Newbury claims there are 200 to 300 ballots marked in this fashion. Some, he said were stuffed for other candidates. Bauer characterized these votes as "stray ballots to make it (the fraud) look decent." The majority of the supposedly fraudulent ballots voted for man- datory funding and constitutional reform for SGC. Mark Schare, a candidate for SGC president, later revealed that in a private meeting Newbury had' with each of the candidates he had been told that a small number of these ballots had been cast for him.

Paul Howard, who wrote the pro- gram used for the computer that will tabulate the election results, claims that "the only massive 0I claims fraud would be made by the person who had access to the magnetic tape (used in computer tabulation) and a supply of stickers." Although Newbury would not deny that interpretation of the fraud, Dunaskiss called it "ques- tionable. Newbury said the most likely ex- planation of the fraud was that someone had stolen stickers during this term's registration and prob- ably the receipts as well. Whoever is responsible, said New- bury, has apparently "screwed up" the whole system so that all of the See ELECTION, Page 8 IF YOU SLEE NEIwS HAPPEiN CALL76"1AIV Nixon swolle clamps tmeat lid on Cops slam candidates In a press release issued yesterday, the Ann Arbor Police Officers Association slammed recent pledges by mayoral candi- dates to fire Police Chief Walter Krasny if elected. The cops were apparently referring to a promise made by Democratic mayoral hopeful Franz Mogdis that if he wvere elected, Krasny would definitely be on his way out; and to similar hints made by HRP's candidate for mayor, Be Kaimowitz. The statement fur- ther urged voters to elect "responsible, representative leadership on Monday." With two candidates out of their favor, and Re- publican James Stephenson the only hopeful who wants to retain Krasny's services, we wonder who they were referring to. Teachers axed One hundred teachers and 17 administrators found themselves without jobs yesterday as a result of belt tightening by the Ann Arbor School Board. Director of School Personnel Stanley Vubel told the Daily the cut-backs were the only way the school system can meet its reduced budget. Larry Stewart, president of the Ann Arbor Education Association, begged to differ, character- izing the cuts as "the first concrete step to dismantle the Ann Arbor Schools." His organization plans to file a grievance against the board. Franz hits back Democratic mayoral hopeful Franz Mogdis hit back yesterday at opponents who have charged that his drug control program constitutes preventive detention. The proposal, Mogdis said, calls for "voluntary, not manditory" urine tests for those accused of property crimes. If the tests reveal heroin by-products and the suspect agrees to treatment, normal bail would be reduced. "There is absolutely no penalty for refusing to take the test or refusing to enter a rehabilitation program," Mogdis said. Proposal A boosted No issue since mom and apple pie has attracted the almost incredible across-the-board support which seems to be flocking to the mass transit proposal on the April ballot. Yesterday no less than 25 community groups-including ROTC students, the } Tennants Union, the League of Women's Voters, and the Council for Black Concerns-all announced their endorsement. The pro- posal calls for a 2.5 mill tax increase to fund personalized door- to-door bus service in the city. Hash Fest notes ... a new wrinkle has been added to Sunday's Hash Festival.

According to Deputy Inspector Kenneth Marple, of the Milwaukee Police Department, investigators have discovered a YMCA ticket issued in Toledo, Ohio, Sunday, to a man fitting Davis' description. The ticket was found in Fahr's automobile, a 1970 yellow Chevelle, which was abandoned by a gunman early Wednesday morning in an exchange of gun- fire with a Shorewood, Wisconsin policeman. The discovery of the ticket, issued last Sunday night to a man calling himself "John Tucker," sent an Ann Arbor police detective racing to Toledo to interrogate the manager of the YMCA. The YMCA manager tentatively identified Tucker as fitting the description of Davis. According to the manager, Tucker checked into the hostel Sunday night and left in the late after- noon the following day. See related story, Page 8 The evidence is considered especially important because police and FBI agents have so far been unable to get a good finger print of Davis from Fahr's automobile. Thus, the YMCA ticket may be the only link police have between Davis and Fahr. Though police are being cautious in their public statements they are clearly working on the theory that Davis, using the name Tucker, found his way to Ann Arbor that evening, where he abductedsFahr. Fahr, a 20-year old junior oceanography major in the engineering school, is still missing and police appear to be without leads as to her whereabouts. Officers in Wisconsin and Michigan, and agents of the FBI have launched an intensive search for the woman. The capture of Davis came early yesterday morn- ing after a dramatic gunbattle in downtown Mil- waukee.
