While the traditionally Democratic United Auto Workers (UAW) colnty leadership has given its blessing to Bendix-em- ployed Democratic Frank Mogdis' candidacy for city mayor, rank and file UAW members at Buhr Machine Tools, plant, re- veal they voted 74-1 to ask union officials not to endorse Mogdis. Buhr union steward George Judy says the Buhr workers have found all Bendix management personnel "strongly anti-union" and they ftear Mogdis would feel pressure from Bendix to keep them in line in case of a strike. Mogdis calls the remarks "fal- lacious." Empty cupboards When members of the Goddard House Co-op went to their cupboard early yesterday morning they discovered that it was missing its supply of turkey, ham and pork sausage. It seems as if some $40 worth of meat and poultry had been pouched by 4 protein-crazed carnivour who raided Goddard's icebox dur- ing the night. Although city police had no comment, it seems probable that the thieves were reacting to the outrageous prices of meat and poultry. Was Nixon to blame for Mother Hubbard's lament too?

The book, based on tape-recorded faked confessions, was already sold out at two of Rome's major book- stores after being on sale for less than a day. Reacting against what the Vatican called "soul spies", Pope Paul VI ordered the excommunication of anyone who, like the authors of "Sex and Confession" tape-records Roman Catholic confession. Lennon's lament NEW YORK (UPI) - Rockmusician Jchn Lennon has not yet decided whether to appeal a U.S. Immigration Service order that he leave the country within 60 days, the National Commit- tee for John and Yoko said yesterday. A spokesman said Len- non informed the committee from Los Angeles that he and his wife Yoko Ono were still considering what action they should take. They have ten days to appeal. Roller derby? READING, Pa. - William Weihe was walking on a Reading street when a man on roller skates and wearing sunglasses roll- ed by and struck him over the head with a sword. It took seven stitches to close the gash. Police are investigating. A lot of bull MADRID - Matador Luis Segura rushed into a crowded square here a week ago and killed an escaped bull before anyone was hurt. Now the police are out searching for the bullfighter, who had announced his intention of coming out of retirement. They allege that Segura arranged for the bull to be freed from a truck while he waited with a photographer. Hairbrained WASHINGTON - Can a $2,758 hair transplant be tax deduc- tible on grounds of health? Senator William Proxmire's tax expert thought so. The deduction was listed on Proxmire's 1972 tax return which he published in the Congress this week. "On re- consideration," Proxmire said, "I simply must disagree on the justification for the mnedical expense as necessary for my{ health."

"I don't feel that it's unclear as it now stands on the ballot," says Jacobs. He said any confusion will be explained in the SGC newsletter, Michigan Student News, saying "I can't be responsible for everyone not doing their homework" if the explanations are not read by stu- dents. According to Bill Dobbs, an SGC mem- ber-at-large who is an outspoken pro- ponent of voluntary funding, Jacobs and the present SGC leaders "have done their damndest to effectively cloud the issue of funding via the new moderate proposal of $.75." "It's unclear what they're going to do to throw out whatever passes if they don't like it," he said. How much SGC needs the student assessments, in addition to the healthy sums it receives from the Regents and its charter airlines and insurance policy programs, is unclear. But SGC apparently was w o r r i e d enough about the outcome to include a program making all college governments subject to voluntary funding. Jacobs explained the proposal as "making other student governments help us campaign a g a i n s t voluntary funding." During a heated SGC discussion last week, however, LSA Student Govern- ment member{!Bob Stephens contested the inclusion. of the proposal, calling it an "attempt to pull all student govern- ments into your leaky boat to help you bail out." Stephens also said the issue of volun- tary funding for the LSA government was resolved when students approved a proposal for mandatory funding i the fall of 1971. The proposal was stricken from the ballot. The controversial movement for volun- tary funding began early this term with a petition drive under the leadership of Matt Hoffman, SGC-at-large candidate, and Chuck Perlow, a member of the University Housing Council. 0 tenure in publication dispute By JUDY RUSKIN In what appears to be a greater push for publication and a national reputation, two as- sistant English 'professors have been denied tenure. Professors Joseph Mullin and John Raeburn, described by a colleague as "two demon- strably effective people in the classroom," were recommended for promotion by a major- ity of the English department executive com- mittee. By recommending the two for tenure, the committee gave approval to their teaching, departmental service and publication, the three criteria needed for promotion. Passed on to the Literary College (LSA) Executive Committee for final approval, the two tenure requests were turned down. A subsequent appeal to the college also failed. Although the college policy is not to comment on individual tenure cases, it is considered common knowledge among English department members that the LSA committee considered the candidates to be lacking publication. The college's decision highlights the struggle which exists over publication and its relation- ship to tenure. On the one side there are those who agree with the college's supposed equal weighting of all three requirements; on the other, those who believe too great an emphasis has been placed on publication in recent years-at the expense of teaching. "I do not quarrel with the criteria in the col- lege," says English department chairman Rus- See PROFS, Page 10 Data from W of { f bike study released4{ f Daily Photo by RANDY EDMONDS Shamrocks John Kolmetz, a member of Sigma Chi fraternity, collects donations for Shamrocks for Distrophy during a traffic slow-up yesterday in front of Angell Hall.

The survey was taken at regis- tration at the beginning of the term by ENACT. The replies re- ceived are "indicative of the trends of thought," according to ENACT representative Karen Mitchnick. A desire for improved bike paths is apparent, as 59 per cent of the students considered automobilesta serious problem to bicyclists and 71 per cent thought there was con- flict between pedestrians and bi- cyclists. The problem of bicycle security is a major issue.

THE MEN FROM C.R.O.A.K. ds. frogs by the thousands Tracking' brews controversy in Ann Arbor public schools By WILLIAM DALTON The method of placing high school students. into general or accelerated courses - usually called "tracking"-still exists on a large scale in Ann Arbor schools although some administra- tors believe it is banned. Tracking is more subtle than it once was, perhaps, but its effects-racial and economic segregation-are not. aMniir.P, un ,di Fl,,. of a CfiA A_..-.. D._..Rnrr Tracking usually begins at the junior high level in Ann Arbor on the basis of intelligence tests, teacher recommendations, and past performance. The problem is that once someone is deter- mined to be "better off" educationally by being in the "lower" or "higher" tracks, it is esoe- cially difficult for the student to get out of that track and into another one, particularly the higher one. that size is not normal. We are ready to discuss an acceptable fig- ure with the U.S. side." The Vietnam cease-fire agree- ment specifies that both the pri- soner exchange and the military withdrawal be completed by next Wednesday. The United States three days ago; insisted publicly that withdrawal of its troops from South Vietnam, as outlined in the cease-fire, was conditional on the release not onlyr of Americans held by North Viet- nnm and the Viet Cong but also of those cantured by the commun- ists in neighboring Laos. There are 107 Americans still held in North Vietnam. The Viet' Cong yesterday gave Wickham a What else would you call a place where they raise frogs by the thousands?
