The Michigan Daily-Friday, April 6, 1979-Page 7 HEEDS APPEAL FROM CONVICT'S MOTHER: R ehnquist ATMORE (AP)-John Louis Evans III was spared from death in the elec- tric chair last night when U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist stayed the sentence for one week on an appeal by Evans' mother. Evans burst into tears when he heard Rehnquist's decision and appeared ready to fight for his life, said the Rev. Kevin Duigan, a local Catholic priest. JOHN CARROLL, attorney for the Survey says 15%"/ mistrust Carter (Continued from Page 1 ballots for congressional candidates. "As expectations of government per- formance go lower," Miller said, "people come to believe that the gover- nment has less ability to change things." The nationwide tax revolt has roots in this school of thought, and, according to Miller, is, a direct descendant of the American Revolution's "no taxation without representation" motto. "IT'S HARD FOR the public to offer solutions to problems that have been politician's jobs in the past," he said. "But what is happening is that politicians have made unfulfilled promises, and the more referenda the people have to vote on, the more direct impact the people feel they are having." While 70 per cent of those polled. favored tax cuts, the same number of respondents were opposed to cuts in public prograrms such as education and Social Security. Miller said the public is calling for more efficiency and equitability in the distribution of tax dollars. The researcher predicted inflation and other economic issues should remain at the forefront of political con- cerns in the future. He noted that energy and ecology-related concerns are on the rise, along with apprehension over the growth of special interest groups. MILLER SAID the public is in the market for a 1980 presidential can- didate displaying leadership, com- petence, and trustworthiness. "A big factor in Ted Kennedy's favor is leadership. People perceive him as a guy who can arouse them and get them enthused. Jerry Brown shows those same attributes. Ronald Reagan is the equivalent on the Republican side," he said.. grants exe killer who had said he wanted to die, said less than six hours before the scheduled 12:01 a.m. CST execution that the Supreme Court justice had delayed it until April 13., "All we know is that the electrocution is off," said Carroll. "We have no details yet." Rehnquist said in Washington that the sentence was stayed for "further consideration of the application of Bet- ty Evans," mother of the convicted murderer. SINCE EVANS had said he would rather die in Alabama's electric chair than spend the rest of his life in jail, Mrs. Evans has made the last minute appeal for his life. The Beaumont, Texas, native was sentenced to die for the slaying of a 1' ion stay Mobile pawn shop owner, Edward Nassar, who was gunned down in a rob- bery with his two young daughters close by. The last person to.be executed in the United States was Gary Gilmore, whose death before a Utah firing squad Jan. 17, 1977, marked the first time in a decade that a death sentence was carried out in the United States. EVANS TOLD his trial court and later asserted repeatedly on death row that he has "an obsession with freedom. If I can't have it, I'd rather be dead." James, meanwhile, did not rule out the possibility of a clemency hearing after listening to personal pleas from Evans' mother, one of her attor- neys and Duigan, who is perhaps Evans' closest friend. 00 0 ao a STEVE REICH Music For 18 Musicians STEVE REICH M~usic For 18 Musicians Werner Herzog 1970 FATA MORGANA "FATA MORGANA is a catalog of dead colonialism in the Sahara; the abandoned debris from WW II, the mad magical strain in both the blacks and German tourists digging for ethnic ;information.
