The making of a president
W.ith tuition costs constantly rising it's nice to know that some
University offices are trying to lighten the burden. As the Republican
Committee considers Detroit as a -possible convention site the
University Housing Office is seeing how it could be involved in the
making of a president -1980. The University may rent 2400 dormitory
rooms to Republicans if they choose Detroit. "The basic intent of the
Committee is to provide reasonable cost housing for its less affluent
members," said Peter Schoch, University Housing Director. "Our
intent is to make money to lower the rates for students," he said.
Because of amply parking space, Baits and Bursley would probably
be the dorms used. If the Republicans don't use the space the Soviet
Workers may. "We are in the housing business," added Schoch, "not
the political one".
Correction
In yesterday's paper, we incorrectly stated that a steering
committee formed to coordinate anti-apartheid actvities in the
midwest would only consist of students. the committee will also
include representatives from many local community organizations.
Also, labor groups will be involved in the committee activities.
Take ten
By BILL THOMPSON
and TOM MIRGA
In recent years, Homecoming at the
University comes and quietly goes each
October, leaving most students with
few memories other than vague
recollections of the Sat foottball game.
But this.year, the University Activities
Center (UAC) has whipped up a
schedule of crazy activities for this
week aimed at firing up the student
body to make Homecoming '78 an event
to remember.
UAC is reviving a number of
University traditions from years past
when students were more enthusiastic
about events such as Homecoming.
With this in mind, UAC chose to bring a
taste of the 50's back to campus.
"THE WHOLE theme of
Homecoming is the 50's," explained
Homecoming Chairwoman Colleen
Hogan. "We're taking advantage of
things we had going with 'Grease' and
'Animal House,' "
Activities for this week include the
first Homecoming parade in a decade,
a Beach Boys concert, and a dance
extravaganza at the Union entitled
"Michigan Bandstand '58," a not-too-
subtle take-off on American Bandstand.
The action kicks off this afternoon
with the Car Bash on the Diag at 3 p.m.
The Car Bash is a demolition contest
which pits the North fraternities
against the South frats.
CAR BASH co-chairman Bill Horal
explained, "Each team gets a car and a
certain amount of time to beat it (the
car) with a sledgehammer, while
judges such as Rep. (Carl) Pursel and
Prof. (George) Cavender assess the
damage."

will be back in the spotlight at the Pep
Rally on the Diag. Featured

Michigan's football team.
THE MICHIGAN Marching Band will
also appear at the rally, and they will
march from the Dental School to the
steps of the Graduate Library at 6:45
p.m.
The Beach Boys will appear at
Crisler Arena Fri at 8 p.m. While the
concert is not an official Homecoming
activity, the Office of Major Events
scheduled it to coincide with
Homecoming and its reminiscent
theme.
Sat. morning's Homecoming parade
also blends in with the week's nostalgia.
"They haven't had one in about ten
years," noted parade chairwoman
Cathy Van Wagnen. "It's part of a
revival tradition and this year we have
more. The parade will include floats
built by dorm residents and Greek
houses, ahd President and Mrs.
Fleming will be the marshals."
THE PARADE which begins at 9 a.m.
on Sat. morning, will begin at Main and
Packard and wind through the city with
judging taking place at the Union steps.
The parade will disperse at the north
end of East University.
The annual Mudbowl clash happens
at 10 a.m. on the corner of South and
Washtenaw. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and
Phi Delta Theta fraternities play
football in the muddy field they've been
preparing for a week, and two-year
champs Kappa Alpha Theta sorority
challenge Delta Delta Delta to a
speedball match at half-time.
Immediately following the football
game, the Intramural Sports Building
celebrates its 50th anniversary with an
open house called "A Touch of Gold."
ACTIVITIES INCLUDE swimming,
squash, paddleball aid basketball
Homecoming revisits the '50's
tournaments. A jazz band, old movies
and food will also be available and
admission is free.
Sat. night's "Michigan Bandstand
'58"-"one of the biggest things
happening in Michigan history,"
according to coordinator Gerry
Czonka-climaxes Homecoming week.
Czonka has lined up a crew of
television camerapersons and
technicians, musicians, dancers, and
CKLW radio personality Dick
Purtain will star as an ersatz version of
Dick Clark.
"We are building an entire studio set
in the Union Ballroom that will look no
different than ABC or CBS" said
Czonca. "The place is really going to be
decked out. We've even gotten a huge
screen T.V. to air old commercials
during the breaks in the show."
Other Bandstand highlights include
perennials like Rate-A-Record and king
and queen of the hop.
"We're also holding a dance contest
with first place being two tickets and
travel expenses to the OSU game in:
Columbus," Czonka said. "The whole;
thing is going to be a spectacle."
The "spectacle" begins at 7:30 p.m.,
and Czonca advises anyone who plans
to get h seat to better show up early, as
he expects a crowd of well over 1500
greasers and bobby sockers trying td
twist their way into the Union.

CAGNEY and HARLOW in 1931

Male chauvinism abounds as Cagney smashes grapefruit into his girlfriend's
face (and becomes the number one bootlegger in New York City during the
Prohibition Era). Probably the most classic gangster film of its time. By the
director, William Wellman, who gave Hollywood its first Academy-winning
film, Wings among others.

Rudd
Mark Rudd, a former Columbia student activist, and Edward Cole,
president of1 General Motors came to the University with quite
different messages Oct. 25, 1968. Speaking to a packed house in
Rackham-Auditorium, Rudd, fresh from the spring '68 Columbia
uprising against the Columbia administration said "student power is
totally irrelevant to where we're at," that instead the Columbia strike
was aimed at the larger issue of the corporate, exploitative nature of
the university. Cole, at the Centennial Convocation of the University's
Mechanical Engineering department, said his industry offered more
opportunity for self-expression than ever before.
