Page 10- Saturday, September 23, 1978-The Michigan Daily Recount goes on; Colburn leads By MICHAEL ARKUSH Results released yesterday from a preliminary recount show that Univer- sity professor C. William Colburn still holds a five-vote margin over Ann Ar- bor City Councilman . Ronald Trowbridge (R-Fourth Ward) in the GOP race for nomination to the 18th district State Senate seat. The Washtenaw Board of Can- vassers, under state supervision, recounted all the machines and repor- ted no irregularities. MILDRED CRAWFORD, deputy county clerk, said yesterday the board will recheck the punch card votes Mon- day and Tuesday and report the final official tallies by late Tuesday after- noon. But the official winner will not be known until the State Board of Can- vassers meet late next week to'certify the results. The recount became necessary when the August 8th primary results showed Trowbridge with a slim, one-vote vic- tory over Colburn. Colburn filed for a recount and paid the necessary fee of $870, $5 for each of the district's 174 precincts. ON TUESDAY, the County Board of Canvassers began recounting the district's absentee ballots. The board found that some of the ballots contained "crossover" votes, places in which choices were marked for both the Republican and Democratic slates. Under state law, this practice is not allowed. Discounting the absentee ballots, Colburn overtook the city councilman and maintained a five-vote lead before yesterday's recount. Crawford said the canvassers would examine the votes closely to spot any irregularities in the electronic ballot cards. "On Monday and Tuesday, the board will see if there are any problems with the rotation and code number on the punch cards," Crawford said. Although Washtenaw County com- prises eighty per cent of the district's electorate, votes also had to be recoun- ted from Livingston, Jackson and Lenawee Counties. So far, no changes have been reported. DETROIT PISTONS CLEVELAND CAVALIERS CRISLER , Tomorrow! A PM UAC TICKET CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNION LOBBY 4& 5 Peace drive stalled; Vance still pushing (Continued from Page 1), that an autonomous Palestinian gover- nment could be elected for the territory and that peace talks could proceed over its future even without the presence or formal consent of Jordan. IN THE letter to President Carter dated Sept. 17, Sadat wrote: "To ensure the implementation of the provisions related to the West Bank and Gaza and in order to safeguard the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, Egypt will be prepared to assume the Arab role emanating from these provisions, following consultations with Jordan and the representatives of the Palestinian people." An administration official, who spoke to reporters on condition that he not be named, said he was hesitant to inter- pret exactly how far Sadat was willing to .go in negotiating on behalf of other Arabs. But he added that, "It could mean that if the Palestinians were comfor- table with President Sadat negotiating for them in the initial stage, in setting up a self-governing authority, there's nothing in any of the documents that were signed at Camp David, or after Camp David that would preclude that." The 13 days of negotiations at Camp David with President Carter, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin produced two agreements on a framework for peace and for future negotiations about disputed issues in the Middle East. The basic Camp David agreements provided that Israel and Egypt would sign a peace treaty this year returning the , Sinai and set up a general framework for a broader agreement covering the Palestinians. The broader agreement provides for a five-year transition period during /which Israeli military forces would remain, but only in specific garrisons, and for an elected Palestinian Arab government that would take over civil rule and participate in negotiations over the ultimate future of the territory.

Cutsy (far left) looks on yesterday as her colleagues explain to 28-year-old Yvonne Duffy that she cannot sell goods on the Diag without a permit. D isabled womrnan defies police By RICHARD'BERKE A handicapped Ann Arbor woman caused a stir yesterday by refusing to heed police orders to stop. peddling clothes and sea shells on the west side of the Diag. Yvonne Duffy, confined to a wheelchair, spent several hours selling her goods until her efforts were halted by city police who said she needed a permit from the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA). The conflict, which ended yesterday afternoon with police issuing Duffy a code violation for peddling without a license, began last Saturday. ON THAT DAY, police officer D. A. Cutsy approached Duffy and told her she must obtain a permit to sell, ac- cording to Duffy. Despite the war- ning, the 1973 University graduate continued to vend her goods yester- day. When told by Cutsy yesterday that she must pack her goods and leave the Diag, Duffy refused, and said she had never heard of the University regulation against selling without a permit. Cutsy, accompanied by a contingent of city police officers and University Safety Department officers, once again ordered Duffy out of the Diag and said they would drive her home. AFTER AN hour of unsuccessful prodding to make Duffy go home, police issued the code violation 'and confiscated her goods. If Duffy doesn't appear in the 15th District Court by October 13, her violation will turn into an arrest warrant and her goods will be destroyed. But Duffy, who said police are treating her unfairly, said she hopes she is arrested so the public can find out how police have treated her un- fairly. E.D. Fish, University safety officer, said cases of people selling goods on the Diag without permission rarely come up because "most know the rules." "I didn't start out to do all this," 28- year-old Duffy said. "I just wanted to sell clothes."

Patricia Gross, 27, of Port Huron, was cleared of the charges following about four hours of deliberations by a jury of three men and nine women. Gross, sobbing heavily, jumped from the defendant's chair moaning, "Oh my God," after the verdict was announced. Friends and relatives in the courtroom embraced her in the courtroom em- braced her in an emotional scene. A MOTHER of three, Gross had been charged in the March 20 fatal shooting of her husband, Walter, but contended she acted in self-defense. She testified during the week-long trial that her husband beat her on numerous occasions during their nine years of marriage, wasconstantly ac- cusing her of seeing other men and would not let her out of the house. But Gross, in testimony that often was interrupted by her outbursts of crying,'said she still loved her husband and regretted that she had killed him. The husband died of seven gunshot wounds inflicted with a semi-automatic .22-caliber rifle. Gross told police who arrived on the scene that day that her husband had threatened to kill her prior to the shooting. TWO POLICEMEN, Officers Joe Payne and Thomas Shay, testified that they once helped Gross and her children leave town by bus to go stay with relatives in Mississippi following a beating that left the woman with a cut and swollen ear and bumps all over her head. Gross said she returned with the children after her husband threatened to harm her relatives. Other witnesses told of how Walter Gross once grabbed his wife by the hair in a local tavern, threw her on the floor and then kicked her repeatedly. On the day of the shooting, Gross said her husband came home intoxicated, started yelling and screaming at her and said he would have beaten her "if you weren't holding that kid" - a reference to the couple's seven-month- old child. HE LEFT the house, returned about 30 minutes later and the bickering resumed. When he started walking towards her, Gross said, she picked up the rifle and fired at him repeatedly. Police reports showed 10 Shots were fired in rapid succession. Defense attorney Gary Fletcher said he "felt like falling over in the cour- troom" when the verdict was read. But, he added, "I thought that they reached the correct decision based on the evidence presented." Various women's rights groups of- fered to help Mrs. Gross post bond after spending two months in jail and help pay her legal fees, but the offers were turned down. She accepted financial help from relatives and friends.

To assist the intensified recruitment drive, the Admissions Office has received limited funding from the University for mailings and travel. Admissions Office officials, however, are quick to point out that recruitment at the academic level is still aimed primarily at in-state students. "It is still only a very small portion of University resources which are being used to recruit out-of-state students," said Edward Dougherty, assistant to the vice-president for academic affairs. "Ninety per cent of our efforts are still devoted to recruiting in-state FOLD BACK THIS FLAP 8 SEAL WITH TAPE FROM AFFIX POSTAGE HERE Circulation-Department Student Publications Building 420 Maynard Street Ann Arbor, Mich. 48109 FOLD students because they make up the vast majority of our undergraduate enrollment." THE UNIVERSITY is also interested in increasing the enrollment of top- notch minority and lower-income students. "We've been trying for years to at- tract these students, but they are much harder to get hold of," said Sjogren. "Though they may be of the highest academic standing, they often come from schools which have serious deficiencies." Admissions Office officials say they are confident their recruitment efforts will be successful. "By looking-at the improved in-state scores, one can see that our recruit- ment around the state has been very successful," said Sjogren, "and we want to keep this school at the highest academic standard possible." ROADS OVERCROWDED WASHINGTON (AP)-If there seem to be just too many cars on the roads today, it's undoubtedly because the nation's miles of roadway are not keeping pace with increased traffic, says the Road Information Program. The information service reports there are 1.8 million miles of paved roads in the United States, an increase of 16 percent since 1968. But cars, trucks and buses have increased 43 percent during the same 10 years, from 101 million to 144 million, it adds. IBowling. it
