The bionic corpse Filming for "The Six Million Dollar Man" Wednesday turned out more like "The Twilight Zone" when what was thought to be a wax dummy hanging from a noose was discovered to be a mummified corpse. The body was found in a Long Beach, Calif. amusement park's fun house and was painted with a reddish fluorescent paint to make it glow in the dark. A technician was moving the corpse to prepare the scene for film- ing when an arm came off. "The guy was going to glue it back on," said a police investigator, "but then he noticed a bone, sticking out." The mummy has been sent to a-coroner to determine how old it is and where it came from. Before being hung from the makeshift gallows, the pseudo-mummy had been displayed in a casket at a now-defunct wax museum as the "thousand-year-old man." Faith healing Grasshopper spit, milkweed juice, or the burial of a dead cat at midnight, are just as effective for curing warts as any standard medication, ac- cording to a Cleveland dermatologist. Whatever the treatment, said Dr. Jerome Litt of .the Case Western Reserve school of medicine, faith is the crucial ingredient. Litt 1claims to have achieved "spectacular results" treating warts with an ordinary sticky tape on which he puts an impres- sive looking label. Nobody is sure how this works, but-patients who wore the tape had their warts drop off. It has been suggested that the methods stimulate the secretion of body chemicals which fight the virus that causes the horny growths. So, next time you get a wart, don't mess with any doctors, just rub it with an onion soaked. in vinegar. .Sq uidicide Biologists are trying to figure out why millions of squid have squirmed onto the sandy beaches of Cape Cod since mid-October, snuffing them- selves in the freezing air. "Some days there are so many of them on the beach that its impossible to walk without stepping on them," said Robert Prescott of the Cape Cod Museum .of . atural His- tory. In Cambridge, Mass., the ponderously titled Center for Short-Lived Phenomena theorizes that the mass suicides may be attributed to the de- pletion of schools of fish by foreign fishing fleets. Other theories tie it, to unusually cold weather or to unfathomed cycles of nature, like those governing the migrations of birds. Dumber and dumber Worried about finding a job after graduation?

Most students reacted favorably yesterday to the professorship offer saying that Ford, with his extensive political background, would be able to offer them insights into government workings which they haven't got from other professors or text books. "AFTER LIVING THROUGH (the presiden- cy)," said sophomore Eileen Burgin, "he's a lot more qualified to talk about it than some- one who's not experienced." Everything that he's gone through as Presi- dent would be worth hearing," said senior Mark Gaertner. "I've taken classes on what tht Presi- welcome Ford Teaching abilities in question dent does, and what the text book says and what the President says may be different."' The day after the presidential election the executive committee of the political science de- partment voted unanimously to invite Ford to join the faculty. Ford is not expected to reply to the University's offer until after Jimmy Car- ter's Jan. 20 inaguration. The question of Ford's qualifications for a professorship is pre-eminent in some minds. Sen- ior Mary Feiber, who described her feelings' about the invitation as "mixed," said the Presi- dent's appointment "would be prestigious for the University ... but it's the lack of scholastic experience which disturbs me. "BUT IF HE'D BE TEACHING a class like legislative process, he's goc the practical experi- ence which counts for something," she added. "He must know the ropes and the practical ap- plications, but it's his lack of experience that doesn't sit right with me." Despite Ford's lack of teaching experience, Political Science teaching fellow John Strate thinks that the addition of Ford to his, depart- ment would be "great." "He's not oriented toward political theory," Strate noted, "but he spent 20 or so years on Capital Hill so he must know something. He's an intelligent individual and I think he'd have a lot to offer." ivita tion Political Science Prof. Frank Grace said he had reservations about the "mechanics" of a Ford appointment to the staff. "I DOUBT THE practicality of the President teaching small groups of students. You'd need Hill Auditorium every time he taught a sec- tion." Freshwoman Sue Major; however, said she wouldn't be one of the students flooding Hill to see the President. "I'd never take anything from him," she said. "I can think of other ex-Presi- dents I'd rather have here. He'd probably be really boring." Out-going MSA President Calvin Luker waa even more critical. "It's nice to know that the University is now going to serve as a burial ground for former unelected Presidents," he said. " Students hit 'U on Title IX proposal By JIM TOIIN The students who ignited the recent sex discrimination dis- pute over the all-male senior society Michigamua yesterday scorned a tentative University- Michigamua proposal which seeks to lay the controversy to rest. Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) vice-president Amy Blumenthal and former MSA member Anita Tanay said that even- if Michigamua and the University follow through on the plan, the group will still violate Title IX, the federal~" regulation which bars sex dis- crimination by University bod- ies. "THE UNIVERSITY' is not taking a stand on this at all," said Blumenthal. "I don't think they're saying, dTitle IX is right and we should comply with it."' Blumenthal and Tanav filed a comnlaint with the Dept. of Health. Education, and Wel- fare (HEW) in September, charging that the University was breaking federal law by giving free space in the Michi- aan Union and free use of Ra- dri-k Farms to "the Tribe". HEW then directed the Uni- versity to investigate the groun. Last week, University officials nresented Michigam- va with three options: admit- tine women; leaving camnus: estahlishing itself purely as a social group. If the Tribe can nrove it is social rather than honorarv, it is exempt from Tit1" TX. 1Mikenl to sign freon legislation LANSING (UPI) - Gov. William Milliken is expect- ed to sign legislation making Michigan the third state to ban sales of freon spray cans in an effort to halt de- struction of the atmosphere's protective ozone layer. The ban will not take effect until January 1979, how- ever. Tshe ozone layer shields the earth from harmful, cancer-caus- ing rays of the sun. THE LEGISLATION, which was introduced over two years .ago, got final, unanimous approval in the state House yesterday after its sponsor, Rep. Perry Bullard, (D-Ann Arbor) reluctantly asked .his colleagues to go along with a Senate amendment delay- ing the bill's effective date. The final vote was 83-0. Aides 'said thev expected Milliken to. sign the legislation. dI Doily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS MICHIGAN RUNNING BACK Rob Lytle and coach Bo Schembeckler were all smiles yester- day as this year's "Wiseman Trophy" was pr esented. LgWa e By RICH LERNER SOUTHFIELI)-"At least I'll never starve to death," mused Michigan's All-American run- ning back, Rob Lytle. No. Lytle didn't move back into the dorm, but from now until the end of his professional career, Lytle is entitled to free meals at any of the San Francisco based Victoria Station restauranw chain's 54 restaurants. His alma mater also receives a $1000 scholarship in Lytle's name and his favorite charity will be granted $1000. All that because Lytle has been awarded the "Wiseman Trophy." IT ALL STARTED in 1971 when the chain's three founders, Cornell graduates, thought Cornell star Ed Marinaro should have won the Heisman Trophy, given' by the New York Athletic Club to the best college football player, instead of Pat Sullivan. "We were joking around that it being Christ- mas time and there being three of us, that we should give Marinaro the 'Wiseman' trophy," said Bob Freeman, one of the found- ers. "The next day our publicity director told us he rented three camels, so we decided to See LYTLE, Page 9 In addition to banning sale gas as a propellant by 1979, ,the bill requires labeling of such cans as of January, 1978. According to Bullard, the ban will mostly affect sales of hair sprays, and spray deodorants. OREGON HAS banned freon sprays as of next March and New York has a ban which will take effect in January, 1978, Bullard said. In addition, three federal agencies are consider- ing action on the freon spray question. Bullard had to swallow sev- eral modifications in his freon bill over the course of its two year legislative history. One of them dropped a ban on manufacture. of freon spray cans, allowing Michigan firms to continue producing the products for export to other states. It was estimated that without this provision, the bill could result in a loss of 2'Q0 or more jobs here. See MILLIKEN, Page 2 or on? Meanwhile, the, Central Stu- dent Judiciary (CSJ) voted unanimously last night to cer- tify this term's MSA election. According to MSA Parliamen- tarian Brian Laskey this is the first student government elec- tion in "several years" to be certified without a challenge by a candidate. s of spray cans containing freon dent-eect Carter sent apblic SvetaUniroyesterda declar ing through a former defense secretary that he has a "deep desire to find the basis of 'un- derstanding" with the Russians.

Gary Fabian, president of UHC, said yesterday he expects the boycott to pass at this Sun- day's UHC meeting despite the two to one dorm vote against it. "I think members will, vote on this as a moral issue rather than a practical one," he said. FABIAN says seven or eight of UHC's 14 members are "leaning toward continued sup- port of the boycott."
