"I am supporting George W. Alexander for
District Judge because I have worked with
him in his capacity as public defender and
found him dedicated and innovative. I have
worked with him in my capacity as a de-
liverer of medical services to this community
and have found him humane and receptive."
"I urge anyone who shares my perception
of the problems of here and now to vote for
George Alexander on Tuesday, November 5.

All Hallow's hunt
By DENISE WORRELL
"Looking for Gold, Anyone?"'
was the prospect on this All
Hallow's Eve. A treasure hunt,
you say? Rather, a haunting in-
vitation to track down the scene
of a potential murder-a grisly'
detective story, Edgar Allen Poe'
style.
It all started for this writer
with an anonymous letter ex-
plaining the crime and the
means to prevent it. The mad
tryst began: The first clue ap-
peared in the "P e r s o n a 1"
column of The Michigan Daily
classified ads: "Gold?" A phone3
number was listed. We called

of course, to search the base-
ment's dusty shelves for the
next clue, an economics book
called The Price of Gold. Hid-
den in the 37th page was a hand-
written message: "The price of
gold is high, but we know where
to find it at a DISCOUNT-

"Almost no one wants to go to court, but a court appearance puts an
additional burden on parents who must find and pay for a sitter, or day
care for their children. This discourages citizens from taking legitimate
grievances such as auto and household repair cases, to the small claims
division of the court.
"A day care facility will enable parents, who now exclude themselves
on the grounds of childcare hardship, to serve on jury duty for the first
time. Since the court and traffic violations bureou now provide the
.general fund with almost a half million dollars a year, it seems that the
court could provide a small sum to finance day care.
General fund
money comes directly from the citizens who use the district court, some
of this money should go back to these citizens-in the form of badly
needed court services.
