A new laundry detergent? A social disease? Mouthwash? What is this bullshit? At nearly every corner in Ann Arbor the word Bul- lard appears on a isticker. Apparently they are advertise- ments for Perry Bullard, a local politician, who won the Democratic nomination for state representative in Tues- day's primary. However, the stickers are illegal and will cost the city a good deal of money to remove. Robert Hartwell, Asst. Director of Traffic Engineer- ing says that it will take a minimum of two days for a two-man crew to remove the political advertisements. At $20 per hour this represents a minimum cost of $160.00 to the city. Additionally, some of the street signs are permanently damaged and will require replacement at a cost of $25 each. Bullard said yesterday that the stickers will be re- moved by his own staff "sometime after the Nov. elec- tion when we get around to it." This is grossly unsatis- factory. A S THE CANDIDATE with the greatest number of dam- aging stickers, Bullard should display the integrity of having his own signs removed immediately. They do little to enhance aesthetic quality of the city and to many residents, their continued presence is creating an eyesore. Bullard promised during his campaign that he would be responsive to the needs of the people. We can't think of any action more responsible than saving the taxpayers a few bucks. -RALPH VARTABEDIAN Need some help fast? Just pick up the telephone!

On the contrary, the Shapiro campaign was the best- staffed of all six contenders in that race. In the face of enormous expenditures by other candidates for newspaper and radio a d s, Shapiro came close to carrying the whole thing off. And the one factor which more than any other helped to compensate for the lack of funds was the large and intensely dedi- cated group of volunteers who lit- erally "worked day and night" (as WAAM put it) to try and prove that slick imagemaking and high- ly-paid workers do not necessarily guarantee victory. And we almost did it. On elec- tion day, our best guess is that over 150 people of all ages and var- ious political leanings took part in working the polls, pounding on doors and seeing to the myriad The Daily other details of an efficient elec- tion day operation. Aside from tok- en payments to our campaign man- ager and office manager, not one person working for Shapiro re- ceived any money for their consid- erable time and effort. In spite of that, or because of it, perhaps, we managed to cover every polling place in the district where we felt such coverage would be valuable. And that says nothing of the days and weeks of preparation which led up to Tuesday's primary. That we lost is, I think, more a testament to our political imma- turity than a victory for the old politics of accommodation and compromise. While a number of political veterans were most help- ful in giving us advice, none of the people involved in the day-to-day drudgery brought any campaign experience with them to the or- ganization. We were novices when we started, but we have learned a great deal. And those lessons will not be forgotten. -Rob Bier Press Secretary Aug. 9 here soon I'm going to jump off the-" "For that you should speak to Dr. Moelarrycurly. I will connect you." "Thank you."
