New Wave rockers, it seems,have an unexpected fondness for one of television's longest-lasting series, Hawaii Five-O. The rock group Radio Birdman has recorded a version of the show's theme, and Wed-. nesday night at Second Chance Patti Smith revealed she also watches the show. She apologized to her audience in advance, telling them she would be late for her Thursday night performance so she could catch the television show. When the audience told her Steve McGarrett and company were recently cancelled, she pouted, and said, "Well then, we'll be late because we'll be holding a wake." School spiriting? - Can maize and blue blood lead to thievery? John and Laurie Kin- ziger, owners of Kinziger's Hunters and Fisherman's tsar in Lena,' Wisconsin, think so.'The Kinzigers were once the proud possessors of a stuffed wolverine-valued at around $10,000-until the critter mysteriously disappeared from its regular post atop an antique washing machine. The citizens of Lena, according to the Ann Arbor News, have suspicions that the wolverine burglar was a diehard University of Michigan fan who spirited the wolverine away as a souvenir. "It could only have been by someone who wanted it for something special," said Laurie 'Kinziger of the theft. Ann Arbor police have promised the owners to keep a look out for their wolverine. Anyone spotting a shaggy brown creature is urged to contact the police. Take ten On March 23, 1969, members of the Sociology Department faculty were considering a proposal calling for abolition of all sociology requirements for a major. Meanwhile, William Hays, former dean of the Literary College, made plans to ask the college's Executive Com- mittee to consider a proposal for providing an alternative to the Bachelor of Arts degree. This action was in the first stage of events which ultimately led to the adoption of the Bachelor of General Studies degree at the University.

Marine experts at the Acaderpy of Applied Scien- ces hope to use a pair of trained dolphins to probe fie deep fresh water of the Scottish lake this summer where Nessie is believed to be hiding out. The only problem, marine experts say, with using dolphins is in their way of making the transition from relatively tepid water climate to the frigid fresh water. This plan is the latest in dozens of novel effor- ts to lure Nessie.to the lagoon's surface. Past attempts have included By STEVE HOOK The cityof Ann Arbor stands to gain $12.5 million if a proposal by the American Citizens for Honesty in Government (ACHG) is approved by President Carter. In the midst of a nationwide cam- paign, the ACHG sent Regional Direc- tor Rudy Riefstahl to Ann Arbor late last week for a meeting with Mayor Louis Belcher. The purpose: to discuss a $25 billion nationwide rebate plan, which is the amount of money wasted by the federal government last year through waste and corruption, accor- ding to a General Accounting Office report. ON APRIL 1, the ACHG will hand President Carter a formal proposal, asking that $25 billion to be returned to taxpayers across the country. "This loss of taxpayers' money is inexcusable," stated Riefstahl. "In ef- fect, the federal government owed this money to the people. If a person should be held responsible for an accident or waste, let alone corruption, the gover- nment should be equally responsible. The ACHG, which is sponsored by the Church of Scientology, proposes that the rebate be distributed directly to the nation's cities, not to individual tax- payers, to help fund civic projects or reduce local taxes. For Ann Arbor, with a population of 110,000, Riefstahl Doctors near solution to Legionnaires' disease BOSTON (UPI) - Riddles surroun- ding Legionnaires' Disease which claimed 29 lives at an American Legion convention nearly three years ago are close to being solved, scientists repor- ted yesterday. Efforts by the medical community to determine the cause and nature of the respiratory disease which struck the Philadelphia convention in July 1976 is the subject of a report in the New England Journal of Medicine. The surprising thing about the disease is that it defied detection for so long, said Dr. Jay Sanford of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine in Bethesda, Md. Doctors first identified the organism in January 1977. Since then, scientists have been able to tie the bacteria to the Philadelphia epidemic as well as to outbreaks of respiratory disease in other cities. The most effective treatment for the disease now appears torbethe antibiotic erythromycin, Sanford said. It is also likely that if the frequency of the disease ever warrants it, a vaccine might be manufactured. The hours are long, but that's O.K., the pay is lousy.

VISTA FLORENCE Its Art, History, Literature A 6-week study program at the Villa Salviatino June 24-August 5 Sponsored by The University of Michigan figured that the city would receive just over $12.5 million under the plan. WHEN ASKED where the proposed rebate would come from, Riefstahl would only say that the money is owed to the people, and that Carter would have to decide from what departments. Belcher expressed support for the ACHG campaign, saying "I have no qualms with your premise, nor do I have any qualms with what you're trying to do. We've been telling the federal government this for years," he added. If the proposal is approved by Carter, Belcher said Ann Arbor's share.of the rebate would be used to reduce local property taxes. THROUGHOUT MUCH of the meeting, Riefstahl and Belchersimply exchanged complaints about wasteful government spending, and insensitivity to local community needs. Among examples of excessive spen- ding, Riefstahl discussed a $166 million project to paint 40 miles of pipe within the Veteran's Administration Building in Washington, D.C. Belcher com- plained about the new Senate office building, complete with 25-foot ceilings, panelled walls, and a fully equipped gym. That project is now some 4000 per cent over budget. The mayor also pointed out that the average Senate staff today is about 46 people, up from between six and ten in the late 1960's. The two also exchanged statistics showing excessive spending in other governmentadepartments, primarily the General Service Ad- ministration.

"The federal government does not trust local governments to spend tax money. Basically, it's Big Brother telling you- how to spend your money." ACCORDING TO Riefstahl, "I don't think this is just a case of waste. This is also a case of a criminal mentality within the government." He expressed optimism that the ACHG's efforts will waste succeed. "If President Carter is as smart a politician as I think he is, he won't ignore this proposal, and he will do something about it. If he doesn't, the American citizens at the grass roots level surely will." Asked about the ACHG's recourse if the campaign fails, Riefstahl respon- ded, "Whatever happens on April 1, we are not going to quit." 1429 Hill Street 663-3336 Casual or saucy: Buskens sandals in leather and wood, for Miss J. ~7 Soft rust leather I strapped to handsome wood bottoms, with a padded insole between. - ..:tt. . 5%/ to 10 Medium sizes. - A.
