Student could get -p - . .--msa
empty Regent seat r
By BILL TURQUE
A new law allowing the gover-
tor to make student appoint-
ients to controlling boards of
educational institutions presents
the very real possibility that a
student could be chosen to
succeed University Regent Law-
rence L i n d e m e r (R-Stock-
bridge).

Board on June 1 to fill a va-
camcy on the State Supreme
Court,
WIIIE IN Ann Arbor last
ii, Governor William Milli-
k'n said he was "in no way dis-
couraged" by the State Senate's
r tection of Thomas Korpi, his
student nominee to the Mich-
igan 'Technological University
(MTU) Board of Control.
Korpi's nomination was turn-
ed back by the Senate in a 22-11
s-te on May 15, amid charges
he lacked sufficient maturity
for the job. The governor's ap-
pointment to the- University
Board of Regents would not be
subject to Senate approval.
While Milliken said he had
nat yet given serious considera-
tion to a successor for Linde-
mer, he indicated he would cer-
tainly consider student appoint-
ments for such positions.
A SPOKESMAN for the gov-
ernor said the list of prospec-
tive appointees w a s "quite
lengthy, more than a dozen
names." He added that "it is
certainly within the realm of
possibility that there are stu-
dents on the list"
Korpi's nomination to MTU's
Board of Control had rough go-
ing through the Senate because
of h i s threatened reprisals
against the editor of the school's
paper, Stephen R o t h. Roth
wrote a series of editorials op-
posing Korpi's nomination.
Roth said yesterday he op-
posed Korpi's nomination be-
cause of his questionable record
as an officer of MTU's student
government, and because his
major qualification seemed to
be that he "was a buddy of the
governor's.'
ROTH DESCRIBED Korpi as
a "solid Rep'tblican" who had
worked for Milliken's re-election
last fall.
According to Roth, Korpi was
displeased with the lack of pub-
lic support the school's news-
paper, "The Tech Lode," was
giving to his nomination.
"Ile catse into our offices one
day and asked me if I wanted
to graduate," said Roth. "I
thought he was joking, but then
I realized he was serious."
ROTH SAID Korpi also issued
a press release onstudent gov-
ernment stationary announcing
procedings were underway for
Roth's recall as editor of The
Lode, something which Roth
called "a bunch of hogwash."
Korpi was unavailable for com-
ment last night.
Roth added that Korpi has
attempted to link him with a
number of questionable activi-
ties, including alleged incidents
of firebombing, which Roth in-
sists are complete fiction.
"I'm really gong-ho about a
s t u d e n t appointment to our
board," said Roth. "But Korpi
was just a bad number, and to
appoint him would have been a
mistake,"
ROTH SAYS he thinks the
University is in an ideal posi-
tion to have a student regent,
because the potential for public
pressure on the governor's of-
fice is greater.
"You guys are a little closer
to the action down there," said
Roth, a business major at the
5,000 student institution -near
Marquette.
