The Michigan Daily-Friday, September 8, 1978-Page 3A IF'u SEE WS AMPEN CALL NLY Filthy Chauvinism When it comes to politics in France, there's no doubt that the women play much dirtier than the men-but it's not their fault. The French National Assembly in Paris provides showers, a barber, and indoor and outdoor toilet facilities. Florence d'Harcourt is trying to change that by asking Assembly President Jacques Delmas to have a separate shower installed and to add a hairdresser to the staff. "A modern parliament must take the feminine presence into~ con- sideration and make the same facilities accessible to all," she said. Alas, another male stronghold goes down the drain. The greatest mayor of all time? While former heavyweight champ Muhammad Ali may be thinking about Leon Spinks' false teeth, some Louisville citizens have something else in mind: running Ali for Mayor of the city. A group of ten people in that city have started a campaign by running ads and recruiting people interested in making The Mouth the next head of their city. While current mayor William Stansbury does not face re- electipn for three years, controversy surrounding his recent work may force him out of office before his term expires. Observers speculate Ali would add a lot of punch to the city's politics.

Judg~e hearts Council By PAULA LASHINSKY Washtenaw County Circuit Court Judge Henry Conlin heard arguments Wednesday concerning the con- stitutionality of the state's Open Meetings Act, the subject of a suit filed by three Democratic Ann Arbor City Council members. Filed in early June, the suit charges the seven Republican Council members with violating the act by holding a closed conference. CITY ATTORNEY Bruce Laidlaw, who is defending the Republicans, presented the major argument against the Democrats, stating that the act in- fringes on the right of political association. "What would be the use of a local political party if it can't meet and ex- change ideas?" asked Laidlaw. The suit, filed by Democrats Leslie Morris, (2nd Ward), Susan Greenberg (1st Ward), and Ken Latta (1st Ward), requests that amendments to the city budget, passed before a full Council on May 23; be stricken from the record. The Democrats claim the Republicans discussed the amendments at a private meeting the previous evening. Coun- cilman Earl Greene, the only other Democrat on Council, says he does not question the activity. CONLIN SAID striking the budget from the record would "almost be an exercise in futility." If that action is taken, the City Charter requires that the budget previously prepared by the city administrator be adopted. "I question whether it is in the best interest of the public to go back to the July 1 budget, a budget prepared by just one man," Conlin said. The amendments in question would provide more money for city streets, reinstate a fall leaf pick-up service and initiate a city-wide tornado warning system. CONLIN CALLED Wednesday's hearing to discuss three constitutional questions involved in the case: First Amendment rights, equal protection, and due process. The Democrat's attorney Jerold Lax, said Laidlaw has "turned the First Amendment on its head." "The idea of th to promote fre change of politica also pointed out v vious differenc gathering where and a formal me business is discus ACCORDING t Attorney Genera who spoke on beh there is no reason point.

Sailor solos Atlantic CROSSHAVEN, Ireland (UPI) - W. Carl Jackson has triumphed over the Atlantic, matching every sailor's dream with a two-month solo ocean crossing in a small sailboat, and he says it was a "beastly" experience he'll never try again. The exhausted, 55-year-old navigator steered into Crosshaven harbor Wed- nesday morning, completing the voyage that began July 8 in Mar- blehead, Mass., aboard his 30-foot ketch Carla Mia. THE WORST part of the time alone at sea, the Indiana University dean said after he toasted his success with a sip of brandy, was the solitude. "I found the loneliness of the second month almost excruciating," Jackson said. "I always though of myself as self- sufficient, but I found life without people had no meaning. I had a definite need for somebody to talk to, someone real and alive and breathing. Most of the last month of his trip was spent in calm air that barely nudged the Carla Mia toward Europe. Jackson said he was happy to have been able to complete the 51-day crossing - taking into account time spent in port in Nova Scotia for repairs - and that while he loves sailing he would never undertake a similar ven- ture alone again.
