I have a wife at home who I much." He explained the pay-off is after the event is over, "When you see it on TV and it looks pretty, that's us." Though low in a campaign's chain of command, the men and women who plan events are irreplaceable. With the constant pressure of having to reach large numbers of voters in short periods of time, candidates rely on their ad- vance staff to make each campaign stop rewarding. It is vital to make a good im- pression on supporters and the local media. SOME OF the more experienced ad- vance workers get paid up to $80 a day, but most work as volunteers. Paven, who left a higher paying desk job to work advance, said "you have to love it, nobody's in it for the money." Federal election rules inadvertently en- courage the campaigns to keep their ad- vance people moving. There are strict limitations on how much candidates can spend in each state if they want to stay eli- gible for federal matching funds. But, if a staff member stays in a state for four days or fewer, the expenses are billed to the na- tional campaign and don't count towards the state limit.. Mike Nooney, who worked advance for Rep. Richard Gephardt's speech at the Uni- versity's Law School earlier this week, ex- plained the general order of business: "First you get in touch with local contacts... state officials or organizations that support your candidate. They help put the thing together. Then you start looking for a place to have the event." THIS TIME, the site was picked be- tglobry cause Gephardt is a graduate of the law school. Paven said a good advance person takes proper care of the press, including hotel reservations, transporting their luggage, and finding out where local restaurants and bars can be found. He said, "We want to keep the press happy. It's the little stuff that makes (their) life easier." Then there is the inevitable search for an American flag and community members to be carefully positioned around the candidate when he addresses his supporters. All this while dealing with the Secret Service agents who call the shots concerning the candidate's safety - where he can walk and when he can shake hands. See Campaign, Page 2 M' takes two from Grand Valley By MICHAEL SALINSKY Baseball returned to Ann Arbor yesterday in the form of the Wolver- ines and the result was a happy one for the expectant home fans - a doubleheader sweep over Grand Val- ley State. Michigan edged the visitors in.the opener, 6-3, before taking a laugher in the nightcap, 12-2. The Wolverines' top two starters, Jim Abbott and Mike Ignasiak, both grabbed wins against Grand Valley, but that was the end of the similari- ties between the two performances. Abbott, last year's Golden Spikes Award recipient, was shaky in the first game, though earning his sec- ond win. With Michigan up by two in the third, Abbott gave up two runs. The junior southpaw walked two in the inning, and both scored on leftfielder Tim Smith's single. He had trouble getting his curveball over, possibly owing to the very cold conditions. "Abbott did not throw up to his capabilities," said Michigan coach Bud Middaugh. Ignasiak, in contrast, was razor See Baseball, Page 7 Civil rights veto fails in Congress Pr te tng p rc lDaily Photo by ROBINLZAK A pig's head in a garbage bag and a campaign poster rest on the doorstep of the President's house yesterday after two unidentified men placed the items there.

A 73-24 vote in the Senate, fol- lowed by a 292-133 tally in the House, handed Reagan a severe poli- tical defeat and reversed a 1984 Su- preme Court decision that sharply restricted the reach of four anti- discrimination statutes. The votes in both chambers ex- ceeded the two-thirds majority needed to enact a law over a presidential veto. It was the ninth time Congress had rejected a Reagan veto. Two Michigan Republicans, Reps. Bill Schuette of Sanford and Robert Davis of Gaylord were among 52 House Republicans voting to re- verse the president's veto. Schuette, a conservative, said his party "must be for civil rights for, Blacks, the elderly, the handicapped, ..:.::":. ....:....:...":.-.-."..-:."::.".":.":::::.".:.".":..". .".v."rr."rrv:::::::::::: c.".". ::.". :.".: 'U' pres. may be selected in 6-8 weeks By STEVE KNOPPER A new University President may be selected in the next six to eight weeks, a member of the University's Board of Regents said yesterday. Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey) said in an interview that the regents narrowed a list of candidates to fewer than 20 about two weeks ago and have begun contacting the finalists. The regents and members of their three search advisory committees, however, have refused to divulge the names of the candidates. Upon being contacted, candidates may ask the re- gents to make their names public, but most are likely to prefer privacy, Brown said. Harris McClamroch, chair of the Senate Advisory Committee on Uni- versity Affairs, said the regents' decision is not pressing. "I don't think there's any value in trying to move (the search) along," he said. "We're talking about someone who's going to be president for a long time." SACUA is the faculty assem- bly's leadership committee and not one of the regents' advisory commit- tee. Regents and search committee members have said the search is pro- gressing as planned. "Based on other searches, it's about typical," said Thomas Kauper, chair of the faculty search advisory committee. "Rather than shoot for a deadline, we'll let the pace go as it does." Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Ar- bor) said the search is "proceeding orderly and in a rational and coherent way. It's better to be right than fast." The search began last May when former University President Harold Shapiro accepted the presidency of Princeton University. In January, former president Robben Fleming temporarily reassumed office until the new president takes office. Fleming, who has no official ju- risdiction over the search process,. said the regents told him to stay in office at least until July 1, and no later than Sept. 1. In a speech two weeks ago, Fleming said he expected the board to choose a new president in the next four to six weeks. "The goal is. to have a new presi- See Search, Page 2 women, minorities." The White House pledged to en- force the new law, which Reagan had called a federal "power grab." "We presented an alternative civil rights act which stated the president's strong views against discrimination in this country," a White House statement said. "The Congress chose to override the president's veto. We will work to implement the new law." "People who voluntarily take fed- eral funds have an obligation to treat everybody else fairly," said Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass), summing up the rationale of lawmakers who have been pressing for the Civil Rights Restoration Act since the high court ruling. The court said only specific pro- grams or activities receiving federal aid had to comply with four major civil rights laws.

Ecpse jazz program By SHEALA DURANT A bank of ringing phones shakes Sam Kaufman's office, but the co- coordinator of Eclipse jazz stays calm and easygoing. The noise doesn't disturb his breakfast of a donut and a cup of coffee. As co-coordinator of the non- profit volunteer organization dedi- cated to bringing jazz to the Ann Ar- bor area, Kaufman's responsibilities include organizing the group's nearly 40 volunteers and to "make sure that things get done." IN ADDITION, Kaufman books an average of five to seven shows during each Eclipse season, which spans fall and winter terms. donuts, and refunds. KAUFMAN'S interest in jazz was sparked by drum lessons he took as a child. After becoming bored with playing rock and roll, he joined a jazz band at Cranbrook High School in Bloomfield Hills, and spent his ju- nior and senior years as its drummer. Originally from Huntington involved with Eclipse at the sugges- tion of a roommate. He said he was impressed that Eclipse Jazz presented, promoted and produced concerts. While in Texas, Kaufman said his favorite jazz artists included Charlie Parker and John Coletrane, Pat Metheny, and old Yello Jackets. BUT HE SAID, "When I joined Eclipse, I all of the sudden got bored with a lot of that music because I re- alized what other incredible music there was out there that was much more from the heart. "I can run right down our season and tell you I love every concert. Dewey Redmon, Lester Bowie, Jane Ira Bloom, Ahmad Jamal, I mean Profile Woods, Kaufman, continued to meet other people interested in jazz: "I went over to a friend's house and he started to put on (jazz) records and I ..r ,MS-..... .
