U issues guti eliees for Hill Aud. rental By DIANE LEVICK Following the controversy last month over renting Hill Audi- torium to the Friends of the Rainbow People (FRP. the University has issued a new set of rental regulations. The rules include the old prohibitions against smoking and eating except in the outer lobbies and consumption of alcohol. Pets will not be allowed within the building, and the renters will have to supply security personnel at their own expense at events. In addition, the new regulations also state that "Attendance at the event shall be limited to adults, college students, or child- ren accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult supervision." Richard Kennedy, secretary of the University, said in explanation of the age regulations that "one on the problems has been with youngsters about 14 or 15 who enter the auditorium and then open the side doors, giving free access to their friends." Aside from vandalism and wall defacement, Kennedy said that the overriding provocation for the new regulations and stricter enforcement was the fire hazard from smoking. Last month the University denied the use of Hill Aud. to FRP. President Robben Fleming said at that time that the decision was in response to "massive violations of the -law particularly with regard to the use of marijuana," at the last Rainbow Party sponsored event. the "Free John Sinclair" rally on Dec. 10. To rent Hill to FRP, Fleming said, would put the University in the "position of condoning illegal acts."

SENATE TO ACT: House OK's ike WASHINGTON , - The House yesterday approved a two-step increase in the minimum wage to $2 an hour, re- jecting a proposal to make the jump immediately and ex- tend coverage to 5.8 million additional workers. The bill passed by the douse would raise the present $1.60 minimum to $1.80 within two months after enact- ment, and to $2 a year later. Lower rates would be set for teenagers and farm workers. The measure goes to the Senate where a bill raising the minimum to $2.20 an hour this year and expand- e ing the coverage is awaiting rirmntouav final action by the Senate Labor Committee.t11 T h e H o u s e v o te w a s v ic to r y p o u u t i onfmacoo for the administration and a setback for the Democsratle leadership, which had made the $2 minimum now, and the ex- tension of coverage to govern- EL PASO, Tex.

McGovern said U.S. Steel made $154 million net profits in 1971. and did not pay a dime of fed- eral income tax. "That is a situation that must be changed," he said. On the war, McGovern said there were only two reasons that the United States is staying in Vietnam. The first is to save face for President Nixon, and the second is to keep General Thieu in power. "Keeping Thieu in office," de- clared the Senator, "is not worth the life of one additional American or Vietnamese." "As for saving face," he con- tinued, "it is time to stop try- ing to save face and start try- ing to save lives." "In summary," McGovern said, "I say it is time to stop bombing Asians and start build- ing America." McGovern's Flint appearance was attended by some 200 mem- bers of the retiree's chapter and about 300 placard toting h i g h school and elementary school students. The retirees seemed mostly in favor of McGovern. Lloyd Eck- enrod, the 79 year old president of the retirees chapter said he supports McGovern because "he's the first one of the can- didates who will talk about the plight of the retirees." August Alein, 76, worked for General Motors for 53 years - since he was 13 years old. He likes McGovern because "Mc- Govern's trying to help the re- tirees." McGovern, who later in the day visited the Detroit Diesel plant, is making a big drive for labor votes in Michigan. The. bluecollar vote is t n e source of much Wallace strength, and McGovern would 'tike to tap some of that ballot power. Referring to Wallace, Mc- Govern said, "anyone can s a y they are fed up with things in this country. That's easy. It's harder to give specific solu- ti ns." McGovern denied . that he has been afraid to "take on" Wal- lace in Michigan or that Mich- igan will provide a critical test of his ability to beat Wallace. "I beat Wallace in Wisconsin," the senator said. "And I'm here in Michigan to take him on directly." McGovern discounted busing as a major issue in the Michigan primary. "I can't believe that this election will be decided on the issue of busing. The war, not the school bus, is killing people." 1 E l f Voters to decide lottery fate By MARCIA ZOSLAW That lottery sells 4.6 million extending gambling to private The state could gain a badly- tickets a week and expects to casinos in Michigan." needed $60 million for schools net $60 million this year.
