Punch line
The city election Monday marked the'first time the punch card
voting system was used on a widespread basis in Ann Arbor. The
process caused some delay in tabulation of the votes, because election
workers had to examine each ballot with a magnifying glass to make
sure the little square that falls out of the punched hole (AKA the chad)
was, indeed, punched out. The vote was counted if' the chad was
separated at two or three corners, but workers would not count spaces
where the chad had been torn away at only one corner, assuming that
the space was not intended to be punched. Perhaps a few more loose
chads could've helped defeated mayoral candidate Jamie Kenworthy.
Correction
We reported yesterday that William Allen, who Ist the bid.for First
Ward Council seat to incumbent Kenneth Latta, had already served
two years on Council and lost to Councilwoman Susan Greenberg last
year. The former Councilman who actually lost to Greenberg last year
is Wendall Allen, not William Allen.
Take ten
More than 1,000 people gathered in Hill Auditorium on April 4,1969 in
a memorial service for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on what was
the first anniversary of his assassination. Meanwhile, marches and
demonstrations were held throughout the nation in tribute to the slain
civil rights leader. Also that day; CBS-TV terminated the popular
Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour after a running dispute with the two
comedians regarding taste and censorship. '

Russian 'Wild Man'
The USSR apparently has its own Big Foot, and one Soviet resear-
cher claims to have solved the mystery of "the Wild Man." I.E.

Grovich, through 50 years of interviews and research has developed a,
theory to explain the existence of the Chachuna, which means outcast
in the dilect near Yukutsh where the creature is alleged to reside. Ac-
cording to Grovich, the Wild Man was once a member of the Chukchi
tribe, a people of hunters who spent much time in kayaks on the Arctic
Ocean. Quite often the strong winds would blow the kiyaks out to sea
and many tribesmen never returned. But, at times, the wind would
shift and the hunters would by chance return to their villages. These
tribesmen were shunned by society because according to pagan
culture, no one cheats death. These hunters were forced to fend for
themselves and this isolation bred the animal-like being that has
remained in that geographical area. According to witnesses, the Wild
Man is tall and thin, standing more than six feet with arms hanging
below his knees. He can run well and throws a spear with ease. There
have been no first hand accounts of his presence in the Ann Arbor area
but beware of footprints in the dirt. Maybe now the Wild Man's cousin
Big Foot will come out of the closet.
The times are a-changin'
In the wake of Sunday's Hash Bash, some claimed they felt "very
old" as they picked their way through the mass of bodies that filled the
Diag. There was mpuch discussion of what the 1960s must have been
like and a good deal of talk of how drastically things have changed in
the past ten years. That may be the perspective of the current Univer-
sity student but a "viper" from another generation, Bernard Bright-
man, claimed in a High Times articles that "potsmoking isn't what it
used to be." Brightman, who first got high in the 1930s, said "there was
a natural high that came out of good natural grass that was the
epitome and focus of that whole trip." Brightman contended that pot
smoking has become a "rich man's activity" and calls todays tokers a
"new breed of cat."

AMIN DENOUNCES INVADERS
Ugandan exiles form
first administration

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - A coalition
of exiles who hope to unseat President
Idi Amin in the battle for Uganda ap-
pointed yesterday its first ad-
ministrators for areas "liberated"
from Amin's government.
From the Tanzanian capital, Dar es
Salaam, the Uganda National
Liberation Front sent district com-
missioners to take charge in West
Ankole, Kyotsra; Mubende, Masaka
and Mityana, key centers in western
and southwestern Uganda 'under the
control of Tanzanian and exiled Ugan-
dan invaders.
A SPOKESMAN for the front predic-
ted Kampala, the capital, would fall
within two days.
Unscathed by a surprise Tanzanian
air attack Monday on his hideout at
Uganda's second largest city, Jinja,
Amin toured the eastern edge of his
beleaguered country in a convoy of
Mercedes Benz sedans, Ugandan exiles
reported.
Citing contacts inside Uganda, the
exiles said Amin left Jinja after the
Tanzanian raid Monday and drove to
Busia in the southeastern corner of
Uganda. There he reportedly addressed
a public meeting, before driving north
toward the border towns of Tororo and
Mbale.
IN HIS ADDRESS, Amin reportedly
issued a fierce denunciation of Tan-
zanian invaders that was later broad-
cast on Uganda radio. Accusing the
Tanzanians of atrocities ranging from
bombing mosques to raping nuns, he
acknowledged for the first time that the
invaders have shelled or bombed Kam-
pala as well as the international airport
at Entebbe and Jinja, 50 miles east of
Kampala.
On the battlefronts, exile sources
reported a fierce six-hour firefight in
the predawn hours yesterday at Budo,
10 miles southwest of Kampala on the
main Masaka highway. The road has
been the invaders' main line of advance

and their forces reportedly are biding
their time near Kampala suburbs.
Residents were unable to give details
of the night's battle. But they reported
sounds of mortars, machine guns and
artillery near King's College, a school
for boys.
EXILES ALSO reported that Tan-
zanian gunners shelled a temporary
military camp at Nanasuka, six miles
south of Kampala on the road to Antibe
- killing 24 Libyan and 15 Ugandan
soldiers.
Theexiles said their information
came from a soldier who feld the camp
during the night.
"Today very few Ugandan soldiers
were willing to take up arms and fight
with the Arabs against Tanzanian in-
vaders," the exiles quoted the deserter,
as saying.
EXILES ALSO reported the Tan-
zanians shelled a camp at Mutundwe,
five miles southwest of Kampala, at
Bombo, north of Kampala and home of
the Malire Mechanized Battalion, and
at Mukomo, east of the capital on the
Kampala-Jinja road. Details were not
available.
Amin madeapublic appearance Mon-
day in Jinja after the Tanzanian air at-
tack, ordered frightened workers back
to their jobs and claimed one of the two
air raiders was shot down.
The sources, who were reached by
telephone, said townspeople were star-
tled when Amin, who had not been seen
in public for some days, arrived at an
open-air bus terminal and told
frightened employees to get back to
work.
The Tanzanian-Ugandan war began
late last October when Amin's army
occupied 710 square miles of northern
Tanzania. The Tanzanians chased the
Ugandans out and then kept on going in-
to southwest Uganda, reinforced by
Ugandan exiles, with the declared aim
of overthrowing Amin.
