IY SEE tL'WS HNAECALLXrDALY It's the real thing If the first day of classes has already got you down, there is an escape mute-and you don't have to take a train or plane to get there. Just hoof it over to the Daily at 420 Maynard St. (next tothe Student Activities Build- ing) and leave the rigors of that ivory tower academia behind (until the day befdre the final). Addicted Daily-ites will tell you that dealing with the, "real" world through daily reporting or editing wire stories from around the world will keep you in touch and in a sane state of mind (most of the time). Join us Monday, Sept. 19, at 7:30 p.m. for a mass meeting, won't you? Going. :going.. gone! Twitch your nose, rub your elbow or just scream out-today's your chance to demonstrate some imagination and shopping prowess at the Great Hospital Auctiop. Yes, folks,, adorn your house, apartment or dorm room with a nifty electric lhspital bed or an examination table. The old St. Joseph's Hospital at 326 N. Ingalls offers furnishings to fit all needs: if you find you can't stand your roommate after two days of misery, buy a patient room divider. Maybe your living room is empty? Fill it up with "waiting roo modular seating" (you have to get your magazines elsewhere, though). Perhaps the landlord lied about the fireplace? Have no fear, St. Joe's offers the next best thing, an artificial fireplace. Maybe the landlord lied about the heating? Well, electric heaters are a comfortable substitute. Walls bare? Choose from more than 100 pictures and frames that once hung in those hallowed halls of hospital green. But if you can't handle that, they also have plenty of traditional fare-dressers, toasters, shelves,. chairs, stoves, cabinets. The affair runs from 10:30 a. . to 6:30 p.m. as the profes- sional auctioneers run on and on at the mouth. A hospital spakesperson says everything must go. The policy is cash or check and carry, and the gala event will be out in the parking lot facing Glen Street, rain or shine. Just hope those bedpans, scalpels, and stethoscopes don't rust. r Bargains are not for the birds If hospitals depress you, try your luck at the Kiwanis Sale at the corner of Washington and First Streets. Though the sale is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., bargain-hunters have traditionally set up camp outside the building as the birds begin their tweeting. Anything for a deal. Happenings.... ... are scant today, if you're not interested in parting with greenbacks ... The Uhiversity of Michigan Sailing Club sails alone as today's only event with its open meeting at Baseline Lake, running all day. Rides are available from Pound House on the corner of Hill St. and E. University. For. more in- formation, call the club at 426-3126 or come to the weekly meetings on Thursdaysin 311 W. Engineering Building... . If you're a landlubber, our only suggestion lis to pasrty down tonight. Ya got no choice. On the outside.. Enjoy the breeze as it slaps your face and the sun as it tans you. The mercury, however, will hit only 72 degrees this afternoon. But it'll be a gor- geous day-enjoy it. Amin's firing squad shoots 15 conspirators XAMPALA* Uganda (AP) - A firing squad executed 15 men con- victed of plotting against President Idi Amin, shooting them one by one yesterday as they stood tied against sand-filled water drums on the outskirts of Kampala. A large crowd watched as the executions, ordered by the Military Defense Council and approved by Amin, were carried out at 5:05 p.m. (10:05 a.m. EDT), near the Queen's clock tower here. THE BODIES of the 15 condemned men, who were lined up in the same spot where a number of guerrillas faced Uganda's first public execution by firing squad in 1973, fell one after the other when the bullets hit. Radio Uganda, in a broadcast monitoied in London, said 35 minutes before the executions took place: "Life President Idi Amin has warned that anybody, be he a minister or high-rankingbsecurity officer or a civilian, who engages in subversive activities against Ugan- da, is actually committing suicide." AMIN WAS QUOTED as saying no country in the world can tolerate subversive activity aimed at over- throwing the government. Radio Uganda was silent yesterday on Amin's condition following a previous broadcast thathe under- went surgery in Kampala's Mulago Hospital two days ago for an undis- closed ailment. Amin signed the execution papers Tuesday, rejecting a last-minute appeal for mercy from Liberian President William Tolbert. Amin had said he could not ignore the directive of the Military Defense Council. TWELVE OF THE c'ondemned men were convicted last month of plotting to overthrow Amin in an abortive coup allegedly timed to coincide with the sixth anniversary of the dictator's accession to power Jan. 26. The other three were sen- tenced in July on treason and murder; charges. According to earlier Radio Uganda broadcasts monitored in Nairobi, 12 of the condemned men were convict- ed Aug. 22 before a military tribunal in Kampala's City Hall. THEY PLEADED guilty at the two-week trial and outlined their roles in the abortive coup attempt: It THE MICHIGAN DAILY Volume LXXXVIII, No. 2 Friday, September 9, 1977 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.
