After conferring with men from the special investigation squad of. the Detroit Police Department, Krasny said that all seven inci- dents "appear to have the same type of operations." The explosion of the four to six sticks of dynamite placed in front of the CIA office at 450 S. Main' St. occurred at about 11:30 p.m.; Sunday. The blast shattered all of the building's front windows, over- turned furniture inside the build- ing, dug a three-inch hole in the cement outside the CIA office, and shattered windows in neighboring buildings. The blast was reported to be heard as far as two miles away. Krasny said the bombing "look- ed very professional," explainingt that there were no traces of the bomber Sunday night. "He was apparently long-gone after "the blast," Krasny said. Rough estimates available last night placed external damage be- tween $3,000 and $5,000 and in- ternal damage between $1,000 and $2,000. Fleming speech meets protests By JIM NEUBACHER and JOHN GRAY University President Robben W. Fleming last night called for greater student participation and condemned student "violence, coercion, and threats," while over 100 protesters demonstrated against his State of the University Address. Fleming spoke at the annual Faculty-Staff Convocation in Rackham Lecture Hall before a crowd of 800 faculty members and their wives, and sity students. The demonstrators, some of whom were members and support- ers of "The Jesse James Gang," a faction of Students for a Demo- cratic Society, wandered in and out of the auditorium while Flem- ing's speech was going on. They did not enter as a group until five minutes before the conclusion of the program, when they began to punctuate the president's remarks with applause and calls of "More research," and "What about Thai- land?" "I take a stand in favor of greater student participation in the workings of the University,# but violence, coercion, and intimi- dation are not part of that stand." saidtFleming.

Ross added. Specifically, the report outlined a formula for "equity" whicn would assess the cost of individual instruction at each of four differ- ent levels: lower division, upper division, masters, and doctoral - professional students. James Lesch, assistant vice president for academic affairs, also praised the report as "gen- erally sound work," but, he cau- tioned, "Equity is not the question. First, you make up your n i n d about what you're trying to do, and then you try to fund it." The distinction, as he describes it. is between simply asking for a a level legislators have long con- sidered excessive. Fleming speculated that in the; future the University might have to adopt the model of organiza- tion employed at the University of California, which has many campuses across the state. A stu- dent applies to the university as a whole, and although he may state a preference, he is not as- sured that if accepted, he will be able to go to the campus of his choice. Fleming then considered the financial status of the University, indicating the University faced a period when competition for state dollars was tougher than ever.
