Wilson and Elaine Rideout *Student turnout ig ht in 1st, 2r council majority Incumbents take 4 wards; student candidates defeated well and I guess they just didn't care." Both student candidates blamed their defeats on the low student turnout. Democratic incumbents soundly defeated student challengers in the heavily-student populated First and Second Wards. Earl Greene earned his third term defeating University junior Toni Burton 494 to 306. DON HUBBARD, an LSA junior, was overwhelmed two to one by incumbent Susan Greenberg in the Second Ward. The ward, which includes the hill dorms and central campus, has not had a Republican representative on council since ward lines were redrawn in 1973. Greene said the closeness of the Second Ward race did not surprise him although he had said during the cam- paign that he did not take the Burton challenge seriously. He praised the defeated Republican, saying, "She's a nice person and it was a good experien- ce for her to run." "I think that it was good for Earl (Greene) to have an opponent," Burton said last night. "I think it made him aware of some of the concerns of the students. I think we did- some good there, even though we didn't win." Hubbard, 20, was dismayed by the low turnout after his first political campaign, but said he was determined to continue his political career despite the loss. "I'm not discouraged. I think. my workers are more discouraged than I am. This is not my last foray in politics," Hubbard said at the Sigma Chi fraternity house last night. His opponent Greenberg, was relieved after winning her second term, after a campaign filled with mudslinging and dominated by conflict of personalities rather than of issues. "We won because we got the votes See REPUBLICANS, Page 10 U.S. cuts diplomatic relations with Iran and 4th ward council Voters turned out in unusually small numbers yesterday in balloting that capped an election nearly void of con- troversy. Students stayed home as two Republican student candidates went Mown to defeat in the heavily, emocratic First and Second Wards. Turnout citywide was extremely low - with about 9,300 votes cast as com- pared with more than 20,000 in last year's race, which included a mayoral contest. APPARENTLY THERE was not much on yesterday's ballot that in- terested students or other citizens, as voters chose five of ten city coun- cilmembers and voiced their disap- Sproal of two bonding proposals.k "It's poor," said City Clerk 'Al Vollbrect, commenting on the turnout yesterday. "I guess they just weren't interested enough to vote." "Students will only vote if it's about the draft, drugs, alcohol, or sex," com- plained one precinct worker in the First Ward. At the Democratic celebration party at Dominick's, candidates and party workers appeared shaken at the miniscule turnout. "The fact that we had a turnout as disastrous as it was, is sad for the community," said city Democratic chairman Bob Faber. OTHER ELECTION workers ex- pressed. disgust at the predominant' apathy of students. "Students have op- ted out of the system," said First Ward Chairman Dave Cahill. "Unless there is a major student issue on the ballot, Students have decided not to vote." Earl Greene (D-Second Ward), who named "getting people to vote more" as one of the major priorities for his third Council term, said his campaign was also hindered by widespread apathy. "It's disheartening to spend thousands of dollars and confront the issues." when the voting turnout is low. In the student-dominated Second Ward, where Greene fended off a challenge from Republican student Toni Burton, turnout in most precincts was the same or slightly lower than in the February Democratic primary. In that race, Greene defeated student Stacy Stephanopoulos for the Demo- cratic Party's nomination by a mere 29 votes. Final, results from all twelve pte- cincts - though without absentee ballots counted - showed a lower tur- nout than in the primary in February. Some 732 votes were recorded yester- day, while more than 800 persons voted in February. precinct. tallies in the ward showed a light but steady turnout of townspeople but only a trickle of elections students voting. Republican candidate and student Donald Hubbard, who lost yesterday in the First Ward to incumbent Democrat Susan Greenberg two to one, said he was "very disappointed" in the student turnout. Hubbard won only two precincts in the ward, two and four, with polling places in South Quad and the Union. ONLY 133 of almost 4,500 registered voters cast ballots in the four student precincts in the First Ward. Those precincts include South and West Quads where about 60 students voted.

From AP and UPI WASHINGTON-President Carter broke diplomatic relations with Iran yesterday, gave Iranian diplomats 24 hours to leave the United States and cut off virtually all remaining trade between the two.nations. In a move designed to spur the release of 50 Americans who have been held hostage in Tehran since last Nov. 4, Carter also warned that "other actions may be necessary." ABANDONING HOPE that a conciliatory approach could defuse the 156-day-old crisis, Carter, in an announcement broadcast live. from the White House, said the U.S. has acted with "exceptional patience and restraint" in the crisis, and added that further steps against the Iranian Iraqi forces attack Iranian border post, See story Page 2. government would be taken as necessary if the "illegal and outrageous" holding of the hostages is not resolved. But he said the refusal of the Iranian government to assume control of the hostages from the militants who have held them for more than five months "lays full responsibility" for the crisis on Iran's revolutionary- leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Iran's governing Revolutionary Council. "The militants controlling the embassy have stated they are willing to turn the hostages over to the government of Iran. , But the government refused to take custody of the American hostages," Carter said. "The Iranian government can no longer escape full responsibility by hiding behind the militants at the embassy." EARLIER IN the day, Khomeini personally blocked the Iranian government from taking control of the hostages. Looking grim, Carter'listed four actions he is taking against Iran: " "The United States is breaking diplomatic relations with Iran," said Carter. "Iranian diplomatic and consular personnel have been declared persona non grata and must leaye the country by midnight tomorrow," he said. " Treasury Secretary G. William Miller will prohibit virtually all exports from the United States to Iran, excluding traffic in food and medicine, which were exempt from earlier sanctions Carter imposed. But Carter said any remaining exports of food and medicine to Iran will be "minimal or nonexistent." * Miller will make an inventory of outstanding claims of American citizens and corportions against the government of Iran with the aim of seizing assets of the Iranian government in the United States to finance settlement of claims by hostages and their families. Carter said his administration is preparing special legislation to speed the payment of claims. * All visas issued to Iranians for entry into the United States have been declared invalid, effective immediately, and no visas will be issued or renewed "except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest requires." "THE HOSTAGES and their families-indbed, all of us in America-have lived with the reality and the anguish of their captivity for five months," Carter said. "The steps I have ordered today are those that are necessary now," he said. "Other actions may become necessary if these steps do not produce the prompt release of the hostages." As Carter left the room, a reporter asked him for his definition of "prompt." The president ignored the question. THERE WAS NO indication of what "other actions" Carter was referring See U.S., Page 2 .. .. ... .. . ... .. _:.. .... . .,x . .:. w . ... .. . ..

Edward Abbott, 22, from Ypsilanti, and Greg Dalder, 19, a University student living at Couzens Hall, stood mute before 15th District Court Judge S. J. Elden. A pre-trial conference was set for April 30. SECOND CHANCE Manager Kelly Connors said last night "I really don't know anything about it." Co-owner John Carver refused to comment. The arraignments seemed to be one small part of what appears to be a larger picture of unnecessary force and provocation by some of the Second Chance bouncers. According to Ann Arbor police, victims, and witnesses, physical abuse has been inflicted on patrons of the bar for about a year, ; resulting in injuries and criminal ac- tion. The police are reluctant to discuss the occurrences of violence at Second Chance because there is legal action pending on many of the incidents. Sgt. William Canada said there have been ,"numerous" incidents involving boun- cers, and Lt. Dale Heath estimates there have been between six and eight assault and battery complaints brought against Second Chance bouncers in the past year. THE MOST recent incident reported to police - not involving Abbott and Dalder - occurred the evening of Saturday, March 29. Tom DeJonge, a resident of Baits Housing, said he was sitting at the railing at the bar when See BOUNCERS, Page 7 Daily Photo GREG DALDER (left) and Edward Abbott, who are employed as bouncers at the Second Chance nightclub, leave 15th District Court chambers yesterday after being arraigned on charges of aggravated assault; and assault and battery, respectively. . xxx ':o <.. .. .. :'3.:x.23'. ... ..., .:.... _... c -ns "a. ,x,9,.,s:.:.... .:«. .. . ,.:.....:£-'a: s-- ro . .. .- Yca.£ 3 'x o>zx. x,.:>"E? c'3s«a :..,ra x,,. ..,.a sa. .

A faculty committee chose the winners on the basis of creativity as a teacher, interaction with students, and promise of professional growth as a teacher and scholar. The TAs won a $504 stipend for their efforts. Q , } l , the past week, and half of those were sold last weekend alone. Frisbee sales, . he reported, "went crazy" also, starting with the Hash Bash April 1. "We're pretty much wiped out (of kites)," reported Tom Dobberstein, manager of Logo's Bookstore on South University Avenue. Logo's colorful Chinese kites-priced between $4 and $30-are the most popular, Dobberstein said, and sales are 54 per cent higher than last year. At Village Corners, manager Jack Weirmann said 80 per cent of the flying objects are being purchased by University students. Simple paper kites at the store are prices as low as 30 cents. "There's always a big r n nn them whAn the wt-athpr LPtS un between 50° and 60° T particularly want it. It's confining, you know. You can't do what you want to do. If you want to go somewhere there's always a meeting or something you have to go to," he added. The reluctant mayor tried to retire from his unsolicited post in 1978 but a write=in campaign kept him in office. Hayden's efforts are apparently appreciated by the town's 672 residents. "Everybody likes him real well," said Election Judge H.L. Parsons. "Everybody wanted him. He didn't want the office at all, but nobody else wanted it either." 0 On the inside I I
