...week of exceptional effort. For the third time in four weeks, TIME'S West Coast correspondents found themselves in the middle of a major unexpected news story (the others: Lynette Fromme, Patty Hearst). Under the overall coordination of Los Angeles Bureau Chief Jess Cook, San Francisco Correspondent John Austin talked with local FBI and police sources and also interviewed the only FBI informant to have successfully infiltrated the Weather underground for our story on the California underground. Roland Flamini assembled a portrait of Sara Jane ("Sally") Moore. Christopher Ogden, who was close enough to the shooting...
...Francisco area resident who is the only FBI informant known to have successfully penetrated the Weather Underground. Although his experiences took place from November 1969 until April 1970, law officials believe that they still accurately reflect underground life in California and elsewhere. Last week TIME Correspondent John Austin interviewed Grathwohl. His report...
Lorene Rogers, a biochemist and former professor of nutrition, is an unlikely center of campus controversy. Yet last week Rogers-quiet, petite and slender at 61-was indeed the focus of protest at the University of Texas at Austin, as many of the faculty and students demanded her resignation. They did not particularly object to her academic qualifications or her performance as an educator; after all, she has been on campus for 26 years, including stints as associate graduate dean and vice president. Rather, the campus anger was directed at the board of regents, which had ignored the candidates offered...
Professor Rogers, a widow, had been interim president ever since the regents last fall abruptly fired Stephen Spurr, a former graduate dean at the University of Michigan (TIME, Oct. 28). But few on the 42,000-student Austin campus thought she would take over the job permanently. In fact, when the regents started searching for a new president, they agreed to work with a twelve-member student-faculty search committee. The committee screened 300 candidates and finally came up with five finalists; it specifically rejected Professor Rogers on four separate votes. Nevertheless, soon after the start of classes this fall...
After the appointment, 700 of Austin's 1,700 faculty members attended an emergency meeting; they overwhelmingly approved a motion asking Lorene Rogers to resign and protesting that a person "found wanting" by the student-faculty committee "should not be thrust upon it." The Austin chapter of the American Association of University Professors called the appointment "a profoundly ill-considered, arbitrary and ugly action." The faculty senate voted not to participate in any university council meetings while Rogers is in office...
