The winners were Republican- backed candidates Wendy Bar- hydt and Peted Wright and lib- eral-endorsed Tanya Israel. Their victories bring member- ship on the school board to a 6-3 conservative to liberal bal- ance, since they replace three conservatives who did not seek re-election. , BARHYDT (the top runner with 6,913 votes), interpreted her victory as a sign voters agree that 'we've got to teach the basic skills" and that "dis-1 cipline is important." Wright stressed the issue of CURIOUS USED BOOK SHOP, TOO 340 S. State/Upstairs 761-0112 COMICS (New & Used), SCIENCE FICTION, MAGA- ZINES & POSTERS, & USED BOOKS of all types. schools." Israel, who was endorsed by a coalition of Democrats known as the "liberal caucus" gar- nered 6,027 votes. She expressed "extreme disappointment" at the defeat of the school millage proposal, but predicted, "This' will be a more open, more co-. operative kind of board, at least this is my hope." DURING THE school b oa r d campaign, conservative candi- dates called for increased cen- tralization of curriculum control, while liberals and radicals term- ed coordination a route to un- necessary rigidity. The liberal-endorsed and Hu- man Rights Party (HRP) candi- dates strongly criticized Plan F, a proposal which would re- locate about 800 elementary and secondary school students by busing North Campus children to relieve overcrowding at Hur", on High School. In vote totals compiled at Pioneer High School on election night, the candidates lined up as follows: Barhydt, 6,913; Wright, 6,673; Israel, 6,027; Stanley Bielby 5,361; Will Simpson, 5,- curriculum standardization in 011; E.

The millage was proposed to cover "operating expenses" of the city's schools over the next five years - including inflation costs, maintenance, and crea- tion of curriculum co-ordinator and attendance counselor posts. The majority of the candidates supported passage of the mill in- crease, which was defeated by more than 1,800 votes. THE ELECTION drew some 16,000 votes, 1,000 more than turned out last year. Typically, voting was sparse in the stu- dent-dominated First and Se- cond Wards. HRP candidates Astrid Beck, who received 2,446 votes, com- mented, "It becomes evident to me that the liberals in this town aren't going to win elec- tions until they align themselves with the student voters." Beck and HRP hopeful Larry Mann ran on a radical platform of community and student con- trol of the schools. Beck said the returns were "very incon- sistent" because voters defeated the millage increase but elect- ed candidates who supported the tax hike, which HRP opposed. MANN, 14, ran a write-in campaign after school officials refused to accept hisnominat- ing petitions, citing state laws prohibiting peple under 18 from holding elected office. He received 304 votes, a low total compared to approximately 1,500 garnered by 15-year-old HRP candidate Sonia Yaco in 1972. Mann pointed out that HRP ran a "stronger campaign" for CURIOUS USED BOOK SHOP, TOO 340S .

Those oppos- ing the conservative hopefuls included 'Beck, Cash, Chikofsky, Israel, Mann, and Simpson. According to board member Henry Johnson, also University Vice President for Student Ser- vices, "A fantastic number of excellent candidates have been competing over the liberal vote - and they've tended to negate one another." The surprise element in June's election, however, a prolifera- tion of conservative candidates. On election night, outgoing school board member Theodore Heusel claimed Israel won a seat because of a crowded con- servative field. Besides the7 three Republican-backed candi- dates - Barhydt, Wright, and Bielby - hopefuls Binder and Kolasa split.the conservative support, Heusel contended. AFTER THE millage defeat, Secretary to the Board of Edu- cation Leroy Cappaert' said he could not predict the precise budget cuts which will result from the los of hoped-for re- venues. The millage would have gen- erated $1 million annually for the next five years. SThe schools had not prepared a list of items to be 'cut from the operating budget in case the millage failed. Although Super- intendent Harry Howard h a d proposed ways of spending the millage revenue, Cappaert said the items in that proposal, in- cluding creation of curriculum co-ordinator and attendance posts, will not necessarily lose their funding, since the board can revise the whole school budget.

As you may or may not know, the "Daily" is the voice of the students here at the University. It is managed and edited by the students under the protective eyes of the Board for Student Publications which is made up of University students, faculty and staff. In other words, we are completely independent of control by the Regents. This somewhat unique freedom is highly valued by our staff. We consider it to be the main difference between us and other college papers you may have had contact with. Other differences include: 0 We publish 6 days a week. 0 Our staff is composed entirely of students (i.e. our Business Manager and Editors are students). 0 We are one of the few remaining let terpress papers in the country which means we can do the printing on our premises with our antique press. " We have a staff of professional printers. * We don't steal any of your tuition money. 0 AND WE HAVE A NICKEL COKE MACHINE FOR STAFF MEMBERS. Our above-mentioned freedom also has its drawbacks-most notably since we don't ap- propriate any University funds we must rely solely on circulation and advertising rev- enues to keep going. The "Daily" publishes Tuesday thru Sunday mornings during the academic year and Tues- day thru Saturday during the summer. It is filled with University news as well as national and local news. The sports staff con- centrates on University sports for the most part, but also covers professional teams. And our classified ads are filled with interesting personals as well as the normal informative what your particular interests are. There will be a Mass Meet- ing for interested parties tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. Feel free to come to the meeting or drop by our offices at 420 Maynard St. anytime and talk to our 'staff. We will be happy to show you around. This is your newspaper! We need your support.
