The Michigan Daily .... Vol. LXXXVI, No. 20-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Wednesday, June 2, 1976 Ten Cents Twelve Pages *urn itt d~ CarterinS.D.; Reagan akes2 By The Associated Press California Gov. Edmund Brown gained startling, proxy support in Rhode Island's presidential primary election last night as. the uncommitted line on the ballot drew more votes than any Democratic candidate. It was another setback for Jimmy Carter, who won the Democratic primary in South Dakota and added votes to his runaway lead in total delegate strength. SEN. FRANK Church of Idaho swept past Car- ter to victory in the Montana primary. In Republican competition, President Ford won Rhode Island, while challenger Ronald Reagan beat him in South Dakota and Montana. But rainy Rhode Island, where only about 14 per cent of the voters cast ballots, held the day's surprise. Brown had campaigned for the uncom- mitted line because his name was not entered Daily Photo by STEVE KAGAN DR. DIAG,' IN ONE of his more expansive moods, clarifies one of his customarily dubious points. Doctor Diag's do- it yourself dialogue By JENNIFER MILLER' He has been circling around in front of the Graduate I library longer than most students can remember, shouting his orations to anyone who will listen. Alarming some, amus- ing others, and addressing no one and everyone, he expounds. Sfor hours on matters ranging from Hitler to dope smoking. r Dressed in the familiar maroon pants, red shirt, and toe- less shoes, Richard Robinson, sometimes known as 'Dr. tDiag' claims to have been born in Ann Arbor in 1941. He also says he's been giving his Diag discourses for 35 years, which would make him zero years old when he made his debut. "ANN ARBOR is a zoo, a carnival, a road side freak show," Dr. Diag shouts to his startled onlookers as he pauses occasionally to run a comb through his hair. My mother's a DAR (Daughter of the American Revo- lution)," he goes on to no one in particular, "my brother isF a pig, the biggest pig I've ever seen, and my ex-wife is a nut. She's a Republican." This talk is indicative of Dr. Diag's interest in politics and Ann Arbor. In fact, he has been 'running for town council' for ' several years. "FOR THE LAST eleven years I've been running around picking up pieces of paper and picking tape off lampposts," says Robinson, long a critic of litter in Ann Arbor, 'that's why I'm running for town council." See DOCTOR, Page 10 ~i55sws ly:.- -z on the presidential preference ballot. campaign'76 AND THAT line won, with 31 per cent of the vote. Carter got 30 per cent, Church 28 per cent. "To me, it's extraordinary to be able to win an uncommitted slate after a three-day campaign in Rhode Island," Brown said, in New York. "I think the people of Rhode Island are ready for a new generation of leadership and they have responded." Church claimed his was "a good, strong show- ins-"J UNDER RHODE Island's rules, the delegates to the Democratic National Convention were elected separately, but will be bound to cast their nominating votes in accordance with the out- come of the preferential primary. But uncommitted delegates can vote as they choose, and that will not necessarily be for Brown. His immediate gain was psychological, since it appeared the winning share of the voters had heeded his campaign wishes and spurned all the candidates on the ballot. Carter won with 41 per cent of the Democratic vote in South Dakota, with Rep. Morris Udall of Arizona running second. That is becoming a habit-Udall has been there in eight primaries. CHURCH suggested that Udall consider quit- ting the race. "He had ample opportunity to win," Church said. Udall pronounced himself "a little disappoint- ed," but said he would keep trying, concentrat- ing on the Ohio primary next Tuesday. Udall said Ohio will be crucial. He said a solid Carter victory there "will make it extremely difficult to stop him. It may well be all over." OHIO, CALIFORNIA and New Jersey all vote next week in the finale of the primary season. Their delegations dwarf those apportioned in the states that voted yesterday. But Rhode Island in particular could send signals that will have an effect on the final primaries. Brown said it would, calling the uncommitted victory "a significant change in the chemistry of the campaign." In Republican delegate competition, Ford added to his lead over Reagan. He swept the 19 Rhode Island delegates, and split the South Dakota delegation. FORD WON in Rhode Island with 66 per cent of the Republican vote, Reagan in South Dakota with 50 per cent. Reagan won with 57 per cent of the Montana ballots in a Republican primary that was purely advisory and binds no delegates. Rhode Island and South Dakota put the Presi- dent's count at 806 of the 1,130 delegate votes needed for nomination. Reagan has 653. THE PRIMARIES next week will select 331 Republican delegates. Carter was picking up 20 delegates, pushing his total ti 903. It will take 1,505 votes to choose a D~emocratic nominee. Udall is second in nation- wide delegate strength, but he has only 308.5. However, first-ballot delegates are not the key to the stop-Carter strategy of Brown, Church, Udall and their allies. They know Carter will go to the convention with a hefty lead. Their aim is to stop him short of nominating strength so that they can pry loose delegates on later ballots. Brown said the Rhode Island outcome "makes me the main contender next to Mr. Carter." He has an obvious advantage in his home-state California primary, which will apportion the biggest of all Democratic delegations. And he said he hopes the uncommitted column will make a big showing in New Jersey, too, although that also is a reservoir of support for Sen. Hubert Humphrey. ' "THE OUTCOME in Rhode Island was crystal clear," Brown said in an interview. "I was the only one urging voters to pull the uncommitted lever."

The decision by the system's governing board cleared the way for the state legislature to ap- prove a $24-million university aid package that would permit reopening of CUNY's 21 colleges - and institutes scattered through New York City's five boroughs. The college system has been closed since Friday, leaving 270,000 students up in the air just before final examinations, The decision to charge undergraduates tui- tion was made by the Board of Higher Educa- tion in a 7-1 vote. The tuition will be the same as that charged by the state university system: $750 for freshmen and sophomores and $900 for juniors and seniors.
