FLINT -Presidential candidate " George C. Wallace swept through * the state yesterday drawing the f largest crowds of any presidential * contender to date. More than 11,000 supporters crowded the Flint Atwood Sta- dium last night as factories in theK:' Flint' area were reportedly shut- ting down because of a lack of workers who were apparently at- tending the rallies. Earlier, 12,000 in Grand Rapids listened to the former Alabama governor lambast the Supreme Court; 6,000 jammed the east grounds of the state house in S Lansing as he defied Gov. George Romney's refusal to host him dur- ing his tour; and 6,000 greeted him at Kalamazoo as he told a bearded protester, "You'd better have your say now, because when I become president you will be all through in this country." Throughout the state he re- ceived warm welcomes, except in Kalamazoo where a large portion of the 6.000 in the crowd, jeered him. Capping his stormy, one-day tour of the state, the American Independent Party candidate told ere the Flint audience last night, "The tee Kerner Commission report says rd that our society is sick, that the ers American people are sick. Well, ng I'll tell you, it's the Supreme eir Court in Washington that's sick!" for Wallace, delivering the same istock speech in each of the four aid cities, harshlynattacked the Su- ed preme Court and "federal bureau- re- , cracy"in general.

Consider new OSA corn By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN Acting Vice President for Student Affairs Barbara Newell is moving ahead with plans which would fulfill much of the spirit-if not the letter--of the Hatcher Commission report. The Hatcher Commission report com- pleted last March urged increased participa- tion of students in the office, including the formation of a student-controlled "Executive Board" which would assist the vice president and act as the office's policy making group. Mrs. Newell's plans include the creation of a network of "operating committees" which would assist the directors of the nine divisions of the Office of Student Affairs in navrina' nut the funtion of their dep. heavily on Faculty Assembly's Student Re- lations Committee (SRC) for advice on po- licy decisions of the office. At present, for example, SRC is consider- ing the problems of the use of the Univer- sity's bail fund and of the maintenance and use of OSA records. Though essentially a faculty group, SRC includes representatives of Student Govern- ment Council and Graduate Assembly, None- theless, Mrs. Newell expects to initiate further contact with students through con- sultations with a student advisory com- mittee.
