Reaganomics key to Congressional race The Michigan Daily-Sunday, October 24, 1982-Page 3 From AP and UPI If the Democrats hope to regain con- trol of the Senate, they will have to turn snowballing fear of unemployment into an avalanche of anger at President Reagan's economic policies. But according to a poll in recent weeks, more and more Americans have decided that President Reagan's economic policies need more time to work, signaling the effectiveness of Republican efforts to convince the public to "give the guy a chance." THE LATEST Associated Press-NBC News poll says 52 percent of the public now expresses patience with Reagan's economic policies and more than half also accept the GOP contention that the nation's problems are the result of past presidents, not the current one. In comparison, the AP-NBC News poll in August - before the Republican National Committee began its latest flight of television commercials urging patience with the economic policies and to "stay the course" - said only 38 percent believed the president hadn't had enought time to begin im- proving the economy. All of this adds up to possibly good news for GOP candidates with the elec- tions less than 10 days away, since Reagan's economic program has been the dominant issue in many congressional campaigns this fall. Democrats have blamed the policies for high unemployment and Republicans crediting them for lowering inflation. FOR THE Democrats to topple the two-year GOP reign, they will have to hang on to 20 seats they now hold, win two open sets held by retiring Republicans and upset three of 11 GOP incumbents. A United Press International state- by-state survey of the 33 Senate races shows the task is formidable, if not im- possible. Republicans predict they may gain as many as three seats. Democratic campaign officials believe they stand a good chance of gaining at least one seat. But although Americans were more likely to say Democrats are better able to fight unemployment, in the AP poll they rated both parties as equally capable of handling the nation's overall economic problems. In fact, 56 percent of those inter- viewed blamed the nation's economic problems on previous administrations rather than Reagan's. Twenty-three percent blamed Reagan and 21 percent were not sure. Also, the poll said 52 percent of those questioned do not think Reagan has had enough time to begin improving the economy, 43 percent said Reagan's policies have had enough time to become effective. The remainder were undecided. Daily Photo by LISA CHRISTIE Pumpkin profusion.

I Midwest Greeks meet in Ann Arbor By HALLE CZECHOWSKI Midwestern Greeks flocked into town by the tens this weekend, and reactions to this year's annual Big Ten Greek conference were positive, for the most part. Sororities and fraternities from the Big Ten universities and surrounding colleges sent about 100 representatives to Ann Arbor. "We are teaching greeks how to develop a relationship on campus, and a good one at that," according to Alpha Tau Omega member Matthew Harris. MOST participants said they felt the conference was a worthwhile experien- ce. "This is the first conference that I've been to and I'm sure I'll go to more," said Mark Turner of Albion College. "It's been an eye-opener." But some visitors said they were a bit disappointed with the turnout. "If more Big Ten schools had come, it would have been much more beneficial," said Indiana's Debbie Perlman. Mary Jo Pivona from Northern Michigan University said, "I'm surprised that there's not more people here." Sporting the theme "Positive Images on Campus and Beyond," the conferen- ce addressed such issues as "The Sex Appeal of Philanthropy, Computerized Rush, Alternatives to ERA, Social Responsibility, Alcohol Awareness, and Hazing." BUT THE conference was more than just seminars, according to some who attended. "I think it's good, it really unifies the greek system. It's really special to come here to meet your sisters from other states," said Sally Teunesi from Wayne State. Still, not everybody was enthusiastic about the get-together. "I think it's a farce," said Ted Lou of Delta Kappa Epsilon. "To actually spend money on it, it's not worth $30. I think it's a joke. You spend a whole weekend, and what do you learn? I don't know." Lou said that his fraternity planned to send only their pledges to the conference. This weekend marked the first time in two years the greeks have congregated.

RICHARD BUTLER, Director of the Middle East division, National Coun- cil of Churches in the USA.

He will report on his personal observations in Lebanon. At THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER For information, 603 E. Madison St. please col662-5529 (Continued from Page 1) "DORM ROOMS are a small area where a animal would beatightly con- fined,'"j he continued, and "often students are too busy with tight schedules to properly take care of pets." Students sometimes do not make good pet owners, said Julie Morris, education director of the Huron Valley Humane Society. "Most students are transients; they move around a lot, and this can be a problem if they own pets," she said. "If a student moves, his new roommates may not like pets, or the new landlord may not allow pets." And finding a new owner for the pet can be difficult. Nancy, a University student, is the owner of Splotchy, a cat which she's been trying to get rid of because her landlord doesn't allow pets. Posters around campus advertise Splotchy as an "adorable kitten." Nan- cy said, "We've been actively trying to getsrid of Splotchy forthree weeks, and no one has shown an interest. We're desperate to get rid of her." THE PET usually loses out in this situation, said Morris. "The pet will of- ten end up at the Humane Society. If we can't find an owner for it, we will humanely destroy it." Doris Dixon, Michigan coordinator for the Fund for Animals, said, "Students are sometimes too wrapped up in their own lives to care for an animal. An animal needs love just like people. Students should spend a day at the Humane Society to learn more about how animals suffer." Many students, however, do have the time to car for their pets. The Sigma Chi fraternity on State St. owns an energetic dog named That- cher. According to Dave Train, a senior in mechanical engineering, Thatcher is a black labrador with a white chest who originally introduced himself by wagging his tail and running around the kitchen looking for crumbs. "The dog leads a healthy sex life," Train said jokdngly. "He goes both ways. Basically one person takes care of him and sleeps with him, the same guy who's in charge of the kitchen." That- cher is also a dog of diverse interests, said Train. "He has several hobbies: running, classical music, soccer, and going to classes. Those and his sex habits keep him busy." No sororities say they own pets. A member of Delta Delta Delta sorority on Tappan St. said, "We have no pets here, nor boys, nor men."
