LANSING (UPI) - Ann Arbor law
professor Warren Bracy is back in
court for the third time in his bid to
secure a spot in the Democratic U.S.
Senate primary.
Bracy asked the Michigan Supreme
Court yesterday to rehear a challenge
he brought against the Board of State
Canvassers for failing to certify his
candidacy.
THE CANVASSERS said Bracy did
Federalfunds
for state grants
From Staff and Wire Reports
A $2.7 million federal grant for state
scholarships will make it possible for
Michigan to provide about 3,200 ad-
ditional assistance awards, the State
Board of Education announced Thur-
sday.
The federal funds are part of a $64
million national total under the State-
Student Incentive Grant Program:
RON JURSA, director ofstudent
financial assistance, said that the
federal money was simply added to the
$12.3 million in state resources for the

not file enough nominating signatures,
but he argued that a strict inter-
pretation of Michigan election law
shows he did qualify.
Bracy, a newcomer to elective
politics, already has been foiled twice
by the courts in his effort to get on the
primary ballot.
The Michigan Supreme Court last
week refused to order his name on the
ballot and U.S. District Court Judge
Wendell Miles Thursday decided not to
disturb that ruling because he lacked
jurisdiction in the case.
In the motion for rehearing by the
state Supreme Court, Bracy said "a
grave emergency exists" and he would
be irreparably harmed if the court does
not act quickly and allow him on the
ballot.
STATE ELECTION law requires U.S.
Senate candidates to file nominating
signatures equal to at least one per cent
of the votes received by their party's
candidate for secretary of state in the
last November election. In addition, at
least 100 signatures must be gathered
from each of 20 counties.
The canvassers and attorney general
maintained thattDemocratic can-
didates for Senate must have filed
17.764 valid signatures - one per cent

speaking at the time, at first tried to ignore the
disturbance. But finally another member rose to
make a point of order-which under parliamentary
ruling means Dalyell was forced to yield to him and
sft down. Dalyell complained to Speaker George
Thomas, "If I sit down, I'll have to sit in all this
mess." Like Howard Cosell says, they can dish it
out but they can't take it.
Inns and outs
How does the founder of Holiday Inn of America
explain spending the night in a rival TraveLodge?
With reservations, of course. Kemmons Wilson,
head innkeeper for the "Nation's Innkeeper"
checked in at the competing motel in Kansas City
last week-right across the street from one of his
own Holiday Inns. "The Holiday Inn was full," the
Memphis motel magnate offered lamely. "We had
to go across the street." Full? In Kansas City,
Kan.? Are you kidding? "Well, I don't stay at
Holiday Inns all the time," he admitted. "A lot of
places I go don't have Holiday Inns; I'm always
looking for new loctions. But I guess that excuse
doesn't work this time." The TraveLodge took ad-
vantage of the embarassing situation and displayed
a greeting on its outside billboard reading,
"Welcome Kemmons Wilson, Chairman of Board,
Holiday Inns Inc."

Dog-gone
Whoever said colleges.today are going to the dogs
was right-almost. Leo D. Canine, a 12-year-old
bassett hound, just missed becoming a member of
the University of Hartford's Class of 1982. The pooch
was enrolled by a group of students at the Connec-
ticut college as a prank. His registration-as Leo D.
Canine, 18, of 42 Puggy Lane, Canine Corner,
Mass.-went through the registrar's office without
a hitch, where he was signed up for five courses in
the College of Engineering (no comment here), and
went to the bureau's office for tuition billing. There,
an alert clerk looked up the missing zip code for
Leo's hometown and discovered the applicant was a
phony. Leo is owned by Peter Dunbar, son of a
couple who live near the campus. The dog spends
much of his time near the dorm dining hall (bad
move) and the campus swimming pool and was
adopted by the Class of 1977 as its mascot. Don't
despair, Leo-there are always community
colleges.
On the outside.-
It will be mostly cloudy and somewhat cooler
today with a chance of heavy afternoon showers.
The high should be in the low 80s. Sunday, the clouds
persist and the temperature continues to dip-all
the way down to 77°. Monday, who knows?

Dropping in unexpectedly
Citizens often complain that their legislators are
full of manure, but Thursday the dung was literally
flying in Britain's House of Commons. Two
protesters heavedbags of horse excrement from the
visitors' galleries on unsuspecting lawmakers and
screamed demands for the withdrawal of British
troops from Northern Ireland. The first parcel hit
Labor Party member Denis Skinner on the head and
other dung bombs broke open as they hit the floor of
the chamber. Laborite Tam Dalyell, who was
