" 'A'is for worthless Most people wouldn't complain about an easy 'A', but not so for Ilene Ianniello, a senior at the University of Bridgeport, Conn. She said everyone in the class, all 14 students, got A's, but that the content of the course was "worthless." And to prove that she means business, she is suing for return of tuition and expenses involved in going to the university for the course, "Methods and Ma- terials in Teaching Basic Business Subjects." Said Ianniello, "I've had bad classes but this was ridic- ulous. The only thing I learned was how to use the overhead projector." " Need an eye? An unemployed father of three has offered to sell an eye as a last resort to raise money to settle his debts. "I've sold everything worth selling and the TV is being repossessed. There's nothing left but. junk furniture," said Donald Schlopy after putting an advertisement in a newspaper Friday. "I realize this is an unusual request, but my rea- sons are very valid to me," said Schlopy, 52, of Kane in McKean County. His ad in the Erie Times: "For Sale: One human eye for transplant. $5,000 or best offer. Write Donald S. Schlopy, 137 Moffit Alley, Kane, Pa. 16735." Schlopy said he has been out of work and trying to raise his children alone since his wife left him four years ago. Schlopy, who says he's $4,000 in debt, doesn't expect un- employment checks to be nearly enough to solve his problems. "I want to get enough money to pay off all my debts and to buy a used house trailer to live in," he said. " Sexy granny Beauty knows no age, and Lizalolota Valeska is still kicking it out at the ripe old age of 72. Miss Finland of 1930 claims she maintains her 34-29-35 figure by eating properly, exercising, and proper breathing. Although she occasionally still draws a wolf whistle from the younger set when she sports a mini-skirt, Valeska prefers older men. "You're never too old to learn something new," she says, "and I find elderly men have more to teach me." " Killer girl scouts? It may be a Communist plot, to subvert yet an- other stalwart of American society, or just another faulty cog in the Big Business machine, but the Girl Scouts of America may be forced to recall thousands of boxes of "thin mint" cookies. The Quaker Oats Co. and the Central Ohio Girl Scout Council issued a joint statement requesting that consumers not eat their cookies until tests have been run to check for contamination in the styrene plastic in the packages. The investigation began Friday when a Columbus resident complained that he found what appeared to be a sliver of glass in the box of cookies. Since then, the company has sampled more than 5,000 packages and found no evidence that the incident was any more than an isolated one. 0 Sticky situation Even Easter is going to be more expensive this year as candy manufacturers estimate chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, marshmallow eggs, and candy chicks are going to cost an average of 25 to 30 per cent more this year. The problem is the rising cost of things like sugar and cocoa beans. The situation may be even worse next year because raw mater- ials for candy now on the shelves were ordered be- fore the worst of the increases in the price ingredi- ents. The Easter candy on sale in stores now was manufactured from three to six months ago. The world now awaits a Papal decree which would put a freeze on the candy's basic ingredients before th Easter Bunny is forced to fill for bankruptcy. On the inside.., ...

Both sides agree economics is the most important issue. The bargaining also involves agency shop, anti-discrimination, griev- ance procedure and promotion policy. CCFA/UAW Local 2001, bar- gaining for its first contract, represents about 3200 clerical workers. "The biggest issue is in- creased wages," states Jean Jones, chairperson of the union's bargaining committee. The most recent available statistics, gath- ered by CCFA last year, showed University starting salaries con- siderably lower than those at Michigan S t a t e University, Washtenaw CommunityCollege and the Michigan Civil Service. "As of a year ago, we were significantly underpaid com- pared to the others," Jones claimed. William Neff, negotiating for the University, reports that the administration is "presently run- ning comparisons" and does not wish to comment upon the salary situation until its report is in. AN INTERIM policy adopted during the period of contract negotiations allows the partici- pation of a union steward in the grievance procedure. Previous- ly, complaints by clericals were purely an administrative mat- ter. Now, a clerical may involve the union. The University would like to keep the interim policy. The union will be negotiating for arbitration by a neutral third party. PROMOTION policy produced another important issue. At the See CLERICALS, Page 8 Collapse of regime called security thireat SOUTH BEND, Ind. OP--President Ford cited the "domino theory" last night in defending his Indochina policy and said the fall of Cambodia "could affect the national security of the United States." Ford cited Communist-led advances in Southeast Asia and mentioned indications that U.S. allies are doubt- ing America's word as he invoked the theory that the fall of one Asian nation would lead to another, and ultimately endanger the United States. IT WAS one of his strongest statements to date on the situation in Indochina, and it came during a wide-ranging news conference Daily Photo by KEN FINK Spring+rbreak Two students took a break from their classes ye sterday to enjoy the balmy temperatures. The warm spell, which will hopefully continue this w eek in anticipation of the beginning of spring, resulted in outdoor scenes like this one all over campus. Michigan weather may be unpredict- able, but when it's like this, everyone is happy. SURPRISE AT COUNCIL: Police to end 'durn-duin' use on the campus of the University Ford also made several other major disclosures, as, with a St. Patrick's Day shamrock in his lapel, he neared the end of a day on the turf of the Fighting Irish. For example, he condemned any. CIA involvement in plots to assassinate foreign leaders and said this would not happen while he was President. He added he was personally analyzing the assassination allegations to de- termine if the executive branch should be investigated. HE ALSO said he sees no reason why Vice President Nel- son Rockefeller shouldn't be his running mate in 1976. And he again pressed Congress for prompt action on tax cut legis- lation, calling it essential for the nation's economic recovery. When a questioner asked whether the survival of a non- Communist government in Cam- bodia, where the government in Phnom Penh is encircled by in- surgent forces, was "vital to U.S. security," the President renlied: I think it is. I cannot help but notice that since the military situation in Cambodia has become very serious and since the North Vietnamese have apparently launched a very substantial military e f f o r t against the Paris peace accords, there has been, as I understand it . . . a potential request from Thailand that we withdrew our forces from that country." IN ADDITION to questioning on Cambodia and the CIA, there were these, highlights: -The President declared it was "foolish "for us to tinker" with the current farm program because it had substantially spurred agricultural production. -He defended his budget re- quests for the poor and elderly, saying they were part of a "very sound budget" despite criticisms sounded by students and others that the funding levels were inadequate. -The President defended the Federal Reserve Board and its chairman, Arthur Burns, against charges the Fed has thwarted See Cambodian, Page 2 of Notre Dame. Rhodes hints at tuition increase by SUSAN ADES Vice President for Academic Affairs Frank Rhodes hinted yesterday at possible tuition in- crease or faculty layoffs for 1975-76 to combat the Univer- sitv's financial crisis. "In the event of a cutback," Rhodes told a Senate Assembly meeting, "we may further re- duce positions or we may fur- ther increase fees." HOWEVER. University Presi- dent Robben Fleming said that "the issue of tuition increases won't be decided until mid- summer" since the state legis- lature hasn't yet finally voted on next year's appropriations to the University. But Fleming ex- plained that "We'll have to de- cide about the faculty (layoffs) before mid-summer." Both Fleming and Rhodes de- clined to comment further on specifics of the possible tuition hike or amount of the layoffs. Education Prof. Charles Leh- mann, a member of the now-de- funct advisory committee for the University on GEO negotia- tions, said last night that he would suspect that the graduate students assistants would be more vulnerable to cutbacks than regular faculty members. HE TERMED this a possible result of the 5.6 per cent pay increase recently negotiated by the Graduate Employes' Organ- ization. At the Senate Assembly meet- ing Rhodes asserted, "At pres- ent we feel we should not lift the freeze (package). He was referring to a five point pro- gram now in effect to deal with a possible cut in state appropri- ations for this year. The five measures include a hiring freeze, a freeze on con- struction financed from the gen- eral fiod, and a freeze on equipment purchases. By DAVID WHITING In a surprise move at last night's City Council meeting Police Chief Walter Krasny an- nounced that municipal police will no longer carry the contro- versial hollow-point "dum-du"n" bullets. At the lengthy session, dub- bed "Police night" by the Hu- man Rights Party (HRP), the Republican - dominated Council then tabled an ordinance that would ban outright sale and possession of hollow point bul- lets in the city. - Foul-ups force of East Quad AND DESPITE Krasny's ear- lier announcement Council still defeated an HRP motion that would have banned dum-dum use by police officers by a 6-5 vote. Council voted by the same margin to defeat another HRP. motion to remove city police from the Washtenaw Area Nar- cotics Team (WANT), and also rejected a resolution urging the state legislature to disband the WA'NT squad. Hollow point bullets have come under attack by the HRP, repeat lottery tended until last night. But pres- ent plans for accommodating those involved in the mix-up are incomplete at this time. JEFF MOROF, an East Quad Resident Director, explained that now "the RF's are taking a straw vote on all the floors to see how people feel. The num- bers will either be redrawn or we will place people who missed out at the bottom of the list." If the consensus is for a new lottery, it will be held tomor- row morning at 8 a.m. If so, residents will know their new numbers by noon. Morof said the number of stu- dents involved was small: "It wasn't a big foul-up. There are only'50 or 60 who claim they didn't get their applications in." and all over the country as well because they do much greater body damage than conven ioaal projectiles. They are banned by international agreement f r o m use in warfare. The Ann Arbor Police Officers Association (AAPOA) stood be- hind Krasny's pledge declaring, "The AAPOA will prohibit the use of hollow-point ammunition by all officers while on duty." In other business, city admin- istrator Sylvester Murray an- nounced that the April 7 d -y care ballot proposal requiring 1.7 per cent of city revenues be directed towards child care, would involve some $665,000 and not $314,000 as originally ex- pected. In reference to the ordinance banning sale and possession of hollow points, Mayor James Stephenson, took a verbal punch at Kathy Kozachenko (HRP-2nd W a r d) declaring, "I w o u l d rather censure Kozachenko than pass this ordinance." By GLEN ALLERHAND Citing "problems and irregu- larities in the ticket system just completed," East Quad director Kathie Beauvais yesterday void- ed that dorm's room lottery held last week, and announced a rew selection process will be staged this week. In a memo sent yesterday to all residents Beauvais stated that some residents had rot received r o o m reapplication tickets,, and that the names of other residents who returned re- N lewspaper names new Business Managers The Daily's new senior busi- ness staff members for 1975-76 officially assume their positions this week. Heading the five-person staff is Business Manager Debby Novess, a senior journalism and speech major from Waterford Township, Michigan. Her re- snonsibilities include handling the budget for the newspaper nt ritiln ag c a inenn betwen application materials had been omitted from the lottery list. O T H E R dwellers received room tickets but failed to meet the reapplication deadilne, ap- parently confusing this Housing Office lottery with the drawing East Quad formerly held to de- termine intra - dorm priority, which had a later deadline. The snafu prevents Quad res- idents from participating on schedule with the Housing Office plans for actual room selection within the dormitories. Other residence halls yesterday allow- ed lottery winners to renew leases for current rooms. In her message, Beauvais in- formed residents that the reap- plication process had been ex- Black author asks end to capitalism By TIM SCHICK Imamu Baraka, black author and playwright, declared yester- day that the struggle for black liberation will continue until the capitalist system is smashed. Approximately 300 students gathered in the Union ballroom listened carefully as Baraka outlined the two choices he believes face black students. "You can either be a functionary of the capi- talists or you can be part of the masses of people rising up to de- stroy this system," he said. BARAKA, 40, born LeRoi Jones, gained fame as an author and playwright. He changed his name in the late 1960's. As a prerequisite for revolution, Baraka called for black stu- dents to study the black liberation movement, the history of revo- I- Baraka sDay lution and to spend time organ- izing movements on campus. By doing this "you will be ready to offer more to the peo- ple you return to," he said. According to Baraka, the study of the historical aspects of revolution and black libera- tion are necessary to motivate change.
