I'YCO SEE NDS HAPELN CL>W
The early bird gets the worm
The art of scalping has taken on a new twist-advance sales. In
the usual last-minute confusion over tickets yesterday morning, one
ambitious young man decided to get ahead and take advantage of the
ticket-hungry crowds walking by the Michigan Union. Figuring that
the passersby were in the buying mood, the enterprising hawker
yelled out, "Who wants Ohio State tickets? Get your Ohio State tickets,
now!" Hope Woody Hayes didn't miss his chance.
Carter quits the race
President Carter quit ruinning early yesterday. No, he hasn't
quit the presidential race, only a 6.2 mile road race near Camp David.
Carter ran about four miles of the course before he began to tire, and
his physician, running alongside, suggested that the president give it
up. He is reportedly still in good physical shape, but who knows how
far he'll go in 1980.
Fonda gets cold shoulder
The Saratoga Springs School Board in New York this week
refused to allow Skidmore College to use the town's high school
auditorium for a speech by actress and political activist Jane Fonda.
Members of the school board, who have all refused comment on the
subject since their vote, based their decision on a policy that states the
use of facilities be denied to any person or organization whose presen-
ce could cause picketing, rioting or a disturbance of the peace or
anyone who plans to subvert or overthrow the government.
Spokespersons for the college said the speech, scheduled for October 4,
will probably be held on the Skidmore campus. Although the famous
activist could not be reached for comment, sources revealed that she
was not fond o' the move.
Dong-ding-dong?
Time is beginning finally to take its "toll" on 121-year-old London
landmark Big Ben. Engineers hurried to the famous clock towering
over Westminister Abbey yesterday when it struck a wrong chord and
lost its first note. It chimed "dong-ding-dong" instead of "ding-dong-
ding-dong." The strange sound was noticed in the quarter-hour chimes
preceding the 11 a.m. signal. "We don't know the explanation yet and
otherwise the clock .is going normally," said one official. And you
thought Burton Tower had the only clock with problems.

UN 'Year of Child'
The Michigan Daily-Sunday, September 16, 1979-Page 3

By CAROL KOLETSKY
On June 19 this year, children in
wheelchairs lined up outside Mott
Children's Hospital to raise a flag sent
to them by the United Nations, marking
the official opening of the International
Year of the Child (IYC) in Ann Arbor.
As part of the Ann Arbor tribute,
Assistant Secretary-General of the
United Nations and World IYC Chair-
woman Estafania Aldaba-Lim will
make her only stop in the U.S. on Thur-
sday, Sept. 20, 8 p.m. at Rackham
Auditorium. The presentation is the fir-
st of numerous IYC projects that will
take place in Ann Arbor in 1979.
THIS YEAR was designated the
IYC by President Carter and the United
Nations General Assembly. According
to a U.S. National Commission pam-
phlet on IYC, the "International Year"
theme explores a given policy area and
aims not to promote a world plan of ac-
tion, but initiate action at local levels.
Last spring, President-designate
Harold Shapiro formed a 10-member
committee composed of students and
faculty to help plan and sponsor projec-
ts for children on campus. The commit-
tee held a project proposal competition
for anyone in the University who
wished to submit entries. Proposals
were then reviewed over the summer
and more than six received funding.
Shapiro said he has made a firm
commitment to provide a budget for
funding more University projects for
children.
UNIVERSITY IYC Committee
Chairman John Hagen said the IYC
booth at the annual Street Art Fair in
July, children's health exhibits in the
center of Briarwood Mall, the Dance
Department's production of the
children's dance "The Unicorn and the
Record," are recent examples of Ann
Arbor's and the University's new com-
mitment to the IYC.
Various departments all over campus
are drumming up ideas for the IYC,
Tanya Kushing, assistant to Shapiro,
said. Kushing said the School of Natural
Resources is planning a curriculum for
elementary schools which deal with the
environment, and the Psychology
Department is planning a study on
"Black Families and the Medium of
Television."
Kushing added that the Center for
Russian and East European Studies
plans to schedule a lecture on "Com-
parative Soviet and Adolescent
Behavior."
The old firehouse across from city
hall is being converted over the next
year to an experimental "HandstOn"
museum in which :children can touch
and handle exhibits to their heart's con-
tent.
WITH THE start of a new academic
year, Hagen said the committee is
ready to widen interest in the IYC on
campus even further. Both on the
national and local level in Ann Arbor,
the IYC has been extended through
June, 1980.
THROUGHOUT THE year, Hagen
said the committee plans to sponsor
lectures, which may include such great
speakers as pediatrician-author Helen
Caldicott, a specialist on the effects of
nuclear energy on developing children
and Martin Wright Edelman, Director
of the Children's Defense Fund.
The committee will print a newsletter
and prepare a full calendar of events.
Funds remain for additional projects,
and the committee is welcoming
project proposals until Oct. 15. Hagen
said all projects will be voted on and
announced by the University Board of
Regents.
HAGEN ADDED that the group wan-
ts "to involve all units of the University,
and include both an academic and a
celebration approach in defining this
International Year."
Hagen said next Thursday evening's
program will begin with a multi-media
presentation, written and produced by
a crew at the Michigan Media Resource
Center. Shapiro will speak on what the
University is presently doing for
children, and the University's future
plans.
After the presentation, Lim will
speak on the global implicationsof
Year of the Child, stressing the

necessity of increasing our awareness

will improve their quality of life.
Hagen- said Lim has already visited
50 countries on her IYC tour. She is a
Ph.D. graduate in clinical psychology
from the University in 1942, the Univer-
sity's winner of the "Most Outstanding
Achievement Award" in 1965, and
author of numerous books and studies
about children's problems.
Lim will lead an open question and
answer session for all interested
students and faculty on Friday after-
noon, Sept. 28, in Angell Hall, Aud. C.
She and a faculty panel of child-
welfare,child abuse, child health, and
other children's specialists will answer
questions on the UN, UNESCO, and the
IYC.
