Faculty fired ,during Red scare may be reinstated BY CHERYL WISTROM The University chapter of the American Association of University Professors is currently working to- ward honorary reinstatements of *Mark Nickerson and Chandler Davis - former faculty members fired for refusing to testify before a subcom- mittee of the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1954. "Reinstater.ent is a new issue that is just emerging," said Prof. James Miller, President of the Uni- versity's AAUP. "We are now gath- ering information about what was done at other Universities that went through similar experiences." Temple University, Reed Col- lege; and the University of Vermont are among the colleges which have given honorary degrees to professors- who were purged during the Mc- Carthy era. Prof. Mark Nickerson, who is professor emeritus of pharmacology at McGill University, said an hen- orary reinstatement "would be as good a recognition as could happen," but "the decision to remove Hatcher's name from the graduate li brary, to me, wquld mean more than being reinstted." Rackham Student Government proposed a resolution last fall to re- name the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library because of the former Uni- versity president's role in the faculty Weprimands. In 1954, Hatcher rec- ommended to the University's Board of Regents that Davis and Nickerson be fired.
