To resign post after
27 years as president
By MARK LEVIN

Michigan State University President John Hannah is
expected to announce his resignation tonight to join the
Nixon administration as director of the Agency for Interna-
tional Development (AID), Washington sources confirmed
yesterday.
While Hannah acknowledged the possibility of his ac-
cepting a federal post, he emphasized such a move would not
come in the near future.
"There will be a meeting of our Board of Trustees to
consider the possibility of some sort of a shared-time role for
-- balance of this school year,
and the possibility of a full-
T y 1 ; time role in the federal gov-
ernment after that," Hannah
" e said.
M4Speculation on Hannah's resig-

terday when former MSU trustee

In its first full open meet-
ing, the literary college fac-
ulty yesterday postponed by a
close vote action on a motion
to alter the present language
requirement.
Under the motion by Prof. }. '
Robert Hefner of the psychology
department, the present require- ~'
ment -would be reduced to a re-
quired ten credit-hours, \ith
credit given for language study
done elsewhere.
Students would also be able to
petition for other means of satis-
fying the requirement.
Dean William L. Hays made it
clear that Hefner's motion could
be used "as a vehicle" for propos-
ing other motions on the language
requirement which could be acted
upon at the faculty's next meet-
ing in March.
Following the vote to postpone
action. the faculty body became
a "quasi-committee of the whole"
to discuss the language require-
ment.
During the debate Prof. Peter
Smith of the chemistry depart-
ment outlined a proposal similar
to Hefnes, giving ten hours cred-ro
it to those students who entered
the University with language pro-
ficiency.
Students who fulfilled the re-
quirement by taking University C
language courses would receive
either those ten hours of credit or
credit for the language courses
taken to attain proficiency, which-
ever was larger.
Much of the discussion dealt
with the value of learning a for-
eign language.

one.
That recommendation left final

deans and the governing faculty.

students from three more commit-

"A prosecutor and chief of
