Director of MSU's substance abuse program, Dr. David Yacovone, said the drug com- bined with methodone reduced, and in some cases eliminates vomiting, nausea, cramping and other discomforts associated with heroin withdrawals. Yacovone also said some patients could rely on the non-addictive Darvon-N and avoid treatments with methadone, a controversial addictive heroin substitute. 0 Hap penings-..-. ...begin with a reception for Pulitzer Prize winning poet James Wright in the Hopwood Room, Angell Hall from 10-11:30 a.m. . . . from 1-3:30 p.m. Janet Wolfe will conduct an Assertive- ness Training workshop for men and women at Washtenaw Community College, Lecture Hall III, Exact Science Bldg. . . .

Henry gossips Super charmer Henry Kissinger found former president Richard Nixon less than charming. In fact, the Secretary of State told dinner companions he found Nixon "odd, artificial, and unpleasant," the Washington Post reported yesterday. The Post said a microphone to be used to transmit Kissin- ger's after dinner speech at an Ottawa state ban- quet in his honor there on Tuesday night was ac- cidentally left on during the meal. And so Kis- singer's caustic comments were relayed to wait- ing reporters in another room. However, there was also praise: "Nixon was one of our better presi- dents. You know, he was an odd man, but he was very decisive in his own way. He went to the heart of the problem." " We're wonderful, but .. . We're wonderful, but we're just not political enough. That is the benevolent judgement of fa- mous baby doctor Benjamin Spock on today's youth. Dr. Spock said at a hospital seminar in Portland, Ore. that he gets fewer invitations than he once did to speak to militant student groups. "Students are more cautious," than in the 1960's. They don't feel they have to be active now be- cause no one is asking them to go out and kill." Thank God for that. " Birth control .. . Women, if you're unhappy with the birth control pill and the IUD, how about something to com- bine the two? A Chicago gynecologist has invented the Progesterone MD, which he claims combines features of the pill and intrauterine devices and is safer and mpre effective than either method. Dr. Antonio Scommegna said yesterday the device has been tested in 6,000 women during the last four years and proved 99 per cent effective. ...And more And a note that makes a new birth control idea gain importance - The FDA said yesterday it will soon propose new labels for birth control pills ad- vising women over 40 not to take the pill and warning all users they may risk blood clots and heart attacks. The warning will also state that the women who become pregnant despite the pill run the risk of having children with birth defects or suffering complications during pregnancy. 0 Solar surrey.

Melvin DeStigter (R-Allendale) doesn't like teenage drunks. He figures most people under 21 don't know how to hold their liquor - be it beer, Boone's Farm, or apricot brandy. AND HIS answer to this supposed problem is a bill he introduced in the state legislature return- ing the legal drinking age to 21. The bill is currently pending before the House Liquor Committee. It would raise the drinking age from 18 and make violations of the law mis- demeanors, according to DeStigter's legislative aide. A similar bill, also proposed by DeStigter and under consideration by the Judiciary Committee, specifies that anyone obtaining liquor on behalf of E to rais persons under 21 would face misdemeanor charges. DeStigter claims that evidence suggests that 18-year-olds cannot handle liquor. "Many kids are still young and wet behind the ears when they're 18." he says. HE CONTENDS that "in the area of public safety, the driving record of the 18 to 21-year- olds has increased 69 per cent in fatal accidents" since the lower drinking went into effect in 1972. Some researchers, however, say that no posi- tive relationship has been established between the reduced drinking age and the increase in auto accidents involving teenage drivers. They say the increase in such accidents repre- sents a trend pre-dating the 18-year-old drinking age. s e rinking BUT DeStigter is also concerned that young teenagers - the 14 to 16-year-olds - have great- er access to alcohol through their older friends. Many 18-year-olds now legally buy liquor for the teens who would otherwise quench their thirsts on soda pop, according to DeStigter. State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) says and wel he will not support DeStigter's bills because he does not see "abuse as a function of age." when th -BULLARD; however, adds "on a broader per- spective, there's no doubt that alcohol is an ex- tremely destructive drug. We shouldn't advertise it in a way that only glamorizes it." The proposed legislation would amend three sections of the Liquor Act which became effec- tive in February 1972, according to a spokesman for the State Liquor Control Commission.

Melvin DeS tigter Labor Department begins investigation of Teamster funds W A S H I N G T O N (2)-The Labor Department has begun a preliminary investigation of a $1.4 bil- lion Teamsters Union pen- sion fund amid criticism the department is not en- forcing a new pension re- form law. Sen. Harrison Williams (D-N.J.), chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, expressed concern o v e r what he called the depart- ment's "unacceptable de- lay in implementation of the new fiduciary stand- ards" in the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Secur- ity Act. IF INVESTIGATORS look hard enough, they would find a seemingly classic test of one standard in the new law - a $7 million loan made by the Team- sters, Central States, South- east and Southwest Area Pen- sion Fund at four per cent in- terest, with no down payment required and no repayment of any of the $7 million scheduled for 10 years. Labor Secretary John Dun- lop said investigators are ex- amining records filed with the government by the Central States Fund to see if a full-scale investigation is warranted. Dunlop's exchange of letters with Williams was released Thursday by Williams. Sen. Ro- bert Griffin (R-Mich.) also has said he is "deeply disturbed" by the situation. IN CALIFORNIA, A I I e n Biggs, a Teamsters spokes- man, said there would be no. immediate comment on the de- partment's inquiry. "We haven't seen the report. We wouldn't know what we were comment- ing on," he said. Biggs was reached at a union convention at the resort com- munity of La Costa, about 100 miles south of Los Angeles. The $200 million resort, which has a $50 million loan outstanding to the pension fund under inves- tigation, has been probed by federal, state and local law enforcement officials as an al- leged meeting place of organiz- ed crime figures. The Central States Fund has been looked at on and off by probers fOr 20 years. Occa- sionally someone connected with it has gone to jail. The newest interest in the fund was fueled by the disappearance of form- er Teamsters President. James Hoffa. THE FUND.has long invested the bulk of its assets in real estate, ranging from Las Vegas casinos to condominiums to race tracks and residential pro- jects. Many of the loans or their recipients have ended in de- fault, bankruptcy, or foreclos- ure. And terms of some loans have been for different from normal terms in the real estate market. Some recipients have been linked to organized crime. The $7 million, four per cent Central States loan involves a planned real estate develop- ment in Los Angeles called Bev- erly Ridge Estates. BULLETIN NEW YORK (Reuter)-New York officials say the city could default on its debts later today -in effect going bank- rupt - after school teachers early this morning refused to lend their pension funds to help bail out the city. Faculty, CS seak to Regentts By BILL TURQUE The Board of Regents yesterday heard two pointed arguments: one for a substantial faculty salary increase, and a second en- dorsing recommendations for a complete overhaul in student gov- ernance. Members of the Commission to Study Student Governance (CSSG) and officers of five school and college governments asked the board to endorse the recommendations of the commission, which include: a re-organization of the Student Government Coun- cil through a constitutional convention, increased student participa- tion at the school and college levels, and a non-voting student seat on the Regents. THE BOARD will begin voting on the commission's recommen- dations at this morning's meeting.

FACTIONAL DISPUTE: ' 'Unity' By ELAINE FLETCHER Supporters of the University Clericals' f o r m e r bargaining team, billing themselves as the Unity Caucus, won a majority of seats late last night over the Clericals f o r a Democratic Union (CDU) in the election of a seven person bylaws commit- tee. The vote followed unsuccess- ful attempts by members of Unity Caucus to have a bylaws proposal drafted by the former bargaining team accepted in toto. THE NEW clerical local (UAW 2001) which ratified its first con- tract with the University in August, last montherupted in controversy over the question of whether the former bargain- ing team or a committee to be elected should write the bylaws. Although CDU rallied enough support at the last meeting to call for the election of a by- laws committee, the impact of that decision was largely negat- ed in the election last night. The bylaws committee-made un of four Unity Caucus sup- along - the right of the mem- bership as the highest author- ity, release-time pay to offic- ials and monthly membership meetings." The bargaining team had pro- posed that a representative council take the place of the membership as the highest au- thority, that the local presi- dent's salary be $15,000 per year, and that membership meetings be held twice a year. "It was a very frustrating fight" commented Sue Hanson, another CDU member. "We ex- pected to do better. We didn't have enough people and there were 10 spoiled ballots - most- ly supporting us." H O W E V E R, CDU did win sufficient support to halve a $20 initiation fee set previously by former bargaining team members. "I'm really glad - it -was a major issue," commented Weeks. Both sides lamented the small turnout of about 200 clericals.
