Rage Sk THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, May 24, 1969 Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY The Texas Wedge Doily's Complaints EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Bogema is the Book Review Editor of the Ann Arbor Argus. The following are his observations concerning the Daily. By DREW BOGEMA No one at the 'U' especially likes The Daily. Oh yes, one sees copies everywhere-stuffed into notebooks to be read at leisure during boring lectures, stacks occupying local newsstand corners, (usually going unpurchased-who'd pay a dime for twelve pages at the most?), rubber-band clad issues filling quad- die mailboxes. Black students, after the Senior Editors of The Daily refused to recommend one of their chosen few for an SGC seat, held two Diag rallies on consecutive days to condemn The Daily's in- fluence (which is substantial) upon campus politics. Ken Kelley, a former Daily dssistant-night-editor, found The Daily climate so uptight and stultifying he resigned his position, protesting the lack of coverage to drug busts, induction resistance and new media innovation. After an apprenticeship with the East Village Other, he founded a rival publication, the Ann Arbor Argus (published bi-weekly), the local representative of the underground press of Avator, Berkeley Barb, and Other fame. All other studept publications hold their enthusiasm for The Daily well under control, and the polemics that are bandied forth between the Gardyle, Ensian, Generation, and The Daily have almost become a campus ritual. SDS MEMBERS undoubtedly believe that the political sen- timents represented on the editorial page are counter-revolu- tionary; that the orientation of news coverage gives vivid il- lustration of the existence of our social chains; that the in- formal alliance between The Daily, Radical Caucus, and the Rent-Strike is a pre-conceived plot to deny SDS any influence among the grass-roots.. The avant-garde, on the other hand, vehemently charges that the limited coverage and bland reviews illustrates a Daily lack of enthusiasm for cultural renovation. Responsible faculty, those who would not for their life enter a debate with students on questions of academic politics (co- optation in decision-making means instability, turmoil, and loss of all that we hold so dear), see The Daily as a maze of con- fusion, immaturity, passion, and, of course, unreason. Irresponsible faculty, however, subscribe delightfully, un- doubtedly because they see political proteges and life-style heirs, who, will eventually become comrades in the great righteous crusade to make college communities homes of diverse, creative, that is, truly intellectual activity. Administrators peer and scowl at the rag over their morn- ing coffee (or whatever they drink, if they do), hoping that their latest blunder has gone undetected, or giggle in childish delight when their latest decree to appease the legislature has been described as the first step toward the ushering in of political . repression. Even the foremost apologists of The Daily-wring their hands in dismay as the editorial contradictions and typographical errors manifest themselves in virtually every edition, and wait with baited breath for the day when a consistent leftish editorial line is adopted. ARDENT SPORTS FIENDS chide the publication for rotten and sketchy coverage of national sports and the increas- ingly rash predictions and suppressed enthusiasm for the Wol- verines. Greeks know that The Daily is out to screw them at the first opportunity as the bastion of privilege, greed, and capitalist aspirations. Ann Arbor News reporters speak far more frequently with their counterparts on the Argus than those hated scum, those young, impudent, pretentious, upstarts who consistently out- scoop the elderly fascists. Doug Harvey, Walter Krasny, and Gene Staudenmaier, the local gendarme-pig-protectors of the public good (whatever your preference), feel, no doubt, that they have martyred their earning power (what the hell else in America can one martyr?) for a noble life on the crass. Robben Fleming and Robert Harris, the local sovereigns, anxiously await the day when The Daily will be on their political Right. Ann Arbor landlords have taken the Rent Strike to court for seeking to obtain alleged libelous articles in The Daily. HARLAN HATCHER seldom complains. He reads the paper for a grand chuckle. Eugene Power, informed sources have it, is planning a massive coup to destroy The Daily, in order to regain his lost regental position. As for The Texas Wedge, it needs political radicalization, social concern, and immedi'ate movement to the editorial page. Did you ever see Humphrey Bogart playing golf? Everybody, however, is clearly expecting too much. Take, for example, other college newspapers and compare their coverage, editorial thought, and relationship with administrators, faculty, and students, and you'll will open your morning copy of The Daily with enthusiasm of a pot high. Take or subscribe to the Detroit News or Free Press, and within a week, you'll spearhead the growth of barricades in Pellston, or lapse into a drugged state of indifference, reminiscent of the Detroit wage-slave, the one we all know and love. Thus, if all you pseudo-intellectual freaks can do is complain and criticize, go start your own rag. Av6 The Daily!

The loss was the eighth in suc- cession for California. The Tigers have won five of their last six games. Lolich, 6-1, breezed a called third strike past Dick Stuart for the second out in the ninth, break- ing the previous Detroit mark of 15 strikeouts set by Paul Foytack in 1956. The stock hero of last year's World Series triumph over St. Louis trailed 3-0 until Mickey Stanley belted a grand slam homer off loser Andy Messersmith in the fourth inning. Stanley's infield hit, a walk, Norm Cash's single and a sacrifice foul fly by Willie Horton sent two insurance runs home in the seventh.

Allyn predicted the merger !could occur in December at the winter meetings. "The merging would result in three eight-team divisions," Allyn said. "The new setup would be called just 'baseball.'" "There would be West, Central and Eastern divisions, and would be created on a geographical bas- is. A look at the map would pro- vide the key as to the location of the respective teams," he told newsmen. The"White Sox owner said the thinking of "independent people" as w e I1 as those in baseball is along the lines of a merger. He explained that the new structure would be headed by a president of baseball in the form of today's commissioner, and "with the, same powers." The present commissioner is; nationally competitive w i t h the obvious high stakes going to the winner." He said he can't see how base- ball "can avoid" a merger. A Uni- versity of Pennsylvania study of baseball "has indicated that mer- ger of the two leagues has come up strong in the researching," he said. "Maybe they, the other owners will find a better way," Allyn said. "But my b e s t guess would b that the two leagues will have toI merge," he s a i d. "I repeat, it's logical and sensible."
