Regents hear report
The Board of Regents yesterday heard an extensive
review of the report on the University's Affirmative Ac-
tion Program prepared by Affirmative Action Director
Nellie Varner. Varner explained that "many schools are
under-utilizing both women and minorities," except in
the 95 per cent female clerical category, where men
are under-utilized, she said. Utilization analysis is made
by comparing University employment figures to percent-
ages of women and minorities in the total qualified labor
pool. Following Varner's report, members of the Com-
mission for Women commented on the statistics and
showed a slide presentation entitled "Turnabout," fea-
turing men in stereotyped female roles. Several of the
Regents squirmed visibly during the three hour meeting,
and afterward Regent Robert Brown (R-Kalamazoo) was
heard to remark, "Its just amazing to me how many
of you girls are happy to be on the employment rolls."
Following the meeting, President Robben Fleming pre-
dicted the outcome of 20 of tomorrow's football games,
including Wisconsin at Michigan. See the Sports pages
for Fleming's picks.

Nobel to Harvard prof
Harvard economist Wassily Leontief won the Nobel
Prize for Economic Science yesterday for inventing a
technique used in the economic planning of numerous
countries. "I suppose I am pleased," said the 60 year-
old Russian-born economist, "not only for myself but
for my collaborators. It took a long time to develop
ny theories, it's very complex." The Nobel prize for
literature, meanwhile, went to Australian Patrick White
for his novels on pioneer life. White, 60, was cited "for
an epic and psychological narrative art which has in-
troduced a new continent into literature."

Cartoonist Kelly dies
Walt Kelly, whose cartoon creation Pogo became
a political force in the fifties, died in Los Angeles yester-
day at the age of 60. Kelly used his cartoon to attack
the anti-Communist investigations of Sen. Joseph Mc-
Carthy and in 1952 Pogo, a possum, was nominated for
the presidency under the campaign slogan, "I go
Pogo." The cartoonist portrayed McCarthy as a stubble-
jawed wildcat who got himself elected to committees
with aid of a shotgun.

Confusion
By CINDY HILL
"It's insane," said former Student Government Council Vice-
President Sandy Green; describing the exorbitant cost and bureau-
cratic confusion of last week's all-campus election.
Oi Moser examination, Green's comment appears to be an under-
statement.
COMPLETE WITH alleged corruption, confusion, the involvement
of controversial formet' SGC Treasurer David Schaper, and Keystone
Cop-style antics among the election workers and security guards,
the election also had the dubious honor of having the lowest voter
turnout in University history.
And at a total of 900 ballot (once the 400 "bad' ballot were dis-
carded) and a total cost over $5,000, the election cost averaged over
$5 a ballot.

"Bad ballots" are those which, because they have no ID numbers
or are otherwise erroneously filled out, cannot be tabulated at all.
According to Election Director Ron Strauss, however, there is no
chance of fraud in this year's election.
"I know there wasn't fraud," said Strauss, "there were too
many checks. Besides, so few people voted that they would have been
caught."
Strauss did admit, however, that multiple voting occurred in the
undergraduate seat elections for SGC.
Because that particular section of the ballot was tabulated by
computer, said Strauss, students were able to vote for as many of
the district seats as they liked, and the computer tallied all votes.
BUT PERHAPS the most surprising election-related revelation was

the role played by David Schaper-who was fired by SGC President
Lee Gill earlier this year.
Schaper, although never convicted of any wrongdoing, has fre-
quently been accused of everything from ballot-stuffing last spring's
election to printing libelous material.
Strauss, who claimed he "knew nothing about Schaper's back-
ground," hired Schaper as an adviser.
Schaper demanded-and received promise-of a $300 payment - for
the election. Strauss said Green, who resigned this week, authorized
payment.

Terrorists still hold
over forty hostages
By AP and Reuter
Five masked gunmen shot .their way into the Bank of
America office in Beirut yesterday threatening to kill an esti-
mated 40 to 50 hostages and blow up a seven-story building if
their demands were not met.
They demanded release of Palestinian guerrillas in Leba-
nese jails, $10-million to aid the Arab war effort and an air-
liner to take them to Yemen or Algeria,
THE RAID CAME on a day of continued heavy fighting in the Sinai
as well as a secret visit to Cairo by Russian Prime Minister Alexei

sGC
resolution
to
recall
Gill
postponed
for
the charges against
By JACK KROST
The newly elected 42 member
Student Government Council last
night considered for the. second
time' a resolution calling for the re-
call of SGC President Lee Gill, but
tabled the motion on the grounds
that more evidence needed to be
heard.
Led by a new majority composed
of Campus Coalition and Screw
SGC party members, the council
postponed discussion on standard
procedural questions to focus im-
mediately on
Gill.
Members of both parties have
charged Gill with numerous acts
of corruption. As of yet, however,
no concrete evidence has been
brought forward to substantiate
the charges.
The recall resolution was intro-
duced for a first reading last week
by CC candidate Robert Matthews.
Last night's decision to postpone
action was based on the claim that
former council members Sandy
Green and David Hornstein still
another
needed to testify about Gill's alleg-
ed corruption. Neither was avail-
able for comment last night.
The two names were brpught up
by David Faye, head of the Cam-
pus Coalition Party, which elected
the largest bloc of candidates in
the recent elections.
FAYE, WHO last week admitted
knowledge of only "circumstantial

night that both Green and Horn-
stein spoke, to him privately and

indicated their belief that Gill was
guilty.
He also said he would try to get
Laurie Artz to speak about the
theft of her desk which occurred
last year. Gill's opponents have
charged Gill with the theft, claim-
ing the desk currently sits in his
apartment.
The special SGC investigative
committee looking into the charges
will probably not be ready to make
its presentation to council at the
next meeting, according to com-
mittee member Carl Sandburg.
IN DISCUSSING the recall pro-
posal Student Rights Party mem-
ber Marcia Fishman said, "I view
the resolution, in rather great
amazement, in view of the fact
that there is no concrete evidence
on any of the charges. She also re-
asserted her earlier comparison of
the recall effort to a "lynching
party."
Gill himself did not speak about
the charges until Screw SGC Party
member Matt Hoffman challenged
him personally.
"Please tell me as an individual
if you are guilty," Hoffman quer-
ied.

THOSE WITH WEAK knees and
By ANN RAUMA
Congressman Marvin Esch (R-
Ann Arbor) met with some 120 of
his constituents last night in an
open town meeting held 'at city
hall.
Though the topics of discussion
ranged all the way from social
security to U.S. foreign policy in
Chile, the evening's most heated
discussion focused around a "youth
differential clause" contained in
a new minimum wage bill.
THE CLAUSE would establish a
policy whereby young people would
be excluded from the new, higher
and hire more cheap labor.
Esch, on the other hand, con-
tended the proposal would encour-
age more employers to train and
hire youth.
"I WOULD RATHER see a per-
son put to worl six months and
earning $1.60 an hour than see
him on the street as a result+ of
a higher minimum wage," he said.
As to the possibility of- discrimi-
nation Esch suggested further gov-
ernmental regulation. "It's absurd
to contend we can't regulate em-
ployers regarding minimum
wage," Esch commented, "if we
