" Fast action from Big Bill When the word comes down from "The Man," it doesn't take Governor Bill Milliken very long to swing into action. Last night, after listening to President Nix- on's nationally televised speech on the energy, crises, Milliken picked up his phone, called the State Capitol and left orders for the janitor to turn down the thermo- stat in his office to 68 degrees. The governor had met earlier in the day to discuss the energy situation with the President. Students burn A poor student turnout in East Lansing spelled defeat for two leftist candidates running for the city council. Nelson Brown and Margaret McNeil were defeated by two conservative opponents ~- perpetuating conserva- tive control of the body. Though they hold a 2-1 edge in voter registration, MSU students turned out in low numbers ruesday. Their non-student neighbors, however, turned out in force. The two liberal candidates had campaigned for a number of sweeping reforms including a plan to take guns away from policemen on duty. Happenings ... .are multitudinous on this busy Thursday.

Ho-hum. Slipping discs Cold feet won't be the only end product of this win- ter's petroleum shortage. The record industry says that the lack of petroleum-based plastics used in producing records could force a cutback in production. While the Rolling Stones aren't likely to be turned away, unknown artists may have trouble getting contracts. The quality of the discs also may be on the way down as the indus- try's technicians experiment with some plastic substi- tutes. Sally The Kid A:13-year old girl robbed a lower Manhattan bank of over $2,000 yesterday, but was seized moments later by two Wells Fargo agents. According to police, the girl placed a brown paper bag in front of a woman teller and said, "fill it or I'll kill you." The girl did not show any weapon. Upon capture the girl said she had been put up to the crime by an adult male. Police believe she is the youngest person ever to attempt a bank robbery in the city's history. Protective reaction More than 50 South Vietnamese fighter-bombers blast- ed military targets around the Viet Cong administrative capital of Loc Ninh yesterday. The air-raid, the heav- iest since the cease-fire, was described as a punitive action to retaliate for recent communist attacks. "We do not regard the bombing as a violation of the cease- fire," said a Saigon spokesman. "because it was car- ried out only to punish the enemy for his violations." Consumer news Led by lower costs for farm products, wholesale prices declined in October for the second month in a row. Just what effect that decline would have on the retail level was not immediately clear, although Herbert Stein- chairman of the President's Council of Economic ad- visors -- predicted a considerable improvement in the coming months. Consumers can take the pennies they save on food and get ready to spend them on gasoline nrod-:ts whose price is expected to sky rocket this winter.

The Congressional action means that for the first time in history the President is specifically bar- red from conducting prolonged mili- tary operations - such as those in Vietnam - without a formal declaration of war by Congress. ' THE WORST legislative defeat Congress has dealt to Nixon came as the House of Representatives and then the Senate mustered the two thirds vote needed to put the bill into law over the President's objections. The Senate vote cane amid pleas by Republican supporters not to let concern over the Water- gate or the Middle East crisis af- fect the Congressional judgement. Even before the Senate - as expected - upheld the House ac- tion, the White House condemned Congress' move as a blow to the deterrent power of the United States and encouragement for po- tential adversaries to engage in in- ternational mischief. THE WHITE HOUSE said Nixon felt the ability of the United States to act decisively and convincingly in world crises had been under-, mined.

And in an official statement, the administration said it was pre- pared to spend the bulk of the extra cash on a 5.5 per cent salary hike for teaching fellows and other financial commitments to TFs announced yesterday in a related decision. THE UNIVERSITY yesterday released "tentative" figures indi- cating that the massive tuition hike has pushed revenue levels past the $42.1 million needed to fill budget needs by at least $3.75 million. According to the statenent, the considerable overshoot results from "an excess of enrolled students" and a low number of applicants for in-state tuition under the new residency rules approved last summer. University President Robben Fleming and Vice President for Aca- demic Affairs Allan Smith both pledged earlier this term that in the event of a revenue excess, student input and open discussion would precede any decisions on use of the excess cash. But several sources have indicated that much of the tentative budget outlinedyesterday by-passed officials and students involved in the normal budget decision- making process. According to an official statement, the executive officers will recommend the following distribution of the extra money: * $2 million "to maintain the 1972-73 status of teaching fellows," including a 5.5 per cent salary hike and temporary reinstatement of in-state tuition benefits for out-of-state TFs; 0 Removal of a previously-approved $4-per-student "fee for rec- reation purposes" which would have been assessed during the winter term; 0 $60,000 allocated to provide additional 'staff for the Office of Student Financial Aid; ! $1.5 million "utilized to cover other expenses and contingencies . . . (including) higher utility charges, which have taken place since the present budget was established." VICE PRESIDENT for Student Services Henry Johnson, who is one of the executive officers, told The Daily, "I didn't know about the recommendations until (yesterday) morning." He added that "there was limited dialogue on these items" and indicated that with the exception of the TF allotment, the "executive officers' recommendations" originated almost solely from Smith, Flem- ing, and Chief Financial Officer Wilbur Pierpont.
