The long and winding line
In the spirit of the basketball ticket lines
formed nearly a month before the tickets actu-
ally went on sale, a University senior has an-
nounced the genesis of a, queue at Crisler Arena
for the inevitable Beatles reunion concert there.
"There is a list posted somewhere at Crisler,"
Jim Sachs wrote The Daily, and it will be the
only one accepted should tickets ever go on sle."
Further details: "Roll calls will be every second
Saturday, for the first two years," and at least
once aweek thereafter."At each rol call ten
people must show up for each ticket desired,"
and you must have at least 12 pieces of identifica-
tion plus an old Beatles album cover. Sachs says
you should send all inquiries to "BEATES CON-
CERT, c/o University of Michigan," and notes
that none of them will be answered.
Hello?
Michigan Bell customers will be paying an
extra 14 to 39 cents a month on their telephone
bills, following, approval yesterday by the state
Public Service Commission of a $22 million in-
terim rate hike for the company. The interim
increase, which Bell argued it needed to cover
wage increases, is designed to give them enough
revenue to cover operating costs until a full rate
hike case is decided-probably early next year.

Too much -money
Eat your hearts out, New York and Michi-
gan. North Dakota has a surplus of about $176
million left over from a $442 million, two-year
budget approved in 1975, and there isn't anything
to spend it on. Booming prices for farm goods
have sent revenues from income and sales taxes
soaring in the almost entirely rural state, and
tax commissioner Byron Dorgan says there's "a
mountain of pillows" for the legislature to fall
back upon. Mindful of their good fiscal fortunes,
North Dakotans passed a measure in Tuesday's
election reducing the state sales tax a penny on
most items. But with the agricultural picture so
susceptible to bad luck, however, a state legis-
lator has warned that income "can also go down
very fast."

Sore loser
Independent presidential candidate Eugene Mc-
Carthy is taking his third-place finish in Tues-
day's election with all the grace of the father
of a molested three-year-old. Asked if he was
happy with the overall results of his effort, he
snapped back at reporters: "It's not a question
of being happy. Why does one have to be happy?
What line of business are you fellows in, here?"
At his first post-eledtion news confeience, he also
said he may again wage an independent bid for
the White House, but seemed rather indifferent
toward that prospect. "Oh, I don't know," he said.
"I might. What's "the offer?" And on the news
media: "The total positive contribution of the writ-
ing press was the Playboy article ... The writing
press covered the campaign like the National Foot-
ball League playoffs." That makes you the Mon-
day morning quarterback, Gene.

Complaint department
If you think restaurant food, appliance service-
ing and mail delivery are getting worse all the
time - well, you're not'alone. A nationwide sur-
vey of 2,500 adults shows that many Americans
believe most products and services are not as
good as they were five or ten years ago. New
cars and movies drew the worst ratings - with
64 and 62 per cent believing, respectively, that
autos and flicks are worse today than those of
the past. In fact, only three items came out win-
.hers in the survey: airline service,'telephone ser-
vice, and newspapers. We're blushing.

Pact OK'd at last minute

By AP and UPI
DETROIT-United AutoWork-
ers and Chrysler Corp. reached
tentative agreement yesterday
on a three-year contract, just
minutes before the deadline for
an unprecedented second na-
tional auto strike this year.
The UAW and company of-
ficials said the agreement cov-

ers some 109,000 U.S. and Ca-
nadian hourly workers.
NEGOTIATIONS on a sepa-
rate accord covering 9,000
white collar employes will con-
tinue, they said.
The two sides announced the
settlement in a statement less
than 10 minutes before the 6
p.m. EST strike deadline set

Nation's jobless rate
increases in Oct.
By The Associated Press and United Press International
WASHINGTON-The nation's unemployment rate increased
to 7.9 per cent in October, providing fresh evidence the economy
is stagnating, the government reported yesterday.
The Labor Department's. announcement that the rate of job-
lessness increased from 7.8 per cent in September followed Presi-
dent-elect Jimmy Carter's statement that he might attempt to
counter economic sluggishness by asking Congress for a tax,
cut in January.
"THE PAUSE SEEMS TO BE lasting longer than we expect-
ed," White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen said after the
statistics were released.
The gloomy report, left almost no hope that joblessness
could be reduced below 7 per cent in 1976 as President Ford'
had predicted.-

for Chrysler workers in 22 stat-
es and Canada.
UAW Vice President Douglas
A. Fraser and Chrysler Indus-
trial Relations Vice President
William M. O'Brien said the
new three - year agreement
closely followed the pattern-
setting contract worked out in
a four-week strike against the
Ford Motor Co.
BOTH SAID it was a fair
agreement.
"It's, a good agreement and
makes tremendous_ progress
toward greater security for
Chrysler workers and their
families," Fraser said.
Job-saving protection was the
key UAW goal for Chrysler
workers who* saw I'yoffs climb
above the 50,000 mark- 44 per
cent of the firm's labor force
- during the company's two-
year slump. Fraser said the
new pact corrects many of the
"frailties" in the old contract:
"IT'S A SETTLEMENT I be-
lieve we can live with," 0'-
Brien told new'smen. "I'm glad
it's in the barn."
UAW President Leonard
Woodcock said he hopes- to yet
avoid a second strike when the
union seeks a similar contract
for 390,000 General Motors work-
ers.
Despite the nearness of the
settlement, some'22,000 workers

"January," the smiling pres-

During his working vacation
on St. Simons, Carter will be
accompanied by his wife, their
three adult sons and their
wives. They will stay at Mus-

POWELL has said Carter will
pay Bagley between $1,000 and
$2,000 tp avoid any appearance

He plans to continue on St.

through the 18 inch thick tran-
sition books that outline policy
options Carter will face in mapy
fields, plans for selecting per-

highest 'positions and proposals
for government reorganization.
The briefing papers were pre-

Carter was nominated for pres-

A peaceful solution to the
Mideast conflict is unlikely ac-
cording to Jerusalem's Deputy
Mayor Meron Benvenisti. At
least during his lifetime.
Benvenisti was in Ann Arbor
yesterday, taking a break from
a week long lecture tour of the
state. Interviewed at the Hillel
foundation, he indicated that
a peaceful solution to problems
in the mideast would be a long
time in coming.
"THE problems, the realities
are too deep to be solved.
There needs to be many years
of political relations before a
peaceful situation will evolve.
Perhaps in my grandson's life-
time.d"
"There are different kinds of
peace. In the Hebrew language,
we have two words for peace.
One is a real peace. The other
is a false peace, a peace with
ceasefires which can end at any
time. This is the peace we
have now'"
He continued, "The mideast
is a very fliid situation. Right
now, there is no military war.
Negotiating is a different war,"
CONCERNTNG the Palestinian
situation, Benyenisti said "The
oiiestion is whether or not the
Palestinians are ready to come
to terms with Israel. I cannot
nPaotiate with the Palestinians.
They refuse to anknowledee my
Pyistence as an Israeli national.
It is impossible to negotiate if
vnit are a nonentity. The nepo-
tiatinns dissolve into shouting
matches."

Mliami men's society
toldto admit women
MIAMI (AP) If women are not allowed into Iron Arrow'
- the University of Miami's honor society - then Iron Arrow
must pack its wigwams and leave the campus.
That's the sentiment of Dr. Henry King Sanford, the uni-
versity's president, who has vowed to force the society off
campus if it doesn't admit women.
"THE UNIVERSITY can no longer be a part of any activity
that excludes -members of its academic family only on the basis
that they are women," said Stanford, himself a meiber of the
all-male society.
Besides equality, there is also an issue of money involved.
The U.S. Department of Health, Educatipn and Welfare has
threatened to halt $40 million in federal grants to the univer-
sity if Iron Arrow remains on campus and continues its mem-
bership ban on women.
THE 1,318-MEMBER SOCIETY has until Dec. 30 to agree
to accept women members or disassociate itself from the uni-
versity. This year, for the first time since 1926, Iron Arrow
did not select any new members.
"It's a shame," said John Benedict, a 1971 alumnus and
chief of the society. "A lot of traditions have bitten the dust
around here in the last few years.
A move reportedly is underway to change the group's char-
ter, but similar proposals were rejected in 1972 and 1975.
MEANWHILE, THE INDIAN WAR DRUMS that once were
heard on' campus are now silent. The university refused on
Thursday to give permission for the society to bring its drums
