YCU.sEE s APP CALL t-y)WLY Candidate quits Richard Ankli, who has been waging a half- hearted fight against Frank Shoichet as Human Rights Party (HRP) candidate for the Second Ward City Council race, has officially dropped out of the contest. "When Senator Mondale quit the race for the presidency, he said he lost his en- thusiasm for campaigning and his desire for the office; the same is true for me," Ankli said yes- terday. Ankli explained that he has decided that the duties of a councilperson involve more work than he is willing to do: "I was naive," he stated. During his short campaign, Ankli referred to him- self as "The Fool" because "fools are intelligent and sensitive." He wore a top hat to political functions during the race to remind voters of Abe Lincoln. Ankli had no previous experience with the HRP, but he said he decided that the party was more sympathetic in its desire to end racism, sexism and oppression. Nevertheless, Ankli's name will appear on the ballot Monday since he withdraw his candidacy later than the deadline. Streaking returns Streaking, that now almost forgotten college fad of a year ago, made a cold re-entry Thursday night at Michigan- State University in East Lansing. A group of 50 male students braved freezing tem- peratures to run naked through the campus. The activity ended when a police car appeared on the scene. All 50 hardy exhibitionists evaded arrest. Secret files The Michigan National Guard now admits that it kept scecret files on civilian dssident groups durng the late '60's. Major eneral John Johnston, Michigan's adjutant general, said yesterday that the files were compileddbyrthe army, but claimed the records had been detroyed in 1971. Officials admit that the files were kept on the local Weather- man chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) as well as the Rainbow People's Party because of their alleged role in the bombing of a CIA building in Ann Arbor.

That city's Governor's Commission on Drug Abuse has recom- mended that possession of pot be decriminalized, and it is expected that public hearings on the mat- ter will begin shortly there. If decriminalization legislation goes through, Madison will probably become "the second city of dope in the Midwest." " Carlin canned The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled that a New York City radio station's broadcast of a George Carlin comic monologue was "indecent and prohibited" by federal law. The broadcast, made in, October 1973, allegedly contained words that "depicted sexual and ex- cretory activities and organs in a. manner patently offensive by contemporary community standards . . . and the words were broadcast at a time children were 'undoubtedly' in the audience," according to the FCC. The commission was acting on listener complaints from listeners to radio station WBAI-FM. Belated apology Former President Richard Nixon, with almost every vistage of power stripped from him six months after his resignation, "regrets and agon- izes" over the Watergate affair. "It was wrong of me," he was reported to have said. Rabbi Baruch Korff, a close friend of the Nixon family and staunch defender of the Nixon Administration told a press conference that the Nixon home is sunk in depression and sadness as Nixon was forc- ed to dicharge the majority of his staff over the weekend.

IN ONE of the largest demonstrations since the Black Action Doly Photo by STEVE KAGAN NEARLY 2,500 SUPPORTERS of the Graduate Employes Organization (GEO) were drawn to the Di;g yesterday for a noon rally protesting what they termed the University's unwillingness to come to an agreement. GEO has been on strike since early Tues- day morning. (U'T GEO agree on bias clause, By JIM TOBIN The University and the GEO (Graduate Employes' Organiza- tion) have reached agreement on the GEO's demand for af- firmative action and non-dis- crimination-two important non- economic issues w h i c h have gained the union much of its publicity and support from other groups on campus. The Daily learned from a University source on Thursday that the affirmative a c t i o n clause had been won, and union leader Mark Kaplan confirmed that and also announced the non-discrimination victory at the GEO's massive rally on the Diag yesterday. THE UNION'S non-discrimin- ation proposal has apparently changed little since the negotia- tions were closed to the press and public last weekend. It call- ed for non-discrimination in University hiring and firing practices on the basis of age, race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, or sexual pref- erence. It was on this last provision which the University held out the longest. Previously they had claimed it was a private matter which had no place in a labor contract. While the affirmative action demand has not been changed theoretically, t h e prescribed procedure for its implementa- tion has been altered.

Dodging several snowballs, Rhodes mildly addressed the crowd saying, "I am very hap- py to stand here and listen to you speak, and will stay here as long as you have something to say. However, I am not sure shouting will help." The demonstrators, who re- mained relatively peaceful, quieted long enough to let Rhodes assert, "We believe we're making progress (in ne- gotiations). Of the eleven non- economic issues, almost all of them have been resolved. We continue to make substantial progress on economic issues, and believe they can be re- solved." KAPLAN replied to Rhodes' statement, yelling, "But we'll keep on demonstrating until there is a resolution." Following the demonstration GEO spokeswoman Mary Pad- en refuted Rhodes' claim say- ing, "Only two of the non-eco- nomic issues - affirmative ac- tion and non-discrimation - have thus far been initialed. And as for economic issues, we haven't even discussed them in the latest round of negotia- tions."

"Of the mitted to the Michigan State Bar in De- 1974, I estimate one-third are now un- at least concerning legal jobs."

U-M Law School Assistant Dean Charles Borgsdorf says, "law is viewed as more profit- able in the sense of being able to find jobs com- pared tot other graduate degrees." THERE SEEMS to have been a flight from graduate education in the humanities and sci- ences toward professional schools such as medi- cine, business and law. Borgsdorf also attri- butes the heightened interest to the activism of the 1960's. "Students in the 60's saw law as a vehicle for social change," he says. The profession itself has grown in the past 25 years but hardly at the same rate as schools have been producing graduates. The unsatisfied demand of several years ago has been replaced by an over-abundant supply. A large share of the blame for the oversupply See JOB, Page 2 Sirica to sentence Wga te four WASHINGTON (R) - U.S. District Judge John Sirica yes- terday rejected pleas for new trials or acquittals from the four men convicted in the Wat- ergate cover-up conspiracy and scheduled sentencing for next Friday. The former Nixon administra- tion aides are not expected to serve any time in prison while their appeals are pending. FORMER Atty. Gen. J o h n Mitchell, former White House aides H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, and former Asst. Atty. Gen. Robert Mardian were convicted on New Year's Day after a three-month trial. "None of the defendants have shown that a new trial would be in the interests of justice," Sirica said in a nine-page opin- ion and order which also denied motions for acquittal from all four conspirators. Mitchell, 61, director of Nix- on's 1972 re-election campaign, faces a maximum 25-year prison term and fines of $37,000. HALDEMAN, 48, Nix->n's White House chief of staff, conild receive up to 25 years in pri- son and fines of $21,000. Ehrlichman, 49, the White House domestic affairs chief tin- der Nixon, is vulnerable to a jail term of 20 years and a maximum fine of $35,000. Mardian, 51, a lawyer on the re-election committee staff, fac- es a maximum five years in jail and a $10,000 fine. MITCHELL, Haldeman a n d Ehrlichman were all convicted of conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice and var- ious counts of perjury or lying to a grand jury. Mardian was accused only in the conspiracy count. A fifth man, Kenneth Parkin- son, a private lawyer retained by the re-election committee, was acquitted. IN SAN Francisco, mean- Rackham emptied in fake bomb scare in 1973. B quarters o The Amer tinuous gi 1980. N By DAVID BURHENN About 700 persons were evacuated from Rackham last night after an anonymous woman caller told the city police that a "bomb was going off" inside the building at 7:30. No bomb was found, and the building was reopened an hour later. THE CALLER issued the warning to vhe Daily and the police at about 7:12. However, police and University security did not start clearing the building until approximately 7:25-minutes before the alleged bomb was to explode. One University security guard explained the delay, "The supervisor couldn't decide whether to get the people out or not." While acknowledging that he was the supervisor on duty last night, University security officer Robert Davenport would not comment on the time lag between the telephoned warning and the evacuation. ABOUT 650 students were taking a Bot-Zoo 106 examination in the Amphitheatre at the time .of the incident. SOME PERSONS taking the examination blamed the Graduate Employes Organization (GEO) for the threat, viewing the disrup- tion as a tati^ to spport the teaching assistants' strike.
