The editor in chief of the Wayne State
University student newspaper was
harnded a five-day suspension yesterday
tifor Falleged racism reflected in two
items he published, said Ann Fracassa,
The South End's managing editor.
Wayne State's board of publications
will take final action on E. Dale Lee's
. casp next Tuesday, following further
examination of the charges, editors of
the newspaper said. Action could in-
clude either firing, further suspension,
or reinstatement.
THE ALLEGATIONS against Lee
were brought to the board's attention
last month when students demanded he
be .fired following publication of what
they termed a racist editorial cartoon. -
The syndicated cartoon, captioned
"How many honkies are in this pic-
ture?" depicted five black men drib-
bling, basketballs and a white man
dressed in a Ku Klux Klan-like outfit

I really think they're
going to fire me. This
could damage my career'
-E. Dale Lee
editor in chief,
The South End
carrying a club. Lee said the cartoon
was meant to be a statement on
stereotypes. It was also published in the
Flint Journal.
Further uproar was raised Tuesday
after Lee approved a headline on a rape
story which identified the suspect as
being black.
"I HARDLY think running a headline
describing a rapist is racist," Lee said.
"I feel description of a rape suspect is
very important to our readers. Every
specific detail can be of help.,,

According to Lee, reports of dissent
against him have been exaggerated by
two student groups organizing rallies
protesting Lee's actions. He said the
"They(student organizers)' were so
embarrassed by the turn out. they
first rally in November drew fewer
than 15 students, not 75 as reported by
Detroit area newspapers.
SLeesaid last year's editor in chief
was handed a 10-day suspension
because of similar, charges of racism
for his editorial support of the Ku Klux
Klan marches in Greensboro, N.C. That
editor was black.
"I think that finally they (the
publications board) couldn't take the
heat and wimped out on us," he said.
"Even though my lawyerthinks they
have flimsy evidence, I really think
they're going to fire me on Tuesday,"
Lee said. "This could damage my
career."
Members of the board of publications
could not be reached for comment.

before'Gov. William Milliken.
Jamrich's planning commission for
higher education would be charged
during its three-year life with coor-
dinating the activities of agencies con-
cerned with colleges, gathering
pertinent information, consulting with
the governor and Legislature on a coor-
dinated approach to higher education
and, finally, submitting a plan for
cooperation and coordination in the
future.
