University officials yesterday de-
iied that there was widespread
use of LSD and marijuana on cam-
pus.
Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs Richard L. Cutler said, "We
attempt to keep our ear to the
ground but we just haven't picked
up any such information. We may
be stupid or blind, but I think
this office would know if the use
were as widespread as Prof. John
C. Pollard said."
One University administrator in-
sinuated that "Pollard was hav-
ing hallucinations" about the ex-
tent of drug us.
The rebutal followed a'claim by
Prof. Pollard, a psychiatrist in the
Mental Health Research Institute.
that LSD from New York was be-
ing sold on the "black market" in'
Ann Arbor at $5 per capsule.
Administration 'Laughable'
Last night Pollard said, "The
sale of illicit drugs is well-known
by many students; for me to make
a rebuttal to the denial by Univer-
sity administrators would be laugh-:
able." Cutler was unavailable for
comment last night.
Pollard is holding a press con-
ference at 10 a.m. in the Adminis-
tration Bldg. this morning to an-
swer newsmen's questions.
Pollard first made his revela.-
tions that "enormous amounts of
marijuana" and LSD "may be~
used on this campus" to the Wash-
tenaw Medical Society Tuesday:
night. Pollard said last night that
he could not substantiate his
claims with factual evidence. He,
said he had offered his views to,
the meeting of physicians and area
high school teachers as "impres-
sions and opinions."
Pollard has taken the drug five
times himself for experimental
purposes, until the supply was re-
stricted by the federal government.
He is seeking permission to use
the drug in further studies,
Police Chief Comments
Walter E. Krasny, chief of the
Ann Arbor police, said last night
that he believes "there is a great-

of it than two Years aao."
"We have suspicions," said Kras-I

A PROTEST BY LEGAL AID CLINIC Board of Directors
members who represent the poor has been filed with the local,
state and regional offices of the Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity, requesting a withholding of funds from the board pending
a review of the selection of a new clinic director.
Six members of the 19-member board, representing the poor
clientele of the aid clinic, were excluded from selection of the
new director last Thursday, according to Mrs. Emma Wheeler,
head of the local National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.
The petition also protests the exclusion of the'six members
from the original personnel committee. It charges that "the
individual selected for director is a relative of a lawyer member
of the board, and national OEO regulations regarding nepotism
make the hiring of this man illegal."

PROF. 0. L. CHAVARRAI-AGUILAR of the linguistics de-
partment will resign to become chairman of the department of
languages and linguistics at the University of Rochester, it was
learned yesterday.
Chavarria-Aguilar came to the University in 1957 and was
acting director of the linguistics department for the 1966 summer
term. He is currently assistant director of the Linguistics In-
stitute of the Linguistics Society of America.
His current research is concerned with ancient Indian gram-
matical theory. While on leave in 1962-64, he established an
English language program at the Indian Institute of Technology
in Kampur, India.
THE WASHTENAW COMMUNITY COLLEGE Education As-
sociation has petitioned the WCC Board of Trustees to recognize
the association, a faculty group, as exclusive representative for
professional-negotiations and collective bargaining.
The group is seeking recognition under the Hutchinson Act
which requires a public employer to recognize as exclusive repre-
sentative of the employes an organization which is designated
by the majority of employes. The association, a local unit of
the Michigan Association affiliated with the Michigan Education
Association, claims to represent more than 90 per cent of the 41
full-time teachers at WCC.
The board delayed action on the petition until the next meet-
ing. It held an executive session with its attorney on the require-
ments of the Hutchinson Act and expected developments.
THE FORD FOUNDATION has awarded $230,000 to 11 uni-

The grant was presented to the Committee on Institutional
Cooperation, a voluntary association made up of the Big Ten
schools and the University of Chicago. The CIC Far Eastern
language program began in 1963 under a Ford grant.

The anthropology department's
academic advisory committee is
adding non-anthropology majors
to its ranks, accenting a growing
campus trend toward involvement
of a diversified student group in
shaping academic policy.
The anthropology unit is the
~second to include non-majors on
its advisory group. The psychology
department's academic advisory
commiteee took a similar step in
November.

group, according to one member ssociated Pres

Democratic
Regent Here
Top State Official
Says Romney Wants
Bipartisan Board
By ROBERT KLIVANS
Gov. George. Romney is leaning
toward the appointment of a
Democrat to fill the Regent's seat
left vacant by the resignation of
Allan R. Sorenson (D-Midland).
a ranking state education official
indicated yesterday.
"If we follow the Gov.'s past
practice," the source said, the
Board would not become repre-
sentative of merely one party.
Sorenson was the last remaining
Democrat on the Board.
Mrs. Trudy Huebner, one of the
seven Republican Regents, has al-
ready indicated that she feels
Romney should appoint a Dem-
ocrat to fill Sorenson's position.
The announcement of a re-
placement is not expected prior
to the first of February. Romney
and his staff have been preoccu-
pied with the preparation of yes-
terday's stateof-the-state ad-
dress and other pending appoint-
ments.
Democratic representation on
the Board has dwindled rapidly
in the past year. Eugene Power
resigned last March and was re-
placed by Republican Alvin Bent-
ley. Carl Brabec decided not to
seek re-election, and both Re-
publican candidates, Robert Brown
and Mrs. Trudy Huebner, were
victorious in November.
Frequently mentioned in Dem-
ocratic circles is Donald M. D.
Thurber of Grosse Pointe, who
served one two-year term as Re-
gent before he was elected to the
State Board of Education. He was
defeated in November for a full
eight-year term on the State
Board;
Other possibilities on the Dem-
ocratic side include William T.
Patrick Jr., a former Detroit coun-
cilman, and Robert Nederlander,
a Detroit attorney who unsuccess-
fully sought a Democratic Regent-
al nomination last fall.
Republicans mentioned as pos-
sible candidates for the vacancy
include two former Republican
state chairmen, Lawrence B. Lin-
demeer of Stockbridge and John
Feikens of Detroit, and Mrs. Mar-
cia Strickland of Bloomfield Hills,
who is backed by Regent Alvin
Bentley.

But Vice-President for Student

Cutler's assistant David Baad has
attractive curtains in his office
which were originally.installed for
Mrs. Elizabeth Davenport, the
Assistant Director of Student
Counseling who now works up-
stairs.
But other low level administra-
tors lose status when they have
special symbols.
For example top deans usually
get three ashtrays. But asistant
deans only get one. When one
heavy smoking assistant dean
brought an extra ashtray from
home the University Janitors re-
fused to empty' it.
But Plant Department director
Alfred Ueker denies that his staff
plays any role in perpetrating a
typicalMadison Avenue bureauc-
racy here.
"We have no status symbols
around here. Our janitors take
care of all property found in Uni-
versity offices," says Ueker.
Still the OSA's Sells remains to
be convinced. He brought two
Oriental throw rugs to work to
brighten up his drab tile floor.
They have not been cleaned or
vacuumed by University Janitors
in a year.

A "philosophical statement ont

State Master Plan for Higher Ed-

study steering committee for the
development of the plan, according
to John Porter, head of the Bu-
reau of Higher Education and
assistant state superintendent of
public instruction.
The statement will also provide
boundaries and guidelines for in-
vestigations to be conducted by the
study committees now being es-
tablished,' Porter said

The statement will define the
role of the state board and eda'-
cational institutions in develsping
the plan and the obligations of the
institutions to make information
available for .the study.
Porter said the statement would
be concerned with the drafting of
the document and not its content.
Therefore, it would not include a
listing of issues to be studied.
Meanwhile, Harold Smith, pro-
ject director for the master plan,
recently reported that seven study
committees are now being estab-
lished to consider:

enrollment projections leading to
