Canine candidate
Rufus T. Hunsberger is unquestionably the underdog in this
week's Michigan Student Assembly, mainly because Rufus is, in fact,
a dog. Rufus is officially a candidate for an MSA Rackham seat, and
he belongs to Engineering student Todd Hunsberger. According to G.
J. DiGiuseppe, MSA election director, although there is no "Rufus"
Hunsberger registered as a student, the canine candidate is on the
ballot because "T." Hunsberger is eligible. Junior Craig Horn who
was behind the plot said "It's not like a prank. It's just sort of a tongue-
in-cheek comment on student government at the University of
Michigan." According to DiGiuseppe, if Rufus wins the election, the
seat will go to his owner, Todd. Both Todd and Rufus T. Hunsberger
are in Chicago and could not be reached for comment.

Tribal base severs S. African
ties to advocate 'majority rule'
I,
UMTA TA, Transkei, South Africa
(AP) - Transkei, South Africa's first
independent tribal homeland, said
yesterday it was breaking diplomatic
relations with the nation that created it
and would press a "struggle for
liberation" toward black rule in white-
govered South Africa.
Transkei's independence is
recognized only by South Africa, whose
policy of racial separation calls for con-
signing its 19 million blacks to nine
scattered homelands. Opponents of
apartheid say the existence of Transkei
helps perpetuate the dominance of
South Africa by its 4.5 million whites.
Transkei Prime Minister Kaiser
Matanzima, announcing the rupture in
a speech to parliament here, said his
government "can no longer take it.
"WE HAVE BEEN compelled to join
the liberatory movements and claim
the whole of South Africa as belonging
to blacks and whites, with blacks con-
trolling the majority. .. We are going
to propagate majority rule in southern
Africa. From now henceforth this is the
fundamental policy of our struggle for
liberation."
Matanzima said he would recall
Transkei's ambassador and consuls
and eject the South African am-
bassador by April 30.
There was no immediate reacton
from the South African government.
THE OPPOSITION leader in the
South African parliament, Colin Eglin,
said: "It is ironic that the first
homeland to get independence in terms
of the ruling National Party's grand
design should now .have decided to
sever relations with the government."
Matanzima predicted not only a con-
frontation between Transkei and South
Africa but a "bloody struggle" between
black and white South Africans. Other
black states in southern Africa - in-
cluding Tanzania, Zambia, and
Mozambique - harbor nationalist
guerrillas training for combat against
the governments of South Africa and
Rhodesia.
South Africa's "comtemptuous and
brutal" rejection of his government's
claim to East Griqualand; along Tran-
skei's northern border. If incorporated,
the territory would unite Transkei's
main part with a separate chunk
isolated inside South Africa.
OBSERVERS IN South Africa said
more pressing reasons for the break in-
cluded domestic pressure on Matan-
zima to take a hard line against South
Africa and his apparent belief that he
may win some recognition abroad if he
severs relations.
Just after Transkei's independnce
Oct. 26, 1976, the U.N. General Assem-
bly voted 134-0 to declare the "sham in-
dependence" invalid.
Transkei remains economically
dependent on South Africa, which
provides more than half of its 1977-78
national budget of $274 million.
MATANZIMA SAID: "Nobody should
doubt the reaction of white South Africa
to our decision. They will use
everything possible to ostracize and
apply sanctions againsi us. If they
withdraw financial aid from us, it will
be what we expected them to do."
Group proposes new
military pension plan'
WASHINGTON - A presidential
commission yesterday urged an end to
20-year retirements and "double-
dipping" for the next generation of
military personnel.
President Carter received the report
saying he ag;ees there are "serious
defects" in the military retirement
system. He said he would try to send a
bill to Congress by January to correct
them.
The report by the President's Com-
mission on Military Compensation
urged a new system of old-age pensions
and deferred pay to replace the present
military retirement system.
IT ALSO URGED some increases in
military allowances and said the net ef-
fect would be to cut projected
retirement costs by one-third, begin-
ning around the end of the century.
Under the present retirement system
military personnel may draw a pension
of half their basic pay after 20 years
service, beginning immediately and
continuing for life, with inflation ad-
justments. On the- average, officers
retire at age 39.
The cost of this pension system is now
$10 billion a year, and is expected to
grow to $30 billion in the next 20 years,
the commission said. It eats up eight
percent of the entire Pentagon budget.
THE COMMISSION'S proposal also
would prohibit those who retire from
getting federal pension checks while
working in the federal Civil Service, a
practice known as double-dipping.
"The current law can no longer be
justified," commission chairman
Charles Zwick said in a statement to
Carter. "These awesome economic
facts, plus the relatively young people
receiving retirement payments, have
coroded the credibility of military
retirement in the minds of many
Americans."
The commission's recommendation's
would have no effect on persons
already retired, reservists or on those
already in uniform, provided they have
served at least four years. The panel
said the government has an obligation
to continue the present 20-year
retirement system for those who re-
enlisted believing they were working to
ward such a pension.

10 a.. Thursday, April13
Under the proposal, those who join
military service in the future, or who
have served less than four years, would
earn credits toward a pension modeled
after the Civil Service system.
It would allow them to retire with an
immediate pension at age 55, after 30
years of service.
Those with 20 years of service could
begin drawing a pension at age 60, in-
stead of immediately on retirement as
under the present system. It would also
allow a pension with as little as 10 years
service, half the present minimum,
although payments would not begin un-
til age 62.
