Miles takes'California job
Albert S. Miles, for three years
the Vice President of Student Affairs at CMU, has resigned effective
July 1 to accept a job at the
University of California at Riverside
as vice-chancellor of student affairs.
Miles appointment was confirmed last week by the University
of California's Board of Regents. ,
Previous to joining the
University in late 1970, Miles had
served as assistant dean of students
at Cornell and as dean of students at
Seton Hall University.
Under Mile's, leadership, the
stucture and function of the Student
Affairs Division has been modified to
reinforce educational programming of the college and to give
student organizations more
responsibility for their own activities. He was active in setting up
the current student judicial system
and in revamping housing programs
and regulations. He introduced
lifestyle changes and additional
educational programs in the dormitories.
If is office ,is, responsible for
housing programs* judicial matters,
veterans   affairs,   minority   group
programs,   foreign   student ' ad-
'visement, counseling center, student
volunteer   service   programs   and
financial aid.
A Native of Washington, D.C.,
Miles received his bachelor's degree
at Duke University in 1962, and then
interrupted his education to teach
literature and humanities in Nigeria
as a Peace Corp volunteer. He
returned to his studies in 1964 and
received his master's at Columbia
University in 1966, and then his Ph.-.
D. in counseling and behavioral
studies at Cornell in 1969.
Miles cited some of the accomplishments of his office, including the establishment of an
educational skills center, veteran's
affairs program, Chicanos Organized
for Progress and Action (COPA), the
setting up of VIEW machines in
dorms and other locations, designing
of the first "behavioral contract" in
Michigan, Central's first Black
History Week, and the advent of
open forums between students and
administrators.
He is certain he will be replaced
in his position at Centfal, but doesn't
know who his successor might be, or
if his title will remain the same.
"I enjoyed my time here," he
said. "I learned alot, made many
memorable friends, gained a positive
feeling about the people at CMU, and
feel good things Will continue to
happen here in student affairs.
"I'll miss the people here immensely," he added. ".I'm moving
mainly because I enjoy a challenge,
and I feel Riverside offers me that
opportunity. It's time I move on."
Riverside is part of the
University of California system and
has an enrollment of almost 6,000
students, nearly 20 percent of whom
are enrolled in master's and doctoral
programs.
Agreement near in
bargaining dispute?
Indications are that a settlement between faculty and administrators over a three month
bargaining dispute is nearing
rapidly.
None of the persons involved in
. recent meetings of the two groups
would make any comments concerning issues discussed during a
session yesterday morning or about
the topic of today's 9 a.m. conference, but three indicated they
were hopeful the result would be a
dropping of charges on -both sides
against one another and an out-of-
court settling of the disagreements.
Alexander J. Zawacki,
president of the Faculty Association,
(FA) reported the association held a
meeting Tuesday evening, prior to
yesterday's meeting with administration representatives,
Zawacki said Wednesday's
meeting   went   "quite   well,"   and
added he expects a joint announcement of the conference
results will be issued following
today's meeting.
Neil Bucklew, vice provost for'
administration, termed the conversations "pretty productive." He
said there was a good chance
"litagation will be set aside."
President William B. Boyd's
impression "is that steady progress
is being made."
Difficulties between the two
groups began as far. back as
February when Central filed suit
against the association over
bargaining disagreements.
Several different court steps
were taken after the initial suit was
filed, including a return suit against
the University filed in the name of
the FA and Michigan Employment
Relations Commission (MERC).
FCC hearing possibility
By Loretta Pizzo
Editor-in-Chief
No further developments in the
filing of petitions by television
stations 5 (Bay City) and 6 (Lansing)
against Central's radio station
WCMU-FM have occurred, according to William Grigaliunas,
director of public broadcasting:
Grigaliunas indicated a meeting
between lawyers for the two sides
and the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) may take place
tomorrow, bnt added, "it may be the
FCC will just issue an opinion in the
matter and that will be it."
He said there possibly w6uld be
a meeting of'representatives for the
television and radio stations, or a
hearing with the FCC,* although he
termed -those events "only
possibilities."
The two television station's filed
petitions with the FCC asking that
the radio station's recently approved
allocation be "set aside." Gross
Telecasting, Inc. (Channel 6)
spokesmen indicated grounds for
filing petitions are interference with
its local reception, caused by WCMU-FM.        *   *
' Grigaliunas expressed confusion
over the petitions saying he didn't
understand why the two stations
were filing now, after the allocation
had been mtfde, rather than
beforehand when FCC regulations
require broadcasting companies
advertise their intention of seeking
grants. The specific purpose of the ;
regulation, he said, is to provide
anyone objecting to the allocation an
opportunity to speak out.
He indicated his confusion
saying, "They're acting as if we just
applied for the license, but we did
that a couple of years ago." He added
they are "about two years too late."
He speculated the stations may
be attempting to set a preceding by
filing against WCMU-FM because!
they may plan to file petitions
against the Eastern Michigan
University radio station at a later
date. / '
Eastern is expected to request
permission soon for increased power.
"Eastern is closer to Lansing
than, we are,, and Grose might be
concerned about interference from
them," Grigaliunas added.

Academic-Senate
ok's procedures proposal
Following a move to set aside
>the agenda, A-Senate last week
spent two hours discussing,
amending, and finally passing a
proposed procedure for selecting
search committee members and
outlined responsibilities of those
members.
Drafted by Robert E. Kohrman,
chemistry, the procedure deals with
methods of        determining
replacements for key administrators. Search committees
interview and rate candidates for job
openings. The committee then
makes a recommendation to the
Board of Trustees, which has the
final say in selecting new personnel.
Other agenda items included a
confirmation of John Yantis as
permanent head of the Institute for
Personal and Career Development, a
motion thanking John Schmidt for
acting as chairman of A-Senate, and
a brief message .from President
William B. Boyd.
Terry . Taft, 21, Douglas Edgar,
Shepherd^ sophomore and McNeil.
Police say McNeil died when he was
gagged with an article of clothing
containing chloroform.
No trial date has been set for
Howard G. Ingle, 22, Grand Rapids
or Gregory M. Yost, 21, Lakeland.
Both suspects stood mute at their
arraignments last week.
Both were charged with first
degree muder under the felony
murder doctrine and conspiracy to
commit armed robbery.
Daniel E. Manville, 25, Flint and
his brother Jack pleaded guilty to
involuntary manslaughter and are
awaiting sentencing June 4. The
charge of involuntary manslaughter
carries a maximum sentence of 15
years,
William J. Romwalter, 23,
Haslett pleaded guilty May 15 to
possession of heroin. He will be
sentenced June 18.
Manville testified he had four
conversations with Yost which
concerned an alleged robbery of
Howard Ingle's apartment. Douglas
Edgar, one of the three men
assaulted on December 9, was the
prime suspect in the alleged Ingle
robbery. 7     .,
Manville testified that he, his
brother Jack and Gary Knop went to
Edgar's apartment to get back the
money and drugs taken from Ingle's
apartment.
Prosecuting Attorney Robert
Kennett. contends that Yost had
knowledge of a deal to get the money
and drugs back from Edgar through
the use of scare tactics.
