City officials and a spokesman
for the U.S. Attorney's office in
Detroit yesterday refused to con-
firm or deny rumors that tihe Jus-

to complaints f r o in Atnn Arbot'

"This office never confit'med or
detnied that tile inlvestigation was

James Gindin admitted that
"both the student members

However, yester'day 's resolut ionl
stipulates that faculty ex-officio

Despite tile apprtoval of student

possible target fom' continuing pro-

Louis Orin of thle Neat' Easternm

explicit to calml studetnt suspicions

"I can jutst hear students now
