According to a hospital spokesperson, Brow- er's death was in no way connected to the incident last week. The spokesperson also stated that'Brow- er was very ill at the time he was admitted to the hospital, and had been expected to die at any time. At first, FBI agents thought the attemped murder might have been connected to the recent chain of respiratory failures at the hospital. But further investigation proved his was not the case.

" Never can say goodbye Last May, the door swung open and Thomas Elbert walked out of prison after serving five years for threatening the life of former President Nixon. But he's going back soon. A federal judge in Sacramento sentenced Elbert yesterday to jail for allegedly telephoning the Sacramento Secret Service office August 15 and telling an agent, "I'm going to kill your boss, Ford." He was arrested two days later. "He's the type of fellow who seems to enjoy prison life and I think we're going to accommodate him," quipped a G-man. Some people just can't get enough of a good thing. Quick split This may be the fastest legal separation on record. Right after Jeannette Bell and Horace "oberts are married in Miami, they'll be whisked 'away to jail. They've been sentenced to prison for robbery and burglary. Bell, 21, and Roberts, 24, pleaded guilty this week to breaking and entering. After the judge told them they'd better prepare to do time, the defense lawyer approached the bench and told the startled jurist, "Your honor, the de- fendants would like you to marry them as soon as possible before they leave the jail for prison." "It's a little unusual, but if that's what they want, I'll do it," the judge replied. To say the least. They'll be married as soon as the blood test results come back. Anything for the children What's money for, except to spend it, right? If you think like that, you've got a friend in Davy Jones, a businessman from McHenry, Illinois, who bought a mountain ski resort for his threechil- dren. Jones, who runs a shipping firm, paid te Small Business Administration (SBA) $242,000 for the 1,148-acre resort located 25 miles south of Syracuse, New York. Originally owned by a Syra- cuse lawyer, the business folded and was sold to the SBA at a foreclosure auction three years ago for $250,000. Jones renamed it Calidu Sports, Inc., taking the name from the first tw letters of each of his three children, Cathy, 19, Lisa, 11, and Duane, 13. Said the indulgent papa, "I didn't buy this place for me, I bought it for them." He must have really raided Davy Jones' Locker for that little plaything. sr Old shows never die Buffalo Bob is coming back!

Senate Ford threatens to veto tax cut By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - President Ford vowed last night to veto an election-year tax cut unless Congress couples it with a fed eral spending lid. He said he remains opposed to a federal financial bailout for New York City. AND HE disclosed that he has canceled, out of concern for se- curity, a planned trip to Louis ville, Ky., next Thursday. The President was asked if he "would really shoot Santa n Claus in an election year" by vetoing a tax cut bill. "I have said with great em- phasis that the American people want a $28 billion tax cut and a > reduction in the growth of fed- eral expenditure," he replied. "THEY KNOW that is the right way to meet the problem of getting our long-term reform in tax legislation and to achieve a responsible program in spend- ing limitations." Asked how he was able to de- termine the American people really supported his program, Ford said: "I have been watch- ing some of the pollstaken na- tionally for the last several months and there is a general consensus that federal spending ought to be controlled and I be- lieve there is a strong feeling that the federal government should take less out of the tax- payers' pocket so the taxpayer can spend it himself." Questioned about'the possible inflationary implications of a $28 billion tax cut, the President said his proposal to tie it in with a sending limitationwas not aimed at affecting the economy in any significant way This mim whatsoever. few days See FORD, Page 2 building. 'U' deni stalling of OKs Sinai resolution Ford's signature seen, technicians to monitor treaty By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - The Senate passed last night 70 to 18 a resolution approving the stationing of 200 American technicians in the Sinai to monitor the Egyptian-Israeli peace accord. The resoluton, passed by the House 24 hours earlier, now goes to the White House where President Ford has been urging quick congressional action for more than a month to implement "a step toward peace" in the Middle East. THE VOTE, after a two-day debate, completed congressional approval of the technicians plan and clears the way for the Is- raelis to sign the month-old accord. While Egypt has already signed the accord, Israel had only initialled it and said it would not sign until Congress gave the go- ahead for the technicians to be-- - sent in. Despite Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield's warning that the risks of sending the techni- cians into, the Middle East are1 f too great and the costs too high,hf the Senate defeated 75 to 15 an amendment barring U.S. mili- tary personnel and equipment from any attempt to rescue the technicians in an emergency. collap se THE amendment was offered by Sen.

In a union grievance filed against the University on Sept. 5, the GEO charged the University with a lack of good faith and termed the appointment of the task force a "blatant stalling tactic". JOHN FORSYTH, administrator for the GEO contract, de- fended the University's position. "There's no question in my mind that the University is mak- ing a good faith effort to implement an affirmative action pro- gram for GSAs," he said. However, Forsyth did acknowledge "complications" in ex- plaining the University's failure to meet the Sept. 1 deadline set in the GEO-University contract of last spring for the implementa- tion of a program. "THE DESIGN and implementation of a program has been much more complex than we imagined," commented Forsyth. "Some overwhelming variables occur in such a non-traditional em- ployment setting as this." He tabbed three such variables as examples of the problems involved in instituting an affirmative action program. "There are a number of degree programs," he said, "that re- quire a candidate to have related work experiences. These per- sons must be given assistantships, regardless of race or sex." ,SAT drops possibly caused byrelaxed attitude, say experts FORSYTH also noted the part played by financial aid pack- ages in the GSA programs of many departments. "It is conceivable," Forsyth remarked, "that potential minor- ity candidates might not need or want to work as an assistant be- cause they already have some other form of financial support . . so the jobs might go to non-minority graduate students." GEO President Nancy Conklin, however, believes the Univer- sity is exhibiting a great deal of foot dragging on their affirmative action committment. "LET'S FACE it," she said, "if they were interested in ac-, tually having this (the affirmative action program) done, they would have appointed a task force a long time ago.'
