whose walls absorbed the Sun's heat,
thereby keeping them warm
throughout the night.
In 1976, the Eneirgy Research and
Development Administration
calculated that the use of solar power
for heating and hot water would be
cheaper than electricity in every part of
the United States with the exception of
the Pacific Northwest, which utilizes its
abundant water supplies for power.
NATIONAL SUN DAY, as
proclaimied by the U.S. Senate, is May
3. The celebration will begin with a
sunrise observance from the peak of
Cadillac Mountain, Maine, where the
Sun's rays first touch the United States,
and will continue throughout the nation
with concerts, fairs and rallies to be
held in various cities.

McCollough, the polished state
senator from Dearborn, who leaves a
lingering sweet scent of his cologne in
each handshake-is clearly the more
conservative of the two.
"I think I bring to the race a solid
background and solid experience,"
McCollough said of his eight years of
Senate experience. "The best thing that
can happen to Bill Milliken and the
Republicans is their defeat."
ALTHOUGH BOTH favor the with-
drawal of investments from South
Africa and the development of solar
energy rather than nuclear power, they'
remain divided on the development of
the state's industry.
"We have three major industries in
the State of Michigan-industry,
tourism and agriculture," Ferency
said. He dislikes giving tax breaks to
large private industries, especially to
General Motors and the Ford Motor
Company to locate more plants in the
state. Both companies recently recor-
ded record profits.
"I don't see any great evil in the
word, 'corporation,"' McCollough
countered. "I think their programs
would have been beneficial to
Michigan."
FERENCY SAID a state-owned
railroad like the Ann Arbor Railroad
would be more beneficial in developing
tourism than other forms of mass tran-
sportation.
"Our railroad should be running 90 to
120 miles an hour, not 30," Ferency
said, comparing it to trainlines in other
states. "I don't know why anyone would
want to spend a weekend in Ohio or In-
diana." Ferency added that since only
$3.8 milion in funds has been devoted to
the railway systems, both tourism and
public transit suffer.
McCollough said more than that sum
was spent on railroad development this
year.
"Look at the budget, Pat," Ferency
told McCollough.
"LET'S RECOGNIZE we are in com-
petition with the southern states," Mc-
Colough quickly continued. "Business
tax loans lost credit rating under the
Milliken administration."
On DNA reserach, Ferency said he
hoped that the researchers would be
careful with their practice and "not to
turn anything loose until their damn
sure of what they got."
"I don't know enough about DNA
researchatkthis time," McCollough
said.
McCOLLOUGH SAID he favored the
practice of public aid for private
schools.
"I rather give the money directly to
the students and let them decide
(whether to go to public or private
schools)," McCollough said.
Ferency said as long as there was a
need for public school aid, private
school funding should be ruled out. "I
don't think the public should be used to
support private enterprise," Ferency
said. "Anyone, can go to a public
school."
"We can't keep private schools open,
only private schoolscan keep private
schools open," he added.

Contact lenses are a big step. And it's only
natural for you to be a little unsure about making it.
That's why when you get hard or soft contacts from

That's why we give you 45 days from purchase to
