a Officials apprehend prisoners near Ypsi By TIM YAGLE Two men who escaped from the Washtenaw County Jail in Ann Arbor late Tuesday night were apprehended in Ypsilanti by county officials yester- day. Danny Hopkins and Kelly Cross, both 24 years old, escaped from the jail at 10:49 p.m. Tuesday, according to the jail's Security Commander Raymond Zakrzewski. THE COMMANDER said the inmates broke the locks on two steel doors - which prison officials admitted were The Michigan Daily--Thursday, June 7, 1979-Page 3 weak - and scaled a 14-foot exterior ZAKRZEWSKI SAID the escape oc- wall using a propped-up ping-pong curred "around 10 to 15 minutes" table.

See YPSILANTI, Page 9 GOP contender Bush calls for draft registration By MICHAEL ARKUSH special to The Daily PITTSBURGH - Republican presidential candidate George Bush last night said the federal government should immediately institute a national registration program for 18-year-olds to prepare America in case another nation-wide draft is needed in the near future. But the 54-year-old former CIA direc- tor clearly stated during a news con- ference at the Hilton Hotel that a new draft is not currently needed and such a program should be free from exem- ptions to the "rich or those who want to study their way out of the draft." "THERE WERE too many loopholes in the last draft. It should be universal to have a wide variety of people. You're not talking about being in the army forever; you can come out and still get an education," said Bush. Bush, who announced his formal can- didacy early last month, has been criss- crossing the nation the last few months to overcome his meager standing at the polls. He trails the party front-runner, Ronald Reagan, John Connally, and Howard Baker. But his underdog role apparently has not dampened his hopes for a term in the White House. While acknowledging he has poor name recognition across the country, the former ambassador to the United Nations said he would cam- paign hard, predicting that a good solid' organization can overcome low popularity. "I'M CONVINCED I'll get the nomination. I think I'm the most likely Republican to beat Jimmy Carter, who I expect will get the Democratic nomination," he said. Sounding many familiar Republican themes concerning national defense and economic policy, the candidate said the government must limit the growth of federal spending by seven per cent annually and produce a balanced budget by 1982. He stated, however, that American commitment to the Nor- th Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) must be increased by three per cent per year to maintain security. Blaming both Congress and the Car- ter administration for the nation's energy crisis, Bush said he believes an effort should be made to coordinate the coalition of free world countries to per- suade Saudi Arabia that cooperation in setting oil prices would be to their in- terest. He flatly rejected the idea of a western oil cartel simnilar to OPEC but insisted more cooperation could ease the shortage significantly. HE ALSO called on the president to immediately lift economic sanctions against Rhodesia now that the new prime minister, Abel Muzorewa has taken over. Bush said the new regime signalled a crucial improvement over the Smith administration, which justified an end to the sanction. "Rhodesia has come a long way. It's time for the president to lead and list the sanctions; it's in America's interest to have a country that-is going to be friendly to the free world and not to bring some Marxist-Leninist factions to the government," he said. When asked about the bitter op- position that could come from the black regimes of Africa if the sanctions were lifted, the candidate raised his voice and said, "I don't care about other reactions. It's time for America to stand up." HE WAS LESS sure, however, of his position on the new SALT agreement, although he said he favors moves to limit strategic arms on both sides. He warned that a bad treaty is worse than no treaty at all. He did say, however, his current knowledge of the treaty leads him to oppose it. But he made clear that this was not his final decision. He refused to join the bandwagon in Congress, and even among some of Carter's closest aides, who contend that Energy Secretary James Schlesinger must resign. But Bush did say the Department of Energy should not have been created by the Carter government because it has "just added more headaches to the problem and hasn't solved anything." It was a busy day for Bush. He had spoken in Philadelphia in the afternoon and was scheduled to fly to Connecticut last night. He also did some politicking among Allegheny County Republicans after his news conference in order to set up organizations to remove his dark- horse label. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate George Bush yesterday called for a national draft registration, during a press conference in Pittsburgh. This picture was taken when Bush appeared in Detroit last March. r-toda Love on the tracks- James Love, 44, didn't even blink when three engines pulling 47 railroad cars rumbled over him as he slept on the tracks in Petersburg, Va. "I'd say it was miraculous," said Petersburg Police Lt. Don Marin. "He's lucky he wasn't torn all to pieces." The train's engineer spotted someone lying between the tracks yesterday at 4:40 a.m., but couldn't stop the train in time. Love was charged with public drunkeness and was trundled home by a relative, Marin said. Travolta, move over The VIP club in Bridgeville, Pa. is typical disco-flashing lights, loud, pumping music, and jiving bodies. The bodies, however, all are over 55 years old. and most are in their 70s and 80s. "It makes me feel sweet 16 all over again," giggled 66- year-old Theresa Sabatini. Maggie Jason, wife of the club's owner, in December initiated senior citizens nights on the first Monday of every month. Senior citizens don't have to pay admission, and all non-alcoholic beverages are free to them. Transpor- tation used to be provided, but when the crowd grew to 500, the free rides were abandoned. Now the elderly hoofers organize their own transportation, from chartering buses to asking their kids for rides. "They really don't want to listen to Guy Lombardo and all the old stuff)," said disc jockey Bill Sweet- ser. "They want disco." Catherine Sheehan is 82 and said she's trying to learn disco steps. "If everyone did the same thing, I could catch it a lot quicker-but I just keep watching and trying," she said.
