have been receivedsso far. "No nominations have
come from students," he said, and urged students
to submit names for consideration. Two women
are on the list, he stated.

Wait, I'm having a baby
It's better than saying your little brother ate it.
It even tops saying your grandmother papered her
canary's cage with it. Arffaella Nanetti, a Univer-
sity graduate student in Urban and Regional Plan-
ning, landed a postponement of her dissertation
defense this month because she was having a baby.
Nanetti's defense was scheduled for 3 p.m. March
18. But just two hours before her appointment
with her Rackham dissertation committee, nature
called and Nanetti was forced to attend to a rather
pressing matter-namely, the delivery of her child.
"We've given postponements on defenses for a
number of reasons in the past," said dissertation
secretary Mary Anne Wilkinson, "but never for a
reason like this." Nanetti has not been rescheduled
by the dissertation committtee so, for the time
being, the defense rests.

Marriage wrecking
New York Gov. Hugh Carey has been accused
by his more critical observers of playing a hand
in financially breaking his state's biggest city.
And, like a good, tough politician, he has taken
the criticism gracefully. But Carey's not accus-
tomed to being accused of breaking a marriage.
In a speech last weekend to a group of Demo-
cratic party women, the Democrat governor said
there were no Republican women in the state
legislature. Republican Assemblywoman Mary
Goodhue of Westchester disagrees. "If this keeps
up," she said to Carey in a letter, "you are go-
ing to get me- in deep trouble with my husband
who, for almost three years, has seen his Re-
publican wife go off to Albany faithfully every
Monday to represent her constituents. Now he
reads in the paper that she never got there.
What's a poor trusting husband to think?" Good
question.

The late Peter Finch captured the best actor title in last night's Academy Awards presentation
for his role as a demented anchorman in the movie "Network."
FINCH, DUNAWAY TAKE ACTING AWARDS:
Best pctu-re
By LAURIE YOUNG
Special To The Daily
DETROIT - The trial of two
nurses accused of poisoning 11
patients at Ann Arbor's Veter-
an's Administration (VA) hospi-
tal began here today as the head
federal prosecutor opened by
stating his case rests primarily
on circumstantial evidence that
is "fascinating, complex and
very confusing."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rich-
ard Yanko outlined his inten-
tions to the 16-member jury and
courtroom crowded with report-
ers and relatives, friends and
co-workers of defendants Fili-
pina Narciso and Leonora Per-
ez.
"THE EVIDENCE is circum-
stantial because in large part
these crimes occurred in a nor-
mal, everyday, sterile setting at
the VA hospital," Yanko said.
"People observed events and
they didn't know what they were
observing. No one said, "You
are about to observe a crime,"
he said.
As the defendants sat expres-
sionless, Yanko told the jury,
"History is in the making -
dark history, criminal history
. . . History which our descend-
ants will look upon with disdain,
as we outline a dreadful series
of happenings."

"Rocky," a touching, sensi-
tive film about a third-rate box-
er who almost captures the
world heavy-weight title, won
the prize for best picture of
1976 in last night's Academy
Awards presentation.
Sylvester Stallone, who wrote
and starred in the Oscar-win-
ning movie, accepted the prize
from actor Jack Nicholson, ded-
icating it "to all the Rockies in
the world."

Council
approves

treatment
proposal
By LANI JORDAN
Despite previous divisions
over various methods of sewage
treatment, Ann Arbor City
Council last night unanimously
approved plans for the city's
new $40 million waste treatment
plant.
Although Couni members
had split during a previous ses-
sion over what method to use
in treating sludge (the final
waste product of sewage treat-
ment) they approved the plan
in its original form rather than
risk losing federal monies which
will fund the new treatment
plan. The city must submit the
plan to state and federal com-
mittees for approval by August
1.

Academy Award posthmusously
last night when he won for the
disgruntled anchorman in the
television satire "Network."
Finch, like the anchorman he
plays, died of a heart attack re-
cently.
His widow accepted the award
and said, "I'll always cherish
this for him. He had said to me
'If I win I want to say thanks
to my fellow, actors who have
given me encouragement . ."
FAYE DUNAWAY won the
best actress Oscar for her role
as the ambitious television pro-
ducer in "Network."
Dunaway said she "didn't ex-
pect this quite so soon."
Other nominees were Talia
Shire for "Rocky," Marie-Chris-
tine Barrault for "Cousin, Cou-
sine," Liv Ulmann for "Face to
Face," Cissey Spacek for "Car-
rie."
JASON ROBARDS, the tough-
minded newspaper editor of "All
the President's Men," and Bea-
trice Straight, the discarded
wife of William Holden in "Net-
work," were named best sup-
porting performers of 1976 at
the 49th Academy Awards last
night.

Experts investigate
Tenerife
jet crash
By AP and Reuter
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE,
Canary Islands - Investigators
probed flight records yesterday
for clues to the cause of the
flaming runway collision of Pan
American and KLM jumbo jets
that killed more people than any
aviation disaster in history.
Airline officials in New York
said 578 persons, most of them
believed to be Americans, died
when the two chartered jets fill-
ed with vactioners collided Sun-
day while preparing to take off
from the fog-shrouded runway.
The dead included all 248 per-
sons aboard the Dutch airliner
and 320 of the 396 aboard the
Pan American jet, officials said.
KLM said four of its passengers
were Americans.
PILES OF c h a r r e d bodies
were stacked up in rows on the
concrete floor of a hangar.
Nurses wearing white protec-
tive face masks tried to sepa-
rate the charred and twisted
limbs.
Piles of wooden coffins stood
at one side.
PAN AMERICAN said most of
its passengers boarded the flight
in Los Angeles for a 10-day Med-
iterranan holiday.
Tenerife Gov. Antonio Oyarza-
bal said the two jetliners struck
nearly head-on as the Dutch
plane sped down the runway for
take off at 150 miles per hour.
Manuel de Prado, president of
Spain's national airline Iberia,
told a news conference the KLM
plane had been ordered to taxi
to the end of the main runway,
turn 180 degrees and prepare
for take off. The Pan American
jet was told to follow the Dutch
plane down the runway, then
turn off onto a taxiway to allow
the lead plane to take off, he
said.
OYARZABAL s a i d officials
did not know whether the Dutch
plane had permission to take
off. "This is a key point of the
investigation," Ozyarzabal said.
Both planes had been diverted
here from Las Palmas after a
bomb blast injured eight persons
at an airport flower shop. A
Canary Island liberation move-
ment claimed credit for the
blast, but disavowed responsibil-
ity for the collision.
De Prado said four other

Candidates prepare
for Aril4battle
in city's FirstWard
By STU McCONNELL
As the First Ward City Council race grinds into its last week,
Democrat Kenneth Latta is guardedly confident, Socialist Human
Rights Party (SHRP) candidate William Wilcox is hopeful, and
Republican Val Jaskiewicz is looking for a light turnout.
All three candidates concede the Republicans will draw about
1200 votes regardless of individual candidates or issues. The race
will hinge on two questions: first, whether the Democrats can turn
out enough votes to top that total; and second, whether the aggres-
sive door-to-door campaign waged by Wilcox will cut significantly
into Latta's liberal vote.
"I KNOW the people are out there," said Wilcox. "Whether
they can be motivated is another matter."
Wilcox criticized both Jaskiewicz and Latta for "inconsistency"
and "lack of a program," adding that "their priorities are more
for getting elected than running a social program."
Whether Wilcox himself can be elected is a matter of debate.
The First Ward has historically been Democratic, but Republican
Wendell Allen wrested a seat from the Democrats last year and
HRP elected a councilperson from the ward four years ago.
JASKIEWICZ HAS chosen not to run an issue-oriented cam-
paign, counting instead on "solid" Republican residential areas to
deliver most of his vote. "In some of those areas, those people
see the name of a Republican down and they vote Republican," he
said simply.
The major issue in the ward, which has a largely student and
low-income housing population, is housing.
Latta sees the city's housing problem as one of supply. "Any
proposal must be considered with regard to how it affects the
supply of reasonably-priced housing," he said. "No one simple
answer presents itself.
LATTA FAVORS zoning changes, tax incentives to both home-
steaders and developers and "an intelligent use of federal housing
dollars." He advocates a complete review of housing and building
codes,but opposes rent control because, he says, it fails to address
the supply problem.
Jaskiewicz wants to build a senior citizens' housing - complex
and a downtown middle-income highrise, proposals advocated by
Republican mayoral candidate Louis Belcher. He opposes rent
control because, he says, it discourages development, but favors
tax incentives for builders.
Wilcox supports city-wide rent control, a "repair and deduct"
ordinance - which would allow tenants to make minor repairs on
best informed guess we can
make."
Although the final vote was
close, most of the discussion was
critical of the new English com-
position plan.
