sponsors contest

By SU LIVELY
The Citizens Public Access TV'
committee is offering a free
color television and other prizes
to anyone who can design a new{

RENA COHEN, contest coor-

er and third prize will be anI
eight-band radio. Seven video-
tapes will be awarded for hon-

Michigan Cable TV, which op-
erates the local cable operation,
is required to operate a public
access channel, according to
Cohen. The headquarters for
public access television is at
305 S. Fifth Street.
Cohen says that the access
office has videotape materials

available free to the public and
a coordinator to train interested
persons in the use of the equip-;
ment. The center, open in the
summer of 1973, is open to all
interested individuals and
groups in the community.
The contest began on Sept. 9
and will run until Oct. 12. Entry
blanks and more information
can be obtained at the public
access office, the University
Cellar art department, the Ann
Arbor Public Library, City Hall
Information Center and local
art supply stores.
Most of the popular garden
flowers known today sprang
from the wild fields of Greece
and take their names from leg-
endary heroes and goddesses.

Rockefeller saidrhe declined.t
He gave no further details. r
HE SAID also that former
White House domestic adviser
John Ehrlichman wrote him
twice asking for contributionsj
for his defense in the WatergateE
cover-up trial.i
"From a humane point oft
view I'm embarrassed to sayt
that I did not answer the let-r
ters," Rockefeller said.
Much of the questioning cen-
tered on his views of how besti
to restore the troubled economy.
ROCKEFELLER said he be-
lieves President Ford and Sec-_
retary of State Henry Kissinger
have recognized that inflation
will be almost impossible to
control if oil-producing nations
continue to raise their prices.
Asked to comment on rumors
that Kissinger may leave the
government, Rockefeller said,
"I just cannot believe we wouldI
be shortsighted enough to lose
this man's talent at this mo-

"The signs used to say 'No Ve-

THE LEGEND of George P.
Wheeler spread rapidly that
summer, as the orientation lead-
ers began to incorporate him
in their campus tours. "We'd
tell students that George P.
Wheeler was a freshperson who
