AAUP t regents in By CHRIS PARKS A report by a special commit- tee of the American Association of University Professors charges the Regents of the University of California (UC) with violating academic freedom by dismissing black militant Angela Davis from the UC faculty. Davis was denied rehiring as a professor at the UCLA's philo- sophy department in June 1970 after making speeches allegedly "antithetical to the protection of academic freedom". Professor R i c h a r d Brandt, chairman of the philosophy de- partment at the University was part of the two man team which investigated the firing. The findings of the as yet un- published report, were first re- vealed in an article by William Trombley in the June -3 edition of the Los Angeles Times. The story reported the study as concluding that the regents neglected to examine complete-' ly Davis' qualifications as a Davis ease teacher, and based their deci- sion on four public speeches she made between October 1969 and February 1970. Although Brandt termed the story "premature', and criticized certain inaccuracies, he conceded it was correct in reporting the commission had found violations of academic freedom in the fir- ing. While declining comment on the report's specific details, Brandt did say he felt it would, when released, present a "new position for the AAUP on aca- demic freedom". While the report doesn't recom mend any course for the AAUP to follow, Brandt says it is likely to influence the national commit- tee of AAUP to action.

The high ,command reported he a v y Soviet - made 122mm rockets hit Prey Bang, Kom- pong Chamland, Lompong Am- pil and Vihear Suor, all of them villages in the Vihear Suor marshes a dozen-miles or so east of Phnom Penh. Hand-to-hand fighting raged for the second straight day. The fighting was at such close quar- ters, that Cambodian artillery- men often had to hold their fire to avoid hitting their comrades. Refugees from the heavy fighting fled across the Mekong River east of Phnom Penh. Wit- nesses said mortar shells wvere landing close to the sampans ferrying them across. Despite the intense fire, Capt. Chhang Song, a high command spokesman, said the Cambodian army was able to pull out most of the 100 killed or wounded who fell Tuesday in heavy fighting near Prey Thom, This village is in the center of the marshes 12 miles northeast of Phnom Penh. Chhang Song quoted an offi- cer as estimating 201 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong were killed in the battle at Prey Thom. He said a body count on a part of the battlefield showed 85 enemy bodies. To the rear in northeastern Cambodia, U.S. B52 Stratofor- tresses raided supply lines and storage depots in an attempt to cut off supplies to the com- munist forces menacing Phnom Penh. Fighting for control-of the Vihear Suor marshes has been underway for nearly two weeks but has intensified in the past two days. Tuesday's battle was one of the fiercest in the "ear- old Canibodian conflict. -Associated Press A SHERIDAN TANK makes its way through rough terrain at Duy Xuyen, South Vietnam, yesterday where it is operating as part of Bravo troop cavalry, the Americal Division. LETTER TO FLEMING Abortion advertising, cal-led unlaw ful here By ROSE SUE BERSTEIN The vice - chairman of the State H o u s e Appropriations committee wrote last March to all state college and university presidents, including President Robben Fleming, requesting that they "advise the advertising de- partments" of their c a m p u s newspapers that advertising for abortion referral services is illegal in Michigan. Aging Conference ended-not dead By BETH OBERFELDER "I would like to replace a conference on aging with a conference of the aging, then at least we could find out directly from old people what their needs are and act on them-it just isn't enough to gather a cross section of big shots," said Northville State Hospital's director of activity therapy, Bernie Plummer yesterday at the conclusion of the 24th annual Con- ference on Aging held at the University. His feelings were shared Py many of the nearly 800 dele- gates to the conference this week. "It seems to me that by 1971 we should know the problems which exist, but we're still talking about research, not action," says another delegate. Just five months before the White House Conference on Aging, which many delegates who were present this week in Ann Arbor will attend, a variety of ideas, theories and com- plaints about the nation's attitudes towards the elderly were aired this week. Those present at the conference were eager to learn to care for old people and create a more "Humane Environment" for them.s Yet due to the mixture of professions and interests at the meeting, the plenary speakers tended to sound "redundant," "repetitious," and "afraid to offend anybody." Mildred Krasnow, a delegate from New Jersey, noticed a lack of students. She thought they stood to gain most from the verbal discourse which was basic to understanding the aged, Many of the delegates complained of the long plenary See AGING, Page 10 "The law provides a fine and imprisonment for all newspapers who accept this kind of adver- tisement," Rep. Dominick Jaco- betti warned. He also asked that the presi- dents report to him "oit what action has been taken . . . to correct this illegal practice." President FI1em ing referred Jacobetti's letter to law Prof. L. Hart Wright, chairman of the Board for Student Publications. Last month, amid controversy over the legitimate operation of the commercial abortion referral agencies and following the re- ceipt of Jacobetti's letter, The Daily decided to accept no fur- ther advertising for abortion re- ferral. At that time, Vice President for Finance Louis Profit of East- ern Michigan University (EMU) ordered the Eastern Echo, the campus newspaper at EMU, to stop running abortion advertis- ing. In addition, both the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press -the state's two largest news- papers-have decided to discon- tinue such advertising. Section 750,34 of the state criminal code, to which Jaco- betti referred, states that any- one advertising "any means whatever w h e r e b y abortion (may bet produced, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, pun- ishable by imprisonment in the county jail not more than one year or by a fine of not more than $500." In response to Jacobetti, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan (ACLU) wrote him and to the colleges and univer- sities, commenting that the ACLU found nothing illegal about advertising "medical serv- ices legally available in a sister state." --Saay-earye vmad SPEAKERS AND LISTENERS at this weeks conference on the aged. . . i - . .
