j The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October 17, 1978-Page 9 Washington as Moses? Colunmnist Wills thinks so By WILLIAM THOMPSON Today's loyal patriots,haccustomed to picturing George Washington chop- ping down cherry trees and crossing the IDelaware, would be astonished to see the Father of Our Country painted as Moses. But newspaper columnist Garry Wills claimed yesterday' that throughout American history many have,portrayed Washington as the American Moses. Wills, this year's speaker for the twenty-fourth William W. Cook Lec- tures on American Institutions, opened his four. day series of talks by examining "The Hero of Moses." Wills will continue his series on "Heroism in American Art and Politics" for the next three days in 100 Hutchins Hall. An author and college professor as well as a journalist, the clean-cut Wills discussed the treatment of George Washington as a Moses figure, claiming, "George Washington was the Moses of America's escape from Egypt." Wills quoted biographies, poems, and comments from Washington's contem- poraries which likened him to Moses, 'George Washington was the Moses of America's escape from Egypt., - Colum n ist Garry Wills saying, "despite Biblical rummaging from fresh comparisons, most were brought back to Moses." Wills flashed slides of works of art which depicted Washington, while giving witty descriptions of what effect each artist was trying to create. He admitted that "George Washington didn't lend himself to divine treat- ment." Wills concluded his lecture by dubbing Washington, "the Moses that won't happen." The Cook Lectures on American In- stitutions have taken place at the University since 1944. They are named for William Cook, a Michigan law graduate who died in 1930. Cook was involved in contributing the Cook Law Quadrangle and the Martha Cook residence hall to the University and established the William W. Cook foundation to sponsor the lectures. The late movie star, Francis Bushman, was so popular he was often forbidden to visit public places because women rioted trying to get to him. - 6..., . ?*t - Daily Photo by BRAD BENJAMIN 'Nuts toyou' Area resident Harlan Stone and friend enjoy a snack at a local park.

Suite G-2 Livonia, Michigan 48150 Name c (Continued from Page u explained last week that a salesman he employed had forged six contracts in the names of area merchants, causing the difficulty. LeMAR MENTIONED such "bad publicity" as anothe reason why he will stop publication of "The Entertainer.," LeMar said a survey of some of the 150 customers who currently have or- ders pending for LeMar's $9.95 passbook showed that "two-thirds don't want their books because of bad publicity." "On campus I'm' ruined," LeMar said. He said in West Quad, from which he received 28 ,orders, only one customer still wanted a passbook. ACCORDING TO LeMar, the salesman who committed the alleged hangefc forgery has agreed to sign a written statement claiming responsibility for the forgery and relieving LeMar of all liablility for the bad coupons. A "He's signing a piece of paper saying he's responsible if anybody sues me," said LeMar. LeMar said the agreement also calls for the salesman, a University junior, to give back the $25 per contract payments he received from LeMar as commission on the contracts. In ad- diton, the salesman will give LeMar an undetermined sum of money as a "good' faith" deposit, LeMar said. LeMAR SAID that before compiling-a new passbook, he will approach owners of every establishment in the current coupon book to ask if they want to be in the new publication. or coupo Fifteen of the 24 Ann Arbor merchan- ts listed in the current coupon book agree that they have valid contracts with LeMar. Many of the restaurants who do not have contracts are honoring the coupons anyway, most of them claiming that the practice is good for business. LeMar said that owners of the 350 books coupon books already distributed will receive form letters in the near future informing them that they can receive two valid coupons to other area eateries by returning the invalid coupons for Sander's ice cream stores. LeMar said that Sander's is the only merchant he knows of who is not honoring the fraudulent coupons. ~'0blc ad FREE 10 black and white copies or buy 1 color photo t-shirt transfer and get another copy of it free.

SOME $225,000 in unexpected revenues were received because of a $1 parking fine hike and increased state payments for city fire protection of the University. The city also used $74,600 in prior year revenues-$60,000 more than City Administrator Sylvester Murray's recommendation-to balance this year's budget. The major change in the Republican amendments was in $285,000 allocated to the Forestry Department, $29,000 more than was originally allocated last May. Republican Mayor Louis Belcher said a total of about 1,300 trees will be planted this fall. Councilwoman Leslie Morris (D- Second Ward) said she considered the revision in the Forestry Department allocation a "major Democratic vic- tory." Added Morris," "It's unfortunate that. the process (of budget con- sideration) had to be legally com- pelled." Councilman Ken Latta (D-First Ward) concurred in an earlier statement: "It's obvious that the Republican amendments have im- proved through the process." The portions of the budget acquired from state and federal sources amoun- ted to $5.8 million, about 25 per cent of the budget. In addition, Ann Arbor will receive $362,000 in federal reimbur-- sement for federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) jobs in the city. A Republican amendment reduced this year's CETA allocation by $33,000 from last year. Council principally altered Murray's budget with the following items: " an additional $225,000 for a special street repair fund, part of an overall $2 million spent for streets this year; " $50,000 for a fall leaf pickup program; * $50,000 in local matching funds for a tornado warning system; * $40,000 more for vehicles and material for street patching crews; " and $60,000 restored from a previous Republican cut in Forestry funding. The street and crew funds are mostly spent or committed. Murray's salary was boosted by 6.5 per cent to $41,060. Council Democrats opposed the fall leaf pickup program, tornado warning system, and an $18,000 gravel study. They asked that the $74,600 from prior year reserves remain in that reserve fund to guard against future city debts. The Democrats requested the following items be added to the budget: * $6,000 for part of a salary for the city historian; " $25,000 for a contingency fund (No such fund currently exists.); " $12,400 for additional street sweeping. All Democaratic proposals were defeated, but the Democrats voted for the budget. 25% off, EVERYTHING in our South University Centicore Bookshop 1229 S.
