But if you're still alive and mildly curious, you'll be pleased to know the all-new Trotter House is opening its doors today to black students interested in checking the place out. The new house, located at 1443 Washtenaw, will serve as a center for black social and cultural activities. It will also house satellite offices of various black interest groups on campus. T. R. Harrison, director of the house, says he's expecting lots of people to show up, so don't disappoint him. Proposals poll Abortion reform seems doomed in the state, at least if you care to trust the Detroit New;. A News poll yesterday shows 54 per cent of those questioned against Proposal B, 42 per cent in favor, and four per cent undecided. Other things the state's populace are expected to vote against include both tax proposals, C and D on your ballot. This would do away with the property tax as the main funding for public education, but would refuse to lift a state ban on graduated income taxes. The closest race appears to be the one on when to set your watches, as the News reports 52 per cent in favor, of joining the rest of the country with Daylight Savings Time and 45 per cent opposed, with three per cent undecided. 'Stop the voting'?! Two more people have drowned in the wake of the Watergate affair. Richard Levy and Ann Reynis, both grad students, lost a bid in court yesterday to have the presidential election here halted until details of the Watergate affair are aired and charges against the Republicans settled. The two claim they "couldn't make an itelligent vote" Tuesday without further knowledge. Even before U.S. District Judge Cornelia Kennedy denied the attempt, the two said they wouldn't "bet a buck" on their chances. Reynis and Levy are now looking for free legal help to continue the case. "Just think if we did win," said Levy. "After all, politics and the ridiculous do go together." Happenings... ... A coalition of political groups is sponoring a peace rally in Detroit, starting at 1 p.m. at Kennedy Square. The idea is to support the Provisional Revolutionary Government's 16-month-old seven point peace plan, which calls for the United States to set a date for total withdrawal and end its support of the Thieu gpv- ernment. Demonstrators plan to hold protests at the Federal Bldg., the Free Press and the Detroit News. They say the two papers have "ignored" the peace plan. . . .

ROCHESTER-George Washington Papoon, the National Surrealist Light People's Party presidential candidate, made an impressive campaign stop at the Rochester Institute of Tech- nology yesterday, reports our woman in New York. Papoon, wearing a pink carnation in his buttonhole, told the crowd "I stand for honesty and integrity." He also said he favors a ten per cent cut in all politician's salaries but the President's and imprisonment for all children. "I say today's child is tomorrow's thief. Lock them up before they steal." Papoon's platform also includes a return to the horse and buggy and the U.S. leaving Vietnam immediately and going "north, south, east, and west." McGovern on Nixon peace CHICAGO-Candidate .George McGovern charged last night that President Nixon's peace promise is a trick to get votes in next Tuesday's election. In his toughest speech of the campaign, McGovern told a nationwide television audience that Nixon has "created an illusion of peace" and deceived the American people. McGovern accused Nixon of "a cool political deception during the period of negotiations with North Vietnam during the past several weeks. McGovern admitted that the language he was using was blunt, but he said'he did not really care whether the blunt words woud help him or hurt him in the election-since he said his main goal is getting a peace in South Vietnam now.

The weather picture You can get an excellent forecast from yesterday's j today, because today's report is for more of the same- overcast skies with a 20 per cent chance of rain and winds from the southeast at about 7 mph. Tomorrow's weather can best be typified as "continued cruddy." Con gress: Will By EUGENE ROBINSON Daily News Analysis One of the biggest questions to be resolv- ed on Election Day will be the composition of Congress. Richard Nixon has long com- plained about the lack of cooperation he has gotten from the current Democrat- controlled legislature. With a GOP majority he feels he can push through "meaningful legislation." But even though a Nixon victory is ex- pected, few observers predict that the Re-+ publicans will gain a Congressional ma- jority. The Republicans, however, have made close battles out of a number of Southern races. If the GOP can win most of these contests, the battle for partisan control of the House and Senate could be a close 7 one. The net result of a Republican majority in Congress, however, is likely to reflect little if any change in the actual voting makeup of the legislature. Most of the hotly-contested Southern seats are now controlled by Dixiecrats, whose votes generally coincide with the wishes of the Nixon Administration al- ready. Such a majority would be of marginal assistance to Nixon at best. More likely, the ouster of several Southern "senior mem- bers" of Congress would essentially mean a realignment in Senate and House com- mittee structure. If the GOP won a Congressional ma- jority and committees were revamped to include more Republicans, the effect on Nixon might in fact be damaging. Instead of having conservative Democrats whose Dems Il votes he could count on, Nixon would be faced with a new committee structure, .headed primarily by the more senior, and more liberal, Northern Republicans. Nixon does not want to lose his influence on Congressional committees. To assure that he keeps it, the administration has been taking quiet steps to aid the re- election of some Southern Dems. For example, Nixon has been tactily sup- porting the campaign of Mississippi Sen. James Eastland. Eastland, a Democrat, serves as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee - a position in which he gave support to all of Nixon's Supreme Court nominees and backed Nixon in the Interna- tional Telephone and Telegraph antitrust case. Nixon himself seems to assign little im- See WILL, Page 7 ose control? President Nixon Sen.

Included in the initial returns are University Housing Council, Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIR- GIM), Board for Publications, and Rackham election results along with results of most referenda. First page ballots re- sults have been delayed by the new computer complications. The problem which caused all the ballots to be rejected by the North Campus computers, will be corrected when the programmer checks the system sometime today.

The code was adopt- ed by the Ann Arbor Board of Education Wednesday. Heidi Lucken, a group spokes- person, said they were striking because "the policy was set up unfairly." The code outlines what the board considers infractions of school reg- ulations and punitive actions that should be taken against offenders. The policy is aimed at eliminat- ing the violence, theft and dis- ruptive school atmosphere that has plagued the Ann Arbor school sys- tem in past years, according to the board. The students, however, feel the policy is repressive and was un- fairly devised, since students werej not consulted in the actual writing of the document. Leonard Sklar, one of the strike leaders, called the policy "just an all-out punitive attempt to keep everyone in line." He demanded that the present policy be rejected and a new one drawn up by a board composed of 50 per cent students, 25 per cent faculty and administrators and 25' per cent community residents.

The proposed peace agreement, negotiated but still unsigned by Washington and Hanoi, calls for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Vietnam within 60 days of cease- fire. There is no known provision regarding U.S. civilians. The scope of the program isn't k n o w n, but informants said the framework would be similar to that in Laos, where the United States has been fighting a so-called secret war for 10 years while barred from overt military participation by the 1962 Geneva agreements. U.S. military sources said the advisers would be employed by civilian firms under contract either to the U.S. defense or state depart- ments. They would be on the order of Air America, the charter air- line that the U.S. Central Intelli- gence Agency finances in Laos.

The first good example of this, new strategy came last spring with the Renner-managed city council' campaign of Tom Burnham. Burnham was buried in the HRP landslide, but Renner emerged as' the GOP's fresh young face for the state representative contest. With the strong support of the! local establishment and a $4,000I bankroll from the state party, Renner proceeded the same way he had with Burnham, only better. His campaign has been low key, his emphasis on safe issues such as imnroving the environment. re- By RALPH VARTABEDIAN Integrity-responsibility-experience.
