Be vigilant as you press through the thronging spectators at the Michigan State game today. One among them 'seeks your vote. Our own congress- man, Marvn Esch, is attending the game today; the, question is, where will he sit? Our graying Republican Senate candidate went to the Univer- sity; but his brash young opponent, Don Riegle, did time both 'in Ann Arbor and at that other school in East Lansing. If Marv wants to nail down the Ann Arbor vote, he has to sit with the Maize and Blue, right? But a senator must represent all the people of his or her state, cor- rect? Perhaps the end zone would be a wise compromise, but will would-be senator Marv run the risk of beihng passed up and out? Take our cue, Congressman: better that you stay not too far to the right, not too far to the left - cap- ture the whole state with a dazzling run right up the middle just as the clock runs out. Mason limes Things aren't so bad. Mason Hall might have burned down yesterday, taking the Haven monolith and the Angell mausoleum with it. But they re- main, thanks to rumbling trucks of the Ann Arbor fire department, which surrounded the place about 1:00 yesterday afternoon. Turns out it wasonly a tiny blaze in a cigarette butt container, but the department sends a full crew even for such "smell-of-smoke" alarms. University security per- sonnel said they get two or three such calls every month. Happenings .,.. ... begin before most of you will see this. Prof. W.H.G.

Presidential forensics What were you doing Wednesday night? Are you one of those now feeling politically guilty because you watched the first presidential de- bate but were so bored you didn't watch the second? There are plenty of you out there. Ac- cording to an overnight Nielsen poll, 2 million fewer people watched Ford and Carter duke it out over nukes and such than watched the do- mestic policy debate two weeks ago. Eighty-five million watched the first, whileonly 83 million were politically conscientious enough to watch the second. Tell us all, what were you doing Wednes- day night that could have drawn you away from such stellar comments as "There is no Soviet domination over Eastern Europe and there won't be as long as I am President"? Going from Katinandu The American Bicentennial Everest Expedition was 28,750 feet up Mount Everest yesterday morn- ing, with only 278 vertical feet to go to the top of the world's tallest mountain. Dr. Chris Chand- ler, 28, a Vashon, Wash. physician and Bob Cor- mack, 30, a Boulder, Colo. glider pilot shoved off from Katmandu, Nepal on August 3 for the 143- mile hike to Everest. One wonders if it's worth it. Their original timetable was jolted by a six- day blizzard, the wind on the mountain has been blowing at 50 nmiles per hour, and it's fifteen to twenty below' zero at night, (and that's 7,000 feet down the mountain from where they are now.) If they make it, they'll be only the sec- ond American team to climb all /9,028 feet of the peak. Other members of the expedition stayed behind, further down the mountain. Nothing to sneeze at Angelo Antiero had a rather valuable diamond in his pocket, and the police in Vercelli, Italy, had caught him. Antiero had been flashing a lot of money around town - and had a record for pos- session of stolen property--so the constabulary naturally wanted to take the man in for question- ing. Once they hauled him in, they asked him to clean out his pockets. That's when Antiero became desperate. Palming the diamond so the cops wouldn't see it, he discreetly placed it some- where he thought would be a safe hiding place- up his nose. "He was panting and making such a whistling noise that I pinched his nose," ex- plained one officer. The diamond popped out. On the inside . ...

With only 24 days left before the election, Ford and Carter used some of the strongest language of their campaigns. The President was trying to re- coup some of the political points lost in the foreign policy debate two nights earlier - but Carter was equally determined to take full advantage of Ford's gaffe.

ST UDENTS CALL FOR CLASS BOYCOTT: By LANI JORDAN Special to The Daily DETROIT - Leaders of two state university and college stu- dent organizations called for an immediate tuition freeze yester- day and urged students to boy- cott their classes next Wednes-I day in protest of rising fees. Nancy Christiansen, director of Students Associated for Low-1 er Tuition (SALT) told report-i ers the boycott is designed "to bring problems of skyrocketing tuition to light in this election year." THE CLASS BOYCOTT and j freeze asked a rally at the state capital are co-sponsored by SALT and the Michigan Higher Education Stu- dent Association (MHESA). Both SALT and MHESA are compos- ed of representatives from most Michigan colleges and universi- ties. The Michigan Student Assem- bly (MSA) was a charter mem- ber of two-year-old SALT but is not affiliated with MHESA. Student leaders estimate 500 students will participate in the Lansing rally with several schools sending busloads of rep- resentatives. ACCORDING to MSA Presi- dent Calvin Luker, tuition in- ,creases and loss of programs at the University have been relatively hard. He hopes that students will participate in the class boycott, but said, "It has received little publicity here, we'll be working on it over the weekend." "Our major emphasis is to get people to Lansing," Luker said. "I would be satisfied if 50 students participated in the demionstration." According to Christiansen, fewer state high school students are entering college because it has become harder to obtain fill t'iition scholarships. "STUDENT FINANCIAL aid hasn't risen proportionately with tuition costs. The state and federal governments have got to aid students," she said. She called higher education "the only state program which gives a concrete return." See STUDENTS, Page 2 Stu den t fo und dead in uad By PHILLIP BOKOVOY A University sophomore was found dead in his South Quad dormitory room last night. Police said John Oliver, an LSA sophomore from Niles, Mich., had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Ann Arbor Police Captain Robert Conn -said,' "We're carry- ing it as a sudden death ... it appears to be a suicide, but we don't know." SOUTH QUAD BUILDING DIRECTOR Max Smith, however, said, "It's a suicide, that's all we know." Conn said that the medical examiner report will be released sometime today or Monday, and would cite the official cause of death. The medical examiner at the scene refused to comment. CONN ADDED that a shotgun of the type commonly used for hunting ducks was found in Room 3912, of Taylor house. A re- ceipt for the purchase of the gun, according to Conn, was also found in the room. According to a housing security spokesperson, residents on the corridor became concerned when Oliver dropped out, of sight for three or four days. He said that repeated knocks on Oliver's door went unanswered. The spokesperson added that the residents had called housing security last ,night, but security personnel found the door chained when they tried to break into the room. AN ACRID stench was discerned in the hallway. South Quad residents, at the urging of their resident director, last night refused to divulge any information on Oliver. The incident was the second student death in the past eight days. Last week, a freshwoman in the School of Natural Resurces was found shot to death in the Arb. The suspect in that case is still being sought. nag hardliners during a visit to South Vietnam. "Apparently when Mr. Ford went to Poland, as happened to George Romney last tim6, he was brainwashed,"Carter said. And Carter - now apparently recovering from the recent mistakes of his own canpaign - demanded Ford call a formal news conference to "tell the truth, the whole truth and noth- ing but the truth." THE DEBATE statement -- that "there is no Soviet domi- nation of Eastern Europe" -- dogged Ford all day long. At his first appearance, be- fore a group of business and. nrofessional men in Los An- geles, Ford initially avoided the subject by delivering in- stead his standard criticism of Carter's tax and spending pro- posals. lut when he turned to questions, there it was. One man said he was more concerned about Eastern Eu- rope than southern Africa and asked if Secretary of State Henry Kissinger could be sent to negotiate greater freedom for the East Bloc countries. IGNORING TIHEKis- singer suggestion, Ford for the first time admittedly amended his statement from Wednesday night's debate. "What I meant to say," Ford told his questioner, was that the United States does not recog- nize Soviet domination of East- ern Europe and never will. That's what Ford had told a University of Southern Cali- fornia crowd Thursday, but at that time he didn't call it a clarification or retract his pre- yious remarks. To laughter from his audi- ence, Ford- said of his debate comment: "It has been alleged by some that I wasn't as pre- cise as I should have been the other day." BUT FORD MAY have raised - the whole affair again when he went on to say: "The Poles . don't believe that they are go- ing to be forever dominated, if they are, by the Soviet Un- ion." As Ford himself said at a later appearance: "We don't make a mistake one day and anologize for it the, next." Later, Ford issued his second clarification of the day about eastern Europe, saying he hop- ed to "put an end to this mis- understanding."

And when it comes down to what potent potables to guz- zle, the majority of students would rather just relax with a good, cold beer. SO ARE THE RESULTS of a recent poll conducted by the Daily of random Diag strollers. Of the 160 students queried (90 men and 70 women) about their drinking habits, a meager 8 per cent confirmed they were tee-totallers, while a fifth of those who do take a nip at least now and then prefer beer. More men abstain from alcohol than women (11 to 4 per cent), but women beer guzzlers (10 per cent) can't hold a candle to their male counterparts (28 per cent). As for hard liquor, the Diag set expressed a thirst for Prem ier chosen In Thiailand BANGKOK (Reuter) - Thai- land's new military regime yes- terday named a right-wing law- yer as Prime Minister and said he would take over power with- in two weeks.
