HRP Second Ward City Council candidate Frank
Shoichet yesterday claimed his opponent Carol
Jones and State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor)
are "wasting their time" in seeking an opinion
from the state Attorney General to keep him off
the ballot. Shoichet took a pot-shot at the Dems
in his press statement, adding, "It's unfortunate,
however, that the Democrats don't seem to be
willing to risk an election in which their opposition
will be on the ballot."
Stroke strikes
Former University Professor and local indus-
trialist Keeve Siegel collapsed from a stroke while
testifying Thursday before the joint Congressional
Committee on Atomic Energy in Washington and
died at 5 a.m. yesterday at George Washington
University Hospital. In Washington, D.C., Siegel,
a world-famous physicist and inventor in the field
of optics, has been called "the wonder boy" in
local industrial circles after founding Conductron
Corp. on a shoestring and building it into a multi-
million-dollar radar and electro-optics industry.
More, recently, he had dedicated himself to the
achievement of controlled nuclear fusion at his
KMS Fusion Inc. Laboratories in Industrial Park.

Travelers tale
Penniless, and carrying all his possessions in a
small duffle bag, 14-year-old Mike Romano arrived
in Omaha by bus about 5 a.m. yesterday, then
marched to the police station. Mike, who is small
for his age, walked in and presented the desk ser-
geant with a note from his grandmother in
Brooklyn, N.Y. The note read: "To whom it may
concern, I'm Michael's grandmother, and am
sending Michael to Boys Town because I don't
want him to be here in this awful crime city. I
can't take care of him anymore. I spent my last
penny to buy his ticket to come there. I hope that
he will be O.K. I would appreciate very much if
you help him." The letter, signed Mary Vaughn,
contained a telephone number. Police called Mrs.
Vaughn and found the note was indeed legitimate.
The Rev. Robert Hupp, Boys Town- director, heard
of Mike's arrival on an early morning radio news-
cast and about four hours later Mike checked in
as a Boys Town resident.
An end to Watergate?
Frederick LaRue, the first person to plead guilty
to the Watergate cover-up and possibly the last to
be sentenced, received a six-month prison term
yesterday. Moments later, James McCord lost his
last-ditch fight against going to prison for the
Watergate break-in. U.S. DistricttJudge John Sirica
sentenced LaRue to one to three years in prison,
then suspended all but six months of the penalty.
The soft-spoken Mississippi oil heir pleaded guilty
more than 20 months ago to conspiring to obstruct
justice.

somethin
before a capacity crowd at Hill Auditorium yes-
terday, blasted American food producers for
selling goods of questionable nutritional value.
"The hot dog is an example," he declared. "It
consists of fat, water, a little meat, and trash.
And in all-beef hot dogs, what little meat there
is is beef, but there's as much as 35 per cent fat."
HE PROPOSED nutritional education and the
formation of community food coops as a means
of increasing consumer influence on producers.
The audience applauded enthusiastically Na-
der's criticism of large food companies. The
attorney recounted a conversation with a Coca-
Cola executive.
" 'Your job,' I told him, 'is to feed the people
"HE SAID, 'Our job is to give them a refresh-
ing drink,' " Nader continued. "He should be
ashamed of pumping Coca-Cola into people who
are starving."
Nader warned that in many areas of the coun-
try corporate farming is destroying the land it
uses. "The big combines of 10-15,000 acres don't
know how to manage a farm," he declared.
AS SOLUTIONS to the problems of food nutri-
tion and distribution, Nader proposed establishing
consumer co-ops, enforcement of anti-trust laws

compensation pay case
scope yesterday, bringing in
two athletic figures with
offbeat life-styles and radi-
cal political opinions.
The latest developments
centered on Jack Scott, for-
mer athletic director at
Oberlin College and the or-
ganizer of a movement for
radical athletes, and Bill
Walton, a star basketball
player for the Portland
Trailblazers of the National
Basketball Association.
A SOURCE CLOSE to the case
told The Associated Press that
Scott and his wife, Micki Mc-
Gee, were among several per-
sons being investigated by a
grand jury in Harrisburg, Pa.,
that is looking into the Hearst
case.
The whereabouts of Scott, 33,
are not known. The Long Island
newspapersNewsday,tquoting
sources, said the Scotts had
been in contact with the missing
heiress and her fugitive cohorts
from the Symbionese Liberation
Army and may in fact be with
them.
And the San Francisco Chron-
icle said the FBI has "documen-
tary evidence" that the Scotts
were involved in renting a farm-
house where Hearst's finger-
prints were reportedly found.
It said therSLA group fled back
toward the West Coast because
it feared the FBI was closing
in on it.
TIMOTHY O'Sullivan, a New
York City fireman who said he
owned the house in South Ca-
naan, Pa., said yesterday a
woman named Micki Scott told
him she wanted to rent the
house with some other writers
because they needed privacy.
O'Sullivan said he had been
interviewed by the FBI.
Scott's parents are believed
to live in a Las Vegas apart-
ment house. John Scott is the
apartments' manager, but he
refused to talk to newsmen. A
tenant, however, said he under-
stood the manager was Jack
Scott's godfather.
Walton's lawyer, C h a r Ie s
Garry, said his client was ques-
tioned by the FBI in San Fran-
cisco Wednesday about the
Hearst case. Garry. said the
qu~estioning lasted about 20 min-
utes and focused on the Scotts,
who had been living with Wal-
ton near Portland, Ore.
"BILL WAS cooperative but
he couldn't tell them anything
because he doesn't know any-
thing," Garry said of Walton,
who last year signed a $2 mil-
lion contract with the Trail-
blazers. "He and the Scotts are
friends but he hasn't seen them
for several weeks and he knows
nothing of the SLA or Patricia
Hearst."
The Pennsylvania grand jury
has been investigating reports
that Hearst was in the north-
east part of the state last fall.

The Markley House Council
has come under attack and faces
legal action after an apparently
illegal move last month allocat-
ing $475 in "compensation" to
its eight top officers.
In addition, Markley House
President Claudia Evans has
refused to show financial rec-
ords to residents . of Markley
Hall.
THE SCANDAL broke Feb-
ruary 13, when the council, tired
over its inability to obtain the
necessary quorum of 25, voted
by a 6-4 margin to grant them-
selves the compensation. Since
that time, however, four of the
officers have returned the
money.
As a result of the allocation,
a class action suit has been filed
by three Markley residents on
behalf of the dorm population
againsththe MarkleyCouncil
with the Central Student Ju-
diciary (CSJ). Until the case
is considered by CSJ next Tues-
day, a freeze has been placed on
the council funds, preventing
them from allocating any, fur-
ther money.
The suit charges that Mark-
ley Council allocated the money
in the absence of a quorum and
in violation of:
-parliamentary law as stated
in Roberts Rules of Order;
-The Markley Council con-
stitution;
-Student Government Council
regulations concerning student
organizations;
-The All-Campus Constitu-
tion;
-United States law concern-
ing the use of money by a non-
profit organization.
EVANS countered saying, "It
has been blown way out of pro-
portion. It started as a means
of getting attention to Markley
Council. This is not outrageous
compensation for all the work
we do. If they (CSJ) decide we,
were in violation we will pay
the money back."
She added that the proposal
was available to Markley resi-
dents three weeks before it was
passed. In addition it was read
over the PA system during meal
hours the three days preceeding
the council meeting.
The compensation itself is
legally questionable. It is
against U.S. law for officers of

CONGRESSMAN DELLUMS speaks with reporters about re-
ordering national values shortly before addressing an audi-
ence at Hill last night.
Dellums asks unty
to combat 'system'
By BILL TURQUE
Calling on all Americans to "join hands on a journey from
niggerism to humanism," left-wing Democratic Congressman Ron-
ald Dellums told an enthusiastic crowd of about 200 at Hill Audi-
torium last night that inequities in food distribution were only
synptomatic of a system in need of fundamental change.
Dellums, speaking in conjunction with the city's observance
of National Food Week, said that only a mass coalition of white,
black and third world peoples could begin to counter what he
called "the maintenance man of the status quo on the right, and
knee-jerk liberals on the left."
"I KEEP hoping," said the Representative from Berkeley,
Calif., "that someday silent America will wake up and realize
that their sons fought and died in an illegal, immoral, and insane
war, that they elected a criminal 'to the White House, and that
they will join us in eradicating racism, sexism, and hypocrisy."

Herbologist claims
eyes reflect all ills
By ELAINE FLETCHER
"Look straight ahead," says
Dr. John Christopher, the herb
doctor. Seated backwards on
a chair he gazes intently into
the patient's eyes, pronouncing
the final verdict: "You have a
cracked tailbone, a sagging co-
lon, and a heart murmur."
The herbal "prescription?" is
"'Formula no. 1' marshmallow
root, lobelia and wormwood,"
all of which can be mail order-
ed from the "doctor's" store in
Provo, Utah.
The average M. D. occasional-
ly checks eyes for single dis-
orders, but according to Chris-
topher eyes really tell it all.
"Because the eye reflects the
body's other physical ailments,"
For the past five years, Chris-
topher has travelled across the
country giving lectures and pri-
vate consultations urging peo-
ple to follow his practices. He
recently visited Ann Arbor and
spoke at the Michigan Union.
"When the rails are rusty
and industry is stopped, you
can't get more drugs. We beg
of you, plant herbs in your own
back yard," he pleads.

moves stir mild
protest
By DAVID WHITING
Kathy Kozachenko (HRP-Second Ward)
marched down to City Hall yesterday to par-
ticipate in a three-person "demonstration" and
question police about the alleged use of a
studded baseball bat against Arab demonstra-
tors at Wednesday's speech by Israeli Presi-
dent Ephraim Katzir.
Kozachenko aided Joel Greenman in filing
a formal complaint Wednesday charging that
one police officer at Rackham, where the
demonstration took place, was carrying the
people who was up there (at Rackham) as a
participant.
"It (the bat) was not carried by a police-
man," Olson emphasized. Krasny pointed out
the "studs" in the bat were actually staples
and conjectured the bat was used to hold a
protest sign.
THE ONLY batons given police officers
are "standard issue nightsticks and four-foot
long riotsticks" Krasny explained. In addi-
tion to the batons, officers are issued bullet-
