Humphrey, age 5, is a male Bactrian camel, the two-hump model, purchased by a Washing- ton, D.C. zoo as a romantic interest and father image for the zoo's woman Bactrians. In the zoo's breeding farm at Front Royal, Va., he seemed to be getting the job done, at least in the opinion of those who watched from a dis- tance. But it turned out that Humphrey had been, uh, well, gelded, according to zoo officials. "A clipped orchid," as one put it. They discovered this condition when Humphrey was examined by the artificial insemination people. The zoo said that the dealer who sold Humphrey to them in a, package deal for $35,000 has promised to re- place him with the real thing. The dealer, who requests anonymity, pleads ignorance to the en- tire affair. If you can't beat 'em An Alabama federal judge has ruled that con- victed wife beaters will be able to vote in next Tuesday's election. U.S. District Court Judge J. Foy Guin Jr., enjoined officials from enforcing a section of the state constitution that denies the vote to men convicted of wife beating, a misdemeanor in Alabama. Guin's ruling came in response to a suit filed by a Wayne Hob- son, convicted in 1972 of assault and battery against his wife. His suit claimed the law de- nied equal protection because it applied only to men.

The band of four -- Russ McKee, Tim Ku- nin, Tom Moran and Jeff Ross - sang "Buy the beverage, not the bottle' Yea on A" as they marched boisterously to a noon rally on the Diag.

Not of Jerry Ford, but rather of Independent presidential can- didate Eugene McCarthy. IN A LAST DITCH attempt to convert McCarthy support by liberal college students into votes for Carter, the Democrat's state c a m p a i g n organizers have brought two of the party's most progressive and influencial members to local campuses- Arizona Congressman Mo Udall, who was in town Tuesday, and Indiana Senator Birch Bayh, who spoke to EMU students yes- terday in Ypsilanti. Bayh, like Udall, tried hard to counter the argument often heard among McCarthy support- ers - that if Carter loses they can elect a more liberal can- didate. "Perhaps that was the same argument that was being made back in '68," he said "as a result, we didn't get Gene Mc- Carthy in 1972 ... we had the imperial presidency of Richard Nixon." HE WENT ON TO attack President Ford's stance on the crime issue for what he said was a lack of commitment to alleviate the problems that cause crime. "The reason crime continues to escalate at an alarming rate is that we are unwilling as a society ... to bring to bear on the lives of children those ser- vices that are necessary to keep children who have trouble ... from becoming adults who have trouble and trouble society for the rest of their lives," he charged.' The amiable Senator saved his most bitter attacks, how- ever, for Ford's economic poli. cies and his position on aid to higher education. "PRESIDENT FORD is a very personable individual but his policies are not in the best in- terest of the country," he said, "The Ford administration is timid about getting the country put back to work ... Instead of cooling it (the economy) off they put it in the deep freeze." Earlier he said in an inter- view that Ford's veto of the higher education bill cost the nation's students over one mil- lion loans and scholarships. He also discussed the future of the left or 'progressive' wing of the Democratic Party and his role in it. "I think the more progres- sive wing of the party has a very important role - moving the party in the direction of new ideas (and) making cer- tain that we remain sensitive to human rights. And I think it has and will continue to play that role," he said. HE ADDED, "I don't think that I'll ever run for president again. I hope that we're going to have eight years of a Car- ter administration ... Frankly, I think there's a great deal See BAYH, Page 9 Empty seats mark Regental debate By JAY LEVIN Four invited major party candidates for University Regent- plus one uninvited Libertarian hopeful - met in a student-spon- sored debate last night before a threadbare gathering the size of most recitation' sections. Incumbent Democrats Gerald Dunn (Lansing) and Robert Nederlander (Birmingham) and Republicans Earl Gabriel (Dear- born Heights) and David Upton (St. Joseph) were joined at the Union by Libertarian James Hudler, a recent University gradu- ate who claimed he was not invited to participate in the event. Hudler, however, was urged by {' yDunn to join the invited quartet n . on the dais. WHILE THE five candidates espoused on a cornucopia of topics ranging from tuition to Title IX, roughly 25 persons - including the children of some candidates - listened attentive- h lv. Several students occasion- . ally approached a podium to directly grill the candidates. ;'"I would have liked' to have seen a full stadium," said a dis- appointed Upton after the 90- minute debate. "Lots of stu- Duiin dents probably don't even vote and probably most of them don't even know what the Board of Regents is." f¢Upton likened the debate's meager response to an issue he feels is crucial - having the Regents directly mix with Daily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS FORMER presidential hopeful, Indiana Senator Birch Bayh, urged EMU students in Ypsilanti yesterday not to vote for Independent Eugene McCarthy but to be realistic and back Democrat Jimmy Carter.
