Swine fly "After a few hours, they stop squealing and snorting and lay down and enjoy the ride." Is this Robben Fleming commenting on the way Re- gents behave at monthly meetings? Bo Schembech- ler telling how Wolverines act on the way back from Columbus? No, no, it's just Leslie Schearer describing the Yorkshire hogs he flies from Chi- cago to Japan to provide more pork for East Asian diets. Schearer, an export agent in charge of the shipments, says the Japanese "are trying to improve their herds. It's a westernized food revolution. The latest bunch of swine left early yesterday in an air-conditioned cargo plane in which, 'according to Schearer, "the boars are separated from the sows; otherwise it would be a rough ordeal." Says Schearer, shipping pigs by air "sure beats a 21-day trip in a boat loaded with them." Who is this guy? e Beauty's only fur deep Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and no one knows this more than poor Norman. The Cincinnati Chapter of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) had declared Norman "the ugliest dog in the world" and pub- lished his picture in a local newspaper. The SPCA office was flooded with letters from read- ers wanting to adopt the homeless hound and admonishing the organization for insulting Norm- an's good looks. According to Norbert Mahlman, SPCA general manager in Cincinnati; one writer from Indianapolis said that no dog is ugly and if that is how people in Cincinnati talk about dogs, he is never going to Cincinnati again. Sing-sing a song Gary Gilmore may become a legend yet. Walla Walla, a Salt Lake City recording group, has re- leased a song called "the Ballad of Gary Gilmore". The convicted killer, whose execution has now been stayed by the U.S. Supreme Court, will have his story immortalized in a song which opens with: "What's to become of Gilmore, the killer who want- ed to die? Will they just do away with Gilmore oh will they give him another try?" The ballad's au- thors, Barbara Danielson and Walt Gregory, say they released the song to prevent any glorification of crime and to remind listeners that people are responsible for their own actions. They added that they plan to share royalties from the record with the widow of Gilmore's victim. Bob Dylan, eat your heart out. On the inside . . .

On the outside Supremi SALT 'LAKE CITY (W') - Convicted murderer Gary Gilmore, who was sched- uled to die Monday before a firing squad, got an unwanted stay of execu- tion yesterday by a 6-3 decision of the U. S. Supreme Court. Acting on a petition brought on be- half of Gilmore's mother, the court de- layed the execution until the State of Utah can respond to the petition and the court can take further action on her re- quest that her son's life be spared. THE LENGTH of the delay while the court considers the matter is uncertain. The Supreme Court gave the State of Utah until S p.m. (EST) Tuesday to file a response to the request by Gilmore's mother. Utah Deputy Atty. Gen. Robert Han- sen, who is Utah's attorney general-elect, said the court might take up to 30 days. to decide whether there should be a full review. A full review could tie the case +jp "perhaps as long as a year or two," said Hansen. IF GILMORE'S execution is delayed past next Friday, Robert Excell White of Texas could become the first person executed in the United States since 1967. White is scheduled to die then, although an anneal of his case also is wending be- fore the U. S. Supreme Court. Court stays Gil Gilmore, who insists he wants to die rather than spend the rest of his life behind bars, heard of the court's action on the radio in his Death Row cell. Utah state prison warden Samuel Smith said that Gilmore reacted to the court's decision by saying - "every one was getting into the act" and that only the three justices who wanted to let him die had any' "guts." GILMORE, convicted Oct. 7 of miurder- i :g a motel clerk during a July robbery, had received two earlier stays despite his insistence that his execution be car- ried out on schedule. At his request the. Utah Sureme Court reversed the stay it issued last month, and a stay ordered more by Gov. Calvin Rampton expired when the Utah Board of Pardons decided Tues- day not to lessen the penalty. Bessie Gilmore of Milwaukie, Ore., reported to be bedridden with arthritis, filed papers with the U. S. Supreme Court and the Utah state courts on Thursday asking that her son's life be snared. Her action came only two days after Gilmore said he hoped persons try- ing to save him would "butt out." The petition specifically asks that the execution be delayed long enough for the justices to receive a full-dress appeal challenging the manner in which Gilmore was convicted and attacking the consti- See HIGH, Page 8 execution Vance named State Nation's jobless rate hits 8.1%, By AP and UPI The nation's unemployment rate jumped to 8.1 per cent in November - a new high for the year, prompting President- elect Jimmy Carter to indicate he will take action to boost the economy. "The likelihood is the econo- my will need help," Carter said. But he added that he will wait until after the first of the year before deciding what specific action to take. AMONG THE measures he has said he is considering are tax cuts and programs to cre- ate jobs. Carter made his comments at a news conference at his home in Plains, Ga., yesterday, after the Labor Department reported that the jobless rate rose from 7.9 per cent to 8.1 per cent last month. Two hundred thousand more Americans were without jobs. Another unfavorable report showed wholesale pric'es rose six-tenths of 1 per cent last month, the third sharp monthly increase in a row.. HIGHER NATURAL gas pric- es and increases for other fuels offset a decline in farm prices, the department said. Carter ruled out the possi- bility that he will seek author- itv to imposedwage-price con- trols z but said voluntary re- straints "could be an option." A key economic adviser to Carter.

(N) - President-elect Jimmy Carter an- nounced yesterday his nomination of Cyrus Vance; a seasoned diplomatic troubleshooters, to become secretary of state, a choice that was acclaimed in Congress and the diplomatic community. As expected, Carter also appointed Atlanta banker Thomas Lance as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a key cabinet-level post controlling government spending and organization. CARTER'S announcement were made in the auditorium of a University of Georgia Agricultural station, outside Plains. He said he had chosen Vance, who was sitting to his left on the platform, on the basis of almost unanimous recommendations from around the country: "He is a superb adviser and negotiator, a competent, good Daily Photo by SCOTT ECC,KER UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Robben Fleming talks with students at Trotter House last night about issues facing minority students.

Vance, 59, said he was look- ing forward with great antici- pation to working under Carter. "I'M SURE that this is going to be an Administration char- acterized by both soundness and innovation," he said. Vance added: "And I shall do e,,ervthing in my power to jus- tif- his (Carter's) trust." Vance's nomination is subject to confirmatidn by the Senate, where anproval is a foregone co"' l"sion. SENATORS of both parties praised the choice. And Secre- tarv of State Henry Kissinger cal{Pd it outstanding. "Hp is exceptionally well ".lified for his new responsi- bilities." Kissinger said. "I wish him well. His sccess will be the success of all Ameri- cans," Kissinger called Vance to congratilate him and arranged a Monday afternoon meeting with him in Washington. VANCE also was Praised in the capitals of Europe, and sources in Moscow said the Kremlin regards him highly. Although Vance is credited with a sharp mind, he is not re- garded as an in'novator - a nossible indication that Mr. Carter intends to take a strong nersonal role in shaping Amer- ica's foreign policy.

Only about 2,200 students, 6.7 per cent of the student body, voted for the candidates vy- ing for 11 seats on the Assem- bly. The previous low occurred in November 1974 when only 3.5 per cent of the students voted. IN ADDITION to the two in- dependents; the unofficial final tally shows MOVE (Make Our Votes Effective) picking up three seats and Campus Coal- ition (CC) gaining two seats. Among the new parties, the Committee Against Mandatory Funding (CAMF), won two seats. Students for Reform and the Bullshit Party each won a See MSA, Page 2 By PATTI MONTEMURRI Asking'for a study geared to reducing the high attrition rate among black undergraduates, approximately 35 black students aimed questions at University President Robben Fleming at Trotter House last night. Sponsored by the University chapter of the NAACP, the gath- ering also requested more fund- ing for black activities and dis- cussed problems facing minori- ties on campus. NOTING THE "University's. failure in graduating blacks," Perrin Emanuel, a Bursley Res- ident Advisor, cited the low G-alen-s Dollars, warm number of bachelor degrees, 359, awarded to blacks last year and the high black drop- out .rate. While the dropout rate for blacks is higher than the cam- pus average, it is lower than the national, average of black attrition at public universities, Fleming noted. In 1970, the 'U' reached an agreement with the Black Ac- tion Movement (BAM) to strive for a 10 per cent black enroll- ment "that wouldn't fail for fi- nancial reasons," Fleming said. "WE DIDN'T SAY we'd take, in any breathing, black student who wanted to come here," said Fleming.

A year later, nine blacks and one white woman were indicted on charges of arson and conspiracy. Amid controversy and repudiated testimony, the Willmington Ten were convicted and sentenced to a total of 282 years in' pri- son; included was the Rev. Ben Chavis. Yes- terday his mother, Elizabeth Chavis, spoke at Trotter House. CHAVIS CLAIMS that her son, as well as the other nine are innocent of the burning of Wilmington otests verdict - goal was equality in the recent desegregation of Wilmington schools. "THEY FELT THAT desegregation was unfairly implemented," said Linda Jackson, a coordinator of Chavis' visit. . The meetings were harassed by white vig- ilantes, and after several shooting incidents and the deaths of a black youth and a vigi- lante, a riot erupted. Several community businesses burned. A year later, Ben Chavis, Shepard, and eight students were indicted for the arson of the grocery. "The officials don't have any way of know- ing that the Ten were at the stpre that night," claimed Jackson. ::Jf ; 'ls of t iti' f 1 : 4 :' y;:; tip:' of i "l: : ti :" y:{. - - -- -- -- --.
