More than 600 should be in line by the time the tickets go on sale this morning, Major Events Office officials predicted. The first people in line, sophomore Mark Kenen and junior Tom Goldf ogle, took charge of line order and policy last *'uesday afternoon. Relieved of their duties yesterday evening by Major Events workers, the two listed all the line members in order, and, assisted by friends, called roll at unannounced in- tervals to make sure no one left for' more comfortable quarters. "WE'RE JUST TRYING to keep it semi-orderly," said John Bienieck, one of the roll-takers. "MEO is going to handle it from now on." Another line member, junior Mike Krell, said, "The ine at these concerts starts, and MEO hows up three days later." Karen Young, the Office of Student Services associate in charge of Major Events ticket distribution, said long See STUDENTS, Page 7 Local 'sting' project nets $67,300 in goods, 13 suspects By MAUREEN FLEMING A year-long Washtenaw County "sting" operation, controlled by six government agencies, resulted in 13 arrests and the recovery of about $67,300 worth of stolen goods, county prosecutor William Delhey announced yesterday. The plan, called Project 911, resulted in the confiscation of about two dozen items, including several automobiles, bicycles, and televisions. SPEAKING AT A press conference at the County Building, Delhey said the operation began last September when the six groups began coordinating their efforts. Each group donated $2,500 and one person toward the effort, he said. While Delhey would not divulge the complete story behind the sting, he did say the project coordinators set up a shop called Merchandise Unlimited in April. He also said the location of the store was secret but was "somewhere in the eastern part of the county." The store has a listed, Ypsilanti-area number. The phone is answered by a tape recording: "Hi, this is C.W. and Jim. We can't get to' the phone right now, so if you don't mind, leave your name with the answering service. If we have your number, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. If we don't have your number, leave it. Here comes the beep ..., MORE THAN $4,000 of the sting money was used to purchase the stolen goods, which would supposedly be sold through the store later, said Ann Arbor Police Chief William Corbett, who worked on the project. Corbett explained that all the agen- cies had to do to open up the store was spread the word in the criminal com- munity. "We don't want to get into the details of how we spread the word. We have our methods," he added. He said members of the operation tried to attract their marks with offers such as: "Say, there's a fencing operation. Let's all make a buck. "WE DON'T WORRY abut entrap- ment because entrapment is supposed to occur in the minds of the officer. In this case, the other person stole the goods-he's already looking for a place to fence them." Delhey said "sight-sales" (store sales) were videotaped, but the majority, of transactions were untaped. Delhey said the investigators received tips from several residents who live near the store, claiming they saw "suspicious looking characters" around the store. The suspicious looking characters, however, were the police involved in the investigation. CORBETT EXPLAINED that when a legitimate business, such as a tax agency, made an inquiry at the store, the police identified themselves and asked them "to get out of our hair." The original persons involved with the project were Delhey, Corbett, Yp- silanti Police Chief Jimmy Moore, Washtenaw County Sheriff Tom Minik, and Michigan State Police Lieutenant Don Flood. Delhey said he was pleased with the operation because it showed "we can have close cooperation and we do have it ... Jealousies don't happen here (in Washtenaw County)." CORBETT AGREED, saying, "The cooperation in this effort was just phenomenal. We know, assist; and work with all the organizations quite well." Recovered items in the arrest were eight 10-speed bicycles, , three televisions, two motorbikes, six motor vehicles, two portable power generators, a drill press, and one automatic typewriter. The 13 suspects were arraigned See STING, Page 7 Daily Photo by USA KLAUSNER HUNDREDS OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN fans camp outside Crisler Arena yesterday to ensure they get tickets for his Oct. 3 concert here.

Shah's book hints that U.S. aided Khomeini ......... ................ .. . ..:..... .... V. : By The Associated Press In the posthumously published American edition of his memoirs, the deposed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi suggests that a U.S. Air Force general dispatched to Tehran in the dying days of his regime worked with a "traitor" Iranian officer to pave the way for Ayatollah Ruhollah *0Khomeini's takeover of Iran. The revised edition of Pahlavi's "Answer to History," fir- st published in French last year, is described as the "definitive text." It is bitter in its assessment of the Carter administration's actions as Khomeini's revolution neared victory. Its U.S. publication by Stein and Day comes just as William Sullivan, the former U.S. ambassador to Iran, has stirred another dispute over what happened in those final days of the Iranian monarchy. IN A RECENT MAGAZINE article, Sullivan says presidential security adviser Zbigniew Brezezinski asked him late in the crisis whether he could arrange a militage coup to stop the revolution. Sullivan says he made an "un- printable" reply to that suggestion. A Brzezinski spokesman called the Sullivan article "fac- tually inaccurate," but Brzezinski has not made a point-by- point rebuttal. In his book, the ex-shah mentioned no Brzezinski "coup" suggestion, but he did write that Brzezinski telephone him in early November 1978 and advised that he take a hard line against his opponents, who were staging a series of mass protests and strikes. BRZEZINSKI "CALLED ME. . to urge that I establsh law and order first, and only then continue our democratization program," Pahlavi wrote. The American officer who was sent on the secretive mission to Tehran in January-February 1975 was Gen. Robert Huyser, deputy commander of U.S. forces in Europe. U.S. officials and Iranian revolutionaries have already given conflicting accounts of the purpose of his assignment, and the ex-shah's book offers yet another version of events. The Carter administration said Huyser was sent to Tehran to persuade Iran's generals to work with the weak new government of Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar, and not push it aside with a military coup aimed at crushing the anti-shah opposition. The United States publicly backed t e pro-Western Bakhtiar, who was appointed by Pahlavi just before the em- battled shah left Iran, and apparently was anxious to preser- ve the Iranian armed forces as a unified, anti-communist bulwark in the region. But the Iranian revolutionaries later contended that Huyser's goal was just the opposite-that he laid plans with the Iranian generals for a military takeover. Questions?

Students to receive 'new view, of coumses By BARRY WITT When you are deciding which courses to select next term you'll have the opinions of 7;543 other students at your fingertips-com- pliments of the Michigan Student Assembly's course evaluation project. MSA President Marc Breakstone estimated that 65 percent of LSA students who registered at CRISP last spring completed a course evaluation questionnaire, which asked them to rate the workload and pace of the course and grade the instructor on several points. Breakstone said he is confident the 65 percent figure represents an accurate sample of the student body. STATISTICS FROM the survey are currently on a computer file, and a program is being prepared to analyze the data for publication. Breakstone said he is not sure yet of the method of distribution, but he promised the booklets will be free and said they should be available before December 1. The booklet will give faculty letter grades, and responses to the question concerning workloads will be listed with an adjective such as "heavy" or "light." Information on the number of students in a class versus the number of students responding to the questionnaire will also be provided. If too small a percentage of students from any given class responded, statistics for that class will be dropped from the book. Other information will include the number of respondants who took the course as a part of their academic major. This data will give readers some perspective of the type of studen- ts responding to the questionnaire. BREAKSTONE, AS last year's MSA academic affairs coordinator, was the prime mover behind the organization's involvement with course evaluations. He said he had expec- ted only 4000 responses, and was overwhelmed by the 7400 figure. Breakstone said he hopes "if the first run is successful, the response rate will rise in the future. "A responsibly administered evaluation can benefit everyone," Breakstone added. He said the advantages of an accurate course evaluation are three-fold: " Instructors can use them to get personal constructive criticism ; Administrators can use them to make per- sonnel decisions, e.g. tenure, salaries; and * Students can use them to make "market decisions" on instructors and courses. Breakstone said he began his effort in hopes of someday starting a University-wide evaluation system, in which students complete a form in a classroom setting. But, he added, to move the procedure into the classroom, the group must first get permission from the faculty. The implementation of course evaluations has caused conflicts between faculty and students for many years. Breakstone said he believes faculty members fear these evaluations may jeopardize potential promotions or influence some other job action. In the past, course evaluations were done only at the request of specific departments, and students did not have a chance to comment on almost half of the courses in LSA, according to Breakstone. The course evaluation book will include a disclaimer stating that its results are not scien- tifically conclusive due to the restrictions placed on the survey. .. . ....
