1 Page 10-Tuesday, September 18, 1979-The Michigan Daily Riccardo to retire (Continued from Page 1) statement. "IT WOULD be most unfair to the new management and to the employees of Chrysler if my continued presence as board chairman should in any way hin- der the final passage of our request for federal loan guarantees." Riccardo said his doctors advised him to retire immediately after a heart problem was diagnosed May 18. He suf- fered chest pains while driving to the airport en route to a White House con- ference on tthe future of the auto in- dustry. He 'was hospitalized for less than a week, but spent about two weeks at home after that. Chrysler turned to the federal gover- nment after suffering a $207 million loss in the second quarter. On Saturday, it revealed its estimate for the entire 1979 loss now stood at $1.07 billion.' IN RECENT weeks, Riccardo has been devoting almost all his time to the request for help for Chrysler, spending several days a week in Washington. Iacocca has been taking care of most of his other duties. Riccardo said last Nov. 2 he would recommend to company directors that Iacocca succeed him as board chair- man. Thursday "In my judgement, Lee Iacocca is one of the foremost automobile men in the industry," he said. "That was my judgement when I brought him in, and that is my judgement now. "I AM absolutely confident that un- der his leadership the company will return to the position of eminence that it deserves." A native of Little Falls, N.Y., Riccar- do earned a master's degree from the University of Michigan and became a certified public accountant. He joined Chrysler in 1959 as a financial staff executive. When Townsend retired in 1975, Ric- cardo became chairman and chief executive.

"WE think this classified secrecy stuff has gone too far," Andy Boehm, a part time writer for the Press Connection, said last night. "And we figured somebody had to make a stand." Both Hansen and Howard Morland, whowrote the Progressive article, had contended that the technical infor- mation on the bomb was readily available through public sources. Han- sen said he studies nuclear weapons as a hobby. His article, 'printed with diagrams by the Press Connection, was written in support of The Progressive. The Press Connection is published in the same town as The Progressive, a fact which Boehm explained "goes back to the peculiar political tradition of Madison." According to Boehm, Madison is a "highly political, very left wing" town, in which what the gover- nment says "has not been taken as the gospel truth. "GIVEN THE general attitudes that prevailed in this area," Boehm said, "this is what was expected, and we delivered. We figured that we owed it to our readers." The Press Connection's article was printed Sunday morning, a day the newspaper normally does not publish. The sudden publication was in response, to the federal government's court order Saturday prohibiting the Daily Califor- nian from printing the same infor- mation by Hansen. Fearing that their own paper would be next, Boehm said, "we thought we would beat them to the punch." Charles Burruss, an editorial page editor of the Daily Californian, described his newspaper's response to the publication as "one of surprise, awe, and respect for their courage, and certainly one of relief." Referrfing to the Press Connection, Burruss said his paper "admires their risk, and is sup- portive of taeir rights." ALTHOUGH THE Justice Depar- tment has lifted the restraining order against the. Daily Californian, the newspaper's managing editor, -Joshua Gosfield, said he had not decided yet whether to publish the letter. "But it is nice to know the Justice Department finally came to its senses," he said.. r Adamson said the Justice Depar- tment's criminal division "will under- take a preliminary inquiry to' deter- mine whether any prosecution is p- propriate for violation of court ordersin the two cases and the Atomic Energy Act." He added that there would be no risk in any future publication of HAn- sen's information because "it is now in the public domain." ACCORDING TO Adamson, the ar- ticle exposed three critical concepts dealing with H-bomb construction. The Progressive and Hansen claim that these concepts were readily available to the public, specifically at the Los Alamos Scientific Library in New Mexico. The governmentrdiscovered the mistake and removed the material from the public shelves. Some observers felt the gover- nment's case had been weakened before the latest developments when the Milwaukee Sentinel ran a two-part series on its front pages April 30 and May 1, explaining the principals of the bomb.

According to Mosher-Jordan Resident Director Susan Harris, this may be because more students are receiving assignments in the dorms of their choice. Mosher-Jordan has com- piled a waiting list of approximately 25 students, but currently has no rooms available.' MARKLEY HALL requires students desiring changes to fill out a request form, but, according to Senior Desk Dorm room swaps running smoothly;_freeze lifted. Clerk Linda Benson,. resident advisors discourage changes. "Changes result in a lot of confusion for both students and staff," Benson said. "Mail gets lost and students are hard to locate. We try, through coun- seling, to work out the problems that have prompted the desire-for a switch," West Quad Director Leon West said normally they can work through their waiting list by early October, but due to a low matriculation rate, he does not expect that to be the case this year. "Kids are staying in school this year. They seem to realize the realities of the University of Michigan and are able to adapt and adjust better to University life than students of the past," he said.

The lower court's definition of "breach of the peace does not warrant reversal, as the WCCAA contends; - A public body may base admission to a public meeting upon a search for weapons; " A public body should make a "good faith effort" to. accommodate the num- ber of people reasonably expected to at- tend its meetings; *" The lower court properly granted judgment for the University on the WCCAA's counterclaim for an injun- ction; and s The WCCAA is not entitled to attor- ney fees and costs.." "THE REGENTS are quite willing to allow the public to observe how its business is conducted. The question in this case is whether a group demon- strating for a cause, no matter how worthy, can use the Open Meetings Act to disrupt public business. The answer, we submit, is found in the uncontrover- tible notion that without the right to transact public business, there will be no public institutions to observe," Davis' brief states. Also in legal defense of the move, he contends that "under the Open Meetings Act and constitutionality, it makes no difference whether the protester is taken from the meeting or the meeting is taken from the protester. If one course is permitted (and ap- pellant (WCCAA) has admitted as much), then the other course should be equally permissible." In his written argument, O'Brien said, "If a public body changes its meeting place from the posted location - either before a meeting begins or af- ter a meeting is convened, but recesse - the meeting has been 'rescheduled' within the meaning of the act and a 'public notice' of the 'new dates, times, and places' must be posted as required by the Open Meetings Act." THE UNIVERSITY attorney said the Regents could have restored order at their March meeting by either massive police intervention or recessing and moving the meeting. "The lower court approved the passive, non-violent method of ex- clusion as consistent with the Open Meetings Act and public policy," Davis said. "The purpose of recessing and relocating is not to evade the Act, but to exclude those persons who breach the peace. Any person who breaches the peace should not even have standing to complain about insufficient notice of the new meeting place, as they may be lawfully excluded anyway," the brief states. IN RESPONSE to O'Brien's conten- tion. that a public body may not con- dition admission to a public meeting upon a search for weapons, Davis responds: "Evidently, appellant (WC- CAA) contends that the Act requires a .....

Judge Campbell's initial ruling in support of the University was the first judicial interpretation of the 1977 Open Meetings Act. The circuit court record must now be ordered before the state court hears the case.

Marwil, however; objected to the decision because he was not given a tenure review, a standard procedure in such cases. Although the Senate Advisory Review Committee (SARC) unanimously agreed that Marwil deserved a review; the Department of Humanities of the College of Engineering, and the Rege- ts, decided to take no further action in the case. Marwil subsequently filed suif against the University. THE SENATE Assembly reviewed the possibility of approaching the Regents again and seeking their inter- vention in this case. In an unusual move, the meeting was closed to the public for 45 minutes as the case was discussed. d Among those asked to leave they Assembly was Marwil himself, not one of the 68 Senate members, who waited outside until the doors were reoDened.
