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. Happenings ...

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 ture z e VOTE HRP this year.

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 Undersheriff Harold Owings' Urban Development." Registration starts at 9 a.m. . . .

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. On the inside . . .

SGC FUNDED; unsuccessful candidacy for the sheriff's office, he Nays. 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 "structures group" commit- tee is not to be confused with the "internal construction" committee, which oversees and implements all physical preparations in the store, once it is found, Sloan said. The board of directors of the co-op is made up of one represent- ative from each of the five com- mittees and the next three most interested persons. The board will be "purely for communication between commit- tees and responsible for publishing a legal audit, as required by law," Sloan remarked. Sloan expressed interest in "try- ing to stay away from being a student - affiliated organization," with the University pulling the strings. However, he admitted having no qualms about taking the $17,500 from the Regents, rationalizing that the money is really from the stu- dents. SGC rules on dorms 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 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.
