Vol. LXXXIII, No 21 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, September 30, 1972 Ten Cents Ten Pages today.. Men better than women Men are better cleaners than women, or at least that is what the Barfield Cleaning Company thinks. In a bulletin board announcement in the temporary employment office at the SAB, Barfield offers $2.25 an hour for cleaningwomen and $2.95 an hour for cleaningmen. But despite the blatant sexual discrimination, the University did not think to ban the notice. "The men have much heavier work to do than the women do," explained Susan Craw, a spokesperson for the temporary empolyment office. Happenings .. . if football isn't your thing, there are a variety of other goings-on in and around town today, and perhaps the most bizzare is a genuine Old English Sheepdog contest, scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Farm Council grounds in Saline.

Pigs vs. Goats "Pigs" from all over the county will descend this Sunday at 7 p.m. on Pioneer High School's Holloway football field for a bit of the old ultra-violence. Their target is not the student body, but the "Goats" of the city police department, and the event is the fourth annual "Pig Bowl" football game. Admis- sion price is $2 or a toy of equal value. Proceeds will go towards giving the county's underprivileged youth Christmas presents. In the past games, the city police Goats have triumphed twice, the Pigs once. But this year the Goat are clearly worried. "We're kind of raggedy because we haven't had the preparation we had last year," said a Goat spokesanimal. "But we're goin' to keep 'em honest." Griffin backs out LANSING-U.S. Sen. Robert Griffin (R-Mich.) declined yes- terday to attend a noon Michigan Municipal League lunch where he and his Democratic opponent, Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley, were scheduled to speak. The function was planned as one of the rare meetings between the two, who have had running differences about whether to meet together in public debate. A Griffin spokesman in Detroit said the senator had to stay in Washingto'n .for an expected key vote on a consumer protection bill. Kelley, meanwhile, charged Griffin with "running away from debating me" and "taking special pains not to be put in a position where I can confront him under any circumstances." Esch enjoined DETROIT-Wayne County Circuit Judge James Ryan yester- day issued a permanent injunction forbidding U.S. Rep. Marvin Esch from representing himself to voters as the incumbent Livonia congressman. The judge acted on a complaint by Esch's opponent, State House Majority Leader Marvin Stempien, that Esch was claiming he had represented Livonia as well as Ann Arbor in Congress. Livonia only became part of the Second Congressional District this year after a redrawing of district boundaries.

Mitchell as spy WASHINGTON-The Washington Post reported yesterday that John Mitchell, while attorney general, controlled a Republican fund reserved for gathering intelligence about Democrats. The newspaper quoted "several reliable sources" as saying Mitchell personally approved withdrawals from the fund as early as the spring of 1971, almost a year before he resigned as Attorney General to head President Nixon's campaign committee. A spokesperson for the committee immediately denied the Post's charges, and Martha Mitchell said she couldn't imagine such a thing being true.

Both parties will undoubtedly await eagerly the results of the appeal which City Attorney Jer- old Lax said yesterday the city will probably seek. Council member Jerry'De Grieck (HRP-First Ward) condemned the decision for what he called its po- litical motivation. Elden is running for circuit judge in the Nov. 7 election. "Elden is desperately attempt- ing to win election to the circuit court and will apparently stop at nothing, including ignoring the well-being of the people of Ann Arbor, to gain cheap votes and publicity to further his own cause," he said. De Grieck said that "cities have often passed laws parallel to state laws with greater or lesser maximum penalties." He added that City Council always passes ordinances in which "unreasonable discretion" is removed from the courts. John Sinclair, head of -the Rain- bow People's Party, seconded De Grieck's feeling of outrage, call- ing the court decision "a bunch of hogwash." "If anyone has a responsibility for making laws, it's the legisla- ture," Sinclair said. "Every sen- tence is dictated by a legislature." "These reactionaries who think they still have power are acting up.

The "fighting drunk", an Arbor tradition, poses another problem for the men. "They're either getting bombed to celebrate the victory or getting bombed to drown the loss," according to Hill. * . ..
