Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, September 10, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Fri September 10,1971 Rebec Fleming, -9 splIt opini By TAMMY JACOBS About 2,000 freshmen received their first taste of the divergent+ viewpoints in the University com- munity Tuesday night at the an- nual Presidents' Welcome in Hill Aud. B o t h Student Government+ Council President Rebecca Schenk and University President Robben, Fleming gave rather typical pre- sentations in addresses which traditionally mark the end of freshman orientation. Schenk, like past SGC presi- dents, commented on a multitude of specific political issues, speak- ing from a radical point of view. Fleming, as in past welcomes, declined to discuss politics and followed Schenk's indictment of the Administration with a speech describing opportunities he be- lieves freshmen "should take ad- vantage of" in their years at the University. At times nervous, at times sar- castic, Schenk gave the campus left's viewpoints on a variety of political issues. She was especially critical of the University's methods of de- ciding how much funds should be allocated to each of the Univer- sity's programs- Noting that these budgetary decisions are currently made by Fleming, his six vice presidents and the Regents, Schenk sal 'd, "the community of the Univer- sity has no control over the dis- positions of money in the Uni- versity. And money is policy." Schenk also criticized Fleming for choosing. his vice presidents with a minimum of student and faculty input. "These men are dealing every day with students and faculty. It seems logical that the people they deal with should have a voice in their appointments." ca Schenk welcomes freshmen Schenk offer typical ions in Hill welcome Prisoners stage riot in Attica ATTICA, N.Y. (P) - About 1,- 000 convicts rioted at Attica state prison yesterday, pitting fists and makeshift clubs against guns and tear gas for control of the maxi- mum security institutions. Thirty- three guards were reported taken hostage. Several others were in- jured. Late in the day, State Correc- tions Commissioner Russell 0. Oswald went before the inmates in a prison yard attempt to end the revolt. Oswald's confrontation was said by an aide to have had a calming effect on the rioters. At an earlier point, state po- lice stormed into the prison and recaptured three of four inmate- held cellblocks. The convicts set fire to the chapel, carpentry shop and other areas. "The place is blowing up," a guard was quoted as telling a wo- man clerical employe being evacu- ated from the prison at the height of the riot. In late afternoon, the rioters launched a counterattack in an effort to retake the cellblocks from officers. The police used gas masks, a submachine gun, a rifle with a telescopic sight, and gre- nade launchers to dispel the rio- ters. The fate of the captive guards was a crucial factor as the battle surged back and forth. At one point, the police said, three of the hostages, pillow cases covering their heads, were paraded past cellblock windows. The inmates made threatening gestures toward them, as a warning to onlookers. A Wednesday night attack on a guard which landed a prisoner in solitary confinement, was be- lieved to have triggered the riot. At the outset it involved an esti- mated 500 of Attica's 2,254 in- mates, with others joining in la- ter. , .

Schenk ended with a summary of her advice to freshmen: "Each one of you is an IBM card and if you do not fit into the proper slot you will be bent, spindled and mutilated. This is the way it is at present. It need not be so in the future." In contrast, Fleming touched on many of the themes he has stressed since he became Presi- dent of the University in 1968. Although he said he would not comment on political issues, he urged freshman to be aware of what he called the "tragedy of turbulence," in which, he said, political activists "have denied to others the right to give their points of view." He refused to answer directly any of Schenk's charges, but he promised to debate the issues at any dormitory which issues him an invitation. "I will answer any questions - no holds barred," he said. "Then you'll have the op- portunity to hear more than just one side." Fleming has often made such promises and has several times in the past spoken at dorms to which he has been invited. The president also touched on a theme that has perhaps be- come his trademark. He warned the freshmen to be, aware that "the University had many con- stituencies - not all of which are students." Commenting that students don't pay the full cost of their educa- tion, he said "students have lost sight of the fact that you can- not totally alienate the public and yet ask it to support you." He added, "For many of you it is your first real go at com- plete independence, but your families are after ' all support- ing you." "To them," he said, "you owe the obligation to take advantage" of the opportunities offered by the University. "We know perfectly well that some of you will make unwise decisions, because the whole his- tory of the University shows it. But most of you will make wise decisions." He added. "When you look back you will say that these were among the happiest years of your life. But only you can make them that way."
