ARKANSAS PRIMARY:
Fulbright hold

LITTLE ROCK (A) - Sen. J.W.
Fulbright (D-Ark), outspoken
Vietnam war critic, clung to a
small but steady lead in his bid
for renomination in Arkansas'
primaries yesterday.
Fulbright's war position became
the major target of his three op-
ponents as the senator waged his
most extensive campaign since
first being elected to the Senate
in 1944.E
However, the senator held a
majority of the early vote al-,
though he was falling short of the!
65 per cent he had predicted he!
would receive.
W i n t h r o p Rockefeller, the
state's first Republican governor
since Reconstruction, won renom-
ination easily over Sidney C. Rob-
erts, an unemployed salesman
from Little Rock.
Senator Fulbright told news-
men two hours after the polls
closed he wasn't worried about
the race but that it was too early
to tell.

From Wire Service Reports
Several senators viewed yesterday the Ann Arbor Police
Department's copy of the film "Flaming Creatures," which
has become involved in the fight over President Johnson's
nomination of Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas to be Chief
Justice.
The showing of the film, which has been ruled obscene
by the Ann Arbor Circuit Court, was arranged by the Senate
Judiciary Committee. The film came into police hands when
it was confiscated during a

NEW ASSOCIATE DEAN
Sussman style: Baizac and botany
By JILL CRABTREE
Prof. Alfred S. Sussman, chairman
of the botany department, officially
took over as associate dean of the
literary college on July 1.
He has not yet made the move
from his cluttered laboratory in the
Natural Science Building to 1020 An-
gell Hall, where the associate dean
duly presides.
In spirit, he doesn't really plan to
move at all.
Sussman intends to continue both
teaching and research while assbclate
dean. In addition, he has accom-
nWshed the unprecedented task of
operations of the college." He feels
that continued close contact with
students and colleagues as professor
and researcher could only help him
in this job.
Sussman's idea of making science
education in LSA "more effective"
is to "exploit as many resources of
the University as possible for the
benefit of the undergraduate.";
Within the college, he wants to
develop interdisciplinary courses and
concentration programs, not only be-
tween science departments but be-
tween science and humanities de-
partments as well.
aging the artistic efforts of his three
young children. Their paintings and
diawings cover his walls, side-by-
side with mutant mold cultures.
But limited opportunity for self-
expression does not prevent him from
having strong ideas about the need
for a scientist to have contact witl
the humanities.
"The questions involved in profes-
sional ethics, for instance, are cru-
cial ones for the scieptist," he says.
"How does one decide if it is moral
to do research for the Armsy? I do
not wish to make judgements for
others in this matter, but students
