EMU
By TAMMY JACOBS
Three Eastern Michigan Uni-
versity professors who say they
were not rehired because of
their political activities, were
granted $38,000 by the EMU
Regents in an out-of-court set-
tlement of a suit filed against
EMU President Harold Spon-
berg and the Regents.
The settlement also stipulated
that the EMU administration
remove all "political" materials
from the plaintiff's files, and
write favorable letters of re-,
commendation for the three
professors.
However, Larry Hochman, as-
sociate professor of physics; Ri-
chard Sroges, associate profes-
sor of psychology; and David
Cahill, assistant professor of
political science, will not be re-
instated at EMU.
Among the materials in the
plaintiff's files that they called
a "violation of their first
amendment rights" were: infor-
mation about Cahill's connec-
tion with the Second Coming,
an Ypsilanti underground news-
paper; copies of a petition sign-
ed by Sroges in support of Dr.
Benjamin Spock and a student's
record clipped with a note to
watch the student's connection
with Sroges' political activities:

and materials relating to Hoch-
man's 1968 vice-presidential
candidacy on the New Politics
Party ticket, which ran Eld-
ridge for President.
The suit had been on trial in
Detroit since Aug. 11 in the
U.S. District Court of Judge Da-
mon Keith in Detroit; and it
appeared likely that it would
continue another five or jix
weeks. Recognizing this, Keith
asked both parties to try to
settle out of court.
Sponberg, who voted for the
settlement, said he believed the
continued trial would cost more
money than EMU was willing
to pay and that the adminis-
trators who were being called
to testify were needed on the
campus rather than in the
court.
Cahill said that the case cost
EMU "over $100,000."
According to Hochman, EMU
agreed to settle after the plain-
tiff's attorney, George Newman,
played a tape to EMU's attor-
neys which was suppoosedly
made when Sponberg called a
WAAM radio reporter after an
April, 1970 broadcast.
Acocrding to a written state-
ment by Hochman, "the con-
versation followed the report-
ing of a news item that three
EMU faculty had filed suit to
get the Regents to hold their
meetings in a larger room.
Sroges was party to the pre-
vious suit and was alsoa
in suit
plaintiff in the present law suit.
"The tape reveals President
Sponberg to be a man opposed
to the major tenets of a demo-
cracy and to be a man utterly
unfit to be the 'intellectual lea-
der' of this or any other uni-
versity," Hochman's statement
continued.
At that point, Hochman said,
EMU's attorney offered a set-
tlement because he "realized
how disastrous it would be for
the tape to be put in evidence."
Cahill also mentioned the
on
tape as "part of the reason
they settled," and added that
"we think it (the settlement)
was a hell of a victory. It's been
the first time EMU has had to
pay for something like this."
Sponberg refused to comment
on the allegations made by the
plaintiffs concerning the tape,
or on any other part of the
case.
Hochman called the settle-
ment "an unprecedented ad-
vance for academic freedom
and civil liberties," but added
