Republican drops out Frederick Hermann - considered to be the leading contender in the Third Ward GOP primary - dropped out of the race yesterday claiming his business and per- sonal matters would require too much attention for him to serve on the City Council. His action leaves Richard Bertoa running unopposed in the Feb. 18 contest. Herr-. mann said political considerations played no role in his decision, but some GOP members were known to fear a bitter primary battle between Herrmann and Bertoia. 0 Queen bees? ISR researchers have come out with a finding which is not likely to make feminists very happy. They say women who have made it in the "man's world" tend to be more interested in keeping what they've got than helping to open up opportunities to other women. These researchers - doctoral students Graham Staines and Toby Epstein and undergrad Carol Travis - say success- ful women develop a "Queen Bee Syndrome" and feel threatened by nondiscriminatory policies because they tend to "relish the fact that they are 'special', that they have unique qualifications that allowed them to get high-ranking positions normally denied to women." The "Queen Bee", the researchers say, "feels little animosity toward the system that has permitted her to reach the top . . . (and) identifies with male colleagues who are in her reference group, rather than with the diffuse concept of women as a class." " Monday blues Which day of the week makes you feel the worst? Monday, right? Well . . . maybe you'd be interested to know that more people get colds and flu on Monday than any other day - at least, that's what researchers at the School of Public Health think. It's not just the prospect of another week in school or at the office which brings on these feelings of ill health, however. Accord- ing to the public health folks, most people catch colds in schools or at work, and, "after exposure during the week, the diseases are incubated and symptoms devel- op on the weekend or the following Monday." What crisis? Here's a cheery note for those worried about the fuel- shortage. 'U' Prof. Russell Wilson says bodies and light fixtures alone give off enough heat to keep the average classroom warm. That is, if this classroom is well-in- sulated. The catch, according to Wilson, is that most classrooms.are "very poorly insulated. They lack pro- visions which are standard in most private homes." 0 Happenings... .. . you can observe the alleged Comet Kohoutek thru the U's telescope, 5th floor Angell Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. . . . and the Psych Film Series features Multi- ple Man; Monkeys, Apes, and Man at MLB Aud. 3 at 4:30 p.m. (for other film listings, see Arts Page) . believe it.or not, that's all folks.

The Feminist Federal Credit Union was established so "women could pool their resources and establish a stronger monetary base and increased financial independence," said Jane Rothstein, manager of the Ann Arbor chapter. THE 500-MEMBER credit union, which is based in Detroit and also has a Kalamazoo branch, was established on Aug. 26--the 53rd anniver- sary of women winning the right to i The feminist credit union was designed to meet the needs of wo- men who are discriminated against by banks because of their marital status or judged by the credit rat- ing of their husband or father. "The goal of the credit union is not to make money for its stock- holdersbwhich is the purpose of a bank, but rather to provide serv- ices for its members," explains Rothstein, who has not held a bank account for three years. "BECAUSE WOMEN have a common bond, they can be honest about their reasons for a loan - be it for an abortion, a di- vorce, or as a means to becom- ing financially independent," she continued. "A woman is judged solely on her ability to re-pay." Although both sexes are eligible for membership, men are encour- aged to seek loans elsewhere if possible. According to Rothstein, most loans go to women who have re- cently separated from their hus- bands or need funds for business Militant tells of'progress 0since ing By MARY LONG It initially seemed ironic that Ken Cockrel was chosen by the Center for Afro-American Studies to guest lecture on Martin Luther King's birthday. To all outward appearances, the militant black Detroit lawyer and the legendary civil rights martyr are complete opposites. Yet closer examination shows they do share an intensity concerning their most essential purpose - to resolve the problems facing blacks in our pre- sent society efficiently, thorough- ly and permanently.
