THURSDAY, JULY 20 1972 News Phone: 764-0552 The '72 campaign: On with the circus! [T'S LOCAL election time again, and just as the cam- paign posters are beginning to clutter the campus, the kid gloves are coming off and the candidates are coming out swinging. During the next few weeks, candidates will accuse their opponents of adultery, thievery, vagrancy, apathy, complicity, complacency and conspiracy. In fact, there are already hints that more than a few libel and slander suits may be initiated in this coun- ty as a result of campaign talk for the August 8 primary. And more and more, as the candidates woo the new 18-21 year old voters, The Daily becomes an unwitting accomplice to the election madness. LAST SPRING, during the City Council elections, the full-page campaign ads exploited every rumor of the campaign, and left our editorial page looking colorless and non-commital by comparison. Meanwhile, it was spy-versus-spy in our offices, as Democratic and HRP publicists attempted to sneak an advance look at each others ads, in order to formulate instantly responding ads. While we are neither pacifists nor wide-eyed idealists, we wish all the accusations and mudslinging could be left at home during this election. We'd rather see can- didates debating salient issues, than spending all their time investigating their opponents through credit bu- reaus, police blotters and business records. But, in facing reality, we are bracing ourselves for the inevitable onslaught of accusations. And inevitable they are, for Americans have come to accept mudsling- ing as being synonymous with politics, and politicians, as we all know, must deliver what the people want if they are to be elected. ,O ON WITH the show! Shake hands, come out fight- ing, and let the best man or woman win. -ALAN LENHOFF Today's Staff--- News: Dan Biddle, Alan Lenhoff, Chris Parks Editorial Page: Carla Rapoport Photo Technician: Jim Wallace Summer Sta EDITORIAL STAFF Dan Biddle, Jan Benedetti, Meryl Gordon, Jim Kentch, Lorin Labardee, Alan Lenhoff (co-editor), Diane Levick, Maynard, Chris Parks, Carla Rapoport (co-editor) Marilyn Riley, Gloria Smith, Paul Travis, Ralph Vartabedian.

It's too damn hot ... How to beat the heat We are outraged. The bombing continues, the air gets no cleaner, and, godammit, it's hot. We don't like getting sweaty from walking across campus. We categorically oppose changing our sticky cloth- es twice a day. But unlike the bombing and the befouled air, we are convinced there are ways to beat the heat. President Richard Nixs -vas unavailable for comment yester- day on how to beat the heat but a quick poll of the secretaries in the White House Press section reveal- ed that they stay cool "by work- ing hard." A spokesperson for the group explained that they work in an air conditioned office. Mayor Bob Harris tells us that he's been staying cool by stretch- ing out in his air-conditioned bed- room with a can of beer ;n front of his television set. Jst inside the entrance of the National Bank and Trust Wsit.nd- ing on E. Liberty is a fantastic blower fan. Stop by and w a t c h people cash checks. Or better yet, go over to the Union and watch people bowl in the air-conditioned basement. While in the Union, stop by the 'U' Cellar. In the room behind their Xerox machines is a huge ice maker. Scoop out a cupful when nobody teems likely to hasole you. If you're going to need a lot of ice, the Beer Vault on 303 N. 5th has a 24-hour ice vending machine. A bag of cubes costs 75 cents, a large block is $1. While temperatures here range around 80 and 90, it might be com- forting to think of those people in Phoenix, Arizona who labored un- night, but your best bet is around the Diag, South U., and President Fleming's house. Fleming did not return T h e Daily's call yesterday concerning how to stay cool. However, no one at The Daily has ever seen Flem- ing sweat.) Try jumping in a fountain. There's one near the Union, one by the Campus Inn, and a huge one next to Hill Auditorium. Watch out, though, fountain-jump- ing is not quite legal. In Detroit, the fire department turns on neighborhood fire h y - drants to keep the kids quiet. The Ann Arbor Fire Department is not so nice. Call them up and a s k why the city doesn't provide this simple service. Threaten aneigh- bothood riot if they say no. When everything seems to be sticking to you, remember you really don't really needdall t h a hair. Liberate your head and get yourself a haircut at your near- est barber. There's nothing quite like swim- ming to aool you off. The Fuller Road Pool (near North Campus), the Margaret Bell Pool (on For- est Ave.) and the Intramural pool (on Hoover) can give you that tingly chlorine-filled feeling. Call for swim schedules. Just remem- ber, Fuller Road Pool is outdoor, THESE SUMMER BLUES . .. In an effort to reinforce t h is basic belief, we've done some re- search and have complied the fol- lowing list. As it seems that sum- mer will be with us for at least eight more weeks, hopefully these hints can help keep you cool. If not, try folding this page in half, filling it with ice cubes and plac- ing it on your head. Our number one choice for beat- ing the heat is simple. Leave. Ac- cording to a local travel agent, a round trip to Iceland is only $336 from New York's Kdnnedy Air- port and flights leave every night at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Go tonight and you'll arrive in time for the sixth battle between Spass- ky and Fischer. By the way, the temperature in Reykjavik today was 42 degrees. A little closer to home but pro- bably just as refreshing is Mrs. Bank's personal tour of the Bank on Ice factory at 1015 Broadway. Mrs. Bank says that one need only call for an appointment to see the factory's 17 ice-makers and roam around the huge freezer. The highest temeprature since 1872 in thiscarea wasw100in 1946 things coutld be worse. For a cool spot to take a friend, drive out to .Bolgos Dairy Farm, 3601 Plymouth Rd. If you arrive before noon on Monday, Tues- day, Thursday, or Friday, you can watch the ice-cold milk being bot- tled. If you arrive around 10 a.m. you can watch the hired hand make ice cream and maybe learn some of the secrets of the trade. His ice cream is sure to oe the freshest you've tasted in a long time. Now's the time to speak your mind to the University or c it y official you've been meaning to see for the past few months. Offic- ials, without exception, work in air-conditioned offices and h a v e nice, plush, air conditioned wait- ing rooms. (They'd all suffocate to death in the Administration Building if it wasn't air-condi- tioned.) Or if you really don't want to talk to any official, take the smooth, silent elevator in the Ad. Bldg. to the second floor and stage a one-person sit-in in Flem- ing's air-cooled waiting room. Sonny Eliot, weatherman at WWJ T.V., hesi- tates not a second with his solution : Change your clothes often ... with the person next to you. der 104 degrees yesterday. Yet Seattle had a low of 48. Sigh. Daily Business Manager A n d y Golding strips down to his shorts and swathes his head swami-style with a Michigan T-Shirt to keep cool. Our favorite delivery boy/ janitor advises taking a shower and standing dripping wet in front of an air conditioner to dry off. Sonny Eliot, weatherman at WWJ- TV, hesitated not a second with his solution: Change your clothes often . . . with the person next to you. If air conditioning is beyond your means, K-Mart on Washte- nas sells a fine variety of cheap, but effective fans. "I'd sooner sell my soul than part with my genuine K-Mart brand fan," says our intrepid edi- tor. For a cool couple of hours for a couple of bucks, you might t r y some of Ann Arbor's commercial movie theaters. Unfortunately, there's not a double feature in town, so the amount of air con- ditioning per dollar isn't too great. One Daily reporter notes t h a t the State Theater is famous f o leaving its front door slightly ajar -just enough to send an entic- ing blast of frigid air into passers- by. One of the better known ways to keep cool is jumping through the sprinkler system on y o u r block. If your block doesn't have a sprinkler system, you c o u I d try jumping through the Univer- sity's sprinkler system. There's sure to be one on somewhere at Bell and IM indoors. Ann Arbor's libraries are a i r conditioned and open 'all day. The city's Police Department is air- cooled and you can sit for hours .. CAN REALLY GET YOU DOWN and read the brochures on drugs, dope and sex. It's a gas. For an extremely refreshing drink to cool you off, throw into your blender the following ingred- ients: pineapple chunks, t h r e e ice cubes, a dash of vanilla, a cup of milk and then turn the ma- chine on for a few seconds. The result is an ice-cold organic milk- shake. For variations, try fresh strawberries or any fresh f r u i t mixtures. And if it's so hot that you really think you're melting, just heave a rock through the nearest window. Then sit down and wait for the police to throw you in the cooler.
