SEARCH
Continued from Page 1
Machen said. "I would hope that we
would not get any lawsuits."
The Ann Arbor News and Detroit
Free Press sued the University follow-
ing the 1987-88 search that led to the
selection of James J. Duderstadt. The
case continued through the courts and
the state Supreme Court in 1993 ruled
that the regents had violated the Open
Meetings Act during the search.
Although the board approved the plan
presented yesterday, not all the regents
supported it.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor)
abstained from voting. Baker said he
did not vote because of his opposition
to the Open Meetings Act, which he
says conflicts with the "constitutional
autonomy" granted to the regents in the
state's constitution.
"I don't think you can talk about
electing a president without talking
about autonomy," Baker said.
"The regents are substantially inhib-
ited by the Open Meetings Act," he
said.
Regent Andrea Fisher Newman (R-
Ann Arbor) said she was concerned
that Baker may not follow the proce-
dures outlined in the plan.
But Baker said he will obey the law.
"Your assumption is not correct," he
told Newman during the meeting. "I
intend to cooperate with it. I am sur-

prised you made it such an issue."
Othermembers ofthe board said they
would have liked Baker to vote with the
board to show support for the search
plan.
Baker countered, "I think support is
shown because I didn't vote against it."
According to the timetable approved
by the regents:
The board will vote on members of
an advisory committee in February, af-
ter Machen recommends specific
people.
After the regents present the com-
mittee with a list of qualities they want
in the next president, the board will
have no contact with the committee.
The committee will meet in aclosed
session with a search consulting firm
- Russell Reynolds Associates Inc. of
New York - to recruit and interview
candidates.
In September, the advisory com-
mittee will give the regents a list of all
the names mentioned during the search
- along with the list of recommenda-
tions. At this time, all the names will be
made public. The regents will make
their own list of finalists, based on the
recommendations, and then interview
the candidates.
"We are very sure we can complete it
by October 1996," Machen said.
Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle
Creek), a co-chair of the presidential
search committee, defended the search
process, saying it would help protect
the candidates' reputations at their cur-
rent job.
"Just because a person's name is on
the list doesn't mean that they were
ever considered," McFee said. "It does
not mean they have any interest in pur-
suing it at all."
Lowenstein said the search plan will
not provide any real insight into how
the decisions were reached.
"All we will have are names," she
said. "That doesn't seem to me to be a
very open process."
Meanwhile, MSA president Flint
Wainess said he has received many
requests from students who would like
to serve on the advisory committee.
"I think they should be students who
have been around fora couple of years,"
Wainess said. "Students who have a
vision for this institution."

The Washington Post
CAIRO, Egypt - Libyan leader
Moammar Qaddafi said yesterday that
he and Nation of Islam leader Louis
Farrakhan have agreed to work together
to influence U.S. elections and foreign
policy, building on apledge to spend SI
billion on Muslim causes in the United
States.
Qaddafi's remarks were quoted by
the official Libyan news agency, JANA,
after a meeting
Tuesday in Libya
between Qaddafi 6
and Farrakhan, a " our
leading advocate
of black separat- tation wi
ism in the United
States. Qaddafi America

side, and today we - M o
found a breach to
enter into this for-
tress and confront
it," JANA quoted Qaddafi as saying of
his discussions with Farrakhan. "On
this basis, we agreed with Louis
Farrakhan and his delegation to mobi-
lize in a legal and legitimate form the
oppressed minorities, and at their fore-
front the blacks, Arabs, Muslims and
red Indians, for they play an important
role in American political life and have
a weight in the U.S. elections."
The Libyan leader has been branded
a pariah in the West and in some parts of
m

fi

a
a
the Arab world for his alleged role in
sponsoring international terrorism. He
long has cast himself as a champion of
oppressed and Third World people and
has funded revolutionary groups rang-
ing from factions in neighboring Chad
to the Irish Republican Army.
At the same time, Qaddafi is known
for exaggerated and at times hallucina-
tory statements, such as his proposal
last year that his son marry President
Clinton's daugh-
ter, Chelsea, to
patch up differ-
nfron= ences between the
United States and
h Libya.
This is not the
eas like a first meeting be-
tween Qaddafi and
rst a Farrakhan, nor the
first time Qaddafi
om has discussed a
black army fight-
Y$S ing for the op-
a breac pressed in

to this lationship goes
back at least to
nd 1985, when
Qaddafi loaned
t Farrakhan $5 mil-
lion for various
mmar Qaddafi business projects
Libyan leader associated with the
Nation of Islam.
That same year,
at a Chicago convention, Qaddafi told
Nation of Islam adherents via satellite
that he wanted to help black Americans
in an armed struggle to overthrow op-
pression. According to the Nation of
Islam newspaper, the Final Call,
Farrakhan decided to thank Qaddafi but
to "politely reject his offer for arms."
There were no reports yesterday of a
response by Farrakhan to Qaddafi's lat-
est proposal, and calls to the Nation of
Islam and his spokesperson in Chicago
were not answered.
Farrakhan's religious following in
the United States is not known, but
religious scholars estimate it at 20,000
regular mosque-goers. His status as a
black leader was enhanced last Oct. 16
when hundreds of thousands of black
men heeded his call to participate in the
Million Man March on Washington. He
has drawn criticism for his statements
attacking whites and Jews.
Farrakhan was quoted by JANA as
saying: "I am happy with the results of
this meeting in order to unify Arabs,
Muslims, blacks and persecuted groups
in America to play a strong role not only
in the American elections but also in
U.S. foreign policy."
The agency did not quote him referring
to the proposal for a separate black state.
Ex-regulator gives Whitewater account
WASHINGTON- Arkansas' former chief savings and loan regulator gave the
Senate Whitewater committee yesterday a different version from Hillary Rodham
Clinton's sworn statement about a 1985 telephone conversation on a proposed
stock offering for an ailing thrift owned by the Clintons' Whitewater partner.
Beverly Bassett Schaffer, who then-Gov. Bill Clinton appointed to the post a
few months earlier, testified that in the five-minute call Mrs. Clinton said '"
they had a proposal and what it was about." Schaffer said she replied thats
agreed with her position and would soon be sending her a letter saying so.
Mrs. Clinton's Rose Law Firm had just been hired to represent Madison
Guarantee Savings & Loan. James McDougal, the Clintons' partner in the
Whitewater venture and owner of the thrift, has said he hired the Rose firm at Bill
Clinton's urgings.
Madison never made the preferred stock offering and later failed at a cost to
taxpayers of more than $60 million.
After Schaffer's description of the call, Michael Chertoff, the committee's chief
majority counsel, noted that Mrs. Clinton had said in sworn answers to the
Resolution Trust Corp. that "I may have made one telephone call to the Arkans
Securities Department to find out to whom Mr. (Richard) Massey should dir
any inquiries regarding an S&L matter. I do not remember to whom I spoke."
