Panty radio
WCBN, the University-owned and student-operated FM radio
statioh that broadcasts out of a closet in the basement of the Student
Activities Building, has switched frequencies while you weren't
listening. As of midnight last night, they're beaming out deadly elec-
tromagnetic waves at 88.3 megahertz instead of their familiar old 89.5
(To be blunt about the whole thing, they're being pushed off the
frequency by WEMU, the Eastern Michigan University station, which
wants to increase its power and nab some extra federal bucks.) Ah,
well, little grasshoppers, all life is Change.

I only have eyes for you
They say the best gift you can give is yourself. And fading beauty
Elizabeth Taylor decided last month to do exactly that-she has for-
mally donated her eyes to the International Eye Foundation. In mid-
September, while serving as honorary chairperson of the
organization's annual "Eye Ball", Taylor handed a note to foun-
dation director John King giving written permission for her peepers to
be deposited in the eye bank after her death. Her husband, John War-
ner, donated his eyes as well. Here's looking at you, kids.
On the outside ...
A good day to ponder weak and weary, since midnight will be quite
dreary. Look for a cloudy football afternoon, marked by occasional,
showers and a high of 65. Tomorrow the rain should stop rapping on
your chamber door, but the clouds and cool weather will remain-ex-
pect a high of about 60. Thus quoth the Raven.

Buhr facility is taken over by 'U'
By DAVID GOODMAN
The University has formally taken
possession of the vacant Buhr Ma-
chine Tool Building on Greene Street
near the stadium from the Bendix
Corp., which closed the plant last
spring, University and company
spokesmen announced yesterday.
The University paid Bendix
$480,000 for the 83,901 square foot
facility Thursday, although the build-
ing has an assessed value of $890,000.
A Bendix spokesman said the com-
pany was writing off the difference
as a gift.
"WE LIKE to think of ourselves as
a good corporate citizen," said
Bendix spokesman David Taylor.
"Because we were dealing with the
University, we had an added incen-
tive" to make the donation, he added.
In April, University Vice-President
James Brinkerhoff announced the
University was negotiating with Ben-
dix about buying the, plant.
"The first use (for the building)
would be to house the office and
warehouse distribution functions for
the U-M Press," Brinkerhoff said at
the time.
BRINKERHOFF indicated t h e
structure would also be used to store
library materials.
The Buhr plant is located on a 3.3
acre lot at 839 Greene Street. Parts of
the building date back to the 1920s.
Bendix bought Buhr, which manufac-
tures machine tools, in 1969, accord-
ing to Taylor.
In June, 1976, the corporation
announced plans to close the Buhr
plant and merge its operations with
another Bendix subsidiary, the Mich-
igan Special Machine Co. of Warren,
Michigan. The 130 production work-
ers at Buhr were offered jobs at the,
Warren plant, Taylor said.
In October, 1976, Bendix combined
Buhr and the Michigan Special
Machine Co. to form the Bendix
Machine Tool Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bendix, Taylor added.

Bursley plans escorts
By LORI CARRUTHERS
"Women helping women" is the
idea behind an escort service now
being organized at Bursley Hall to
combat the threat of rape and assault
on campus, a dorm spokeswoman
said yesterday.
"The main emphasis is on secur-
ity," said Sandy Williams, Bursley
resident adivser (RA). Concern
about safety on campus brought a
group of Bursley residents together
Tuesday to begin planning for a
volunteer escort program.

chairman of the Senate Energy Com-
mittee, said it appeared the deregula-
tion forces have a slight margin and
urged, "Let's get on with the people's
business forum, the conference be-
tween the House and Senate."
METZENBAUM and Abourezk had
blocked a vote on extending the federal
debt ceiling. Without the extension the
federal government would eventually
have been unable to honor checks or
pay its employes.
But after yesterday's natural gas
vote, the two senators allowed the debt
ceiling extension to pass. It differs from
a House measure so must go back to the
House for further action.
As a result, the ceiling authority ex-
pired at midnight yesterday, forcing
Treasury "Department officials to use
stopgap measures for several days to
keep the government financially afloat.
EXPLAINING the reversal in tac-
tics, Metzenbaum said, "We wanted to
keep the issue simple, just on natural
gas.
"We didn't want to bring in the issue
of whether federal employes and bills
will get paid so we withdrew our ob-
jection."
, In an earlier vote on the same motion
this week, the Senate refused to set
aside the deregulation plan sponsored
by Sens. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Tex.) and
James Pearson (R-Kan.) The vote the
first time was 52-46.
IN THE INTERIM, the administra-
tion picked up two votes from Demo-
cratic Sens. Gary Hart of Colorado and
John Sparkman of Alabama.

But, said Bumpers, "The' vote we
took on Friday is almost identical to the
vote we took the other day ... The
spread is still the same.
"I have no reason to believe the peo-
ple on the other side are any less intran-
sigent now than they were last week."
THE VOTE caught some senators off
guard because Byrd had just made a
lengthy and unsuccessful attempt to
bring the question to a vote.
