The Michigan Daily, Sunday, February 12, 1978-Page 7 Rivalsl (Continued from Page 1) And as the campaign begins to take form, now that Milliken is an announ- ced candidateand his record of incum- bency a fair target, the charges are not likely to lighten. SPECIFICALLY on his record, Milliken's weakest front will be the PBB issue. The poisoning of Michigan cattle by a fire-retardant mixed in with cattle feed has hung like an albatross around the governor's neck since the controversy erupted. Opponents are claiming Milliken mishandled the affair from the start, and they accuse him of negligence in not adequately compensating Michigan farmers affected by the disaster. Milliken will also be forced on the defensive amidst charges he has not helped the state's economic base. All challengers produce their own hefty statistics on how many businesses have left the state since the governor's tenure. State Senator Patrick Mc- Cullough is waging a cam- paign against the "typical Milliken," while his Senate colleague William Fitzger- ald is lambasting the in- cumbent's "cosmetic ap- proach to problem solving. THE INCUMBENT may also be in trouble with his own home base, the traditionally Republican out-state areas, which are upset with Milliken both for the PBB issue and for his policy of state aid to Detroit. With Detroit, Milliken is in a no-win situation. If he had failed to provide state help for the city, he would have risked isolating 'himself from the populous and voter-rich tr-county region of Southeastern Michigan, where the Traverse City Republican is still seen as an outsider.,t But by his consistent policy of urban development, Milliken has succeeded in alienating the rural and up-state Republicans, who generally THE HAGHANDS 1 and 2 bedroom apartments includes security lock system, drapes, dishwasher, lighted tennis courts, and pool Buses to and from campus daily 1693 Broadway, Apt. 302 769-3672 Reaume and Doddes Management Co. robe Milliken's record take umbrage at helping Detroit out of its financial woes. BY CHOOSING Brickley for a running mate, Milliken may be strengthening his support in tradi- tionally Democratic Southeastern Michigan, but he may need help more in the out-lying areas, unless he can reconcile his aid to Detroit and his handling of PBB with the up-state Republicans. Milliken does have a lot in his favor, however. His popularity with the voters is unquestioned, although his critics claim this is more smile than substance. The governor may also launch a campaign of incumbency, portraying the image of the hard-working gov- ernor aloof from the hustle-bustle of partisan politics. THIS FAMILIAR technique was used unsuccessfully by ex-President Gerald Ford in 1976 when he cam- paigned against Jimmy Carter as "President Ford" and restricted his campaigning to the White House Rose Garden. The technique was used successful- ly, however, just last year in Detroit Mayor Coleman Young's landslide victory over challenger E r n e s t Browne. Young campaigned as "Mayor Young," and aired spot radio ads which told listeners "You put him there, keep him there." At any rate, Milliken has already given indication that this is the course his non-campaign campaign will take by telling reporters, "There is much work that must first be completed in the Capitol" before he starts stumping the state. LASTLY, Milliken may be helped by the fact that four candidates have already lined up on the Democratic side, and two - Fitzgerald and McCullough - are from opposite ends of populous Detroit. In other words, a Democratic pri- mary campaign may split Detroit down the middle between the east side and its suburbs, where Fitzger- ald is better known, and the west Detroit downriver area, McCol- lough's constituency. If Detroit is effectively split, a can-' didate without the popular support of the state's Democrats could be nom- inated.- ALSO, Detroit Mayor Young may be the political kingmaker. As a. national leader in his own right, Detroit's popular incumbent could, well swing the Democratic primary to either of the candidates merely with his endorsement. But the whis- pers are getting louder that Young is upset' with both McCullough and Fitzgerald for not supporting him in his mayoral bid. Young is also in a touchy situation in endorsing any Democrat over Milliken, who, by all accounts, has been generous to Detroit. The mayor may withhold any endorsement at all, or make it cool at best, since he does owe Milliken a political favor. Milliken may also benefit from the traditional pattern of political sci- ence, that the party controlling the White House does-not fare well in the off-year election. In other words, Jimmy Carter may become a cross for state Democrats to bear.

Daily Photo by JOHN KNOX Standing here in breathless anticipation are a few of the 5,500 students who showed up Friday for the newly revived University tradition, Michigras. New Orleans' Spirit lives on at Michigras (Continued from Page 1) shows. But the atmosphere was no less festive Friday night at the first all-campus carnival in a decade. THE UNION lobby was decked out with streamers and packed with people. Some came wearing painted faces and costumes. In one corner, a jazz combo played to a small but enthusiastic audience, while behind them, others waited in 4 line for $1 million in play money. Straw-hatted carniva) barkers ca- joled the "rich" patrons into trying. their luck on the roulette wheel and similar games of skill and chance. Merrymakers found something dif- ferent in every alcove of the Union: a clown doing acrobatics, a caricature artist and a popcorn and candy stand. Booths of various student organi- zations lined the second floor halls. A N " Nazi bookstore protested (Continued from Page 1)' niggers home. Commies go home." "It was too political, too commun- istic," said another student. Two students managed to get into the bookstore before the protest started and talked to the Nazis. "It was 'business as usual'," said one student. Another overheard one Nazi say, "If they start throwing punches, we'll just go in there and wipe 'em out." potpourri of groups was represented, from a British folk dancing troupe, to an East Indian group displaying waterpipes and other exotica, to "Green Peace," which sold balloons saying "Save the Killer Whale." BEER WAS served in the ball- room, where there was barely enough room to dance as crowds thronged around the bar. The over- flow spilled out into the hall, causing an enormous traffic jam rivalling those at the beginning-of-the-term book rush. Larry Pulkownik, chairman of the University Activities Center (UAC) committee tha t sponsored the event, said celebrants polished off 43 kegs of beer. The beer was allowed only in the ballroom, and there were some students willing to forego the rest of the party for it. "It's too much hassle going through the crowd every time I want a beer," said junior Tim Karsten. "I can stay here and listen to the band and drink beer all night for less than what the cover charge is at most bars." But the evening was not without incident. One small fistfight broke out at the conclusion of the event, but the participants left when asked, Pul- kownik said. Also, campus security reported an "extremely small" fire of undetermined origin on the fourth floor. Summing up the carnival's other- wise successful comeback, Pulkow- nik said, "Our objective was not to make a lot of money - we knew it would take 3000 people just to break even. What's more important is that the party got people into the Union, and they learned that it's a viable building for students on campus." 1 '7 Ii Valenine 'sDa Spc$l LOTS OF THEM IBMNED PEOPL JE And we can offer outstanding career opportunities for MBA Candidates in Marketing or Finance and for those majoring in Chemistry or Computer Science.
