Regents

may name

interim president

By MARTHA SEVETSON
Even if the University's Board of Regents find a
successor to President Harold Shapiro by the time he
leaves on Jan. 1, it might be months before the new
president takes office, University officials said.
The regents are expected to appoint an interim
president at either this week's board meeting or in
October, according to Marjorie Levy, dean of the
School of Art.
The regents had hoped that one candidate would
emerge early in the search fora replacement, Levy said.
"Since the time has passed when the lightning bolt
would have struck, they are now looking at naming an

interim president."
Levy expects the regents to appoint former
University President Robben Fleming, who currently
teaches in the Law School.
"You pick someone who can walk in, who knows
and understands the University, and can mind the
store," she said. "There has been speculation that the
person will be a former president, such as Fleming."
Harris McClamroch, an aerospace engineering
professor and chair of the Senate Advisory Committee
on University Affairs, said the interim president will be
selected to keep administrative programs moving, but
the job will be primarily a "ceremonial position."

"It will not be anyone who would create their own
agenda," McClamroch said. "Fleming is certainly a
name I've heard on a number of lips, but I suspect
there are others. I don't know if he would be willing to
do this."
Fleming is out of the country and was not available
for comment.
Education Prof. Charles Lehmann, a former
SACUA member, said the slow progress of the search
has driven the need for an interim appointment.,
"They've really barely gotten started," he said.
The student, faculty, and alumni advisory

committees have developed a list of needs at the
University in the coming decade, and the regents are
expected to draw up a formal list of criteria at their
meeting this week.
The search has stayed on schedule to this point, but
most University officials say the January deadline was
never a practical expectation.
"I think everybody recognized that it was unlikely
the search would move quickly enough for so.meone to
be selected and ready to assume office Jan. 1," said
Robin Jacoby, an aide to Shapiro.

'U' expands
computer sale
this 'year

By RYAN TUTAK
In an effort to increase computer
use, the University has contracted
with three major computer
manufacturers to provide products to
students and staff for about 50
percent of the retail prices.
Representatives from Apple
Computers, IBM, and Zenith Data
Systems were at the Michigan
Union Ballroom yesterday for the
"Computer Kickoff '87 Hands-On
Day" to display their models and to
answer any questions.
Last year, only Apple participated
in the program.
Bart Patterson, field engineer for

Zenith, said the large number of
sales prompted his company to
participate. "The volume of sales is
unbelievable," he said.
THE UNIVERSITY, in turn,
furthers its goal of working
computers into campus life. "To
have a complete education is to
understand information technology,"
said Gregg Weiss, microcomputer
sales manager for the University and
coordinator of the sale. "If the
University could afford it, they
would give everyone a computer.
That's how important they think it
is. They do the next best thing - to

Koch to head
dlelegation to
Nicaragua
By ANDREW MILLS
New York Mayor Edward Koch revealed last night
that he would head a delegation of New York civic
leaders to Nicaragaua to work on achieving peace in
Central America. Koch pledged his full support for the
Costa Rican peace plan.
The plan, proposed by Costa Rican President Arias
and supported by five Central American nations, calls
for an end to hostilities in Nicaragua by Nov. 7.
Koch described the peace plan as "one of the critical
initiatives of our time," and criticized both President
Ronald Reagan's solution to the conflict - increased
military aid to the Contras - and those who say the
United States should simply stay out of the region.
"In my opinion, not only does the Arias peace plan
make sense, it may be the only hope of breaking the
stalemate between the left and the right," Koch said.
K OC H was asked to participate in this effort by
former Virginia Governor Chuck Robb. Robb, who is
