Yes- terday we erred in reporting that the speech was scheduled for yesterday morning. A group called the Revolutionary Student Brigade has scheduled an anti-McGovern rally outside Hill during the speech. The brigade claims McGovern has ignored the plight of Indians in South Dakota. Burgoyne 'unqualified?' The Washtenaw County Bar Association has rated Republican lawyer Shirley Burgoyne "un- qualified" in her bid for the new 15th District Court judgeship. Burgoyne immediately branded the bar "prejudiced" against women and yesterday said the rating, which was released with the bar's evaluations of the other six candidates, is "not bas- ed on any facts at all." The ratings are based on a poll of the bar's members - some 250 local at- torneys. " 833 and 695 .. . .are this week's winning lottery numbers. The second chance numbers are 061 and 673.

" Campaign reform Congress completed action yesterday on a Water- gate-triggered election bill designed to reduce the influence of special interests and control the flow of campaign money. The bill, sent to President Ford for his signature by a vote of 365-24 in the House, would finance the 1976 presidential elec- tion and nominating conventions with public funds. It would also apply strict limits to the amount of money candidates for President and Congress can spend, and on the contributions individuals and organizations can make to their campaigns. At the White House, Press Secretary Ron Nessen said "no final decision has been made by the President whether he will sign it or not." Mills confesses Representative Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) admitted yesterday that he was involved in a bizarre post- midnight episode that started with a high-speed police chase and ended with a former striptease dancer diving into a Potomac River inlet. Mills broke four days of silence by issuing a three-page statement giving his account of the sequence of events around 2 a.m. Monday. Mills said: "Of course, I am embarrassed and humiliated by the entire turn of events and I want to apologize for discomfort my involvement caused all of the well- wishers who have expressed their genuine con- cern."

According to several county commissioners, the board will easily pass a resolution initiating the bond 'flotation-setting in motion a 45-day referendum period when petitions may be filed protesting the bond issue, thus forcing approval by voters. TO FORCE a referendum, five per cent of the county's registered voters must protest ERIM through petitions requiring some 6,900validated signatures. nay decide According to Robert Guenzel, corporation coun- sel for the commissioners, a simple majority- eight votes-are needed to pass the proposal to issue bonds. The vote is expected Nov. 6. ERIM, formally the University's Willow Run Laboratories until January, 1973, asked the county for industrial development bonds which charge half the interest rate of most outside financing. HOWEVER, leaders of the anti-ERIM group admit their lobbying efforts are futile and are discussing a petition drive against ERIM. pressed confidence that with "a successful peti- tion drive . . . we can organize, get it together, and get it on the ballot." DAVID GOODMAN, spokesman for the Human Rights Party (HRP), which belongs to the anti- ERIM effort, said yesterday he had little doubt of the party's ability to organize a petition cam- paign. HRP has run successful petition campaigns for rent control last winter and preferential voting for mayor this summer-both city-wide issues requiring over 3,000 signatures. The anti-ERIM committee has termed the in- stitute "a multi-million dollar research complex that does primarily war related research." WILLIAM BROWN, ERIM's president, has re- ERIM funding sponded that "approximately one-half of our activities are funded by the Defense Depart- ment," but points out that other projects have investigated water pollution and other environ- mental issues. Brown contends the research institute is using military research technology for many non- military purposes. The committee against ERIM has attacked the institute's proposed move, claiming that "local economic development must be based on pro- duction for human needs, not for the destruction of human life." POINTING OUT that ERIM employs some 450 well-paid people, Brown points out his staff "should be considered an asset to the county.

But the glamorous guests at last night's Republican fund- raiser at Cobo Hall ate it and loved it. And they should have. They paid $50 for it. THE GUESTS appeared in a glittering array of costumes ranging from K-Mart silver spangled slippers to shocking red ostrich feathers.

LEGALITY QUESTIONED: GU, official organizes effort to oppose clerical unionizat0on By PAUL HASKINS A major University official yesterday presentedyover 100 assembled professional and ad- ministrative staff members with an extensive plan for countering the clerical unioniz- ation effort. Union officials said they in- tend to determine whether un- fair labor practice charges should be leveled against the University on the matter. WILLIAM NEFF, head of the University's Office of Staff and Union Relations, detailed the "no union" strategy in a two- hour, invitation-only meeting with professional staffers in the Natural Science building. Si Sx parties compete for SGC positions By TIM SCHICK Second of two parts Next week, students will select their Student Government Council representatives - perhaps for the last time under the present system. The fate of SGC appears to hang in the balance as students choose between six different parties and vote on several ballot questions. The last three SGC elections have been laced with charges of fraud, and observers agree the Board of Regents will be keeping a close eye on next Tuesday's contest before deciding whether to overhaul or possibly disband the present student gov- ernment. ONLY FOUR of the six parties that have coalesced this year are running candidates for president and vice president. Neff, a lawyer and leading labor negotiator, encouraged the assembled supervisors to ar- range discussion sessions on the hearings issue with their clerical subordinates. Edwin Fabre, a Detroit-based United Auto Workers (UAW) attorney, later claimed, "Neff may well have jeopardized the University's neutral position. Of course, we intend to have our Ann Arbor staff look into it to see if any unfair labor practices laws have been vio- lated. VICKY NEIBERG, former chief AFSCME representative at Michigan State University (MSU) and chairwoman of the Michigan Women's Caucus, labeled Neff's presentation as "patently illegal" but not sur- prising. "Bill, Neff understands in a very real way how very imortant secretaries are to in- stitutions," Neiberg said. "Al- though they've been payed so little in the past, he also knows how much power they'd have if organized. As clericals con- tinuie to organize, Neff and others went them to form 'as- sociations,' because a company union is run by the administra- tion." Neiberg charged that Neff helped to set up a company (non-international) union at MSU last year which still hasn't managed to secure a contract with management after more than a year. Neff could not be reached for comment on the Neiberg allega- tions. UNIVERSITY COUN- sel Roderick Daane claimed the University didn't jeopardize its stance through Neff's role at the meeting. He added, "I don't agree that the University is prohibited from taking a public position on unionization matters." However, a leaflet accom- panying Neff's presentation noted, "As a public institution, the University cannot actively take a position for or against unionization." Neff downplayed the UAW's economic punch in a Univer- sity setting. "Unions are under a legal constraint not to strike: there's a difference between what they say (when threatening fines against uncooperative members during strikes) and what they can do." See 'U', Page 7 U. S. military aid to Turkey, an interest of the free world" and cause "further bloodshed" in Cyprus. Turkey and Greece have been battling over the Mediterranean island for several months. Last night Ford asked Congress to give him and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger 60 days to find a "meaningful solution" to the crisis. "The United States must have the tools necessary to the task," Ford said. "Congress denies them at great risk." F L A N K I N G T H E President at the dinner were Governor William Milliken, Sen. Robert Griffin (R-Mich.), and a number of other leading state Republicans. The $50-a-plate dinner, held at Cobo Hall, reportedly raised several hundred thousand dol- lars for Milliken's re-election campaign against Democrat Sander Levin. In a brief speech, Milliken blasted Levin for making "ex- aggerated and distorted" pro- mises to the voters. "Michigan cannot afford four years of Sandy Levin," he said. FORD, WHO for 25 years served as a U. S. congressman from Grand Rapids, returned to his home state yesterday as part of a stepped-up series of appearances before the Novem- ber election. During the 45-minute address which was frequently interrupt- ed by applause, Ford asked Americans to become "zealous salesmen" for his massive pro- gram to end inflation. The plan, disclosed Tuesday, hinges on a tax surcharge to be levied on individuals earning more than $7,500, families mak- ing more than $15,000, and all corporate income.

EARLY THIS morning, they forecast the party might have an overall majority of no more than about six seats in the 635- member House of Commons.' This would still be an im- provement on the minority gov- ernment which Labor estab- lished following the last gener- al election in February. If he stayed in office for the full five-year term, Wilson would become the longest serv- ing British prime minister in this century.
