RAP says what?
In the final days of the SGC campaign, the conservative
Respofisible Alternative Party has been circulating a leaflet
proclaiming its support for the candidacy of George McGovern.
It all comes as somewhat of a surprise considering that one
RAP SGC candidate works 'actively for the ultra-conservative
Libertarian Party while other prominent party members sup-
port the American Independent Party's nominee. Leading cam-
pus conservative and RAP mogul Bill Thee claims the leaflet
represents the opinion of the majority of the party's candidates.
Free money
The Ann Arbor Bank is giving away money. No kidding,
crisp new greenbacks. The idea behind the scheme is to demon-
strate the new cash dispensing machine at their Liberty St.
branch. Today obviously decided to investigate, so one of our
intrepid legmen legged it over to Liberty to help himself to
some free cash. The, man in line in front pushed the button and
out popped a dollar bill. Now for the bad news. When it came
to our man's turn, the machine simply flashed the sign: "Please
do not use. Machine temporarily out of order." Them's the
breaks.
Arson at Huron
The band played on as the school burned down yesterday
when an arsonist's tricks forced the evacuation of Ann Arbor's
Huron High School. Alice Cooper would have giggled, and
most of the students seemed amused as a half dozen fire trucks
careened to the ultra-modern 1,500 student school building on the
Northeast side shortly after noon to extinguish a blaze in the
auditorium. Police said they suspected arson. The school's march-
ing band played on at a nearby athletic field as firemen fought I
the blaze. No estimate of damage was available.
An apology
Well, we really blew it. We're sorry and we'll try not to do
it again. We are refering to two recent Today items describing
the cancellation by "person unknown" of an HRP campaign
ad in The Daily.
In fact nobody tried to cancel any HRP ad. What happened
was that a woman from the University Democratic Caucus
came in to cancel an anti-HRP ad. The Daily business staff
misunderstood, and thought she was illictly puling an ad for

U.S. decreases B-52

By The Associated Press and Reuters
While hope for a quick settlement in Indochina faded
yesterday, the battle pace quickened on several fronts.
North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao troops launched a
general offensive in Northern Laos to cut links between
Vientiane and the royal capital of Luang Prabang.
North Vietnamese troops supported by tanks concen-
trated near Muong Suoi (about 100 miles northwest of Vien-
tiane), were ready to launch an offensive in the direction
of Slap Houkhoun in order to cut liaison between Vientiane
and Laung Prabang according to a Laotian army spokes-
person.

Explaining that he "feared his

Government Council (SGC) Presi-

meeting before the Credentials and
Rules Committee (C&R) last night
to answer charges that he had vio-
lated the all-campus election code.
The hearing was called in re-
sponse to a suit filed yesterday by
Responsible Alternative P a r t y
(RAP) president Howard Victor
charging Jacobs with tearing
down RAP campaign posters.
During the hearing, Jacobs de-
nied the charges andsmaintained
that "It makes no sense to rip
down-two or three RAP posters."
He added, "Every window in the

'U' bus drivers stoned
Some idiot has been getting his rocks off lately by throwing
stones at University commuter buses. At least three rock-throw-
ing incidents have been reported to police and University secur-
ity so far, and in each case the rocks appear to have been
aimed at the drivers. So far nobody has been hurt seriously,
though one driver was slightly cut by flying glass. The rock-
throwing is occurring near the Northwood Five apartments
on North Campus, and has taken place late at night.

Pound dead at 87
Ezra Pound, praised for his esoteric verse and condemned
for his "fascist leanings," died yesterday ,in a Venice Hospital.
He was 87. Pound, who had broadcast, propaganda for Musso-
lini during the second World War, was one of the world's most
enigmatic and influential writers. T. S. Eliot once described
him as the "greatest craftsman." Most known for his "Cantos,"
an 800-page series of poems covering the thoughts of man from
the age of Confuscious to the modern day, Pound was also re-
nowned for his translations from Chinese and his influence on
writers such as Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce and Robert
Frost.

who changed his name from Christopher Lawrence, is unemploy-

He will oppose the sitting Labor Party member for Palmerston,

Nixon
By the AP and Reuters
WASHINGTON - President
Nixon's campaign finance com-
mittee yesterday agreed in an
out-of-court settlement to disclose
the identity of campaign con-
tributors who made donations
before last March 10.
The consent decree agreed to
by attorneys in the case and
signed by U.S. District Court
Judge Joseph Waddy does not
cover still unreported contribu-
tions given between March 10
and April 7, when the new cam-
paign contribution reporting law
went into effect.
The order was issued in a suit
br'ought by Common Cause, a
self-styled citizen's lobby, which
is seeking disclosure of all Nixon
campaign contributions.
A spokesperson for Common
Cause said the order means
about $6 million in previously un-
disclosed funds would be account-
ed for. Another $10 million do-
nated between March 10 and
April will remain secret, accord-
ing to the spokesperson.
Litigation aimed at forcing dis-
closure of the source of the rest
of the money will continue, but it
is not likely to come to trial be-
fore next Tuesday's presidential
election.
The decree does not require
disclosure of expenditures, but
only contributions.
The dispute centered over con-
tributions funneled into the Nixon
campaign prior to April 7, the

representative Susan Newell.
The race's unusual composition
-an elderly black conservative
woman facing young white liberal
and radical women - makes itj
one of the most interesting of this
election.
Created only this past spring,
the 14th district closely parallels
the city's First Ward. It encom-
passes a large number of student
areas including the Hill dormitor-
ies as well as major parts of the
black community.
Despite the fact that the board
of commissioners controls t h eI
purse-strings for all of Washtenaw
County, or some 22 million dol-
lars, the commissioner's races
have in the past attracted little
student attention.
With the creation of the pre-
dominantly student 14th and 15th
j district, however, campaigning for
commissioner seats has for the
first time beens directed at stu-
1dents.
Newell, a University graduate,
is a low key but articulate cam-
paigner. The major thrusts of her
campaign are support for the ra-
dical HRP platform and the fact
that she is bound totheparty's
collective decision making process.
While realizing that radical
change may be impossible at the
present time, Newell favors in the
meantime, drastic reordering of
