The hulking Fitzgerald grabbed aynard's hand and awkwardly anked it into the air in a display of heir solidarity for the 600 cheering par- y loyalists present. AT THAT moment, the contrast bet- een the two was plainly obvious - 4aynard, a 42-year-old rather reserved. nother of three, paired with a boisterous Irish bachelor eight years her junior. And the one-foot height ad- vantage Fitzgerald holds over his run- ning mate only sharpens the contrast. Though not outwardly noticeable, the biggest difference between the two is on the abortion issue. Maynard is protestant and pro-abortion, while the Catholic Fitzgerald is against abortion. However, Maynard, a womens' rights advocate, denies that she has sold out by running on a Democratic ticket which doesn't even have the endor- sement of the National Organization of Women. She says she agrees on "just See LIBBY, Page 10 By RICHARD BERKE Wherever he goes, State Senator William Fitzgerald demands everyone's attention-'and he gets it. Whether shaking hands at plant gates, slapping backs at picnics or handing out leaflets on street corners, the six foot four inch former basketball coach compels people to listen to him. "Come here and shake my hand before I kick your butt," he ordered an old friend recently. "And don't forget to spread the word," the Democaratic gubernatorial candidate added with a smile. 'The word,' according to Fit- zgerald, is that he can dethrone the in- cumbent Republican, Governor William Milliken, despite widespread predictions to the contrary -by political pundits. FITZGERALD RELIED heavily on such bravado early in the campaign, when he needed recognition to offset the immense popularity of the affable Milliken. But although Milliken had led by 10 or more per cent since the cam- paign began, according to the polls, recent figures indicate that Fit- zgerald's active campaigning has brought him even with the incumbent.

Until these criteria are "explicitly provided for" MSA will not name a student advisory committee to par- t ticipate in the process. MSA decided during its weekly session in the Union to postpone inter- viewing of the 60 candidates for the student search committee. Instead it will set up a mass meeting during which interested students would be able to discuss the process. A substitute amendment was defeated which would have provided for a constructive alternative to the boycott, by establishing an independent committee to represent members of the rippling autumn Daily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG University community.

But Carter said his new program of argely voluntary wage and price uidelines is doomed unless it wins the ooperation of labor, business, gover- ment and the general public. THE PRESIDENT chose the White ouse Oval Office as the setting for the ddress to the nation. While reporters listened, Carter told the Cabinet that "very formidable" op- position was beginning to arise from unnamed special interests even while he put the finishing touches on the ad- dress. "We've got to be prepared to meet it forcefully and effectively," the resident said. THE NEW guidelines would take the government one step beyond the ad- ministration's initial anti-inflation ef- fort, which involved pleas to business and labor earlier this year to restrain wage and price increases by holding them to below the average increases of the preceding two years.; The new program will be aimed at limiting wage increases to 7 per cent next year and price increases to about 5.75 per cent. If successful, the program would reduce inflation to between 6 per cent and 6.5 per cent by the end of 1979, compared with a rate of about 8 per cent by the end of this year. Carter briefed Cabinet members after returning to the White House from Camp David, the secluded Maryland mountaintop retreat where he'd been working on the address. "I THINK THE speech that I will make tonight.. . is one of the most im- portant that I'll ever make while I'm president," Carter said. "The inflation pressures on us are getting increasingly severe, and of course they've been bad for the last 10 years," the president said, adding: "Unless we can unite not only the government officials at the federal, state and local levels, but also private industry, labor and other elements of - Wednesday--- * New York Times reporter Myron Farber (right), who was first jailed in July for refusing to turn over notes in the murder trial of Dr. Mario Jascalevich (left, with his wife), was released yesterday. A few hours later, Jascalevich was acquitted. See story, Page 7. " Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was put on one year's rr nho a..n , a fter i the American economy, the effort is not going to be successful," said Carter, who opposes mandatory wage and price controls. WHILE BRIEFING a handful of members of Congress later, Carter said he would try to arouse any "un- warranted expectations" about the possible success of the program. He said the goal is to make inflation "level off and hopefully go down." The president has said many times that he opposes mandatory wage and price controls unless there is a national emergency, and in any case Congress has not given Carter the authority to impose them. Then-President Richard Nixon, using authority that a Democratic-controlled Congress forces on him over his own ob- jections, imposed mandatory wage and price controls in 1971 when inflation was running at about six per cent a year. The rate dropped to 3.4 per cent in 1971 and 1972, but shot up at 8.8 per cent in 1973 after controls were lifted, and 12.2 per cent the following year. LABOR SECRETARY Ray Marshall, speaking to reporters after the Cabinet meeting, said the president would propose a "standard" rather than a "guideline" for wage and price in- creases. Marshall confirmed the seven per cent figure for wage increases and said, "If you get above-average increases in wages, above the seven per cent, you want to figure out why." As for prices, company-by-company guidelines are aimed at holding down increaes to a national average of 5.75 per cent a year, officials said. Each company would be asked to hold its in- creases to 0.5 per cent less thanits own average for 1976 and 1977. Marshall said that "This is not a purely voluntary program." By KEVIN ROSEBOROUGH Billy Hardesty was arraigned yester- day in his hospital room on five counts of first degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to commit mur- der. He is being held without bond. Hardesty, 21, is in fair condition at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital recovering from shotgun wounds he sustained in an Oct. 19 shootout with the state police. FOURTEENTH District Court Judge Kenneth Bronson ordered Hardesty to face preliminary examination in Cir- cuit Court Oct. 31 on charges that he murdered his mother and father. Judge Bronson also set Hardesty's exam in the murder of his ex-wife's brother, Daniel Wood, and the critical wounding of two other men for Nov. 1. Hardesty will appear in court again Nov. '2 for examination on two more counts of murder for the deaths of Timothy Schofield, 21, and Troy Curry, 28, in the parking lot of Abigail's Dirty Shame Saloon in Ypsilanti. Bronson set bond at $50,000 for each count of assault with intent to commit murder, but ordered Hardesty to be held without bond on the five murder charges. WASHTENAW County Prosecutor William Delhey said the purpose of a preliminary examination is to establish two points. The first is to determine whether the crime in question was ac- tually committed. The second is that there is enough evidence that the defendant may have committed the crime to justify binding him over for trial. Delhey said he is confident Hardesty will be bound over for trial, but added that the preliminary examination could only take place after Hardesty is released from the hospital. "There is a good chance that Har- desty won't be released in time for examination next week," Delhey said, adding that he would probably handle the case himself. Hardesty was represented at the arraignment by Belleville attorney Robert Meston. INVESTIGATORS believe that Har- desty's alleged murder rampage began about 4 p.m. Wed., Oct. 18 with the shooting death of his father. Hardesty's mother is believed to have died about 10 p.m. Wednesday, while the slaying of Schofield and Curry was witnessed shortly after 2 a.m. Nearly two hours later, Wood was killed at the Stiles Wood Corporation shop while at work. Bobby Baker, and Tommie Lee Brown were both wounded in the attack. Brown was listed in serious condition yesterday, while Baker rests in fair condition.
