Four shot

by police after
confrontation
PONTIAC (N) - Four white
high school students were re-
ported in fair condition after
being shot yesterday morning
in an apparently racial inci-
dent.
Later in the day, police dis-
persed a crowd of some 300 youths
gathered near Pontiac Central
High School. At least two persons
were arrested and six persons, in-
cluding three policemen, suffered
minor injuries in the afternoon
confrontation.
Both Pontiac Central and Pon-
tiac Northern High Schools will
be closed today.
Police Chief William Hanger
said witnesses told police the
shootings were "unprovoked" and
that the four wounded white stu-
dents were shot while they tried
to avoid a confrontation with
about 20 blacks.
Police said the four apparently

nrollment

By BOB SCHREINER
The literary college faculty yesterday called for a freezing
of the college's enrollment at its present level.
If the resolution, which was approved unanimously, is
accepted by the Regents, the number of freshmen enrolled
in the literary college each fall would be determined by the
availability of spaces in the college.
The number of students in the college at any one time
would remain static, and the number admitted would equal
and depend on the number of those leaving the college, for
whatever reason.
Current enrollment, which would become the norm for
future years if the resolution is put into effect, has not been
computed exactly as yet, but has been estimated by the Ad-

equivalent students.
An "equivalent student" is a
unit of measurement that com-
pensates for differences in course-
loads of students. The number of
credit-hours per year that deter-
mines an equivalent student un-
dergraduate is 31.
Yesterday's action was the first
major policy pronouncement on
the issue since 1965, when the
faculty adopted a plan for "con-
trolled college growth" developed
by mathematics prof. William Le-
Veque. Under the plan, freshman
enrollment was not to exceed
3,100.
Since that time, repeated efforts
have been made to keep within"
that limit, but the number of
freshmen has climbed steadily
each year to its present size of
over 4,000 students.
Other factors have contributed
to the literary, college's phenom-
enal growth. English Prof. H u g h
English, who submitted the pro-
posal, said the number of upper-
classmen who have not graduated
with their class has increased
yearly. This he attributed to draft
avoidance and the growing ten-
dency of students to take less than
full course loads.
The rapid growth has come
from other factors besides fresh-
man matriculation. The number of
transfer students from o t h e r
universities, transfer students
from other schools and colleges
within the University, and read-
mitted students who either drop
out for one term or are dropped
for academic reasons, has in-
creased each year right alongswith
the number of freshmen.
"This is the first proposal form-
ulated by the faculty that deals
with the question of how big the
college should be as a whole,"
English said. "It is not only con-
cerned with the number of fresh-
men who enroll each year, but
with every aspect of the college's
population growth."
"The present structure of the
college is not adequate for
constantly increasing growth," he
said. "I would not say that holding
down the number of admissions
will hurt the quality of education
in the college. Rather, it should
be quite the opposite."
Vice President and Dean of the
Graduate School Stephen Spurr
told the LSA faculty that placing
a limit on college enrollment was
a good idea, but added that some
problems might arise.
"Remember that we have a
commitment to enroll ethnic and
other minorities as 10 per cent of
the total class regardless of its
size," he told them.
"Since I would assume that this
10 per cent is not to be added onf

Search
groups
formed
By BOB SCHREINER
The literary college and the
social work school moved yester-
day toward the appointment of
new deans in their respective units.
The LSA faculty approved the
establishment of a search com-
mittee consisting of six faculty,
two undergraduates and one grad-
uate student, to seek out and
screen prospective candidates for
the deanship.
Earlier in the day, the social
work school faculty and Social
Work Student Union (SWSU)
reached agreement on the com-
position of a search committee to
consist of four students, five fac-
ulty members, plus a faculty
chairman. An SWSU spokesman
said the group made the agree-
ment "reluctantly."
Both schools have submitted
their search committee plans to
President Robben Fleming for ap-
proval. New deans are appointed
by Fleming, with the approval of
the Regents.
The literary college faculty spe-
cified that two of the faculty
members on their search commit-
tee should have been on campus
no more than five years, to assure
"new blood" on the panel.
After the structure of the com-
mittee had been resolved, history
Prof. Bradford Perkins proposed
that a l t h o u g h the committee
would remain a joint student-fac-
ulty effort, both faculty and stu-
dents should retain the privilege
of holding private sessions at any
time.
But the faculty decided to. leave
any decisions on the workings of
the search committee to the com-
mittee itself to resolve.
Members of the search commit-
tee will be' selected by Fleming
from two lists-one consisting of
23 faculty members and the other
made up of undergraduates and
graduates.
The method by which the stu-
dent list would be composed was
not resolved, but it was suggested
that names of students be sub-
mitted by committees appointed
by the LSA student government
and Graduate Assembly.
Acting literary college dean,
Alfred Sussman, said he hoped to
meet with student representa-
tives before the next faculty meet-

of the third man, a former union
official.
However, the action t a k e n
against the fourth employe, char-
ged with allegedly striking a
supervisor, was reduced from a
discharge to a six-month layoff
by the arbitrator. The arbitrator
said he took into account "the
heat of an unauthorized strike,
which was being fostered by the
irresponsible acts of others," and
the employe's "approximately 14
years of service with no prior dis-
cipline record" in making his de-
cision.
The case of another employe.
suspended for his part in the
strike, was submitted to arbitra-
tion, but the employe involved was
not able to appear at the original
hearing. The parties involved
agreed to hold the case pending
decisions on the other cases.
Ruling on the case of the three
employes, the arbitrator said,
"those penalties are substantial,
but they are far short of what is
often imposed by employers and
upheld by arbitrators in compar-
able unauthorized strike situations.
In the opinion of the arbitrator,
the penalties here under consider-
ation were not excessive and
should stand"

CONSTITUTIONALITY

Disorders unlike

Daily News Analysis
Despite an increasing barrage of federal
and state legislation designed to penalize
student disrupters by cutting off their
financial aid, the likelihood of such cut-
offs remains slim.
University officials appear anxious to
avoid circumstances where the laws cut-
ting aid might apply and eager to show
technicalities to prove they don't.
Most recently, amendments a d d e d to
both state and federal educational appro-
priations bills stipulate that governmental
aid going to students involved in university
disruptions must be revoked. These sta-

The state amendment governing scholar-
ships and grants states that such funds
are to be revoked if the recipient is con-
victed of "disorderly conduct, violence to
a person or damage to property while dis-
rupting campus activities or if university
officials determine he has violated college
rules or regulations while participating in
a campus disorder." In the most recent
federal amendment, grounds for revoca-
tion applied to anyone involved in "the use
of force or the threat of force or the
seizure of the institution's property," or
any type of disruption.
