t~ ;F YOJSE NE SL A PECALL WDAY Take Ten 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: Mrs. Griffin visit ILANCHARD v RIAN R' y R Bit1i JJEtim nAsnv 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 "When he was ( he learned which' and which votes ar (the Whip position necessity to be on bers) floor all the t fin.

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 The University's research volume last year totaled more than $76 million. University alumni are concentrated in Michigan (108,258), California (17,541), New York (14,481), Ohio (11,502) and Illinois (11,290). 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. soundstage presents COFFEE HOUSE TUES., OCT. 24-8 pm in the U CLUB FREE ENTERTAINMENT Student talent performing in an informal atmosphere Sponsored by Union Programrming-UAC m Old-Time Political THE MICHIGAN DAILY volume LIX; No. 40 SundayOctober 22, 1978 is edited and managed by students at the University of" Michigan.
