THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, April 17, 1974 Police say SLA holdup motive could be to show off Hearst unusual bank holdup I've ever seen." BATES SAID the cameras took 1,200 pictures during the five-min- ute robbery. Police and FBI agents returned yesterday to the area where two getaway cars were abandoned in hopes of finding witnesses who saw the fleeing bandits. "It's amazing we haven't found anybody," McInerney said. "But we got out there late. We're going back out again today and start querying at about the time they left the cars after the robbery. We might hit somebody now." He said a dozen inspectors and scores of FBI agents were assign- ed full time to the search for the four women and five men who staged the bizarre daylight holdup. Director named for Residential College (Continued from Page 1) OFFICIALS close to LSA Dean Frank Rhodes say that Ross has been unofficially named for a three year term. Orlin will now resume teaching in the Near Eastern Studies De- partment. Named as director of the college for '73-'74, Orlin's name was automatically placed on a search committee's list of five re- commended candidates. But Orlin withdrew last week, explaining, "I am primarily a teacher and, I hope, a scholar. Cer- tainly I'm interested in career va- riety, but I don't see myself as a continuing administrator." RC STUDENTS applauded Or- lin's departure. According to Rich- man, "When Orlin came here, he was given the benefit of every doubt. He blew it rapidly by being a social blunderer. He had no idea what the RC was about, and he still has no idea." I Citing three reasons for Orlin's decision to remove his name from consideration, Richman said, "The student body here became very antagonistic towards his presence; the faculty didn't respect him; and he was not accomplishing any of his goals." Cort Tramontin, '74, member of the RC Joint Board pointed to pressure from RC faculty, stu- dents, and administrators in forc- ing Orlin's move. BUT ORLIN contended that he had volunteered for the job only for a one year term. Discussing his feelings towards the RC he said, "There are a number of very' creative and bright students. I could wish, myself, for more va- riety in curriculum, but it takes time. You can't have instant success." Tramontin asserted, "Orlin clear- ly did not fit the tempo of the col- lege. He was a strict academician and saw nothing else to take ad- vantage of." One student said heatedly, "Everyone hated Orlin and was glad to see him leave." According to Richman, Orlin no longer attends executive meetings and the RC executive committee has delegated his responsibilities to physics Pro.f Jen Zorn until Ross assumes the post in July.

Sparling, who worked for Har- vey for 13 years, said he will de- cide within three or four days whe- ther he will run against Traxler in November when the congress- man-elect will have to run for a full two-year term. The defeated Republican said Watergate was "absolutely not" an issue in the campaign. IN PREVIOUS GOP losses in Ohio and Grand Rapids, post-elec- tion surveys showed that opposi- tion to Nixon's handling of the Watergate scandal and other prob- lems contributed strongly to the outcome. As a result, however, some Michigan GOP leaders questioned Sparling's decision to invite Nix- on, though most said after the presidential visit they thought it had helped. The White House hoped the re-' sult would be a Republican vic- tory that would demonstrate re- newed presidential popularity and ease impeachment pressure in the House. But the 45-year-old . Sparling's majority in the Thumb, the re- gion of small towns and farms where Nixon campaigned, ran be- hind that polled by Harvey in 1972. Both candidates voted early in the day, Sparling near his home just outside Saginaw, Traxler in the Democratic stronghold of Bay City. Election officials reported a heavy vote in both Bay City and Saginaw, while in some of the ru- rual areas visited by Nixon, ear- lier vote forecasts were increased on the basis of a large early turn- out. The vacancy was created when Harvey, who had held the seat since 1960, was named a federal judge. Two years ago, the GOP lawmaker won 59 per cent of the district's votes, while Nixon was carrying it with 64 per cent. Traxler, -a Bay City attorney be- fore his election to the Michigan House, has been campaigning for WANTED- 400 well-wishers to invest more or less $50.00 cash to make DAVID'S BOOKS the best, cheapest (25% off), and one of the biqgest A.

He called the election "a refer- endum on Nixon's policies and moral leadership," describing Nix- on as "the real, the only issue." He cited Sparling's 10 weeks as a White House liaison man as evi- dence he is "Nixon's candidate." Sparling, a political writer for the Saginaw News before he be- came Harvey's top aide, said the issue is who will make the best congressman. He attacked Traxler for missing 1,313 roll calls in the Michigan House and contended his Democratic rival favored school busing and abortion, which Trax- ler denied. The day after Nixon's visit, Sparling sent out a letter urging the district's voters against vent- ing their "disappointments and fru'strations" at the polls. Each candidate spent in the neighborhood of $100,000, and each had substantial outside assistance. The state's top Republican leaders, led by Sen. Robert P. Griffin and GOP Chairman McLaughlin, work- ed hard for Sparling, while organ- ized labor threw its resources in for Traxler. Besides Nixon, outside campaign- ers included Sen. Charles Percy (R-111.) for Sparling and Sen. ' H e n r y Jackson (D-Wash.) for Traxler. SPARLING, who worked for 10 weeks last summer as a White House aide, quietly admitted he had lost, but made no further state- ment. Traxler was jubilant. He had to wait five minutes, until the cheers of his supporters had died away, before he could make his brief victory statement. IHe obtained most of his support from the car manufacturing towns of Saginaw and nearby Bay City, where unemployment, caused by the recent fuel shortage, has soar- ed to 10 per cent of the working population. IN HURON County, where Nixon began his whirlwind barnstorming campaign trip, Sparling polled 6,795 votes to 4,330 for Traxler. But Democrats said Traxler ran 11 per cent ahead of any Democrat in any county Congressional elec- tion. Another triumph for Traxler came in Saginaw City, hometown of his Republican rival where Trax- ler won with 11,319 votes to 8,061 forax rhs been a state repre- sentative since 1962. When he heard Nixon was coining to the area on behalf of Sparling, he of- fered to buy the President's plane ticket: 4 We can't offer you breathtaking sunsets, waterfalls, or Mediterranean soothing evenings.
