Strike fizzles
Student strikers at Huron High were disappointed yesterday,
when only about 40 people showed up for a protest against the
school district's new discipline policy. Leonard Sklar, a strike
organizer, said that low turnout was caused by student reluctance
to miss classes. Too many absences at the end of the term and
you flunk your courses, or so it seems. The strike was called to
protest a new discipline policy imposed by the Ann Arbor Board
of Education which, students say, does not protect student rights.
Radio ruckus
An argument between the University's student-run WCBN
radio station and Eastern Michigan University (EMU) may be
nearing solution. The problems stem from EMU's request that
WCBN move from 89.5 megahertz to 88.3 MHz so that EMU
could move its station, WEMU, to 89.1 and apply for greater
power and coverage. WCBN demurred, saying the new spot
would have too much interference with WCBN's airwaves. A
test of the 88.3 site got mixed results-WEMU thought it sounded
fine, WCBN disagreed. So now the University is proposing an-
other test, with judges from both institutions joined by an im-
partial observer. The results would be binding on the schools,
and the University has even offered to finance half the test.
Senior power
NEW ORLEANS-A group of elderly militants burned repli-
cas of their Social Security cards Monday as they marched in
protest of President Nixon's vetoes of old-age legislation. About
40 sign-carrying representatives of senior citizens' clubs in New
Orleans picketed the Nixon-Agnew headquarters to protest the
vetoing of the Older Americans Act and the HEW appropriations
bill. The marchers' signs read "Senior Power," "Oldies But
Goodies," and "Can You Afford to Grow Old." Nixon workers
came out to offer them coffee and folding chairs; but unfortun-
ately no social security benefits.
'Dear sir or ms.'
It's "Mr." or "Ms." now on application forms for the
Career Planning and Placement office, following a complaint by
the University's Commission for Women. The Commission said
that the designations of marital status and number of children
were potentially discriminating and had no relevance to the
actual qualifications needed for most positions. In the future,
students applying for positions with companies will check only
Mr. or Nis. and no information on number of children will be
sent to prospective employers.

sday and yesterday jubilant
ats and dejected HRP members
began going over the figures trying to
piece together exactly what happened.
Three recurring themes in the re-
hashes, recriminations, and instant
analyses of the last two days have been;
(1) the coat tails of George McGovern;
(2) a low level of voter awareness of
the local campaign, and
(3) the failure of the HRP campaign
to communicate successfully to the elec-
torate.
An immediate handicap for all HRP
candidates in the city was running under
the banner of a party which did not
support George McGovern.
Given the massive pro-McGovern sen-
timent on campus, HRP worked hard to
convince students to split their ticket.
fIRPsfu
Although some ticket-splitting did occur,
the vast majority of McGovern support-
ers stayed with the Democrats on the
local level.
Further, the excitement and intensity
of a national campaign distracted voter
interest from the local elections.
Many student voters didn't even know
which county commissioner district they
lived in before entering the voting booth,
and awareness of the issues and per-
sonalities in the state representative'
race was little higher.
Traditionally, a low level of interest
in a campaign favors established par-
ties and this seems to have been the case

Harvey fires deputy,
demotes two others
By DAVID STOLL
Heads are rolling in the sheriff's department, following
Sheriff Douglas Harvey's resounding defeat in Tuesday's
election.
One member of the department has been fired and two
demoted; four more are allegedly on a "chop list," reliable
sources report.
Joseph Valenti, president of the Teamsters Union unit
which is filing grievances and asking for binding arbitration
in the dispute, says that the firing and the demotions appear
to be politically motivated. All three supported Republican

Amnesty for hairdressers!
DETROIT-The Hungarian hair stylist who spent three
months in a Canadian prison for allegedly attacking Soviet
Premier Alexi Kosygin in Ottawa last year entered the United
States yesterday, hoping to be granted political asylum. Geza
Matrai, -28, told reporters he has been the subject of "political
and police persecution in Canada." He crossed the Windsor-
Detroit border without incident when he showed customs agents
his Canadian passport.'
Dope notes
Is the Catholic Church letting the grass grow under its feet?
In the cathedral square of Mar del Plata, Argentina, marijuana
j plants were discovered growing in. the flower beds. The police
think they've found the real culprits though; they've charged the
fifteen local youths (flower-children?) who run a nearby street
market . . . Meanwhile, undercover agents in Grahamstown,
South Africa report that drug pushers were peddling marijuana
cigarettes 91/2 inches long. That's two times better than Benson
and Hedges.
NOW asks investigation
The National Organization of Women (NOW) has demanded
a federal crackdown on topless and bottomless bars which it
says exploits female nudity to please men. Wilma Scott Heide,
NOW president, also demanded an investigation of organized
crime connections in massage parlors. She also charged that
some corporate executives write off their excursions as business
expenses, receiving tax deductions.
Never say die
WASHINGTON-Sen. George McGovern's hand-picked head of
the Democratic National Committee said yesterday she will
resist any efforts to oust her as head of the party that suffered
a landslide loss to President Nixon. "Jean Westwood is alive and
well and intends to remain on the job," she told a news conference
at party headquarters. Her announcement came just two days
after McGovern's colossal defeat, and one day after Sen. Lloyd
Bentsen (D-Tex.) called for her replacement. Some long-time
party members have labelled Westwood "too close to McGovern"
to be effective in the post.

Fired is deputy Carol Compton,
dismissed by Harvey for allegedly
ripping up a Harvey bumperstick-
er, an act which Compton denies.
Demoted are Lt. Tom Dorrance
and Sgt. Richard Coppernoll. The
two are now jail guards.
Harvey, who ran a poor third in{
the election on the American In-
dependent Party ticket, reported-
ly left town for two weeks after
taking the actions Wednesday and
is unavailable for comment.
Owings denies knowledge of
Harvey's reasons for the firings
and demotion,' adding that Harvey
left town without informing him of
the actions he had taken.
Pending arbitration, the union
may try to get Compton back on
the payroll and maintain Copper-
noll and Dorrance at their former
rank by obtaining a circuit court
inj unction.
The union may also sue Washte-
naw County, in an attempt to en-,
join the sheriff's department, for
violating the First Amendment.
Fred Postill, the Democratic
candidate who won Tuesday's elec-
tion, thinks Harvey just "blew off
the handle" because of the election
results and "took it out on the first
people he saw." ,Postill becomes
sheriff Jan. 1. It is within his pow-
er to restore the three to their'
former position, if he chooses.
Postill refused, at this time, to say
whether or not he would rehire
them.
Observers attribute part of the1
reason for Harvey's poor showing
to an investigation into his admin-;
istration by County Prosecutor
William Delhey, the results of
which were announced just before
the election.
Delhey revealed various irregu-
larities in Harvey's methods for
disposing of stolen property re-
covered by the sheriff's depart-
ment. Harvey denied any wrong-
doing, but Delhey called his actionsj
"illegal" even though he could
find no grounds upon which to pro-
secute.

The board of directors of the

Sloan expressed interest in "try-

with the University pulling the

However, he admitted having no
qualms about taking the $17,500

SGC rules

revamped
By CINDY HILL
Two major allocations and a
proposal designed to reform the
present University and off-campus
housing boards were passed during
last night's Student Government
Council (SGC) meeting-the first
for six new Coundil members.
Reportedly, a motion to remove
Council Treasurer Dave Schaper
from office was postponed until
next week.
The new housing board plan,
which passed unanimously, will re-
organize housing services within
two weeks.
University housing, previously
controlled by a unit committee of
the Office of Student Services
Policy Board (OSSPB) would be
controlled by the University Hous-
ing Council (UHC), under the plan.
Off-campus h o u s i n g matters
would be consolidated under a new
Off-campus Housing Policy Board.
At present, it has not been de-
termined who will be appointed to
the Board or how the Board will
be appointed.
In other action, Council approved
a $1,500 allocation to the Commu-
nity Research Internship Program,
designed to "make the University's
knowledge and skills more acces-
sible to active members of the
community," according to a state-
ment released by the group.
The program presently is under-

formation to welfare recipients,

Last evening Kritanananda Swami spoke and
chanted to about 30 people at the Modern Lan-
guage Building. He is the chief disciple of His
Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta, the founder of
the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
"You are not the body. The body is only matter;
the person is not the body but the spirit soul, the
conscience." oreached Kirtanananda.
"The love of god is lying dormant in the soul
of every living thing. In our human form we can
manifest this love by meditation, concentrating
on the supreme by hearing god's name," Kirtan-
ananda informed the audience in a soft reverent
voice.
He then invited the group to participate in a
conscienciousness raising chant. "Hare Krishna,
Hare Krishna . . ." he slowly intoned, accompanied
by the rhythmic throbbing of a drum and cymbals.
After each repetition of the chant, the pace
quickened until it reached a frenzied rate. Kirtan-
ananda continued for several minutes. his face
