Sc aturday, August 3, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Issues few in gubernatorial race By CHERYL PILATE One of the state's most powerful union leaders aptly summed up the choice facing voters in Tuesday's primary con- test between Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls Jerome Cavanagh and Sander Levin when he said, "Let's face it, these guys are philosophical peas in a pod. They don't disagree on anything" Both Levin and Cavanagh have run relatively low key campaigns. There have been no mud-slinging debates and the two have chosen to level the major- ity of their attacks at the Milliken ad- ministration rather than at each other. Also, they both have promised to sup- port the winner of the primary. JAMES WELLS, the third candidate vying for the gubernatorial nomination, is politically far to the right of his op- ponents and has little chance of captur- ing more than five per cent of the vote. Because -Levin and Cavanagh agree on nearly every major issue, the race .is shaping up as a contest between per- sonalities and both candidates are plac- ing heavy emphasis on their past ex- perience. Cavanagh, mayor of Detroit for eight years until 1970, believes he is best qualified to be the state's next governor because of his "leadership ability and determination." CHARGING that Levin has never mounted significant opposition to Repub- lican policies, Cavanagh asserts that only he can mount a formidable chal- lenge to Governor Milliken's candidacy in the November elections. Hailed as a "wonder boy" when he was first elected mayor of Detroit, Cav- anagh's image has since been tainted by an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Sen- ate in 1966 and charges that he main- tained underworld contacts while stilt in office. Last month, these allegations were brougLht up once more when Louis Rome, former head of the Michigan Crime Commission charged that Cavanagh was "unfit to be governor" because of his alleged contact with the sinderworld, in particular Vito and Anthony Giacalone. Cavanagh responded by filinIg $15 mil- lion libel, slander, and conspiracy suit against Rome and Dtenocratic National Comsmitteeman Neil Staebler, who Cav- anagh alleges aided in the "smear campaign." Also, his second term as mayor ended See SIMILARITIES, Page 10 Presidential backers favor censure over impeachment Krishna boogie A handful of Hare Krishna members entertain passers-by near the Diag yesterday.

Committee narrows list o LSA deanship candidates WASIIINGTON (UPI) - vRepihlicaoi opposing President Ni,:on's impeachment yesterdny proposed an nttvr-itite of cen suring hiim for "negligentce ind malad- ministration" while Iermittting himi to remain in office. Rep. Paul Findley, ( Itt),t introduced the censure resolution in the Iouse While Rep. Delbert Latta, (R-Ohio), circulated a petition urging the Rules Committee to iermit a vote on the motion as an option to impenichment at the close of the louse debate later this month. AITHOUGI promoters of the effort acknowledged they h id little chance of prevailing, they said they felt it offered a choice to troubled mueimbers. And they gained the signature of Itouse Republi- can Ioeader Jshn Riodes on the petition. Rhodes is thought by soimie members to be leaning toward imieaclihment. He is scheduled to atnntunce his position slsinday. A censure motion would have no legal effect on th Stiresident, but would fore close iipeaclhulment and a Seuate trial. As an expression o' Itouse sentiment it could, perhaps, hamper Nixon's effec- tiveness as President for the remaining two andi a half vears of his terma. FINDLEY'S RESOl.TION cited Nix on's 'great achievements in foreign poli cy," but continued: ". . . Richard M. Nixon, in his con- duct of the office of the President . . . has shown insensitivity to the moral de- mands, lofty purposes and ideals of the high office which he holds in trust, and has, through negligence, failed to pre- vent his close subordinates and agents from committing acts of grave miscon- duct, obstruction and impairment of jus tire, abuse and undue concentration of power, and contravention of the laws goverising agencies of the executive branch." Rep. Harold Foechlich of Wisconsin, one of seven House Judiciary Committee Republicans supporting impeachment, refused to sign Latta's petition. He pointed to Findley's resolution and said, ."If those things don't justify impeach- ment, what does?" LATTA'S PETITION would ask the Rules Committee to allow a motion in the House to send the three articles of impeachment back to the Judiciary Committee with instructions to substi- tute a censure resolution. Latta is a member of both committees. That suggestion was made during a meeting of the Rules Committee with House leaders and top-ranking Judiciary Committee members Thursday, but most were said to feel the motion would not be allowed. Asked yesterday about his feelings, Speaker Carl Albert who was present at Thursday's meeting, said: "it's not ma- terial to the issue. I would not recom- mend it. I would, however, leave it up to the Judiciary and Rules Committee to decide, but it is not germane." By DELLA DIPIETRO The literary college (LS&A) Deanship Advisory Committee has taken its first step toward choosing the final names which will be submitted to President Robben Fleming as candidates for the vacant post. The committee, which is comprised of :hree students and seven faculty mem- bers, has eliminated 75 names of the 140 candidates originally considered. Of the 65 remaining, 36 are now under ac- tive study, and while more information is still being sought for the other 29. ACCORDING TO chemistry Prof. Michael Morris, a committee member, the candidates come from all over the country and assembling information about candidates who do not work or know anyone here is difficult. His state- ment apparently refers to the 29 can- didates for whom they lack sufficient information. The committee has drawn up a list of 11-criteria for the new dean, including classroom experience, at least an undei- standing-or preferrably some experience -in academic research, and successful administrative experience. An excellent health is a must says Chairman Arthur Burks, a professor of computers and communication sciences, "The dean must be pretty tough to handle the job." APPARENTLY, too, the committee is seeking an academic Kissinger. They want a "diplomat" who has "a wide breadth of interest among different sub- jects." Also candidates should possess an "awareness and sensitivity to problems of minorities and women." When asked if this meant they would prefer a woman or minority dean, Burks replied, "Ob- viously everything else being equal, we would prefer them." Non-tangible criteria include such characteristics as a person who has respect of faculty and students and one who has a strong commitment to under- graduate education and a clear view of the overall purpose of the college. Burks admits, though, that these attributes are difficult to firmly determine. FINALLY, the committee is seeking someone who "will initiate communica- tions with students and not wait for the students to come to him/her," Burks asserted. Committee members Otto Graf, head of honors counselling, and Diane Kirk- patrick, associate history of art profes- sor, did not view any of the official criterion as more important than the others. However Morris said, "I want someone who has a strong commitment to undergraduate education in all areas." Morris defined the average candidate as a senior faculty member who is cur- rently involved in teaching and has served at least one term as department chair, or as acting or assistant dean." The next step, Morris said, is for everyone on the committee to pick IS names, and then attempt to consolidate a list of about a dozen to present to Fleming. They plan to have this selection done by the end of September. The list will then be returned to the committee for trimming to about three to six names. From there Fleming and the Regents will make the final decision.
