According to unofficial results, Fisher received 521 votes to Mclntire 's 239 in an election where under five per cent of the Ward's 18,000 registered voters turned out. tFISHER WILL now face former Democratic Councilman LeRoy Cap- paert in the April 3 general election for thet seat being vacated by retiring I~moratJamie Kenworthy. Fisher was unavailable for comment last night. His campaign manager, former Ann Arbor Mayor James Stephenson, said, "I think they've taken a vacation to Phoenix. I think they've already left." A woman who said she was babysit- ting Fisher's children said that Fisher was at Stephenson's home, however. McINTIRE, although disappointed about the loss of his first political cam- paign, pledged his support to Fisher. "We just have to look to the alternative and that's LeRoy (Cappaert)," he told a group of 25 supporters last night. "We just can't let him get elected. I'm just going to do whatever David asks me to." McIntire added that he will now put his personal energies toward Fifth Ward Councilman Louis Belcher's mayoral campaign. Belcher will be on the ballot against incumbent Democrat Albert Wheeler for the second time in a year. Democrat Cappaert commented on the open primary in which he received 50 votes although he ran unopposed. "I respect an open primary ..-. an oppon- ent doesn't make a lot of difference to me, I just try to be as concise in stating my position as I've always been." CAPPAERT said he had expected the low turnout in the student areas, but added that the two Republicans hadn't captured the student interest. "I'm reluctant to use students, I think there are so many different groups, I prefer to think of the University com- munity ... but turnout is very low in 'F ard primary that sector. I don't think they (the other candidates) have said anything to in- terest the student sector." Voter turnout was sparse all over the- Fourth Ward yesterday. In both the fourth and fifth precincts, populated mainly by students, only three persons cast ballots. Fisher garnered most of his support from the more affluentR precincts, including. the Lansdowne area, while McIntire gained votes in those precincts dotted with apartment complexes and older homes4j 0 SUSAN ROYLE, McIntire's cam- paign manager, said of the sparse voter turnout, "People obviously don't care who the candidate is - otherwise they'd have voted. Of. 18,000 registered voters in the Fourth Ward, only about 700 voted." According to Royle, McIntire's main, problem during his campaign was iden- tity. "It would have helped if the Ward's student voters hadturned out," she said. The Fourth Ward race between Fisher and Democrat Cappaert is now expected t become one of the major contests in this spring's election. The ward, long considered the city's 'swing' ward, may determine which political party will hold the majority on Council for the next year. In Ypsilanti, Democratic Councilman Eric Jackson lost his bid for a third term to political newcomer Ronald Frederick, 138 to 111. James Wagner received 28 votes. Frederick will face Republican Floyd Hiler in the April general election. Douglas Harris captured the Council seat in the First Ward. No Republican candidate has filed for the seat. Harris defeated Mattie Dorsey, who was at- tempting to regain the seat she lost last year, by a wide margin of 233 to 118. Jerome Strong was also defeated in hisj second bid for the Democratic nomina- tion, receiving 57 votes. This story was written by Lani Jordan with files from Julie Rovner, R.J. Smith and Dennis Sabo.

The story appeared in Sun- day's paper. Although all three originally won seats on the City Council as members of the Human Rights Party (HRP), they are no longer HRP members. In 1977, the Ypsilanti HRP chapter dissolved. Its members reformed as the Democratic Socialist Caucus within the Ypsilanti Democratic Party. The Human Rights Party lost its state-wide ballot status in 1977 after its top candidates failed to get enough votes in the November, 1976 election. man.

"We are still concerned that the em- phasis on quality of all individuals be the paramount consideration," said SACUA member, Physics Prof. Lawrence Jones.

Other issues raised by Jones included cost of the program, pointing out that federal and state governments do not give special grants to assist in the im- plementation of such programs. He ex- pressed concern that substantial costs would have to be deducted from other University expenditures. BAKER RESPONDED to this by saying that she could not venture an estimate of the cost, explaining that the See FACULTY, Page 2 Women confront minority problems By PAULINE TOOLE A panel of minority women discussed the issues facing women today and the double oppression suffered by minority women. The forum, sponsored by the Womens Studies Department, ad- dressed 150 mostly women students in the Modern Languages Buildinh yester- day. The speakers - two Chicanos, one Black, one Asian American, one physically handicapped woman and one Jewish American - confronted the cultural stereotypes fostered by society and the discrimination faced daily. "THESE PEOPLE are not tokens representing a race," said moderator De Lois Toins. She asked the audience to view the speakers as individuals discussing their background. The session attempted to present in- dividuals perceptions of the stereotypes they face. The women proceeded to outline the stereotypes within their cultures. The g quotes will be attributed on a first name basis, as that was the identification preferred by the participants.

"I want to carry a political message to the people," Ferency said. "Given the present political situation, I think we have a good chance of winning." FERENCY SAID his ,intentions are simple - he wants to give the public more control over energy and industry, stimulate the state economy and create more jobs. "We're zeroing in on economic growth and development for the state of Michigan," Ferency said. "We're try- ing to encourage private business to stay or locate in Michigan."
