RIP TORN IN A DAZZLING PERFORMANCE
Of An Artist's Struggle Against the Pressures Of Society!
Vice President-Designate Gerald
Ford has been the leader of the
Republican Party since 1965 and
has been a staunch supporter of
President Nixon through thick and
thin.
Though party discipline in Con-'
gross has occasionally been weak,
th* 60.yer-old Ford has backed
Nixon on almost all of his foreign
and domestic policies.
rord is well-known in Michigan,
hit 25 years in Congress having
Award of the American Good Gov-r
ernment Society.
Gerald Rudolph Ford was born<
in Omaha, Neb., but spent his
childhood in Grand Rapids, where
he graduated from high school. He
won all-city and all-state high
school football honors and gradu-
ated from the University.
After graduation from Yale Law
School in '41, and admission to the
Michigan State Bar and practice
before the U.S. Supreme Court,

little" about SGC and the issues.
"There was really very little op-
portunity to talk to the candidates
and find out what is going on."
However, when asked whether
she had read Daily articles on
SGC parties and their positions,
she replied that she hadn't.
ANOTHER STUDENT complain-
ed of a "lack of vigorous cam-,
paigning."
Those who did bother to vote
sometimes found the whole process
confusing and frustrating.
This year's election used an
elaborate ballot process involving
three different voting forms: a
less complex than the system used
last year, when stickers placed on
student 1. D. cards were used.
Some students interviewed were
also critical of SGC's new 10-10-10
constitution, which expands Coun-
cil size by more than thrpe times.
The new system also divides SGC
representatives into different "con-
stituencies," representing students
by their school or college and
type of housing.
"Unwieldy" and "unworkable"
were phrases used often by stu-
dents in describing the system.
MOREOVER, A NEW problem
was added ,to the traditional com-
plications: the lack of candidates.:
For many seats, there were not

dent now as when he issued that
warning.
ONE OF THE concepts Nixon
told Congress he would veto is the
bill's requirement that a president
would have to withdraw any U. S.
combat he committed abroad on
his own in 60 days if Congress did;
not approve the war commitment
by then.
The sole exception would be that
he could get an additional 30 days
if he certified to Congress that
"unavoidable military necessity"
required the extra time to with-
draw U. S. troops safely.
The second provision he opposes
provides that Congress could halt
the war any time during the 60
to 90 days by approving a simple
House - Senate concurrent resolu-
tion not subject to a president's
veto.
FORD WAS AMONG opponents
of the bill who sided with the
President's objection that no presi-
dent should have to halt a war ac-
tion if Congress does nothing dur-
ing the 60 days.
Critics from the other side ob-
jected that a president might in-
terpret the act as giving him new
authority not granted in the Con-
stitution to wage war up to 60
days on his own.
The final compromise bill also
would require presidents to consult
with Congress before committing
U. S. forces abroad but does notj
spell out who must be consulted
or how it is done.
The bill would require the presi-
dent to report to Congress within'
48 hours after committing the forc-
es. He would have to explain his
reasons and authority for the move
and an estimate of the scope and
duration of the conflict.

firmly established his political
name. He hails from the conser-'
Ative Grand Rapids area, an over-
whelmingly Republican sector, and
has had little trouble in being reg-
ularly returned to the U.S. House
of representatives.
913T HIS FIRST claim to fame
in the state came on the gridiron,
where he started for three con-
secutive years as a sturdy center
for the mighty Wolverines.
Ford played for Michigan in
132, 1933 nd 1934. Widely known
for being both fierce and rough,
he wes named Most Valuable Play-
er oni the 1934 Wolverine squad.
The Wolverines finished with one
win aiid seven losses that year.
Ford has maintained ties with
the University over the years. He'
claims to be an avid Michigan
%ports fan, and his papers are be-
ing dOnated to the Michigan His-
torical Collections here on campus.
Ford entered the Navy, where he'
served 47 months on active duty
during the Second World War.
FORD PRACTICED law in Grand
Rapids until 1948, when he defeat-
ed the Republican incumbent in
the party's primary election and
won the November election to rep-
resent the Eighth District of Mich-
igan in the House.
In 1963, he was named by Presi-
dent Lyndon Johnson to the War-
ren Commission investigating the
assassination of President John
Kennedy.
Ford was apparently notified of.
his nomination as vice president
early yesterday, but kept the fact
a tightly guarded secret.
independent-housing seats; and'
third, a computer card.
"ALL THESE FANCY compu-
terized schemes are too compli-I
cated and hard to figure out," one
student complained.
"It took me twenty minutes to
vote," said another.
However, Strauss defended the,
system, maintaining that the com-
plex balloting system was neces-
sitated by SGC's complex new 10-
10-10 constitutional system, spon-
sored last year by former SGC
treasurer Dave Schaper.
HE ALSO CLAIMS that this
year's three-form system is still
didates.
IN ADDITION, there was only,
one candidate running per posi-
tion for Medical School represen-
tative, Business Administration,
Architecture and Design, Nursing,
Natural Resources, Pharmacy and
Fraternities.
Furthermore, there were no can-
didates for Music School, Social
Work, Dental School, Library Sci-
ence, Public Health, Inter-College
Degree Programs or Married
Housing rep.
THE BALLOTS for the election
will be tabulated over the week
end.
Before being counted, the ballots
first have to be cross-checked by
computer, using tapes obtained
from the University, to verify the
voters' school status and housing
situation.
The results of the election should
be available by Monday, accord-'
ing to Strauss, and the new Coun-
cil is scheduled to meet this Thurs-
day.

The city's bicycle freaks may
soon be rolling more smoothly over ]
An extensive system of new bike
paths throughout the city - pro-
vided someone can be found to
build them before winter sets in.
An initial portion of a projected
$SOOOQM bike path system which'
had been scheduled for construc-
tion this fall has the green light'
fridt city hall, but no contractor,
has yet been found who is inter-
ested in doing the job.
IN LAST APRIL'S city election,'
voters approved the money for the
systern, to be parceled out over a
phased four-year construction per-
iod. The system, when complete,'
will be the largest of its kind in
any City comparable in site to Ann
Arbor, and the project is receiv-
ing nationwide attention from ur-
ban planners.
Specifically, the plans call for
a network of paths throughout the
city, with tie-ins to existing park
paths.
Sloped curbs (such as those now
existing on. some campus side- I
walks) will be constructed along
the four-foot wide paths. Bike
lanes will be marked off on streets
where streets have no curb park-
ig. ..
A Bicycle Coordinating Commit-
tee has been established to advise
the city council and act as a cen-
tral planning body for the path
construction.
The committee has seven mem-
bers , four appointed by the may-
or from the general public and
three representing the city admin-
istration.
Mob Johnson, the city PlanningI
tepartrmentt's representative to
rho commission, says the routesI
scheduled for construction this fall
art:I
-Washtenaw Ave. from Huron
to Brockman;
-Huron Parkway;
-Miller Avenue from Maple
Road to Seventh Street; and
.-Seventh Street from Miller to
Stadium.
THE COST for this section is
projected to be from $50,000 to
$60,000.
