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. Read and Use Daily Classifieds AUD.
