Daily endorsed Burghardt
Despite pamphleteering implying the contrary, The Daily has
in fact, endorsed HRP candidate Steve Burghardt for state
representative. Democratic candidate Perry Bullard's supporters
yesterday circulated a leaflet carrying an article on Bullard
by a Daily staff writer transposed under The Daily masthead.
The pamphlet deleted a disclaimer which had originally ap-
peared with the article, explaining that The Daily staff had
endorsed Burghardt. A condensed version of that editorial ap-
pears with the other Daily endorsements on today's Editorial
Page. Bullard media man Gene Farber disagreed that the
leaflet was misleading but agreed to cease distribution at The
Daily's request.
George's Grand Gourmet' wins
Though Gallup, Harris and Yankelovich offer little hope for
George McGovern in today's election, all may still be peaches
and ice cream for the South Dakotan, at least according to one
poll. The Miller's Ice Cream "Soda Straw Vote," conducted
over the last month, shows "George's Grand Gourmet" sundae
topping "Dick's Double-Dip Delight," 1,291-393, or a hefty 76
per cent of the vote. The accuracy of the poll is debatable, how-
ever, owing to the fudge factor.
If you forgot ...
If you forgot to change your voter registration address when
you changed apartments over the summer, never fear, you can
still vote in this election. Vote according to your old address,
but since precinct boundaries and polling places have been
shuffled since the April election, call the City Clerk's office,
761-2400, if you have questions. Note: His phone will probably
be pretty busy today but the League of Women Voters and any
of the party headquarters will be more than willing to help you
figure out your predicament.
Green case
The controversial case of Prof. Mark Green's suspension
will be thrown into the lap of the chemistry faculty today. The
departmental cormittee reviewing the case will submit its
recommendations to that body in a 20-page report. The chemistry
faculty will then meet tonight at 7:30 to either reject or accept
the recommendations. The committee was to have released its
report yesterday but Prof. Peter Smith, member, said that "the
mechanics of getting it typed, duplicated, and revised" held it up.

is considering running for the seat if her husband is not found
alive and a special election is held next year. Boggs has no
opposition in his congressional district in New Orleans. Begich
is expected to keep his district in Alaska, where he faces a
Republican opponent, State Senator Don Young.

By DAVE BURHENN .
District Court Judges San-
dorf Elden and Pieter Thom-
assen yesterday dismissed
charges of malicious destruc-
tion of property against per-
sons accused of digging bomb
craters on the Diag last sum-
mer.
The craters were dug during May
and JT'me as a protest of the
stepped ip air raids over North
Vietnam.
The dismissal came one day be-
fore the general election, an elec-
tion in which Elden is running for
a Circuit Court seat.
Elden and Thomassen were to
announce the dismissal of the
charges last Monday, but the death
of former Circuit Court Judge
John Conlin postponed the matter
a week.
Local attorney Donald Koster,
one of the defense lawyers for the
craters diggers, compared the dis-
missal to an earlier ruling by
Elden which voided the city's $5
fine for marijuana.
"Once again I'm more impressed
with the political timing of Judge
Elden's decisions, than with his
judicial abilities."
Elden said the charges that his
and Thomassen's dismissal was
politically motivated were "the last
accusations that I ever expected
to hear"
1"They said my last decision (re-
ferring to the voiding of the pt
law) was politically inspired."
He said, "I'd either lose the
votes I gained on the last one or
lose the votes I gained on this
one," referring to both the pot law
and the bomb-crater decisions.
"I guess the best thing to do,"
Elden added, "is to fold your
burnoose and not make any de-
cisions 90 days before the elec-
tions."
The judges' opinion concluded
that provisions of the statute un-
der which the defendants were
charged did not cover the offense
allegedly committed.
Specifically, under the malicious
destruction of property law, de-
fendants are charged with the
damaging of a structure or its ap-
purtenances.
An appurtenance is something
that is connected to or necessary to
the use and enjoyment of some-
thing else.
The prosecution claimed that the
sod and soil of the Diag was an
appurtenance to University build-
ings. The defense disagreed, and
filed a motion to dismiss the
charges.
In accepting the defense motion,
the judges wrote, -"the court finds
that the Diagonal of the University
of Michigan is in fact part of the
University in and of itself . .."-
and therefore not appurtenant to
University structures.

Banks said the prime topic of
discussion was the firing of Loesch.
If the White House gives assurance
that Loesch will be dismissed,
Banks said, the Indians will evacu-
ate the building and then other
points will be discussed with thet
government.
Earlier yesterday, a three-judge
panel of the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals stayed until 9 p.m. tomorrow,
a lower-court order that the In-
dians vacate the building, located
on Constitution avenue near the
Lincoln Memorial.
A justice department spokesman
said that"the appeals court deci-
sion barred the government from
forcibly evicting the Indians while'
~the stay is in effect.
{rDistrict Judge JohnPratt had
ordered earlier in the day the
arrest of the Indians and had di-
rected the government to give
them notice of the order by 6 p.m.
EST yesterday. Pratt orally gave
the government limited discretion
as to the actual time for the
arrests.
