those exhibited by demonstrators.

DALEY DEMO
Inside the convention hall,
hundreds of ' brightly ,colored
signs, all reading "We Love Mayor
Daley" were hoisted in the spec-
tators' section and on the floor.
Chicago Mayor Richard J. Da-
ley, the focus of bitter attacks for
police handling of the Wednesday
demonstrations, was boosted to
the shoulders of the'*Illinois dele-
gates as the crowd roared its ap-
proval.
Some of the gallery demon-
strators said they received passes
into the tight security hall from
their ward committeemen.
On each delegate's seat was a
statement by Daley defending his
administration's action.
"This administration and the
people of Chicago have never con-
doned brutality at any time," his
statement said, "but they will
never permit a lawless violent
group of terrorists to menace the
lives of millions of people."
A more genuinely spontaneous
demonstration followed the show-
ing of a film tribute to the late
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
Cheering, singing delegates ig-
nored calls for order from the

acceptance speech said, "Neither mob violence nor police
brutality has any place in America."
Seventy-nine people were arrested, some of them conven-

e~s' protest march
' - By JILL CRABTREE
Ron Brown, former director of
student financial aids at the Uni-
versity of Colorado and a grad-
uate student here, has been rec-
ommended to fill the post of re-
tiring financial aids director Wal-
ter B. Rea.
Brown was chosen by an inter-
viewing committee composed of
students, faculty, and financial
aids office staff. Its recommenda-
tions will be put before the Re-
gents at their September meeting
for final consideration.
An, ad hoc committee of black
and white student calling them-
selves the Committee for the Re-
form of Aid to Students (COM-
RAIDS) had recommended Brown
to the interviewing committee
along with one other possible can-
didate as, "equally acceptable."
The other COMRAIDS candi-
date was reportedly a former di-
rector of financial aids at Indiana
University.
Bill Lombus, one of the origin-
ators of COMRAIDS and a mem-
ber of Graduate Assembly, said
the group was "extremely pleased"
with the appointment
"He was our fist choice," Lom-
bus said. "He is very aware of stu-
dent financial problems and is
Svery progressive. He seemed will-
ing to entertain the idea of stu-
dent policy-making in the aids
office."
During the past summer COM-
RAIDS presented several proposals
for change in the aids office to
interim Vice President for Stu-
dent Services Barbara Newell, to
whom the financial aids office is
responsible.
The proposals'outlined plans for
the, establishment of a tri-partite
policy-making committee with a
heavy student representation.
This committee, Lombus said,
would "set financial aid policy
within the constraints of the Uni-
versity's budget' and. act as a

STUDENTS SE EK POSTS
Regent race
By NADINE COHODAS
The regental elections are
going to be unconventional for
a variety of reasons this year.
For the first time two students
will be challenging both Repub-
lican and Democratic candi-
dates for the two contested
seats on the board. The stu-
dents, Eric Chester and Thomas
R. Copi, were nominated last
week by the Ann Arbor-based
Citizens for New Politics party.

son for running was' that "no
one from the northern two-
thirds of the state from the
Democratic party was running."
Brown said he felt this part of
the state "should have repre-

Observing the recent student-
administration conflicts, Brown
contends the University "should
permit students to have a larger
voice in University policy and
affairs. When I was there we
students had very little to say."
