Peanut gallery
Feeding the monkeys seemed to be the intent
of at least one City Council observer Monday
night, who came into council chambers ready for
a real'Barnum and Bailey affair. Plopping down
handfuls of peanuts in front of each councilper-
son's microphone, the, observer simply remarked,
"What's a circus without peanuts?" Maybe it's
time for Mayor Al to come in with a chair and
a whip...

Apathetic about apathy
A Georgia radio station's morning talk show on
public apathy proved its point Monday when only
two calls were received during the entire pro-
gram. "On other topics we have been averaging
20-30 calls aired and probably lots of other at-
tempts," said a radio spokesperson for WALG.
Keep out the boys!
The Girls Scouts of America voted unanimously
to maintain and uphold the solidarity of their or-
ganization - by keeping out the boys. Last year
the Boy Scouts voted to allow girls aged 14 to 21
into their Explorer Division. Girls Scout delegates
and about 2,700 visitors discussed whether their
membership should include boys. But by the clap-
ping and cheering it was obvious from the start
that the idea was doomed. So much for integration.
Testing the tests
The College Entrance Examination Board an-
nounced yesterday that they will begin an investi-
gation into the national decline in the Scholastic
Apitude Test (SAT) scores. Board President Sid-
ney Marland said that the scope of the exami-
nation will range from the nature of the test itself
to broad social conditions affecting education. "At
this time we have no substantial evidence that en-
ables us to attribute the score decline to any
single cause or any particular set of causes," said
Marland. He added that there are four areas of
speculation over the drop in scores; the scientific
nature of the tests themselvgs, the characteristics
of the students taking them, the nature of second-
ary education, and aenergl conditions in society.
And wi*h such a wide choice it could be years
before they come up with an answer.

Americans flee ravaged Beirut
75 reported killed
as Moslem-Ciristian
civil strife continues
By AP and Reuter
BEIRUT, Lebanon - At least 75 people were killed
yesterday as Lebanon's civil war raged on with increased
ferocity and convoys of Americans and other foreigners
sped to the airport for flights out of this strife-torn
capital.
Marine guards at the U. S. Embassy changed from
dress blues to combat fatigues a'nd flak jackets when
stray rounds from a nearby combat zone began* hitting
the building. Rocket-propelled grenades and machine
gun bursts slammed into three of Beirut's most expen-

REQUESTS PLO PARTICIPATION:
Sadat asks peace conference
sive hotels.
NONSTOP ' FIGHTING has
made it impossible to accurate-
ly count casualties, but offic-
ials said 17 persons were killed
and more than 20 wounded in
one Moslem area alone when it
came under a Christian shelling.
They estimated that 120 died on
Monday.
The death toll for the past
nine weeks of factional vio-
lence now stands at about 925.
Premier R a s h i d Karami
announced another cease-fire
bid to end the war between
Christian militiamen and Pales-
tinian - led Moslems. He said a
nine-person "security group"
would meet in his office until
it comes up with "effective
measures to end once and for
all the tragedy that has been
gripping Lebanon." The group
represents leftist, rightist and
religious groups involved in the
fighting.
THE BLOODY street war has
slowly paralyzed government,
commerce and basic public ser-
vices in this small Arab nation
of three million.
The gun battle outside Parlia-
s ment House prevented Leba-
d non's 99-person National Assem-
Sbl from meeting to discuss the
'n crisis. Deputies had to be evac-
o- uated in armored cars.
0 Witnesses said several ve-
s hicles filled with armed Mos-
d lems drove past the parliament
s- building just before the meeting
l started, shouting insults at the
deputies. Bodyguards of Pierre
e Gemayel, leader of the Chris-
d tian Phalange party, opened up
d on the Moslems, and one per-
. son on each side was killed be-
fore the shooting stopped.

Franco 's
condItIon
MADRID, Spain (P) - Gen.
Francisco Franco, at the brink
of death from a series of heart
attacks, suffered a sharp set-
back yesterday with the de-
velopment of an intestinal blood
clot, his doctors reported.
They said the 82-year-old gen-
eralissimo was in "extraordin-
arily grave" condition.
A BULLETIN from the 13-doc-
tor medical team said that in
addition to Franco's perilous
heart. condition and blood clot,
he is suffering increased inter-
nal bleeding and intestinal pa-
ralysis.
One of his doctors said the
tough . old general opened his'
eyes briefly and wept when he
was presented with a cloak of
the Virgin of Pilar, Spain's pa-
tron saint. Franco has con-
trolled the nation's destiny since
the 1936-39 civil war.

WASHINGTON- Egypt's President Anwar
Sadat yesterday called for a resumption of
the Geneva Peace Conference with partici-
pation by the Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation (PLO) "as an equal partner."
Sadat emerged from a second round of
talks with President Ford stressing that the
United States held most of the cards in the
quest for Middle East peace and must open
a dialogue with the Palestinian's.
"IF WE are going to achieve any global
solution for this problem (Middle East ten-
sions), it will not be reached without the
Palestinians," Sadat told reporters.
He said he had made Ford aware of his
view that "the United States holds 99 per
cent of the cards of this game" and there-
fore must get together with the Palestin-
ians. The U.S. has withheld recognition
from the PLO because it has not recognized
Israel's existence.
President Ford said last night the U.S.
was exploring every avenue to bring peace
to the Middle East and would not tolerate
stagnation in the negotiations for an over-
all settliment.
DIPLOMATIC sources said Egypt wa
sending formal notification to the Unite
States and the Soviet Union, co-chairme
of the dormant peace conference. Dipl
matic sources said it would take about tw
months to restart the conference if all side
approved. In the meantime, Sadat urge
Ford to have Secretary of State Henry Kis
singer mediate another Israeli withdrawa
on the Syrian front.
"As much as I know," he said, "th
United States ready to perform its goo
offices to fulfill such an agreement as thi

U. S. Congressman James
O'Hara (D-Mich.) yesterday an-
nounced his candidacy for the
Senate at a Washington D. C.
press conference during which
he dwelled on his experience
and longtime Democratic Party
membership.
O'Hara is the third Democrat
to unveil plans to run for Sen..
Philip Hart's (D-Mich.) seat.
Hart chose not to seek re-elec-
tion next year, after his third
to run
term expires.
ALSO campaigning for tne
Democratic Party nomination
are O'Hara's fellow Congress-
man Don Riegle of Flint and
State Sen. John Otterbacher of
Grand Rapids.

UAC rejects Ky,
Shockley speeches
By CATHERINE REUTTER
After more than two hours of disorganized, far-ranging debate,
the University Activities Committee (UAC) Governance Board
voted last night to reject plans to invite former South Vietnamese
Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and self-proclaimed geneticist William
Shockley to speak on campus.
In a 6-5 vote against the controversial Shockley and a 7-4 vote
against Ky, the board upheld an earlier veto of the invitations.
The original plans, proposed by Norman LoPatin, chairman of the
"World Series" lecture program, were first rejected by UAC's
senior officers.
UAC PRESIDENT Bill Powers, one of the officers whose veto
prices, jobs, and energy," 0'-
Hara told reporters.
"Democratic primary voters
may have to base their deci-
sions on their perception of who
has performed most effectively
up to now and who can be ex-
pected to perform best as Mich-
igan's next United States sena-
tor," he added.
O'HARA, who lives in Utica
and represents a predominate-
ly white, blue collar district in
suburban Detroit, is serving
his ninth term in the House.
O'Hara's 17-year tenure will
probably be his strong point in
battling Riegle who was first
elected to Congress in 1966 and
was a Republican until early
1973.
The Democratic field may get.
even more crowded, as state
Attorney General Frank Kelley
and Secretary of State Richard
Austin are supposedly eyeing
the Senate seat.
No Republicans have, as yet,
formally announced intentions
of running. But Congressman
Marvin Esch (R-Mich.), Ann
Arbor's representative, is ex-
pected to campaign vigorously
for his party's nomination.
U-n i v e r s it y Regent
O'Hara
Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor)
has also expressed an interest
in the GOP nomination.
O'HARA said yesterday that
lowering unemployment m the
state would be his first priority
in the Senate. In conjunction, he
added, he would seek a tax re-
duction for the average Ameri-
can family.
O'Hara also declared that
economic stability depends, on
"breaking up the major, oil
companies" - a call that Hart
has often sounded.
