John Jenrette (D-S.C.), convicted on an Abscam bribery charge, announced his immediate resignation from J e I Congress yesterday, thus preventing an expected House vote to expel him during the final days of his term. The third-term congressman announced his resignation at the end of 45 minutes of testimony in his own defense in the House ethics committee, which was trying to rush House ac- tion before Congress adjourns. "WITH THE DESIRE to spare this House.. . from further * * eembarrassment, I'm submitting to the speaker my resignation," Jenrette said, pausing as his voice choked. "I do this with pain that none of you can ever know." A prolonged ethics investigation, which had already resulted in a committee finding of guilt, will end today at a meeting called to decide what to report to the House. JENRE TTE SAID he is resigning to devote full time to preparation for a hearing next Wednesday before U.S. District Judge William B. Bryant on his motion to set aside a etion his conviction. Seated with elbows on the witness table, frequently ap- pearing to be close to tears, Jenrette predicted Bryant will set apide the verdict on grounds the prosecution violated his due process rights in staging the sting. But that will be too late to salvage his final days in Congress, as Jenrette pointed out. He was defeated for re- election, an event he blames on the Abscam conviction. JENRETTE AND John Stowe, a former South Carolina millionaire whom Jenrette described as now "not worth two nickels," were convicted in October of accepting a $25,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents in their Abscam sting. FBI videotapes taken in a Washington townhouse showed Jenrette and Stowe dealing with agents posing as represen- tatives of an Arab sheik willing to pay for special legislation to allow him to enter this country. "I made the mistake of going to that townhouse in the drunken condition I was in," Jenrette said. "I will have to live with that the rest of my life." AFTER THE HEARING, Jenrette told reporters he draf- ted his resignation statement 2 hours before he announced it to the committee, but held back so he could "see how things were going." "I could not hold up another two days," Jenrette said. "So I'd rather just go ahead and do it without putting the House into that further predicament." "I hope to come back some day," he said. {. .. .

BURNETT ALSO doubted the validity of some of the petitions, adding that some persons whose names ap- peared on petitions denied signing them. "I don't think there is that much support (for the committee)," Burnett said. Holiday Specil SOFT AND HARD CONTACT LENSES $178.50 Includes All Professional Fees DR. PAUL US IAN, Optometrist 545 Church Street 764-1222 Offer Expires December 23 If you have Used Books to Sell-Read This! ' '; ,t p .Y //j1 Y As the Semester end approaches - bring ing with it a period of heavy book selling by students- ULRICH'S would like to review with you their BUY-BACK POLICY. Used books fall into several categories, each of which - because of the law of supply and demand - has its own price tag. Let's explore these various categories for your guidance. CLASS 1. CLOTHBOUND A textbook of current copyright - used on our campus -and which the Teaching Department involved has approved for re-use in upcoming semesters- has the highest market value. If ULRICH'S needs copies of this book we will offer a minimum of 50% off the list price for copies in good physical condition. When we have sufficient stock of a title for thecoming semester, ULRICH'S will offer a"WHOLESALE PRICE" which will be explained later in this article. (THIS IS ONE REASON FOR SELLING ALL YOUR USED BOOKS AT ONCE!) CLASS 11. PAPERBOU N D Paperback are classified in two groups: A. Text Paperbacks; B. Trade Paperbacks A. Text Paperbacks will be purchased from you as Class I books above. B. Trade Paperbacks would draw an approximate offer of 25% of the list price when in excellent condition. CLASS I. Some-of the above Class I or Class I books will be offered which have torn bindings, loose pages, large amounts of highlighting and under- lining, or other physical defects. These will be priced down according to the estimated cost of repair or saleability. CLASS IV. An editorial denouncing Communist Workers' Party members' refusal to participate in the recent Greensboro, N.C. trial of six members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Par- ty spurred the coalition's formation, a spokesman said. "The formation of the committee was precipitated by the publication of an editorial in the South End .:. blaming leftists for racial violence," committee spokesman Carl Watson said, calling the editorial the "culmination of an editorial policy that has been pursued over the past few months, (making the newspaper's editorial page) inac- cessible to the student population." "SO, YOU have a paper that pursues a reactionary editorial policy and students have no access to it," Watson continued. "The point is that there is no way for a student on this campus to voice an opinion (in the newspaper)." Watson said the dismissal of the two editors, Burnett and Managing Editor Mike Nuttle, who wrote the Greensboro editorial, would probably make the newspaper's editorial page more responsive to student opinion. THE COMMITTEE also sought the endorsement of the Michigan Student Assembly during the University gover- nment's meeting Tuesday night. Although the Assembly wold not 'of- ficially endorse the committee, eight MSA members signed- petitions, in- cluding President Marc Breakstone. "I know that the editorial policy of the newspaper has been consistently reactionary," Breakstone said, adding that he supported the ouster of the students because of the editor's "policy of not allowing an open forum for the discussion of issues." Watson said a rally demanding the ouster of the editors was held yesterday on the WSU campus and said he expects the Board of Governors to comply with their requests. "The campaign (to dismiss the editors) has gone very well," Watson said. "And I certainly think that the pressure is building," Watson said. "I think the outlook is good." Although the WSU Board of Gover- nors and the WSU Student Newspaper Publications Board do not have any control over the editorial policies of the South End, the two administrative bodies do have the authority to remove South End staff members. "We perceive Burnett and Nuttle to be the obstacles to free speech on this campus," Lisa Terwilliger, another committee member, said. "One of the reasons the petitions have been so suc- cessful is that Wayne State is a predominantly labor and black univer- sity in a predominantly labor and black city." INSTANT CASH!

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Senate leaves busing question to new Congress WASHINGTON-A measure to prohibit the government from seeking court-ordered busing in school desegregation cases was rejected by the Senate yesterday with both supporters and opponents arguing that the issue should be decided by a new Congress and a new president. Acting by voice vote, the Senate stripped the anti-busing proposal from a stopgap spending measure to which it had been attached as an amendment. A similar amendment attached to a bill already passed by Congress is on President Carter's desk. He is expected to veto it. Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-Conn.) moved to strike the busing rider from the stopgap spending bill, saying, "Everybody knows we will have an oppor- tunity in the future to resolve this issue once and for all. We are in a standoff and the matter is best left that way for the time being." Sniper on bridge attacks commuters; no injuries reported NEW ORLEANS-A gunman with a high-powered rifle opened fire on rush-hour commuters yesterday, shutting down the major bridge connecting New Orleans with crowded suburbs across the Mississippi River, police said. No injuries were reported but many motorists were stranded as police shut off traffic to the Greater New Orleans Mississippi River Bridge. Authorities, who called in a SWAT team, said the shots apparently were coming from a nearby high-rise housing project. "We're drawing fire is how we know. They're shooting at anything that moves," said a 4th District police officer who would not identify himself. Ugandans hold elections KAMPALA, Uganda-Nearly 5 million Ugandans, eager for a new gover- nment after a decade of dictorship and turmoil, started voting yesterday in a chaotic climax to the first national elections in 18 years. Former President Milton Obote, ousted in 1971 by dictator Idi Amin, was attempting a political comeback. His Uganda People's Congress was favored over the Roman Catholic-based Democratic Party in an apparently close race. Voting was extended to a second day because of a heavy turnout and delays of many hours in equipping polling stations. Election officials an- nounced that polls would be open again today and vote counting was to start after polls closed today. Chinese official under fire PEKING-Chinese Communist Party chairman Hua Goufeng is likely to* be criticized by the full Central Committee before the end of the year as a prelude to his eventual resignation or demotion, diplomatic sources said yesterday. , The sources, who declined to be identified, said Hua is expected. to be castigated in an internal party document circulated at a meeting of the Cen' tral Committee, possibly as early as Dec. 25. The sources speculated that Hua would resign as chairman of the party and perhaps become a vice chairman at the next party congress, possibly in May or June. They said China might limit the current life-tenure of the party chairman and adopt a rotating system of chairmanship. Woman files suit against; tampon manufacturers GRAND RAPIDS-A woman filed Michigan's second toxic shock syn- drome suit yesterday, claiming negligence by the makers of Tampax and Rely tampons and a grocery store caused her to contract the sometimes fatal disease. Debbie Kaminski, 22, said she filed the suit in an attempt to collect damages to pay the medical bill incurred when she was hospitalized in inten- sive care for two weeks in late September. "We didn't have medical insurance when I became ill and we hope the company, at least, can pay the hospital bills," the Kent City woman said. She said her husband was laid off from his job at General Motors Corp. when she was stricken with toxic shock syndrome. Transition official suggests decentralization of VA LOS ANGELES-The massive Veterans Administration should be decen- tralized and about 7,000 beds should be added to its hospitals, the head of Ronald Reagan's transition team on veterans said yesterday. William Ayres, who served in Congress 20 years ad is chairman of Reagan's task force on veterans, said the team's official report will not be released until Dec. 22. During the campaign, Reagan proposed increasing VA educational benefits as an incentive for militarv enlistment. Avers said the transition team believes any increase should be placed in the annual budget of the Defense Department, not the VA, because the benefits would be a recruit- ment tool.

These decisions on change of textbooks are made in echelons of THINKING AND AUTHORITY far above the level of your local book retailers, AND ULRICH'S HAS NO PART IN THE DECISION. (Quite often we have MANY copies of the old title of which you have only ONE.) However, ULRICH'S does enter the picture by having connections with over 600 other bookstores throughout the country. We advertise these discontinued books and sell many of them at schools where they are still being used. ULRICH'S does this as a service to you and pays you the BEST POSSIBLE price wheryou sell them to us with your currently used books. CLASS V. Authors and publishers frequently bring out new editions. When we "get caught" with an old edition, let's accept the fact that it has no value on the wholesale market, and put it on the shelf as a reference book or sell it cheap for a bargain reference book. You will find that you come out best in the long run when you sell ALL your books to ULRICH'S. -/ I Editor-in-Chief...................MARK PARRENT Managing Editor.................MITCH CANTOR City Editor. .,............... ...PATRICIA HAGEN University Editors................TOMAS MIRGA BETH ROSENBERG Features Editor................ADRIENNE LYONS Opinion Page Editors.............JOSHUA PECK HOWARD WITT Arts Editors............... . ......
