While recognizing that the stand against a home- grown product such as Ford is unusual, the Free Press lauded the southerner because of his contri- bution "to the racial conciliation in Georgia, his ,emphasis on jobs, his good mind and his sense of vision about America." Carter also received good vibes from the Saginaw Valley, where the Bay City Times dusted off the Watergate issue for use on its opinion page. Watergate, the Times wrote, 'is not a blunder of the past to be stamped 'closed'. It is still with us, and Gerald Ford was part of it." But Ford need not feel completely os- tracized by his home state press. Many other state publications, including the Oakland Press, Lan- sing State Journal and the Traverse City Record- Eagle have already said "Nuts to Jimmy" on their editorial pages.

'U' confronts new Michiguama sex, race bias charge By LAURIE YOUNG A Native American student has filed a race discrimi- nation complaint charging the University with provid- ing the privileged use of facilities and services to Michi- gauma, an all-male, secret senior organization. In a complaint filed with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) under Title VI - a law prohibiting race discrimination in federally funded edu- cational institutions - Grace Pego stated that Michi- gamua "never had a Native American member" and "through its publications and actions portray Native GEO strike vote starts N1Xon tapes set for broadcast WASHINGTON (AP)-The U.S. Court of Appeals cleared the way yesterday for broadcasting of the Nixon White House tapes played at the Watergate cover-up trial. "The tapes played at trial are no longer confidential," the court ruled in a 2-1 decision. THE RULING ALSO PERMITS the sale of the tapes as phono- graph records. Included is the so-called "smoking gun" tape of June 23, 1972, when former president Richard Nixon ordered that the FBI's investigation of the Watergate break-in, six days earlier, be halted. Also among the tapes played at the trial is the March 21, 1973 warning, by former Nixon HUD to axe funds for local programs By MIKE NORTON Twenty-six local public ser- vices programs - and possibly more - will lose their federal funding Sunday due to a re- cent ruling from the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban De- velopment (HUD). The Ann Arbor City Council, however, is attempting to com- pensate for the losses to some four to six other programs by last-minute legislation. THE PROGRAMS to lose fund- ing are: " Housing programs of the Salvation Army, Catholic Social Services and Ozone House.

Initially, U.S. District Judge GerhardGesell had ruled that could be done, provided the applicants came up with a plan to prevent commercialization or .undignified use. Later he re- viewed proposals and found them unacceptable. U.S. District Judge John Siri- ca, who presided over the cover- up trial, then denied the appli- cations, saying any such action had to wait until appeals were exhausted by the four men con- victed in the case, John Mitch- ell.

See CAMPAIGN, Page 10 Tale of two diehard progressives McCarthy keeps pushing on By LAURIE YOUNG Independent presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy, who whisked into Detroit last night for a two-hour visit, told a small but enthusiastic group of supporters at Metropolitan Airport that scrutinizing the two-party control of politics is "more important than "examining the differences between Ford and Carter." "In Russia, everyone has to vote, but they have only one choice," said the Minnesota Senator. "Here, we are encouraging everyone to vote but there are only two choices. There are more and more people to vote, but for less and less." McCARTHY, who now seeks a "protest vote" more than a victory vote, shrugged off insinuations that he is splitting the Democratic vote. "Jimmy Carter could resign and I could win - he's spoiling it for me," said the '68 campaign also-ran who says pollsters now estimate McCarthy will carry 5-10 per cent of the vote. "I though about it for a year-and-a-half today in St. Paul without any remorse or ferring to his absentee ballot. "It's not for to withdraw." and voted for myself regret," he said re- me to say I'm going McCARTHY has focused his campaign on striking down state statutes designed to keep independents off state ballots and has successfully challenged eight such states. And during his speech last night, news came through that New York had just consented to put his name on the ballot. McCarthy blames the media, in part, for perpetuating this two- party system. McCarthy cited an instance where CBS maintained the fair- ness doctrine had been met because he received his 21-minute equal time allotment from various news programs. In compari- son, the two major parties had their national conventions, and de- bates, as well as day-to-day news coverage. "CBS WAS particularly moving - they said I'd been mentioned two times by Walter Cronkite," McCarthy said scornfully. "There was a 45-second spot on one. Apparently, if you're men- tioned by Walter Cronkite, then you're alive," he added. McCarthy also claimed that the media often casts him in a See McCARTHY, Page 7 Daily Photo by CHRISTINA SCHNEIDER AcCarthy Udall bo By ANN MARIE LIPINSKI - When Mo Udall bounded into the Union Ballroom yesterday afternoon he jokingly told his fever-pitched audience that he "demanded a recount of the Michigan pri- mary."
