Bruce Wampler, a University student who hails from the fair city of Casper saw the item and brought in a clipping 'of his own. The clip, torn from the pages of the Casper Star-Tribune, shows a picture of some Ann Arbor dope smokers toking away during last Sunday's Hash Festival. This dope-note exchange leads us to believe that, unlike Richard Nixon, dope can truly bring us together. Smokey hospitalized Smokey, The Daily's news hound and ad hoc mascot, was reported in satisfactory condition yesterday after being run over by a motorist near his Southside home. The beagle-etc. who suffered a broken leg apparently failed to look both ways before crossing the street, and was hit in the rear by the car. He was rushed to hospital where surgery was undertaken. Cards and letters can be sent to 'Get Well Soon Smokey,' 420 Maynard, Ann Arbor 48104. A book burning Book burning, one of the favorite hobbies of Hitler's brown- shirts and the topic of the terrifying Ray Bradbury novel Faren- heit 451, will make a comeback here next week. Advocates for Medical Information, a local group, is sponsoring the immolation of elected works that they find "sexist". The affair will be at noon, April 11, unless it rains, when it will be rescheduled for the first clear day thereafter. The Today column considers this action to be boorish and disgusting. Harvey saga The great political trial of the month which was scheduled to begin yesterday was postponed until May 17. The defendant is of course none other than former Washtenaw County Sheriff Douglas Harvey. Harvey is being tried on a drunk and disor- derly charge which was alleged to have taken place after his car plunged into a ditch off I-7S last month. Defense attorneys cited Harvey's poor health-as the reason for the delay. Conference scheduled A Women's Community Symposium will be held tomorrow in Angell Hall, and promises to be a most interesting event. Spon- sored by the Students for Educationa Innovation, the LSA Stu- dent Government, Dean Wilbuir Cohen of the School of Educa- tion and SGC's Minority Affairs Committee, the day-long con- ference will feature presentations by women's groups represent- ing all phases of community life - from the Rainbow Sisters to the National Welfare Rights Organization. The conference begins at 10 a.m. in Angell Hall. Day care facilities will be provided at the Newman Center. This conference represents the first such co-operative effort in the city. Faculty fights The U-M Association for Collective Bargaining says that 49 faculty members whose salaries depend on federal funds should not be laid off if President Nixon budget plans are approved by Congress. The ACB says that these faculty members should be absorbed into the regular faculty, if they meet tenure require- ments. The group's position may conflict with a Regents' bylaw which states that faculty positions funded from limited term funds terminate when the funds end. All of the positions affected by the budget cuts are in the U-H School of Public Health and the U-M School of Social Work. There is some effort being made in Congress to restore public health funds.

Veral inflation TORONTO-Police here reported that burglars yesterday got away with $850 worth of ham and processed meats from a downtown delicatessen. Detectives searching for the stolen goods asked neighbors if they had seen anyone in the area with a truck. One cynical resident responded, "With the price of meat today, it would probably fit into a car trunk without moving the spare tire." Myth shattered BOSTON - Like Santa Calus and little elves bowling in the sky, the story of Paul Revere's famous ride may not be all it's cracked up to be. According to historian Richard O'Donnell, a great deal of the Revere legend' is simply fictitious. There was he claims no "one if by land, two if by sea," from the old North Church. Revere rode not to Concord but to Lexingston to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock (who was out with a girl friend) that the British were coming to arrest them. Is nothing sacred? Stones news WARWICK, R. I.,- Defense attorneys here tried unsuccess- fully yesterday to get criminal charges dropped against the Roll- ing Stones. The charges stem from are alleged airport scuffle be- tween police and the band during the group's recent American tour. The five are charged with assault and obstructing a police officer. A trial will be arranged at the nearest convenient date. Walter attacked NEW YORK - Walter Croakite was for some strange rea- son hissed and pelted with rolls of electrician's tape Thursday night when he reported on, his regular evening news program that Congress had returned from a three-day recess. Nestor James, a network technician was the culprit and he was prompt- ly dismissed. That's the way it is, Friday, April 6. By SUE SOMMER With the target 'date of Sep- tember, 1973 fast approaching, University officials concede that they will not reach their com- mitment of 10 per ient black en- rollment on time. Citing inadequate supportive services-including finacial aid- and a declining applicant pool, they estimate that black students will make up 8.5-9 per cent of the total University population next year. The 10 per cent was "assured" by the Board of Regents in the spring of 1970 after the Black Action Movement (BAM) strike had effectively shut down the University for more than a week. At the time of the strike, blacks comprised approximately 4.8 per cent of the student enrollment. The institution created to meet the demands of the new recruit- ment efforts was the Opportunity Program. Speaking about the program this week, newly ap- pointed director George Goodman blames the failure in part on the unprojected rise in the attrition rate of black students. Goodman attributes the rising drop-out rate to the University's lack of strong supportive services including academic counseling, financial aid and housing assist- ance. "The students go from one of- fice to another for help," he comments. 'If they get bounced more than once or twice *they give up." Anthropology Prof. Gloria Mar- shall agrees that the University's services are seriously , lacking. Noting that her contact is pri- marily with graduate students, she claims, that fellowship sup- port is "far too low to keep peo- ple living under hard financial con ditions." Equally important, Marshall says, is the disappointment many black students face with the Uni- versity environment. "Black have been lured to the University believing that a vig-. orous effort. is being made to neet their needs, only to find that nothing has changed aca- demically, neither faculty make- up nor course orientation." Will fail to fulfill primary BAM strike demand Marshall feels that a number of important black faculty mem- bers have left in the past three years. Also somewhat critical of the program is Prof. Harold Cruse, director of the Afro-American Center. "I don't think a whole hearted effort was put into re- cruitment to even approach the 10 per cent goal," he comments. In defense of the program, Goodman cites the decline of the applicant pool as the University See 'U', Page 8 NATIONWIDE EFFORT Boycott bucks shopping rush Moderate effects feltlocally By REBECCA WARNER I The national meat boycott has had moderate effects lo- cally, according to most city grocery stores. Large chain supermarkets re- ported meat sales were down, - es- pecially at the beginning of this week, but many claimed buying rose again Thursday and yester- day, bringing sales close to normal levels. Meat sales at campus food stores patronized mainly by students dropped drastically, but' most of' these stores handle low volumes of meat, chiefly in packaged form. Two central campus co-ops, Michigan House and Vail, boy-' cotted meat all week. Both houses reported the action had been suc- cessful, although a Michigan House resident remarked, "There was some grousing about the food." Steward Jody Bisdee said morale at Vail has been high and estimat- ed-the house has saved up to $100 in food costs. "We've had some of the best meals we've had all year just because of the effort," one Vail resident commented.

But although sales of beef and pork were off substan- tially in many cities, most prices remained the same during the first six days of the boycott.

Boycott leaders planned to meet in Washington next Wednesday to decide whether to continue the pro- test. Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal (D- N.Y.) who called the meeting, said the boycott "has been incredibly successful in terms of numbers participating" but had not suc- ceeded in its major objectives of rolling back meat prices substan- tially. Two Eastern Seaboard food chains, Grand Union supermarkets and the Big G Discount Food Stores, yielded to pressures and cut prices on many of their meat items. A Grand Union official said "traffic andsales seem to be a little better than normal" yester- day. The nationwide chain-the 10th largest in the country with about 500 stores on the East Coast-said it would sell beef; pork, lamb and veal at least 10 cents per pound below the price ceiling imposed last week by President Nixon.

The ships and barges, loaded with ammunition, petroleum and food, were assembled on the river just inside South Vietnam and were to begin the 60-mile voyage to the embattled capital this morning. Military sources said U.S. Air Force B52 Stratofortresses and Fill fighter jets bombed suspected Communist gun emplacements and troop concentrations along the banks of the river from the town of Bankrom, 16 miles southeast of Phnoi Penh, to the Vietnamese frontier. It was the 30th consecutive day of, intensifieed American bombing in Cambodia.
