Roy, of Shef- field, England, made the mistake of going to a stag party first. Then, on the way to bride-to-be Althea Higson's home, he dropped the wedding cake on her front lawn. But his biggest mistake came in the shouting match that followed, when he dropped Althea's mother with a quick right cross to the jaw. Althea promptly dropped him. She said saidthe wedding was offhand she never wanted to see Roy again. "If he had hit me in- stead of my mother, I probably would have mar- ried him all the same," Althea muttered, "but I'm not having any man hitting my mum."

Speed r( By JENNIFER MILLER Effective Reading Systems, Inc., the speed reading company currently recruiting students here to enroll in its classes, may be slapped with a lawsuit by Evelyn Wood Reading Dynam- ics. Lani Sussman, director of group sales for Evelyn Wood in Michigan, said the suit is be- ing filed because Effective Reading's advertis- ing "is practically identical" to Evelyn Wood's. "AND THEIR SUPPLIES are identical," said Sussman. Sussman added that only one of Effective Reading's employes ever taught for Evelyn This contradicts advertising that has circulated the campus claiming that the firm is "A com- pany of former Evelyn Wood Reading Dynam- ics' Instructors."

"MRS. SUSSMAN has libeled and slandered us," he said. "If our advertising is the same as theirs, how come ours is copyrighted?" Sussman said she had been contacted by one of Effective Reading's attorneys. "He told me to keep my mouth sht, in so many words," she said. "He said that I was interfering in their rights of free enterprise." way they go about it." According to Sussman the attorney was a "copyright attorney," who came to Evelyn Wood to "check out our copyrighted things so that they could use them." Milstein argues that Evelyn Wood is sim- ply "out to wreck our credibility," and claims Sussman has called several newspapers to in. form them about Effective Reading. BUT SUSSMAN SAID the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) student newspaper, The East- ern Echo, in fact called her to inquire about the credibility of the company. "EMU called -me several times," she said. Although Effective Reading Systems claims to have locations in five major cities, a check of lawsuit their phone numbers in Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Detroit revealed only answering services. Milstein explained the lack of offices as a wish of the company to keep costs down. "We didn't need to take blood from the students by having a big overhead," he said. "But we will have offices in Detroit in the next two or three weeks." O!HILE EFFECTIVE READING has been in existence for only eight months, they claim that "college professors, teachers, businesspersons, artists, attorneys, engineers, M.D.'s etc." have taken their course. And Milstein claims their readi g service will be "world wide pretty soon. )K's majority rule Crowd to rate. the candidates By JIM TOBIN A new development in the Michigan Band-Communist Par- ty saga emerged yesterday with the announcement that this Saturday's band performance will include an "applause meter" rating of crowd support for Communist Party presidential can- didate Gus Hall. Not only Hall will be rated by crowd applause, but Presi- dent Ford and Jimmy Carter as well. After the band performs a series of skits and songs focusing on the presidential elec- tion, a group of band members will form an applause meter. When the crowd cheers for each candidate, the drum major will direct the "meter needle" to move accordingly. REGARDING THE INCLUSION of Hall's name in the per- ee READING, Page 7 plan Cabinet to vote today By AP and Reuter SALISBURY, Rhodesia - Sec- retary of State Henry Kissinger was reported yesterday to be carrying the word to black Afri- can leaders that Prime Minister Ian Smith has accepted the prin- ciple of rule by Rhodesia's black majority within 18 months to two years. Smith spent 31 hours outlining to his cabinet the proposals of- fered to him at his Sunday meet- ing with Kissinger. Smith said the cabinet would study the plan before deciding on its position today. "I HAVE suggested we sleep on it, even dream about it, and come back tomorrow and have a clearer concept," Smith said after the meeting. "That's all that matters. We are dealing with the lives of people. "You cannot accept big pro- posals in a rush. We are going to take our time." He added that the final de- cision to accept or reject would emerge after a scheduled brief- ing tomorrow of the Rhodesian Front parliamentary caucus-50 members of the 66-member par- liament. BESIDES A commitment to black majority rule within two years, the British-American plan put before Smith calls for a constitutional conference in Ge- neva; the broadening of the Rhodesian cabinet to include black nationalists, and a $2-bil- lion fund financed by the United States, Britain, South Africa and other nations to compensate whites who leave Rhodesia and See RHODESIAN, Page 2 MSA support GEO By LANI JORDAN With a strike deadline only two weeks away, the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) last night unanimously approved a resolution to support the de- mands of the Graduate Em- ployes Organization (GEO) and to urge all students, faculty and administrators to comply with the GEO to bring about "better relations and further educational quality." MSA Vice-president Amy Blumenthal also stated that the MSA would support any peti- tions circulated on campus to have these demands met. MSA opened its meeting last night with a heated discussion on the influence of Title IX in the annointment of a man or a woman to an opening on the Board in Control of Intercolle- giate Athletics. Title IX refers to a series of guidelines set forth by the De- partment of Health Education See MSA, Page 7 formance, Band Director George Cavender said last night, "We just thought we'd have a little fun with it. We're not ridiculing anybody. We just want to see where the meter reads." Cavender said the election theme was conceived last spring, and that the idea has been used by the band in other presidential election years. He said the Hall addition was made in the past week. This weekend will culminate a series of events which have thrown Cavender and the band into a controversial light. The band's performance for Presi- dent Ford's campus appearance last week generated a suit by the Young Workers Liberation League. The suit, filed by League attorney Alan Kaufman, seeks to compel 25-30 members of the band to play for Hall's apnearance at Hill Auditorium this Friday evening. YESTERDAY the League charged the University with "blatant inconsistency in its various statements trying to jus- tify why it provided services for Gerald Ford while denying the same services to Gus Hall." Kaufman last week filed a "motion for immediate consid- eration," along with the suit, to the Michigan Court of Appeals. Such a motion is made when ac- tion on the suit must be taken before a definite date.

WATERGATE PROSECUTOR INVESTIGATES: Ford campaign records placed under subpoena By AP and Reuter GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-The Watergate special - prosecutor Charles Ruff, has subpoenaed records of Republican commit- tees in President Ford's home- town and of a maritime union that made the largest single contribution to Ford's 1972 con- gressional campaign. Officials of the Kent County GOP said yesterday that records of two county Republican com- mittees going back to 1964 were subpoenaed last month, just after Ford won the GOP nomination, and had been checked by FBI agents acting for the special prosecutor's office. MEANWHILE, Justice De- partment sources in Washington said campaign contribution rec- ords of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association dating back to 1964 alsochad been sub- poenaed. Records indicate the maritime union contributed $7,- 500 to Ford's 1972 campaign, the largest single contribution his campaign collected. At the White House, Press Secretary Ron Nessen said: "We don't know anything that the special prosecutor or the Justice Department is dci'g" in the matter. "I see no evidence that I'm aware of that the President is under investigation," Nessen said. "Nobody has said he is." A SPOKESMAN for Ford's presidential campaign commit- tee said none of its records had been subpoenaed. The subpoenas were first re- ported yesterday by the Wall Street Journal. Jesse Calhoon, president of the marine union, said that disclosure of what was involved in the investigation would "put me right in the middleof thernational election," the Journal reported. Calhoon could not be reached yesterday for further comment. THE WAGES of American merchant seamen are paid in part by subsidies controlled by Congress.

The source said neither side has altered its official stand on any of several issues which triggered a strike by 170,000 workers in 22 states at 12:01 a.m., Sept. 15. But both sides have indicated they are "more open" to compromise, the source said after the two sides recessed for lunch after a two-hour morning bargain- ing session. Prohibition candidate Bubar preaches moral government By GEORGE LOBSENZ Another presidential candidate rolled into town earlier this week, though few people may have noticed. There were no big-wig airport receptions, no serenading marching band, and no demon- strations. With little fanfare Benjamin Bubar, standard-bearer for the Prohibition party, had arrived. Bubar, a genial garrulous native of Maine, has quietly pressed "IT WILL take many, many days for the pieces to fall into place," the source said. "There should be some major move- ment on disputed issues within the next couple of days, but we're still far from a settle- ment." The United Auto Workers said yesterday it was calling out on strike 1500 workers of Local 245 at the Ford Motor Company's engineering center in Dearborn in an apparent at- tempt to bring added pressure on the firm to settle the walk- out. The workers had been order- ed to stay on the job during the Alum
