McCall's looks at Colleges
In an attempt to expose the sinful decadence at colleges nowadays,
the editors of the generally wholesome women's magazine McCall's
are taking theor own survey of collegiate sex. McCall's has sent a
Daily staffer 500 copies of a 45-question survey which McCall's will use
in "an article on sex and the social climate on today's campuses." Af-
ter being filled out by University students eager to bare all, the sur-
veys will be shipped back to the magazine's editors, who will examine
the juicy responses. Most of the questions concern the mores of co-ed
dorms, such as whether "co-ed dorm living leads to increased sexual
activity" and whether residents feel "greater sexual pressure" (no
pun intended) in a co-ed dorm. McCall's editors gave no indication of
whether the magazine's college editon will be sold in plain brown
wrappers.
Earthly cards

Center of Ann Arbor is giving you a chance to remedy the situation and
make money at the same time. The Ecology Center is accepting

$50 to each artist whose design they use. Line drawings or black and
white photographs may be submitted through April 10, and interested
artists should contact Gail Gredler at the Ecology Center, 417 Detroit

naturally, on recycled paper.
Take ten
The Chicago Police Department on March 14, 1969 finally closed its
investigation into misconduct by officers during the demonstrations at
the Democratic National Convention the summer before. Forty-one
men, none of higher rank than sergeant, were penalized as a result of
the inquiry. Of the 41 found guilty, 35 were suspended for periods
ranging from two to 30 days. Four policemen harged with improper
use of force against a newspaper reporter wer suspended for 30 days
with a recommendation for dismissal. Six sergeants were relieved of
duty for 15 days for failure to properly supervise their men. Eighteen
were taken off the force temporarily for failure to wear stars and
nameplates.

Those creepy things
Anyone who suspects that Taiwan doesn't like us anymore shouldn't
be surprised by theEaster baskets which the K-Mart corporation im-
ported from Taiwan. When the shipment was unpacked at a K mart
store, the workers discovered that the only goodies inside the baskets
were spider larvae. After the find was reported to headquarters, the K,
mart brass ordered a check on the baskets at other stores. "We found
a few problems," said a K mart spokesperson, "and we decided not to

PRIME MINIS TER DENIES OVERTHROW
Grenada rebels claim takeover

From AP and Reuter
BRIDGETOWN; Barbados - Broad-
casts by a group called the New
Revolutionary Government of Grenada
claimed it overthrew the government of
Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy yester-
day. But Gairy said in New York that
the uprising was limited to the takeover
of the radio station by "a small group of
communists."
"No, no, no, no, I have not been over-
thrown," Gairy told The Associated
Press in New York, where he was on
United Nations business. He said he has
asked for arms aid from the United
States and Britain to put down the in-
surrection.
THERE WAS NO immediate confir-
mation of the rebel claim broadcast
over a station called Radio Free
Granada. The broadcast said armed
rebels stormed the army barracks and
that some buildings were burned.
Repeated broadcasts demanding that
police surrender indicated there were
some hold-outs at midafternoon.
The United States is represented in
Grenada through its embassy in Bar-
bados. The embassy said, "A coup has
started in Grenada. We are not sure if it
is completed or successful."
The broadcasts, spiced with West In-
dian reggae and calypso songs, said the

new regime controlled the tiny eastern
Caribbean island of 110,000 people
about 100 miles north of Venezuela.
They assured tourists, mostly North
Americans, that they would be safe and
were welcome to stay.
IN WASHINGTON, State Depar-
tment spokesman Thomas Reston said
there are about 400 American tourists
on the island, plus 830 American
residents, 700 of whom attend a medical
school there.
The broadcasts said the government
of the "criminal dictator" Gairy had
been overthrown and that the army had
surrendered. The coup leaders said
"fair and free" elections would be held
soon.
Gairy blamed the New Jewel
Movement, formed in 1972 to oust him,
for the takeover. Jewel is an acronym
for Joint Endeavor for Welfare,
Education and Liberation. Gairy said it
is a communist group with a member-
ship of about 1,000.
HE SAID HE IS entitled to American
backing to catch the rebels because an
American investigation of gun-running
to Grenada panicked the New Jewel
Movement leadership into starting the
uprising.
The movement is headed by a 55-
year-old lawyer, Maurice Bishop, con-

sidered a moderate leftist in the Carib-
bean. His father was shot to death -by
police in the capital of St. George's in
late 1973 during a demonstration.
Bishop vowed to extradite Gairy from
the United States to stand trial for mur-
der and fraud. He said foreign support
for Gairy would be "an intolerable in-
terference in the internal affairs of our
country."
THE BROADCASTS said the rights
and property of foreigners would be
protected and friendly relations with
other nations would continue.
Gairy, 58, a dapper, authoritarian
former trade unionist, entered Grenada
politics in the early 1950s and rose
quickly, becoming chief minister in
1961. A year later the British, who still
owned Grenada, suspended the con-
stitution and fired his administration on
grounds it had misused public-funds.
He and his United Labor Party
regained power in 1967 elections when
Grenada and many other British

colonies in the Caribbean became
associate states with Britain, governing
their internal affairs while Britain took
care of their defense and foreign
relations.
AT THE UNITED Nations, Gairy was
best known for trying to persuade the
world body to set up an agency to in-
vestigate unidentified flying objects
(UFOs) and related phenomena.
Last December, the General Assem-
bly shelved Grenada's resolutions and
instead urged member states to take
appropriate steps to probe UFOs them-
selves.
Despite the skepticism that greeted
Gairy's efforts, there was no doubt at
the United Nations of the sincerity with
which he pressed his case that life
existed on other planets. He argued in
debates that it was presumptuous for
men to believe they are God's only in-
telligent beings. "Such a belief is -a
gross fallacy," he said.

WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Veteran
labor leader George Meany said
yesterday that President Carter's
voluntary anti-inflationary' guidelines
were not working and announced court
action to prevent withholding federal
contracts from firms. which violate
them.
"It is obvious from the recent con-
sumer and wholesale price index repor-
ts that the anti-inflation program is not
working, at least as far as prices and
profits go," Meany told a news con-
ference.
. THE AFL-CIO president announced
that the union had filed a suit in federal
court to overturn Carter's authority to
withhold federal contracts from firms
which violate the wage guidelines.
He said he thought the wage
guidelines would be destroyed if the
Teamsters Union wins a big raise in its
current negotiations with the trucking
industry.
"The wage guidelines will go to the
bottom of the Tidal Basin," he said
when asked about the effect of a big
Teamsters increase. The Tidal Basin is
a large lake in Washington.
THERE ARE reports that the Team-
sters are seeking an increase at least

twice as high as the seven per cent
wage guidelines. The guidelines for
price increases is 5 and % per cent.
Meany said enforcement of the con-
tract penalties was denying workers a
chance to bargain for wages increases
above the guidelines. He said the use of
penalties made the wage guidelines
mandatory while the price guidelines
were not.
"I would hope the President would
ask Congress for mandatory controls on
the price of everything and the wages of
everybody," Meany said.
He said the AFL-CIO was organizing
a nationwide system of volunteers to
check prices at their local stores and
report violations of the price guidelines
to the government.
The union will not start any boycotts
against firms that exceed the
guidelines, but Meany said local
boycotts were a possibility.
