TO VOTE?* Students who have passed their 18th birthday may register to vote either in their home community or in the community where they reside as stu- dents. The student vote in Ann Arbor will be a significant force for pro- gress if students take the time to investigate the Ioct a I issues and consider them objectively. City elections in Ann Arbor are conducted on a partisan basis, and most administrators have been nominally Republican. Do you know which administration introduced the following into our local government? Fair Housing Ordinance? * Public Housing? * Human Relations Commission? *Sign Ordinance? * Park Land Acquisition? * Code Enforcement in Rental Housing? * Minority Hiring Policy? IF YOU CARE ABOUT ANN ARBOR AND ITS GOVERNMENT, REGISTER AND VOTE HERE. OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU, BRUSSELS (P) -Europeon Common Market nations ruled out yesterday any immediate trade curbs or other reprisals against the protectionist m'eas- ures President Nixon ordered last month. Foreign ministers of the six- nation community decided it was no time for harsh meas- ures that could escalate into a trade war with the United States. Instead, reliable delegation sources said, they reserved their right to retaliate later, m o s t likely by domestic measures to aid their industries hardest hit by Nixon's Package. In addition, the sources re- ported, a meeting of Common Market ,foreign, finance and ag- riculture ministers will convene in early November to work out a more detailed response. Ralph Dahrendorf, Common Market expert on foreign trade, told newsmen that yesterday's Smeeting "heralds the debut of Europe standing on its o w n two feet. Our problem now is (COUPON) . , a , Mr. Mini's Submarine: : FREE SOFT DRINK with | each Mr. Mini's purchase * i Offer good thru 10-1 -71 at S. University location only * that our position is still quite wobbly." He said Nixon's Aug. 15 eco- nomic package showed t h e United States must now concen- trate on its own economic jprob- lems and Europe can no long- er rely on the same level of American help in stabilizing the world trade and monetary sys- tems. Nixon's package included a 10 per cent surcharge on imports into the United States and an end to the link between the dol- lar and gold that had stabiliz- ed the international monetary system for 37 years. It set off a crisis expected to cost the Euro- peans some $2 billion a year in export sales to the United Stat- es. But instead of striking back with more curbs on foreign trade, the Common Market na- tions looked toward moves to compensatesat* home those in- dustries most* hurt by Nixon's action. Members of the Common Mar- ket are Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany. There was still sharp criticism of the Nixon measures, espec- ially the import surtax. T h e emphasis, however, was on keep- ing cool heads and a united front for further talks in Wash- ington later this month aimed at resolving the crisis. "We need not do anything spectacular today," Hans George Emde, West German state sec- retary for finance, told t h e meeting. Bonn had led the pres- sure against any decision on te- prisals now. Franco-Maria Malfatti, presi- dent of the Common Market's Executive Commission, presented the relatively low-key stand of no new foreign trade curbs now, but possible temporary compen- sation later to home industries most affected. " The community reserves the right to take compensatory or protective measures which in any case should be of a transi- tory nature," he said. His formula was immediately welcomed by the foreign min- isters and it was understood that Britain and the other na- tions seeking to join the Com- mon Market supported this stand. The other candidates are Denmark, Ireland and Norway. All were said to be generally agreed on these points for re- solving the monetary and trade crisis of the past month: -The U.S. objective of a $13- billion improvement in its bal- ance of payments is overambit- ious and too costly in terms of trade losses it will force on the Europeans. -A general realignment of exchange rates for the world's leading currencies should in- clude a dollar devaluation against gold, something t h e United States has categorically refused. ---The U.S. import surcharge should go. The meeting heard a separ- ate plea from Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann of France to coordinate efforts on the con- trol of narcotics and other drugs. Foreign Minister A 1 d o Moro of Italy, who presided, asked the French to submit for study a paper with formal pro- posals. And the Common Market agreed to open talks with the Atomic Energy Commission in Vienna toward bringing installa- tions for the peaceful uses of atomic energy under the con- trols of nuclear nonproliferation treaty.

E HA E So' ETH G I 4 you O T F D Ai Y HE E ELSE! 4 AN OPEN LETTER TO THE UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN COEDS I .... Now that you have been welcomed by the RA in your dorm and the friendly bookstore cashier, the women of Gamma Phi Beta would also like to extend their personal welcome to you. Our greeting however, is of a different type; not only are we glad you have chosen to become a part of the Ann Arbor community, we are extending an invitation to you personally to explore the many diverse facets of our particular sorority. Don't let that word turn you off so fast! If you claim that you're not interested because your mind is too open for that kind of thing, then maybe you had better take a second look. Do you really know what a sorority is, or do you still labor under the misconception that it's a big old house with funny looking letters over the door? In the past several years, the soror- ities at Michigan have undergone some pretty drastic changes. They are no longer the glam- orous social organizations of which your mother speaks, they are not the "in loco parentis" institutions which your older sister shunned, and they most certainly are not the exclusive cliques which popular opinion makes them out to be. You will find, if you choose to accept an invitation, that the sororities at Michigan, and Gamma Phi Beta in particular, are like an ever expanding collage. We are a conglomeration of distinctly different personalities joined to- gether by a time tested bond of friendship for the purpose of drawing the utmost from the university experience-academically, socially, and most important of all, personally. We have adopted a life style which presents the continual challenge of individual involvement, not so much of a string of Greek letters or a system of outdated ritual, but to another woman-your sister. We believe that we have a wealth of worthwhile ideas and experiences to share with you. But we also realize that there is an equal wealth on your part which may be shared with us, so we are taking the initiative in inviting you over to take a look at us. This coming Wednes- day and Thursday from 7-10 p.m. we are having an open house and we would very much like to have you stop by. After all, if you don't try a taste of something new how are you going to be able to formulate an honest opinion of it? And if you come and see and still don't thing that Gamma Phi is your bag, did it really hurt to expand your mind a little by meeting some new people? And so we welcome you to the University. We welcome you to it's independence, its vast store of knowledge, and its great reservoir of personal experience. But we also extend to you an invitation to sample the reservoir of experience and personality at Gamma Phi Beta. :..;r::.......; .......__ I
