SOCCER CLUB MASS MEETING our first Bra Slip Countmued from Page 1I In any case, "we don't want to :lose down," says Melton. But says Lighthammer: "If Campus comes to an agreement with the people who want to lease it. Mark's will have to move.,, Since Mark's decked out its black awning with its incon- spicuous scrawl in February 1968, thousands of different people have made it a home. whether for a 103 minute's cup of espresso or a daily love affair-where once only middle-aged ladies sat while having their hair beautified. "I wanted to follow the classical tradition of the coffeehouse," says Melton, who left a travel agency, to run Mark's and make its tureens of soups. "I didn't want the! coffeehouse oriented just to art- ists, or just to politics, or just tor hip groups -but oriented to every- body, as a general coffeehouse. "San Francisco or Greenwich Village Houses are too tourist oriented, too cute, too precious," feels Melton. "Everyone there is a spectator, not a participator. I want Mark's to find a spirit all its own." Marks' does have its own spirit. It's a coffeehouse where people can go and find acceptance and sit down and enjoy themselves without being hassled, says Mel- ton. Clientele seem to agree: the elderly couples who drop by after the theater for a hot chocolate, or music buffs who descend to the remodeled downstairs for movies, electric jazz trios or brass en- sembles. Or someone who sits at a front table with his baklava watching Ann Arbor walk by the store front picture window. If Mark's has to go, it will leave the building $11,000more disir- able than when Melton and co- owner Lloyd Cross-President of Sonavision, and financial adviser -found it. "It was in awful condition," re- calls Melton. "We spent three months remodeling it, doing all the work ourselves, bringing the building up to code, rewiring it, scraping old crud off the floors, sanding them and polishing them." All this will be lost in the shuffle if Campus refuses to renew Mark's lease. "Whatever they agreed to in the lease is what they'll get," says Lighthammer. Eleven thousand dollars of improvements and hundreds of man hours of worka are not in the lease. Mark's will lose more than ma-- terial improvements if it closes. It's clientele will suffer a loss' simply because there is no other coffeehouse in Ann Arbor like it not Canterbury, the Ark, or any of the other coffeehouses scattered over the campus. No place where Trotskyites. banjo buffs, noon businessmen and fraternity men can meet on the same level--and enjoy each other. "This town needs a place like Mark's,' siCys a student, who fre- qu nts the coffeehouse. "If people hang around on the sidewalks, they're told not to loiter. When they go to Mark's they're moved out. "Now if they go to the streets." adds the student, "I suppose the police will club them.' WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 3529 S.A.B. 10, 7:30 I A He eshe is . . .

I Austin, Gribbs lead Detroit mayoral race "Co "mtiiled Irunii pae I Gribbs' role is further confused by the vagueness of his political positions. Major Detroit business leaders and the usually conserva- tive Detroit Police Officers Asso- ciation endorsed him. But outgo- ing Mayor Jerome Cavanagh and' the Wayne County AFL-CIO gave him their approval as well. The UAW endorsed Austin but called Gribbs acceptable. He is far from being a "dumb cop." He is a lawyer who was first' appointed to the sheriff's job and' won election on his own last year. And although he disavows the' "law and order" approach, always emphasizing the issue of justice, he is still feared by some Detroit blacks. They dislike Gribbs because of the attitude he exhibited toward civil rights a few years ago when he was in the county prosecutor's office and took a hard line against demonstrations. The difficulty came to a head when Gribbs was allegedly attack- ed by an aide to U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) at a fund rais- ing party for Nicholas Hood, a liberal incumbent black city coun- cilman. Gribbs and Conyer's aide both: deny the attack. Gribbs said ie hadn't planned on staying at the fund-raising and left w h e n he. planned to. Austin's campaign has h a d a similar problem. Black voters comprise only about 36 per cent of the city and to win Austin must attract a significant majority of whites. To that. end he has at-' tempted to ignore the race issue.. declaring that race is not a factor in the campaign. That tactic suffered a serious blow however when a Detroit newspaper' revealed that Austin's campaign manager. John Millen- der, sent a letter to local Demo- cratic party officials saying that race was a factor in the campaign. Austin defended the letter, say- ing that he was not inserting race as an issue, but that leaders kept telling Millender that Detroit "wasn't ready for a black mayor." Mayor Cavanagh h a s avoided1 playing a role in the campaign' since he announced he would not run, some say because he didn'tr want the record of his adminis-f tration injected into the cam- paign. His staff honored his request that they stay out of the cain- paign as w e l1 until he released them. which he finally did in ear- ly August. He t o ld them at a breakfast meeting that he would not mind their working either for Gribbs or Austin. The staff was reportedly evenly split between the two. The other races - city council. treasurer and clerk - have been marked by a fight over the "name game. " Election laws allow can- didates with similar names to use ballot designations to distinguish them. This time, however. city clerk candidate George C. Edwards III, an attorney, challenged the prac- tice of procuring candidates sim- ply to get the use of the designa- tions. The City Elections Commission first refused to act, but finally did when ordered to by Wayne Coun- ty Circuit. Judge Victor Baum. One of the candidates went back to his court to challenge the com- mission's decision in three of nine' cases, and Baum again reversed thei. S i x others wveren't challenged on their merits, but one candidate asked the State Court of Appeals to consider the case. It did, over- ruling Baum on the grounds that he should have read the law strict- ly. However, the case , was t. h e n taken to the State Supreme Court. which upheld Baum. After each decision, Baum ruled on the five cases that had not been taken to the higher courts, each time fol- lowing the higher courts' istrue- t ions. Through the whole process the elections director w a s paralyzed from printing ballots. He finally let the absentee ballots go o uit with the designations that were finally struck, but the machine ballots will follow t h e supreme court's ruling.
