The testimoney was released at the board's regular monthly meeting yesterday, but action on Harvey's replies to the set of questions was postponed until Oct. 22. Supervisor Neal Mast (R- Scio), chairman of the special committee, told the board yes- terday that his committee has not had time to completely re- view Harvey's answers. "At 11:00 a.m. Monday the answers were handed to me by the sheriff," said )Mast- "Since then the committee met twice yesterday but we still need to review the questions at subse- quent meetings." The special committee ques- tioning the sheriff's financial operations submitted the sec- ond set of questions after they decided that Harvey's answers to a first set were "inconch- safety booklet-a pamphlet re- sembling a safety guide printed by the State Sheriff's Associa- tion-was taken over by Daniel Stashkiw, "a private promoter," in 1967 and 1968 and Stashkiw "was in no way connected with the Washtenaw Sheriff's De- partment." The committee also request- ed, that Harvey produce a copy of an expense account which he submitted to the County Ac- counting Dept. covering ex- pense incurred during an ex- tradition trip over the 1966 New Year's holiday when he used more than $1,000 of county money. Harvey claimed the account- ing report is missing, and "has not shown up anywhere, includ- ing in the County Bldg." How- ever. the sheriff listed the ap- proximate costs of the trip in his answer, In response to the commit- tee's questions concerning the operation of the C o u n t y Jail's commissary-a concession which supplies candy and to- bacco to prisoners at a profit- the gheriff said a "very smnl1 that "any money that may have come up missing from the prop- erty box of a prisoner was re- placed from the concession funds." When Harvey took office, ac- cording to the document, the concessions w e r e purchased from the Ann Arbor Tobacco Co,. a wholesaler, instead of from the Main Street Grocery where they were formerly pur- chased. He also said the profits were now "used for purchas- ing equipment for the County Jail, which is in the jail now, such as air conditioners." According' to Harrison, ac- tions which the board can take against Harvey are limited. "If the sheriff responds to the questions posed by the special committee no matter how in- conclusive they are, the board cannot do anything," he said. "The board is not a judicial body, nor are we qualified to professionally investigate charges which have been level- ed at the sheriff. That is a matter for the Courts and the State Attorney General's Of- fice " I .. i I 3 4 t i i f By URBAN LEHNER Editorial Director Special to the Daily FLINT - Since the beginning of the campaign the principal source of political heat in this heavily working class city of about 220,000 has been the fire-breathing of third party candidate George C. Wallace. Already two Flint locals of the normally Democratic United Auto Workers have endorsed Wallace, one of them in heavy voting. This was the fire Richard M. Nixon attempted to extinguish in a one-stop appearance here yes- terday. Listing grievances with which, he said, the workingman has a right to be fed up,kthe Republican nevertheless argued that to trans- late dissatisfaction with the John- son administration into a vote for Wallace would be in effect an exercise in futility: "Do you just want to make a point or do you want to make a' change? "Do you want to get something off your chest or do you want to get something done? "Do you just want to get a mo- ment's satisfaction, or do you want to get four years of action? FEW WORKERS The problem was that Nixon's 5000-plus audience included few workingmen. It seemed to be com- posed primarily of loyal Republi- cans - who lustily cheered the introduction of Republican digni- taries from Gov. George Romney to the GOP candidate' for Flint drain commissioner - the elder- ly, business executives and their wives, and schoolchildren who were apparently using the func- tion as an excuse to cut classes. In contrast Wallace, speaking here last week, reportedly d r e w factory workers off their second- shift jobs to hear his address. And Nixon's deviations from his prepared text reflected awareness of the un-proletarian character of the crowd. The 350 word address given to the press in advance in- eluded five specific references to "workers" or "the workingman." But the candidate never used either word in his actual delivered speech. And while the text was ' solely directed to Wallace (whom Nixonnever mentioned by name), the speech itself spent the areat-j audiences here. For Nixon, it was. the only Michigan stop yesterday in a four-city transcontinental tour that ended last night in Los Angeles. In the absence of a sizable Wallace-leaning contingent (al- though as 7th District Republi- can Congressman Donald Aiegle intoned the "who's the one?" cad- ence with which he . introducedr Nixon one heckler did answer t aiipa gu "Wallace!" the affair was trans-' formed from a political firefight- ing performance into a typical Nixon 'campaign rally. As such,f it was a nice example of the genre. The Nixon po ium personality is woven togethe out of a num- ber of divergent strands-a pen- chant for encapsuling complex ideas in epigrams, persistent at- tempts to "personalize" his ap- peal with references to his wife, and a barely-suppressed egotism. Some of these motifs were ob- servable yesterday. Nixon com- bined epigram and egotism to ex- plain his stance on Vietnam, fort example. Bowing to Riegle (who was voted a 1967 'Congressman of the Year by the liberal N a t i o it magazine, largely for his construc- tive proposals on Vietnam), Nixon observed: "He understands, as I think I understand, the nature of this war. It's not just for territory, but for people. That's where we've failed, by not bringing the South Vietnamese into it enough." NOT SUBTLE Nor is the egotism always so subtle. Promising to solve the problems of crime, Nixon averred, "I know how to do it; I'm an expert in this area." The Republican candidate has embodied his attempts to bring the campaign down to earth in a well-rehearsed line he uses when- ever he shares the, platform with a prominent Republican. Praising one GOP wife specifically - yes- terday it was Nancy Riegel - then extending the praise to the wives of other named Republicans, he ends with a modest quip, "We all married above ourselves." Another Nixon ploy is to share his political strategy with the au- dience. "Michigan is a critical swing state," he said. "That's why I'm here today, and that's why I'm coming back two more times before election day." and fees can be used . ."; LIt i lI- -suggestion that in order to !

EVALUATE MERITS Bus~dconsiders underdgradrl By BILL LAVELY The future of the undergrad- uate program in the School of Business Administration is in doubt. A committee of the business administration faculty assembly studying the undergraduate pro- gram is considering the pos- sibility of discontinuing t h e program entirely. A report is ex- pected sometime this semester. The five-member committee, appointed last March and charged with making a com- pleted review of the Bachelor of Business Administration degree We may decide to increase en- rollment or retain it at its pre- sent level. "The committee was given a free hand," he adds. One professor at the business school, who prefers to remain anonymous, explained that some *segments of the business admin- istration faculty question the value of the undergraduate pro- gram. Their arguments include the fact that some big business schools, like Harvard, have no undergraduate program. There is a feeling among some the liberal arts than they are now getting in the undergrad-. uate program. L. Lynnwood Aris, Director of business school admissions and a member of the committee, said that the committee was estab- lished as part of a periodic re- view of all programs in t h e school. "All of our degree programs' have had committee review in the past few years. A committee studying the Masters degree program gave its report-last fall, and substantial changes were made in the curriculum.. Vice President for Student Af- fairs Allan F. Smith said that he had met with the committee and discussed the discontinua- tion of the program, but he said "there was no concensus in the committee either wpy. I don't think a decision to end the pro- gram is by any means certain." . There are about 270 students in the undergraduate program, which consists of upperclassmen only. The BBA study committee was appointed by the curriculum committee of the business ad- ministration faculty - assembly. The committee members be-
