They also confirmed that Canham has ordered all hockey team players to stay out of local bars as punishment for the hazing of five freshman team mem- bers last Sunday. The three players-team captain Tim Manning, alternate captain John Blum, The Michigan hockey team lost the first game of the season 3-2 to Bowling Green University. See story, Page 7. and senior right-wing Jeff Mars-also confirmed that Canham said players would be suspended for the rest of the season if they violated the bar restric- tions. ADDITIONALLY, THE three seniors confirmed an earlier claim by sources who asked to remain unidentified that "the team leaders.,... are bearing the brunt of the punishment for the entire team, and were not the primary in- stigators of the hazing incident" in which 15 veterans reportedly par- ticipated. Manning, Blum, and Mars, reached by telephone last night, verified reports that the Daily received earlier yester- day. The three veterans are considered in- tegral members of the hockey team. They said they did not make the trip to Bowling Green yesterday and will not be participating in tonight's game against the Falcons. WHEN ASKED by a reporter-early yesterday to confirm the suspensions and the bar restrictions, Canham said, "If they don't play, somebody probably held them back." After saying that additional disciplinary action may be taken, the athletic director declined further com- 'ment. University President Harold Shapiro said in a prepared statement Thursday that no official information will be released concerning the identities or the punishment of the hockey team members who were involved ins the hazing incident Sunday night. DURING THE hazing, one player was stripped; had his body hair shaved; and was abandoned drunk, sick, cold, and incoherent at his dorm. "Our regental bylaws contain the overall concept of the right to privacy of students, faculty, and staff mem- bers. Student rights of privacy are guaranteed by Federal law, under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, and were reinforced here at Michigan by the University's Board of Regents when they adopted a new regental bylaw on Rights of Privacy and Access to Information," Shapiro said in the statement. "I stated earlier this week that the iUniversity community is shocked at the ldeplorable disregard of the personal safety and well-being of a fellow student and that the University finds such behavior totally reprehensible. We could not support the continued operation of any group which allowed such practices to continue." The victim of the hazing told the Daily Thursday that he did not wish to press charges. The hockey team released a statement Wednesday that conflcited with reports by Markley Dormitory Resident Adviser Steve Kralnke, who said the unidentified player was strip- ped, had his genital hair shaved off as well as hair on other parts of his body. "THE FRESHMAN involved did not have his entire body shaved and after being outside where he vomited twice was brought inside to be warmed," the statement said. "He was not, according "to earlier newspaper accounts, left out- side to be sick, lying on the ground for more than an hour and a half." "As the case was -throughout the evening," the release said, no physical force was involved although peer pressure was evident." Manning Daily Photo by PETER SERLING SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY (D-Mass.) praises Kathleen O'Reilly, candidate for the Second District congressional seat, at a local fundraiser for the candidate yesterday. Kennedy By STEVE HOOK The political parade continued yesterday as Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) came to Ann Arbor to promote U.S. congressional candidate Kathleen O'Reilly at a $50-a-head fundraiser. The city has been a stomping ground for political figures and their relatives in recent weeks with Jerry Ford, Edmund Muskie, Keke Anderson, and Joan Mondale stopping in. Yesterday, Kennedy joined much of the state's Democratic machine to promote O'Reilly's campaign. KENNEDY, WHO WORKED with O'Reilly during her directorship of the Consumer Federation of America, praised the Plymouth resident as "one of the outstanding lights in the Democratic Party." "The consumers' voice has never been articulated so compassionately," he continued. O'Reilly, a prominent consumer activist, is attempting to oust two-term incumbent Carl Pursell (R-Plymouth) from his Second District seat. Nearly 200 paid guests, political dignitaries, and jour- nalists stuffed the 126 N. Division home of attorney George Sallade-a well-known Democratic booster-to see and hear Kennedy. His arrival was later than expected, and the senator spoke for only five minutes before shaking hands and departing out a side door. He made a similar address to another 200 people crowded outside the home beforehand. "I HAD HOPED," Kennedy quipped, "that since George has been such a faithful assistant to the Democrataic party, Greets local Dems at O'Relly party that I could have invited him to the White House. Things didn't quite work out that way, however, and instead, he in- vites me over to his house." Once he finished elaborating the virtues of an O'Reilly victory, Kennedy restated his appeal for President Carter's re-election. He described the Reagan candidacy as represen- ting the "forces of negativism, reaction, and retreat," and hailed the president as supporting forces of "hope and op- portunity." SALLADE'S LIVING ROOM resembled a living who's who of area Democrats: state Sen. Edward Pierce (D-Ann Ar- bor) was present, along with state Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor). Neil Staebler, the retired 20-year Michigan Democratic party chairman-nicknamed the "Grand old man of Michigan politics"-also attended the fundraiser. In addition, dozens of regional mayors, county commissioners, school board officials, circuit court judges, and township of- ficials-all Democrats from the Second District-joined, together to endorse O'Reilly. "This type of thing will bring out all past, present, and future Democratic politicians in the area," said local lawyer Les Seeligson. He called yesterday's event "the most suc- cessful fundraiser anybody's seen around here in a hell of a long time." O'Reilly herself appeared pleased with the morning's fundraiser. She said that "the message of '(Kennedy's) com- ments was very helpful," and added that the fundraiser "should keep us charged up" betweeen now and the Novem- ber 4 election. Bm .

BUDGET MA Y CAUSE CONFLICTS: Fa clsitnedraise By JAY McCORMICK Although faculty members under- stand the University's financial dif- ficulties, they need a "substantial" pay increase next year, a faculty spokesman told the Regents yesterday. The faculty is "appreciative that the raise (in 1980-81) of 9 percent was the highest in a decade,"- said Economics Prof. Ronald Teigen, head of the Com- mittee on the Economic Status of the Faculty. Because inflation is about 13 percent, there was a decline in the "real" wage of faculty membt , he said. THE CURRENT year is the fifth con- secutive year that the faculty has lost purchasing power in its "real" dollar salary, Teigen said. "This can only lead to discouragement and disincentive to the pursuit of the sort of activities that will enhance this University," he said. Faculty members have been forced to bear more than their share of the financial burden in good times, Teigen said, and it may be hard for the Regents to persuade the faculty to bear the bur- den in hard times. Regent Sarah Power (D-Ann Arbor) suggested that the faculty would be wise to work to help defeat the Tisch tax cut ballot proposal if pay raises are desired. "It seems to me not one of these things can be considered without the other," she said. IT WAS THE Regents' turn yesterday to take a swipe at the Tisch tax cut proposal-Proposal D. The University would lose much of its state funding if voters approve the tax cut, University administrators have argued. "It's no overstatement to say we have a real fire at our door," said Power. The Regents watched a 15 minute slide show on the effects of the tax cut on higher education. Malcolm Baroway, University director of state and community relations, who is coor- dinating the University's anti-Tisch ef- forts, said he recently read a newsletter published by Eastern Michigan Univer- sity in Ypsilanti that claimed EMU would fold if Proposal D passes. "IT'S GENERALLY agreed that if the proposal were voted on today, it would pass," Baroway said. Vice President for University Relations Michael Radock said, "Proposal D is a . . . threat to higher education and to the University. We cannot wake up on November 5 and say See FACULTY, Page 8 By RON POLLACK "He opened his door and they dragged him out into the hall and started pushing and hitting him." "He" is a player on this year's Michigan football team, who as a freshman in 1977 was the victim of a hazing at the hands of 20 fellow black football players, according to six University seniors who said they witnessed parts of various hazing incidents. THE MICHIGAN HOCKEY team, then, apparently is not the only varsity team with a recent history of hazings. The six seniors, who asked to remain anonymous, in- dependently confirmed this week the 1977 hazings of several freshman football players in a University dor- mitory. The students said the hazings appeared to be ad- ministered exclusively by black players to black fresh- men. Several black football players contacted this week said they knew of no hazing or initiation rites among the Wolverines. But the six students said they witnessed specific hazing incidents. "WE KNEW THAT they were coming. The freshman players told us of this," one of the witnesses said. "A' group of about 20 black football players came and started pounding on doors until they found a black football player. "They found (the freshman who is now a player on the 1980 team). He opened his door and they dragged him out into the hall and started pushing and hitting him," the witness continued. Another witness, who said he saw the same hazing, said the players were scorned if they didn't participate in the ritual initiations. "ONCE A FRESHMAN was caught, he had to accom- pany the pack. (The current player) refused to join the pack and they began to shout (various obscenities) at him." Some of the six witnesses said one player, to avoid being hazed, did not sleep in his dorm room for three days. "Whenever one of the football players got beaten, there was an instant grapevine," one of the seniors said. "All the other black freshman players got out of there fast." The six seniors cited several other hazing instances that could not be confirmed. ONE ALLEGED INCIDENT occurred when the older players pounded on the doors of two freshman players' rooms and got no answer. According to one of the wit- nesses, "The athletes then went to the RA's room and began pounding on his door. They told him three times to open the players' doors. When he didn't, they threatened that they would kick in his door and get him. (To avoid the players, the Resident Adviser) went out his window."

It seems that a group of monks is objecting to the filming of the new James Bond epic "For Your Eyes Only" in their remote Athens monastery because they find the film "thoroughly immoral." In an in- monks' horror. The production company's legal adviser said "the monks are being quite unreasonable. We are paying $400 a day to the Culture Ministry for permission to film at historic monuments. We intend to go ahead." Perhaps Her Majesty's secret service will be called in if 007 does not triumph soon.

Sticks and stones Chalk one up for the name callers. For decades, parents have been telling their children that if they don't have something nice to say, they shouldn't say anything at all. But a district court in Copenhagen has ruled that in some cases it's okay to call people names. The court decided a worker cannot be fired from his job without advance notice or severance pay just because he calls his boss' wife qn "old hag." Reversing a lower-court decision, the district court said recently the name-calling came "in an isolated in- cident under circumstances that did not justify" firing the man.
