Hastings, but decided he would most ef-
fectively serve the University in that
capacity.
He said he was very surprised when
the Regents asked him to replace
Fleming._
"WHEN THE REGENTS contacted
me on Monday, I thought they wanted
my assistance in finding a new
president. They told me they wanted a
response by Tuesday morning so that
Fleming's decision to leave and an-
nouncement of a new acting president
could be announced simultaneously,"
said Smith.
Hastings Law School Dean Marvin
Anderson commended the Regents
decision and said the school would
"sorely miss" Smith.
"The University of Michigan is to be
congratulated for its wisdom and per-
ception in persuading Professor Smith
to become president," said Dean An-
derson.
ANDERSON SAID the students were
greatly impressed by Smith when he
taught there in the fall of 1976 and were
eagerly awaiting his arrival on cam-
pus.
Smith refused to speculate on the
major issues facing the University
next year, explaining he had not had
time to meet with Fleming or other
administrators to discuss the agenda.
Smith was born on December 19, 1911
in Belgrade, Nebraska. After com-
pleting his undergraduate studies at
Nebraska State Teachers College a
the University of Nebraska, he earne
Master of Law degree at the Univers
in 1941.
AFTER A TWO YEAR stint in
Military Intelligence Service du
World War II, he returned to Ann Ar
in 1946 to lecture in law and work a
research associate.
In 1947, he was appointed an assists
professor offlaw at the University a
was promoted to associate professor
1950 and to professor in 1952.
He became dean of the Law School
1960 and vice-president for acaden
affairs in 1965. He resigned that post
1974 to return to teaching law. He se
he will continue his teaching duties
the remainder of the semester.

necessitated the addition of 20 minutes
to the high schools' schedules, and the
time change caused a change in bus
scheduling, thus new elementary school
hours were needed. These new hours
have created problems for employed
parents who leave for work before their
children leave for school in the mor-
ning.
The board has suggested implemen-
tation of a child supervision program to
eleviate the situation, but the idea has
not been greeted enthusiastically.
The program would feature low-key
activities such as movies, arts and craf-
ts, beginning at 8 a.m., until school
starts. Parents would have to provide
transportation and pay a fee of $1 per
day for one child, and .75 for each ad-
ditional child..
President of the Ann Arbor Education
Assocition Larry Stewart, objects to the
charge. "We created this situation," he
said. "It's unfair to charge parents who
pay taxes for this service."
HOWEVER, DOUGLAS Walker, Ann
Arbor Schools Recreation Director,
said, "In most cases, for working
parents, they are already paying for a
sgruntled.
baby sitting service 4nd this would
hopefully be more educational. It would
be our hope that as the program
matures the supervisors will have some
feedback ,from teachers to set up
programs to' help benefit the child's
regulaf school."
The program could be harmful to the
children's development and education,
according to Thurston Elementary
School principal Burton Lamkin. "Our
concern is that the total school day is
being made longer," he noted. "The
llonger the school day, the more energy
used up, the less learning will take
place. Any child who attends that
program will be in school seven hours
and 20 minutes which is absurd for that
age group."
As an alternative to the program, en-
ding the school day later was
suggested, but decided against. Accor-
ding to Harry Howard, Schools Superin-
tendent, this plan "couldn't be done
without inconveniencing many, many
others." He noted that children par-
ticipating in intermediate intermural
sports programs and other after school
activities would be unable to return
home before dark.
