UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS have approved a new complaint appeal
procedure for non-union and non-faculty employes charging alleged
discrimination. The revised procedures may be used in re-examining
the case of Cheryl Clark, a University employe who claims she was
paid less than a man performing the same work.
Clark's demands for back pay were denied by the University this
summer, when she became the first woman to charge a university
with sex discrimination.

NICHOLS ARBORETUM, long a haven of student campers,
has a new night curfew.
Citing frequent complaints from area residents, the Regents
recently revised Arb hours to close-it nightly from 11:30 p.m. to 6
a.m. Quiet hours are to extend from 9:30 p.m. to the 11:30 p.m.
closing.
UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS have denied the existence
of any policy change that would allow cohabitation in the dorms,
following a brief storm of protest by concerned Regents and alumni.
The OSS Housing Policy Board in June had changed the word-
ing of the housing code and had dropped the rule against cohabita-
tion.
Statements by President Robben Fleming, Vice President for
Student Services Robert Knauss and Housing Director John Feld-
kamp emphasized that the change in wording represented no change
in generalspolicy. (See earlier story, Page 1, Front Section B).
4 A CAMPUS INDIAN GROUP has filed suit against the Univer-
sity to force action on demands for greater educational opportunities.
The American Indians Unlimited base their suit on an 1817
treaty, in which three tribes ceded land to the University in the un-
derstanding that their children would receive a chance for better
education in return.
THE UNIVERSITY CELLAR, the student-run bookstore, adopted
a no-censorship policy after controversy developed over the stocking
of controversial books.
When it was discovered that the Cellar staff was not stocking
certain books and materials which included information on ex-
plosives or which the staff considered "racist or sexist," a meeting
of the Cellar's Board of Directors was called.
40 A CHARTER AMENDMENT permitting local third parties on
the city ballot appears to have been killed by an opinion by Governor
William Milliken that it is unconstitutional.
The proposed amendment, which city council approved to be on
the city ballot, would have set up special regulations under which a
purely local party could appear on the ballot. At present, only
parties recognized statewide can appear.
TEN ACTORS arrested on indecent exposure charges in a 1969
performance of "Dionysius in '69" at the Union were acquitted in
May after a 27 month trial.
At the time, the arrests and charges by Ann Arbor police were
highly controversial-it was believed that the show had been pro-
duced to test the obscenity law.
However, the actors, who performed at times in the nude, were
instead charged with indecent exposure.
Govt. faces heightened
pressures to end war
Spurr's duties have been as-
sumed by several administrat-
ors. Political Science Prof. Don-
ald Stokes became dean of the
graduate school Aug. 1. One-
time chairman of the political
science department, Stokes has
also been program director of
the Institute for Social Re-
search's Center for Political
Studies. Stokes was selected by
a faculty-student search com-
mittee.

(Continued from Page 1)
At the same time, a search
committee, trying to replace
the out-going vice president for
student affairs (later student
services), was hindered by a
controversy over whether -t h e
new vice presidenthshould be
appointed before the by-law
was passed. And with this
stalemate, all nominated cand-
idates withdrew.
Then President R o b b e n
Fleming, in a controversial
move, went outside the com-
mittee's suggestions and chose
Knauss.
His appointment resolved
some issues as he said he would
be, bound by the board's de-
cisions, even though this was
not specifically required by the
by-law.
With Knauss' resignation,
however,' questions may again
arise on vice president selec-
tion procedures, and what the
officer's relationship to t h e
policy board will be.
wilposts
will be delegated to two chan-
cellors. Leonard Goodall, form-
er head of the University of Illi-
nois' Circle Campus in Chicago
has assumed that post at Dear-
born and William Moran, form-
er executive vice president of
the State University of New
York at Stony Brook, will head
the Flint Campus.
Besides Stokes and Rhodes,
new deans are Theodore St. An-
toine and Phillip Fellin.
St. Antoine is presently the
dean of the law school, succeed-
ing Francis Allen. The new
dean, an expert on labor law,
served as chairman of Univer-
sity Council, a student-faculty-
administrator board charged
with devising a set of rules for
the University comunity and
guiding administrators in cri-
ses.
Fellin will replace Robert
Vinter as dean of the School of
Social Work. Vinter had been
acting dean. IXI
Changes will also be made in
administrative posts. James
Brinkerhoff, vice president and
director of business operations,
will become vice president for
finance, planning, and opera-
tions at the University of Min-
nesota.
Barbara Newell, special as-
sistant to Fleming and chair-
man of the Women's Commis-
sion, will leave to become pro-
vost and economics professor at
the University of Pittsburgh.

fought in eastern Cambodia and
in the area surrounding the
DMZ.
In Cambodia, the fledgling
government of Lon Nol fought
for its life as North Vietnamese
and Cambodian rebel forces
continued to apply pressure and
harass major transportation
routes between the landlocked
capital and Cambodia's port cit-
ies.
Although they launched sev-
eral major offensives to relieve
the beleaguered government,
South Vietnamese forces were
unable to make real progress in
the country.
in early June the South Viet-
namese army was dealt a decis-
ive defeat when they were forc-
ed to abandon the strategic
town of Snoul in eastern Cam-
bodia.
The Army of the Republic
of Vietnam's (ARVN) major
problems lay in lacking the re-
sources to adequately cover the
war's myriad of battlefields.
While part of ARVN w a s
bogged down with fighting on
the country's western front in
Cambodia, North Vietnamese
forces applied heavy pressure on
the northern front near the
DMZ.
More and more experts are
questioning the president's con-
fidence in the ARVN's ability to
take over the burden of t h e
fighting, and wondering whe-
ther the American involvement
in the conflict can ever be end-
ed as long as the administra-
tion clings to the goal of pre-
serving the present regime in
the south.

Dissidents win victories from
court battles with government
(Continued from Page 3)
cause considerable financial bur-
den on its adversaries as well as
diverting their energies from
other programs.
The government, they say, by
harrassing them with continual
criminal cases, is able to keep
them constantly on the defensive;
so burdened with trial defense
that they are unable to direct
their efforts in positive ways.
Such organizations as the Black
Panther Party, for example, has
had the ranks of its leadership
decimated by criminal litigation
with its three top national lead-
ers, Bobby Seale, Huey Newton,
and Eldridge Cleaver often fac-
prosecution simultaneously.
Others, on the other hand, ar-
gue that the American judicial
system is the most progressive
element of the government. They
point to this summer's three de-
cisions as evidence that the
courts are totally fair and just.
Either way, the cases repre-
sent a reversal of prior trends
and are heavy blows to the "hard
line" legal attitudes of the pres-
ent administration.
