' YM SE NDS HORN CALL'WDAILY The Michigan Daily-Sunday, December 11, 1977-Page 3 A day of dissent for nation's farmers I Protesting Califano degree The selection of Joseph Califano, secretary of Health, Education and Welfare as the commencement speaker might suit the fancies of those who wanted a prestigious speaker at the December 18 exer- cises. But others, including the Ann Arbor Chapter of the National Organization for Women, protest the choice on the basis of the speaker's politics. Califano has repeatedly publicly opposed federal financial support for poor women who choose to have abortions but who lack the private funds for those abortions. Califano also will get an honorary degree while here at the 'U'. Mary Pence,,president of NOE locally, is urgining all members of the audience who do not agree it might be appropriate for the University Regents to give Califano an honorary degree to stand at the end of Califano's speech, and turn their backs on him "to demonstrate in an orderly but vivid way their disapproval of his lack-of insight and compassion," she said. Persons interested in participating in the protest should contact NOW at 1917 Washtenaw. Happenings .. . the happenings don't stop and take a break for the holidays.

That's it for the break: have a happy! A simple tast of fate You could say Jerry Jenkins got his just dessert. Jenkins, 23, a Vermont man, decided to honeymoon in New York City, subjecting himself to all those things we always hear about in New York. Monday night, his car was stolen, and taken on a fatal rampage through Times Square. Learning of that incident, Jenkins said, "Look, my car has been smashed, my wife had a gun stuck in her face. I hate this town. I'm never coming back," he said. His bitter words fell on influential -ears; city officials, a newspaper and a hotel got together to wine and dine the honeymooners. take them -to Broadway shows, and give them a free room for the remainder of their honeymoon. But New York City's finest pulled the red carpet from beneath the Jenkins' feet when they arrested him on a fugitive warrant for allegedly passing $2,500 in bad checks in his home state. The publicity Jenkins received in New York helped investigators link "Jenkins the check-passer with the Jenkins in the papers." Officers, saying Jenkins had tried passing a few checks in the Big Apple, making him make good on his word to leave town. On the outside - . ...it might start out nice, but don't expect it to stay that way (it's Ann Arbor, remember?) The prognosis is for a sunny morning. But increasing cloudiness is on the agenda, so the evening sky will be all but obscured. The high of 20 degrees is expected to drop to a low of six. The weatherpersons promise it will get unnoticeably warmer for Monday, and say we should expect some snow that day- but only about one or two inches worth. Some of the 550 tractors pass through Macon, Ga., on their way to a mass demonstration at the state Capitol in Atlanta yesterday. The string of ve- hicles stretched more than 20 miles in the tractorcade formed to protest farm prices. The farmers are asking for 100 per cent parity-an economic yardstick meaning that their income is in balance with their cost. WASHIN'GTON (AP)-Two lines of tractors, each nearly five miles long, rolled into Washington yesterday with their drivers steaming despite gusty winds and cold. The temperature was 23 degrees and winds gusted at more than 20 mph as the first vehicles crossed into the District of Columbia from Maryland and Virginia before noon. Some of the signs proclaimed "100 percent parity or no food." THE NUMBER of tractors fell far short of the 5,000 to 10,000 that had been predicted earlier, or even the 1,000 estimate made earlier in the day. Maryland state police said the convoy was more than 400 vehicles long. In Virginia, police counted 152 trucks and tractors. The demonstration, in Washington and around the country, is to let President Carter, the Congress and the nation know how serious farmers are about higher farm prices. The farmers are demanding that the prices of their goods be allowed to rise to 100 per cent of parity-an economic yardstick meaning their income is in balance with their costs. The measure is based on farmers' purchasing power in the period from 1910 to 1914. Under that formula, wheat would cost $5.04 a bushel. The price last month averaged $2.48, 49 per cent of the parity figure. THE WASHINGTON protest is being duplicated in state capitals across the nation. The protest in Arizona was can- celed Friday over complaints by protest leaders there that it would leave Tucson as the only state capital in the nation without demonstrators around the statehouse. Organizers of the demonstration say it is designed to convince American shoppers that marketing costs-what the middleman spends-are behind higher food bills, not farm profits. American Agriculture, a Colorado- based organization, started the tractor movement which could end in a farm strike nationwide next Wednesday. "BUT IF WE get some promised from the White House and the Capitol, I '.AP Photo won't strike," said Steve Close, a Colorado farmer with headquarters in a Washington hotel. After crossing the District of Colum- bia line, farmers driving in from Maryland were to meet with those ap- proaching from Virginia for a rally at the Washington monument. Farmers representing Georgia, Delaware and Colorado were to speak. SHEEPSKIN COATS and VESTS NOW 50% OFF HOLIDAY GIFT ITEMS Now 25% Off Persian House of imports 320 E.
