Shakespeare a sexist?
Prof. Marvin Felheim, director of the American Studies
Program and a Shakespeare expert, says the bard's.
plays were riddled with sexist stereotypes--passive, sub-
missive, fragile women, and wives willingly subordinate
to their'husbands. But blame .society, not Shakespeare.
Felheim says the bard's plays were simply a reflection
of his times, disclosing "a fairly accurate image of
women-and attitudes toward them-during his era."

A correction
In yesterday's story about the Campus Coalition party
and its bid for seats in the upcoming SGC election, The
Daily inadvertently omitted three of the party's candi-
dates. They are: Jeff Schiller and Robbie Gordon, both
running in the residential constituency category; and
Bob Matthews, the CC candidate for the Engineering
seat.
Some good news ...
The president of the American National Cattlemen's
Association predicted yesterday that prices of some
beef cuts would drop by as much as 30 per cent in the
next few weeks. John Trotman said the price for live
cattle had dropped from a high of 56 cents a pound in
August to 40 cents a pound last week and that retail
prices should reflect the reduction soon.

Cost of Living Council Director John Dunlop says more
gasoline price increases can be expected, despite the 2.5
cent per gallon hike the council approved Friday. The
hikes are justified, Dunlop said.

Shoppers flock
to unfinished
Bria rwood
By JUDY RUSKIN I
It's official-the brand new, not
quite completed, chrome and
plastic Briarwood Shopping Mall
is open for business.
Located on a 155 acre site off
State Rd. and I-94, Ann Arbor's
first " enclosed shopping c e n t e r
staged its grand opening yester-
day.
Crowds of shoppers and the just
plain curious strolled through the
covered walkways peering at the
shop displays, examining the mer-
chandise and making purchases.
Approximately 121 stores and
services will eventually grace the
933,457 square feet that is Briar-
wood proper. But as of yesterday
less than half the stores had been
completed.
DORIS SORENSEN, promotion
director for Briarwood, indicated
that 30 stores opened yesterday
and that by Friday another 30
would open.
However, a count made by a se-
curity guard patroling the- mall
showed only 17, stores actively do-
ing business. Several more were
scheduled to open later in the day.
"I didn't think we were going to
make it," said a sales woman at
Casual Corner, a women's clothing
store. "The place was a mess. We
didn't get our cash register 'til this
morning and we still don't have
electricity in the back."
The sounds of drilling, hammer-
ing and sawing filled the air as
workmen added finishing touches
to the stores. Wearing overalls and
paint splattered clothes, the work-
men were almost as numerous as
customers. The entire mall reeked
of paint, plaster and wood shav-
ings.

judge
BALTIMORE P)-The Baltimore
federal grand jury investigating
Vice President Spiro Agnew was
warned by a judge yesterday to
disregard news stories involving
the inquiry because they "frequent-
ly are wholly or partially inac-
curate."
U.S. District Court Judge Walter
Hoffman, specially assigned to
handle the Agnew probe, summon-
ed the jury to an extraordinary
public hearing-after meeting pri-
vately for an hour and a half with
lawyer for Agnew and the Justice
Department.
At the same time, supporting
Agnew's efforts to find the sources
of news leaks, Hoffman gave the
vice president's lawyers broad au-
thority to subpoena Justice Depart-
ment officials, newsmen and any-
one else they feel could help them
get this information.
THE JUDGE'S unusual order
said Agnew's counsel "may take .
the depositions of such persons as
they deem appropriate and neces-
sary upon at least 48 hours' notice
to the Department of Justice in
each instance."
Hoffman also directed clerks of
district courts anywhere in the
United States to "issue such sub-
poenas as may be required."
The depositions are to be sealed
and not made part of any public
file, Hoffman said, in enjoining
Agnew and the government from
disclosing the names of those sub-
poenaed or discussing their testi-
mony.
He lectured jurors for 18 minutes TF
on their responsibilities in investi- Ag

Calls graft charges
against VP serious'
WASHINGTON (P) - President
Nixon yesterday defended the ac-
tions of Asst. Atty. Gen. Henry
Petersen, the man who has been
conducting a vigorous investigation
of alleged corruption on the part
of Vice President Spiro Agnew.
Agnew has' charged that Petersen'
was "out to get him." But Nixon,
in what appeared at least a partial
abandonment of the vice president,
said, "If I did not support Mr. Pet-
ersen's handling of the investiga-
tion he would have been re-
moved .
Nixon called the allegations that
Agnew had received illegal kick-
backs and had taken bribes "ser-
ious and not frivolous," but de-
clared that the vice president
should be presumed innocent.
Noting the "rather white-hot at-
mosphere" swirling around Agnew,
Nixon said he hopes Agnew "will
not be tried and convicted in the
press and on television by leaks
and innuendoes."
AND HE SAID he had never ask-
ed the vice president to resign.
Nixon ranged over other foreign
and domestic issues in the half-hour
news conference, his third in five
weeks, as he said:
SECRETARY OF STATE Henry
Kissinger will visit Peking Oct. 26-
29 to pursue trade and other issues
of mutual concern. Kissinger also
will visit Japan while in the Far
East.
-He will travel to Europe him-
self "in three or four months" and
also to Japan before the end of
next year with the precise timing
of the trips dependent both on for-
eign consultations and on " my re-
sponsibilities on the domestic
front."
-Three declarations of princi-
ple, rather than one, are being ne-
gotiated for signing during his vis-.
its to Europe and Japan. One is in-
tended to update the Atlantic Al-
liance, another deals specifically
with economic issues and the third
is a more general declaration to
"breathe new life and new pur-
pose and new spirit" into relations
with U. S. allies.
-On the political scene, he won't
endorse any Republican contender,
to succeed him in the White House
until "they have been tried in the
field of battle" in the presidential
primaries. r
-He wouldn't discuss possible
changes in his economic game plan
and declined to take sides in a de-
bate over whether the nation's un-
employment goal should be four
per cent or five per cent.

By BOB SEIDENSTEIN
While Detroit strikes, Newark de-
teriorates and Washington worries,
15 journalists from those and other
areas are taking an eight-month
sabbatical from the daily trials of
their jobs and turning to the aca-
demic environment of Ann Arbor.
The Congressionally funded Na-
tional Endowment for the Humani-
ties is providing fellowships for
working journalists to engage in
studies of their own choosing at the
University or at Stanford Univer-
sity in California.
In addition, three international
journalist fellows are studying here
at Michigan.
PARTICIPANTS IN the program
have varied experiences and inter-
ests. Most of them seem to agree,.
however, that a federally funded
hiatus in academia is a welcome
change from the workaday blahs.
For James Ingram of The.Mich-
igan Chronicle, a black newspaper
in Detroit, the program offers an
"opportunity to get into an aca-
demic setting for the first time in
my life and a chance to exchange
ideas with the fellows."

Delay in Federal grant stalls
implementation of TEL TRAN

But the implementation of the sys-

radios, benchces, and shelters.
When voters approved the TEL-
