Neither would anyone else, according to pollster Louis Harris. He testified before a House committee Thursday that most people believe consumer groups, the media, the White House, state and local govern- ments, and farm organizations follow higher eth- ics than do the much-maligned occupants of Cap-. itol Hill. Eighty-seven per cent of those polled agreed with the statement: "Because they hold high offices of'public trust, congressmen should be expeated to maintain higher ethical standards than other people."

"First I got a letter saying I would get the $25 a week, and then two weeks later I, got a letter saying I wouldn't get it because I had a pension," said Flom. "They laid me off because I was 65. Ten dollars a month they give me, and for that I can't collect unemployment."

Committee Chairman Austin Kiplinger announced yesterday that Michigan's Vice-President for Aca- demic Affairs was "a preferred candidate" for the post. A SOURCE close to the committee quoted in the Cornell Sun went further, saying Rhodes was the only candidate still being seriously considered by the committee. "The fact that he is the only candidate who has been invited here makes him more or less the top I 1 I arch group: candidate," acknowledged search committee mem- ber George Peter, a Cornell employe. "He is the person the trustee committee is favor- ing." added Prof. Donald Holcomb, another search group member. HOWEVER, Holcomb cautioned, "We have no commitment to him. He has no commitment to us." 'When contacted last night, Rhodes indicated he planned to visit Cornell, adding, "We haven't worked out the exact details." He refused to comment on the degree of his in- terest in the presidential post, however: "You heard what I said the other night (Wednesday). I have nothing further to say at this time." THE DECISION to invite Rhodes to Cornell came e want Rhodes at the search committee's Thursday meeting in New York City. Committee member Lauryn Guttenplan, a Cornell student, attributed the group's preference for Rhodes to "his enthusiasm about confronting new challenges as president, especially now, when many private schools have to compete for students." Cornell Uni- versity is a semi-private institution, with some pub- lic colleges. Holcomb said Rhodes fulfilled all the criteria the committee originally set for the new Cornell presi- dent. He gave these as: " a history of "emersion in the academic en- terprise"; * knowledge of the role and purpose of the uni- versity; " administrative experience; " a capacity for leadership; See CORNELL, Page 5 Rhodes: He's 'number one' 200 INJURED AS RUSH-HOUR 'EL' PLUMMETS Chicago train crash kills 16 CHICAGO - At least 16 persons were killed and 200 injured when an elevated rush-hour commtter train plowed into the end of an- other stopped on the tracks, sending cars and passen- gers spilling onto the street below.

See FIVE, Page 8 By ELIZABETH KRAFT Despite Governor Milliken's energy saving warning, a Daily survey reveals that nost cam- pus mierchants have refused -to cut their store hours; opting in- stead to dial down thermostats and take other cold weather precautions. Of 13 campus area businesses surveyed, only three have re- sponded to Milliken's Wednes- day plea to cut store hours. FOLLETT'S Book Store, Lo- gos Book Store and Jacobson's have scheduled a reduction in selling hours totalling 23 hours per week. However, other busi- nesses assert that a reduction in hours would result in temporary layoffs. "I'm taking this a step at a time," Village Corner Manager Dick Scheer explained. "We've turned down the thermostats and built a double door on our main entrance. "If we have to curtail hours, it's going to cause some unem- ployment. I think I'll wait for an order or at least for a little firmer jawboning from the gov- ernmentdbefore we cut hours," he added., IN THE meantime, Logos will be losing 15 hours of business as it moves up its weekday closing times from 11 to 9 p.m., and 9:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays. The reduced hours will be maintained "until the crunch is over," said Logos manager Doug Hardwick. Follett's will open a half-hour later and close a half-hour ear- lier starting Monday, resulting in a six-hour cutback. "THAT MAY be modified," noted manager Anse Cates, "based on further energy devel- opments and the reaction of oth- er businesses in the area. If we can get our clientele interested in a five-day week and if our competitors - Ulrich's and Uni- versity Cellar - go to it, we'll go to it." One of Ulrich's owners, How- ard Baker, however, said the store had no plans to curtail hours. "But we'll do whatever the government tells us to," he added. "We've already cut out our night stock crew; now we do all See IT'S, Page 8 Carter seeks. power tolimit Ibureaucracy By AP and UP'I WASHINGTON - In a first step to redeem a major campaign promise, President Carter asked Congress yesterday for four-year authority to reorganize the federal bureaucracy, subject to vetoes by either the Senate or flouse. Carter is seeking the authority available to each President since Harry Truman in the early 1950s. CARTER SAID the plan would provide "an efficient way for Congress and the President to work together to streamline our government." The legislation would authorize Carter to prdpose reorganization plans that would automatically take effect unless vetoed by either branch of Congress within 60 days.
