MetroState LANSING STATE JOURNAL Wednesday, April 3, 1985 Presidential search narrows GOIP wary of Ryan's court candidacy KALAMAZOO (AP) a search committee has named five educators as final candidates for the presidency of Western Michigan University, a spokeswoman for the Kalamazoo school said Tuesday. One of, the five will succeed President John T. Bernhard, 64, who will retire June 30 from the post he has held since 1974, said Ruth Stevens, Western Michigan director of news services. Bern-hard intends to return to teaching following his retirement, she said. The finalists, according to Stevens, are George E.

Ayers, 4fcV president of Chicago State University; Diether H. Haenicke, 49, vice president and provost at Ohio State Carol C. Harter, 43, vice president for administration at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio; Jerome B. Komisar, 48, provost at the' State University of New York at Albany; and Alexander F. Schilt, 44, chancellor of the Univer- sity of Houston's downtown cam- -pus.

The 17-member search committee met Monday night and harrowed the field of finalists from eight to five, Stevens said. The panel will conduct further inter-, views at a later date, she said. The head of the search committee, meanwhile, expressed concern that some of the candidates might withdraw their names after they were identified in Tuesday's edition of the Kalamazoo Gazette. "Although we are very excited -about the strong experience and personal traits, of these five candidates, I am deeply disappointed and very concerned, about the premature release of their names," Trustee Charles H. Ludlow, said in a statement The names of Guy, U.S.

District Judge Phillip Pratt and former U.S. Sen. Robert Griffin of Traverse City were submitted last year to the U.S. Justice Department by U.S. Rep.

Broomfield, R-Birmingham and Michigan Republicans in Congress. Griffin ran for a Michigan Supreme Court seat in November but lost to Democrat Patricia Boyle, who was appointed by Blanchard. RYAN'S NAME was suggested to the Justice Department later by Republican activist John Gnau and oth-' ers. Ryan, of Detroit, said although no one has told him directly that they are actively campaigning against his appointment, "I've been told by sources that that's exactly what's occurring. But thafs hearsay." "Our position is we submitted three names and two names are still there," Broomfield aide Jack Sincr lair said from Washington on Tuesday.

Bill McBride, executive assistant to U.S. Rep. Carl Pursell, R-Plym-outh, said there was no organized effort in the Michigan GOP congressional delegation to keep Ryan from seeking the appointment. But he added: "I'm sure that was in the back of people's minds. From a Republican point of view, it's very important that the court be kept in Republican control.

"The Justice Department itself is very aware of what the situation in Michigan is on the Supreme Court" because of U.S. Attorney General Edward Meese's familiarity with a similar situation in California, home state of Reagan, added McBride. BUT RYAN said, "It is an illusion to presume justices represent any partisan political persuasion." By JEFF MAYERS Associoted Press Writer The candidacy of Michigan Supreme Court Justice James Ryan for a vacant U.S. Appeals Court seat concerns some Michigan Republicans, who worry that Ryan's promotion would dissolve a partisan balance on the state's highest court. "I regret that for reasons that appear to be purely partisan, I have not gained the enthusiastic support of some people" in the Republican Party, Ryan said Tuesday.

State Supreme Court including incumbent justices, run for election after being nominated by political parties. THE HIGH court now has three Republicans, three Democrats and an independent. Ryan, up for re-election next year, ran last time as a Republican. If President Reagan were to ar I Justice James Ryan pomi Kyan to tne 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Democratic Gov.

James Blanchard would have the opportunity to pick his own candidate to till Ryan's slot on the seven-member Michigan bench and possiDiy influence future court decisions on the partisan issue of redraw ing legislative boundary lines. "The Republican Party waged a very aggressive campaign for Su preme court positions," said GOP activist Paul Gadola of Flint, who stressed he was not speaking for the state party. "It would be logical to not want to negate that wipe out mat gain, it a legitimate concern. THE GOP gained parity on the court in January when Dorothy Corn-stock Riley took the seat she won in November from incumbent Thomas Giles Kavanagh. Until recently, there were two vacancies open at the federal appeals court level to Michigan Republicans, Last week, Reagan appointed U.S.

(LMtenj( yljnjy CCUL1 CJUVC District Judge Ralph Guy to one of tne openings. Michigan Republicans contend the second vacancy also should be filled with someone from the state, but Michigan GOP Chair spencer Abraham said that not College Graduates The following students are de gree candidates: Michigan State University Alma Glenn.
