University Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor)
apparently has higher ambitions than merely serv-
ing the state witout pay. A press release sent to
our office claims that Baker "has been named in
published news reports as a possible Republican
candidate for the U, S. Senate in 1976." Reading
between the thinly disguised lines Baker is after
the post, although the release goes on to claim
he's not a candidate for any political office. Not
yet.
Towerinig inferno
The city almost had its towering inferno yester-
day when a fire swept through several floors of
the Ann Arbor Inn. Four people were hospitalized
for smoke inhalation, burns, and cuts. The fire
started in a corner room on the seventh floor, and
though most of the damage was confined to that
area, several rooms were gutted and the entire
floor is unusable. Also, two elevators were put out
of commission, and the eighth and sixth floors are
slightly damaged. The cause of the blaze is still
being investigated.
Print out
It was a case of 24-hour censorship. When a
group of law students last weekend asked the Uni-
versity Cellar to reproduce leaflets concerning a
lettuce boycott, some employes there refused to
cooperate, because they disagreed with the anti-
boycott tone of the material. Miffed by this ob-
stacle, the students took their business elsewhere,
but came back the next day. This time, they asked
the Cellar to run off copies of a statement blasting
the store's policies. An apologetic manager, how-
ever, explained that the employes' actions had, in-
deed, violated the store's real policy of printing
anything its customers want. "We don't get into
judgments as to what we can sell and what we
can't," he said, "unless there are legal problems."
Countered print shop employe Mark Gold, "I
wouldn't want my labor to be used to hurt an-
other laborer."

Big buck news
Even though times are tough, financial aid, es-
pecially that for minority students, will be avail-
able at the University at pre-budget cut levels
through the spring half-term. Associate Vice Presi-
dent for Academic Affairs Richard English, who is
responsible for student financial aid said, "The
University budget cuts which are now under con-
sideration for fiscal 1975-76 are not being applied
to the current budget allocation for financial aid
to students, including minorities." He added that a
review of the Office of Minority Affairs at the
Rackham Graduate School is currently under way
to "improve the delivery of services in the finan-
cial aids area to minority students at the Graduate
School." He stressed the review "is not designed
to cut the funds available for minority student fi-
nancial aid."

By JIM TOBIN
Sources within the inner circles of the Uni-
versity and the GEO (Graduate Employes Or-
ganization) revealed last night that the Univer-
sity has barely budged on its economic offer
since negotiations between the two parties moved
behind closed doors last weekend.
"Then University has not moved at all on
economics for 1974-75 and has made but very
little movement for 1975-76," said the GEO
source, who is close to the bargaining.
"IN GENERAL that's true," confirmed the
University official. "One of the things is there's
just no money for this year. In general we aren't
very damn far apart. Affirmative action was
solved days ago. There are some darn hard
nuts 'to crack. One of them is money and an-
other is class size, and agency shop may be
hard too."
The University source referred to the GEO

demand for a limit in discussion sections of
twenty-five students, and their demand for an
agency shop clause, which provides for the pay-
ment of a service fee to the GEO from all non-
members.
The affirmative action proposal was one which
called for the University to raise the staff popu-
lations of blacks, women, Chicanos, and Native
Americans to the corresponding populations of
these groups in the state.
BEFORE THE weekend, the University had
proposed a four percent average salary increase
effective September, 1975 or a raise equal to
that of the faculty, whichever is greater. They
also offered to freeze the tuition rate for all
GSAs (Graduate Student Assistants) working ten
or more hours per week.
In contrast, the GEO had demanded a five per

Jp07
cent raise effective January, 1975, and a fur
seven per cent raise for the 1975-76 year. 'I
also proposed a fee of $200 in lieu of tuition.
Though the bargaining teams have reporte
agreed on two undisclosed non-economic iss
this latest information indicates that the (
strike will continue indefinitely. Eleven iss

NEW YORK (IP) - President
Ford accused the Democratic-
controlled Congress yesterday
of threatening "to bring our
successful foreign policy to a
standstill" and contributing to
a breakdown of agreements with
the Soviet Union.
In what aides billed /as a ma-
jor foreign policy address, de-
livered at a black tie dinner
here honoring Vice President
Nelson Rockefeller, Ford em-
ployed some of his strongest
language yet against Capitol
Hill.
IE BLAMED Congress for "a
self - inflicted wound" that
impairs relations with Turkey,
an "indiscriminate and hasty
act" damaging ties with Ecua-
dor, Venezuela, Nigeria and
Indonesia, as well as moves
contributing to the breakdown
of a trade agreement with the
Soviets.
In the same address, Ford
announced Rockefeller will
serve as vice chairman of the
Domestic Council. He also said
two key Rockefeller aides will
hold' the top staff jobs on the
important White House panel
dealing with all facets of domes-
tic policy.
To be executive director of
the council, Ford named Rocke-
feller's special assistant James
Cannon, 56, who had been
chairman of the Rockefeller-
sponsored Commission on Criti-
cal Choices for Americans.
RICHARD Dunham, New
York State's budget director
when Rockefeller was gover-
nor, was designated deputy di-
rector of the council.
Ford called on Congress to re-
store the bipartisan spirit that
marked American foreign poli-
cy indthe years after World
War II.
"In this difficult time the
American people expect respon-
sible conduct from individual
members of the Congress and

from the Congress as a whole,
as well as from the President,"
Ford said.
N E G O T I A T I O N S
sponsored by Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger to settle the
Cyprus conflict "broke down
because of congressional insist-
ence that military assistance to
Turkey be terminated," the
President charged.
"This action," he went on,
"I am convinced is a self-in-

flicted wound - it will serious-
ly impair our relations with a
valued ally and achieve no
benefit whatever."
Congress also jeopardized the
benefits promised from the
1974 Trade Act by attaching
"an unfortunate amendment"
penalizing several friendly na-
tions, he said.

to the trade act resulted in the

One week ago this morning,
the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) padlocked the two local
Vaudeville Delicatessens f o r
"non-payment of Internal Rev-
enue taxes."
But according to its owner,
Leonard Dennison, "Hopefully
we'll be open again this Tues-
day or Wednesday."
"ON A SCALE of 1 to 100,"
Dennison said, 'the chances of
us opening this weekend is

seven.
"On that same scale," he add-
ed, "there is a 93 per cent
chance that we will open on
Tuesday or Wednesday. I am
not discounting the extra seven
though."
Dennison is presently search-
ing for an investor or business-
person that will lend him the
necessary funds to reopen the
two Ann Arbor restaurants. He
predicts, however, that he will
have to file under chapter 11 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Act:

Debtor in Possession.
In the case that his declara-
tion of bankruptcy is accepted,
Dennison will re-open for busi-
ness as usual with the under-
standing that payment will be
made as soon as possible. Ike
owes the government "under
$50,000."
ACCORDING to Dennison,
Daniel Murphy, an IRS agent,
came to the restaurant without
warning, posted some notices,

'U' students discover summer
employment market drying up

By ELAINE FLETCHER
For the past three summers
Jeff has been a short order cook
at the racetrack.
This year he decided to try
something different and began
looking for civil service jobs,
park, forestry, department
store jobs - "anything and
everything but factories cause
they're all laying off."

HE FINALLY decided this
was a bad year to be picky
and went back to re-apply at
the old hot dog stand. But it's
closed and racing has been
cancelled this summer.
He's been looking for other
cook jobs since before Christ-
mas with no success. "The

WASHINGTON - President
Ford today named Assistant
Attorney General Carla Hills as1

While all the good jobs dis-
appeared quickly last summer,
even the old midnight shifts at
the local greasy spoons seem
to be drying up well ahead of
time this year.
"THERE are still a few re-
sort jobs left," suggests Ann
Cooper of the University's Ca-
reer Planning and Placement
Office. "And Cedar Point is
coming to interview later in
the spring," she adds.
In the past most of the peo-
ple who sought her guidance
were underclasspeople looking
for camp, waitress, resort or
secretarial openings which pay
somewhere between $350 and
$1,000 a summer.
However, with hourly jobs
in retailing and most industry
virtually nonexistent, an in-
creasing number of 20-to-21-
year-olds are opting for a
summer at some out of the
way camp or tourist spot, where
previous experience may as-
sure them a position.
