Numbers game Ronald Rossi, who had his motorcycle stolen a few months ago, was lucky enough to stumble on to it on campus the other day. He checked the engine number, recognized it, and called the police. They arrived just as the cycle's new own- er was about to zip off on the machine. A discus- sion followed, after which the cops let the guy go with the cycle - an action they now alledgedly apologize for as a "screw-up, a goof." Apparently Rossi should have checked out the machine's frame number as well as its engine number, since motorcycles are registered under the former - and for his mistake, he is now "numbered" among the wheel-less. Oops! Yesterday we mistakenly reported that the Frame-up, Film Festival was showing it's last film last night. The truth is that the film "Attica," wil be shown Monday night at 7:30 in Aud.

Henry continued With less than two weeks to go before the Uni- versity's commencement exercises, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has still not confirmed his "tentative" acceptance to speak here. Richard Kennedy, Secretary of the University and Vice- President for State Relations, confirmed yesterday thatthe delay is "on the Washington end of things," but could not explain the reasons behind the hold- up. A formal acceptance or rejection should have come by now, according to a Department of State spokesperson in Washington. The spokes- person said yesterday that the good Doctor pro- bably knows about the protest surrounding his visit, which now centers around a "disinvitation" drive and a "counter-commencement" at Crisler Arena.

That relieved th sickness she felt as a result of not having don any junk all night. After lying in bed for a few minutes, sh washed, got dressed, and then thought about eat ing some breakfast. She felt she couldn't stomaci anything. So she grabbed her notebooks a rushed off to class. MOST DAYS Karen had it together enough i class to take notes. This time, though, she wa particularly high, so she went into a nod fora short time. She managed to catch about half th lecture. During the ten minutes before her 12 o'clock class, and again before her one o'clock, she duck ed into a bathroom and tooted up some stuff in a stall. U.S. set to, evacuate ? Saigon a By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - Three U.S. aircraft carriers put to sea in the Western Pacific yesterday for possible use in the evacu- ation of Americans from South Vietnam. U. S. officials reported, meanwhile, that the American presence in that embattled country was dropping toward the 3,000 mark with about 500 civilians flown out in the past two days. According to pre- vious State Department esti- mates, there were about 6,000 Americans in South Vietnam when the evacuations began. THE PENTAGON .said the carriers Midway and Okinawa sailed out of Subic Bay in the Philipnines and the Hancock from Singapore.

When Karen returned to her apartment after k her classes, she lay on the couch reading her d homework assignments, doing some dope every d hour. She ate some dinner, and then plopped her- e self down in front of the television set and con- e tinued snorting heroin hourly, increasing her dosage from the afternoon. Some time after mid- e night she lay down on her bed and fell asleep - quickly. h d KAREN - NOT her real name - was a stu- dent at the University during the past Fall term. A native of suburban Detroit, she started the n present semester in school, but quit after a short s time. Now, she's living in Ann Arbor, looking for a a job, and participating in a methadone mainte- e nance program at the local heroin help center Octagon House. She plans to go back to school k in September or January. - Sitting in a comfortable chair at the Octagon House office, Karen lit a cigarette and toyed with the strap of her leather handbag. "I didn't have 4in aiddici many friends in Ann Arbor when I was in school," she said. "I still don't. I have a few, but they're all pretty straight - well, not really straight, but they don't do heroin. "Most of my friends live in Brighton or South- field. I used to drive out to see them all the time when I was in school here, and I still do. They all use heroin. "I shoot up whenever I see them," she con- tinued. "I can't hit myself up-I have to have somebody else do it for me. So they do it." KAREN' S CLASSMATES last semester wouldn't have known that she was a junk user. Among pre-med students, the long hours spent in labs and the late nights spent solving calculus problems send enough poor souls to sleep during lectures that an occasional heroin nod in a class of 300 would go unnoticed. And Karen doesn't appear seedy, ruthless or desperate. She looks just slightly more elegant than your average student, wearing a long knit S Stor sweater, sparkly socks, and a crisp new pair of bellbottomed baggies. Karen is one of an extremely small number of students at the University who use heroin. That drug is generally regarded with dread on campus, even among students who use all kinds of other drugs. AND ALL kinds of other drugs are a regular part of the lives of large numbers of students. A stroll through the corridors of any dormitory, at any time of the night or day, is usually punctuated by the smell of marijuana. If you know who to ask, and many students do, you can buy any of a variety of types of LSD. Cocaine is rarer than pot or acid, but every so often words gets around a dormitory or a circle of friends that a quantity of coke has been bought by some local enterpreneur and is available at about $70 a gram. See HEROIN, Page 2 Ernst htas non-resident By ROB MEACHUM Carol Ernst, the unsuccessful Human Rights Party (HRP) candidate for mayor, was charged yesterday by a former Republican City Councilman with failing to live within Ann Arbor city limits during her campaign. Anh Arbor police are presently investigating the alle- gations made by John McCormick and are checking into possible criminal violations of city and state election law. Ernst could be formally charged and prosecuted for election fraud if the allegations can be substantiated.

Ernst claims to have moved to Ann Arbor some two years ago from Adrian, Michigan, about 40 miles south of here. She moved to an apartment on Main Street but also rented an- other house, this one on Maple Street in Scio Township. During her campaign and on her literature, however, Ernst claimed to have lived in Ann Arbor for seven years. Records show that she didn't register to vote in the city until December 18, or just seven days before she filed for the mayor's race. She listed the Main Street address as her official residence on both the voter registration form and the mayoral petitions. BUT "because it wasn't a liveable place," Ernst spent most of her time in Ann Arbor, she said. She continued, how- ever, to pay rent for both resi- dences.

A SUIT filed with the Central Student Judiciary (CSJ) by the Madison Street Entertainment Committee and later joined by SGC charged Allen with negli- gence because he refused to authorize the expenditure of funds approved by Council. Confusion arose as a hearing on the suit began Friday night, when Allen stated he had given See related story, Page 7 David Faye his resignation and then Faye denied ever having received it.

DURING HIS four-month term Allen presided over seven meet- ings, but has not appeared at Council in over six weeks. His first administrative order was a freeze on all SGC funds.

Although Committee finishes study of Cobb deanshi controversy By DAN BIDDLE and SARA RIMER The University's Affirmative Action Committee has completed its two month investigation of the recent literary college (LSA) deanship crisis amid some indications that the panel's upcoming report will revive the so-called "Cobb controversy." A flurry of protest hit the campus three months ago when Jewel Cobb, a cell biologist who is currently Connecticut College's dean, was rejected for the deanship post officially because of the zoology department's refusal to grant her tenure. Concerned high she couldn't top them in the number of publications, she gave the best seminar and had many other qualifications," said a faculty member who wished to remain anonymous. "I think that the zoology department dis- criminates against women on subtle levels - nothing overt, nothing you can pin them down on. I just think 'they (executive committee members) judged her by their sexist, male cri- teria." Carl Gans, chairman of the executive committee and head of the department was in Eng- land, and therefore unavailable for comment. HOWEVER, Bill Dawson, the assistant chairman, completely denied the charges and asserted that the department had made a aood faith effort to seek out and interview women for the poi t ion . "I am very aware there is a controversy," he commented. "But I believe that if one wishes to dig in, one would find that we made every attempt to ad- "SHE WAS definitely the most qualified and I believe she would have been a great teach- er, but if we want to maintain' our national reputation, we have to get someone that publishes alot," asserted one department member close to the search committee. "What it boils down to, is that it doesn't matter if she can teach-only publishing matters in a place like this." See NON-HIRING, Page 6 of "yVr :- its/' "N} ti
