Vice President for Student

denied a report in S c i e n c e
Magazine that claims the Uni-
versity is soliciting support
from other universities to re-
sist compliance with demands
set forth by the Department
of Health, Education and Wel-
fare (HEW).
HEW's demands for more equit-
able employment of women at the
University have not been of fic-
ially released by the University.
However, Science claimed that
the administration has circulated;
copies of the demands to other
universities to gather support for
resisting the order.
At Mondaynight's meeting of

that "to his knowledge" this has

HEW officials are currently
completing a response to the "af-
firmative action" plan submitted
last month by the University in an
effort to comply with HEW's de-
mands for more equitable employ-
ment of women at the University.
Although a spokesman for HEW'

By DAVE CHUDWIN
President Robben Fleming is among a group of 23 indi-
viduals being considered to succeed Nathan Pusey as president
of Harvard University, according to the Harvard Crimson, the
university's student newspaper.
A copywrighted story in today's issue of the Crimson
states that Fleming's name remained on the list of nominees
after a search committee composed of members of the Har-
vard Corporation-the university's governing body-recently
pared a list of 69 nominees to the smaller group. The new
president will be chosen by about Feb. 1.
Commenting yesterday on his inclusion on the list of 23
candidates, Fleming said, "I am perfectly happy here and

Four persons, including the vice chancellor of the Oregon
state education system, were inside the building but esc.aped

The investigating officers said the bomb went off out-
side a ground-level window of Johnson Hall, where the offices
of the university president and the State System of Higher
Education are located.
Police said they had no immed-

In a telephone interview lastl
night, literary college Assistant
Dean James Shaw,echairman of
the LSA administrative board,
said he believed that the student
members of the hearing board do
not necessarily have to be ap-
pointed by the LSA student gov-
ernment. If students could be ob-
tained by other means to serve on
the judicial board, the hearing
could conceivably proceed, he said.

He declined comment, however,
when asked whether he would
consider the post if offered to him.
Fleming said he had not been
contacted by anyone from Har-
vard and added that he has "no
information on this at all."
Noting that he has never been
associated with Harvard, Fleming
pointed out that the governing
boards of Ivy League schools such
as Harvard have a tradition of
choosing people with past or pres-
ent connections to their own uni-
versities to serve as their presi-
dents.
Pusey announced last February
he would resign as Harvard's chief
executive and the search commit-
tee was established to find a suc-
cessor. The group combed through
over 900 nominations for the job
before cutting the list of candi-
dates to 69 at the beginning of
November..
Besides Fleming, that list in-
cluded economics Prof. Gardner
Ackley and Roger Heyns, chan-
cellor of the Berkeley campus of
the University of California who
recently announced he would re-
sign that post to return here as
a faculty member.
However, Ackley and Heyns'
were not included among the
final group of 23 people, 20 of
whom are from the original list of
69 candidates and three of whom
the search committee subsequently
added.

About 500 of the demonstrators

From Wire Service Reports
NEW YORK - Five former military in-
telligence agents charged on a television
program last night that the Army has
some 1000 'plain clothesmen gathering in-
formation on anti-war groups, civil rights
organizations and elected public officials.
The five agents, appearing 'on NBC's
"First Tuesday," are just a few of an un-
disclosed number of former intelligence
men who charge the Army with building
up what amounts to a "secret police"
to, spy with,
One of the allegations made by the form-
er agents was that the Army often gathers
information about public officials.
David Johnson, a former intelligence
agent and now a student at a West Coast
college, said, "The (Army's) files contain
the names of various high officials with-
in the United States government," in-
cluding senators, representatives and oth-
er officials who had spoken out against
the Vietnam war.
Johnson also said he' was ordered to

Another agent said he was ordered to at-
tend a speech by King's wife, Coretta King,
only a few weeks after her husband's
assassination.
During the speech in Atlanta, King re-
ferred to her husband's famous "I have a
dream" speech and said she felt the dream
would come true. The agent said he re-
ported this to his headquarters, and was
told by a captain there "to go back and
