Losers, winners
LAST TUESDAY, the people
of Ann Arbor went to great
lengths to preserve the town's
nonconformist image. When the
whole nation wreaked vengeance
for Watergate and inflation by
voting Democratic, this peculiar
city managed to buck the trend
by electing Republicans.
It was a difficult outcome to
explain, but candidate images
and voter apathy may provide1
some of the answers. The big
loser was Second District Con-
gressional hopeful John Reuther,
the temporary darling of the
Democratic National Commit-
tee, the boyish nephew of labor
king Walter Reuther. Party
strategists at first saw in Reu-

ther the magical catalyst for
-a student-worker constituency,
but when the ballots were
counted early Wednesday morn-
ing, incumbent Mary Esch kept
his seat with about five per-
centage points to spare.
Long before Election Day,
Reuther's Ann Arbor staffers
were grumbling about lack of
funds and recognition from the
Ypsilanti headquarters; the can-
didate, they said, must doff
his slickly charismatized image
in favor of idealism to capture
the campus constituency.
The advice was not far wrong:
lack of solid support in student
wards created the crucial gap
in Reuther's vote totals.
T E OTHER BIG GOP win
here was the re-election of
State Sen. Gil Bursley, a mod-
erate Republican with an im-
pressive record as chairman of
the senate's education commit-
tee. Unlike many incumbents,

Bursley is untainted: other
than a last-minute charge by
Democratic challenger Peter
Eckstein of abusing state mail
privileges, the senator has cul-
tivated an image of wisdom and
skill. Eckstein, an economics
professor, won enough student,
votes to give Bursley a close
race.
State Rep. Perry Bullard had
to settle for a squeaker re-
election over Republican Rae
Weaver, whose main political
experience consists of working
as Mayor James Stephenson's
secretary. Bullard was prob-
ably correct in attributing his
problems to a relatively low
student turnout.
It may also be that Bullard's
shenanigans - smoking mari-
juana in the Diag, letting his
supporters show pornographic
films, getting arrested for hitch-
hiking, to name a few-finally
got the non-liberals of the 53rd
district to get out and vote
against him.
For the Human Rights Party,
it was another rough election
night. The radicals' "best" vic-
tory hope-county commissioner
candidate Marty Wegbreit-got
soundly thrashed by Cathy Mc-
Clary, a relatively unknown
Democrat.
BENEATH THE visible fig-
ures, Tuesday's voting con-
tained a time bomb: with the
passage of preferential ballot-
ing for mayor, you can bet
your last $5 dope ticket that
the GOP will get blown out of
city hall next April.
The preferential voting sys-
tem, to use the most relevant
example, allows HRP lovers to1
vote for their mayoral can-
didate, but let their second
choice-likely the Democrat-
count as a vote if the HRP
hopeful comes in third.
As HRP and most Democrats
are quick to point out, the new
voting system would have spell-

For most Republicans in the
nation, the tragedy of 1974 is
probably a one-shot deal. But
in nonconformist Ann Arbor,'
preferential voting will make
the GOP's agony linger into
1975. And 1976, and 1977 . .

GEO rebuffed
Back at the a', it was
business - as - usual, and this
year, the phrase can only mean
one thing: money troubles. This
time it was the Graduate Em-
ployes' Organization presenting
economic contract demands to
the University bargainers and,'

year of the two-year pact, and
that leaves a lot of room for
negotiation.
At Friday's bargaining ses-
sion, the gap did not even begin
to close. Both sides repeated
their familiar arguments: GEO
dema-ded "a living wage" and
cited the 11 per cent inflation
rate; the University insisted
that part-time teachers don't
deserve fell-time salaries. But
)-e new element appeared: Uni-
"!ersity negotiator Charles All-
mand injected the "limited pie"
factor.
"We've gone to the limit of
what we can offer," Allmand
said after the meeting. "We just
don't know where these funds
will come from."
