With the usual last-minute run on the
clerk's office, hopeful candidates filed
petitions yesterday for the Democratic
and Republican primaries.
Five Democrats and the incumbent
- William Milliken - are registered
for the governor's race. Two
Republicans and eight Democratic
hopefuls will contend for their party's
nomination while Ann Arbor City Coun-
cilman Earl Greene (D-Second Ward)
entered his name in nomination for
Michigan's Second District
congressional seat.
GREENE, who faces no Democratic
challengers for the nomination will op-
pose incumbent Republican Carl'Pursel
in the November 7 general election.

They rest on large stands in a
crowded workshop on North Campus
right now: a big aluminum tube and a
smaller birch-plywood and spruce box.
But within ayear or so, the tube, then
the box, will both become "birds" - as
their creators like to call them - and
rush through space at about 160 miles
an hour carrying Tom Kerns and Bar-
naby Wainfan, the two engineers who
are working to put their birds in the air.
KERNS' all-aluminum Thorp T-18
and Wainfan's wooden Rand KR-2 are
taking shape in space donated
temporarily to the two Aerospace
master's candidates in exchange for
the prestige such ambitious projects
lend to the department. But they are
putting together their experimental..
airplanes independently of the depar-
tment, and of each other.
Both of the planes began at home as
father-son projects and were then
brought to Ann Arbor for completion.

Greene, an Ann Arbor teacher, said
he feels qualified for the office because,
"I'm bright and I have a grasp on
issues that effect people."
"I'm unimpressed with Pursell's
record," he said, adding that Pursell
had missed many roll call votes.
Greene claimed he would represent his
constituency by voting on all the issues.
GREENE added he will try to in-
crease federal spending in the Ann Ar-
bor area. He says Michigan receives
less federal money than every other
state excent one. even though Michigan
taxpayers face the eighth highest tax
rates in the country.
Greene said he intends to focus his
campaign on education, defense,
energy, taxes, inflation, and senior
citizen issues.
Carl Pursell has represented the Ann
Arbor-based district for the last two
years, focusing his legislative energies
on the Committees on Education and
Science and Technology, Pursell has
been a strong supporter of tuition tax
credits and nuclear fusion research.

and Anthony Derezinski, former Grand

Payne III, and Warren Bracy.
Griffin, the senior senator from
Michigan, eliminated most of the
Republican contenders for his seat
when he decided not to retire, as plan-
ned, but rather run for re-election.

fin will face will come from Paterson,

Now that's funny
Apparently our neighbors down the road in
Ypsilanti .are finally acknowledging that their
beloved Eastern Michigan University doesn't quite
meet the high standards of our own fine institution.
They sent a catalog of their undergraduate course
listings to our offices yesterday addressed, ap-
propriately enough, to our "Amusements Editor."
We were, indeed, amused.
Big bust
A number of drivers found out yesterday that just
because it's summer you can't park by any shady
curb you happen to find. At about 11 yesterday mor-
ning the city's traffic department came upon a
string of cars neatly parked on the right side of E.
Ann just before Glen. After some quick work with a
tow truck the street was even neater. The traffic
department reports that Tuesday and Thursday,
parking is forbidden in that section because of trash'
pick-up. Take a bike, it's more fun.
Charge it
Thanks to Ann Arbor's City Council, you can
chalk up one more use for the ubiquitous credit
card. It seems those wonderful folks who earlier
voted to raise parking fines will now allow us to pay
for them with a flash of some plastic. The idea
behind this financing scheme is to allow persons
short of cash to get out of hock now and pay cash
later, and to spread the string of painfully large
bills over several months. Impounded cars can also
be claimed on credit. But before you race out to try
that Diner's Club billet on Ann Arbor's finest, be
forwarned: only Master Charge will free your car.
As of yet, the city is adamant that no taxes or utility
bills can be paid on credit. But perhaps it's not too
far from the time when we'll hear Police Chief
Krasny say "Credit: Don't get caught without it."
Or something like that.
