Brandt became president of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. He came shortly after David R. Derge had resigned under pressure, a move precipitated by SIU-C's attempt to fire 104 teachers because of a declared financial emergency.

This article, by reporter Henry de Fiebre, examines how three current and former campus leaders evaluate the Brandt administration. Monday, de Fiebre, who has covered the campus for the past year and a half, analyzes the distribution of power among Brandt's vice presidents. By Henry de Fiebre Of The Southern Illinoisan There has been an upsurge, in openness, an absence of crises, but little sense of exactly where the institution is heading during Warren W. Brandt's first year as president of Southern Illinois Uni-versity-Carbondale. So say three former and current campus leaders at SIU-C.

In interviews, one was enthusiastic in his endorsement of Brandt, one noted several pleasing aspects but reserved judgment and one said he is disappointed. Brandt came to SIU-C Dec. 1, 1974. "I can't really say he's done anything too ev to us," Douglas M. Diggle, student body president, said.

(Diggle now is Reviewing the year, Diggle observed, "His reorganization (of top administration) has done some good things for the university. It's got rid of some people that needed to be got rid of and put people in positions where they benefit the university more. "We've fared pretty well budget-wise, something we may not have been able to do had he not done his administrative shuffle." Diggle said he finds Brandt "more open" than other presidents. "That's one thing I feel that he's done." Taking more of a "wait-and-see" attitude is E. Earle Sti-bitz, a professor of English who last year headed the Faculty Senate.

"There's been a greater care in making decisions and a greater concern with dealing with points of view of different segments of the university," he said. Additionally, Stibitz said, Brandt has brought "an openness, a willingness to talk, to seek expressions of views from different segments, generally speaking, before decisions are made." And, he noted, "Mistakes have certainly been avoided." While pleased with some of what he has seen in the administration, Stibitz, a 23-year veteran of the SIU-C faculty, said, "I'm waiting to see an educational philosophy and the implementation of whatever the educational philosophy is. That is not clear to me as yet. "I'm still waiting and hopefully looking. Maybe it's still a little bit too early to see." Herbert S.

Donow, Faculty Senate chairman, commented, "I'd say I'm not terribly impressed, but I won't say I'm terribly unimpressed. I don't see anyting to be terribly excited about in terms of the caliber of leadership we've been getting." Donow is an associate professor of English and head of the Carbondale Federation of University Teachers, a group seeking collective bargaining for faculty at SIU-C. "I don't get any sense of where we're going as an institution that is clearer than a year ago," Donow said. "I think he could make a significant contribution in trying to provide that leadership." Donow "There have been no apparent crises. In that sense, circumstance have been somewhat better this year than last year." But, he said, "My own experience is pretty much business as usual.

There are still faculty members being fired or in some other way being given reason to feel aggrieved. "I'm not completely happy with the way things have been going. I guess we still really don't know what kind of leadership we're getting. "I would like to see less administration and more leadership. The president hasn't said This is what we are, this is what I'm dedicated to seeing happen here." noo roc 'VHV Ml i i ivw mm lit mm 1 ilt 1 1" ..,,..,1 hi.ivi-:.

George Wallace claimed victory in Mississippi's Democratic caucuses Saturday, outdistancing fellow Southerner Jimmy Carter and three other candidates in an early test of Southern political stength in the 1976 presidential campaign. By Saturday night about 31 per cent of approximately 3,000 county convention delegates had been chosen by the precinct caucuses. Wallace led the field in unofficial tabulation with almost 41 per cent of the delegates chosen. Another 24 per cent of those elected were uncommitted while Carter, leader of the Iowa caucuses last Monday, had 17 per cent. R.

The entry for the first time in the conflict of regular PLO troops and the movement of an estimated 3,000 others into the country from Syria tilted the balance of forces heavily against the Christian right, which had been resisting Moslem and leftist demands for a reform of Lebanon's 32-year-old sectarian political arrangement which favors the Christian minority.

"This is going to hold." In a statement issued from his Atlanta headquarters, Carter said: "To be frank, I think the Wallace organization must be credited for the job it has done. They have demonstrated an ability to compete strongly and effectively in a caucus system. This new ability indicates that Gov. Wallace will be even stronger in 1976 than some have predicted."
