The Ann Arbor area won't be hit nearly as hard as other portions of the country, where a snowstorm rivaling the bliz- zard of 1978 blocked highways in the Midwest with waist-high drifts and disabled vehicles yesterday, as snow spread from Dixie to the Northeast. LOCAL WEATHER authorities predict that a total of seven to 10 inches of snow will have accumulated by the time the storm runs its course. They say Mother Nature won't be finished until sometime Wednesday. Although it appears that a blizzard has struck, don't be fooled. According to WDIV-TV meteorologist Paul Gross, this snowstorm can't be classified as a blizzard because tem- peratures aren't nearly cold enough. Technically, the tem- perature must be at least 10 degrees and winds must be blowing at 35 mpg. As of late last night, the temperature in Ann Arbor was only 22 degrees, with winds gusting to a mere 25 mph. The season's biggest storm inched across other parts of the Midwest yesterday, plastering Missouri with up to 18 inches of snow and sending seasoned Indiana residents rushing to supermarkets to stock up for a winter siege. THE STORM, which rolled out of the Colorado Rockies during the weekend with whistling gusts, heavy snows, and soaking rains, was on a track forecasters predicted would take it into the heavily populated Northeast by today. The storm system's high winds, cold temperatures and heavy snows were blamed for six deaths from Texas to Florida. A 77-year-old Illinois man was killed and four other people were injured Sunday when a car skidded off icy Route 15 and fell 30 feet down an embankment. "IT'S PROBABLY the biggest storm this year, ast far as its breadth, its size," said Bill Sammler, of the National Severe Storms Forecasting Center In Kansas City, Mo. "It may end up being the worst," he said. The storm was especially dangerous because of its slow pace, which gave the system time to collect more moisture as it moved from the Gulf of Mexico toward the Atlantic Ocean. "It looks like it's also going to be a very good storm for the See ANN ARBOR, Page 6 Daily Photo by DOUG McMAHON Students ignore the warning to avoid the block 'M' on the Diag as they rush to get out of yesterday's blizzardy weather. U oins other schools in draft law challenge By LAURIE DELATER The University's regents last week joined the University of Minnesota to challenge the Solomon Amendment, a federal law, denying financial aid to students who do not register for the draft. The regents, however, only agreed to oppose the amen- dment on the grounds that it forces universities to enforce the. law. They declined to support the University of Minnesota's full legal brief, which argues against the law's con- stitutionality on several points. A MINNESOTA FEDERAL judge ruled the law uncon- titutional last year, but the U.S. Justice Department is ap- pealing that ruling before the Supreme Court. The Minnesota Civil Liberties Union, which will oppose the Justice Depar- tment in the trial, asked the University to join the University of Minnesota's challenge of the law.,. The regents were wary of supporting the full brief because they had seen only a rough draft of the arguments, and because the brief challenges the law on several grounds with which the regents did not agree. As aresult, they asked the University of Minnesota to in- clude a special paragraph written by Roderick Daane, the University's general counsel. THE PARAGRAPH says that the University's "sole pur- pose" in opposing the law is to take the responsibility for en- forcement off the universities' shoulders and to remove the administrative burden the law creates for universities.

"More ork needs to be done before dif- s of opinion can be discussed in- tly in a conference setting." THE REPORT suggested that any conference on the topic should be broad-based, avoiding specific issues such as limiting some types of or all military research until the basic issues are understood. The report said that any conference would take nearly a year to organize. During the committee's meeting, Chairman Herbert Hildebrandt noted that the proposed form of the conferen- ce would not "give much to students" in the way of participating in the con- ference.

The jerseys, which were worn by Tom Harmon, Bennie Oosterbann, and Ron Kramer, were reported missing from the display cases on December 15. THERE WAS no sign of forced entry into the cases, according to city police, and there is some indication that keys were stolen a day earlier. 1 According to Ann Arbor Police Sgt, Harold Tinsey, an anonymous third party attorney tipped off police to the whereabouts of the jerseys. Police were led to Eastern Michigan University students and further in- vestigation led to contacts at the University of Florida's campus .at Gainesville, according to another unidentified source, Tinsey said. TINSEY SAID there is insufficient evidence in the cast to charge anyone with stealing the jerseys. "We got the jerseys back finally and it was nice to see them returned," said Ann Arbor detective Dave Jachalke, who was assigned to the case. University Athletic Director Don Canham said in a- written statement last week, "We are extremely indebted to the Ann Arbor Police Department and the Ann Arbor Detective Depar- tment for their tremendous efforts in tracking down the items and having them returned undamaged." Canham added, "The memorabilia is of great historical significance to us and the many fans who view the items on a weekly basis in Crisler Arena. We are extremely pleased to have them returned." The jerseys have been housed at Crisler since Millie Schembechler, wife of head football coach Bo Schem- bechler, organized a display in 1979 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Michigan football.

From AP and UPI CONCORD, N.H. - Front-runner Walter Mon- dale left last-minute campaigning to an army of 700 workers Monday as his seven Democratic rivals combed New Hampshire on the eve of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. A major storm with snow, sleet, and freezing rain was forecast for primary day, which could hurt the turnout expected to be about 100,000 on the Democratic side. AS MONDALE shook the last hand of a lone New Hampshire campaign, a poll indicated yesterday that Sen. Gary Hart was closing in on the Democratic presidential front-runner one day before the state's kickoff primary. "I'm not looking at the polls. We're doing well," the former vice president said as he greeted workers outside a shoe factory on a cold morning. But Hart, bidding to displace Sen. John Glenn as Mondale's closest rival, declared, "There's a lot of voter switching," in the final hours of the campaign. "People are jumping all over the place." Hart declared he already has won in New Hampshire, because he is considered a serious candidate." TWO FRESH POLLS agreed Mondale holds a lead over Hart, who has surged into a second place on the strength of a surprise runner-up finish in last Monday's lead-off Iowa caucuses. An ABC-Washington Post poll reported Mon- dale had 32 percent of the support, to 25 percent for Hart, 15 percent for Sen. John Glenn and 8 percent for the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Former Sen. George McGovern had 5 percent and Sen. Ernest Hollings had 3 percent, followed by Sen. Alan Cranston with 2 percent and former Florida Gov. Reubin Askew with 1 percent in a survey of 450 voters. MONDALE HIMSELF campaigned only briefly in the state during the day. He spent less than half-hour standing outside Manchester shoe factory, then flew to Boston to accept the endorsement of Mayor Ray Flynn. He left behind him a strong, labor-backed organization that is the envy of his seven rivals and has made him a prohibitive favorite in a state that will send 22 delegates to the Democratic National convention. Hart decided to stay in New Hampshire and campaign to the last. His strategy for the last 24 hours, he said, was "try not to make a mistake." See HART, Page 5 0TODAY Attorney-out-law AN WHITE is confident about his book parodying the legal profession because "Everyone in the United States either is a lawyer or hates one." With that market in mind, the 30-year-old at- torney spent nights and weekends scribbling his thoughts on a legal pad to come up with The Official Lawyer's Han- dbook. The firm White works for, Hogan & Hartson, is one torts, class actions and contracts. "There's no telling what torts, class actions and contracts.

Police said the youths, ages 13 to 16 simply lifted the brightly colored canvases off the walls- of a gallery in the Hotel Continental and walked out the door. The boys made off with 7 paintings over a two-week period, police said. Some of the canvases by popular Chicago artist Manuel Ruiz were five feet wide. In one heist, witnesses said they saw a shoeshine boy carrying a shoeshine box un- der one arm and a painting under the other. By Sunday, three of the boys were in custody and 10 of the paintings had k 1- n .nA 4a-ndt kaucni d 4nitna bastion on campus.
