HURON VALLEY National
Bank personnel assistant Maria
Spooner said seven out of the
bank's 78 eligible employes are
taking advantage of the savings
the bus pass program offers.
But some employes AATA has
asked to consider the program-
including Michigan Bell, The
Ann Arbor News, and the Ann
Arbor City Government - have
not responded with the support
the program needs to get off
the ground.
City Administrator Sylvester
Murray said free bus passes are
being offered to city employes.
However, several other admini-
strators and city employes knew
little or nothing of the program.
"I'M NOT AWARE of it (a
city bus pass program) if they
are (offering it)," said City
Treasurer John Bentley.
"I haven't heard anything
about it," said one city office
employe. "I really don't know
of any program," said another.
Ann Arbor News Personnel Di-
rector Bruce Moore also said he
know nothing of a bus pass pro-
gram.
A Michigan Bell spokesperson
said its employes have rejected
a proposed bus pass program.
GUENTHER SAID he was un-
aware of the lack of interest or
support the passes were receiv-
ing from City Hall, and knew
nothing of Michigan Bell's de-
cision.
"I didn't realize that was go-
ing on," Guenther said. "I'll
get on it right away."
City Council member and may-
oral candidate Louis Belcher
(R-Fifth Ward) said AATA is
not helping to relieve inadequate
downtown employe parking.
"EVERYONE USES the AATA
as a panacea," Belcher said.
"They (AATA) can't move one-
eighth of the people in Ann Ar-
bor."
Belcher cited the "horrible
problems" of the Dial-A-Ride
service as one reason for the
bus pass program's failure. He
said too many stops and out-of-
the way pickups have turned
away customers.
Mayor Albert Wheeler (D) re-
mained optimistic about AATA's
capabilities.
"WE HAVE TO do everything
we can to encourage mass trans-
it," Wheeler said. "We may
have to increase parking struc-
ture rates to encourage the use
of bus services.
"If all of the parking struc-
ture spaces are gone," Wheeler
added, "people will have to ride
the buses."
According to several city of-
ficials, downtown employes ac-
count for the majority of the
: emand for downtown parking.
As a result of the lack of mass

James Boggs spoke next, giv-
ing his views on a range of is-
sues. About California's water
shortage, he remarked, "there
are no more toilets to flush
there." On the Arab oil embar-
go, he said, "We shouldn't have
blamed the Arabs for cutting the
oil; it was their oil."
He also gave an opinion on
U.S. defense spending: "Every

FIFTH WARD Democrat Ju-
dith Hanks won easily over her
truculent opponent, Kenneth
Ludwig, 367-70. Hanks walked
away with the party nomination
in every precinct of the ward.
She was the Democratic candi-
date for Council in 1976, when
she lost to Republican Louis
Belcher.
"I had been very anxious
about this election," said Hanks.
"I was really grateful for this
victory."
Hanks said she harbors no ill-
will against her opponent. "I'd
like to see Ken run again," she
said. "I do respect him. He's
offered to help me with my cam-
paign, and we're meeting next
week to start work for April."
Ludwig refused to comment.
This story was written with
reports from Eileen Daley,
Lani Jordan, Stu McConnell,
