Senate Minority leader Howard Baker (R-Tenn.), often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate in 1980, won re-election to a third term, defeating Democrat Jane Eskind han- dily. IN MASSACHUSETTS, however, in- cumbent Republican Senator Edward Brooke did not fare as well. Brooke, the only black in the Senate, lost his bid for a third term to Democratic Rep. Paul Tsongas. Brooke was hampered by his confession of misstating his finances in a divorce case. In Detroit, Democratic Rep. Charles Diggs, the nation's senior black congressman, easily won election to a 13th term despite his conviction last month on federal payroll padding and mail fraud charges. In Mississippi, Republican Thad Cochran, a congressman from Jackson, emerged victorious from a three-way Senate race including Democrat Maurice Dantin and Independent Charles Evers, brother of the slain civil rights leader, Medgar. IN MINNESOTA, Republican Rudy Boschwitz, 47, defeated Democrat Wendall Anderson, 45, the former governor who designated himself to fill the vacancy created by Walter Mon- dale's ascension to the vice presidency. Anderson's self-appointment was con- sidered a key element in his defeat. Illinois Republican Sen. Charles Per- cy, who was behind by as much as seven points last week, pulled ahead in the final stages and defeated Democratic challenger Alex Seith. Percy's victory was tied to voter con- fidence in his long-established family name and a huge media blitz in the final days of the campaign, backed by his personal fortune. Percy was not the only one to take advantage of his personal wealth to gain reelection. Republican Sen. Jesse Helms of South Carolina spent most of the $6 million in campaign funds he had collected in defeating his opponent. OTHER NOTABLE Senate race vic- tors were Democrat Bill Bradley, a Rhodes Scholar and former basketball star, in New Jersey, 69-year-old Republican Strom Thurmond in South Carolina. Incumbent Sen. Jon Tower (R-Texas) was upset by Democrat Robert Kruger. In the 36 governors races, the Democrats also maintained their over- whelming majority. Republican Albert Quie defeated Democrat Rudy Perpich for the Min- nesota governorship. DEMOCRAT Ella Grasso, one of only two women governors, maintained a comfortable margin over her opponent throughout the night in her successful bid for reelection. Late last night, incumbent Democratic Governor Jerry Brown of California appeared the winner. Brown, was hoping for a landslide to fuel his bid for the 1980 presidency, and early returns suggested such an outcome. In, New York, Democratic Governor Hugh Carey won a difficult struggle for reelection. His hlandling of state finan- ces, especially with respect to New York City, although hotly contested during the campaign, were 'apparently approved by the voters. Proposals to limit taxes or spending won strong support last night in early returns from Alabama, Illinois, Missouri and Texas, as residents of 16 states voted on questidns affecting the amount of money they give to gover- nment and how-it is spent.

Contact Lens Center 525 W.14 Mile Road across from Oakland Malil, Tel. 588-8200 @ 1978 Opticks Inc., Dallas, Texas By THOMAS O'CONNELL A three-day teach-in on current conditions in Mexico opened last night before a sizable crowd at Schorling Auditorium. Several speakers attacked repression by the Mexican government and United States interference in the country's affairs. Mexico may be "one of tomorrow's Vietnams," warned James Cockcroft, professor of sociology at Rutgers University and a noted scholar on Latin American affairs. Cockcroft opened the teach-in, which is being sponsored by the Ann Arbor Committee for Human Rights in Latin America. ATTACKING WHAT he termed the "holy triumvirate" that controls Mexico-the Mexican -state, the Mexican bourgeoisie and U.S. im- perialism-Cockcroft asserted that social upheaval inithe country, com- bined with the United States' need to protect its economic interests there, could result in a situation similar to v Vietnam. Cockcroft went on to detail the historical background of the fiscal, political, and clhss conflict crises which currently afflict Mexico, and their relation to the widespread poverty ex- perienced by much of the population. Since World War II, he noted, the ruling political party in Mexico-the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)-has permitted the formation of a system of repression in order to main- tain its dominance. THE MEXICAN military, Cockcroft claimed, has become a virtually autonomous organization, with the power to carry out repressive acts in order to contain socialunrest. Cockcroft was followed at the podium by Sheldon Liss, a professor of history at the University of Akron, who focused on the role U.S. intelligence agencies play idiMexican affairs. "The U.S. will not tolerate even a vaguely leftist government in Mexico," Liss asserted. For this reason, he ex- plained, the U.S. strongly supports the Mexican police and military in protec ting the established social order. TAKING SOME of his information from documents released under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, Liss went on to detail the widespread in- filtration by the CIA 'and FBI into Mexican student and labor organizations, and even the Mexican government. The FBI, Liss explained, ha's sought to disrupt organizations which threaten U.S. economic interests, and has even, tried to break alliances. between American Chicano leaders and labor leaders in Mexico. The teach-in will continue tonight ati 7:30 in Schorling Auditorium at the School of Education. Featured will be exiles from Mexico speaking about their own cases.

He cited dif- the stand," explained Medvedev, whose Soviet passport was revoked when visiting London in 1973. MEDVEDEV EMPHASIZED that violations of human rights are widespread in the Soviet Union. He focused on the lack of freedom by scien- tists to travel abroad or to work in other countries. Basic rights guaranteed by the United Nations are disregarded when traveling privileges are prohibited without a special decision by the Cen- tral (Communist) Party Committee, he said. says activist Medvedev said that if the goverI nment allowed all citizens to leave the country freely, "only Brezhnev would remain." The activist, who now resides in Lon- don, wrote "A Question of Madness," an account of his month-long stay in a Soviet mental hospital where he was placed by the government for his 'out- spokenness. HE ADDED that President Carter's human rights policy is positive, but when changes occur within Russia, it will be the Soviets' choice and not because of outside pressure. Threats such as the United States' refusal to sell grain to the Russians will not make much difference, according to Medvedev. "All Russians won't starve if the United States doesn't sell its grain," he said.
