A latter day Nero
Taking a page from the book of Roman Emperor Nero, LSA
Dean Frank Rhodes has been fiddling while the chemistry depart-
ment burns. When a reporter called the dapper British-born Dean
last night for his comment on the suspension of Prof. Mark
Green, they were told that he was unavailable for comment as
he was, "taking his cello lesson." Rhodes was later reached, at
the conclusion of his classical interlude.
Dope note
City Attorney Jerry Lax said yesterday that he will go
before district judge Sandorf Elden October 17 to argue for a
reversal of Elden's ruling striking down the city's $5 pot fine.
Legal pundits think it unlikely, however, that Elden will reverse
his own ruling, and thus the appeal process might become a
protracted one, possibly lasting for years.
Good grammar
. . or good politics was the question nobody could quite
fathom yesterday lunchtime at the Democrat's weekly lunchbox
forum. Featured speaker Marvin Stempien, candidate for the
local congressional seat, astounded intellectuals and amused
reporters when he commented, in response to a question on
federal aid to education: "I and my opponent are diabolically
opposed on this issue." Right on, Marv.
Another goof
We got it rong yesterday when we reported that City
Council had passed an ordinance barring topless dancing, and
indeed, all dancing, from bars in Ann Arbor. What the council
did do was pass a regulation providing for review of liquor
licenses when the bar proprietor puts on shows that lower
property values. The intent of the ordinance was to ban topless
dancing, it just didn't quite come out and say so.

One of the most tedious murder trials in recent Ann Arbor

ment.

on school desegregation in the Detroit area was rejected
unanimously yesterday by the Supreme Court.
The justices gave no reason for declining to consider the
dispute. The U.S. Circuit Court in Cincinnati still has the
situation under review.
U.S. District Judge Stephen Roth of Detroit has ruled
that the city school system and state officials were guilty of
using the power of law to maintain segregated schools. He
directed preparation of what would be the nation's largest
desegregation plan, involving the Detroit and 52 suburban
school districts.

CHICAGO A' - Democrat
George McGovern said last
night that as President he
-would "forget about saving
face," command an end to
U.S. involvement in the Viet-
nam war and send his vice
president to Hanoi to speed
the return of American pris-
oners.
McGovern said, in a nationally-
televised address, the difference
between President Nixon's policy
and his is fundamental:
"It is a choice, after all, be-
tween saving face or saving lives,
It is a choice between four more
years of war, or four years of
peace."
His plan would involve ending
the U.S. bombing, military opera-
? tions and aid, and withdrawing all
A American forces within 90 days
after he takes office.
McGovern added last night the
ndi- pledge to send Sargent Shriver as
vice president to Hanoi "to speed
the arrangements for the return of
our prisoners and an accounting of
the missing."
The speech was taped in Wash-
ington Sunday and aired on CBS
and various other stations while
McGovern was campaigning in Chi-
cago.
"Immediately after taking my
oath as President," he said, "if the
war has not ended by then, I
would issue a national security di-
rective to the secretarytof defense,
to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and to

have asked the President to desig-
