FYCu SE E WV APPN CEL 3DAY Take ten More than 1,500 students overflowed the Union Ballroom on the evening of March 13, 1969 to hear Joan Baez and her husband David Harris talk about an impending nonviolent revolution. The folk singer asserted that it is everyone's complicity with the military establish- ment and an attitude of nationalism which makes war inevitable. She called for reform of the, educational system-"a casration process"-as well as passive resistance to corporate power to bring the day when "the words 'oppressor' and 'oppressed' will disappear from the earth." Harris, about to begin a three-year prison sentence for refusing the draft, said, "the time is not scared-it does not exist unto itself. It is a tool. . . . When it ceases to benefit men's lives, it should no longer by obeyed." The Is have it Ominious warnings of "No mail service to Iran," and "No mail service to Ireland" in the window of the Post Office in Nickels Arcade prompted several students to plaster the window with notices of their own. The pranksters worked early Sunday morning to post signs bearing jibes such as "No mail service to Idaho" and "No mail service to Iphigenia" on the window. A post office spokesman chuckled when asked what was done yesterday morning when the office opened. "I took the signs down. I did notice that all of the signs had places begin- ning with the letter 'I.' Maybe somebody was upset about not being able to send a letter to Iran." A new addition Linguists have been busy over the last few years tracing and recording new words which have sprung up to cope with a changing America. Watergate led to 'Koreagate,' and the nation's economic woes have spawned 'stagflation.' But the latest term to crop up, com- pliments of the Ann Arbor News, is 'potholitics' On Sunday the News ran a front page story describing the possible political consequences of Ann Arbor's menacing pothole problem, and there, in a bold, black headline the word 'potholitics' was born. William Safire take note. Will they do windows? More than ever, Americans think they are too good for their jobs, according to a study released this weekend by University researchers. Results of the "1977 Quality of Employment Survey" show that 36 per cent of the 1,515 workers surveyed felt underutilized as opposed to 25 per cent of those surveyed in 1973. Robert Quinn and Graham Staines, authors of the study, said the majority of workers enjoy considerable job security, but often feel "locked into their jobs." In the latest sur- vey only 20 per cent of the workers polled said they thoughts it wouli be very easy to find a job with similar income and fringe benefits, a marked drop from the 27 per cent in 1973 and 40 per cent in 1969 who stated they could easily find comparable employment.

Silent speaker Two months ago the Yale University Political Union asked Richard Nixon to come to campus as a guest speaker and Peter Rabinowitz, Political Union spokesman says his group has yet to hear a reply from the former president. A Nixon aide, however, claims the university has been contacted several times, by letter and phone. "We regret Yale spreading this misinformation," said the Nixon spokeswoman. Regardless, Rabinowitz says hisgroup has given up hope that Nixon will accept. Keep those cards coming Cobwebs and dust line most of the mail boxes in the Roseland, Arkansas post office which serves a total of 18 families. Despite the fact that the cost of operating the office if five times more than the reveniue it brings it, Roseland's post office has survived recent efforts by the U.S. Postal Service to close rural post offices in an effort to achieve greater efficiency. Roseland's Postmaster, Richard Rose, who is one of two Roseland postal employees, speculates that if the Postal Service were to close his office, it would be replaced by rural carrier service rather than ask patrons to travel the four miles to the neartest stations located in Dell or Manila. Rose, however, is confident he would be placed in another post office. "They will find me a job somewhere," said Rose. "Oh, they're generous people."

LiGodr Ye... An t57" 251 E. Liberty " 663-7513 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -~ I ROME (AP)-The head of the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization said yesterday that more than a million people live in "Absolute poverty and destitution" and said the problem is getting worse. He called for a world- wide "direct assault on poverty." "We must design and implement a comprehensive strategy which would have a direct impact on economic growth and alleviate poverty," Direc- tor Gneral Edouard Sacuma of the FAO said in an address to food officials from more than 100 nations discussing agrarian reform and rural develop- ment. "WE FIND THAT poverty not only persists in all developing countries, but is actually increasing in most," Saouma said. "It is a tragic anachronism that more than one billion people in the rural areas endure lives of absolute poverty and destitution. More than 450 million people suffer severe undernutrition." Saouma mentioned the 'grim reality of deteriorating rural conditions" and asked for long-term efforts to improve them. The food authorities began a five-day meeting to prepare for the World Con- ference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development scheduled here July 12-20. The current meeting will review the world's agricultural situation for the "program of action" to be taken in July. SAOUMA ASKED for more efficient use of rural resources and greater in- vestment in the rural sector. He said heavy reliance on "the strategy of in- dustrialization" of the past did not work in the developing countries. "Rural development involves a thoroughgoing transformation of social structure," Souma added. "It requires extensive mobilization and motivation of the masses. We must recognize that any such process of change upsets the prevailing balance of social forces.." WHILE ASKING for "massive com- mitment of resources" in agriculture, theLebanese director general of FAO said the primary responsibility for rural development belongs to the devleoping countries. But the developing countries, Saouma said, must be protected from 'unfavorable swings"in trade. A I TERESTEDIJAZZ? UAC now taking applications for Eclipse Jazz.

For informa- CONSERVATION GROUP WANTS INVESTIGATION: Bottle price review sought LANSING (UPI)-The Michigan United Conservation Clubs yesterday asked Attorney General Frank Kelley to investigate beer and soft drink price increases levied after imposition of the ban on throwaway bottles and cans. MUCC, the state's largest conser- vation group and leader of the initiative dirve for the so-called bottle law, questioned whether price fixing was in- volved. "SINCE NOT ALL distributors have had to spend money to comply with the new law and since many distributors are gaining additional income from recycling metal, glass and cardboard and from deposit monies, it is questionable whether any price in- creases due to the deposit law are THE MICHIGAN DAILY (LISPS 344-900) Volume LXXXIX, No. 128 Tuesday, March 13, 1979 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.

Washington also speculated that the price hikes were in part intended to make the law look ill-advised and to discourage other states and the federal government from enacting throwaway bans.
