I IFYOU SE NEwS ANCAL7rDlY UHC elections Voters in last week's University Housing Council (UHC) elections narrowly passed a referendum to continue the dormitory boycott of non-United Farm- worker's Union lettuce and grapes, for the fourth straight year. UHC elections director Tim O'Neill called the ten per cent voter turnout "good." In the race for UHC positions, Gary Fabian and Tom Reeder won the presidential and vice-presidential slots, respectively. They will take office next fall along with: Douglas Farr (Alice Lloyd-East Quad district); Otis Washington (Bursley); Susan Sprin- gate (W e s t Quad - Barbour - Newberry); Warren Thornthwaite (Couzens -Mosher -Jordan -Stockwell); Greg Higby (Markley-Oxford); and Edward Zim- merman (South Quad-Fletcher). " Bigger is better? Business economics Prof. Ross Wilhelm says the consumer preference for big cars, despite the energy crisis, came as a shock to the automakers and shows Americans are not willing to lead "sparse and frugal lives." He adds, "The growing demand for big cars flies in the face of all the conventional wisdom that we hear from environ- mentalists that the American people are in the process of changing their life styles and wants because of the onset of a world of scarcity and rapidly diminishing resources." Strike settlement A meeting has been tentatively scheduled to- morrow for the formal signing of contract agree- ments reached a week ago to end the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) employe strike. The EMU Board of Regents voted Friday to approve the contracts with United Auto Workers Locals 1975 and 1976, representing about 550 clerical, ad- ministrative professional and technical employes. The two year pacts provide for a five per cent wage hike retroactive to July 1 last year and another five per cent hike effective next July 1. " Coleman for Carter Detroit Mayor Coleman Young says he will support former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter in the state Democratic presidential primary May 18th. Young said his "dream ticket" would pair Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) and Edward Kennedy (D- Mass.) for the nation's two top jobs in November. Since neither are official candidates, "I don't have any choice but to support him (Carter)." Young predicted the state primary will be a race between Carter and Henry Jackson of Washington, with Alabama Governor George Wallace bringing up third and Rep. Morris Udall of Arizona fourth.

Agreement Teamsters From Wire Service Reports ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Labor Secretary W. J. Usery yesterday an- nounced a tentative agree- ment settling the three- day-old Teamsters union strike which had brought violence to the highways and layoffs in the factor- ies. The agreement putting all the 400,000 Teamsters involved back at their jobs and on the roads is subject to membership ratification. HOWEVER, Teamsters Presi- dent Frank Fitzsimmons said, "We are recalling our men. Our position is the strike has been terminated." The secretary said, "The negotiating committee will re- commend approval to its mem- bership. I look forward to see- ing it ratified as soon as possi- ble." But in Detroit, spokespersons for the auto industry said Gen- eral Motors and American Mo- tors plants which closed Friday because of parts shortages may remain shut for several days until stockpiles can be rebuilt. Officials of Ford and Chrysler, which kept their assembly lines moving, may yet have to halt production due to shortages caused by the first coast-to- coast Teamsters strike.. "IT ALL depends on how many holes there are in the pipeline," a Chrysler spokes- man said. Returning to Washington from two days of campaigning in Wisconsin, Ford issued a statement expressing pleasure with the settlement. "I want to compliment the negotiators and Secretary Usery for their efforts to work out a settlement through the collective bargain- ing process," he said. The strike, which caused lay- offfs in Detroit, Wisconsin and elsewhere in the nation, also triggered sporadic violence against truckers who kept their rigs moving despite the work stoppage. A BULLET shattered the window of a truck on the Ohio turnpike Saturday. Since the strike started, there have been shootings in at least five states. Yesterday's settlement was with Trucking Employers Inc. (TEI), the largest employer's group and the only major one to hold out from an agreement hammered out by Usery Fri- day. The TEI holdout had kept 160,000 Teamsters still on ends strike, strike. After the partial settle- ment announced Friday night, 60 per cent of those covered had been told to get back on the job.. IN ITS short duration, the strike had already forced some auto plants to close down or announce shutdowns. The walk- out had threatened to cripple the nation's economy, stalling shipments of goods from steel to beer. Details of the pact were not disclosed, but reliable Team- ster sources said the union had won its demands for unlimited cost of living rises and a wage and benefits increase of about 30 per cent over three years. Ideologies collide By MARGARET YAO The Second Ward clash between Earl Greene, Democratic candidate, and the radical Socialist Human Rights Party (SHRP) challenger, Diane Kohn, will culminate in tomorrow's city elec- tions. Greene, vigorously hitting the campaign trail over the last three weeks, and Kohn, making a last-ditch attempt for the ex- piring third party, have dominated the Ward Two contest. The Republican contender, James Reynolds, has run a quiet-almost invisible-campaign in this liberal and heavily student-populated ward. THE DIFFERENCES in the political philosophies of the ideal- istic Kohn and Greene, a strict party man, emerge almost imme- diately in their debates on the police department, enforcement of the city's Human Rights Ordinance and housing. Kohn, a bookstore employe, strongly advocates the election of a five-member citizens' control board empowered to discipline and fire officers. She also wants to take guns away from police, explaining, "Guns are dangerous. All that guns do is encourage more people to have shoot-outs with the police." Greene, on the other hand, does not think a community com- mittee controlling the police department is "realistic." Instead, he believes that a Democratic majority on council would be able to pressure the department into rearranging priorities. IN HIS Virginian drawl, he asserts that the department should send more police into the field and cut down on administrative See WARD, Page 2 Daily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS , 'IDon'tcha fee l ii.':leg' Playing to a packed house of over 4,000 at Hill Auditorium last night, Maria Muldaur crooned through a series of her hits.

R UNS FOR ESCH'S SEA T: Stempien enters race By PHILLIP BOKOVOY Marvin Stempien, former ma- jority floor leader of the state House of Representatives, yes- terday declared his candidacy for the U.S. Congress in Michi- gan's 2nd Congressional Dis- trict. The9LivoniarDemocrat lost his 1972 bid for that seat to Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor). But, this year Esch is vacating his position to run for the U.S. Senate. "I AM concerned today, as I was in 1972, about the future of o'r nation and about the lives of the people in this district," said Stempien at a press conference in the Michigan Union yesterday morning. He will face at least two other candidates in the Democratic nrimary in August - Monroe County Commissioner Delbert Hoffman and Dr. Edward Pierce, who narrowly lost to John Reuther in the 1974 pri- mary. Two Republicans have also de- clared their candidacies in the August primary. They are Ann Arbor City Councilman Ronald Trowbridge and Carl Pursell of Livonia. STEMPIEN calls the economy an overriding issue in this year's elections. "I will be in the forefront of the fight to restore our economy, to cut inflation and to promote the creation of jobs and oppor- tunity for small businessmen," he stated at yesterday's press conference. The Democrat vehemently at- tacked whatrhetermed "the Nixon-Ford administration" for depriving "American working people of a decent standard of living." The 42-year-old Stempien is a University graduate and served six years in the state House, which included a stint as chair- man of the Judiciary Subcom- mittee on Consumer Protection, and was also chairman of the secialscommittee on the Con- sumer Credit Code. Door-to-door passage rests on student turnout Stempien By JAY LEVIN Daily News Analysis The passage of a ballot proposal retaining door- to-door voter registration in the city rests on a high student voter turnout in tomorrow's elec- tion, and local democrats have been working double time trying to coax an apathetic student body out to the polls. Indeed, the system-instituted here last Sep- tember by a resolution permitting the city clerk to deputize registrars - has been opposed by some local Republicans for its tendency to re- cruit non-Republican types, those voters who normally would not register. Democrats, how- ever, adhering to the principle of maximum voter participation, favor door-to-door's continued ex- istence. THE DEMOCRATS hope that a large student turnout can counteract traditional mass turnouts in the staunchly Republican Third and Fifth Wards, and approve the door-to-door proposal after its defeat last year. Yet this is 1976, and student involvement in the political spectrum has cooled since the rau- cous heydey of the '60's. Last year, for example, ,only 55 per cent of Ward Two's 2,881 registered voters between the ages of 18 and 20 cast ballots in the election, a figure which, if repeated, could spell doom for the proposal's passage. "OUR DIFFICULTY is getting people to the polls," Greg Hebert, Democratic Second Ward Chairperson who favors door-to-door. "You can register all the students you want, but if they don't come to the polls, it (the ballot proposal) will lose." The Democrats' aim is to reach the voters in the Second Ward, which encompasses a huge chunk of University students, particularly dormi- tory residents. Howe-er, a slibdiied campaign by See DOOR, Page 2 Hard campaign trail tests hopeful's mettle By MICHAEL BLUMFIELD At quarter to six, Martin Black heads his green Fire- bird - equipped with bro- chures and a map of city and county sections of ward three- towards a student apartment building. He doggedly treads on, spending another Saturday campaigning for election to City Council. Walking up to the apart- ment, Black tries to remember where the managers live, hop- ing to avoid their detection. "I'LL JUST HIT all the apart- ments away from theirs first so they don't kick us out too quick- ly," he reasons. Black knocks on the first door. "Hello, I'm Martin Black, candidate for City Council for the Third Ward. Could I leave you some of my literature?" he "CAN YOU USE something other than this bicentennial line? I'm getting sick of it." Black slowly explains that he, too, is tired of the approach "but my publicity people tell me to use it." After an initially favorable response, he quickly gets the customary reply - an abrupt "OK, I'll look it over, Thank you." In his standard spiel, Black invites the resident to ask him any questions on city council - "how it works, why it sometimes doesn't work" - and invites them to give him a call if nothing occurs to them. So far, after knocking on over 1,500 doors, he hasn't gotten a single call. But he has gotten a lot of flak from his subconscious for the direction of the whole cam- paign.
