A WIDE SELECTION of costumes will be available 'at the annual Halloween costume sale today and tomorrow in the
Frieze Building. Money raised will help buy costume shop equipment for the Theatre Department.
Used costum'-es beco me
irick- or reat garb,
By ANNETTE STARON
A nickel won't buy much anymore, but today and tomor-,
row it could purchase a variety of items ranging from a pair
of shoes-to raggy shirts.
The annual Halloween costume sale, hosted by, the
University Theatre Program, will offer "lots of good
things," said Zelma Weisfeld, a Theatre and Drama
professor. "Good things" includes velvet jackets, Chinese
clothing, silk dresser, and even some medieval costumes.
PRICES FOR THE goodies range from five cents to $50.
Items from recent department productions are also on sale,
including some costumes that Weisfeld designed.
"The best things go very, very early," cautioned Donald
Hart, a graduate student in directing, "but they do save
some good things and bring them out later."
"HATS GO FAST and so do capes, masks, and
wigs," Weisfeld added. Complete costumes are also for
sale, but Weisfeld said often "people like to make up their
own costumes," and come to the sale for ideas.
Money raised from the sale'will help buy costume shop
equipment. Last year's proceeds helped pay costuming
costs for the department's production of The Lion and the
Jewel, and also bought dressmaker forms for the shop.
"They are necessities (for the shop) but not necessities
you can budget into a show," Weisfeld explained
The racks of costumes and boxes of doodads will line the
hallway near room 1528 in the Frieze Building, between 9
a.m. and5np.m. today andtmrnorrow.
*Pursell, O'Reilly
agree Tisch cut
is dangerous
By SUE INGLIS
Kathleen O'Reilly and Carl Pursell
may be at odds on many political
issues, but the two contenders for the
Second Congressional District seat
agree that one issue is important
enough to override partisan con-
siderations.
They both agree that passage of
Proposal D, the Tisch tax cut amen-
dment, would be a disaster for the con-
stituents and for the Universtiy in
general.
gCAMPUS IGNORANCE about the
proposed amendment is "ironic con-
sidering the devastating impact" its
passage would have, on University
students, Democratic challenger
O'Reilly said at a press conference in
the Michigan Union yesterday.
"I don't know of any student who is
looking forward to doubling or tripling
of tuition," O'Reilly said.
Although he could not be at the anti-
Tisch press conference because of a
previous engagement, Pursell also has
strongly expressed his opposition to the
plan that would cut property taxes in
half while requiring the state to reim-
burse local governments for lost
revenue.
O'REILLY SAID she feels a strong
bi-partisan effort is necessary to defeat
the Tisch amendment under which she
said funding for higher education would
be cut by 60 percent leaving only
enough money to fund Michigan State
University, Wayne State University,
and the University of Michigan at half
of the present levels, and no state
money at all for the other state colleges
and universities.
Iran says
redyto
meet hostage
release terms
From AP and UPI
Iranian leaders said yesterday that
the United States appears ready to
meet their conditions for release of the
52 hostages, and the Americans could
be freed as early as next Monday,
reports from Tehran said.
The indications of progress from
Tehran were not confirmed by U.S. of-
ficials in Washington, who reacted
skeptically to some aspects of the
reports.
State Department spokesman John
Trattner repeatedly refused to answer
reporters' questions about whether the
United States considered itself to have
met the four conditions laid down by
Khomeini.
Trattner said, however, that the at-
mosphere of optimism about a
resolution of the hostage crisis "arises
from facts which are simply, not in
view."
Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai
reportedly told a news conference in
Tehran the Carter administration
seems prepared to comply with the
Iranian demands.
Rajai was reported to have told
reporters the United States appears
ready to accept four conditions-set
down by Iranian leader Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini-for the hostages'
freedom:

condemned for heresy by the Roman Catholic Church. Ac-
cording to Archbishop Paul Poupard, acting president of
the Vatican Secretariat for Non-Believers, the action is
being taken on the "precise wish" of Pope John Paul II.
Last year the pope said the scientist had been wrongly con-
demned for maintaining that the earth was not the center of
the universe. Galileo believed the sun of this solar system to
be the center of the universe, an idea which landed him in
