VoL LXXXI1I, No. 46 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, October 29, 1972 Ten Cents Ten Pages today... if you see news happen call 76-DAILY Sheriff notes Undersheriff Harold Owings, the Republican candidate for sheriff, announced this week he would appoint the city's Deputy Police Chief Harold Olsen as his undersheriff if he is elected. Olsen refused to comment on the news, citing a departmental policy barring political statements by police officers. A clarification In a story yesterday concerning the secrecy of the SGC election ballots, The Daily mistakenly reported that SGC Presi- dent Bill Jacobs declined comment. Jacobs was actually unavail- able for comment and says, although he feels it is improper to give his views on the candidates, he is more than willing to comment on the validity of the election process itself. Jacobs denies charges in The Daily b Jay Hack that it would take a computer 10 or 15 minutes to make a list of which students voted for whom. Anyway, he claims, such a list would only be compiled if a Credentials and Rules Committee ordered it in a case alleging fraud. He maintains that the new system is the method used in every election in the country involving paper ballots. Brinkerhoff's homecoming Former University Director of Business Operations James Brinkerhoff returned to the University yesterday for the Home- coming game against Minnesota, but he had problems deter- mining who to cheer for. Brinkerhoff, who is now the vice presi- dent for finance at Minnesota University, said he just sat in his seat and watched quietly.

FBI reform The FBI, which never before had acknowledged that it main- tained files on Congress members and candidates, now says that it has been doing so for 22 years but stopped the practice this week. "Such a program is not essential to FBI operations," said Acting Director Patrick Gray III as he ordered 'an end to it. Gray said that, although the agency had maintained files of biographical data on congressional members and candidates, it had not conducted full-fledged investigations of them. Dems, poll problems Newsweek magazine says a special Gallup poll conducted for the magazine shows Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern trailing President Nixon in six big industrial states by margins ranging from 16 per cent in California to 29 per cent in Ohio. The magazine noted that the door-to-door surveys of about 400 persons in each of the six states were done too early to take into account "the explosive X factor in the equation: the impact of the week's progress toward peace in Vjetnam." The Oct. 20-22 survey gave Nixon a 17-point lead over McGovern 'in New York, 56 to 39; 19 points in Pennsylvania, 57 to 38; 25 points in Michigan, 59 to 34 and 24 points in Illinois, 60 to 36. Communists hold; t] near SAIGON (A'-North Viet- namese occupied 12 hamlets around Saigon in a land-grab offensive yesterday while both sides jockeyed for diplomatic advantage on the negotiating front for a cease-fire. S o u t h Vietnamese military spokesman and field reports said communist units had infiltrated 12 hamlets in five provinces around Saigon-Binh Duong to thesnorth, Bien Hoa to the northeast, Long Khan to east, Phuoc Tuy to the southeast and Hau Nghia to the west. Scores of small firefights erupted around the capital as government militiamen tried to evict the in- vaders. Highways 1 and 13 and several secondary roads were cut by enemy ambush squads while shelling attacks pounded South Vietnamese military positions and civilian population centers. Saboteurs also blew up two bridges on Highway 1 south of Da Nang following a 26-round rocket barrage aimed at the northern port city early yesterday. In Saigon, President Nguyen Van Thieu again conferred with U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker to resolve differences on a Washing- ton-Hanoi peace draft. He also dispatched three top diplomats on an 11-nation tour to explain South Vietnam's position to Asian neigh- bors.

Thien SAGINAW STOP: Nixon campaig~ns signs environment an ara bills SAGINAW (A)-President Nixon zig-zagged through Ohio and Mich- igan yesterday, campaigning on pocketbook issues and declaring he will never grant amnesty to Viet- nam draft evaders because "they are going to have to pay a penalty for what they did." Nixon also signed a number of bills dealing with environmental and consumer issues before he took off campaigning. Pausing during a four-hour mo- torcade through a dozen northern Ohio cities, Nixon also reported "very significant progress" in Vietnam peace talks and predicted they "will come out all right." He hit on the law-and-order, theme saying at one stop, "it GOP Whip Robert Griffin in a' for items ranging from lawn mow- seir're of power, Thieu said. makes my blood boil" to see tight race where forced busing is ers to kitchen ranges.

At none of the stops during his strenuous eight hours of campaign- ing did Nixon mention by name his Democratic opponent, George McGovern. Nixon, before his campaign stops in Ohio and Michigan, announced the signing of a variety of bills, many of them environmental and consumer interests measures. One of the new laws would create an independent Consumer Product Safety Commission to de- velop and enforce safety standards issues in the SGC campaign Report on local Democratic canvassing By CINDY HILL Daily News Analysis Ignoring the inter-party fights and charges that fill campus po- litical campaigns, one fact re- mains unstated yet seems clear: What this week's Student Gov- ernment Council (SGC) election really needs is an issue or two. The five parties represented in this election dwell on issues run- ning the gamut from the alleged "U CellarMess," which no one seems to fully understand or be- lieve exists, to the establishment of a SGC grocery co-op, on which all the candidates agree. . Accusations concerning the cor- ruption and ineptitude of the op- posing parties fill the gaps left by the lack of pressing student issues, further confusing a con- stituency already lost in a vast forest of party politics. Most vehement in criticizing the present SGC administration are the Responsible Alternative Party (RAP), candidates from the traditionally most conserva- tive campus party, 'and the can- didates of the new Community Coalition (CC), the most left- wing of the parties. Both cite alleged misuse of funds and the "corruption" of the SGC administration in terms of maintaining "two lame-duck non-students" on the Council. The Integrity Party has blamed RAP members for the shortcom- ings of the present Council, using "Throw the RAPscals out" as usually differing from each other in their emphasis of an issue, rather than their stand on the issue itself. The Integrity platform, more than the others, provides a wider range of issues, although in less detail than other parties. Most notably, it supports great- er student parity and participa- tion on "every academic and University decision - making body." The' Coalition of Liberals and" Moderate Party (CLAMP), like Integrity, also presents a wide range of positions, but candidates stress their deferred student tui- tion plan and increased financial aid to students as their primary goal. They also support the abolition of "unnecessary" language re- quirements and other restrictions on students" study programs. . The Community Coalition has suggested the most detailed plan for SGC action by concentrating their efforts exclusively in a few broad categories. Community Coalition, drawing some members from the Tenants' Union, demands that the Univer- sity construct 1,000 apartment units with a maximum rent of $60 per month per person. It recommends the SGC's new legal advocate be used to estab- lish a pre-paid legal service co- operative to protect tenants. See FEW, Page 10 Massive last-ditch try By EUGENE ROBINSON With scarcely over a week remaining before the presidential election, candidate George McGovern's state forces are conducting a massive canvassing drive to pick up last-minute support. According to Owen Teicher, one of the Detroit-based organizers of the statewide canvass, McGovern workers have polled nearly 300,000 homes in the state-about 100,000 of them in the Detroit area. Teicher says he does not have specific figures on the voting sentiment indicated by the McGovern canvass. But he does reveal that the canvassers found up to 40 per cent of the voters interviewed in A close glaee atte doorknob By SUE TRETHAWAY You've just knocked on an un- familiar door in Monroe County.
