COAL CRUNCH See editorial page r~#ir IEtIaII SLOPPY High-30 Low-14 See Today for details Vol. LXXXVIII, No. 111 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, February 12, 1978 Ten Cents -*10 Pages Plus Supplement Carter orders aid to ease coal crisis WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Carter, warning even greater hardship may be ahead before the 69-day coal miners' strike is settled, ordered emergency measures yesterday to keep energy flowing to Ohio and other hard- pressed states. Noting that some electric utilities have reduced power to industrial customers, the president said "more such cutbacks will follow even if the strike is settled soon, and employment impacts will be felt shortly.".. CARTER instructed Energy Secre- tary James Schlesinger to plan the emergency movement of coal in event it is needed and to continue efforts to shift electrical power from non-affected areas to those running short of coal. The coal strike, the longest ever by the United Mine Workers (UMW), went into its 69th day today and could con- tinue well into next month. UMW representatives unofficially voted Friday to reject a contract that in- cludes an average $10.25 hourly wage. "Those in areas most affected by the 'Revelers celebrate Micliigras By MICHELLE MANASON An old campus tradition was re- vived this weekend, as some 5500 people flocked to the usually quiet Michigan Union to celebrate Ann Arbor's owiversion of Mardi Gras - Michigras. Once, Michigras meant a whirl- wind of parades. The campus came to resemble a fairground, with ferris wheels, roller coasters and side See NEW, Page 7 strike have already made great sacrifices," the president said in a statement announcing instructions to his Cabinet to meet the coal s'ipply problem. "Before'the strike is over, and for several weeks thereafter until the normal flow of coal is restored, even greater hardship will occur." THE STATES with power companies facing the most critical shortages of stockpiled coal are Ohio, Tenessee, In- diana and Pennsylvania, an Energy Department spokesmarsaid. Those states have utility companies depending on coal stockpiles that had dropped to as little as 21 days' supply as of Feb. 4, said the spokesman, Frank Kelly. The coal stockpiles will be re- evaluated on Wednesday. Kelly said the coal shortage is much more serious than the stockpiles in- dicate because coal at the bottom of the stockpiles is wet and mixed with mud, leaving some of it unsuitable for ef- ficient burning. Carter said federal air pollution stan- dards are being relaxed in Ohio for 30 days so industries there can make more efficient use of what little coal is left in that state. Anti-Nazi picketers protest at bookstore By SHELLEY WOLSON Special to The Daily DETROIT - Picketers sporting red arm bands, carrying mega-. phones and waving signs demon- strated in front of Detroit's contro- versial Nazi bookstoreyesterday. A small group of University of Michigan students was on hand to observe the confrontation between leftist protesters and the white supremacist bookstore operators. Drawing some 200 people, the demonstration was sponsored by the International Socialist/W o r k e r s' Power group, its youth affiliate, the Red Tide, and the United Effort against Fascism. The store opened three months ago and features mostly free literature with a few priced items. "They claim it's a bookstore but it appears to be more of a political headquarters," said David Kelly,, one of the students who went to the protest. Since discovering the store's Nazi orientation, the landlord has sought to evict the group, but with no success. About 15 policemen cleared awway the demonstrators while 10 others formed a barricade in front of the swastika-draped storefront. Chant- ing "We'll be back" and "Let's march. Let's shout. Let's kick those Nazis out," the protestors left in high spirits. Larry Smith, who headed the protest said, "We don't want fas- cism. The only way they can be beaten is to go up against like this. We believe this is a successful effort." "BUT THEY were patting them- selves on the. back while they alienated the community," reacted one student observer. "It had posi- tive effects for the Nazis.'" Some area residents and some presumed Nazis shouted "Take your See NAZI, Page 7 Doily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG Michigan's Alan Hardy lays one in over Spartan Ron Charles as Michigan State forward Greg Kelser looks on.

MSU ROLLS, 73-62: State stamp1s out cager By DAVE RENBARGER As of yesterday afternoon, Michigan's on-again, off- again run at the Big Ten championship is officially off- again. But this time things could be permanent. THE WOLVERINES' most intense conference rivals, the Michigan State Spartans, came to Crisler Arena and did the damage, handing the defending champs a 73-62 thrashing before a packed house that included up to a thousand fans standing in the aisles. Although it took the tenth-rated Spartans the better part of forty minutes to do so, the MSU triumph did a whole lot more than even the score between the two teams on the year. For one, it'put State in the Big Ten driver's seat, alone at the top with a 10-2 slate. For another, it left Michigan (7- 5) back in fourth place, a full three games back with only six left. AND FINALLY, it left Spartan Earvin Johnson with a few more admirers, if not fans. MSU's 'Magic man did it all for his team this time, and even the staunchest of the Michigan rooters would have to agree. A quick look at Johnson's stats tells the story. A game- high 25 points (8-11 from the field and 9-10 from the line) plus eight rebounds and six assists is a difficult force to neutralize. Michigan's defensive specialist Tommy Staton found that out, foulingout after covering Johnson for only 26 minutes.. "What can you do when the man you're guarding is the hub of the offense," said Staton. "Once he gets going, he's a helluva player to stop."

Robert Griffin, a proven vote-getter with broad support in state Republican ranks, may be giving second thoughts to his retirement plans. A new round of talk was sparked Friday when Gov. William Milliken, who only weeks ago said he was positive Griffin would step down, hinted that he was no longer as sure as he was earlier about Griffin's future. MILLIKEN met privately with Grif- fin in Washington Thursday, but the governor would say only that he and Griffin "discussed a whole range of political matters." Griffin, after losing the Senate GOP leadership, announced last year he would not seek re-election to the Senate. Asked by reporters if he thinks Grif- fin is reconsidering, Milliken would only respond, "I don't know." , WHEN ASKED if he supports efforts to change Griffin's mind, the governor said: "I'll have more to say on that later" and refused further comment. Sources close to Griffin and highly placed in the state GOP concede he is being pressured to run again. Some party leaders fear the Republicans will lose the seat to Democrats in the November general election. Three Republicans have announced their intentions to run for the Senate GOP nomination. They are Lt. Gov. James Damman, Oakland County Prosecutor L. Brooks Patterson and Upper Peninsula Rep. Philip Ruppe, a close friend of Griffin. By DENNIS SABO The small booth looks like a study carrel in the Graduate Library with its desk and chair, but that's where the similarity stops. ~ Cigarette ads and pictures of cancer victims plaster the walls, and the desk top is littered with cigarette butts. This room is where many smokers find their long-desired escape from Tobacco Road. "In here, you're attacking all five senses,"explained Don Powell, director of Smoke Stoppers, Inc., a program of the Institute of Behavior Change. "But don't get the wrong idea-it's not meant to be a scare tactic." . NEVERTHELESS, the program's use of aversion therapy to build negative associations with cigarettes is enough to get many smokers to kick the hab it. Powell trains his clients to become more aware of his smoking habits by Alaving them jot down a note each time they light a cigarette. "People say, 'I smoke all the time,' but once they take note of their smoking habits, you can really see patterns," Powell explained. FROM THE note-taking, new associations can be formed, Powell said. For example, if a person smokes after dinner while sitting in a favorite chair, that chair becomes associated with smoking. Doily Photo by PETER SERLING "Smoking is a learned behavior," This cigarette butt-littered booth marks the' end of Tobacco Road for many Powell noted. "It's learned with certain of those who enroll in the Institute of Behavior Chang's smoking withdrawal activities, like lighting a cigarette with program. each cup of coffee." At the beginning of the "interven- tion" program, Powell classifies the clients into six different "smoking per- sonalities," with physical nicotine cravers and those who smoke for relaxation being the most common. THE CLIENTS then begin five one- hour sessions where new associations with smoking are made. "They learn about cigarette smoking in a way they have never learned before," Powell said.."Someone is over the physical aspect within five days." Participants are also taught to relax and receive instruction in deep breathing exercises to slow the heart rate. DURING intervention, Powell has clients switch hands they normally smoke with, change cigarette brands or wait five minutes after an urge to light a cigarette. "You have to reconstruct the person consciously and unconsciously to change their emotional attitudes toward cigarettes," Powell explained. Maintenance programs are established to help participants cope with the possibility of slight weight gains after breaking the habit, though some actually shed a few pounds during the course of the program. Clients are also helped to curtail their taste for cigarettes.
