existing system and capable of
bringing to the situation fresh
points of view. The Board believes
that the University would benefit
from such a review at the present
time, and I have been directed to
request that SACUA take the ac-
tion necessary to bring it about.
More specifically, the Board
would propose the appointment of
a committee charged with the fol-
lowing tasks:
(1) to inform itself concerning
the constitution under which the
newspaper operates, and the prac-
tices which govern that opera-
tion;
(2) to consider the proper pur-
pose, function, and responsibility
of a student newspaper in this
university commuity;
(3) to consider whether the ex-
isting arrangements at the Uni-
versity of Michigan adequately
serve these goals, and to' recom-
mend changes if better alterna-
tives can be identified.
You may be assured of the
Board's full cooperation with such
a study committee. The Board will
also underwrite whatever expendi-
tures may be made necessary by
the investigation.
Sincerely yours,
Luke K. Cooperrider,
Chairman
week.
SACUA Chairman Brown com-
mented that his group would be
likely to develop a "broad and well-
informed committee representing
many viewpoints."
Brown described the Board's re-
quest for an investigation as "un-
derstandable" in view of "con-
siderable discussion" among ad-
ministration and faculty mem-
bers of certain stories.
He advocated the inclusion of
students and administration rep-
resentatives in the committee, an
action which apparently would be
opposed by at least some Board
members.
Brown predicted that the fac-
ulty would not react emotionally
to the situation. He commented
The Daily as a "fine student
paper" but reiterated that there
'have been questions about whether
some articles have been harmful
to the University and to some in-
dividuals."
He emphasized that SACUA
would not be serving as a censor,
in its review of The Daily's opera-
tion.
novative idea that doesn't do vio-
lence to editorial freedom."
"If you people (the Daily edi-
tors) feel your operation can't
stand examination, you're in worse
shape than we realized," a Board
member commented.
One of the Board's three stu-
dent members, Stephen Berkowitz,
Grad, said "I feel that the action
of the Board as taken at this time
is a political act not consonant
with the role of the Board as a
fair arbiter of journalist practice
and the role of a free student
press. Although it was not the
sense of the Board that the fac-
ulty ought to be given 'carte
blanche' in this case, this charge
from the Board might be con-
strued as such. This is dangerous
because there is no guarantee that
the student interest will be pro-
tected."
Most other Board members re-
fused to comment on the decision.
