1i" S. Q. cleans up its act Deservedly or not, South Quad seems to have earned quite a reputation for itself over the years. But now the folks over there are making a concerted effort to clean up the dorm's image. So Building 'Director Mary Bewley was upset when we reported Wednesday that a food fight disrupted a mock political rally in the South Quad cafeteria. She said we were mistaken; no food fight took place. Though known in the past for-among other things-its food fights, "We haven't had any yet this year," Bewley prouded reported. What's more, she said, "The ca mpaign was a fun thing," and should have enhanced the dorm's much-maligned reputation. We apologize for the error. Drink-off runs dry The great Ann Arbor Drink-off never came about. A few weeks back, Cameron Magoon, Tom Stack, Pete Sheridan and Dirk Sawusch decided to hold a drinking contest in Ann Arbor, but not in one spot. Rather, three-person teams were established with the objective to consume an alcoholic beverage in every drinking establishment in town this weekend-a total of 63 watering holes. "We wanted the young-uns to go out puking," Magoon said, referring to the recently adopted drinking age hike. However, economics took over. Along with the $20 entering fee, each team had to finance its own thirst, which would be at least another $65. The group still hopes to pull the drink-a- thon off at the end of the semester when people have time to accumulte the necessary capital. Burger business blues They may "do it all for you" at McDonalds or Burger King, but those smiling employees aren't exactly thrilled with their jobs. A survey shows the people behind the counter of the nation's fast food emporiums rate their work above that of garbage collectors, but below most other jobs. The fast food bosses aren't too happy, either, according to the report. They rate their jobs below those of embalmers, real estate agents, and technical teachers. One local manager is content, though. Burger King manager Kevin Sparks said he liked his job. "I enjoy my work. Believe me, if I didn't, I wouldn't be here." O.K . Have it your way, Kevin. Better late than never You can't blame a guy for trying. But evidently Mike Conlin's efforts came a little too late. Conlin, a Republican state representative from Jackson, failed Tuesday in his attempt to capture U.S. Rep. Bob Carr's (D-East Lansing) 6th Congressional district seat. Voters in the district-which" includes part. of Washtenaw County-reported receiving "Conlin Grams" in the mail yesterday requesting their votes-a full three days after the election. Or maybe Conlin was trying to jump the gun and get an early start for 1980... Take ten u While President-elect Richard Nixon and out-going Chief Execu- tive Lyndon Johnson were announcing in Washington that the Johnson administration could speak for the next administration on foreign policy, Nov. 11, 1968, 11 Detroit youths, described by police as "hippy types," were arrested and charged with conspiring to bomb public facilities in le Detroit area. The arrests followed an investigation by 40 to 50 police and FBI agents of 16 dynamite bombings in two months, including two in Ann Arbor-'A CIA office on Main Street and the University's Institute for Science and Technology.

Take your pick First came the dorm lottery. Then the football ticket lottery. Thursday night was the lottery for basketball tickets. And now a med school lottery? They use the luck of the draw in the Netherlands to divvy up admissions places in med schools and other related fields. But now new government officials are thinking of doing away with the systemi because they don't feel it produces the best candidates. "We do not think that it is an honest criterion, and we would like to put a greater emphasis on more substantial admission material," Aaron Pais, minister of education and science, is quoted as saying in the current Chronicle of Higher Education. The lottery was adopted three years ago because the number of applicants far exceeded the number of places availble in the country medical, dental and veterinary schools. The spaces aren't allotted purely by chance, _ however; the system is weighted to favor students with the best grades. Pais said a committee is now studying alternatives to the lottery. Might we suggest standing in line to receive spots on a first come, first served basis? That was always a favorite around here. The Michigan Daily-Saturday, November 11, 1978-Page 3 REGULA TIONS, FUNDING BLAMED: Govt.-research relations decline By MITCH CANTOR University President Robben Flem- ing yesterday said the relationship between the federal government and the nation's research institutions is deteriorating, blaming the rift on increased regulation and allocations which are not keeping up with the cost increases. Fleming was echoing the sentiments of Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Jerome Wiesner, who earlier in the day said the federal- academic relationship is "floundering." "I THINK ALL of us have felt the federal government is increasingly . .. moving in with regulations, some of which we (University administrators) think are more burdensome than helpful. Most of us think regulation has gone too far," Fleming said. The chief administrator also pointed out that while government funding for university research has gone up in the last eight years, it has not kept up with inflation. Fleming did temper his statement, however, saying that conditions in both areas may soon be getting better. He said some problems have been remedied in the last year, and several members of President Carter's administration are advocating increases in university research funds. UNIVERSITY Vice-President for Reseach Charles Overberger said more regulation and less funding for research are not necessarily hurting the link between the government and the universities. "There's a trend toward more regulation in every aspect of American .::........... 'I think all of us have felt the federal gover- nment is increasingly .. . moving in with regulations ... Most of us do think regulation has gone t00 far.' -Robben Fleming life. We are at a stage where the government understandsthat the universities are a great resource," Overberger said. He added that the universities must work even closer with government when disagreements arise. "We need to work for a better relationship," he said. HAROLD SHAPIRO, Vice-President for Academic Affairs, said the problem is one which has been developing during the last decade. He said government has been concentrating on cutting back on spending, and research was one of the first areas affected. While the vice-president says the' situation falls short of a "crisis," he is not satisfied with the present situation. "Research and development .is something which you spend the ,meney on today, and the payoff comes in the next generation. We (the U.S.) are not competing with the Japanese and- the Germans in some markets."
