What's your problem?
Bet you never knew it until now - you've
always had a secret craving to work at The
Daily! Remember those nightmares you had as
a small child in which you ran through the night,
seeking security in the sound of dark, pounding
machines? Hell, that just meant you wanted to
be near our Associated Press wire! And the time
you tripped and hurt yourself in front of an ad-.
vertising agency, only to get yourself put up there
for the afternoon until your mother came to pick
you up? YoW subconscious was telling you to join
The Daily business staff when you got a little
older. And the themes you wrote in the sixth
grade about being a great big basketball play-
er or an Olympic swimmer? Just the start of a
stint on The Daily sports staff. Why be unhappy
any longer? Come to The Daily mass meeting
next Tuesday, January 25, at 9:00 p.m., or watch
this space for the times of some dorm get-togeth-
ers next week. Let your subconscious be your
guide.

Hua still around
An official Chinese spokesperson dismissed re-
ports Tuesday that former Vice Premier Teng
Hsiao-Ping has become China's premier.. "The
premier of the state council is comrade Hua Kuo-
Feng," the spokesperson said. He said the report
of Teng's appointment, which appeared in the
Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao, was absolutely
groundless. For the past week wall posters have
demanded the rehabilitation of Teng, who was
purged last April and brandedh a rightwing "cap
italist roader." Some posters have called for Teng
to be made premier.

Mood of the campus
Turbulence will return to the nation's college
campuses - but it will come from teachers
rather than students, a man who saw much of
the campus violence a decade ago said yester-
day. "I see more turbulence," said Dr. Clark
Kerr, president of the University of California
at the height of 1960s antiwar demonstrations.
Kerr, basing his forecast on the results of a survey
of 25,000 U. S. university teachers published yes-
terday, said tension on campuses will increase as
teachers become more willing to strike to get
their demands. Meanwhile, the same survey
showed college students have become more con-
servative about executions (only 36 per cent be-
lieve capital punishment should be abolished) and
busing (74 percent oppose it), but are more lib-
eral about women's equality and marijuana -
55 per cent of the nation's undergraduates believe
the weed should be legalized.

Hayden sees new
movement rsing
By ROBERT WALT
"A grass roots movement of economic democracy is
growing in this country, rising out of the frustration of the
shadow of the -1960's," said Tom Hayden, speaking to a
standing-room-only crowd at Rackham Auditorium last night.
Hayden, a former Daily editor, founder of the Students
for a Democratic Society (SDS), and activist in the civil
rights and anti-war movements, spoke of a new way of
dealing with our traditional national problems.
"THE UNITED States is coming out of an age of expan-
sionism and is finding out that the old way of dealing with
problems no longer works," said Hayden.
Sporting what he would call his "non sellout" clothes,
Hayden looked as casual as the colleagues he addressed.
"College grads can't find work, the middle class dream
is crumbling, and the sick cannot get health care," he said.
"While all this goes on, everyone is demanding more.
"THE POOR are still poor but now they demand more

Blacks protest Senate
Judicars decision
By JEFF RISTINE
Special to The Daily
WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee
yesterday approved the nomination of Judge Griffin
Bell as U.S. attorney general, a move one civil rights
activist called "a battle cry of attack on black Amer-
ica.
The vote of consent for president-elect Carter's
choice as the nation's chief law enforcement officer was
10-3, with Michigan's Democratic Sen. Donald Riegle
voting "present."
IN A FINAL day of hearings before the committee, Bell was
criticized again and again by black witnesses who attacked his
record on civil rights as a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals judge
and his membership in private clubs which exclude black and
Jewish persons.
The head of Washington's NAACP, Clarence Mitchell, said he
was disappoin'ted by the outcome of the committee vote, and

vowed to continue the fight
against Bell by attempting to
block formal approval in the
full Senate.
The Senate is scheduled to
meet today shortly after Carter
is sworn into office to confirm
tOf annointment of his cabinet
selections, all of whom have
now been cleared by appro-
priate committees.
SADAT GIVES IN TO MOB:
Cairo
By AP and Reuter
CAIRO - President Anwar
Sadat, confronted by violent
demonstrations which left many
people dead, injured and ar-
rested, yesterday suspended
government-ordered price in-
creases on several key com-
modities.
Authorities ordered a 14-hour
curfew in several cities and
gave riot police orders to shoot
anyone outside without a pass.
Four hours after the curfew
went into effect at 4 p.m. po-
lice reported they were still
battling demonstrators at sev-
eral locations, one near the
People's Assembly in Cairo and
another at a string of nightclubs
on the road to the Pyramids.
IN THE DOWNTOWN area
of Cairo, however, streets were
generally quiet. There was no
vehicle traffic, though a few
people walked about.
The reported deaths tonight
brought the unofficial fatality
toll to 30 with some 400 in-
jured.
In the Cairo suburbs of Shu-
bra and Babel Shareya, eye-
witnesses said anti-riot squads
opened firetand used tear gas
bombs on thousands of rioters
during six hours of post-cur-
few fighting in the two suburbs,
the poorest and m1ost densely
populated in Cairo.
' Firemen and ambulances con-
verged on the areas, described
by one witness as a "battle-
front."

Sadat, who has been pressing
richer Arab nations for more
financial aid for his impover-
ished country, returned to Cairo
from the winter resort of As-
wan to deal with the crisis.
THE DEPUTY prime minister
for economic affairs, Abdel Mo-
neim Kaissouni, who was re-
sponsible for the price increas-
es, submitted his resignation
'but it was immediately refused
by Prime Minister Mamdouh
Salem.
The riots broke out Tuesday
after the government ended
price subsidies on many items,
jumping prices on food, gaso-
line, cigarettes and other prod-
ucts. Most of the increases
amounted to only pennies, but
they would total a sizeable per-
centage of the average Egyp-
tian's monthly ,salary of $80.
A quarter of this goes for hous-
ing, education, medicine, cloth-
ing and utilities, leaving $60
for food and all other items.
By giving in to the demon-
strators' demands, Sadat again
opened the question of whether
Egypt can make the necessary
reforms to put its economic
house in order.

WASHINGTON (P) - A rare
annual decline in grocery prices
helped hold inflation in 1976 to
the lowest rate in four years,
the government reported yester-
day.
Year-end figures from the La-
bor Department showed consum-
er prices rose a moderate four-
tenths of 1 per cent in Decem
ber. For the year, they were up
4.8 per cent.
THIS WAS the best annual
price perfor fanc o the economy
has shown since 1972, when gov-
ernment-wage price controls
held increases to 3.4 per cent.
It also was a sharp improve-
ment from the seven per cent
increase redorded in 1975 arnd

Falling prices for beef, pork
and poultry led a nine-tenths per
cent drop in grocery prices last
year, the first over-the-year da

ment said. In 1975, grocery
