Bullard, Pollack beat GOP challengers
By STEVE BLONDER
and MICHAEL LUSTIG
State Democratic incumbents
Sen. Lana Pollack and Rep. Perry
Bullard kept their seats in the
Michigan Senate and House both
with a margin of about two-to-one,
as of 1 a.m. this morning. Pollack
defeated Dale Apley, and Bullard
beat challenger Vic Holtz.
With 55% of the vote counted in
thel8th District, which includes all
of Washtenaw County, Pollack had
22,496 or 66% of votes cast. Apley
had 11,762 votes or 34%. Pollack
was winning, a much higher
percentage of votes cast in Ann
Arbor and other areas of her district.
"I'M REAL pleased with the
news. Considering I had 51% four
years ago, it is good," Pollack said.
An enthusiastic supporter of
James Blanchard, Pollack described
the governor's win as one of
"historic proportions," adding that
"Michigan voters won't settle for
cut-rate education."
Pollack has put much effort into
helping the University during her
term in the Senate. She has tried to.
meet all the University's
appropriations requests while
aiming to keep tuition down.
H OLTZ, who had 7,616 votes
or 33%, conceded his loss to
Pollack by saying: "The major
reason I ran is the fact that Perry
Bullard has gone without serious
competition for the past 12 years.
When that happens an official loses
his accountability to his
constituents, also people lose touch
with the way in which he is voting
in the state legislature.
"The two factors that hurt me
was the landslide by Blanchard and
Baker mobilizing many of the Ann
Arbor residents. Right now the
question is what do we do in '88. I
am committed to the Republican
party to run against Bullard again in
1988. My campaign people
assembled and asked me tonight
'when do we meet again?"'
Bullard, who had 67% or
15,132 votes has also done much
work on the Univerity's behalf.
Some of his pending legislation
includes the Student's Bill of
Rights and a move to put a student
regent on the University Board of
Regents.
Bullard was unable to comment
last night because he is in Juigalpa,
Nicaragua visiting Ann Arbor's
new sister city.
Voters did a lot of ticket-
splitting when casting their ballots.
Republican candidate for governor,
William Lucas, was winning only
27% of votes cast, but Rep. Carl
Pursell was winning some
traditionally Republican districts by
more than a two to one margin over
Democratic challenger Dean Baker.
That, howeever, did not seem to
help Apley, who when he beat
Pollack in a precinct, usually did so
by a narrow margin.

... victorious over Apley
Incumbents favored in regents race
From staff and wire
reports
Governor James Blanchard said
last night the Democrats had carried
every regents seat in the state,
including incumbent University
regents Paul Brown(D-Petoskey)
and James Waters(D-Muskegon).
The race was still close at press
time, however. Brown and Waters
both led with 2 percent of the vote
counted, but Republican challenger
Cynthia Hudgins trailed Waters by
less than 1 percent.
Hudgins, an assistant to Rep.
Carl Pursell(R.-Mich.), said she
might consider running again if she
lost.
" I don't close any doors," she
said.
Hudgins said she will not give
up her position with Pursell if
elected, because the regents only
meet two daya every month.
Brown was leading with 19, 337
votes, Waters had 16, 797, Hudgins
had 16, 229 and Republican
candidate Gary Frink trailed with
15, 570.
165 of 6,832 precincts had
reported.
Dole concedes Senate control to Dems.
(Continued from Page 1)
one of a handful of vulnerable GOP
freshmen whose fate held the key to
Senate control. Still vulnerable as
the votes were being tallied were
freshman colleagues Mack
:Mattingly of Georgia, James
Abdnor of South Dakota, Mark
Andrews of North Dakota, Bob
Kasten of Wisconsin and James
Broyhill of North Carolina.
The Democrats were expected to
unseat the Republicans in North
Carolina and Georgia, according to
television networks.
Meanwhile, President Reagan
remained secluded as he watched last
night's election returns in the
White House, but spokesman
Larry Speakes denied that the
Democratic momentum in the
Senate race reflected poorly on the
President.
THE REAGAN'S,who had
voted by absentee ballot in
California, left Los Angeles
yesterday morning for the
homeward leg of the president's
24,839-mile campaign trek trying
to save the Senate for his
Republican Party.
Speakes called the Senate battle
"still very, very close" and refused
to predict any outcome and refused
as well to discuss the see-saw
returns in some of the states.

Pursell said he was at a
disadvantage in the election because
'Congress's three-week late
adjpurnment this year prevented him
from campaigning.
Pursell said the endorsement of
10 of .12 district newspapers helped
him, as did the endorsement of the
Michigan Farm Bureau.
Baker supporters were surprised
lent turiu
and encouraged by the closeness of
the race in the areas outside Ann
Arbor.
LSA senior Richard Bines, who
canvassed for Baker in Ann Arbor,
Livonia, and Jackson, said he was
initially skeptical about Baker's
chances.
"Now my opinion has changed,"
he said. "He has a chance."
Bines said he got a positive
rut helps
response while canvassing in the
areas outside Ann Arbor.
"People weren't saying they'll
vote for him, but they're willing to
read the literature," he said. Bines
said that was good because "the
main obstacle is ignorance."
Bines said Baker's election would
be a "clear rejection of Pursell, his
votes, and the fact that he doesn't
pay attention to his constituents" on
issues like social spending and aid
to the Nicaraguan Contras.
Even if aker loses, Bines said,
"it shows that Pursell better watch
out in the future and better listen to
his constituents in the future."
State College Republican
President Richard Tubbs was
surprised at Baker's showing.

Freshman Orientation
Nothing could have prepared me
for the first few moments with my
roommate. "Anique"-nothing more,
just "Anique"-was her name. Change
the 'A"to a "U" and you've got a
description.
When they asked what type of
roommate I wanted, I didn't know that
I needed to be more specific than non-
smoker. I could swear I saw a picture
of Anique on a postcard I got from
London. Within five minutes, I found
out that she was an Art History stu-
dent, into the Psychedelic Furs, and
totally, totally against the domesti-
cation of animals.
I was just about ready to put in
for a room transfer when she
reached into her leather
backpack, pulled out a
can of Suisse Mocha and
offered me a cup. Okay, I
decided I'd keep an open mind.
As we sipped our cups, I
found out that Anique and I share
the same fondness for Cary Grant
movies, the same disdain for wine
coolers, and the same ex-boyfriend.
That gave us plenty to talk about.
