Jewel Plummer Cobb, a cell physiologist who presently is dean of Connecticut College, was selected to replacet Frye after Academic Affairs Vice President Frank RhodesI gave the Regents a final list oft three deanship candidates.- While Cobb had not yet been' reached for comment, The Daily learned of the selection from$ several high-level administra-; tion sources. One official term- the likeliest choice to take the permanent position. Frye, who had earlier indicated he would have to do "a great deal of thinking" before accepting such an offer, said last night he has heard nothing yet from the Re- gents. But the selection appeared certain. One administrator dis- closed, "It's a woman" - and the other two final candidates are men. They are Frye and David Danelski, the ombuds- man at Cornell University. Da- nelski had not been reached for comment at this writing.

ONE OF the cutback's cats came out of the bag Friday night. A highly-placed Univer- sity source told The Daily that the innovative Pilot Program was "fairly likely" to disband this year thanks to the LSA bud- get squeeze. The source put Pilot's chances of survival at two in three, and noted grimly: "The program is considered very accessible, you might say expendable, as a place to make the big cut."

Rhodes would not comment. All week long, department heads came before the adminis- tration's ad hoc budget review committee and tried to describe how bad off they would be in the event of cuts ranging from two to four per cent. LSA Dean Billy Frye Thursday announced a freeze on all new faculty hir- ing in the Literary College. What with a lack of detailed i uuDS: wnie refusing to commit himself on the pos- sibility of personnel lay- offs, he told the Regents a four per cent budget cut is "very likely." much sleep last week - affirm- ed that discontinuation of Pilot is a "distinct possibility" that hinges on two factors. While stressing that his own strong desire to keep the pro- gram, Frye said a decision to cut a full four per cent from the LSA budget - plus a failure to find other money sources- would spell doom for Pilot. Students and administrators in the program, which is hous- ed in Alice Lloyd Hall, were shocked. Last night, the dorm scheduled a meeting of present and former program members next Thursday to consider pos- sible mass action aimed at pre- venting Pilot's death. Petition drives and letter - writing cam- paigns began almost instantly. Pilot director Dick Munson, agreed with other LSA officials that some members of the col- lege's Executive Comimittee might seize a chance to end the the progressive - minded pro- gram. And Munson reported that in Alice Lloyd's dining rooms, the murmur of discon- tent over the economic situa- tion has quickly risen to a roar. -DAN BIDDLE DR.
