On Oct. 22, 1968, with the presidential election less than a month
away, three members of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action
debated the relative strengths of the candidates. Law Prof. L. Hart
Wright supported Humphrey since he could "provide America with
badly needed time" to reach solutions to domestic problems; his
colleague Paul Carrington backed Nixon in part because "Humphrey
lacks the ability to get out of the war; and Dr. Edward Pierce-now
running for State Senate-compared Humphrey to former President
Johnson and recommended voters back McCarthy.
A head for business
Everybody's out looking for a way to make a couple of bucks but
not many people use their head the way Philadelphian George
Dashnav did. The 55-year-old advertising executive has obtained
several human skulls from a medical supply firm and is marketing
them for $100 each. "It all started when I was a kid," Dashnau ex-
plained. "I saw a print of an alchemist holding a skull and I thought
"Gee, that would be a keen thing to have." The salesman said he hopes.
his clinetele will include "business executives who want an unusual
desk ornament." If the idea catches on, he plans to offer a wider range
of merchandise. Who knows? Perhpas the next attraction will be'en-
tire skeletons for those avid entertainers who went an unusual stan-s
ding lamp for their living room.

SHAKES HANDS, CHATS WITH STUDENTS:

As she joined the small, hesitant
circle of people at the entrance to the
living room at Betsy Barbour dor-
mitory Friday afternoon, the smiling
young student wasn't quite sure what,
she should say. She stood still, looking
expectantly at the small, white-haired
woman who was the center of attention.
As if from reflex, the energetic older
woman leaned forward, offered a hand,
and recited cheerfully, "Hi, I'm Marge
Griffin. The senator's wife. What's your
name?"
"DONNA SARAFIN," answered the
casually dressed student as she let go of
the handshake, wondering, perhaps,
how else she might identify herself.
Without hesitation the visitor asked
where Sarafin was from. Since she was
Resident Director, there was a moment
of discussion devoted to a definition of
that job -before the conversation turned
elsewhere.
The scene has been repeated coun-
tless times over the two decades Marge
Griffin has been married to a,
politician-smiling and introducing
herself, then smiling and saying good-
bye.
SINCE 19571 when Republican
Robert Griffin first ran for Congress
and Marge walked door-to-door on one
side of the street and her husband
walked the other, she has been setting
aside election years as periods for
exhaustive public exposure.
During the 55-year-old politician's
five terms in Congress-from 1956 to
1966-the Griffins sought exposure
every two years, at election time. But
since 1966, the senator's first year in
that office, the exposure has become in-
tense only during the sixth year of the
term.
Throughout the career of her
politically conservative husband, first
while he was in the House of Represen-
tatives and now as he tries to earn a
third term in the Senate, Marge has
campaigned so hard for him that, on
occasion, she feels "dead."
"BY THE END of a day, I feel so
tired," she-said Friday, while visiting
campus on a handshaking trip. As if it
explained her weariness, she added "I
have children your age, you know."
She had only just finished a descrip-
tion of the political views of those
children-one is a "great liberal,'
another "quite conservative," and both
are to her left, as is the senator by her
estimation. Then she launched into a
vigorous defense of her husband's
voting attendance record with all the
enrgey that she hopes voters will iden-
tify with the Griffin

PIRGIM finishes pric
By TIMOTHY YAGLE
Three members of the Public Interest
Research Group in Michigan
(PIRGIM) who were thrown out of
Ralph's Market Thursday for conduc-
ting a price comparison, completed
their task Friday.
Michael Kwosman, Gregg Nathanson
and Steve Michaelson of PIRGIM,
conducting a price comparison of small
food markets in the Ann Arbor area,
were told by an employee of Ralph's
that they couldn't take down the store's
prices because the "owner doesn't want
it," said a clerk who refused to reveal his
identity.
KWOSMAN SAID if the store em-
ployee threw them out, the three
PIRGIM members could charge the

store with assault. "But if we don't
leave," Kwosman continued, "we're
trespassing."
The store employee was aware of
PIRGIM's activities because an em-
ployee has to sign the price sheet "for
our own security," said Kwosman.
Paul Teich, a Legal Aid attorney,
said that under Ann Arbor's Unit
Pricing ordinance "a retailer must
disclose to the consumer the infor-
mation about their pricing." Legal Aid
also said they have the right to do
business "as long as they don't
discriminate."
According to Kwosman, Ann Arbor's
Consumer Action Center said that
Ralph's is a public place open for
business but that they have the right to
evict anyone who isn't buying anything
or is causing a disturbance. Under city
e survey
law, this constitutes trespassing and is
subject to arrest.
Kowsman said other Ann Arbor
stores, including Campus Corner's and
the Food Mart, have been cooperative
in PIRGIM's effort.
