Yesterday marked the debut of the sleeker, envelopeless tabs that look something like the report cards that will grace your mailbox in January. It used to take six to seven hours to prepare the old checks for distribution, says Payroll Office Manager Melbourne Amos, and the new format cuts work down to two to three hours. Besides saving time, the change also frees up the space needed to store 300,000 paycheck envelopes. Rip the perforations all around to find out how much of your paycheck was devoured by taxes, but be careful. One Bursley resident didn't follow the dotted line and ended up ripping his check in half. A new leaf Festooned with orange and yellow ribbons, a tilia cordata has sur- faced around the corner from Angell Hall. Pass by the northeast corner, the one closest to State and William, and take a gander at the tree hugging the Angell Hall wall. Planted Wednesday, the tree is a little-leaf linden, according to University landscape architect Bob Mueting, and is one of many scheduled to make new roots around the University. Known for its dense foliage, the tree will provide plenty of shade once the sum- mer sun rises, and its low branches should discourage those students trying to cut corners. I -r .

Taken last September, the photo charges levelled by black nationalists. Salisbur, alleged SALISBURY, Rhodesia (AP)-In five years of escalating war between Rhodesia's white-minority government and black nationalist guerrillas, both sides have accused each other of atrocities involving civilians. Now the Salisburg government itself is looking into allegations that its soldiers were involved in atrocities committed against black civilians. The Rhodesian government produced in 1976 a 31-page booklet, entitled "Harvest of War," detailing hundreds of atrocities allegedly committed by black guerrillas against whites as well as black tribesmen who refused to join their ranks. ON NOV. 23, the Rhodesian military command announced that it had begun an investigation last September of allegations of atrocities committed by the army against civilians, It said the investigation is expected to be com- pleted in the near future. A new account, by a photographer who got a rare closeup look at Rhodesian troops in action, offers some d&btail behind the investigation. One of the cases under investigation involves activities witnessed by an American contract photographer for The Associated Press, J. Ross Baugh- man. Baughman, now out of Rhodesia, said he saw members of a 25-man Rhodesian army cavalry unit loot, burn down native huts and beat a local black politician and torture his wife and daughter. THE TRUTH behind each side's ac- cusations is difficult to find. Control of reporters is strict. Baugh- man's presence was arranged with the help of a Rhodesian army major, an American, with official government approval. When more senior Rhodesian authorities found out who Boughman gov't I Begins look into lack atrocities white, b was, he was ordered to return to Salisbury where some of his film was confiscated or spoiled, although he was able to get some out. Baughman said the incidents took place in the area of Lupani, 80 miles from the border of Botswana. He added that he was in the presence of a white officer when the latter received a report from a fellow officer that the black politician, Moffat Ncube, secretary of the local branch of the African National Council, had died as the result of beatings during in- terrogation. A HIGH-LEVEL Rhodesian army source said Baughman's account was accurate in substance but that 75 per cent of the details either were exaggerated or wrong. The source said Ncube is alive and would be a chief prosecution witness in any court- martial that might arise from the Sep- tember interrogations. There is no record of Ncube's death at the civilian administration offices in Lupani or the nearby town of Tjoljtjo. The Rhodesian .military has blamed black nationalist guerrillas, who are fighting to oust the white-dominated Rhodesian government, for three mass executions of black civilians, including 114 whites, of whom 15 were religious missionaries. There are no figures available on the number of persons alleged to have been victims of any similar action by the army. THE GOVERNMENT has alleged that guerrilla atrocities included forced cannibalism. One black victim told LING LEE Year End S$le 20% OFF on $10 or more purchase 407 N. Fifth Ave. (Inside Kerr ytown) news reporters last year the guerrillas sliced off his ears and forced his wife to cook and eat them. A black laborer on a white-owned farm had his feet cut off. Photographer Baughman said he saw white soldiers commit atrocities while on a three-day mission with the Grey's Scouts, a mounted tracking unit. During that time, he said, he saw the soldiers: -Beat Ncube about the head with a small wooden bat. He was unconscious and tied up at the time. -Kick and threaten two black youths who were among a group rounded up at an abandoned school. -Burn down huts and threaten to destroy others. -Fasten rope nooses about the necks of two prisoners and force them to run or be dragged several miles behind horses. -Repeatedly punch a black prisoner before pinning him to the ground, wrapping his shirt about his head and pouring water from a bucket over his nose and mouth until he passed out.

ARGENTINIAN TRADE BUENOS AIRES (AP)-With exports totaling $2.35 billion for the first five months of 1977, or 75 per cent more than for the same period last year, Argen- tina showed a favorable trade balance of $930 million, reported the Secretariat for Foreign Trade. While all export sec- tors registered gains, the Secretariat noted that manufactured goods were up 40.6 per cent over the same five-month period of 1976.- MMM" - - the ann arbor film cooperative TONIGHT!
