The Secret Service men stared right back. In a job that takes them to the far corners of the world, surveillance and "just looking around" makes up the bulk of their work. THE JOB ISN'T confined to protecting high-powered presidents, visiting chiefs-of-state and some cabinet members. Several of the visiting agents normally work long hours in- vestigating counterfeiting operations in the 65 cities across the country that house Secret Service bureaus. One of the body guards, who would not reveal his iden- tity, was on assignment from the Los Angeles counterfeiting detail. He -said the Ann Arbor visit was "almost like a vaca- tion." Working hard in L.A. for three months hasn't left him with much. of a social life. He showed just what "hard" means when he explained that in the 12 years he has been on the job protecting politicians and chasing counterfeiters he has put in 15 years worth of 40-hour work weeks. His duties have taken him to China for a month as part of the advance team for former President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to Peking. He says he was "lured" into the Secret Service by the opportunity to travel on the job. FOR ALL THE travel and excitement the job becomes a routine one, and one agent characterized the trip as "tire- some after a while." During their stay here, Secret Service men spent a lot of time holding up walls. By PATTY MONTEMURRI "The job is just like an yother job," said another guard, "The job is just like any other job," said another guard, to smile, but as he leaned against a door a grin spread across his face for a moment. A career as a presidential bodyguard strains marital relationships. The late. hours and frequent trips leave little time for homelife and as a result many of the agents are young and single. Most of the agents are in their late 20's, and all of them have college degrees. "IT TAKES A very understanding woman" to tolerate the constant travel and long work-days, the Californian said. The ranks of the Secret Service have doubled since 1968 when Congress extended protection to include presidential candidates. About 50 women have joined the 1650 member force in the last five years. There was the usual chauvinistic reaction to women doing a "man's job." But the L.A. agent admitted. after witnessing the women work, "there are some I wouldn't mind going through a door with." PROTECTING Betty Ford is no different than guarding Jimmy Carter, said obe agent. To insure the safety of all his wards, the agent has to take the same precautions with each. And "you don't let your political beliefs (about a par- ticular candidate) influence your job" the Detroiter said. The bodveuards won't admit to having any favorite charges. If you like working hard and long, enjoy travelling, living, in hotels and flying on airplanes, then you mightlike being a Secret Service agent, he explained-"provided, of 'course, you pass the security check, the oral and written exams and the physical requirements. And he added, not too, many do.

His responses tended to confirm material which students had read during the course of the term, K i n g d o n said, noting, "That, in and of itself, is im- portant. Students need to know the readings are accurate." Not all instructors were as en- thusiastic, however. "I FEEL THAT he just didn't convey very much -information to our students," said Political Science Prof. David Singer. Singer had criticized the po- litical science department in De- cember for extending the visit- ing professorship invitation to Ford. He said the invitation was 0 *merely a "public relations deci- sion." "I feel now that my reserva- tions turned out to be justified," ~ said Singer, who was present * I v-hen Ford addressed a class in' world politics yesterday. "I FOUND his r e 's pons es alarming," he said. "Either he ing what he termed "naive" and "badly articulated" questions.' He said Ford "knocked every. one of (the questions) out of the' park. He was in the slow-pitch league." .Singer was also critical of thei manner in which Ford answered questions at a faculty luncheon Wednsday. "He fielded them; with the kind of skill you'd ex- pect from a long-time Congress- man--he failed to answer any of them." SINGER admitted, however, that Ford has "a number of saving graces." But he said he still has doubts about the worth of the ex-president's visits. "Despite the real advantages and gains, there were some problems," Singer said. "We, can't overlook them." HE ADDED that although he was the only skeptic prior to Ford's visit, he believes theret are "four or five" colleagues who join in his dissatisfaction. Bill McGee, a teaching assist-c ant in the introductory Ameri- can politics course, said he "wasn't that impressed" withF the former president's appear- ance before that class on Wed-s nesday. "I don't think there's a great deal to be learned from SO-min- ute , question and answer ses- sions.' HE SAID A seminar format might have enhanced the valuee of the visit. McGee said he thought the 3001 students in the class' enjoyedr the visit nonetheless. But he added, "In terms of what theyc learned, I don't think it wass that extensive."b He criticized Ford for using his appearance to lash out at Students, too, had mixed feel- ings about the ex-presideit's campus stay. "It was worthwhile," sopho- more Jeff Lieberman said, "but it wasn't spectacular. I kind of got caught up in the aura of the thing while he was there." "I WISH that he could have been more inspiring," said jun- ior Rachel Solom.! Eggctmn hits Diag in big bust, Solom recalled. "(I was) really looking into his eyes, seeing his realness. "Maybe that is why I was so depressed afterwards-the inter- action was so smooth, he was so real. Solom said Ford was "pleas- ant, informative, knowledga- ble."

Contest- ants were not permitted to spend more than $10 on their creations. Participants were also not allowed to use parachutes or anything the judges thoughtt re- sembled a parachute. LANDING THEIR egg safely was the easy part for some con- testants. One contestant's egg survived the four - story fall, but his device shattered when it hit the ground. He was disqualified. Another broke his egg while proving to the judges it was intact. He was allowed to participate in the second round. After one unlucky inventor's contraption hit the earth, one spectator observed a "viscous yellow, dripping fluid" oozing onto the blacktop. "It broke," another observed. after seeing his device's shat- tered cargo slowly flowing along. the ground. BUT CONTEST winner junior Vance Lorenzana's device earn- ed. him a dinner for two at the Flaming Pit as well,. as his name engraved on a plaque which will be displayed in West. Engineering. The mechanical, engineering student explained that he de- signed his contraption to work like an -'automobile piston. It consisted. of two thin metal tubes - one inside the other- filled with water to absorb the landing's impact. The egg was carried inside a padded can on top of the device. One of the more intricate creations was Stuart Landay's geodesic dome. The engineering freshman placed his egg in a sock suspended from wooden rods and rubber bands con- nected to a wire ring. THE EGG survived both trips, but two of the rods broke, one on each landing. Engineering freshman Chip Pedersen utilized principles of aerodynamics in his "Egg Beater" - two wooden rotors which twirled his egg safely to the ground. Non - engineering students managed to earn several ,of the contest's prizes. Senior Art student Peter Scurlock's foam rubber hamburger sculpture earned him a two-dollar fifth prize. LSA sophomore Kim Weimer won a three - dollar fourth prize while medical stu- dent Paul Gleich captured a large pizza for his third place entry. The non - engineering stu- dent's monopoly on the prizes was broken by two senior chemical engineering students calling themselves the "Ko- mecs." The Komecs' corru- gated box earned the inventors a dinner for two. :95 PINBALL, BILLIARDS, and BOWLING 1 7 WE'RE OPEN 10 til 5:30 p.m. Open 'til 1 a.m. Tonight At the UNION I m r{ j j it t y l s Sunday Spel 4pmtopm 1/2 Chicken, Ranch Fries cl THE WUJS INSTIT Here's a way for college graduates to experience Israel in a comprehensiveone-year study/work programme.
