Beginning Feb. 1, Abel will preside over a faculty embittered by more than a year's debate over a successor to Edward Barrett, the former dean. Barrett resigned after the turbulent student disorders of 1968, protesting "authoritarian rule by remote, inaccessible powers" at the university. He left behind a faculty factioned between traditional and innovative journalism. When a largely conservative search committee proposed Abel for the deanship last June, rebellious professors overwhelmingly voted it down, citing "lack of consultation" and "undue haste in appointing a man we know little about."

Patton, a former Fantus vice president, suggests that Fantus thinks it can boost its business by persuading companies to relocate. Outside opinion tends to support Yaseen.
