T_ E if ' M CLA I 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.

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. On the inside .. . The Editorial Page features an inside look at Franco's Spain by Richard Boyle of Pacific News Service . . .

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 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." See FORD, Page 2 By LOIS JOSIMOVICH 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. Hearst has no hopes of bein set free SAN FRANCISCO P - Jailed, newspaper heiress Patricia r.

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.

Describing herself as a moderate feminist, she plans a career in the field of Asian studies after graduate school. But to avoid being cloistered forever behind the ivy walls of academia, Laurie plus, and a spreading reputation as an equal op- portunity employer that private business fails to match, are just some of the factors that have created this trend according to Lt.
