About time
The all-male domination of the public address
system at Michigan Stadium during football games
will be broken this Saturday at the Northwestern
tilt. Judy Manos will break with tradition by nar-
rating a salute to International Women's Year at
the end of the band's pre-game show. Now that the
band includes women, so will the announcers booth
-that leaves just one group connected with the
football games which is still all male. Is it time to
turn Bo's boys into Bo's kids?
Plot thickens
James P. Hoffa, son of the missing Teamsters
kingpin, met in Chicago with a man alleged to have
powerful ties to the rich Teamsters' pension fund
shortly after his father's disappearance, the Detroit
News said yesterday ing a copyright story. The
meeting took place on August 9-less than two
weeks after the senior Hoffa disappeared. But the
fes don't know what, if any, significance the
meeting had. Hoffa's son refused to discuss the
matter. Earlier, he refused to take a lie detector
test concerning his father's disappearance.

How much is that doggie?
President Ford will sell three of his dog Liberty's
puppies to pay for the breeding costs, White House
sources reported yesterday. Jerry's year-and-a-half
old golden retriever gave birth' last month to five
males and four females. Arrangements have al-
ready been made to sell three of the pups, the
sources said. The cost: a mere $300 apiece.

In the red
A major ketchup manufacturer says rising sales
of its product means the recession is over. The
National Livestock and Meat Board in Chicago says
the industry reportedly uses the 14-ounce bottle of
America's favorite condiment as an economic baro-
meter. The board said ketchup sales to restaurants
have soared, as customers for burgers, hot dogs
and other restaurant meats increased. Growth is
also attributed to more families reaching higher
income brackets-allowing them to eat out more
often, according to the meat people.
"
Help wanted
Medina, Tennessee, a town of 850, is holding an
election. But nobody wants to run. The filing dead-
line was last week, and nobody signets up to run
for mayor or city recorder. And two of the four
council seats drew no contenders. "They can re-
elect me on writ-in votes but there's no law that
says I have to serve," said current Mayor Mark
Williford. "I'm just plain worn out and tired of
fooling with all the headahes." He earns $1,200
for his duties. May be there's some furtile ground
to be "plowed for frustrated SGC members in little
of' Medina.
"
Mumbo jumbo
The Roman Catholic Church's stance on birth
control, divorce and the authority of the Pope are
the main reasons why fewer Catholics are going
to church, according to a national church-sponsored
study. The survey shows that almost half the
decline in Mass attendance can be acounted for
by the changing attitude toward birth control.
Nationally attendance has dropped by a third over
the past decade. In the state, however, no drop-
has been noted, according to the study.

limousine
President not Iurt,
investigation started
By AP and Reuter
H A R T F OR D, Conn.
- A Buick sedan loaded
with teen-agers smashed
into the front fender of
President F o r d 'sbullet-
proof limousine last night
at a downtown intersection
after Ford gave a speech
here. The President said he
was not hurt.
There is "no reason to
believe it was anything but
an accident," Secret Service
spokesman Jack Warner
said.
Hartford police said the driyer
of the Buick sedan that hit the
armored limousine indicated the
collision was not intentional. The
crash was under investigation,
however, and no arrests were
reported.
TWO YOUNG women and
three young men were taken by
police from the scene for ques-
tioning but it was not known if
they were in the car that col-
lided with Ford's limousine or
were merely witnesses to the
crash.
"I feel fine. I feel great,"
Ford told a reporter after he
arrived at the Hartford airport.
Ask if he had been shaken up,
Ford replied, "No, not a bit."
THE SEDAN carrying five
persons hit the right front fen-
der of the Presid'ent's limousine.
Ford was sitting in the right
rear seat with Republican State
Chairman Frederick Biebel who
authorities said hurt his right
wrist.
Deputy Presidential Secretary
J a c k Hushen examined the
President's car before it was
loaded on a cargo plane to be
returned to Washington. He said
there was damage to the front
fender, several dents near the
door handle, a chrome strip on
rig.ht side was torn loose, and a
hub cap was knocked off.

Ford
threatens
vetoes.
HARTFORD, Conn. (/P)-Pres-
ident Ford returned to the politi-
cal arena last night and threat-
ened to use the "veto 100 times"
if the Democratic Congress
passes a 1976 tax cut without
setting a ceiling on federal
spending.
In a speech to a Republican
fund-raising dinner, the Presi-
dent warned, "If the Congress
sends me legislation that ex-
ceeds the spending limitation
and threatens your tax cut, I
will not hesitate to use the con-
stitutional authority available to
me and veto that legislation.
'"THE VETO has been de-
scribed as a 'negative' act, but
I've used it 39 times and saved
the American taxpayers $6 bil-
lion," he said. "I will use it 100
times, if necessary, to prevent
e x c e s s i v e and inflationary
spending increases."

Because of an abnormally,
large number of 'no-shows',
there are approximately 90 va-
canciesrin the Baits housing
complex on North Campus, ac-
cording to the University Hous-
ing staff.
'No-shows' are students who
receive spaces in residence
halls and subsequently choose
other housing accommodations
without informing the Univer-
sity.
IRONICALLY, last spring ap-
proximately 1,200 students were
denied University housing when
they picked high numbers in the
controversial dorm lottery.
By the end of August, most of
these students had located al-
ternative accommodations -
many of them in off-campus
housing.
North Campus Housing area
director Ed Salowitz, said he
had "no idea" why there are
such a large number of vacan-
cies this year.
"WE HAVE not had this
many vacancies at this time of
the year in past years," he said.

He added that the housing
complex had been filled to cap-
acity on paper, but that for un-
known reasons a sizable number
of upperclasspersons and trans-
fer students who had previously
indicated a desire to live in
Baits never moved in, or can-
celled their leases during the
summer.
According to John Finn, direc-
tor of University housing infor-
mation, "Cancellations were no
more than normal, but I know
we' had more no-shows than
usual."
FINN SAID he was unable to
give the numbers of students in
those categories at the present
time.
However, he estimated there
are approximately 3 00 - 4 0 0
spaces presently available in
University housing.
"We had created 213 new
spaces this year by converting
some rooms into economy dou-
bles or triples," Finn added. "So
the figure isn't really as high as
it looks."
AS FOR THOSE students who
didn't make it in last spring's
dorm lottery and who still wish
to return to residence hall liv-
ing, Finn claims that they are
presently being accommodated.
They do not need to sign a
waiting list as do those who are
merely changing rooms within
or between residence halls, he
explained.
He added that "just about all"
