By Keith Ayers Post-Herald Correspondent AUBURN The student senate Auburn University last night tabled a resolution to put a confidence vote on AU President Hanly Funderburk on the spring dent election ballot.

The senate, which voted 33-1 last week ask Funderburk to resign, was generally supportive of putting the referendum on April 7 election ballot, but several members said they wanted another week to consider the wording of the proposal and get reactions from constituents. The two-part referendum was proposed by Ken Guin, who represents students living off campus. Former Anniston ANNISTON Former Mayor Claude Dear has filed a $100,000 claim against the city of Anniston charging malicious prosecution. Dear, who owns the Midway Pawn Shop in Anniston, was arrested last September and charged with receiving stolen property. Anniston police said Dear was charged because one of his employees accepted for pawn a television set that had been rented from Colortyme TV Rentals of Anniston.

Dear was found innocent last October by Calhoun County District Judge Woodrow Albea. Dear claimed the charge was "politically motivated." City officials can either pay Dear's claim or reject it, which would allow him to proceed with a suit against the city. Dear was mayor of Anniston from 1962 to 1969.
