SGC takes Gill
Three months after his resig-
nation, the controversy surround-
ing Lee Gill's handling of SGC
money rages on.
This week, the student govern-
Iment's president, attorney, and
treasurer - herself a Gill ap-
pointee - filed civil charges
against the flashy former prez,
alleging misuse of nearly $8,000
in student funds.
It was a familiar story. Almost
since the beginning of his trun-
cated term of office, the enig-

matic Gill-an ex-convict and the
University's first black student
president - had been hit by his
opponents for allegedly playing
fast and loose with student
funds.
Last fall, anonymous leaflets
appeared on campus charging
that over the summer Gill had
removed cash from an SGC oc-
count in Ann Arbor and placed
it in a Detroit bank under his
own name.
Gill claimed that he had in-

tended to establish an SGC ac-
count in Detroit but found he
lacked the proper papers and
had to put the money in his own
name "temporarily."
Extensive investigations by
both The Daily, and SGC failed
to turn up evidence to disprove
Gill's story.
Gill and his supporters, mean-
while, dismissed the charges as
part of a "racist campaign" to
discredit him. SGC meetings
grew increasingly heavy, becom-
ing a virtual open forum for ra-
cial hostilities which had been
brewing for sometime. In the be-
ginning of January, Gill finally
resigned.
Last week's court action pro-
mises to set the stage for the
final act of the Gill tragedy.
What role Gill himself will play
remains unclear-he hasn't been
heard from in several days.
But it's a safe bet that the dy-

The Regents
and salaries
The pressure is once again
on the Regents to release a prof.-
by-prof. accounting of faculty
salaries.
Wednesday afternoon, Eastern
Michigan University declared
its intention to make such a dis-
closure. In response, University
Regent Gerald Dunn (D-Lansing)
promised to re-introduce the mat-
ter at the April Regents meeting.
Saginaw Valley, Delta Colleges
and Michigan State have al-
ready made salaries public. And
last August, State Attorney Gen-
eral Frank Kelley stated in a
formal opinion that salaries of
employes at tax-supported insti-
tutions are public information.
And yet, it is considered unlike-
hy that the Regents, who have re-
jected similar proposals in the
past, are ready to change their
minds.
The reason: Strong and con-
tinuing pressure f r o m older,
more conservative, and - in
many cases - more highly paid
elements of the faculty to keep
their salaries a secret.

campaign notes
Many observers,some of them HRP workers, believe
that the campaign of their party's Second Ward candidate
-Kathy Kozachenko - has been seriously damaged by her
controversial self-introductory leaflet which has been dis-
tributed in the ward for the past few weeks.
The leaflet opens with a poem and rambles on into a
discursive, philosophical essay on modern capitalist so-
ciety viewed from a radical homosexual perspective.
It is embarrassingly lacking in, substantive discussion of
nuts and bolts city issues.
HRP spokespersons vigorously defend the leaflet as Hon-
est and necessary. However, new Kozachenko literature-
tight, direct, and issue-oriented-has recently been re-
leased.
The tight-rope on which Democrats have been walking
on this year's rent control proposal claimed its first victim
last week. Colleen McGee - the party's candidate in the
First Ward - came under fire from both Republicans and
HRPers who charge her with taking contradictory stands
on the issue.
Specifically, they contend that she has expressed support
for the proposition before student audiences while claiming
to be against it in an interview with the conservative Ann
Arbor News.
McGee says she supports rent control "in principle"
while maintaining some reservations about this specific
proposal - the same position taken by Second Ward Demo-
crat Mary Richman. She says the charges against her are
a result of mis-quotes and misunderstandings.

The Ann Arbor Sun - the voice of the city's counter-
cultural "rainbow community" - has made a final and
complete break with HRP, refusing to endorse Any of the
radical third party's candidates.
As expected, the Sun backed Democrat Jamie Kenworthy
in his bid to unseat Republican William Colburn-arch-
bogeyman of the rainbowites. They endorsed Democrat
Colleen McGee in the First Ward, but found no one they
liked anywhere else.
The slap at HRP came as the culmination of the Sun's
growing disenchantment with the party over its habit of
splitting the left-of-center vote in close races.
