business school on Washtenaw Ave. in Ypsilanti.

He will assume office immediately but will not
accept a salary until he finishes his term in the
Senate on December 31.
"WE HAVE SEARCHED carefully for the type of
leadership Cleary College most needs at this time,"
said Arthur Sempliner, chairman of the Board of

Food prices decline
0.1 per cent in Aug.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sharply
lower food prices pushed overall
wholesale prices down 0.1 per cent in
August. the first decline in this key
measure of inflation in two years, the
government said yesterday..
Average grocery prices in retail
stores already had declined last month
for the first time in four years. The
decline at the wholesale level means
consumers will continue to enjoy some
inflation relief in weeks and months
ahead since price trends at the
wholesale level, especially for food,
eventually are reflected in lower
consumer prices.
Wholesale prices had increased 0.5
per cent in July and were up 7.7 per cent
over the 12-month period ending in
August. The Labor Department said
consumer food prices at the wholesale
level dropped 1.5 per cent in August, the
biggest drop in two years.

Mayor Pro Ten Gerald Bell (R-Fifth

"Basically, I like it. We've not had a
way in which to reward younger,
inexperienced police officers, and I
think this is a good way to reward
them."
He added he had some reservations
about the program, particularly
regarding the "emphasis on quantity

said that the force is evaluated on the
basis of service in ten areas including

He added the service rating system is

conjunction with the oral and written

important. Members of that force are

the Indians claim, continued Daane,
subsequent treaties abrogated any
agreement made between the
University and the tribes.
Daane stated "for the record," that
the University would not at this time
offer the "defense of laches" but
teserved that right if the case should
move into other phases.
LACHES, AS a defense, means that if
a trust did exist, the Native Americans
forfeited the benefits because they took
too long to assert their rights to
'education at the University.
Daane called to the stand the
University's only witness, Helen
Hornbeck Tanner, the director of a
roject to create an atlas of Great
Lakes Indian history. Daane asked the
court to qualify Tanner as an "expert"
witness. The Native Americans had
called upon two historians to act as
expert witnesses.
But the lawyer for the tribes, Elmer
White, an Ann Arbor-based attorney,
'made strenuous objections to the court
over the admissability of Tanner as an
expert witness.
Tanner admitted under White's
examination that the University had
paid her $2,000 to research article 16 of
the Treaty of Fort Meigs. Tanner also
"testified that she had declined an offer
to do research for the tribes. She also
acknowledged that White had told her
he could pay her little, if at all.
Tanner then lashed out at White for
trying 'to impune her integrity. She
countered that White told her he
expected to make $1 million on this
case. Attorney White asked the court to
dismiss University witness Tanner
since she had been paid by the
'University without the knowledge of the
court. The judge denied White's motion,
and accepted Tanner as an expert
witness.
Tanner, under questioning by Daane,

testified that the Treaty of Fort Meigs
was negotiated in order to obtain the
last remaining lands in the Ohio-
Michigan area still owned by Indians.
TANNER stated that although no
Indians attended the University for at
least 80 years after the Fort Meigs
treaty, no subsequent treaties indicated
that this was a violation of article 16 of
the 1817 pact. She said it was a common
practice for Indians to complain about
inadequacies of prior treaties when
negotiating new ones.'
Tanner testified that article 16 of the
Fort Meigs Treaty "was an
unimportant detail of the treaty"
relative to the overall purpose - to
unite densely populated Ohio with the
little-settled Michigan Territory.
DAANE'S MOST intensive
questioning of Tanner came on the
point of Indian interest in education.
Noting incident after incident, Tanner
recited a long list of examples of the
troubles missionaries such as McCoy
had had in providing Indians with
education.
When Daane finished his examination
of Tanner - which had carried over a
few hours into the second day of the
trial - White began one of the longes
cross examinations in recent
Washtenaw Circuit Court history.
