FEATURE PROMPTLY AT 1-3-5:05-7:05-9:10 (No Short Subjects) IN THE LIFE AND TIMES OF STACY KEACHN BRUNO (Original Bad Bob) (The Watch Bear) By JEFF HIRSH "Hi, would you like to contri- bute to . .?" has to be both one of the most often heard and most feared phrases in Ann Arbor. It seems there's always some worthy - or semi-worthy cause, braving snow, rain, wind, and our city's overabundance of promiscous dogs, intent on filling buckets with silver. After parting with what coin you have, the realization then hits you that you'll now have to break a bill for that package of Life Savers, the newspaper, or a parking meter. How can this drain on your resources be avoided? Option Number 1 is the "Give a very little, but make them think you're generous, while you even make your conscience feel good that you gave" trick. The best way to do this is to build up a supply of pennies, and have them ready in your pocket each time you venture out. Upon spotting a bucketeer in the distance, deftly reach into the pocket and come up with four of the Lincolns. Just when you are hit with "Hi, would you . .," cut into mid-sentence with a loud "Sure would!" and drop the four pennies into the bucket. Be sure to say it loud enough and smile directly at the bearer so as to get his attention. This way, the four pennies will make an im- pressive jingle as they hit, he'll think you're a sport, and you aren'tout much. Three pennies can be an ac- ceptable substitute, but just don't hit with the resonance th.t four do. Besides, four is less than a nickel, which is what you'd prob- ably give if there were no avail- able pennies. The problem with nickels, however, is that one is never sure if it's a quarter or not when fumbling in one's pockets. Therefore, if you must give, always carry pennies in multiples of four, and practice your smiles. If, however, in this period of rising prices, evenfour cents is a drain on your vast financial empire, or you fear inadvertently tossing out a 1943 copper penny, evasive tactics are the only an- swer. As the bucketeers are al- ways in the most well travelled and at the same time unavoid- able places, this is not easy. One particularly bad spot is the bridge over Forest leading to the Hill dorms. Perched near one of the cement blocks, there's no way to get around him/her unless a quick turn down to street level is made. Rumor has it that the bucket brigade even use to station rookie bucketeers down there to dissuade such ma- neuvers up 'til about six years ago, when it was alleged that someone from the computer cen- ter dashed straight into the path of a bus while trying to avoid the pail-bearer. Public outcry was supposedly the reason for remov- ing this soliciting location, but further research is necessary to determine if any other variables tv. tonight 6:00 2 4 7 News 9 Courtship of Eddie's Father 50 Flintstones 6 Operation Second Chance 6:30 2 CBS News 4 NBC News 7 ABC News 9 I Dream of Jeannie 5OGilligan's Island 56 German Program 6:45 56 German Travelogue 7:00 2 Truth or Consequences 4 News 7*To Tell the Truth 9 Beverly Hillbillies 50 I Love Lucy 7:30 2 What's My Line? 4 Festival of Family Classics 7 Wild Kingdom 9 Irish Rovers were at work. At any rate, Option Number 2 is called "Get in With a Crowd." Especially popular between ten of and ten after the hour, this entails joining in with a large walking mass and edging towards the outside as a bucketeer is approached. Unfortunately, as everyone has the same idea, it is often a struggle. The jostling of bodies which is sometimes ascribed to the fierce winds un- der the P&A building and the Grad Library is actually a ma- neuvering for the best position to avoid a fund solicitation in front of the UGLI. Option Number 3 is fra'ight with psychological trauma, and is recommended only for thrse with strong self-control, such as Young Republicans or former members of the Weathefman fac- tion. It is known affectionately as the "Lie" and goes as follows: "Hi, would you like to con- tribute to . . .?" "7 already have." The loudness with which the response is given is in direct proportion to how troubled the 50 Hogan's Heroes 56 Consumer Game 8:00 2 Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour 4 Adam-12 7 Movie "Notorious" 1946 9 To The Wild Country 50 Dragnet 56 America '73 8:30 4 Hall of Fame 50 Merv Griffin 9:00 2 Medical Center 9 News 56 Ask the Lawyers 9:30 9 Who Owns the Sea 56 Inner-City Freeway 10:00 2 Cannon 4 Love and.

A murmur swallowed into a tightly wrapped scarf indicates deep concern with the wrongs of society, even if little is done to correct them, while a confident bellow indicates a rosy future with most najor corporations. A thrifty fellow passes this one on concerning Option Number 4, the "Super Cheap." A fourth year medical student has saved his Galens tag, which he pur- chased as an unsuspecting under- graduate freshman for five cents, and breaks it out every year at the appropriate time. This has saved him a small fortune in the intervening years as he watched his tuition skyrocket, not to mention letting him skip merrily by the red-coated bucket brigade without any questions. There is one final option, sug- gested only for those with a ter- minal disease or so totally fed up with being pinched for funds that he can tolerate it no longer. That is to stride confidently up to a bucketeer, and before he can say anything, look him square in the eye and go "Hi, got any spare change?" 12:00 9 Movie "The Shop on Main Street" (1965) 1:00 4 7 News 1:45 2 Movie "The Helbenders" (1966) 3:15 2 TV High School 3:45 2 News cable tv channel 3 3:30 Pixanne 4:00 Today's Woman "Pelleas and Melisande" 4:30 Something Else 5:00 Stratosphere Playhouse "King of the Rocketmen" 5:30 Local News 6:00 Consumer Forum - Diane Place, head of the Food and Drug Administration in De- troit discusses toy safety. 6:30 NCAA Super Sports 7:00 Community Dialogue - Three City Council members discuss Monday's council meeting. wcbn 89.5 fm Doily Photo by DAVID MARGOLICK Here's how!

Epstein guessed within 3,000 cartons the total consumption of yogurt at the University of Texas at El Paso, New Mexico Highlands College, George Washington University, Antioch College, and Black Hills State College-a mind-boggling total of 194,671 servings.

Auditorium east university/ronroe tickets on sale at stanger's and at the door By GRETA WIEDER A funny thing is happening on the way through Angell Hall - there's a play going on in the foyer. And it's in Latin. The Seligson Plautus Players perform Plautus' Mostellaria at 2:30. Mostellaria, or the Haunt- ed House, is the story of a clever slave who outwits his master. The earliest form of Roman com- edy, it serves as the prototype for the modern day A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The Seligson Plautus Players are all members of Latin 422. They have been studying a n d rehearsing this play all term, and the production of it is the central class project. Their director is Mrs. Gerda Seligson, head of the elementary Latin division of the Classical Studies Department. Mrs. Selig- son conceived of the Plautus players sixe years ago and has directed a show yearly since. The cast swears that anyone will be able to understand t h e play. They have infused much English into it and claim that slap-stick comedy translates into any language.- Their production is f u ll of pushing, shoving, an d head-banging. Professor Orsamus Pearl, in a "guest" performance, portrays the villian money-lender. He also presents a prologue which he rendered into English. The Latin proficiencies of the students range from some to i ARTS quite a lot. Even though it is not easy to learn lines in Latin, at least "No one will know if we make a mistake," as cast mem- ber Sue Davis says. Why the foyer of Angell Hall? It's the most Roman looking structure on campus except for Rackham. However, although it may be big on authenticity, it's poor on acoustics: actors battle a resounding echo. 'I S the meantime, actors 1 e a a against the pillars and ford their ways deftly among the foyer steps. Student-composed music ac- companies the performances. All the costumes are student-made. Cast members hope to recoup the $70 they spent for this purpose through the 15-cent donations they are asking at the door.
