Stubborn as a goat Billy the goat tried as hard as Mary's little lamb to follow his master to school, but Billy the school bus driver prevailed. School authorities in Charleston, W. Va., said when Bill Miller stopped his school bus Monday at the Johnson home, one of the Johnson's goats followed the children onto the bus. Miller put'the goat off, but when he opened the door for late arriving children, the goat hopped back aboard and into the driver's seat. Miller again removed the goat and closed the door. Not to be denied, however, the goat hopped on the hood of the bus, leaned against the windshield and re- fused to move. Finally, Miller hailed two passers- by, who helped remove the goat, and held him while the bus driver made good his escape. Monopoly causes inflation Boardwalk worth $2 million? Park Place at $1.5? Hotels costing $500,000 a piece? If you're expect- ing Monopoly's property values to change to match the increased values of Atlantic City, N. J. proper- ties that the game copies - forget it. A spokeswo- man for Parker Brothers in New York said the firm has no plans to update its popular game since voters in the resort city legalized casino gambling. Just to show how much real estate values have jumped since the game's invention in the early 1930's, the Claridge Hotel, at the original Board- walk, was sold this week for $3.5 million. On the game board, Boardwalk is worth $400. Some people will buty anzything Not since the city unloaded 150 surplus ducks has such a crowd shown up at the police station in Memphis, Tenn. A deluge of 200 went to the station hoping to pick up a bargain in broken park- ing meters - 460 of them, three for $4. Within 40 minutes, they were gone, and the city was $558.67 richer. "I lied to my wife," said Rich Jor- dan, as he. hauled 30 meters into his car. "I told her I was buying three. She wouldn't let me out of the house othgrwise."

According to Washtenaw County Sheriff's Detective Harold Kerr, Wilson made "damaging statements (to detectives) that he did kill the girl (Boukai)," and received profit from Boukai for the crime. WILSON, NOW BEING HELD without bond in the Washtenaw County Jail, was returned here two weeks ago following his surrender Nov. 2 to the FBI in Huntsville, Alabama. Kerr said Wilson received Boukai's Yamaha motor- cycle and an unspecified amount of cash. Local authorities had been investigating reports that Boukai, a 17-year-old Natural Resources student, purchased a contract on her own life. Authorities have already ascertained that Boukai withdrew a sum of cash from a local bank and took out a life insurance policy shortly before her death. KERR SAID the Yamaha notorcycle Wilson alleg- "Asked whether he thought Wil- son's statements amounted to a con- fession, Kerr replied, 'Yes, I would say so'."_ edly received was abandoned in Kentucky, and has not been found. Asked whether he thought Wilson's statements amounted to a confession, Kerr replied, "Yes, I wo'l d say so." Kerr also confirmed that Wilson's statements were not made in the presence of an attorney. HOWEVER, SHERIFF'S DEPT. Lt. Harold Owings while confirming the disclosure of Wilson's statements ~bslaying said that Wilson had been informed of his right to silence before talking with authorities. "The officer involved in the case is experienced and he would' not have taken the statements if he (Wilson) wasn't informed of his rights," said Owings. Owings declined to comment on whether or not Wil-_, . son's confession was made in the form of a signed statement. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY David Swartz, while declining to comment on the"nature of Wilson's state- ments, said, "I know of no statements taken in con- travention to his (Wilson's) rights." "His-case hasn't gone to trial or examination," Swartz added, explaining his desire not to comment on the statement's admissability -as evidence. Public Defender Ron Carlson, representing Wilson, also declined comment.

But Ford's answer to the invitation is not expected until after President-elect Jimmy Carter's inaugura- tion, on January 20. Army Major Robert Barrett, who heads the Ford adminis- tration's transition office, said "Subsequent review and concentration will take place after he is through concentrating on being President, which will be after the 20th."

No final agreement has been reached. The matter awaits a response from Michigamua. JOHNSON'S LETTER comes after a private meeting of Michigamua 'members and Uni- versity officials last week. The meeting produced a compro- mise by which the group might fend off complaints that it vio- lates Title IX, the federal reg- ulation which forbids sex dis- crimination by University-affili- ated organizations. University President Robben Fleming added a clause to the proposal on Tuesday which cals for the group to assert that it does not discriminate by race. At the meeting last week, Johnson and his assistant, Thomas Easthope, offered Mich- igamua these options: byTil * Admit women, thus allevi- ating the sex discrimination complaints leveled at "the Tribe" by Michigan Student As- sembly (MSA) vice-president Amy Blumenthal and former MSA member Anita Tanay. * Sever relations with the University, including the free lease of i'oom space in the Mich- igan Union tower and use of Radrick Farms.
