The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, December 1, 1987- Page3 F11 New chancellor named to head UM-Dearborn Regents expect fast approval By KAREN GREENSTEIN Blenda Wilson, a Colorado state education official, has been nomi- nated to replace retiring Chancellor William Jenkins at the University's Dearborn campus. Her five-year term will begin July 1 if she is confirmed by the Board of Regents. The nomination will "most defi- nitely be approved" at the board meeting this month, said Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline). "She is a super choice. She has a very excellent background in educa- tion administration and will do a good job at Dearborn," Roach said. Presently, Wilson is the execu- tive director of the Colorado Com- mission on Higher Education. She is also executive director of the Col- orado state Department of Higher Education, and is consequently a cabinet officer in the Colorado gov- ernor's office. "Her experience with the Col- orado executive board of education makes her well qualified for the position," said Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor). In a press release last week, Uni- versity President Harold Shapiro said, "We look forward to the leader- ship she will provide for the Dear- born campus." Wilson received her undergraduate degree in English and Secondary Ed- ucation at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pa. She earned a Mas- ter's Degree in Education-Remedia- tion and Learning Disabilities at Se- ton Hall University before receiving a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration and Organization Studies at Boston College in 1979. Wilson was successfully recruited to become associate dean for admin- istration at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education in Washington praised -Associated Press The Rev. B.

State senator pleads guilty to drug charges LANSING (AP) - State Sen. Basil Brown, whose volatile temper and drinking problems have made headlines in the past, pleaded guilty yesterday to a pair of felony drug charges. Brown, the senior member of the Michigan Senate, saved his claim of entrapment for a possible appeal, and an attorney for Brown said he's also studying other grounds for an appeal. In a 10-minute hearing before Ingham County Circuit Judge James Kallman, Brown pleaded guilty to one charge of delivering a small amount of cocaine and a second charge of delivering a small amount of marijuana, both felonies. Two other drug charges against him were dropped. Ingham County Prosecutor Don- ald Martin said the cocaine charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. The marijuana charge carries a max- imum penalty of four years in prison and a $2,000 fine, he said. Meanwhile, shocked by Brown's guilty pleas, legislative leaders said yesterday they haven't decided whe- ther they will try to remove the 31- year veteran from office. The Michigan Constitution gives either chamber the right to discipline or expel members by a two-thirds vote, without spelling out when such action should take place. The Highland Park Democrat's decision, after a two-year battle to get the case thrown out, caught many in the Senate by surprise. "No expulsion vote is scheduled. This is a matter that-is still properly in the judicial realm," said Guy Gordon, a spokesperson for majority Republicans in the state Senate. "The Senate's legal counsel is closely examining all the chamber's constitutional, legal, and ethical res- ponsibilities should the matter come before the Senate. Fortunately, this is a very unusual circumstance." "It hit a lot of people by sur- prise," said Senate Minority Floor Leader Mitch Irwin, D-Sault Ste. Marie. "Everybody in the Senate is certainly concerned, both for the fu- ture of Basil Brown and the future of the integrity of the Senate. It's not an issue to be taken lightly," Irwin said. "The question of whether or not he could be ousted is a political question," said Sen. John Kelly, D- Detroit. Police continue investigation of .alleged assaults at CIA protest By STEVE KNOPPER The Ann Arbor Police Department has conducted six interviews thus far in its investigation of two alleged assaults at last Wednesday's demonstration against recruitment by the Central Intelligence Agency in the Student Activities Building, said Lieut. John Atkinson yesterday. Police will conduct interviews all week, and will * file a report to the City Attorney by the end of the week, Atkinson said. He refused to say who has been interviewed. The six interviews already conducted all concerned the alleged assault of Harold Marcuse, a Rackham graduate student, said Ann Arbor Police Capt. Robert Conn. Marcuse said he was kicked in the groin after demonstrators forced their way into the Office of Career Planning and Placement during the protest. Witnesses later told the police the alleged assailant was Robert Patrick, an assistant director of the University's Department of Public Safety. Marcuse did not see who kicked him and said Wednesday that he plans to press assault charges once the identity of his attacker is established. Leo Heatley, director of the Department of Public Safety, refused to comment on the allegations, except to say his department was cooperating with the police. Ann Arbor Detective Douglas Barbour also told police Wednesday that Marcuse assaulted him during the protest. The two incidents are unrelated. Stock prices NEW YORK (AP) - Stock prices plunged yesterday in heavy, nervous trading reminiscent of the days surrounding the Oct. 19 market collapse, as the Dow Jones industrial average suffered its eighth biggest point decline ever. Traders said the market was react- ing to a variety of factors, including the dollar's rout on overseas ex- changes and higher commodity I prices - both of which renewed fears of higher inflation and worries about the huge national budget deficit.

H LIS Whats happening in Ann Arbor today Foreign language study grows more popular at 'U' (Continued from Page 1) "There seems to be a general decline in the Germanic languages," said Germanic Languages Chair Robert Kyes. But he noted that enrollment in upper level classes has remained steady. "It's difficult to know why... as enrollment goes down, the upper level stays the same. Maybe more students are coming into the University prepared, to place into upper levels." Many educators have attributed growing economic trade and educational reform to the rise in the number of students taking foreign languages. Prof. Thomas Kavanagh, chair of the Romance Languages department believes "part of the reason is a need for Americans to understand other languages and cultures. Unlike Americans, a great deal of people in the other countries know more than one language. "We're changing the way we teach on the college level in the language and literature departments. We try to make it clear to the students that studying a foreign language acts as a tool in order to advance in the market place." Baxter agreed, "People used to thing that we could do international business in English because of the dominance in the past by the U.S. economy. Now it's not enough to know just one language. Many more nations are becoming competitive." Speakers Joan Silber- visiting writers series, 4 p.m. Rackham east conference room.
