Overkill
The wanton genocide at East Quad continues. Five more students
have bitten the dust in the marathon "killer" game which pits
"assassins" against "victims' in a dart gun contest for survival of the
fittest. Only five of the initial 165 participants have not been "hit," and
East Quad dwellers are anxiously awaiting the outcome. The latest
five to be iced were Jim Vander, Stan Nelson, Sue Vala, Bob June, and
Ken Goldberg. Vander was set up in a Biology lecture. Nelson, Vala,
and Goldberg left no details of their demise, but it is perhaps June who
suffered the worst. June had been rumored to be dead certain he
would win because he had gotten Bruce Springsteen to sign his gun
when Springsteen appeared last month in East Lansing. But, alas, the
Springsteen mystique carried no protection and Bob was eliminated.
Perhaps a Jesse James autograph would have been wiser.

Qops-,
Yesterday we ran an Associated Press story reporting the theft of
1,300 pounds of marijuana which was being held as trial evidence in a
heavily-guarded New York warehouse. "Each pound of marijuana is
enough to make abot 30 cigarettes or joints," the story quoted a drug
enforcement official as saying. At least one alert reader though that
didn't sound quite right. "If he rolls two joints to the ounce I'd like to
get high with him," the caller said. Bet he's not the only one. we
apologize for the typographical error.
We won't drink to that
It was probably bound to happen sooner or later, but we still wish it
hadn't. The "Kool-Aid party," a rough reference to the recent
Jonestown suicide, has started to pop up on campus. It's sort of like the
Animal House toga party (remember those?) sans togas, with Kool-
Aid as the featured beverage. Kool-Aid was originally reported to have
been mixed with the cyanide poison consumed by many of the People's
Temple followers who took their lives last month in Guyana.
Reporters on the scene said it was actually Fla-Vor-Aid, a similar
product, which was used in the mass suicide. But spokespersons gor
General Foods, the makers of Kool-Aid, and Jel-Sert, Inc., which
makes Fla-Vor-Aid, yesterday said neither company plans any action
to counter the adverse publicity. They may not need to. If the current
trend of Kool-Aid parties continues, they won't have to worry about a
drop-off in sales.

This toy 's all wet
The worst story of the year? We don't want to make any rash
decisions, but the consumer affairs committee of Americans for
Democratic Action (ADA) says it's "Baby Wet-N-Care," a doll that
wets its pants and "gets a pink mess on her rear end." The Yule-
season announcement was made by Ann Brown, chairwoman for the
ADA committee, who called the doll "potentially dangerous and
certainly a bad precedent." The doll, manufactured by Kenner
Products (the same folks who brought you Star Wars coupons last
year), comes with pills that are to be mixed with warm water in a
feeding bottle. Brown said when the orange-colored mixture passes
through the doll it comes out as a "pink guck" supposed to stick to the.
perforations on the doll's bottom, simulating diaper rash. Other white
pills produce a lotion with which to clean the doll. Besides exposing
children to the casual use of pills, Brown said the committee objects to
the doll because the television advertising implies the liquid produces
"pretty pink pimples when it in fact makes a big mess."
Spokesperson for Kenner could not be reached immediately for
comment. We suspect they were busy changinf diapers.
Car wars
There is a civil war being waged in Washington, D.C., and the
territory that is under dispute sits directly beneath the Hubert H.
Humphrey building. The war has been fought with surface-to-air
memos and nuclear-tipped invective. Yesterday, in a move of
desperation, the Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare colonists
declared that the United Spaces in their Underground Parking lot are
now independent of General Services Administration control,
liberating all the free parking for HEW Leader Joseph Califano's
oppressed assistants. Pressure had been building prior to the
confrontation, as GAS controlled the HEW parking lot from afar with
an iron hand. Parking spaces were still available to the HEW
colonists, but only for GSA-sympathetic carpoolers. But now that
HEW has declared independence, things are looking up. GSA
Regional Administrator Walter Kallaur said that HEW's move

Jobless rat remains constant

WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's
unemployment rate remained at 5.8 per
cent in November, but employment of
white adult men rose sharply,
reversing atrend favoring women, the
Labor Department reported yesterday.
The department said' total
employment advanced during the
month by 540,000 jobs, with white men
filling more than three-quarters of
them. That reverses a year-long trend
that has shown women capturing more
than half of the 3.3 million additional
jobs created thus far in 1978.
OVERALL, DEPARTMENT
economists said, the latest figures point
to a healthy job picture, with
unemployment remaining near a four-
point low. In evidence of that, the

department rgted that the

teen-agers holo jobs reached a
record high invember of 59.1 per

the latest unemployment rate, based
on a survey of 56,000 households, is
unchanged from October's 5.8 per cent

Overall, total employment in--eased
in November to 95.7 million, while the

-Obtaining a wage settlement in the

union that conforms to the wage

future of the anti-inflation program.
Kahn said he is hopeful about the
outcome of the negotiations next year
because the Teamsters leadership is
"patriotic and socially responsible" on
the issue and "wants very much to

MEANWHILE, THE Council on
Wage and Price Stability, of which
Kahn is chairman, announced that John
Gentry, a Washington attorney
specializing in labor matters, has been
named deputy adviser to the president
on labor-management relations.
In the interview, Kahn was asked how
people would know whether a
particular wage or price increase
violated the administration's
guidelines.
"It certainly helps for us to tell them
where we can," he responded, citing as
an example the administration's public
complaint about the big increase in pay
for the lawmakers in Illinois.
"I think we will have to devise some
method of responding to public
complaints," Kahn said. He added that
the council might issue lists of
questions for people to pose to
businesses, such as grocery stores,
which might raise prices.

November, but the largest gains were
in mining, construction and
manufacturing, where male
employment predominates.
Because of the large gain in jobs fr
white men during the month, theur
unemployment rate fell from 3.6 per
cent in October to 3.4 per cent.
Black men, however, did not share in
the gains, and their unemployment rate
rose to 8.7 per cent from 8.4 per cent in
October.
FOR ALL MEN, the unemployment
rate remained unchanged at 4 per cent.
Other employment rates reported] by
the department included:
-Adult women 5.8 per cent, up from
5.6 per cent in October after a year of
steady declines.
-Teen-agers 16.2 per cent, down
from 16.3 per cent in October.
-Whites 5 per cent, down from 5.1
per cent.
-Non-whites 11.8 per cent, up from
11.4 per cent.
-Full-time workers 5.2 per cent,
down from 5.3 per cent.
-Black teen-agers, 36.2 per cent, up
from 34.3 per cent.
The report also showed that the
duration of individual unemployment
has declined sharply in the past year
from an average 7 weeks in November
1977 to 5.5 weeks last month.
The average work week in November
rose 0.1 hours to 35.9 hours, while
average weekly earnings increased 0.7
per cent from October and 8.7 per cent
since lovember 1977. The average
production worker earned $5.87 an hour
or $210.15 a week.
All the figures are adjusted to
account for seasonal variations.
