The committee voted 9-6 in favor of the arms treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union. But SALT faces a major battle in the Senate, where conservatives have charged it tilts power toward the Russians. THE TREATY would limit the United States and Soviet Union to 2,250 strategic bombers and missile laun- chers and impose a number of other Students file for, LSA-SG elections By CHARLES THOMSON Dozens of students have filed as can- didates for the upcoming LSA student government (LSA-SG) elections, set- ting what may be a record number of students vying for seats in the gover- nment.' Forty-one people have filed for 15 positions on the LSA-SG executive council and two slates have named candidates for president and vice president. The application deadline for the November 19 and 20 election was last Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Theinumber of candidates who applied by that time, according to retiring LSA-SG Vice President Kathy Friedman, may have set a record. "IT'S CERTAINLY the largest num- ber of candidates to run for LSA-SG since I became involved," Friedman said yesterday, "and that's about four years." Two parties, the Student Alliance for Better Representation (SABRE) and Studentsw for Academic and In- stitutional Development (SAID), have sponsored slates for the presidency. The presidential candidate from SABRE is James Adams, a junior studying political science and current special projects coordinator for the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA). His running mate is another MSA member, David Trott. Both SABRE representatives have filed as can- didates for executive council seats as well as the presidential and vice- presidential slots. SAID's candidate for the presidency is current LSA-SG member Dan Soloman, an LSA junior: His running mate is Kim Brower. ADAMS SAID that while he thinks the See STUDENTS, Page 7 restrictions on nuclear arsenals. The Senate is expected to take up the treaty around Thanksgiving, with a final vote coming in late December or early January. Committee Chairman Frank Church (D-Idaho), voted in favor of the treaty shortly after warning yesterday that rejection would only move the United States "closer to the edge of the abyss." SEN. JESSE Helms (D-N.C.), voted against it. "American public reaction to the recent events in Iran indicates our people are tired of being kicked and being second and third best," Helms said. The Soviet Union said earlier it will not approve major changes in the treaty. But the committee's 22 recom- mendations deal mainly with technical details and are, not expected to cause the Soviets to object or force a reopening of negotiations. VOTING FOR the treaty were Chur- ch and Sens. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.); George McGovern (D-S.D.); Charles Percy (R-Ill.); Edmund Muskie (D- Maine); Edward Zorinski (D-Neb.); Claiborne Pell (D-R.l.); Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.); and Joseph Biden (D-Del.). Those voting against were Helms and Sens. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.); John Glenn (D-Ohio); Richard Stone (D-' Fla.); S..I. Hayakawa (R-Calif.); and Richard Lugar (R-Ind.). One of the most serious recommen- dations, which the White House finally accepted, was a reservation con- ditioning the treaty on President Car- ter's assuring the Senate that Soviet troops in Cuba are not a threat and have no combat role. Other recommendations stress the U.S. right to continue technical cooperation with NATO countries and require the administration to report regularly on Soviet compliance and other matters. WHO WILL BE NEXT CITY ADMINISTRATOR: A2 candidates unveiled THESE MEMBERS of the University of Minnesota's Muslim Student Association were pelted by snowballs while protesting the deposed Shah of Iran's presence in the U.S. Some 200 American students told the 35 protesters to go home during the snowball barrage.

Korn-Ferry International, a Los Angeles-based personnel, firm, selected the finalists, all of whom are managers of cities smaller than Ann Arbor and live in several regions of the nation. Four of the six candidates manage cities that, like Ann Arbor, are college towns. THE SIX FINALISTS are: Neal Berlin, Iowa City, Iowa; John Elwell, St. Louis Park, Minnesota; Lawrence Gish, Stillwater, Oklahoma; Alan Harvey, Vancouver, Washington; William Kirchhoff, Wheaton, Illinois; and Terry Sprenkle, Ames, Iowa. City Council members will interview the candidates in- dividually in a public session beginning at 8 9.m. today at Campus Inn. Mayor Louis Belcher said he hoped Council will reach a decision on a permanent successor to former admin- strator Sylvester Murray by Wedesday or Thursday. After six years as adminsitrator, Murray, 38, left Ann Arbor in September to become city manager of Cincinnati.

One finalist-Nealp Berlin-graduated from the University of Michigan. The candidates have been described as fiscal experts by spokespersons .in their communities. At least three of the candidates have instituted some form of zero-based budgeting (ZBB), a management system introduced for the first time in Ann Arbor's Police Department last year. It will be expanded to include half the city's departments this year. The states of Iowa and Oklahoma require that cities there have some form of ZBB. Mayor Belchr said he would "give council two or three days to mull over their interviews," before asking, for a decision. "I'm going to try to get a consensus out of council," Belcher said, and make an offer to the. candidate by next week. See HOPEFULS, Page 10 nst President Carter held an emotional meeting yesterday with families of Americans held hostage in Iran, and a short time later, the State Department said it had "no new hope" that the cap- tives will be freed any time soon. A White House spokesperson said the president had offered the families reassurance. But shortly after the meeting, State Department spokesman Hodding Carter told reporters there appeared to be no quick end to the crisis in sight. CARTER AND relatives of the Americans held hostage in Tehran urged people to control their outrage, Iran because it could endanger their countrypersons. After the session, Carter and the families issued a joint statement calling for restraint. White House press secretary Jody Powell, who accompanied Carter to the meeting, said the families showed no animosity to the president, made no ac- cusatory statements and did not ask that the shah be turned over to Iran.
