Our government works in strange and wonderful ways. Consider those put- upon federal employes down at Research Triangle, N.C. who are toiling away, rolling thousands of marijuana cigarettes every year. Approximately one ton of the heavenly weed comes nto the Re- search Triangle every year to be rolled in a con- verted cigarette-rolling machine. The stuff, inci- dentally, is good enough to make Brooks Patter- son's eyes red. Some 95 varieties of grass are blended at University of M sstippi research farms before being shipped to North Carolina in crates marked "first class." The joints are then neatly paked - 350 to the can - and shipped off to li- censed "researchers" in the U.S. and Europe. Naturally, officials at the research center are a little uneasy over rumors of rip-offs. You've heard of -Acapulco Gold, Panamanian Red and Jamaican Brown? Get ready for Uncle Sam's Mixed.

Lovejoy warns of atom power tri'eat By ENID GOLDMAN On George Washington's birthday,-1974, Sam Lovejoy toppled a 500-foot steel weather tower - part of a Monta- gue, Massachusetts nuclear power plant project - to the ground. Claiming full responsibility -for "sabotaging that out- rageous symbol of future nuclear power plants," Lovejoy hitched a ride to the police station, submitted a four-page statement about his action, and found himself on the road to national recognition as a hot-blooded opponent of nu- clear power. LOVEJOY VISITED ANN ARBOR this week to tout his message, and told a crowd of 500 in the Michigan Union ballroom last night that, "If we continue to follow the nuclear program we presently have in this country, not only will we have an energy crisis by the mid-1980s, but a See LOVEJOY, Page 2 steel PITTSBURGH (AP) - Lloyd McBride, who left school at age 14 for a fac- tory job, was the apparent. winner over rebel Edward Sadlowski yesterday in the bitter contest for the presi- dency of the United Steel- workers Union (USW). An unofficial survey by the Associated Press (AP) gave the 60-yeartold St. Louis native a 65 per cent plurality with almost 500,- 000 votes cast in the 1.4 million-member union. THE AP figures, compiled from reports from the union's district offices, gave McBride 299 877 votes and Sadlowski 198 472 votes with returns from almost 4,000 of the union's 5,000 locals. Both candidates also kept unofficial returns. Sadlowski's camp disputed the AP totals, claiming its candi- date had 171,531 votes to 166,980 for McBride with 2,170 locals re- porting. "4I THINK there were a lot of questionable figures in the dis- trict offices," said Clem Balan- off;a Sadlowski aide. "The fact is we are holding our own." McBride's staff had its candi- date ahead by 281 632 to 196,263 at 4,529 locals. "We could claim victory now and be safe," McBride said by telephone from his home. "We've agreed we will not make an official claim to victory until tomorrow." SAID RETIRING President 1. W. Abel. who had endorsed McBride: "He has a victory. He might as well call it." McBride's major support came from the South and West, where most of the locals are small ones outside the basic steel in- dustry. In Canada, he took a sizeable 30,000-vote plurality.

Sources have confirmed that this situation does exist within two East Quad halls and one hall in Alice Lloyd. Upon learning this informa- tion, housing director John Feldkamp stated, "My first stance in this matter is to have facul- ty immediately investigated with lease termina- tion being the last resort if the students won't voluntarily stop the practice." FELDKAMP ADDED, "I will not sanction any situation of this kind." He indicated he had learned that investigation has already begun at Alice Lloyd and that he will "share that someone had made this observation of East Quad."

I think, these students are failing to keep the committment made by their predecessors." Alice Lloyd building director Margot Morrow countered, "Since it's been drawn to my atten- tion, I've spoken to staff on the hall and I un- derstand that the situation is under control." ONE STAFF MEMBER on the hall would only say that "it's a real todchy situation" and re- fused to comment any further. "It's been a pain in the butt since the issue broke two years ago," another hall staff mem- ber complained. "We're all aware of the situa- tion and we don't want a big hassle to come down. It's not a big issue here on the hall but I certainly don't want my life put on the line because it it." East Quad building director Lee Kirk affirm- ed that.

"The issue principally is how we hire from within the union" when a job opening appears on campus, Neff said. With an opening in the ranks, University employes have the opportunity to "bid," or try out for that position. The University has a choice of filling the job with someone from within the union, or from without.
