City probes West Quad trash fire Fire officials were investigating last night to determine the cause of a trash can fire in the West Quad dormitory. The fire in a first-floor Adams House bathroom was extinguished by the dormitory staff before firefighters arrived early yesterday evening. Battalion Chief John Hartlep of the Ann Arbor Fire Department said the cause was under investigation. He would not say whether arson was suspected, but he said the University had asked the fire department to in- vestigate the fire. He would not speculate on whether the fire was related to the trash can fires which plagued South Quad last week. Those fire are still under investigaton. By KELLY ANN COLEMAN Searching for the key to corporate success, students and professionals are snatching up copies of Chrysler Chair- man Lee Iacocca's autobiography at campus bookstores. A recent poll by The Chronicle of High Education ranked lococca: An Autobiography as the best-selling book on college campuses across the coun- try, and area book dealers say copies are a hot item here too. THE BOOK, which charts Iacocca's climb to the corporate boardroom at Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp., is most popular among married couples and young professionals,'accordingto employees at local bookstores. Nevertheless, several students said they received Iacocca's autobiography for Christmas. They said they hoped to discover clues for getting ahead in business in Iacocca's tale. "Everybody's looking for the secret to success," said Jeff Bussell, a senior in the business school. "Maybe (Iacoc- ca) has it." "ANYONE who can turn around Chrysler from the depths of misery is someone I want to know about," said a computer science student who asked that his name not be used. Rumors that Iacocca was on Walter Mondale's short list of possible vice- presidential candidates and now is viewed as a potential 1988 presidential candidate have also sparked student in- terest in the book. "I want to find out more about Lee Iacocca. He's so big right now. Everyone knows about him," said one senior engineering student. LOCAL STORES had to work hard to keep the book on their shelves during the Christmas rush as students picked up copies to give friends and family. An employee at Border's said the store sold 30-40 copies everyday during the December buying spree. Sales are currently down to about 3 copies a week, other stores report. Since the book's release 14 weeks ago, Border's has sold 692 copies, Com- munity News about 150, Logos roughly 120, Ulrich's 60, and month-old Barnes and Noble has already cleared 50 copies. The 341-page book is divided into four sections: the first summarizes Iacocca's beginnings; the second his ascendance to the top of Ford and his power struggle with Henry Ford; the third details Iacocca's efforts to pull the embattled Chrysler Corp. into the black; and finally, a section entitled "Straight Talk," frank advice from the auto king. "THE 'STRAIGHT TALK' sec- tion-sort of 'the gospel according to Iacocca'-was particularly infor- mative," said the computer science student. But he added, "Iacocca comes off a little too good to be true. He puts a little halo over his head at times." Seth Martin, an LSA junior, said the autobiography "struck me as a book kind of like Ron Luciano's The Umpire Strikes Back. Lee's book has more dep- th of purpose, but it's basically a series of anecdotes." Iacocca's book has enjoyed a comfor- table spot at the top of The New York Times best seller list since its release. The Detroit Free Press found in a sur- vey of area stores that the story is the best seller of all non-fiction books. Local dealers expect the book to remain a popular buy through next Christmas. Whether the interest stirred up over March of Dimes BIRTH DEFECTS FOUNDATION SAVES BABIES HELP FIGHT BIRTH DEFECTS the book will spread, however, remains to be seen. Not everyone on campus has even heard of it. When asked whether she had read the book, one student, who asked to remain anonymous, said, "No, I don't think so. What's it about?" MERCURY'S .

Security benefits face possible freeze WASHINGTON (AP) - In com- parison with some of the cuts President Reagan has proposed in his new budget, the once-unthinkable idea of freezing Social Security benefits for a year looks positively appealing to a growing num- ber of members of Congress. That same list of politically painful cuts - including elimination of revenue sharing, federal subsidies to mass tran- sit and the Job Corps - makes the president's $30 billion defense spending increase an even more irresistible target for the deficit-cutters in Congress. Thatwas the irony of the $973.7 billion budget the president delivered to Congress last week for the 1986 fiscal year. He called for another large in- stallment in his defense buildup and a deficit-reduction program financed almost entirely with cuts in domestic programs. But the result will be a bipartisan assault in Congress on his Pentagon buildup and almost certainly a major effort to eliminate next year's Social Security cost-of-living incease. The delivery of the president's budget marked the formal beginning of the budget-writing exercise that will oc- cupy a large amount of Congress' timie for the next several months. And many congressional leaders say most lawmakers have only recently begun to understand that freezing all the gover- nment's programs - a politically ap- pealing solution - would still fail to meet the president's goal of $50 billion in deficit cuts. But that $50 billion goal has been generally accepted by Republican leaders in the Senate, and the mark of House Budget Committee Chairman William Gray of Pennsylvania is only slightly lower, which means Congress will spend the next several months arguing about what cuts to make to meet the target. Senate GOP leaders began their deficit-cutting effort even before the president's budget was formally sub- mitted, hoping to get the tough votes out of the way early for the sake of the 22 Republicans who face re-election next year. Already, they have decided that many of the president's proposed domestic cuts are unacceptable. As a result, the Republicans in the Senate Finance Committee have already decided the one-year freeze in Social Security benefits will be part of any deficit-reduction package that ceived as part of a program of "shared sacrifice." While there are Democrats who have said they would vote to freeze Social Security benefits, none of the party's leaders has yet stepped forward to ad- vocate it. But House Speaker Thomas O'Neill of Massachusetts and Gray have made it clear the subject is "on the table," even though other party leaders talk of helping Reagan "keep his promise" made during last year's campaign not to change the benefits. The president's position is unclear, his campaign pledge aside. He told a news conference after his re-election he would "look" at whatever Congress sent him on Social Security, and made no mention of the program in his State of the Union speech. * WEEKLY SPECIALS WHITE MARKET * COLUMBO YOGURT 8oz.cup 2for$ .89 * NABISCO PARTY GRAHAMS * or *STRIPED SHORTBREAD COOKIESy * $1.19 * 609 E.
