OAKLAND DEFEAT OVERWHELMING
Seale loses in mayoral race
I x er
Artz parts
The rats have begun to leave Student
Government Council's foundering shio.
This is not to say that SGC member-at-
large Laurie Artz is some sort of rat, but
her resignation, submitted yesterday, may
indicate th-t most of SGC has begun to
agree with the greater student body on one
key point; SGC appears to be a wooden
nickel. Artz, in a letter to the Daily yes-
terday, described the outgoing regime of
SGC President Bill Jacobs as "the most
corrupt government I've ever seen or
studied" Artz is a charter member of the
q'sssi-politic I Mad Hatters Tea Party
and a gener Ily outspoken critic of SGC';
methods. While she is not known for red-
h .itiig, she described the recent all-cam-
pes election whi:h swept Lee Gill's Stud-
ent "ishts IPrty to viltsy as "free and
f-ir as elections held in Communist Rus-
sia." She added th-,t "the longer I re-
m-in itt-ched to SGC, the lower my own
credibility sinks."
Pay rolled back
targe-scale pay increases granted to
county emloves 1,st year may he rolled
back by the President's Cost of Laving
Council. Investigtors from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) informed county
offli-ls list week that an audit of the
coslnty payroll had revealed the pay hikes
to be o'er 5 per cent greater than those
allowed under the wage-price g'tidelines.
(founty officials met with IRS represen-
tat'ives in Detroit yesterday afternoon in
an attenst to iron tet differences.

the Rackhsss St'dent Government. Sand-
berg and his running mate, Asaber
Krishna ('hand. won by 75 votes in an
election which attracted little enthusiasms
among University graduate students. Five
students were also elected to the govern-
ment's 15 mesiher executive committee.
Happenings
. . , are sparse again today. If you're
into food you might try the American
Heritage night at the League Cafeteria.
They're serving goodies from the land of
Lakes from 5-7:15. It might be a good day
to stay home and dry out.
Regents meet
The Regents meet today for the first
session of their monthly gathering. Oin
their schedule are discussions with four
deans about minority enrollments in their
schools and a public comments session.
The minority discussions begin at three
o'clock, the comment session about an
hour later.
A2's weather
The sun will shine today, but to little
avail. Due to a polar flow of cold air, the
passage of yesterday's cold front, and a
high pressure center over southern Illi-
nois, the temperatures will not get out of
the 50's. Expect clear skies today with
a high between 49-54 and a low tonite of
35-40.
OAKLAND, Calif. ' Despite a
crushing defeat in yesterday's Oakland

couraged.

ing the people " and indicates that he will
stay in politics.
"We haven't stopped yet," said the
leader of the onc-ilitat Panthers after
losing Tsesday's runoff election to in-
cumbent Republican John Reading. "I

cttse I will riot coscee sthe rights of hu-
mss ; - cings "

ions on city problems.

frontational type of approach the Pan-
tiers were doing fo3r to five years ago."
