this meeting cooke and eck ert met with lewis and provost arthur humphrey to discuss a list consisting of six men and five women that had been compiled from surveys given to senior class members last semester according to cooke lewis decided a few of the original choices were not via ble and he and humphrey suggested speakers they thought would be approp riate for the university's commence ment . among ihe names added by lewis and humphrey were hannah gray presi dent of the university of chicago reg gie jones chairman of the board at general electric and joseph palladino director of the nuclear regulatory commission richard nixon and jane fonda were two choices vetoed by lewis cookesaid lewis said no to nixon because he does not want anyone to feel the univer sity supports what he did during his administration cooke said fonda was unacceptable because i_ewis does not approve of her anti attitudes cooke said other choices were discarded because lewis did not feel they were worthy of an honorary degree after meeting with lewis and humph rey and adding their suggestions to the original list cooke and eckert then met with officers of the class of 82 and together narrowed the list down to one consisting of four men and four women the list in order of speaker prefer ence was presented to i_ewis who will work on contacting the individuals none of the names on the final list can be made public until a speakerischosen cooke said because the list is numbered and we do not particularly want the speaker we are contacting to know he was our fifth or sixth choice if we have to go down that far on our list the original list was headed by alan alda followed by such personalities as jeorge bush gerald ford erma bom beck jane byrne nancy reagan and betty ford this list has since been revised and may include all or none of these names it is likely that the university will get one of the speakers on the current list cooke said the president is going to start asking from the top of the list he will use any contacts that he has with the top choice or he will call the number one choice personally cooke said , it may be some time before the univer sity knows who the speaker is it all depends on how quickly the person asked replies he said lewis cannot contact another choice until he hears a yes or a no from the person originally asked hopefully individuals will respond promptly he said see sovikts page 2 vacation because of the thanksgiv ing vacation the next issue of the brown and white will be on friday dec 4 the semester's last issue will appear on
