THE BATTALION Page 6 College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 29, 1969 Faculty Votes To Impeach UT Regent AUSTIN <A>) — The general faculty of the University of Tex as at Austin Tuesday night vot ed to ask the legislature to im peach Frank C. Erwin Jr. if he refused to resign as chairman of the UT board of regents. But Erwin replied he has no intention of resigning his post. The vote was 242 to 197 out of a total general faculty mem bership of 1,450. The faculty approved the reso lution by a show of hands after debating the measure only five minutes. Erwin said he “sincerely re gretted” the faculty action, tak en by what he called less than 30 percent of the general faculty with less than 20 per cent of them approving the request. The faculty resolution, offered by six teachers, calls on Erwin to resign both as chairman and as a member of the board of regents. “In the event that he refuses, we call upon the House of Rep resentatives of the Texas Leg islature to institute impeach ment procedures against him at the earliest possible opportuni ty,” the resolution said. UT-Austin President Norman Hackerman, who presides over general faculty meetings, said, “It is my opinion that Mr. Er win has indeed contributed to the well-being of the university.” The resolution said Erwin “has evidenced an inability to under stand the basic concepts of aca demic freedom, a desire to inter fere in the internal workings of the university, a flair for mak ing public statements of an in flammatory and insulting nature on controversial matters . . . and has acted in a cavalier fashion as regards the explicitly stated responsibilities and regulations governing the office of chairman of the board of regents.” Erwin’s actions, the resolution said, “make it ever more difficult for the University of Texas at Austin to continue its good rec ord of reasonable and responsi ble interaction among adminis trators, faculty and students in these troubled times.” Erwin said of the resolution, “. . . my answer to that small minority is the same I have al ways made to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). I was not appointed by them, and I have no intention whatever of resigning as a result of demands that they make. “I am persuaded that the peo ple of Texas are sick and tired of paying taxes to support this kind of conduct on the part of both the faculty and students,” Erwin said. Erwin was state Democratic party chairman when former Gov.
