McClary, 24, emphasizes in
her campaign the need for an
extensive county-wide health
program "sensitive to the needs
of the community" and easily
accessible to all county resi-
dents.
IN HER BID for the commis-
sion seat in 1974 McClary called
for an anti-rape program, in-
cluding community education,
direct aid to victims and bol-
stered prevention effQrts.
Since then, she says, she has
worked with the sheriff's de-
partment and various communi-
ty anti - rape organizations tol

Brandenburg, 23, who ran for
county commission four years1
ago in Wayne County, says that
"poor management" is the ma-
jor issue of the race, and adds
that he believes in limited gov-
ernment on all levels.
THOUGH HE DOES not spe-{

Priorities are misplaced when, as now, 13%' of mis-

supports the reinstallment of -an

He echoes Brandenburg's crit-
icisms of inefficiency in the
county government and adds
that it is "important to have
someone making decisions in-
stead of 15 people squabbling."
Fojtik, 31, seeking a third
term on the board of commis-
sioners, places her emphasis
on health care, expanded pub-
lic transportation facilities, and
"women's rights to a fair and
equal treatment in employment
and county government."
SHE ALSO CALLS for "an
overhaul of the criminal jus-
tice system," stressing introduc-
tion of a pre-trial release pro-

cy for repeaters.
Fojtik has based much of her

a popularly elected executive
would have greater freedom.
While an appointed admihi-
strator has no clear jab de-
scription, Fojtik says, the elec-
ted executive would have specif-
ic duties - and creation of such
a position would "clarify lines
of authority and responsibility
in county government."

JEAN RENIOR'S 1937
GRANDE ILLUSION
Probably the most famous and moving anti-war film of all time. The
great humanist of French cinema directs Erich Von Stroheirm in his
outstan~ding performance as a Prussian aristocrat general. Though the
entire class structure of Europe is changing, two great souls from
opposing sides meet in the context of their 19th century personnas and
find a communion between them that is timeless. Life ultimately
triumphs over war though peace doesn't put death to rest.
