RHODESIA \: ' See editorial page N'invelY Years of Editorial Freedom 1Ekzi1 ROSY See Today for details Vol. LXXXX, No. 63 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, November 17, 1979 Ten Cents Ten Pages Iran threatens 'harsh' action Regents O.K. release of salaries From UPI, Reuter, and AP TEHRAN,,Iran - To the cheers of 100,000 Iranians chanting "Down. with America," Moslem militants yesterday threatened "harsher" measures again- st the hostages in the U.S. Embassy if the shah is moved to any country but Iran. The threat was the first since Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini reprimanded the students last week for threatening to kill the hostages if the United States attempted any rescue. SEVERAL THOUSAND Iranian Marxists joined the crowd today in a massive demonstration of support for the students holding the hostages. It was the first time since the November 4 storming of the embassy that members of the Marxist Fedayeen-I-Khalq movement had, joined the daily anti- American demonstrations around the occupied compound. As the war of nerves between Washington and Khomeini's regime went through its 13th day, President Carter called on outraged Americans to refrain from abusing innocent Iranians in the United States. Carter canceled a trip to Florida and a Thanksgiving vacation in Georgia because of the crisis, but reassured Americans that there was "no reason to panic" about potential fuel shortages following his decision to ban Iranian oil imports. A FEDERAL judge in Washington yesterday ordered Carter to lift a ban he imposed against parades and demonstrations by Iranian students. In issuing the temporary restraining order, U.S. District Court Judge Aubrey Robinson said the government had failed to prove that American hostages in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran would be endangered if Iranian demon- strators were attacked by American bystanders. The government is expected to ap- peal against the ruling, and an appeals court decision could come today. FEDERAL AGENTS yesterday in- vestigated an anonymous telephone call that said Iranians were responsible for a bomb that exploded aboard a U.S. airliner in flight yesterday, forcing an emergency landing.. Iranian students keep low profile By JEFFREY WOLFF The seizure of the American embassy in Iran has once again focused local at- tention on the University's ap- proximately 250 Iranian students, the largest contingent of foreign students on campus. But now, less than nine months after the fall of the Shah of Iran, the Iranian students on campus are conspicuous mainly by their lack of visibility, - political organization, and political ac- tivity. See UNIVERSITY, Page 7 By JULIE ENGEBRECHT The Regents yesterday grudgingly agreed to comply with a npw state law and release the name-linked salary records of University faculty and staff. Voting 7-0 (Regent Deane Baker, R- Ann Arbor, was absent) to make salaries public, the Regents said they believed they had no choice but' to acquiesce to the state law. They have' had a long-standing policy of refusing to release name-linked salary infor- mation. INTERIM UNIVERSITY President Allan Smith said the executive officers would make decisions on the requests Monday, and some response will be made early next week to those asking for salary information. He said the University would probably make a copy of the list available in the University library. "It is extremely ill-advised," Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey) said of the amendment to the state Freedom of In' formation Act that spurred yesterday's decision. "All of the information which will be given has basically been available in other forms." Brown said he could foresee problems for the University in competing for top-flight people and internal problems created by the disclosure. "It is an extremely poor judgment on the part of the legislature and shows a lack of understanding of this in- stitution," Brown said.

"If you look hard enough," said SABRE's campaign manager Dave Fantera, "you can find a person on SABRE who you agree with on a few things." Fantera says SABRE can- didates "range from pretty conser- vative to relatively liberal." WITHIN A "certain framework," the party's 17 candidates for the LSA student government Executive Council are free to take varying positions on campus issues, Fantera said. Comments by several of the party's candidates supported the Fantera assertion on the party's diversity of views. "There are just some things I don't agree with," said N. Michael Dudyn- skay, a SABRE candidate of hiq view of positions held by many SABRE can- didates. "If everybody else votes the party line, and it's something I don't think a majority of people want, I'll vote against it." Dudynskay described himself as "conservative." ANOTHER SABRE candidate, Susan Labes, said she does not stick to a strict party line on certain issues. "I see Sparty myself as representing a 'new breed' of SABRE," Labes wrote on a position statement. "In the past, SABRE has taken a very moderate stand on many issues. Although my own ideologies are also fairly moderate, I feel that SABRE needs to take on a new attitude. The students want action; SABRE has been too much talk for too long." The party's other candidates for LSA- SG executive council are freshpersons Barbara Boghosian, Chuck Vincent, Lauri Slavitt, and Michael Miles; sophomores Robert Jordan, David Trott, Amy Hartmann, and Julie Foster; and juniors Douglas Parker, Mary Law, Tricia Valenti, Kenneth Vest, J. P. Adams, Laura Munn,_ and John Wasung. Adams and Trott are also running for LSA-SG president and vice-president, respectively. Peterson cancelled The Oscar Peterson concert, originally scheduled for 8:30 tomorrow night at Hill Auditorium, has been postponed. Tickets will be honored at an as- yet unscheduled future perfor- mance, according to Eclipse Jazz promotion coordinator Roger Cramer. . Cramer said Peterson has been delayed in Mississauga, Ontario, where the performer was evacuated from his home earlier this week after derailed train cars posed a threat of con- taminating the area with poisonous gas. Some 4,000 people had tickets for the concert. Cramer said a refund policy has not been established, but he encouraged patrons to keep their tickets for a rescheduled performance. compares By PATRICIA HAGEN Terry Sprenkel has been on the phone for days. Everyone, it seems, wants to know his plans for his final months in Ames, Iowa and what he will do when he moves on to Ann Arbor in January. But Sprenkel, the Ames city manager who was chosen to be Ann Arbor's third city administrator on Monday, doesn't know the solutions for the city's problems yet. "I can't sit here in Ames and tell you what the answers are (for Ann Arbor)," Sprenkel said. So until he moves here with his family, he said, "I'll be doing a lot of reading and a lot of studying." BY MID-JANUARY the 21 year veteran of city government will be at the helm of Ann Arbor's ad- ministration. Sprenkel will supervise Ann Arbor's $43 million budget, 17 city departments and about 800 city em- ployees. As the link between city government and city departments.he will sit to the right of Mayor Louis Belcher at the Monday night Council meetings to offer his recommendations and answer council's questions about a plethora of city operations. In Ames, a university town that has been described as a small version of Ann Arbor, city council members and department heads say they are "sorry 2 Ames ISpre,,kdl .. prepares for Az job to see him go." They cite his financial expertise and the "open management" of his administration in the central Iowa town of 46,500. Ames Mayor Lee Fellinger says she "enjoyed working with Sprenkel in the four years he managed the city" which she descirbed as a "rapid growth" community. Ames' electric utility, and hospital are being expanded and a new water treatment plant is being con- structed. SPRENKEL'S recommendations to the city's nonpartisan city council are well thought out," Fellinger said, and See AMES, Page 2 FIRE UP!U Ufer, Bo highlight 'M' pep rally at Mudbowl By TIMOTHY YAGLE The excitement and tension that's been building on campus this week F'or (1 preriei' 0]f Tlie (;ame'USeeCPage 9 reached a peak last night in the Mud- bowl at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, as about 3,000 fans surrounded a blazing bonfire to cheer the Wolverines on to victory in today's Big Ten showdown for the roses. The rally was plagued from the outset by a faulty microphone system, but the annoying problem only slightly dam- pened the enthusiasm of the spectators. Emcee Jim Brandstatter, a University graduate and former All-American of- fensive tackle started the show a half hour late. During the delay, University cheerleaders led the crowd in a series of cheers. "THE WHOLE effect of these great former All-Americans is taken away (by the faulty microphone) because you can't hear what they are saying," com- plained one fan who was straining to hear. The boisterous crowd was treated to inspiring speeches by former band See UFER, Page 2 ( Daily Photo by PE ITR SERLm: SOME OF THlE 3,000 FRENZIED 'M' fans who let loose last night at the annual Michigan-Ohio State pep rally at the Mudbowl show their spirit.

"It seemed to be more of a stunt than anything else," said a teller at the bank, who asked to remain unidentified. Police, who refused to com- ment on the incident, hauled the foursome away but released them a short time later. Advice for the Regents Social Work Prof. Jesse Gordon knows exactly when to hit the University Regents for a favor. During last night's meeting with members of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA), some of the University's chief decision-makers expressed their feelings on the sear- I official a policy which the restaurant and bar has been practicing for months. The club's directors unanimously voted to make students members without requiring them'to pay dues, as has been the case in the past. Under the policy, a portion of students' mandatory Union fees will be fun- neled to the club. 4 Greetings from afar, Part I First it was Dr. Diag. Then former President Gerald Ford.
