In its recent meeting, the Montana Board of University Regents voted to defer any action until April on the dispute between President L. O. Brockmann of Northern Montana College and his executive advisory committee. This action followed a long disCUSSiOll which began when Dr. Brockman gave his report. Debate centered around whether the Board of Regents should accept Dr. Brockmann's report as final or whether it should send its own investigating committee. Favoring sending such a committee were Gov. T1m Babcock and Dr. Gordon Doering of Helena. Opposed to this action was George Lund of Reserve, Dr. Earl Hall of Great Falls, and Miss Miller. "I'm. very much dissatisfied with investigating committees," Lund said. "The lines are already drawn." "I'm opposed to sending an investigating committee when I don't know what I'm investigating" said Miss Miller. . ' Dr. Brockmann's Northern Execu~ive ~ommittee informally charged him WIth the following: weak leaderahip, lowering of academic standards, hiring poor quaJity faculty replacements, inequitable distrdbution of faculty raises, and' impairing faculty morale. "We do not wish to make formal charges," said Wilson, spokesman for the executive committee. "We had been in hopes a meeting with Dr. Brockman would solve the matter. Weare concerned about the school and its standards of education. Results are what we are interested in, not words or personalities."
