Night Owl Howls
Eastern Daylight Savings time ends Sunday morning at 2. And,
because the sun sets each day earlier and earlier, the Night Owl bus
will begin regular service on Monday. The bus will make runs seven
nights a week from 7 p.m. to 12:30/a.m., excluding vacations. The
Night Owl is scheduled to leave every 30 minutes from the bus stop in
front of the UGLI. The basic route is through the Cambridge Street
area as far east as Oxford Housing and as far north as 'U' Hospital.
Maps of the complete route can be picked up in the lobby of the LSA
building and at Oxford Housing.
Take ten
The administrative assistant to Sen. Eugene McCarthy announced
the evening of Oct. 28, 1968, that the former presidential candidate
would endorse Hubert Humphrey in the race against Nixon. Also that
day, Francois Mitterland, then leader of the French Coalition of the
Left, who ran unsuccessfully in the '78 French spring elections, came
to campus as part of the Controversy '68 lecture series. "We of the
French left feel that De Gaulle's nationalist policies are intelligent,
but just a bit retarded," said Mitterland in French, which was
immediately translated into English. He charged that De Gaulle's
policies are unoriginal and "don't correspond to the givens of this
century."

Shake your bookies
The next time you want some cheerleaders to scream wildly as you
complete your fourth mid-term in record time, you can call up the
Richmond, Virginia, Chimborazo Elementary School. When the
cheerleaders at Chimborazo lead the rah-rah-rahs at the pep rallies,
they're urging their classmates onto victory over a paper foe -
standardized achievement tests. "If the whole student bodies can get
inspired for a coming game, why not for a test?" asks the Chimborazo
school principal. Why not? Maybe Michigan should try it - ok, folks,
all together: "Sine, cosine,sine, 3.14159!"

On the outside ...
Homecoming football fans will be bathed by blue skies and warm
weather today. The weather service predicts that the mercury should
reach 50 degrees, and will hit a low of 34. No rain is predicted over the
weekend. Go blue skies.

A

unique way to smash up cars

By JOE VARGO
The race car enters the straightaway
going full tilt. It is pursued by three
others, all desperate to overtake it.
Suddenly, without warning, the car
slams into the wall at full speed. The
three pursuers, unable to avoid
disaster, also crash at full speed.
What had a second earlier been four
precision, well-oiled racing machines is
now a pile of twisted metal and burned
rubber. Another spectacular, tragic
and all to frequent racing accident had
just occurred, causing hundreds of
'Teenagers love to come
and race because they
can't afford to own a race
car. So for about two
dollars (the cost of a 15

minute run), they can
have the feel of handling
a racer.' -Len Abbeduto,
owner of Abbey's

Race Track
thousands of dollars in damages and
claiming several lives. Right?
WELL, NOT exactly. The crash that
just occurred didn't happen at
Indianapolis or Daytona Beach. It
happened in Ann Arbor. The race cars
were not powered by hundreds of
horses costing thousands of dollars.
Instead, they were powered by four one
and a quarter volt batteries, costing
about $35.00 each.
No drivers were in the cars, but
