HALTS DESEGREGATION:
Justice Dept. acts
in Va. busing case
RICHMOND, Va. (P) - The Justice Department requested
and was given approval yesterday to intervene in the appeal
of the Richmond metropolitan school consolidation case as a
friend of the court.I
Following through on President Nixon's school busing
directive, the attorney general's office asked the 4th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals to be permitted to file a brief and
participate in oral arguments set for April 12.
Approval was granted by Judge Clement Haynsworth, a
former Nixon appointee to the Supreme Court who was re-
jected by the Senate on grounds of financial impropriety.
The attorney general's move in the Richmond case was
the second since President Nixon submitted legislation to

lawed the death penalty.
s California - Attorney General
g Evelle Younger argued that the
California Supreme Court had ille-
gally assumed a legislative role
by abolishing the death penalty
when public support to retain it
was high-
"By abolishing the death pen-
alty the court has enacted its
personal views into law over the
will of a ; protesting public,"
Younger wrote in the appeal brief.
The state contended that the
California court- ruled premature-
ly on the death penalty by issu-
ing its decision before the U.S.
Supreme Court decides a similar
case already before it.
Younger targeted much of his
argument on the state court's
finding that the death, penalty is
"cruel and unusual" punishment
and therefore unconstitutional.
The California court issued its
ruling Feb. 18 and later refused
a state petition to reconsider. It
also refused to delay the effect
pending the results of the appeal.
In California. 102 men and five
women who had been sentenced to
death had their sentences com-
muted to life imprisonment fol-
lowing the state court decision.
Among them are Sirhan Sirhan,
convicted of assassinating Sen.
Robert Kennedy, and Charles
Manson, convicted in the seven
SSharon Tate murders.

CLARIFICATION
In Thursday's paper, The
Daily inadvertently implied
that registered voters must
present their registration card
in order to vote. This is not
true; a registered voter need
only show up at his precinct's
polling place in order to vote.
The polling place is listed on
the card.

he sees as dilments of the economy
-inflation, unemployment, and an
adverse balance of payments.
He goes to a Passover dinner
at the Milwaukee Jewish Com-
munity Center and pledges con-
tinuing support for Israel. He
travels to the black community
and asks them to recall that he
fought for civil rights long before
the issue "became popular."
'Judge me by my record of
service," he tells his listeners.
"My record is second to none."
Humphrey knows his long suit
is experience and he wants his
audiences to realize it. He tells
beople of his tenure as mayor of
Minneapolis and his ability as an
.administrator. He cites his legis-
lative record, telling people that
"I stood up in Congress when it
counted."
"You people," he told a group
of farmers in West Bend Thurs-
day, "know the difference between
doers and talkers. You want some-
one who knows how to get people1
together and to get things done. I
come with promises and a record."
Humphrey s e e s unemployment
as a major problem. "I believe
in putting America to work. There
is much work to be done in this
country-ending pollution and re-
building cities. The right to work
is as much a part of America as
freedom of worship and freedom
of speech.".
"I don't want to see jobs lost
in America because of foreign im-
ports," he continues. "Let's start
to have some patriotism in
America. We need to stand up for
America."
But Humphrey, a veteran and
able politician, also knows that
labor will not be sufficient to bring
a victory on April 4.
He speaks to farmers and lashes
out at President Nixon's inability
to raise their income despite ris-
ing food prices.
He has been sensitive recently
about charges that his speechesl
have an over abundance of cam-
paign promises. Senator Edmund
Muskie (D-Maine) has stated that
Humphrey is a "Promise-a-day
campaigner."
In addition, the Wall Street
Journal said that Humphrey is
"promising something for every-
one and to a degree unmatched by
any other candidate."
His record, too, does not go
without c r ii t i c i s m, especially
among the young. They cite his
previous association with former
President Lyndon Johnson and his
failure to come out early against
the Vietnam war during that ad-
ministration.
Detractors also cite that Hum-
phrey's past legislative record,
which they admit is good, is tied
to the old politics. Humphrey is
aware of this undercurrent.
Yesterday, in Madison, the state
capital, Humphrey urged a group
of labor leaders to tell their chil-
dren to vote for him.
the rank and file, whose support
H'u m p h r e y desperately needs.
Those votes that the senator does
not get may very well go -to Wal-
lace with his populist campaign.
Another obstacle is the cam-
paign of Sen. George McGovern
(D-S.D.). McGovern, according to
the opinion polls, may dramatical-
ly boost his presidential hopes
with an upset victory on Tuesday.
The final block to Humphrey
may be Sen. Muskie who now ap-
pears to be the former front run-
ner for the nomination. If Muskie
polls a greater percentage of the
vote than expected it may come
from the groups that Humphrey
is counting on for support.
Yet, if there is a strong point'
to Humphrey's campaign it is that
he has stayed above the inter-
necine quarrels among the Demo-
crats.
He has repeatedly' said that he
will not attack the primary op-
ponents in the run for the nomi-
nation. His reasoning is that the
brunt of the attack should fall on
Richard Nixon.

Publications.
The yearbook isn't the only pub-
lication which is faced with the
problem of a changing market.
Changes in campus attitudes have
also affected Gargoyle, the Uni-
versity's humor magazine.
Gargoyle stopped publishing af-
ter the November '69 issue due to
a loss of interest and declining
sales, according to 'staffers.
Last fall, however, several peo-
ple revived the magazine and pub-
lished the November '71 issue.
However, the staff was disappoint-
ed with the sales.
Mark Cohen, editor of the last
Gargoyle, attributes the disappoint-
ing sales to a changing market,
which is hurting sales of campus
humor magazines across the coun-
try.
The focus of the humor of this
type of magazine may be one rea-
son for its slump.
"It seems that the kind of ap-
proach that puts national and lo-
cal problems in a light-hearted
vein doesn't seem to have the
kind of interest it had two years
ago," comments Cohen.
As for the future of campus
humor magazines in general, Co-
hen adds, "I think you'll have to
wait until a change in campus life
comes about before you can create
a market for this type of maga-
zine."
Generation, the University's in-
ter-arts magazine, has also been
dormant due to financial difficul-
ties.
