How to save your bike
By BILL LEAVITT
It's 10:17 p.m. Thursday, June
28. and Jim Hutchinson is hard
at work on the sixth floor of
the Graduate Library. He gazes.
out the window, and sees two
figures kneeling by his ten-
speed bicycle.
He races downstairs, runs out
to the bike rack. Too late. his
bike is gone.
What can Jim do? If he'calls
the police, he will find he is
one of ten people to have' their
bikes stolen that day in Ann
Arbor --- one of about sixty-five
people to have their bikes stolen
that week.
Sgt. Harold Rady of the Ann
Arbor , Police Dept. estimates
that between fifty and seventy
bikes are stolen in Ann Arbor
each week. Including expensive
ten-speeds, which average about
$125 per bike, that represents
about $6250.
Many of the stolen bikes are
expensive ten-:speeds, which are
taken out of Ann Arbor and re-
sold in other locations. Some are
changed beyond recognition -
serial numbers are erased and
replaced. So the ordinance re-
quiring Ann Arbor bike stores
to file a report on any used
bikes they buy does not help.
According to Rady, the police
are just beginning to realize
the extent of the problem and
the size of the loss. The num-
ber of stolen bikes could dou-
ble or even triple in the fall.
Bike racks are under heavier
surveillance and the police dE'-
partinent is investigating means
of prevention and detection.
"We need citizen involve-
ment," says Rady. "It is only
logical the bike riders should
seek their own means of theft
prevention.'
If you ride your bike in Ann
Arbor or on campus and must
leave it unattended, always
lock it, Rady says.
The best type of chain, ac-
cording to Chuck Gilboe, of
Schlenker Hardware Store, is
made of case hardened steel,
one-half an inch thick, Most
riders lock their bikes with
chains that are one-quarter to
three-eights of an inch thick.
because one-halt inch chains
are heasv and cumbersome. A
chain with links less than one-
half of an inch thick can easily
be cipped with a fifty-dollar

BICYCLES provide one of the major modes of transportation in
the city-especially for students. Lately, 'however, they have also
become a prime target for rip-offs. All too often even a chain
and lock are not enough to discourage thieves from riding off on
your bike and selling it.

The Ann Arbor Blues and
Jazz festival has been revived
this year and top talents will
be playing on the Otis Spann
Memorial Field on Sept. 8, 9.

and the All-Stars, Freddie
King, Luther Allison and many
others will be kicking off the
first weekend of the school
year with a five concert series.
Promoter Peter Andrews ex-
pects no problem in selling the
necessary 6,000 - 7,000 tickets
needed to break even, and ex-
pects that the concert series will
be sold out easily.
"We're gearing this concert
to the people of Ann Arbor, and
our major advertising effort is
in this aity," said Andrews.
"We're sending a mailing out for
25,000 student, telling them that
this is their opportunity to get

"The film will show if the

whether he is in fine shape.

they think it is a fine idea,"
Wilson added.
At present two other coun-
ties in the state - Lenawee
and Bay - have put such a
system into operation. Accord-
ing to Wilson both have re-
ported good results.
The statement, reported by'
the government news agency,
Tass, was the first time the
Russians have officially admit-
ted that Soviet armed forces
advisers were operating in
Egypt.
The statement by Tass car-
ries complete Kremlin sanction,
and ranks only below an of-
ficial Soviet government pro-
nouncement.
The agency omitted reference
to specific numbers of Russians
in Egypt or how long they had
been training the Egyptians.
The statement indicated that
Moscow had been aware of the
situation in advance of Sadat's
announcement.
Meanwhile, British authorities
reported yesterday that Egypt
has been checking prospects of
buying arms from Britain, pos-
siblyto counterSoviet cutoff of
modern offensive weapons.
The informal inquiries by
Egypt began some weeks ago,
sources said, when it became
clear the Soviet Union and the
United States were limiting
shipments of war goods to the
Arab countries and Israel.
British officials linked this
exercise of Soviet - American
restraint to President Nixon's
talks in Moscow last May.

Regents to consider pay
lists, Willow Run today
The Regents will tackle a
number of questions ranging
from disclosure of salaries to
the status of Willow Run Lab-
oratories in their monthly meet-
ings tomorrow and Friday.
President Fleming's office will
ask the Regents to discuss
whether the salaries of Univer-
sity personnel should be open
to the public:
The discussion comes in the
wake of a request by the Daily
for a salary disclosure. In a
suit brought by the Bay City
Times recently, Delta College
and Saginaw Valley College
were ordered to make salary
figures public. The case is cur-
rently under appeal.
The salary discussion is sched-
uled for 11 a.n. on Friday.
Also under discussion will be a
number of legal matters involved
with the University's plan to
divest itself of the controversial
Willow Run research facilities.
The Willow Run labs are 'the
site of 90 per cent of the Uni-
versity's classified and military
research.
A new structure for student
government fee assessments will
also be considered by the Re-
gents who meet in a conference
room on the first floor of the
Administration Bldg.
In a departure from the prac-
tice of recent months, there will
be no open meeting on Thurs-
day.
