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: V M BARBERS Keep Your Image Get a SHAG MICHIGAN UNION Downtown's only import house come get acquainted Bring your Student I.D. for 15% saving HOURS: Monday to Friday 10-8 P.M.

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 job WAGE DISPUTE Oakland' . professors strike iContinued from Page 1) ministration offered earlier this3 week to resort to fact-finding by a mediator from the Michigan Employment Relations Commis- sion.
