Last Friday, the Detroit Free Press ran a photo of one of Playboy photographer David Chan's aspiring models, Caprice Wolter. Al- though Chan has since left town, he has left his imprint on the minds of at least one set df parents in northern Michigan. Caprice is an exact double of their 20-year-old daughter, and the unfortunate co-ed, who asked not to be identified, is distraught over the mix-up, as are her unbelieving parents. So Caprice dear, help your double out - your look- alike requests that you send as photo of yourself to the Daily City Desk before her parents disown her. " Reverse discrimination Affirmative action programs for minorities and women could grind to a complete halt, according to Law School Dean Theodore St. Antoine, if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down a "special ad- missions" program at a California University. The University of California-Davis Medical School case, which the court has agreed to rule on, is basically a question of reverse discrimination aaginst WASP- ish types. St. Antoine said Wednesday an adverse decision in the Supreme Court could have the ef- fect of "virtually eliminating" minority enroll- ment, especially among blacks and Chicanos, at the nation's law, medical and other selective pro- fessional schools. The ruling could also hurt insti- tutional hiring policies he said, virtually wiping out the gains of affirmative action programs over the past decade.

According to the federal agency's survey of fourth, fifth and sixth grade children, nearly one half of them consider themselves "ongoing users of alcohol." The study was done in 11 unidentified communities on tV west coast, where eight per cent of the students drink at least once a week, and the majority of fourth graders had had at least one experience - good or bad - with alcohol. Since it is unlikely that the owner of the corner store is going to hand over the liquor elixir to the kiddies in exchange for piggy bank pennies, the study concludes that mom, dad, big brother or big sis are responsible for much of the elementary school-age drinking.

Quiet tension clouds Birmingham By JENNIFER MILLER and BARBARA ZAHS Special to the Daily BIRMINGHAM - The last patches of snow glistened in the afternoon sun outside Adams Elementary School. A group of bois- terous third graders filled the playground, taking turns on the slide and fighting for a place on the swings. Less than 100 yards away, the school flag flew at half-mast in front of the red brick building in memory of sixth grader Timothy King, the seventh victim in a series of unsolved child slayings which has shocked suburban Oakland County. BIRMINGHAM residents took extra precautions yesterday for the safety of their own children following the discovery of Tim's body Tuesday in a shallow ditch in Livonia. Cars lined the narrow street opposite Adams School at dismissal time as parents nervously waited for their children to emerge from the building. "The children are so anxious," Sandra Butzel said as she Udall denot Beicher lea] enudorses ma By JULIE ROVNER Congressman Morris Udall (D- Ariz.), yesterday endorsed in- c u m b e n t Democrat Albert Wheeler for the upcoming April - 4 mayoral election in response to a piece of campaign litera- '.ture, using Udall's name, dis- tributed by Republican candi- date Louis Belcher. "In a tough, controversial, oft- en thankless job," Udall said in a telegram toA Wheeler cam- paign staff member, "Mayor Wheelerrhas tried to do what is " right for the citizens of Ann Arbor. I believe he deserves re- election to another term." UdlTHE ENDORSEMENT was the indirect result of a piece of SACUA reviews 23 for Rhodes' position By DAVID GOODMAN Twenty-three persons - nine from within the University - are under consideration to replace Frank Rhodes as Michigan's vice-president for academic affairs. Rhodes will take overbtheupresidency of Cornell University and is expected to leave by July 1. "We are just now receiving nominations," said Prof. Brymer Williams, chairman of the Senate Advisory Committee on Uni- versity Affairs (SACUA). President Robben Fleming assigned the nine-member faculty group to screen applicants for the post after Rhodes announced his resignation February 16. The names of all applicants are being kept confidential. President Fleming set a deadline of April 30 for nomina- tions to reach his office, and asked SACUA to give him a list of five or six finalists by "mid May." Fleming's office has ad- vertised the post in The Chronicle of Higher Education and The Black Scholar, and has notified several national women's academic groups of the opening. Williams said SACUA would include student, woman and minority representatives in the search process. He said the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA), the Women's Commission, and the Minority Commission are being encouraged to nominate people for the vice-presidential post. He stated that SACUA has not yet worked out details for student, minority, and women's participation in the actual screen- ing process, but promised all three groups would be "consulted."

She said she still allows her sonto play outside, but added, "I have to see him out of the window or know he's inside in a neighbor's house." SOME OF THE parents waiting outside the school had chil- dren who knew the King boy. "My son was good friends with Timmy," Polly Coltman said, crying softly. "They played together (last) Wednesday afternoon." Timothy King's parents reported him missing ,that evening when he failed to return home from a nearby pharmacy. Colter said that prior to the disappearance and murder of the 11-year-old, she permitted her son to walk home alone from school. Now, she insists on driving him or having him walk home with a large group of children.

The literature, which contained an endorsement from Parker Pennington IV, a Belcher campaign worker who worked for Udall during his 1976 presidential bid, was headlined "from Udall . . . to Belcher." Pennington's endorsement com- pared Udall's character to Bel- .cher's. Belcher took the Udall en- dorsement lightly. "Actually, I think it's kind of funny, and Wheeler is sure going to need all the endorsements he can get. "I have no problems at all with the piece," he said. "It's certainly not misleading, unless people can't read." PENNINGTON was 'nce a neighbor of Belcher. "We were getting a lot of calls at Democratic headquar- ters asking if Udall had en- dorsed Belcher," said Connie LaClair, president of Students for Wheeler and recipient of the telegram.

'U' WON'T PENALIZE STUDENT STRIKERS: Dorm rent late, fine By ANNE GERTISER Dorm residents who placed their money in escrow in sympathy with the recent AFSCME strike can breathe a sigh of re- lief. University Housing Director John Feld- kamp said yesterday that students who have been assessed fines for not getting their rent in on time because of the strike won't have to pay them. Late fines can be can- celled with a mere walk to the Student Activities Building and a normal-fee rent check made out to the University in hand. STUDENTS, according to Tenants' Un- ion (TU) representative Peter Downs, may leave their money in escrow or delay pay- ment if they think the University should reimburse them for services curtailed by the strike. Feldkamp was not encouraging on the question or rebates. "To date, only one rebate has been rec- ognized - the vegetarian meals for Alice Lloyd weren't 'served'" he said. "There will probably be an adjustment for that. Stu- dents should go to their building director. They're the initial collectors of tnformation. The University will make the final decision on the rebate." HOLD CREDITS won't be applied unless the whole tuition bill is not paid by March 31. An injunction filed by TU will be drop- ped if the University does not demand the five-dollar late fee and does not prevent' students from registering for spring term. Downs mentioned that Don Greenspon, a TU lawyer, would represent anyone who thinks he or she deserves-a rebate. "It looks very clear to him (Greenspon) that there is a clause in the contract to rescind any money for services not provided in the con- tract. He thinks there's no way we can lose," Downs explained. Some students who were willing to put their money in escrow could not because they had already sent it to the University'. ... ........... .................... .. ...... ..,..........\.. :.. .....*.............,..:........:....-.-.- . . ..:... Neff: 'U, nota By BOB ROSENBAUM The 26-day strike by campus service and maintenance workers had to be broken, an administrator admitted earlier this week, but the University had no intention to break their union. Chief University negotiator William Neff said he never took the frequent charges of "union-busting" very seriously. "You know, you have two options in settling a strike," Neff said in an interview. "Either you concede to the demands of the union or break the strike." "We certainly weren't going to concede to those high economic demands." The walkout ended at midnight last Sunday after members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Em- ployes (AFSCME Local 1583) ratified a two-year contract with the University. Neff said the administration decided it would simp!y wait out the strike, seeing what steps AFSCME would take. "'We were disappointed that it had to go on that long," he said. "There are a number of things we could have done to have actively gone out and broken the strike," Neff mused. "We didn't go out and make an appeal to the membership. We didn't say, 'Hey, union-buster The negotiator said he had dealt with AFSCME as with any other union: "fairly, but firmly." "Some people interpret firmness to be a negative attitude toward the union. It clearly - in our opinion - is not." Neff maintained that the union placed itself in a destructive situation, and despite many opportunities to get out, AFSCME leaders insisted on plunging deeper into trouble. "We all thought we had an agreement on Feb.. 15," Neff said See NEFF, Page 7 'U' fres 16 strikers; AFSCME. to protest The University announced late yesterday that it is discharg- ing 16 employes for their "serious "misconduct" in connection with the 26-day strike by campus service workers.
