Impeachment march
Supporters of the movement to impeach President Nix-
on will rally on the Diag at noon today for speakers,
guerrilla theatre, and a march to Republican Congress-
man Marvin Esch's office on Huron at Fourth St. March-
ers will be carrying Esch petitions with over 3,000 signa-
tures of local voters favoring impeachment. Today's'
march will replace the one scheduled for last Friday
that was postponed due to bad weather.
The day after
In a Speech 100 lecture entitled "Limits of Communi-
cations Effects," associate professor and a loser in last
night's Fourth Ward race William Colburn warned stu-
dents that a speech can effect listeners in unexpected
ways. "We must ask ourselves what prevents us from
being successful in communication," he said. Amid guf-
faws from the audience, Colburn alluded to his unex-
pected defeat, "I spent a lot of time trying to convince
Fourth Ward voters into accepting my views, but now I
realize that a tremendous amount of people don't share
them." Concluding the class early, Colburn cautioned,
"Never show disrespect for other people's views."
HRP celebrates
As the HRP victory celebration continued into its
second day yesterday, the party's Second Ward winner,
Kathy Kozachenko, commented on Monday night's elec-
tion results. Kozachenko, who campaigned openly as a
lesbian, said "This victory is significant because for
the first time in this country, an openly gay person has
been elected to City Council. Ten years ago, being open-
ly gay would've meant automatic defeat. We've picked
up a good deal of votes we haven't had before and our
victories have proven that this is just a beginning-
we'll be around for a long time to stay."
UHC race set
The University Housing Council (UHC), an all-student
committee on residencehall policy, voted yesterday to
hold its elections during pre-registration. Seats open In-
clude those of the president and seven dorm district
representatives. Anyone who wants to serve a half year
term on the Council must file with the SGC secretary, on
the third floor of the Union, between Friday April 5
and Tuesday April 16.
UAC recruiting
The University Activities Center (UAC) is looking
for students interested in producing next year's Soph
Show or MUSKET productions, or students interested in
being on the central coordinating committees of Future
Worlds, UAC Travel, or Mediatrics. Newcomers are wel-
come! Applications and 4further information are avail-
able at the UAC Travel Office, Second floor, Michigan
Union. Applications are due April 5, 1974.

Employment Relations Commission (MERC) election

ganization (GEO) as sole bargaining agent for the Uni-

bitter squabble over oil policy and the At-

States.
U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
and French Foreign Minister Michel Jo-
bert exchanged charges of bad faith. Wash-
ington accused the French of willfully im-
peding U. S. policies, and Parish claimed
the United States was trying to set the
members ofethe European Common Mar-
ket against each other.
IN RECENT weeks, Pompidou - the real
architect of French foreign policy - acted
to tone down the dispute. But he warned
nt his last Cabinet meeting March 27 that
he would reject U. S. attempts to control
European policy.
Relations with the United States and
the Common Market are two of the issues
dividing the Gaullists and their leftist op-
ponents, and - once the period of mourn-

City Council last night formally certified the results of
Monday night's election confirming the passage of the famous
$5 marijuana fine and the victory of Second Ward HRP candi-

Council also voted to discontinue the practice of borrow-
ing money from the Park Fund for bailing out other city pro-
grams in urgent need of cash.
THE POSSIBILITY of consolidating the city's health department
with the county health department was also explored, and council
approved the rezoning of an 87 acre parcel of:land so that progress can

SAN FRANCISCO W)-The exact
time and place of Patricia Hearst's
release will be disclosed within 78
hours, a communique bearing the
signature of the Symbionese Liber-
ation Army (SLA) said last night.
The communique was received
late yesterday by a biweekly un-
derground newspaper, the Phoe-
nix. Also enclosed was what looked
like half of the kidnaped news-
paper heiress' driver's license. The
newspaper said it had confirmed
the authenticity of the partial li-
cense which was Ms. Hearst's cor-
rect birth date and her signature.
The newspaper said it had re-
ceived the communique wrapped
in a dozen long-stem roses, which
were delivered by a local florist.
"IF IT'S TRUE we're delighted,"
said a statement released by mil-
lionaire Randolph H e a r s t, Ms.
Heart's father. "It sounds like
their (SLA's) communique. I wish
to believe it."
There was no way to confirm
that the communique was authen-
tic, but it followed the pattern and
style of previous SLA communica-
tions.

erday the White House has
omplied with a number of
requests for materials sought in
investigations by the Watergate
special prosecution force.
THE STATEMENT said new sub-
poenas may be issued for those
materials.
The White House earlier declined
to say that President Nixon turned
over to Jaworski last Friday all
the materials the prosecutor had
sought in a March 15 subpoena.
The special prosecutor's office
said that material is being ex-
amined now.
BUT THE SPOKESMAN said
that aside from the March 15 sub-
poena, other items still are sought
from the White House.
"We have made and will make
requests for materials whenever
we have sufficient cause to be-
lieve that they are relevant to the
various investigations that fall un-
der our mandate, which includes a
number of areas other than the
main Watergate case," the spokes-
man said. "A number of such re-
quests are outstanding."
In other Watergate-related mat-
ters, the Senate Watergate com-
mittee made a final plea yesterday
to the U. S. Court of Appeals for
access to five presidential tape re-
cordings.
SAMUEL DASH, the committee's
chief counsel, promised the court
that if the panel is given copies of
the tapes it will submit to a pro-
tective order preventing their pub-
lic release.

'senting President Nixon, said the

With virtually no pressing busi-
ness before Council last night,
much of the meeting was far more
relaxed than the meetings in re-
,cent weeks, although the opening
moments were a little tense..
Gay people packed the Council
chambers, both to thank the two
outgoing HRP Council members,
Jerry DeGrieck and Nancy Wech-
sler, for their service, and to
gloat over the defeat of William
Colburn.
A SUCCESSION of gay speakers
stepped up to the microphone to
congratulate Wechsler and De-
Grieck and also to condemn Col-
burn one last time before his re-
tirement.
James Toy told the two HRP
members, "I wish you peace and
love." Subsequently the pair was
presented with a cake which was
decorated with the words: "Rum-
ors of our death (HRP's) are pre-
mature."
Another man, who announced
himself as Diana Ross of Holly-
wood, presented Wechsler and De-
Grieck with the award for "best
councilpeople," in the "First Aca-
demy Awards of City Council."
HRP and the gay people also pre-
sented Colburn with a cake, and
the icing on his read, "Good-bye
Clyde-Love, Commies and Fag-
gots," in response to a Republi-
can who allegedly said election
night, "The hippies and faggots
are taking over the city."
AS THE CAKE was presented,
the speaker told Colburn, "this
one's for you golden boy, just to
let you know you're not forgotten."
While the gay people and the
IIRP members gloated, the Repub-
licans were visibly disconcerted.

HEW
By BARBARA CORNELL
Congressman Marvin Esch yes-
terday lashed out what he called
"inexcusable bureaucratic bungl-
ing" by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) in
handling a scholarship program to
help needy students become doc-
tors, dentists, nurses, and other
heailth specialists.
The program, enacted by Con-
gress more than 17 months ago,
was designed to help supply health
workers to over 5,000 communities
listed by the Health Services and
Mental Health Administration as
having no health care services.
ESCH CHARGED t h a t HEW's
Office of Health Manpower De-
velopment (OHMD), which is im-
plementing the program, has been
working at an unreasonably slow
rate which has virtually elimi-
nated the program.
James Kissinger, a spokesman
for the OHMD, said yesterday he
was "as embarrassed as anyone"
about the length of time the office
spent in getting the program into
action.
Kissinger said Manpower was
given two alternatives, to wait un-
til next year, or to try to work
under pressure to give as many
scholarships as possible this year,
"I guess we overestimated our-
selves," he admitted.
AS A RESULT of the agency's
slowness, students who accepted
grants through the program this
year will serve a year after gradu-
ation to pay off only two and a
half months of aid.
The scholarship p r o g r a m, as
passed by Congress, specifies that
eligible students receiveaid in
monthly installments to6 cover the
costs of tuition, books, school sup-
plies, and medical expenses. The
stipend was set at $600 per month,
a rate comparable to pay and al-
lowances of armed forces second
lieutenant or ensign.

night on the problems, processes, and benefits of
two groups of clericals. One faction, concentrated in
the Medical Center area, wants the Association of
