Thursday, September 9, 1971, THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Thursday, September 9, '1971 THE MiCHIGAN DAILY Administrators .change Several top University posi- tions will see changes this fall. In addition to Vice President for Student Services Robert Knauss' resignation, and the appointment of LSA Dean Frank Rhodes, changes will in- volve two other vice presidents, two deans, and two high level administrators. A. Geoffrey Norman, vice- president for research, has reached 65, retirement age for executive officers, and will be- come director of the Institute for Environmental Quality Jan- uary 1. Vice President and Dean of the graduate school Stephen Spurr left in July to become president of the University of Texas, Austin campus. er news briefs (Continued from Page 1) 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. Spurr's job of heading the Flint and Dearborn campuses Knauss set to leave OSS post (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.

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. ,'1 # ?
