After watching a new version of the team ,he played for and captainedx some 45 years ago, Ford interrupted the football workout.' "I didn't mean to cut into your prac- tice," Ford apologized to University head coach Bo Schembechler. But neither Schembechler nor the team seemed to mind. "ARE YOU GOING to haved a debate with Carter?" one of the players asked, pointing to star wide- receiver Anthony Carter. "This car- ter has talent," the player added as FOPMER PR his teammates voiced their approval. Regents' Plaz See FORD, Page 6 Keke Arj By DAVID MEYER President Carter's chances for re-election are virtually nil and the Nov. 4 presidential election is now simply "a choice between Anderson and, Reagan," Keke Anderson, wife of independent presidential candidate John Anderson, said last night. Anderson, in town for a campaign fundraiser, said at a press corTerence that Carter's recent statements associating Ronajg Reagan with war. and- social. divisiveness demonstrate the president's fear of a Republican victory. "HE (CARTER) IS getting hysterical," Anderson said. 'He knows he is not going to win this election." "Even though candidate Carter is not going to be returned to office," he is attempting to undermine Anderson's efforts to secure loans to finance a media advertising campaign, she said. Anderson said that Carter, in memos issued from the White House, has been urging banks to be unusually selective in their C ampus darkened after light cables cut Daily Photo by JOHN HAGEN RESIDENT AND University alumnus Gerald Ford speaks to members of the University Community at a yesterday.

"Cables have been cut and are ex- posed in some places" along State Street because of the renovation, said James Connelly, director of customer and marketing services at Detroit Edison. He explained that three circuits on State Street service the unlit area and all have been dug up. THE BLACKOUT area extends from Thayer Street to the Diag, including Rackham Auditorium, the Modern Languages Building, and surrounding sidewalks. The problem should be improving, Connelly said, "but I can't make a prediction" on when service will be restored. He said that as soon as one break in the underground cable is fixed, another one breaks. Walter Stevens, director of campus security, said he only became aware of the problem late yesterday afternoon. Detroit Edison told him the problem should have been corrected yesterday, he added. "We will be working with Detroit Edison very closely to try to get the problem solved," Stevens stated. HE ALSO SAID Campus Se urity will increase its patrols in that area. "We will alert our patrols and have them hang in that area as much as they can," Stevens explained. Ann Arbor Police Commanding Of- ficer Lt. Marvin Konkle stated that the police are also increasing patrols in the dark area. "I just instructed one of my men to go out and check the area," he added. Frank Piehl, a City Hall construction engineer, blamed the city for the problem. He said the city was trying to save money on the construction project. Leaving the old lights in, Piehl said, is "a serious problem. . . they are poorly spaced." THE CABLES ARE old and brittle, Piehl further explained, and they are only two to four inches below the sur- face of the sidewalk. Detroit Edison should replace them "now, not after the sidewalks have been laid and must be torn up again," he said. "Detroit Edison gets very good cooperation from City Hall, but State Street is a very difficult project," Con nelly said. Piehl added that "adverse con- ditions" have caused construction problems. For example, he said, the construction area is congested, limited work space is available, pedestrians and heavy traffic cause problems, and crewshave no records of what is un- derneath the surface. City Assistant Administrator Godfrey See CAMPUS, Page 2 decisions to make loans to political candidates., She said that the memos were "harassing . . threatening," the banks, in an effort to put a financial squeeze on the Anderson campaign. The 49-year-old Anderson also disputed recent poll results which cast doubt on her husband's chances in the election, now less than a month away. She said that a recent New York Times poll, which shows the independent candidate's current political support at about 10 percent.oLthevoting population,.represents.... too narrow a cross-section of the public. "I will go out on a limb and predict ... that (future) national polls" will reflect a growing popularity for Anderson, she said. FURTHERMORE, HER husband is the only major presidential candidate with a clear political ideology, Anderson said. "It will be 'politics as usual"' if Car- ter or Reagan is elected, she said. ' Anderson characterized her husband as the only candidate with "the courage to make decisions based on whether they're good for the country," as distiguished from basing them on individual political interests. "He (Anderson) is worrying about the country, not the loss of votes," she said. "This country has been broken down into special interest groups," Anderson said, adding that her husband's political goal is "to get rid of the special in- terest groups" and return to a more unified America. "We have got to unite this country as a whole, and John can do that," she said. RESPONDING TO recent allegations that her husband has flip-flopped politcally since his earlier, more conservative days as a Congressman and now espouses a traditionally liberal ideology, she said that Anderson has always "voted on his conscience." "My husband's philosophies on fiscal matters have not changed since the first day he went to Congress," See KEKE, Page 6 ~ Shana, Jack square off at. Hil By STEVE HOOK Primed and ready for a good fight, more than 1,300 people gathered on the main floor of Hill Auditorium last night to witness a confrontation of right and left. The soldiers in the two-hour verbal duel: Columnist James Kilpatrick- stately in manner, grandiloquent in speech, and thoroughly conservative in his politics; and fellow journalist Shana Alexander-brusque and unyielding, a lifelong mouthpiece of liberals, feminists, and the silent majority.

The ex-"60 Minutes" rivals s," evaluate See SHANA, Page 6 Frye sees Tiscb as harmful By MAURA CARRY University Vice-President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye said yesterday that program cutbacks and hiring freezes-which the University might make if it doesn't receive in- creased state aid-will seem mild com- pared to cuts necessary if the Tisch tax- cut amendment is passed in November. With the passage of Proposal D-the Tisch proposal-state appropriations to the University, Michigan. State, and Wayne State universities would likely be slashed in half. Appropriations to all other Michigan universities and colleges would be completely eliminated, many experts say. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS and tuition grant programs would also be eliminated under the proposed Tisch plan. These programs account for ap- proximately $37 million in financial aid this year to college students. Frye said that the Tisch amendment would have "a massive effect on all of higher education" because it could lead to the elimination of certain faculty positions and force the University to put a hiring freeze on all vacant positions. Even if Proposal D does not pass, the University is going to have to cut back in all departments, Frye said. He also said that some sort of incentive should be given to various departments for making the cuts, which should be specified by the administration. FRYE ALSO SAID recently that in- creasingly lean budgets might cause layoffs among non-instructional staff at the University. The Daily yesterday reported that Frye indicated faculty layoffs could be forthcoming if the state fails to in- crease the University's budget allocations, but he actually predicted layoffs only among non-faculty em- ployees. Frye made his earlier remarks at a Monday meeting of the LSA faculty. The problem with trying to cut back on faculty, Frye pointed out, is that right now there are many tenured professors who will not be ready to retire for another five to ten years. Af- ter that, the University will need to hire more faculty, but will not have the resources to do so, he said. But since faculty turnover will in- crease once tenured professors start retiring, vacancies will open up. The University will not have to fill all these openings, and therefore, will save money.

Tow-away zone WHAT HAPPENS when a University parking enforcement officer asks you to move your car? You hit him on the head with a quart can of glue. At least that's what one irritated driver did yesterday, police said.

Brothels have been a part of Dead-- wood's colorful history since the goldrush era and operated in the town's tourist area, in defiance of a state law. Patrons of the Old Style No. 10, a bar named after the saloon where Wild Bill Hickok was shot in 1876, bemoaned the closing of the brothels, believing the historic institutions added to the town's wild west flavor. "I think they should be open," one hotel worker said. "They weren't doing anybody any harm, not in no way, shape, or manner." But others failed to see the contributions the brothels made to their up- standing town, and felt a sense of victory when the old doors were barred.

Not students in 20- high schools in East Lansing, who will be "playing the stock market" in a computerized learning game-for cash prizes.

Given a choice between the island and $100,000 is cash as the first prize in a tobacco-company's sweepstakes, Rawlings opted for the island. Since she's spent, so much time patching up her two-story, 100-year-old farmhouse, the choice was easy. Her husband, on the other hand, has not been so anxious about finding a new huse, nor is he eager to move. "I guess we'll go down and give it a trial," said Raymond Rawlings. He added that he would have to find something to do because he's worked all his life and can't imagine just going fishing everyday.
