Meanwhile in Washington, the United
States said yesterday it is moving
toward a stable relationship with Iran's
new rulers and signaled it sees no
political future for the shah.
STATE DEPARTMENT spokesman
Aodding Carter said President Carter's
offer Monday to cooperate with the new
government headed by Bazargan was
received well in Tehran and the U.S.
Ambassador, William Sullivan, expec-
ted to call on members of his cabinet.

"The President indicated he intends
to cooperate fully. I have reason to
believe that statement was well-
received in Tehran by those who
represent the new government," he
said.
"We are in touch at various
levels ... We are moving along toward
a stable relationship," he said.
U.S. OFFICIALS said Washington
had not yet formally told Bazargan that
it recognizes his government as the
successor to that of Bakhtiar, appointed
prime minister, by the Shah before he
left on an indefinite vacation last mon-
th.

Such notice would be the final formal
step toward maintaining diplomatic
relations, but Carter's statement of
willingness to cooperate may serve the
same end, officials said.

SENUNAS BOASTS of a similar
background as Reliability Manager at
Ford Motor Co., with an Engineering
and Business Adminittration degree.
Senunas sees this as a major asset
enabling him to bring to Council "my
business orientation on financial and
budgetary programs." He charac-
terizes his views and perspectives on
these financial matters as "hand-
nosed.
Neither candidate claims to be con-
ducting a particularly intensive cam-
paign. Senunas characterizes his ac-
tivities as "low key," with expenditures
of "several hundred dollars" largely
due to mailings and a few adver-
tisements in the Ann Arbor News. He
says his main campaign objective is
"just getting the Republican vote out."
Curry's campaign is based on "per-
sonal contact." 4
Curry says "it is rough going against
an incumbent," but said he had "no
basis for making a judgment as to his
chances of victory.
One possible source of support, which
Curry alluded to, -a fairly common An-
nArbor Phenomenon, is voters of the
opposing party, in this case,
Democrats, seeking to defeat the in-
cumbent by crossing over in the
primary.

line had passed, Grieshaber's name
still appear on the primary ballot. '
And Cappaert is not particularly
worried about an upset.
ALTHOUGH CItOSSOVER votes are
not unheard of in this town, Cappaert
said that it is unlikely that any
significant number of Republicans will
vote out of their party for Grieshaber.
"Youy can lay back so much as not to
encourage anyone to vote," said Cap-
paert, who has been conducting a "door
to door" campaign for the past month.
the former city councilperson who
represented the Fifth Ward from 1964-
70, is making his seventh run for council
after losing last year's election for the
Fourth Ward seat by a mere 58 votes to
Republican David Fisher. But Cap-
paert said that he doesn't think a great
deal about the "win or lose thing. I just
work like hell." t
And since past races in the Fourth
Ward have traditionally been quite
close, if Cappaert is successful on
February 19, he may have to build up a
sweat in order to beat incumbent E.
Edward Hood (R-Fourth ,Ward) in
April.
THE FOURTH WARD-the city's
largest with some 3000 more voters
than the next biggest ward-has come
to be known as Ann Arbor's "swing"
ward.
The heterogeneous Fourth Ward has,
in the past, been a good indicator of the
outcome of the city's mayoral races. If
the winner of the Fourth Ward contest
is a Democrat, according to past trends
Democratic mayoral candidate Jamie
Kenworthy or John Montgomery will be
conducting City Council meetings next
April.
Cappaert, the principal of Abbot
Junior High, and the consensus choice
of active party members in the ward, i
confident of his chances in the coming

primary and his ability to represent the
Fourth Ward. Running in a diversified
ward consisting of students, professors,
wealthy business people and public
housing residents, Cappaert is focusing
his campaign on the "general area of
ethics in government."
"I think that it is essential to bring
out the talent and ability of everyone
who lives in the city," said Cappaert,
who explained that broad attitudes in
government are themselves an issue.
Cappaert is also emphasizing a num-
ber of specific issues. One current isue
that particularly concerns Cappaert, is
the problem of a landfill. "I call it a
garbage dump," said Cappaert, "and it
is a real problem. Most people want it
picked up,. but no one wants to put
anywhere."
CAPPAERT SAID that recycling ef-
fQrts and the purchase of a shredder,
are stepsin the right direction.
The junior high! principal is also
placing emphasis on the broad area of
traffic safety. "If 'the city were more
honest, the 'Don't Walk' signs would be
changed to 'run like hell.' We're afraid
to slow down traffic," Cappaert said.
Cappaert, however, has a solution.
He plans to personally go out and time
the traffic lights. "With the facts to
support me, I will insist that changes be
made," he said.
