Has- sles with the athletic department and silence from rock impressario Bill Graham in New York are behind the delay. Information is not expected until this weekend at the earliest according to spokespersons at UAC. " Too young The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a lower court ruling that barred 15 year-old Sonia Yaco, a local high school student, from running for a seat on the Ann Ar- bor Board of Education. Yaco ran for the seat in the spring of 1972 on the Human Rights Party ticket. Her petition was denied by the school system on the grounds that she was a minor, a decision upheld by yesterday's court ruling. Despite her underage status, Yaco managed to pick up some 1200 votes in her school board contest. Silver lining The devaluations of the U. S. dollar that have taken place over the past two years are now having some posi- tive repercussions according to Business Prof. Ross Wil- helm. Wilhelm notes that as a result of the devaluation more European and Japanese tourists are visiting Ameri- ca than ever before. Foreign investment in U. S. com- panies, including the actual building of new plants here, has also jumped sharply. 0 Happenings... are light on this Tuesday.

D. 0 Sanitation success Americans have more confidence in the men who pick up their garbage than they do in their police, their churches, and yes, even in their President according to the latest Harris Poll. Published yesterday in the Wash- ington Post, the poll indicated that only 18 per cent of those questioned put "a great deal" of confidence in the White House. Garbagemen, on the other hand, received a whopping 52 per cent approval rating placing them second only to doctors who managed 57 per cent. Given the President's reputation for sharp political instincts, we should not be surprised to see a garbageman in the Cabinet some time in the near future. Rock orgy Once content to merely destroy their instruments, the rock band "The Who" has apparently moved on to big- ger and better things. The band was arrested in Mon- treal yesterday after they allegedly wrecked their hotel suite. Though they consented to pay damage costs to the tune of $6,000 the group may still face criminal charges. The hotel management was brought to the scene by irate guests who had complained of the tremendous noise, especially the crashing of glass. 0 Edgar honored Taking time off from the pressing matters of State, the House of Representatives yesterday voted to create a medal honoring the late J. Edgar Hoover for his serv- ice as director of the FBI. Passed by a voice vote was a resolution that read, "During the 48 years of his tenure, he changed the agency from one marked by scandal and corruption into a model of investigative efficiency and integrity." The legislation was proposed by Rep. Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee. Watergate note Burglary and conspiracy charges against former White House plumber Egil Krogh were dropped yesterday by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gordon Ringer. Ac- cording to the prosecutor, the charges, which stem from a break-in at the offices of Daniel Ellsberg's psychia- trist, were dropped because Krogh had earlier agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of violating the civil rights of the psychiatrist. lie is expected to testify in the upcoming trials of fellow plumber David Young and former Nixon aide John Ehrlichman.

The Denver Post quoted Love as saying he was resining because he did not want to stay in Washington at a "super- fluous job." In a copyrighted story, Love was quoted as saying "it's been difficult to try to do anything meaningful and even to get the attention of the President. AP Photo Residents of the Old Order Amish community near Oelwein, Iowa, are unpreturbed by the energy crisis, inflation, threats of fuel rationing and lower highway speeds. They walk or ride in horse-drawn buggies, use wood for heating and cooking, and burn only kerosene for their lamps. Here a child walks down a country road to a one-room Amish school where other pupils have already arrived by buggy. Amish leaders say their schools won't close because of a fuel shortage. VOTE 6-4: Residency Ci*ty Council redscinds kruling Tri'bal Funwiding contract affirmed By JACK KROST City Council last night rescinded the city's revenue sharing contract with Tribal Funding, charging the organization with contract violations. Last March the city agreed to finance the Rain- bow People's Party affiliated Tribal Funding organi- zation in exchange for various youth-oriented serv- ices. That agreement has now been terminated. THE CITY formerly had contracted with Tribal Funding under the federal revenue sharing progrart, to provide financing for services including 24 indoor- concerts, a community ballroom, a food co-operative, and the Psychedelic Rangers. However, a vituperative and extended City Council session last night, despite groans and catcalls from members of the packed audience, saw the downfall of that contract in a six to four vote. A written communication from M a y o r James Stephenson, at the beginning of the meeting, sum- marized the position of Council Republicans on Tribal Funding's alleged violation of contract. THE MAYOR, who wasn't in attendance, but pre- ferred to make his views known from a written memo while attending a mayor's conference in Puerto Rico, argued that Tribual Funding has committed three legally suspects acts. First, and primary in the mayor's mind, is the fact that the organization has not yet put on any of the 24 concerts originally agreed to. Tribal Funding spokespersons maintain that they haven't been able to locate a ballroom, which is pre- requisite to presenting the concerts. High Court rules joni Seattle case WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court upheld yesterday the right of states to impose a one- year residency requirement for tuition purposes at publicly financ- ed colleges and universities. It is common practice to charge higher tuition to out-of-state stu- dents at state colleges and univer- sities. About 120 University of Washington s t u d e n t s sued to change the situation there. IN A BRIEF ORDER, the High Court affirmed a 2-1 ruling on June 20 by a special three-judge federal court in Seattle. Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall voted to hear the case but four votes are neces- sary to place a case on the Su- preme Court docket. The state had agreed that all but two of the University of Wash- ington students had established a bona fide residence in the state. THE STUDENTS contended that under the constitutional guarantee of "equal protection of the laws" all residents should be treated the same, regardless of the length of time they had been in the state. The difference in tuition is about $1,000 a year. The supreme court in 1971 up- held a similar requirement in Min- nesota. LAST TERM, it struck down a Connecticut practice that obliged an out-of-state student to continue in that status during the entire time he attended a state institution. NIXON SAID he accepted Love's resignation with deep regret. He said his former energy chief had done "an outstanding job un- der difficult circumstances in im- plementing the positive actions taken thus far by the administra- tion to meet the energy crisis." The President had planned to announce yesterday the creation of a new super agency to oversee energy problems. But the an- nouncement was delayed until to- day-apparently because of a split within the administration over the I need for gas rationing. LOVE, WHO resigned as Repuk- lican governor of Colorado last July to become director of the President's Energy Policy Office, will be succeeded as Nixon's energy czar by William Simon, deputy treasury secretary. Simon, an opponent of gasoline rationing, will head the new Fed- eral Energy Administration being created by Nixon to coordinate all energy policies. Love's deputy, Charles Dibona, also resigned, administration offi- cials said. THE RESIGNATIONS by the President's two top energy officials came on the eve of a shake-up within the administration to deal with the growing fuel crisis,height- ened by the Arab embargo on cil. supplies to the United States. Simon was interviewed briefly moments after the White House formally announced Love's resigna- tion. The nation's new energy czar said he will press for a decision on gasoline rationing "in the very near future, and I emphasize very." At the same time, the White House said the President would issue a statement today "outlining future administration plans." THESE PRESUMABLY are 'he expected announcement of creation of a new Federal Energy Adminis- tration taking over programs now in the Interior Department and in Love's White House Energy Policy Office. Simon is deputy secretary of the treasury and is to retain that post while heading the new energy agency. He said in the interview that speculation that the reorganization reflected a victory by Treasury Secretary George Shultz and his suggestion of a gasoline tac over Love who thought rationing would be necessary was "sheer non- sense." SIMON ALSO said the federal agency wouldSbe independent but See ENERGY, Page 7 JOHN LOVE: "It's been diffi- cult to try to (/0 anything mean- ing f ni . ." U considers student-set dorm rates The University Housing Depart- ment is currently studying a pro- posal under which dorm rates would be set by a student-run policy committee rather than by the Regents. The proposal comes in the form of a recommendation from a spe- cial subcommittee of the Housing P o l i c y Committee (H.PC) that, changes be made in dorm leases granting control over a wide range of housing matters to HPC. HPC-AN 11-MEMBER, student- dominated board-is currently em- powered to make recommendations on housing policy to the housing department and the Regents. Under this proposal, however, HPC's hand would be considerably strengthened by a clause in leases granting them "policy-making au- thority" on a wide range of hous- ing matters and stating that rents "shall be set" by HPC. The Regents would be allowed to alter HPC decisions only when necessary to "meet minimally ac- ceptable operating expense," to "safeguard health, safety and wel- fare," to prevent "hazardous or illegal activities," or to "comply with legally incurred obligations of the University." UNIVERSITY Attorney Roderick See 'U', Page 2 Daily Photo by DAVID MARGOLICK NORRIS THOMAS: "This is ridiculous . . . it's obvious that there hasn't been a breach of contract." THE MAYOR currently renting on 1510 Hill St., a U' Council to discuss creation of separate campus police force also cited that Tribal Funding is offices at the First Zenta Church house that is associated with RPP. "Since many members of Tribal Funding have contracts with RPP, they are in effect, renting office space from themselves," he con- cluded. A final aspect of contention is the fact that 1510 Hill St. is located in an "R-2B" housing zone, which is currently zoned against office space. DEMOCRATIC and H u m a n Rights Party councilmembers dis- puted that the terms of the con- tract had been violated, and also questioned the Republicans' mo- tives. Councilmember Carol Jones (D- Second ward) contended that the Republicaniresolution was essen- tially a political move, in view of Republican ideologicalddisagree- ment with city provided social services. "It's no secret of the Republi- can's desire to get rid of the city's social services contracts, she said.

The proposal of an independent police force of 164 officers posses- sing legal police authority on cam- pus, was recently proposed as a resi'lt of a $17,000 study prepared by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). The of- ficers would be paid by the Univer- sity and concerned only with Uni- versity affairs. -Will an independent Univer- sity police force need its own mari- juana policy; -Should the force be armed; -Will the force draw men from the city police force and leave it stripped of its younger, more en- ergetic men; and, -Will the independent campus force cause a duplication of ef- forts instead of streamlining the operation, as it is intended to do?

The two culprits successfully defrauded the insurance company by explaining that the body was that of a long lost relative. For Mudgett this was only the beginning of his protracted and sordid life of murder and fraud. By the time he was hanged on May 7, 1805, he had admitted the murders of 27 people ranging eeth centuryx rbegan at U While in Ann Arbor, Mudgett initiated his life of crime. After befriending A. B. Palmer, then Med school dean, Mudgett quickly broke into the dean's house } and ransacked all of his valuables. Although already married, Mudgett proposed to his landlady. On discovering his duplicity, the landlady complained to school authorities. No dis- ciplinary action was taken. By the time Mudgett was caught by police in 1895 he had accumulated a string of over five wives. AFTER GRADUATING, Mudgett migrated west
