MARWIL IS SEEKING either rein- statement at the University so that his tenure may be reviewed or damages of more than $1 million. University attor- neys maintain that Marwil is suing the Regents and three professors in their capacities as state officials. They claim that the suit should therefore be dismissed because the eleventh amen- dment to the U.S. Constitution bars a federal court from hearing an action by a citizen against a state. Marw-il's attorney, Jerold Lax, op- posed the University's motion for dismissal in court yesterday, claiming the University shouldnot be equated with the state in this case. Lax claims in his brief to the courtI that "the University has consistentlyI fought for, and been accorded, autonomy from the legislature in both financial and other matters." He also cited the fact that state appropriations' provide only about one-fourth of the See 'U', Page 11 .... ............... . ............ .... From AP, UPI, and Reuter DETROIT -'The troubled Chrysler Corporation, in an unprecedented move, yesterday proposed that United Auto Workers (UAW) President Douglas Fraser become a member of its board of directors. The announcement came as the UAW and the financially ailing automaker reached agreement on a new three-year labor contract covering some 113,000 union workers. FRASER'S ELECTION would be the first time in American business history that a union leader has been elected.to the boardroom, although worker par- ticipation in management affairs is commonplace in Europe. Fraser told a press conference that his name would be among those recommended by the company for elec- tion to the board at Chrysler's annual meeting of stockholders in May 1980. The new contract will give the com- pany $403 million in concessions over the next two years to help keep the struggling No. three automaker afloat. THE PACT gives the union two long- sought social goals: the right to recommend investment policy for part of the pension fund, and the right to recommend investment sanctions against some firms it may designate for their Sofith Africa policies. The $403 million consists of $203 million in deferred wages and benefits and a previously announced $200 million in a one-year deferral of this year's payments to the pension fund. Chrysler has asked for 1750 million in loan guarantees from the federal government. The union's concessions will be an important selling point for tle company in arguing in Congress that the company deserves help. THE UNION already has reached agreements with Ford and GM. ."I sincerely believe that the voice Af Daily Photo by DAVID HARRIS SCOTT KELLY AND LINDA TANZINI were crowned the university's first Ilomecoming King and Queen since the early sixties last night.

Robert Slavin, representative of Korn-Ferry International, a San Fran- cisco executive search firm, met in- dividually with the nine members of the Mayor's Ad Hoc Review Committee to determine if the 21 resumes presented by the firm represented a satisfactory selection of candidates. AFTER SIX years, former city Ad- ministrator Sylvester Murray left Ann Arbor last month to become the city manager of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mayor Louis Belcher said he hopes a final decision on a new city Ad- ministrator will be reached by the end of November. The new administrator is scheduled to take office January 1. According to several citizens on the committee there were a number of very qualified applicants arpong the resumes they reviewed. Belcher said the comments of the committee and the mayor. "The panel's job was to tell us whether the general quality of the group met their expectations,' Slavin said. On November 9 a Korn-Ferry 'I hope that whoerer is hired . . is someone who (anl manage hunat relations kinds of problems, inl afl~dition to fiscal problens.' -,u11(1 Ilailev, selection panel rneiber two or three candidates will probably be open to the public, Belcher said. THE CITY administrator, who repor- ts directly to the mayor and council, supervises the budget and most fun- ctions of the city's offices and depar- tments. The candidates hired to fill the city's top administrative post will be paid between $40,000 and $50,000 a year. Applications are also being accepted in the search for a replacement for retiring police chief Walter Krasny, ac' cording to acting City Administrator Godfrey Collins. Ads have been placed in several national trade publications and the ap- plication deadline is next January 7, Collins said. A JOB PROFILE is being compiled by the members of the in-house search committee to help screen the ap- plications. Collins said he hopes the new police chief will be hired by Febraury 1.

"It would be difficult to walk away from here now. There are a lot of problems here, a lot of things that need my attention, and I am now in the process of seeing these changes through." Fleming said that he would not seek the post for the first time on Wed-, nesday, when he told an AP reporter that "I am not a candidate in any way. He made the statement while at Wisconsin's Beloit College, his alma mater, where he participated in a panel discussion on broadcasting. According to Fleming, the names of potential education secretaries are submitted by other people, and the can- didates generally are not aware that they are under consideration. The search for an education secretary, still in its first month, in- volves a slate of at least six prominent names in public education, including former Michigan State University President Clifton Wharton Jr., and television journalist Bill Moyers. There is no deadline for the appoin- tment, and no date has been set for the swearing-in of the new secretary. The newly established education department is the thirteenth cabinet post in the federal government. panel would be relayed to city council which will make the final decision. AS OF THE October 12 deadline, Korn-Ferry received about 60 ap- plications for the position, Slavin said. Using the profile formulated by council in August the firm screened the ap- plications and submitted 21 numbered resumes for review by the citizens representative will present a final report to council and discuss the can- didates, Slavin said. Belcher explained that council will narrow the field of candidates down to five or six and interview the finalists. These names will be public information and, according to the state's Open Meeting Act, the interviews of the final Fleming ...will stay at CPB "It would be terribly awkward for me to accept that position," Fleming said yesterday. As the current president of the Corporation for Public Broad- casting (CPB), Fleming said that he would feel "uncomfortable" leaving his position after just nine months. He left the University last December, finishing speech by presidential non-candidate observers were able to spy a veteran, Ted Kennedy, close.

According to one observer, . the Doc was "just sitting there, like he was an intellectual or something." Rumors immediately began to circulate about Robinson's presence: While some speculated he was gathering material for his own lecture tour, another obser-, ver who spent a number of years studying the Doctor, theorized Robinson was "front man for the uncandidate. 1 catch; in fact, this time there are two catches. First, no reservations are being accepted, so you'd better be there plenty early to get a ticket for one of the flights, the first of which leaves Saturday at 7 a.m. And secondly, you can only buy a one-way ticket. Which means that if you feel like coming back, you'd better be prepared to try your luck again or pay the airline's regular fare - $28.
