Officials laud Fleming at testimonial BY BRIAN BLANCHARD A storm kept away two scheduled speakers and two regents, and an unex- pected meeting with the Pope in Santo Domingo absented the governor. But that didn't stop the final tribute last night to 11-year University President Robben Fleming and his wife, Sally, from producing the fit-to- be-carved-in-granite praise called for by the occasion. With constant reference to Fleming's cool handling of "the turbulent sixties" as well as his careful budgeting and eye for quality during current financial problems, the speakers at the banquet in the League Ballroom told a group of close to 400 what they thought best about Fleming's approach to Univer- sity management. THE EX-WRESIDENT and his wife returned to Ann Arbor for the banquet from their new Washington, D.C. home. Fleming is now president of the Cor- poration for Public Broadcasting in Washington. Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) read a prepared speech from Gov. William Milliken praising Fleming's ability to lead calm debate and en- courage quality in education. "The excellence of the University is a reflection of the quality of your leader- ship," the governor had written. Detroit Recorders Court Judge Geraldine Ford, a University student herself during the 1940s, said she felt Fleming "helped to open doors" to students from all sections of society. THE UNIVERSITY, when he arrived, "was thought of by-and-large as an institution solely for the education of the intellectually elite," she said, but Fleming helped make it today "an en- " Daily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG Up the down staircase This empty, winding staircase at the Michigan Union should soon be crowded The University Regents voted last week to turn over Union control to the Office of Student Services. with University students as they begin to enjoy their new studentc PARTICIPANTS DISCUSS 'U'S NEEDS: center. i ew attend search panelforum Fleming terprising developer of human respur- ces." Elitism was the topic Fleming him- self addressed in his remarks to the faculty members, University ad- ministrators, and local politicians who paid $15 apiece for the meal and speeches. Fleming stuck to generalities in his talk, avoiding-the specifics of Univer- sity policy, preferring to speak of "quality" and "excellence." HE SAID THAT since the University has chosen to provide "high quality education,' it has been charged with elitism. But why isn't that word applied' to coaches who pick the finest athletes See FLEMING, Page 7 By LEONARD BERNSTEIN A tiny group of students gathered last night to conduct a wide-ranging discussion of the University's needs as partlof the selection process of the next University president. The 11 people who attended the student presdiential search commit- tee's open forum barely outnumbered the seven committee members present. Among the few who turned up were City Councilman Ken Latta (D-First Ward), Political Science professor David Singer, and Michigan Student Assem- bly (MSA) member Joseph Pelava. THE THREE dominated discussion before a largely passive student audience which sought more infor- mation than it offered. Presidential search committee members said they were disappointed at the small turnout. Committee mem- ber Carolyn Rosenberg noted that bad weather and little publicity may have kept students away, but acknowledged student apathy towards the selection process. "Face it, the assignment that's due tomorrow is more important than a president who may not be a president until they've graduated," Rosenberg said. 'Committee member Bridget Scholl stressed the search panel had received private suggestions from a number of people. She said, the group would also send letters to student organizations requesting more advice on the Univer- sity's needs. THOSE WHO did attend the meeting heard a varied discussion centering on the type of person the committee should Belcher 0 " Fed cuts won't hurt A2 By ELISA ISAACSON Despite President Carter's proposed 1980 budget, which trims funds for social services, jobs, and other urban assistance programs, Ann Arbor officials say they are not greatly concerned with the local impact of the proposal. Carter's plan includes a cutback nationwide of some 7,000 jobs in the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) program. Mayor Louis Belcher said the president's budget cuts "probably won't have a large effect on the city at all, since Ann Arbor traditionally hasn't used federal programs to a great extent." He added, however, that under the new guidelines, the city would not be able to supplement the salaries of CETA employees to the extent it has previously. BELCHER, CITY ADMINISTRATOR Sylvester Murray, and local CETA coordinators will be meeting during the next few weeks to determine the exact effect of the cuts on the city's programs. Yesterday, Murray pointed out what he said were three drawbacks in the new CETA regulations. With the reduction in the amount of money the city is allowed to give an employee, Ann Arbor will no longer be able to hire CETA workers for such positions as police officer. Another factor reducing the pool of potential CETA em- ployees wpuld be the proposed rule that workers must be both on welfare and unemployed. The proposed guidelines also See BELCHER, Page 7 recommend as permanent successor to Robben Fleming. Singer offered a strategy of deter- mining the type of president the com- mittee would not want, in order to "head off some potential catastrophes." Singer said the student advisory group should reject a president who would be only "a business manager" and one "who wants to make the University even more of a service station for American industry."

Khameini had planned to end his 14- year exile and return to Tehran from Paris tomorrow to begin efforts to replace the Bakhtiar government with an Islamic republic, his aides in France said Wednesday. THE GOVERNMENT source, who asked not to be identified, said the need for special security for Khomeini's arrival and protection here led Bakhtiar to suggest that he delay his arrival for at least three weeks. The source said several million Iranians could be expected to greet Khomeini, who led the uprising that drove Shah Mohammad Reva Pahlavi from the country, upon his arrival in Tehran. "The crowd alone would have been too dangerous and too difficult to handle," he said. It was early morning in Paris and miliary order. Observers saw the move as an effort to bar Khomeini's return. However, Gen. Mehdi Rhimi, Tehran's military governor, made no mention of Khomeini in his announcement shutting down the airports, according to a Tehran Radio broadcast monitored in London. RHIMI SAID the closures were or- dered because of strikes by flight con- trol workers, according to Tehran Radio. Rhimi also was quoted as saying the three-day closure was ordered because of the "failure" of certain companies to operate flights. Companies named in the broadcast were the German and French airlines, Lufthansa and'Air France. ONE POSSIBLE explanation for the short-lived airport closure was that Prime Minister Shapur Bakhtiar was attempting to squeeze some form of compromise out of the ayatullah, who Connally enters race for Republican nomination WASHINGTON (AP) - With a platform emphasizing budget cutting, free enterprise and a strong defense, Jnhn Connllv vesterdav entered the administration," Connally said he has faith the American people will accept the innocent verdict in his Watergate- -..nnor M ahnc-. io r
