2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 26, 1996 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- m I uI T-SHIRTS PRINTING * LOWEST PRICES HIGHEST QUA LITY!

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." s P as SO I Y O Qadidafi pledges $1B mnaid to Famtkhan 1 11 NATIONNAL ,"",....-PORIF '4mow 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 also called for cre- ation ofa separate fight aga black state in te United States with fortress its own army us e manned by black 1 e soldiers from the e U.S. armedforces, we found JANA said. to enter "Our con fron- tation with fortress i America was like a fight against a Confront fortress from out- 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 U fi a 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 America.Theirre- 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."
