Do not lose heart, 0 leprechauns of Ann Arbor. With St. Patrick's

Correction
In an article about 76-GUIDE in Thursday's paper, we incorrectly
stated that GUIDE staffers can tell callers what movies are playing on
campus. GUIDE operators have now informed us that they usually
refer such inquiries to the University operators.

Take Ten -
On Feb. 17, 1968, the Literary College's (LSA) Curriculum Com-
mittee recommended that the faculty abolish all academic credit for
courses in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). The commit-
tee's recommendation blasted the reading materials in some ROTC
courses as "conjectural, non-analytical, cheaply motalistic, and often
blatantly propagandistic." Eventually, ROTC course credit was
abolished from all LSA courses.

WORKERS GET COMPANY CONTROL
Bullard proposes job bill
By MARY FAR'ANSKI
Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor),
chairman of the House Labor Commit-
tee, has introduced legislation that
"will make possible the saving of jobs
in many communities where companies
have decided to move elsewhere."
The legislation, introduced in the
House earlier this week, would allow
employees of "run-away" plants, with
the help of their community, corporate
officials, union representatives, and the
Labor Department, to incorporate and
take over the plant. The bill would
mandate the Department of Labor to
set up a "Program of Assistance to
Worker Owned Corporations' to aid
employees in locating funds in order to.
keep the plant, and thus their jobs, in
Michigan. The Labor Department
would also help the employees with
management training and other
assistance that may be needed.
THE LEGISLATION is the first of its
kind in the country to be seriously con-
sidered, a state official said. Bullard is
expected to discuss the proposed bill
with the House Labor Committee soon.
An "employee-owned corporation,"
according to the bill, is a. business
operation and the management rights
are represented by voting stock which
may be owned only by the employees of
the operation. Fifty per cent of the
stock must be owned by the employees.
Bullard said between 1967 and 1974,
some 200,000 jobs were lost in Michigan
due to the closing of some 4,000 plants.
However, many jobs have been saved
in Michigan, Indiana, and Vemont
because of employee takeover of "run-
away" plants. Amercel, formerly the
Mississippi Structural Steel Company,
located in the Lansing area, has been
taken over and is operated by its 160
employees soon after the steel company
moved elsewhere.
Many plants have closed down or
moved out of state for several reasons:
retirement by the owners, takeover by
a conglomerate, relocation of
production in another state to
maximize profits, and closure because
of anti-pollution regulations.
The bill will contain a "sunset
clause" because this is a trial approach
to saving jobs. At three and one-half
years after the bill's passage, the Labor
Department will hold hearings to
evaluate activities under the bill and to
suggest continuation, modification, or
termination of the bill.

Kermit gets slapped
Kermit the Frog and the rest of the Muppet gang have been slap-
ped with a $370,000 lawsuit. Two Illinois manufacturers filed the suit
Thursday in a U.S: District Court in Manhattan, New York. The plain-'
tiffs, Ronald and Alfred Falese, and Gem-Dandy Inc., of Madison,
N.C., charged the Muppets Inc., and Children's Television Workshop
of withdrawing an offer to use the characters on a line of children's
belts. Both manufacturers said they lost sizable amounts of money in
promotional efforts as a result of the Muppets' change of heart. Ker-
mit or Miss Piggy were not available for comment.

Markley Hall Council passed by one
vote Thursday night a proposal to give
Council funds to the Detroit Edison
Shareholders Initiative, a campus
political group ,that opposes nuclear
power plant construction in-state.
The Shareholders Initiative is com-
posed mainly of students who own stock
in Detroit Edison. They plan to use the
Council funds for a campaign to stop
Detroit Edison from continuing the
construction of the Femi II nuclear
power plant in Monroe, Mich.'
ACCORDING to Shareholders
Initiative member Bob Jordan, a
Literary College freshman who asked
the dorm Council to donate $50, the
organization will also ask for funds
from Mosher-Jordan and South Quad
dorm councils at their next meetings.
Earlier this week, however, both
Couzens and Alice Lloyd Councils post-
poned voting the funding request.
According to Couzens Council
president Pat Singer, Couzens put off a
vote on the fund request until next week
because the discussion at last Sunday's
meeting became too "heated." Couzens
resident Karen Engram said Jordan
presented his proposal poorly. "He just
asked for the money," said Engram.
Singer said Jordan's request took
about half an hour to present. At- the
Markley meeting Thursday, where the
resolution to donate funds passed, Jor-
dan spoke for only a few minutes before
asking for a vote. Markley president
Dan Lettvin said after the meeting, "If
he'd made it longer here, I'm not sure
that it would've passed."
JORDAN SAID that when he spoke at
the Couzens Hall meeting, students
raised questions about the issue, and

many said they did not have enough in-
formation to vote.
Jordan said that students wanted to
see the other side of the nuclear power
issue presented. He added that some
students thought the money should be
for parties, not for political in-
volvement, and said he was pretty
shocked that students atCouzens didn't
want to get involved.
"I think the issue is whether we deal
with it at all," said Mark Halliday, a
Couzens council representative.
Halliday said most students are not in-
formed about the issue, and those that
were informed are about evenly divided
for and against nuclear power plants.
"IF YOU.OPEN up the dorm gover-
nment to political questions, you are
kind of opening a Pandora's box," said
Halliday. Halliday said the dorm coun-
cil has to limit itself to questions direc-
tly concerning the dorm.
Ray Kahn, Markley vice president,
said he was glad Jordan came to talk to
the Council. "Students tend to be ex-
tremely apathetic," he said. Markley
president Lettvin added, "Believe it or
not, the students were interested in it.I
just don't think they were up for a long
Zaher Mansour, another Couzens
resident, said that it is not an issue
dorm councils should contribute to, sin-

plants is divided. "It's too touchy an;,

Joel Treuhaft, Alice Lloyd Council
president, said Alice Lloyd tabled the
request because of Council policy to not
