AN ARROGANT REFUSAL See Editorial Page j[17,I e Sitr ~Iaiti THREATENING High-76 Loxv-51 See Today for details Eighty-Three Years of Editorial Freedom Vol. LXXXIV, No. 15 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, September 22, 1973 Ten Cents Six Pages plus Supplement W FYU SEE NvS APPMCAL7IY An explanation You may notice something different about this morn- ing's Michigan Daily. It's pretty small - only six pages. This is not because we've run out of news or money. The problem is, we're literally running out of paper. Perhaps you have heard on radio and TV or read in the papers something about a newsprint shortage. A series of long and crippling strikes' in the paper industry have, at this point, brought production and delivery of newsprint to a complete halt. We have no idea how long this state of affairs will last, but to conserve what supplies of paper we have left, we are instituting a program of cutbacks aimed at reducing consumption. The first step is to occasionally reduce the paper to six pages when conditions permit. If we don't take this step, we run the risk of using up all our paper before the strike ends and new deliveries are possible. We therefore ask our readers' indulgence in seeing us through this difficult situation. " Royal abdication The captains and the kings depart - and so, event- ually, do emperors. Student Government Council mem- ber and self-proclaimed Bullshit Party Emperor Dave Hornstein announced his retirement from "sandbox gov- ernment" during this week's SGC meeting and also an- nounced intentions to move onto bigger and better things -most notably schoolwork. Hornstein reminisced about his colorful career during members' time. "The dope co-op," Hornstein recalled, "ah yes, that was one of the high points . . . in more ways than one." Appropriately, Hornstein concluded his career with the presentation of the second annual Michael Davis Memorial Award "for extending adolescence beyond all previous limits." Horn- stein's nominee - longtime SGC member David Smith- passed council unanimously. Farewell, forthright bull- shitter. We shall miss you. 0 Esch meeting In response to last week's occupation of his office, U.S. Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) met yesterday with representatives of the Chile Support Coalition. When pressed for his position on recognizing the new Chilean regime, Esch declared, "At the present time it would not be appropriate to recognize the current government." But he didn't rule ot the possibility of changing his mind when more facts of the coup come to light. Esch was also asked whether he would support the Moakley Bill sponsored by Rep. John Moakley (D-Mass.) which would authorize congressional investigation of possible U.S. involvement in the coup. Esch replied curtly, "The bill will never get out ofcommittee!" Happy birthday Prof. Lewis Kleinsmith entertained his Bot./Zoo. 106 lecture yesterday with a sterling rendition of "Happy Birthday" The occasion was a 104th birthday party. No, not an aging student, but DNA - the genetic code that was discovered way back in 1869. 0 Touche! Though it was done in the diplomatic fashion ex- pected of statesmen, University President Robben Flem- ing and Regent Gerald Dunn got into something of a verbal altercation at yesterday's Regents meeting. Whent Fleming commented that everyone could not be satis- fied with the outcome of a vote on salary disclosures, Dunn said, "Another President, Harry Truman once said, 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kit- chen.' " Replied Fleming dryly, "I've learned to live with the failings in my character."

Food prices themselves rose 6 per cent during that time period. To no one's surprise an administration spokesman predicted than the prices would soon start falling.

NEW SECRETARY OF STATE: Kis singZer appoin tment confirmed by WASHINGTON (UPI) - Henry Kissinger, the German-born immi- grant who became President Nix- on's No. 1 foreign policy adviser four years ago, was confirmed by the Senate yesterday to be secre- tary of state. The vote was 78 to 7. The confirmation, which had never been in doubt, fills the va- cancy left by the resignation of William Rogers, who quit Sept. 3 to return to his New York law practice. THE WHITE HOUSE immediate- ly announced that the 5-year-old former Harvard professor, whose parents came to the United States to escape Nazi persecution of Jews, would be sworn in at 11 a.m. today by Chief Justice Warren Burger. Thus, he will have his Cabinetrank when hedaddresses the United Nations Monday. Invited guests, the White House said, will include Vice-President Spiro Agnew, members of the Cab- inet, congressional leaders, the _in+ntChipf c o gtgf andmembers taping of 17 reporters' and White House aides' telephones by the FBI in an effort to stop news leaks. Kissinger, in his confirmation hear- ings before the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee, acknowledged he provided the names of some of his aides who had access to con- fidential information. Abourezk said, "We know enough about Dr. Kissinger to know h:lt he is capable of deceiving the Con- gress and the public. We know enough about him to know that he has little regard for the basic lib- erties of even his own staff." )encite Hughes said the most compelling reason for his vote was that Kis- singer "is guided by a philosophy that is inimical to the long range cause of world peace and incon- sistent with the moral purpose of our nation." HASKELL DID not speak, but Helms said he objected to the U.S. wheat sale to Russia in which "we sold too much, too cheap." "If the Soviets took us for a ride on the wheat deal, what is going to happen on other trade agree- ments Dr. Kissinger is pushing so hard?" Helms asked. 73 and arching, i1th 38 omen By BOB SEIDENSTEIN Ick!
