Building an By DAVID WEIR Sports Editor, 1968-69 Since Don Canham became athletic di- rector last June, the 50-year old former Wolverine track coach has consolidated his power in the Michigan athletic corporation to a point where he is now (like his prede- cessor H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler) virtually a dictator. At the same time, he has increased his influence regionally and nationally and is probably the most powerful athletic director in the Big Ten. During his seven months in office, Can- hm has made extensive changes in personnel -the 4nost notable being the big name shifts in football and basketball. Former head coaches Bump Elliott and Dave Strack ae now assistants on his administrative staff. Canham has hired ,11 new coaches, in- cluding three blacks, and released five others. The new composition of his staff should result in more wins and more money for Michigan's athletic structure in the near future. -thietic Four key episodes are involved in Can- ham's restructuring of the department: -At the December Big Ten meeting, Can- ham talked conference commissioner Bill Reed out of putting Michigan on one-year probation for a loan violation:; -Within a month after the football sea- son ended, Canham convinced Elliott to retire as football coach and hired Bo Schembechler to replace him: -Currently, with Elliott's assistance, Can- ham is soliciting funds from alumni to ex- pand Michigan's intercollegiate and intra- mural facilities; -Last summer Canham innovated a series of sports "clinics" for area youth. Two major problems confronted Canham when he took office July 1: he had to find a way to make money and he had to reno- vate Michigan's tarnished athletic image. The second of these proved to be a com- plex problem. He was obliged to make whole- sale personnel changes and to conduct a first-rate job of diplomacy before the Big Ten conference meeting in December. macbin In February, 1968. the Daily reported that Michigan athletes were receiving illegal dis- counts from local merchants. Subsequent investigations conducted by both the Big Ten and the Board in Control of Intercol- legiate Atheltics corroborated practically all of the charges, but concluded that only a reprimand was necessary. However, when John Dewey, Big Ten as- sistant commissioner and examiner, came to Ann Arbor to conduct the official investiga- tion, the Daily informed him of an illegal loan transaction between football player Cecil Pryor and ex-assistant Y. C. McNease. Pryor had been arrested on an assault and battery charge, and McNease paid his $25 bond and $57 in parking fines. Before the incident was made public. McNease resigned and Crisler ordered Pryor to repay the loan. Pryor promptly did and was placed on a temporary suspension over the summer. Before the 1968 season started, Canham and Marcus Plant, the Michigan faculty representative to the Big Ten, went before Michigan at the conference eligibility committee and ensured Pryor's eligibility to play for the upcoming season. In Oct. 13, 1968. when the Big Ten rep- rimanded Michigan for local merchant dis- counts given to athletes, the Pryor-McNease incident was specifically left unresolved. Commissioner Reed said at that time "whether anything more should be done will Daily n~ews -analysis be up to the athletic directors" at their December meeting. Canham and Plant feared Reed might recommend to the directors that Michigan be put on probation for the Pryor-McNease incident. They reasoned that since Reed was a Michigan graduate, he might- feel com- pelled to maintain his integrity as com- missioner by ruling harshly against his alma mater. In discussions with Reed and several ath- letic directors in the conference. Canham introduced an argument against putting Michigan on probation. He hoped to change enough minds by the December Big Ten meetings to eliminate the possibility of any type of institutional penalty. Canham's argument, which proved suc- cessful at the December meetings, went along the following lines: Before the Illinois "slush fund" scandal the year before, Big Ten officials had always punished the institution involved in a rule violation. In the Illinois case, however. coaches and players were punished for violating the rules. In the Pryor-McNease case, then, the institution (Michigan) should not be held accountable. And, since Pryor had made, restitution and McNease had left the school. neither of them should be punished. Canham further recommended that if the See DON - CANHAM, Page 5 GYMNASTS WIN BIG TEN TITLE See Page 9 Sir -ta~ 4Eait&or WARMER High--55 Low-3U Partly cloudy, showers probable tonight and tomorrow Vol. LXXIX, No. 142 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, March 23, 1969 Ten Cents Ten Pages SGC to hold run-off election Miller boycotts election By.

The proposal was arafted yes- terday by the general studies com- inittee, which was commissioned at the last faculty ;meeting to study the new degree program. Hays is expected to release the report to the faculty tomorrow. The special session would pre- cede the faculty's regular month- ly meeting on April 7, Hays paid yesterday. Members of the executive com- mittee contacted indicated they favored scheduling a special meet- ing. The Daily learned yesterday that the committee decided not to re- commend a new degree program in general studies. Instead, it un- animously approved the restruc- turing of the Bachelor of Science degree to provide "a flexible al- ternative to the Bachelor of Arts degree." The members of the committee favored retention of the tradi- tional BA degree, but did not feel :gree Students who enrolled in the BS degree would have to choose whether they were interested in "the student orientation or the discipline orientation." Both would require 120 credit hours for grad- uation t h o u g h the student's hours might be spent differently in each program. Although the details of the two approaches have not been released yet, it is not likely they will not set the same requirements for the degree. The specific requirements of students who chose the discipline approach would be contingent on the particular discipline they se- lected. Entrance requirements and grad- plan. ing standards for both the stu- dent and the discipline approaches 'would be the same. A student would be admitted to the literary college first and then choose his degree program. The committee has met several times and discussed how to struc- ture the general studies program, Several proposals have been con- sidered by the committee. One proposal suggested that one of the requirements for admission to the college and, the degree pro- gram be a two-year study of a foreign language In high school. Another proposal recommended that students be required to take at least 60 hours of 300 level and above courses, but with no con- centration reqirements. T Vomen strike out against pageant prostitu tion f Freedom from 36-22-36 ., .,. ! The key to the ending of the strike was an agreement between the Black Student Union and a faculty committee appointed by Hayakawa. The agreement stated that all those charged with non- .vlolent acts were to be given a "letter of reprimand" and those charged with violent acts be at most suspended for the rest of the semester. Members of the Black Student Union said they believed that the faculty committee had the power to bind the administration to all agreements, including amnesty. a majority when the second choiceA votes of all the other candidates p are added to his total, he shouldA be declared the winner.

After two hours of deliberation, the jury awarded $140 in back rent to J. Edward Kloian, owner of Arbor Manage- ment, which owns the house in which Miss Lewis lives at 549 Packard. Kloian had asked for full payment of $250, the total rent which Miss Lewis had withheld for the past two months. Miss Lewis' case is the second- jury trial resulting from the rent strike.
