"We got close to 100 letters. We didn't have to solicit - people just came up to us." The launching of the campaign comes at a crucial time for the MX's enemies, since Congress will most likely vote on building the missile in quantity within the next two or three weeks, according APPE I Highlights Pigs with Wings continues its weekly Coffee Cabana tonight with an assor- tment of classical, folk, and rock music, poetry readings, and fiction presen- tations starting at 10 p.m. Entrance to the show in East Quad's Halfway Inn is through the Church Street side of the building.

Both the petitions and a large portion of the letters will be delivered to Congressman Carl Purcell (R- Plymouth), who is considered to have a "swing vote" because of his incon- sistant voting record on the MX. Although much of the focus of the campaign is on Purcell, students not registered to vote in Ann Arbor are being urged to write to their home-state representatives. A list of every congressional representative and his or her voting record on the MX is provided, as well as a list of suggestions as to what the letters should say. THE CAMPAIGN coordinators are also providing letter writers with sam- ple letters,- which may begin with, "I urge you to vote 'No' on the funding for the MX missile." While some students are following the format, others are writing their own letter - all to be mailed by MSA when the campaign is over. The assembly is paying for the letter writing paper and the postage to mail the letters. "It is a documented fact that congressmen and women do consider their mail in making decisions," said MSA member Susan Povich, an LSA junior. GRADUATE STUDENT Alyson Hagey, who wrote a letter yesterday to her Virginia representative, agreed that the letters can make a difference. She has participated in similar cam- paigns in Connecticut, and said she felt "we were very influential in the swing vote." For LSA Junior Steve Winkelman, the campaign provided "the oppor- tunity to do something." "I've always been against the MX, but I've always been to lazy to do something about it," said Winkelman, whose letter to Purcell said, "It's too big an issue to be a political issue. It's a conscience issue." Anbender said she felt MSA was justified in becoming involved in this political issue, and that the commit- tee's work is representative of the student body's interests. "A lot of people might have had qualms about student government being involved in political issues," she said. But she added that students will be directly affected by the construction of the new missile, since "the money is being taken out of higher education." /" H VM AM t . u U Daily Photo by SCOTT ZOLTON and Susan Povich enlist student support letter writing campaign against the MX MSA members Mary Berridge yesterday in the fishbowl for a missile. Pizza drivers to- look out for street crime By TRACEY MILLER When Ann Arbor residents have Domino's Pizza delivered next month, the drivers won't just be watching how much of a tip they recieve. A new program beginning Oct. 31 will pit Ann Arbor criminals against the watchful eyes of Domino delivery people, who will "spot suspicious things and report them to the police," accor- ding to Det. Jerry Wright, head of the Ann Arbor Police Crime Prevention Unit. THE DRIVERS will work in conjun- ction with the Neighborhood Watch Program, a plan that encourages city residents to report suspicious activity in their neighborhood. Only one Domino's outlet - the Georgetown Mall Store - will par- ticipate in the crime watch at the beginning. "This program will be evaluated at this site at the end of the year," Wright said. "If it shows merit, then we could expand the program to all locations." The program will be implemented in the store's delivery boundaries, which included the Burns Park neighborhood and West and South Quad. The area is bordered on the north by Hill and Ged- des, on the east by Huron Parkway, on the south by W. Stadium and Washtenaw, and on the west by S. State. THE CITY'S residents won't be the only ones to benefit from this program. Pizza delivery drivers are often crime victims themselves, said Katie Geddes, manager of the Georgetown Mall Domino's. This system should work out well, be- cause not only are we looking out for the neighborhood residents, but (residents) are also looking out to make sure that a Domino's pizza driver doesn't get assaulted while on the job," Geddes said. Burns Park Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Elaine Fisher agreed that the program will benefit both residents and drivers. "This program was in- stituted because the police felt the mobile patrol of the pizza deliverers was needed, and also because the pizza people seemed to be attacked quite of- ten," she said. ANN ARBOR police will appreciate the help from watchful drivers, accor- ding to Wright. "With the concentration of pizza drivers, they would be patrolling the area more than the patrol officers," he said. The Ann Arbor program follows a similar plan initiated by Domino's and Ypsilanti Police last June, called "Piz- za on Patrol," or POP. Randy Tincher, assistant manager of the Domino's outlet at 301 Cross in Yp- silanti, said that the program has been successful so far. "We've reported many incidents to the police since the summer," he said. "One guy paid for his pizza out of a bank bag at a motel delivery. As soon as our driver got back to the store, he called it in," Tincher said, adding that he didn't know if the report led to an arrest.

McKeachie, who has handled proxy votes in his work for the American Psychological Foundation, said that it would be relatively easy for the Univer- sity to implement a more "responsible" proxy policy. He said that an organization which specializes in in- vestor responsibility questions prepares the arguments on both sides of the issues for institutions to consider before they vote. The University sub- scribes to the reports of the Investor Responsibility Research Center, which analyzes the issues. Considering the issues separately "is not a difficult thing to do," McKeachie said. "And a high proportion of the issues are ones that there is very sub- stantial agreement on." 7 HAIRCUTTERS * NO WAITING DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State. . 6. .
