Twenty five votes which were cast yesterday at the Fishbowl have been voided and a new election has been ten- tatively scheduled for February. PIRGIM-the Public Interest Research Group In Michigan-is fun- ded by University students on a volun- teer basis and is made up of five task forces which seek reforms in areas such as tenants rights, consumer protection and the environment. The local board coordinates the task forces which work in the Ann Arbor com- munity, however, PIRGIM is a state- wide organization. John Leone, a candidate for one of the seven open board seats in yesterday's scheduled election, said yesterday that he learned of the date of the election Sunday. '"They (PIRGIM) didn't have an exact date," said Leone. "I would say there is a little fault inside of PIRGIM" for the lack of publicity. PIRGIM Campus Coordinator Tom Moran, who is in charge of organizing the elections, agreed that PIRGIM did not sufficiently publicize the election. Moran said the organization had been j concentrating on several other projects recently and had not put much effort in- to organizing the election. Last month, PIRGIM began a petition drive to make changes in the city's $5 fine for un- deraged drinking. Moran said the group was also concentrating on a successful petitioning of the Regents last fall to limit the necessary percentage of students supporting PIRGIM from 33 per cent to 25 per cent. In addition, PIRGIM members were actively soliciting support from students during See PIRGIM, Page 10 Shah departs as Iranians celebrate TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, a weaping king driven from his kingdom, flew his royal jet out of Iran yesterday on a journey from ,which he may never return. His departure set off an explosion of joy by millions of his people. If his triumphant foes have their way, the shah's flight means the end of monar- chy in a land ruled by kings for 2,500 years. JUBILANT IRANIANS poured into Tehran's streets, singing and dancing, cheering each other in celebration of victory in the bloody year-long popular struggle against the man who has ruled their nation since 1941. "The shah is gone forever," they chanted. Motorists honked horns and flashed headlights. People waved por- traits of Ayatullah Khomaini, the bear- ded Moslem leader who marshaled a broad political and religious movement that forced the shah from the country. But not all Iranians rejoiced. Diplomatic sources said pro-shah soldiers fired at demonstrators in nor- thern Tehran and there had been some injuries. The reported violence pointed up the divisiveness that remains in Iran and may foreshadow continued blood- shed. THE 59-YEAR-OLD monarch took the controls himself and piloted his "Shah's Falcon" Boeing 727 jetliner in- to the bright skies over Tehran and on to Aswan, Egypt, where he was welcomed by President Anwar Sadat. A 21-gun salute was fired at Aswan airport and Egyptians lined the streets under banners saying "Welcome to the Shah." The monarch,who looked exhausted, was embraced by President Sadat on his arrival. "I AM FEELING tired and need a rest," the shah said before leaving Tehran's airport. A senior official present at his depar- ture said two army generals asked the shah not to go, but he replied: "I have to. It is in the interest of the country." The official said the shah was very distraught and near tears, but did not weep openly. HE IS EXPECTED to stay in Egypt for a few days before flying on to the United States for what is officially described as an "extended vacation." Reportedly he will meet in Aswan with former President Gerald Ford, who had long been scheduled to meet with Sadat there. In Washington, the State Department said it would welcome the shah on a visit in the United States. A spokesman said the visit would be unofficial but that did not preclude a ceremonial welcome and high-level talks. IN TEHRAN, Prime Minister Shapur Bakhtiar, who received a vote of con- fidence from the lower house of parliament just before the shah left Iran, issued a call for calm last night, saying: "This is the time to prove that the people of Iran deserve freedom and democracy." Dr. Bakhtiar, who became prime minister 10 days ago, said in a radio broadcast that he had ordered troops to arrest anyone taking undue advantage of the situation. "The people of Iran are on the brink of an abyss after 25 years of See IRAIANS, Page 7 AP Photo Iran's Moslem opposition leader, Ayatullah Khomaini, yesterday addressed supporters outside his Paris home. "The Shah's departure is the first step toward ending 50 years of the Pahlavi dynasty," the religious leader told reporters. Regents knock appointment plan By MITCH CANTOR Though a majority of the University's eight Regents has already blasted Governor William Milliken's advocacy for the appointment of Regents, the elected officials say they will take no action against the proposal because it has such a slim chance of becoming law. Milliken, in his State of the State ad- dress last Thursday in Lansing, called for legislation that would give the governor power to appoint the gover- ning boards of the University, Eastern Michigan University (EMU), and Michigan State University (MSU). Milliken claims more appointment power would make those governing boards more accountable to the gover- nor. ACCORDING TO the state's 1963 con- stitution, University and EMU Regents and MSU trustees are elected on the November statewide ballot while the boards of the state's other ten public universities are appointed by the governor. Several Regents mentioned, however, that they weren't worried about the proposition because the Republican governor would have to get it passed through the state's largely democratic legislature. Milliken has unsuccessfully endorsed measures for several years which would give him more appointment power. Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey) said he doesn't plan to take any action on the question, which he strongly op- poses. "HE (MILLIKEN) has always pushed for that (appointing the Regen- ts). It's a political question. It's not going to go anywhere," Brown'said. The lawyer said his greatest objec- tion to Milliken's system is that it would "make the appointees subject to the will of the governor." "I think a person who goes out and runs for office is more likely to be in- volved. He might be more aware of what's going on in the state," Brown said. REGENT GERALD Dunn (D- Lansing) also said the proposal has vir- tually no chance of passage, but he ad- ded that he may "urge the Board (of Regents) to take a position against it." Dunn slammed Milliken's suggestion, claiming it is only a political move. "It's very funny, that he never brought this up when there was a majority of Republicans on the board," Dunn said. There is a 6-2 Democratic majority among the University Regen- ts. ACCORDING TO reports in the Ann Arbor News, Regents Deane Baker (R- Ann Arbor), Robert Nederlander (D- Birmingham) and Thomas Roach (D- Grosse Pointe) have already publicly opposed Milliken's proposal. None of these Regents could be reached for comment. Sarah Power(D-Ann Arbor) and James Waters (D-Muskegon) were also unavailable for comment. Robert Weber, director of Higher Education Management Systems with the state's Department of Education confirmed that Milliken's request has little chance for approval. "It would require that the state legislature introduce a resolution to place it on the state ballot. There have been no bills introduced. I can't imagine it would be a very high priority for the state legislature," said Weber. Food service OPPOSES NEW OUTPOSTS: U.S. criticizes Israel m__erger By MARK PARRENT Weekend food service consolidation for six University residence halls became almost a certainty last night after a public hearing on the recom- mendations of the Single Student Rate Study Committee. - Norman Snustad, associate housing director and chairman of the commit- tee, expressed doubt that the concerns voiced by the six students at the hearing would prompt a withdrawal of the consolidation recommendation, but said their objections would be checked out. If approved by the Regents as expec- ted, the consolidation plan would take effect in September. Under the plan, on weekends West Quad residents would eat at South Quad, Mosher-Jordan residents would eat at Markley, and Alice Lloyd residents would go to Couzens for food service. The main objections outlined by students at the hearing concerned fears of overcrowding and overtaxing of li*kely facilities in the affected dorms. Some of the students said long lines, crowded dining rooms, and shortages of food and utensils would result if the con- solidation plans were carried out. The advisory committee, composed of four voting students and two voting Housing Division administrators, made a tentative report to University Housing Director Robert Hughes last week. Only one voter at tended the hearing. The report calls for an average University housing rate increase for single students of 6.9 per cent, or $141.21 per student. Included in the figure is a projected savings of $12 )per student resulting from weekend consolidation. The report in its final form will be submitted to Hughes before being presented to the Regents. In the recent past, the Regents have not significantly altered the report before approving it. Last month, the Regents again failed to approve the construction of a facility See DORM, Page 7 i WASHINGTON (AP)-The Carter administration has sent a "strong protest" to Israel in response to the Jerusalem government's decision to build three military outposts on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, an ad- ministration official said yesterday. Meanwhile, Israeli commandos yesterday stormed ashore and attacked a Palestinian "terrorist" stronghold in southern Lebanon while Israeli naval vessels bombarded guerrilla "concen- tration" along the coast, the army said. The administration official, who asked not to be identified, said the move would "not contribute to a summit con- ference" to resolve the obstacles to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. ALFRED ATHERTON JR., President Carter's special Middle East envoy, left Monday for Jerusalem and Cairo to resume U.S. efforts at reaching a peace treaty. Carter said Sunday that he would be willing to meet with Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel and President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, if necessary, to help then resolve their differences. The U.S. official, referring tok Ather- ton's mission, said the Israeli action "doesn't make his job any easier." At the State Department, spokesman Hodding Carter would say only that the administration had received conflicting Wednesday " The midwest began clean-up operations yesterday after the worst storm of the winter hit over the weekend.

The resolution was put off until the opponents and proponents could meet on a date to be specified later. Several University Cellar employees and Eric Glatz, IWW organizer, asked MSA to back them. However, MSA did not invite the Cellar Board of Directors and management to speak at the meeting. The Cellar Board of Directors refused to recognize the union without holding elections presided over by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), ac- cording to Glatz.
