For potential presidential- can- didates, the 1978 elections have also been a chance to build up some political I.O.U.'s across the country. Vice- President Walter Mondale, Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, ind even Jimmy Carter on the Democratic side have criss-crossed the country for their party's candidates. On keep Iti teGOP side, Gerald Ford, Robert Dole, John Connally, Ronald Reagan and George Bush have all been busy stumping for local Republican tickets. The campaign appearances by the heAvy-hitters were seen by most political observers as a popularity con- test, or a political lithmus test, for the 1980 presidential sweepstakes.

Should Milliken survive the most formidable political challenge of his career - from State Sen. William Fitzgerald - he will become the nation's second senior governor and a major voice in the Republican party. Representative John Anderson of Illinois, among others, is one who is championing a Milliken presidential bid. At a campaign swing through Grand Rapids for a congressional can- didate, Anderson told a reporter that Milliken is the only GOP governor who has been able to identify with the plight of the nation's cities, organized labor, and minorities. 1iilliken himself is keeping his own ambitions private, saying publically that he has no designs on higher office -yet. WHOEVER WINS the governorship here in today's voting will likely have a Democratic state house of the same majority as before. The GOP seems unlikely to make any inroads into the Milliken-F- (Continued from Page 1) races. The latest Market Opinion Research poll, released yesterday by the Detroit News and WJBK-TV, showed Governor William Milliken leading Fitzgerald 47 to 45 per cent, with 8 per cent un- decided. That prediction puts the race in a dead heat. EARLIER, IN their second and final televised debate, Milliken and Fit- zgerald angrily bickered over the PBB issue for 15 minutes, ignoring the moderator's pleas to move on to other topics. Fitzgerald, a Democratic state senator from Detroit, accused the in- cumbent Republican of "wrapping yourself in the flag of Michigan" to REGENCY TRAVEL PRESENTS AIR ONLY SPECIALS Democrats' current majority. Only in the state senate does the GOP realistically expect to make some tangible gains. The game-plan for cap- turing control of the senate rests. on: " Republicans keeping the 14 seats they now hold; " Taking away five key Democratic seats, including the two seats formerly held by Democrats John Otterbacher and Anthony Derezinski; and " Seeing Milliken re-elected, giving the Republicans the tie-breaking lieutenant governor's vote. Democrats now have a 24-14 majority and have controlled the chamber for four years. About 5,000 of the nation's 7,562 state houses are currently held by Democrats. The national GOP is worried about what will happen to congressional districts when the Democratic-controlled state legislatures begin redistricting after the 1980 census. itzgerald d protect himself from criticism of how he handled the PBB aftermath. "THE SITTING on his duff for 24 long months allowed tons and tons of con- taminants to enter the food chain in this state," Fitzgerald charged. "The point is, you didn't respond." Mildken, however, defended his han- dling of the matter, emphasizing that PBB is no longer a , problem in Michigan. He said Fitzgerald, who was the state Senate's majority leader at the height of the PBB controversy, only discovered PBB when it was politically expedient for him to do so-during the 1978 campaign. "Where was Senator Fitzgerald when we needed him to help lower the tolerance level?; " Milliken asked. THE 56-YEiR-OLD governor said "what is important to note is that PBB is out of the food chain." The hour-long debate was taped Sun- day at WKAR-TV studios in East Lan- sing for broadcast later Sunday and yesterday. The most heated exchange between the two came after Milliken said he would accept a pay raise only if it reflected the cost of living increase and he had rejected such increases three or four times. Fitzgerald said he would not hesitate to accept a raise if it was a fair one. "I SUPPOSE IF I were a millionaire department store owner from Traverse By ELISA ISAACSON University voter registration has ex- ceeded last year's total by 75 per cent, due to local bars seeking to defeat the ballot proposal to raise the drinking age to 21. "A large number of students, as they, were registering, said 'I'm doing this to vote against Proposal D'," said Leah Gunn, vice-chairperson of the city's Democratic party. THE REGISTRATION boom can also be attributed to the typical workhorse efforts of local Democrats. "We just went to every door we could, and we set up voter registration stations," said Gunn. Former City Councilman Jamie Kenworthy, coordinator of the Democrats' registration campaign, said the increase "should help" but said students have been voting less for the Democratic party since the late 1960s. "SINCE THE end of the Vietnam War, young people less and less think of [ebate held City, I might not accept a raise," Fit- zgerald commented. "That was a gratuitous comment to make," Milliken snapped.. "That was a gratuitous offer," Fit- zgerald retorted, referring to his op- ponent's rejection of the pay raise. MILLIKEN ALSO challenged what he said were statements by Fitzgerald that he would fire all 19 state depar- tment heads if he were elected. He said only 10 such people could be ousted by the governor since the others are either electred or appointed by commissions. Fitzgerald denied every saying he would fire department heads beyond the authority of the governor's office. But Milliken wouldn't drop the issue so fast. "I have very clear documentation of Senator Fitzgerald's repeated statements to that effect (that he would fire all 19 department heads)," the governor stated. DESPITE THEIR sharp disagreements over PBB, the two found themselves enunciating similar stances on some side issues. Both said they would oppose a referendum to cancel motor vehicle weight taxes that were approved by the legislature in September. The can- didates also questioned the disposal of nuclear wastes in the state and said they were against offshore drilling for oil and gas in the Great Lakes. themselves as a separate category," said Kenworthy. The former councilman speculates the increase in student registration is also due to "young persons making up for the fact that they did not register when they were at their parents' houses during the summer." Kenworthy added that during years of a presidential election, students don't register but this year's drinking age proposal on the ballot prompted them to register when they returned to school in September. ALTHOUGH not formally organizing a drive to increase student registration, local Republicans have urged them to vote Republican and reverse the students' traditional Democratic alliance. But Bill Kearns, Republican Rep. Carl-Pursell's press secretary, said the. increase is "great and the more people: who vote, the better the decisions." Kearns said the rise in student registration doesn't threaten Pursell"s " chances for re-election and stressed that more students should be registered, regardless of their political loyalties. "Even if we are threatened, that's the way it should be,"said Kearns.

WILUAM (CORNER MAYNARO) ANN ARBOR, MICH. 48104. STI. Headlee By SHELLEY WOLSON Although the race for the 53rd district's state representative hasn't, been characterizedby the vicious back- biting of other campaigns, it never- theless has had its share of debate and:. disagreement. It's the issues that separate the two, candidates in this race, with incumbent Democrat Perry Bullard facing - Republican challenger and political newcomer Doug Buchanan. But Buchanan also faces another tough-. issue-Bullard's record as an experien- ced legislator. THE HEADLEE proposal, which,; would limit state taxes and spending to the present 9.5 per cent of Michigan's combined personal income, has been Bullard and Buchanan's major issue of disagreement. Bullard has repeatedly warned voters that Headlee's passage will cut into education and social service funds., Bullard is also worried over the treat- ment of the aged, which he says will not improve if Headlee is implemented. Buchanan, however, says Headlee. will not affect funds for education. His a major campaign thrust has been to. echo the general Republican desire to cut down on government spending. OTHER ISSUES the two state representative hopefuls are divided on include divestiture of University holdings with corporations that operate in South Africa, and proposal A, which vould reconvene the state con- stitutional convention. Bullard supports the proposal and divestiture, while Buchanan objects to both. Bullard also favors an economic boycott of states who haven't ratifie'd the ERA, while Buchanan, though he favors ratification, opposes such boycotts. Bullard and Buchanan hold similar views on marijuana, with Buchanan favoring immediate legalization and Bullard calling for decriminalization as, a first step. The state candidates also. agree on the need for more government, involvement in solar and nuclear research. But 27-year-old Buchanan's major obstacle has been to overcome his op- ponent's six years worth of familiarity, w with the voters. Buchanan chose., to.. conduct a strict door-to-door campaign,.. covering every precinct in the 53rd district.t. The 36-year-old Bullard, meanwhile, made appearances at several fun-. draisers and organizations, with dorms, serving one of his major priorities, sin- ce he worried about incoming freshper- sons' unfamiliarity with his record.
