According to elections consultant Tim O'Neill, "It was fairly heavy; we had about 1,000 people." He stated that, if "the weather holds out," last spring's vofer total of 2,600 should be surpassed. SGC elections end on Thursday. Bottoms up State Rep. PerryBullard (D-Ann Arbor) has in- troduced legislation that will make it easier for smaller restaurants to get liquor licenses. Bullard says the present restriction of one license per 1,500 residents in a community hurts small restaurants -particularly those specializing in foreign foods. The measure pertains only to eateries and not to bars. "Since social drinking with dinner is a deep- ly entrenched custom in American culture, a qual- ity restaurant which cannot offer wine or before dinner drinks is simply not considered by many people when they choose a restaurant," says Bul- lard. We'll drink to that . .. or just about anything else. Mightly costly Robert and Michael Meeropol, sons of the con- victed atomic bomb spies Julius and Ethel Rosen- berg, were told Monday that the FBI will charge them $23,451 to obtain nearly 30,000 pages of infor- mation the agency has about their parents. Robert, a University grad, and Michael have sued under the Freedom of Information Act to get the mater- ial on their parents, who were executed in 1953 as spies. Under the act, government agencies can charge a search and copying fee for information requested by citizens. The Meeropols, who have taken the name of their adoptive parents, have been trying to prove that the Rosenbergs were wrongly convicted of espionage. s Happenings.. .. begin with a UAC/MUSKET sponsored pre- view of the musical Godspell on the Diag at 1 p.m. . . .

Cleaver told reporters he has perceived a "different mood" in the country which will allow him to get a fair trial on charges that he violated parole and on a grand jury indictment' concerning a 1966 shoot-out in which two police officers were injured. Cleaver has lived in Cuba, Algeria, and France since he left the United States in 1968.

Two men held up the bank at gunpoint, obtain- ed a "large sum" of money according to city police, then fled in a small red car which was found a short time later at the nearby Plymouth Mall. THE GETAWAY car, said a police official, was reported stolen in Florida. The robbery was the 18th in the Ann Arbor area this year and the sixth in the last seven weeks. Police are seeking a dark-haired white male who has appeared in photographs made by security cameras at several of the heists. However, the suspects in yesterday's robbery were both identified as black. Area bank officials are likely to watch the investigation of yesterday's hold-up closely. The robbery was the first to occur since area banks instituted a citizen action reward program early this month in cooperation with city, state, and federal police. THE PROGRAM will pay up to $1,000 for in- formation leading to the arrest of a robbery suspect. Police officials are careful to emphasize that the value of tips leading to arrests will be evaluated by a group of police and bank offic- ials and will be rewarded accordingly. Not all tips will be rewarded with the full $1,000 reward. The names of all informants will be held in confidence. The suspect police are seeking in connection with several of the robberies appears to be ronet nossibly a student, usually appears in s.q-i-sses. and has been seen with varying hair 1 th. ALLEGED STEMPEL KIDNAPPERS Pair may not face state charges By KEN PARSIGIAN The two local men being held on federal extortion charges in connection with the Nov. 10 kid- napping of a General Motors' ex- ecutive's son may not have to face state kidnapping charges. The Oakland County Prose- cutor's office, which withdrew from the case last week at the request of the FBI, did not file charges yesterday, and may de- cide not to file them at all. As a result,' federal kidnap- ping charges have been filed against the pair. , However, it is generally more difficult to get a conviction under federal charges because it must then be proven that the suspected 'kidnappers used extortion to in- terfere with inter-state com- merce. "WE ARE still trying to de- cide whether or not to prose- cute the two men," said Oak- land County assistant prosecu- tor Richard Thompson. Thomp- son added that he expected a decision by Friday, but he wouldn't comment as to the probable outcome of that deci- sion. Clinton Williams, 19, of Ann Arbor and Darryl Wilson, 22, of Inkster have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of 13-year-old Timothy Stem- pel. The boy, son of GM's Chevro-. let Division engineering director Robert Stempel, was abducted outside his Bloomfield Town- ship home and released two days later when his father de- livered the $150,000 ransom. The prosecution's started last Friday when the FBI asked the Oakland county officials to drop the case. Thompson claims that the FBI threatened to with- draw unless it was allowed to make the arrest on federal war- rants. "ONCE THE FBI decided that they wanted us off the case we withdrew," said Thompson. "Our job is to honor the deci- sion made by the federal au- thorities," he added. "They wanted to run the show and we let them." After. calling off the local au- thorities last Friday, the FBI ar- rested Wilson and Williams on charges of extortion, a federal chargethat carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison See PAIR, Page 2 Daily Photo by SCOTT ECCKER Hoop shooters These two women, Barb Seel (left) and Margaret Van Ben- schoten, demonstrate their playing skills on the East Quad basketball court. Internal bleeding hits failing Franco By AP and Reuter MADRID, Spain-Gen.

By JIM FINKELSTEIN U' goof causes A recent blunder by the .University Grounds Depart- ment has forced them to tear up a costly section of sidewalk that had been put in only a month ago. The scene of the gaffe is a 40-square-yard patch of what used to be grass, located in front of the Uni- versity Extensions Service Building on Maynard Street near William. A FEW WEEKS ago, the Grounds Department suc- cessfully eradicated the patch of greenery, leaving 40 square yards of gleaming white concrete.
