The masses of students jamming into University libraries last week
could be attributed to end-of-the-term blues, upcoming finals, or the
fact it was National Library Week. Now even Ronald McDonald has
turned against students bent on procrastinating their studies. A
prominently displayed sign at McDonald's on Maynard Street showed
Ronald McDonald giving some "sound" words of advice: "If you want
to get ahead, head for the library." Thanks a lot, Ronald, when was the
last time you were in a library?

According to the results of a poll made public on April 8, 1969, 85 per
cent of the University students supported the idea of establishing a
University owned and operated bookstore. Little did they know that
later in the year, the University Regents would vote to establish just
such a bokstore - the University Cellar. Respondents to the sur-
vey-conducted by the Student Advisory Board of University
Relations-also gave an overwhelming stamp of approval to the
University's trimester system.

GROTON, Conn. - About 3,000 anti-
nuclear protesters, some draped in
black shrouds, chanted and sang
yesterday as the Navy christened the
USS Ohio, the most powerful nuclear
submarine ever built and the first
equipped with Trident missiles.
First lady Rosalynn Carter and Adm.
Hyman Rickover, considered the father
of the nuclear Navy, were among the
dignitaries on hand for the ceremony at
General 'Dynamic's Electric Boat
shipyard.
POLICE ARRESTED 230 demon-
strators who tried to block the
shipyard's main gate and charged them
with disorderly conduct. Thirty-seven
who declined to give police their names
were also charged with resisting arrest.
Protesters lined the streets near the
Thames River shipyard, but huge con-
struction bays hid them from view of
the estimated 20,000 guests at the
christening and their quiet demon-
stration could not be heard.
"We'll keep arresting them all day if

we have to," Police Chief Joseph San-
dora said as a caravan of school buses
and police vans removed the protesters
to the Groton jail and returned to pick
up new loads.
A SMALL GROUP OF Yale Univer-
sity students conducted a counter-
protest at the plant's gates, saying the
Trident was "a triumph of American
ingenuity and crucial for American
defense."
But the larger group of protesters
chanted and sang their opposition to the
Trident and to nuclear power in
general.
"This is like Harrisburg. It is uncon-
trollable. You can't stop it," one banner
said.
Another urged the 12,000 invited
guests attending the ceremony to
"Please think of your children, please
think of yourselves, please go home."'
U.S. SEN. JOHN Glenn (D-Ohio),
called the 24-missile Ohio the "most
formidable strategic weapons delivery
system ever devised."
The 560-foot submarine will have

more than 10 times the fire power of the
Navy's first ballistic missile submarine
launched 20 years ago. Each of the

Potholes and road repairs may have
been fuel for recent political cam-
paigns, but the real issue, according to
Mike Anderson of the Washtenaw Coun-
ty Road Commission, is money.
Anderson, supervisor of road main-
tenance for the county road
system-the roads outside city
limits-said the county would have
fewer problems each spring if "we
could build each road from the ground
up.
"THIS WOULD involve," he said last
week, "100 per cent construction and a
tremendous amount of money.
"Each year," Anderson continued,
"the ground under the road goes
through several freeze-thaw cycles
causing the ground to move and then
crack the pavement. Water collects in
these cracks and freezes, then, along
with the pounding of traffic and ad-
ditional freezing and thawing, we get
potholes."
The remedy for the potholes, which
are the same procedures used in the
city, is to patch and cover the problem.
Materials for this hole plugging process
are a summer hot mix, and a winter hot
and cold mix of patching asphalt that
the road maintenance crews dump in
the holes then hope for the best.
"AFTER THIS procedure we go to a
seal coat-a mixture of liquid asphalt
and stone suitable for roads of low traf-
fic volume-in the summer months,
this seals the road so water can't get
in," explained Anderson.
Anderson said that even though the
Road Commission is only 19 per cent of
the way through the year they are
already 26 per cent of the way through
their budget. "In the last three weeks
we have used $14,500 (402 tons) worth of
hot mix, $1,300 (80 tons) in cold patch,
and $4,600 (80 tons) in gravel and
limestone."
Asphalt overlay, a resurfacing
process requiring the grinding out of
sore spots then covering with new
asphalt, is the only semi-permanent
repair, other than reconstructing the en-
tire road, that the county Road Com-
mission employs.
ALTHOUGH THESE methods have
been heavily criticized because they
are a symptomatic treatment rather
than a real solution to the problem, they
are the only practical approach, accor-
ding to Anderson.
"The best answer," Anderson said,
"would be to ask the state for more
money to resurface the bad roadways."

Currently the money for road repair
and improvement comes from the
vehicle highway fund which is com-
posed of gas tax revenues and license
plate dues. The allotment for each
county, calculated from a 1970 census,
is based 65 per cent on actual road
mileages and 35 per cent on population.
There is no federal money involved in
road maintenance work, according to
Anderson.
Getting their "share of complaints"
on road conditions from the generally
urban county, the Road Commission
repairs the problem spots according to
where the worst conditions exist, .not
according to traffic volumes. "For
most people out there," said Anderson,
"the worst road they have is probably,
as far as they're concerned the only
road they have.
"We attempt with the best of our
ability to address the whole system,"
Anderson said, "but because of the
glaring lack of funds, we program the
worst ones we have, and then go from
there."
