Rape suspect
Robert Finklea, a suspect in an Oct. 13 mugging
which occurred during a rash of assaults on local
women last semester, was bound over for trial
yesterday on an unarmed robbery charge. Fifteenth
District Court Judge George Alexander ordered
Finklea to appear in Circuit Court on Feb. 10. Fink-
lea will also sand trial on an unrelated rape charge
of a woman acquaintance on Jan. 2. Two witnesses
appeared in court to identify Finklea as the man
they saw attack an Oxford Housing resident at the
corner of South University and Oxford Streets on
the night of Oct. 13. The attacker apparently
dropped a pack of cigarettes and rolling papers,
and police later matched the finger prints on the
items to Finklea's.

it's not what he said, it's how he said it. Uni-
versity of Florida President Robert Marston this
week, in a pep talk to faculty predicting a "major
leading role" for the school in solving national
hardships, commented: "If we look like the Uni-
versity of Michigan ten years from now, I think
we've failed (in our) aspiration for greatness."
Same to you, Robert.

New Jersey Humane Society officials ruffled their
feathers this week over what they feel is a clear
case of cruelty to an animal - dropping a raccoon
in a parachute from 1,500 feet. A Society director
said they may file complaints against county work-
ers who engineered the stunt in 1972 - throwing
the masked beastie out of a helicopter with a
parachute made of burlap bags. The official said
the animal was tossed out a second time after
surviving the first landing, again making a suc-
cessful touchdown. One of the perpetrators of the
incident claimed the raccoon suffered only "hu-
mility", but the Society is calling it animal abuse
just the same. Insiders said helicopters also
dropped live chickens overboard in 1971 - with-
out parachutes.

A call. for crime?
Michiganders apparently have nothing to fear,
but following President Carter's thermostat re-
duction plea in some states could land energy-
conscious citizens in the slammer. Dropping your
thermostat to 65 degrees is illegal in parts or all
of several states - including New York City, where
landlords complying with the White House request
face fines of up to $1,000 and a year in jail. (They
used to do it to save money, not energy.) Laws in
Philadelphia,- Connecticut and the District of Co-
lumbia also forbid settings below 68 for many
types of dwellings. The problem is all rather aca-
demic. since virtually no one seems willing to with-
stand Jimmy's shivering suggestion. But it hasn't
been long since the last time some men found
themselves in jail for following presidentialorders.

Central Campus Plan is nebulous and allows adminis rators to call
upon it whenever it serves their own ends.
They point to the fact that the plan directs administrators to
review the campus' needs and develop models and drawings every
few years. In the case of Barbour-Waterman, lit le such review has
taken place in recent years.
THE GROUPS fighting the administrators hope to force the
University to submit to a feasibility study, conducted by experts.
Larry Finfer, Environmen al Review coordinator for the Mich-
igan State Historical Division: "This office contests the University
studies. Our definition of a feasibility study is more detailed. Out-
side parties should be involved, preferably someone not connected
in any way to the controversy and i s outcome. I question whether
the University is capable of such a study.
"As part of the maneuvering," Finfer continued, "the admin-
istration has made no absolute, specific declaration as to what
this land would be used for. By not making this decision, they
have effectively prevented any ou' -of-University agency from be-

Moyers CIA 'chief?9
WASHINGTON (P) - Bill Moyers, a former top aide to Presi-
dent Lyndon Johnson, is reported to be a front runner for director
of the CIA, government sources said yesterday. But White House
Press Secretary Jody Powell discouraged speculation about the
choice.
Moyers' employer, CBS News, said he authorized the station
to say he is out of the country filming a documentary and that "he
has not been offered a job in the Carter administration by the
President or, anyone claiming to represent the President. He is
not contending for any job."
POWELL HAD SAID President Carter might announce his
choice for the job this week. But he said yesterday night: "I don't
think you should 'definitely assume there will be an announce-
ruent before the end of this week . . .
"With regard to speculation about a new CIA director, it's a
little early to be speculating about that, and I-think if you did, I
think you'd get yourself into an embarrassing situation.

themselves without fear that
this action would bring intra-
state lines under federal regu-
lation or release interstate lines
from such regulation.
Interstate pipelines are regu-
lated by the Federal Power
Commission, while intrastate
lines - those operating within
a single state - are not.
Carter told a news conference
the gas shortage caused by the
abnormally c6ld weather has
closed some 4,000 plants and
forced layoffs of an estimated
400,000 people.
HE SAID he was urging Con-
gress to act immediately but
warned that "this bill will not
end the shortages, will not,im-
prove the weather, and will not
solve the, unemployment prob-
lems."
He again urged all Americans
to turn down their thermostats
to 65 degrees Fahrenheit during
the day and.lower at night, say-
ing that such conservation could
eliminate half of the present
natural gas shortage.
Shortages of natural gas and
other fuels continued to worsen
yesterday in the Midwest and
East as a new cold wave surg-
ed southward out of Canada.
Several states faced severe en-
ergy shortages.

iSpice o life: Pro jectiornst
plan
By BRIAN BLANCHARD
Dorm residents are taking a
long look at their bank accounts,
but the consensus seems to be
that the inconveniences of the
proposed weekend meal consoli-
idation plan- will outweigh the
cash benefits.
The plan, suggested by the
University's Housing Rate Study
Committee, would send some
dormitory dwellers to neighbor-
ing residence halls for their
weekend meals.
ROOM AND board rates are
scheduled to go up by 8.4 per
cent next fall, but if the food
consolidation plan is approved,
the hike will be 7.6 per cent - a
"savings" of $12 per student.
"Twelve dollars isn't very sig-
nificant," complained Mosher-
Jordan resident Kathy Knob-
lauch. "Everyone I've talked to
feels the same way."
The University's Housing of-
fice is polling 10 per cent of the
residents in each of the ten
dorms that would be affected by
the plan to obtain student senti-
ments on the proposed consoli-
dation.
THE RESULTS of the survey
will be considered before the
consolidation decision is fin-
alised.
ices, with whom the final ver-
dict rests. If approved, the pro-
gram would send diners from
Alice Lloyd to Couzens, Mosher-
Jordan to Markley, and from
West Quad to South Quad each
Saturday and Sunday beginning
in September.
MARGOT MORROW, director
of Alice Lloyd Hall and the Pi-
lot Program, said she is con-
vinced Di Mattia will abide by
the students'amandate, but add-
ed that Di Mattia's decision will
depend on how the survey re-
sults are interpreted.
Morrow suggested that the
votes of residents from Alice
Lloyd, Mosher-Jordan and West
Quad - those students who
would be forced to eat week-
end meals at other dorms-be
given more weight than votes
of residents of the remaining
dorms.
She added that the shift is
"not worth doing for the amount
of money."
Meanwhile, more than 30 stu-
dents at West Quad were grum-
bling about the consolidation
plan.

Even with Governor William Milliken's recent
hefty pay hike, the highest paid public employee
in the state is still University President Robben
Fleming.
Fleming, whose salary exceeds that of the gov-
ernor by more than $15,000, will earn $71,429 this
year. Milliken will take home $55,000.
DEFENDING his earnings, Fleming said: "I

Milliken recently received a $7,750 raise from
the State Officers Compensation Commission, but
he is not expected to accept the entire amount.

portion of his $3 700 raise this year, and Regents
Laro, Robert Nederlander (D-Birmingham), and
Sarah Power (D-Ann Arbor) concurred that such
