Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) and 27 other State Representatives have proposed a new voter registration which would allow voters to reg- ister by simply mailing a postcard. Qualified per- sons would be allowed to register to vote by filling in a postage paid postcard form and mailing the signed card to the county clerk. They could also register at the polling place on election day. Simi- lar procedures have been instituted in New Jersey and Maryland. Hairy medicine Attorney General Frank Kelley yesterday said the process of hair transplants by the use of skin grafts to the scalp constitutes the prac- tice of medicine. Consequently, persons performing hair transplants must be doctors and subject to licensing and regulation. Hair transplants, he said, "is a method of cosmetic surgery designed to re- lieve a human complaint or other condition and thus constitutes the practice of medicine." Sounds logical. Make love, not cars Henry Ford II, head of the Ford automobile em- pire, was fined $375 and received a suspended 35- day jail sentence and two years probation yester- day when his attorney pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was charged with weaving and driving down the wrong side of the street. Police said he failed a sobriety test and was jailed for four hours before he was released on $375 bail. Officers said he was in the company of Kathleen Duross, 35, a Detroit model and interior decorator. Duross, a widow from Grosse Pointe, has worked in movies introducing new cars. " Dope note Three woman bus drivers were fired, and an- other suspended, for smoking marijuana between bus, runs, according to Lansing school officials. One source even said there was one. case in which a driver smoked "in front of the kids on the bus." But evidence also seems to show that the kids weren't exactly novices when it came to the illegal substance. One bus driver said one of the fired drivers "bought the stuff from the kids on her bus and smoked with her kids." " Happenings ... .refused to be stymied by midterms.

Nna n n o n,,r hat uso w to ein4mae stom By JIM TOBIN The bargaining teams for the University and the Graduate Employes' Organization (GEO) reached yet another impasse yes- terday after fruitful negotiations on Mon- day and Tuesday brought the parties to the very brink of a settlement. Representatives from the teams are scheduled to begin presenting their posi- tions to state-appointed fact-finder Patrick McDonald in Detroit no earlier than to- morrow and more likely on Monday. After hearing the cases for at least several days, McDonald will hand down his non-binding recommendation for a settlement. AS OF last night, no bargaining sessions were scheduled for today, though GEO leaders said they planned to call Univer- sity representatives this morning to re- quest such a session. Earlier in the week both sides made concession on their proposals and it ap- peared that the two-week-old strike was about to end. But yesterday the GEO rejected a pack- age proposal which chief University nego- tiator Charles Allmand called the adminis- tration's final offer, and in turn the Uni- versity refused a package offer from the GEO. A short meeting of a few represen- tatives from the teams failed to bring further movement from either side. "IT WAS worthwhile," said University counsel William Lemmer, as he emerged from the bargaining room on the third floor of the Union. "They worked hard and we worked hard and we came close, but close only counts in horseshoes." Speaking at GEO'S mass meeting at the First Methodist Church last night, union spokesman David Gordon denounced All- mand's claim that the University has made a "final" offer. "They're like the boy who cried wolf. Their first offer was their 'last' offer, their latest offer was their 'last offer', he com- mented. "The only ultimate offer will be the one we accept. "WHAT THE University is waiting for is the GEO to collapse, and our strike will not collapse until we have a package," he added. Economics, agency shop, and definition of fraction are the three major disputes which continue to divide the parties, al- though on economics they are very close to agreement. Of the three issues agency shop appears to be the toughest to resolve. Indeed, it is apparent that a total settlement will be quickly forthcoming once agency shop is resolved. THE POSITIONS of both parties on the three disputes follow: * Agency shop. The GEO membership voted last night to toughen up their pro- posal and called for a full agency shop, which would provide for every graduate employe to either join the union or pay a service fee to the union in the amount of union dues. The GEO bargaining teams had pre- viously made a concession on the offer which would allow all graduate employes See NEGOTIATIONS, Page 2 Daily Photo by STUART HOLLANDER CHIEF GEO NEGOTIATOR Sandy Wlkinson addresses a mass meeting of 400 GEO members at the First Methodist Church last night.

REGISTRATION DRIVE: SGC By TIM SCHICK Mistrust between Student Gov- ernment Council (SGC) officers has apparently caused a delay in the distribution of leaflets encouraging students to register to vote. Council approved a motion three weeks ago to distribute letters informing students of the March 10 registration deadline for the April city elections. How- ever, President Reddix Allen, who reportedly does not trust Treasurer Elliot Chikofsky to handle monetary affairs, has withheld distribution until he can determine if SGC has the money to go ahead with the plan. "I WAITED until Gary Baker (a council member) told me stalls voter leaflet that there was enough money," said Allen. "I plan to conduct an independent audit of SGC funds." Despite warnings from Demo- cratic and Human Rights Party members that students will not receive the letters until after the registration deadline if there is more delay, Allen said they may not even be printed until next week. According to him, this would still leave enough time for the letters to arrive before students return from spring break. How- ever, classes start March 10, leaving students only one day to register. "Waiting this long to dis- tribute the letter is worse than not doing it at all," said Greg Hebert, democratic chairman of the Second Ward. He went on to say that had SGC not agreed to undertake the task, the Democrats would have al-, ready done it. ACCORDING to Lana Pollack a spokeswoman for the Demo- crats, a similar voter registra- tion drive last fall drew over 1500 to the Union site during one week. On Monday this week, however, only 18 people registered to vote in the Union. When David Faye, council ac- tivist and associate of Allen, was asked why Allen wished to investigate SGC's financial af- fairs when Chikofsky was sup- posedly monitoring them, he re- plied, "What non-entity are you talking about?" According to Chikofsky, the total cost of the mailing would See VOTER, Page 2 'Waiting this long to distribute the letter is worse than not doing it at all.' -Democratic chairman Greg Hebert i ... ... . ...
