Romney May
Name Negro.
Regent Here
Expect Democrat To
Be Appointed; Lawyer
Patrick a Contender
By ROGER RAPOPORT
Gov. George Romney is appar-
ently giving serious consideration
to the appointment of a Negro to
the University's Board of Regents
Although the governor has not
decided on a replacement for Re-
gent Allan Sorenson (D-Midland).
Romney's education advisor Char-
les Orlebecke said yesterday that
the governor is thinking about ap-
pointing a Negro.
Oilebecke explained that Rom-
ney is "weighing" the matter be-
cause the University "does not
have a Negro on the board. Frank-
ly this is one type of representa-
tion (Negro) that the governor has
encouraged."
Most other state universities,
such as Wayne State, Western
Michigan, and Eastern Michigan
now have Negro regents.
Leading Contender
While the governor's office de-.
clined to give names, sources in-
dicated that a leading contender
for the post is William Patrick,
'46, a Negro attorney in Detroit,
Patrick, who works for Bell Tele-
phone Co., was formerly a Detroit
city councilman.
If Romney does not appoint a
Negro other Democratic candi-
date include former Regents Don-
ald M.D. -Thurber of Grosse Pointe,
and Irene Murphy of Birmingham.
Another candidate is Robert
Nederlanders of Detroit.
Republican candidates include
Lawrence B. Lindemer of Stock-
bridge, John Feikens of Detroit,
and Mrs. Marcia Strickland of
Bloomfield Hills.
Most / observers expect Romney
to name a Democrat.
Currently there are seven Re-I
publicans on the Board of Re-
gents. "The governor considers bi-
partisan representation very im-
portant," Orlebecke said. "This
has been his general practice."
Appointment
He added that the governor will
most likely name the new Regent i
during the week of Feb. 27.
"The governor simply hasn't
made up his mind yet," said Orle-
becke. Romney will be on a West-
ern speaking tour until Ftb. 23.
If Romney appoints a Repub-!
lican, it would be the first time
in many years that the board
would be without a Democrat. Two
o Democratic Regents have resign-
ed in the past year and the Re-
publicans won two seats away'
from the Democrats in the No-
vember elections.
Concern has been voiced at thce
University over the delay in ap-
pointing a replacement for Regent
Sorenson who resigned last month
because of overseas business com-
mitments.
Some critics say that the Uni-
versity needs a full board of Re-
gents to work on finding a suc-
cessor for President Harlan Hatch-
er who retires in December.
But Orlebecke said that he'
didn't think Romney felt the ae-
lay "was crippling the Regents.
He wants to make the, right
choice."

STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL last night passed a
resolution stating that Cinema Guild is an officially recognized
board of the Council. The motion asserts that "Council is cog-
nizant of the suit Cinema Guild is waging in Federal Court against
certain officials of the city of Ann Arbor. Since this suit is being
fought for the right of free speech and in the interest of aca-
demic freedom, SGC gives its fullest support."
Jerry Dupont, '67L and a candidate for City Council from
the second ward, spoke to SGC and explained some of the major
issues in his campaign; among these are housing, transportation
and the relation between students and city authorities. Dupont
asserted that students have become "scapegoats of the police."
THE REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR'S Committee on Public
Employe Unionism will be made public today in Lansing by
Gov. George W. Romney. It is expected to recommend that uni-
versities should bargain collectively with their employes under
existing state law. The committee was chaired by Prof. Russell A.
Smith of the law school.
THE PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION on Student Participation
in University Decision-Making yesterday announced the creation
of a central information office at 1008 Rackham (764-4405).
The announcement of the office to deal with questions or
suggestions about the commission's work came at a regular
meeting. Several proposals were brought forward and held over
for later consideration. Among them were the possibility of meet-
ing with various University and related organizations such as
SACUA, the Student Relations Committee of the Senate Assem-
bly, and the Ann Arbor City Council.
The creation of a possible target date for the completion of
the commission's report was discussed. One proposal was that the
commission issue a progress report at the end of the current
semester and a final report to coincide with the arrival of the
new President.
The commission's next meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 23,
from noon to 2 p.m. in Room 3516, Student Activities Building.
This meeting, as are all commission meetings, is open to the
public.

A BROWN UNIVERSITY GRADUATE student was found
guilty yesterday of disturbing a public gathering and sentenced
to six months probation for his protest last November during a
speech by Gen. Earle Wheeler, chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff.
David Schwartzman, a Brown doctoral candidate in geology
rushed on the 'stage during Wheeler's concluding remarks fol-
lowed by a number of protestors. Schwartzman was arrested and
freed on bond the day after the incident.
He was brought to trial before the Sixth District Court in
Providence last week in which a conflict of testimony caused a
delay in a verdict:
Schwartzman had considered that if found guilty he would
appeal the court's decision. Yesterday, however, he said he felt
the ruling was "fair" and that he would abide by the decision.
A MARCH ON LANSING to protest Gov. George Romney's
proposed education budget has been scheduled for March 1.
Walter C. Averill Jr., president of the Michigan Association of
School Boards has announced that circulars and petitions are
being prepared by 10 educational groups around the state to ask
the Legislature for "more money for quality education in
Michigan."
Averill has called for all interested citizens to bring these
petitions to Lansing to personally show support for an enlarged
education program. Romney's budget presently calls for $965
million for education.
A BUSINESS ONE-QUARTER OWNED by the University has
sued the operators of Port Huron's municipally owned McMorran
Auditorium, seeking to block the showing of full-length motion
pictures in the 1,200 seat facility.
The suit was filed by Butterfield Theaters, Inc., 25 per cent
of whose stock is owned by the University. It contends the
showing of commercial films to the public in competition with
private enterprise goes beyond the scope of powers granted the
city and authority board which operates the auditorium.

Calls Student Boycott

Sachar, president of Brandeis

crowded conditions.
He spoke for 20 minutes and
answered questions for the re-

Students afterwards seemed gen-
erally satisfied with his remarks,
although they stressed that the
boycott was necessary to prompt
faculty and administration to acts
on reforms.
Sachar prefaced his policy state

Unanimously Votes.
To Accept Student
Advisoily Boards
By MIKE McGUIRE
The faculty of the engineering
college yesterday passed a motion
critical of the showing of certain
experimental films on campus.
The motion, presented at a
regularly scheduled faculty meet-
ing by Prof. John E. Powers of
the chemical and metallurgidal
engineering departments, states
that "it appears that persons with-
in the academic community have
indeed exceeded the bounds of
common decency and reason."
Powers, in discussing his motion,
made reference to a description
of the contents of the "Flaming
Creatures" and advertisements for
the films "Harlot". and "Blow
Job," all at Cinema Guild.
Approximately 80 of # the 260
members of the college were pres-
ent at the meeting, and most of
them voted in favor of the mo-
tion.

The faculty also voted imani-

because of our society's stress on

Resolution
An academic community op-
erates best in a spirit of free-
dom of inquiry. Such freedom
must be jealously guarded from
attack both: from those outside
the academic community who
might seek to restrict it and
from those inside who interpret
such freedom as license to go
beyond the bounds of common
decency. On the basis of avail-
able evidence it appears that
persons within the academic
community have indeed exceed-
ed the bounds of common de-
cency and reason and we urge
the administration, faculty and
students to take appropriate
action to regain some accept-
able point of equilibrium.
Engineering Student Council pro-
posal to set up StuTdent Advisory
Board: to faculty committees.
The council reco.mmended to the
faculty that it establish five boards
to "help provide an even better
channel of student participation in
decision making."

Students addressed sharp quer-
ies to Sachar in the quesiton ses-
sion. One asked why enrollment
was not cut down from the pro-
jected 2000 for 1967-68.j
Sachar agreed that there was.
crowding in upper level courses,
but insisted that teaching loads
within departments were "mal-l
distributed."
He said "there is no mystique
about the 2000 enrollment figure.;
That number is only tentative. We;
will not sacrifice good teaching.";
Students'insisted that the admin-
istration be more responsible in
the future in notifying students
of policy discussions and more
open in discussing complexities.1
