If you guessed Governor William Milliken, Secretary of State Richard Austin or Attorney General Frank Kelley, you're wrong. The top wage earner was none other than our own President Robben Flem- ing, who rolled in $67,725 in 1975, a three per cent pay hike over the previous year. Last year, you will recall, was a period of budget cuts and aus- terity for most of the University. By comparison, Michigan Tech President Raymond Smith earned $61,200 last year, and Milliken pulled in 47 grand. Michigan universities also grant fringe benefits ranging from $7,000 to $14,300 a year. "You don't get that kind of man to head up a school with a national reputation for any less," a state Senate aide said. Heck, if anyone asked, we'd do it for free.

" I'll sting ny lore for you Some guys know how to take a hint. Then there's Michael Hubbard of Akron, Ohio. Mike's been liv- ing with his girlfriend, Rosie Moss, for several years and planned to marry her yesterday. But he called the wedding off from his hospital bed, where he's resting comfortably from the bullet wound Rosie put into his right leg. In fact, it's the third time she's shot him in 16 months. "I'm not getting married now," says Mike. "I'm no fool. I'm tired of getting shot." Police said reports have been filed with them on each of the shootings, but Mike has refused to press charges. Rosie? "He tries to rule," she says, "anti that don't go." Mike adds that until this week, the couple had been "getting along pretty well" since the second shooting, but he's "moving out" now. What's the matter, Mike, no Valentine's Day spirit? 0 Intelligence leans CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr said Friday an' "inescapable decision of journalistic con- science" led him to supply the Village Voice of New York with a leaked copy of the House In- telligence Committee's secret final report. The realization that he might be the only person out- side the government with a copy of the report, Schorr said, made him decide "I could not be the one responsible for suppressing the report." The reporter did not disclose where he obtained the report, which was published in its entirety in the Voice despite Ford Administration efforts to keep its findings secret. " Googlbye Columbo A new Rand Corp. report says real-life police detectives tend to picture themselves - quite in- appropriately - as crack investigators in the best TV cop show tradition. Television, the Cali- fornia think tank reports, portrays the working detective as "a clever, imaginative, perseverant, streetwise cop who consorts with glamorous wo- men and duels with crafty criminals," and that "this is the image that many investigators pre- fer." But the Rand analysis also shows that unlike Kojak, Mannix, Columbo and Sgt. Friday, police detectives seldom solve crimes through their own initiative and brilliant investigative work. In fact, it's "routine police procedures" 'that break most cases. An administr~ator of the Law En- forcement Assistance Administration, which spon- sored the study, said its finding "should stimu- late a major re-examination of police depart- ments in the country."

On , tfn a ., t .. -Nigerian slain; co, By AP and Reuter LAGOS, Nigeria-The Chief of Staff of the Nigerian armed forces took over as head of state today and told the nation he would carry on with the "dynamic" policies of his predecessor, General Murtala Mu- hammed, killed yesterday in an abortive coup. Lieutenant General Alusegun Abasanjo, the new leader, said in a broadcast that General Muhammed and four other Ni- gerian soldiers died in "this dastardly attack" by a few dissident troops. He nam- ed the rebel organizer as Lieutenant Col- onel B. S. Dimka of the Army Physical Training Corps. UNOFFICIAL sources put the death toll in Friday's miliitary uprisiing at 32, but the Su- preme Military Council made no official an- nouncement. The murdered Head of State was buried in his northern hometown of Kano with full military leader p fails u honors today while Nigeria entered a week of national mourning. General Obasanjo said in his 10-minute broad- cast that his Administration would continue with the dynamic policy of the late General Mu- hammed. "WE ARE all now obligated to continue with the various policies laid down by the Supreme Mili- tary 'Council under the dynamic leadership of General Muhammed," he said. "All policies of the Federal Military Govern- ment will continue as before and all ministries should continue their usual duties. This tragic incident can only lead to a greater dedication to the upliftment and progress of this nation," he added. Witnesses to the assassination said a group of soldiers opened up with machine guns, riddling Muhammed's car with bullets. They said they later saw four bodies in the street near the car.

Deputy City Clerk Winnifred Hodges said that 1,228 people registered to vote in January, 1975. She attributes the rise to the new registration method. THE resolution, passed in Sept. 1975, allows any voter registered in the city to become a deputy registrar after suffi- cient training. So far, 121 regis- trars have been deputized by the city clerk's office. The system has been a point of political contention among Council members since its in- ception. Though no fraud by registrars has been apparent, Councilman Roger Bertoia (R- Third Ward) called the system "too difficult to control and I'm sure campaigning does go on while people are registering." But several first-time can- didates for Council, whose cam- paigns maybe substantially aid- ed by the new method, disagree with Bertoia's stand. "THIS IS a much more demo- cratic process," said Second Ward Democrat Earl Greene. "Rather than having to go to City Hall, it comes to you. For this reason Republicans don't like it.' University student Sue An- drews who has been registering Markley Hall residents for three weeks agrees. "Most students aren't aware they can vote in Ann Arbor," she said. Over 400 students have been registered so far at Mark- ley and South Quad. Registrars hope to sweep the other large University dorms before the March 8 deadline. TO BE continued, the door-to- door system must be approved by the electorate as a city char- ter amendment in the April elec- tion. A similar proposal was soundly defeated 13,382-9,249 last year. Said Myrtle Cox,, vice-presi- dent of the local League of Women Voters, "It (the method) did not provide sufficient ad- ministrative flexibility, account- ability to the people, nor as- surance of fair, accurate and non-partisan voter registration efforts." All voters must be registered for the April 5 election by March 9. Voters may also register at the Michigan Union, the Ann Arbor Public Library, City Hall and in several University dorms where desk clerks have been trained as registrars.

The death penalty, in ao- propriate instances, should be imposed upon conviction of sab- otage, murder, espionage and treason." Aides said Ford has long held this view but acknowledged that they could not recall him stating it since he became President in 1974. Ford flew to Miami from Ft. Myers, Fla., where many thou- sands lined downtown streets as he drove to a municinal ex- hibition hall for a "citizens news conference" that even drew questions from children. FT. MYERS police estimated the total turnout at more than 60,000-by far the biggest crowd Ford has seen anywhere this yea r. Many of the questions echoed those the President gets regu- larly. at question-and-answer sessions during his campaign travels. However,, a small girl came up with a fresh one, asking if Ford thought a woman ever would be president. "WELL, maybe' you will," Ford responded. "I think it's perfectly feasible. I don't think' it's going to come in the very near future." But he added that he thought a woman someday would be president-and said he had bet- ter say that or he would here from his wife, Betty. EARLIER, in St. Petersburg, Ford addressed an open-air rally that drew a police-estimated crowd of about 15,000, many of them retired persons. "As long as I am president," Ford told the applauding crowd, "we are going to keep Social Security protection and every other retirement program strong sound and certain-and we'll do it." A woman with a toy gun strapped to her hip was detain- ed for questioning by Secret Service agents as Ford made his speech. Police Sgt. Joseph Stroemich said the woman ap- parently made no overt action toward the President and "made no verbal threats." ostlic Fleming recalls first love By ANDREA LILLY Hearts fluttered and eyes moistened yesterday as the spirit of St. Valentine bewitched the land, and University President Robben Fleming was no exception. Like the rest of us, the day brought whimsies of lost love affairs. "I was madly in love with a little girl when I was in the first grade," he said with a smile. "She wasn't even aware cof my existence, which was a tragedy. My break came when she got sick in school one day. I gallantly offered to have my mother drive her home and I would accompany her." FLEMING, a battler -from way back, kept on plugging. "It took two more years, when I was in the third grade, for her to become conscious of my existence," he went on. "We had a torrid love affair, as only eight-year-olds can, for about six months. And then it was over. I haven't seen her in thirty years." It was almost that long before Fleming found his first true Valentine - none other than his wife, Sally. FLORIDA PRIMARY CAMPAIGN: Candidates battle for nomination By AP and Reuter The battle for the Republican presidential nomination escalated further yesterday as Presi- dent Ford hinted in Florida that the "extreme" political philosophy of challenger Ronald Reagan would doom the party to defeat in a national election.

FORD TOLD a press conference he was proud of his policy of detente and would not abandon it. ie accused Reagan and aspirants for the Democratic presidential nomination of 'nitpick- ing' and said foreign affairs should not be a campaign issue at all.
