CAPTURE OF WHITE HOUSE INSUFFICIENT
GOP wants Congress, too

a

DETROIT (AP) - For ,many
Republicans, recapturing the White:
House won't bring total satisfaction.
They want Congress, too.
The GOP is orchestrating a nation-
wide, multi-million dollar campaign to
overtake the quarter-century
Democratic control of Capital Hill.
"IT'S FINE if there's a 'throw 'em
out' mentality in the country," says
Rep. Guy Vander Jagt, chairman of the
Republican Campaign Committee.
"Because there's more of them to
throw out than us."
It seems unlikely the Republicans
can eliminate the Democratic
majorities, but Democratic incumbents
are taking the GOP campaign
seriously, most are now back in their
districts, taking advantage of the
current congressional recess to prepare
for the fall campaign.
Republicans are massing behind
Ronald Reagan and his call for an im-
mediate tax cut to press their attempt
to pick up seats in both chambers of
Congress.
"IT'S DOWNRIGHT dangerous to be
a Democratic incumbent," gloats Sen.
John Heinz (R-Pa.), chairman of the
Republican Senatorial Committee.
That unit's goal is to elect more
Republicans to the Senate. And itseems
to have its best shot in years because of
the 34 Senate seats up in November, 24
are Democratic. Thus, the Republicans
have less to lose and far more to gain
than their Democratic colleagues.
Vander Jagt's committee - the
House counterpart of Heinz' panel -
will spend close to $2 million this year
helping 220 GOP incumbents and
challengers. Most will receive $8,000
from the committee.

MOREOVER, THE Republicans
have embarked on a $7 billion television
and radio advertising campaign urging
voters to throw Democrats out of
Congress and "vote Republican for a
change."
There are now 41 Republicans in the
100-member Senate, meaning a net gain
of 10 would be needed to swing control.
Heinz's campaign panel expects to
hand out $5.5 million to Senate can-
didates this year - a big increase from
the $3.2 million it spent in 1978. And,
while all GOP candidates will get some

"It's been sort of an ongoing thing,"
Hoey said. "I've been talking with the
skills center people off and on for some
time now."
HOEY SAID if the plan is implemen-
ted this fall and judged to be successful,
the department may expand the
program to include all University
athletes.
Reading and Learning Skills Center
Director Dr. Rowena Wilhelm said
many team members had previously
contacted the center for academic
assistance, but added the proposed
support system would offer "things that
would be useful" to a larger segment of
the team.
In previous years, Hoey said, the
football team relied on periodic
tutoring sessions for academic
assistance. The proposed program was

of the money, most will be used where
the races are perceived to be the closest
- as in Rep. Steven Symms drive to un-
seat Sen. Frank Church in Idaho; and
Rep. Charles Grassley's challenge of
Sen. John Culver in Iowa.
IN CALIFORNIA, Republican Paul
Gann says he expects to spend "a
minimum of $2.25 million" trying to un-
seat Alan Cranston, the Senate
Democratic whip.

the Republicans have targeted as the
most vulnerable - and against whom a

designed to provide a response "to an
acknowledged need" of many team
members for further, more meaningful
assistance, the reportstated.
"WE DON'T HAVE anything even
remotely close to the proposed
academic program, said Mary Homan,
a spokesman for the Ohio State Univer-
sity Athletic Department. "What we
have is a study table, where an athlete,
if he is falling behind in a class, can go
and receive help," he said.
Dale Meggas, a spokesman for the
NCAA, was equally surprised by the
scale on which the plan was being con-
sidered. "I've never heard of any
program like that," he said.
The University administration has
apparently decided to allow the athletic
department to develop the program
without outside interference. Alfred
Sussman, dean of the Rackham School
of Graduate Studies and former interim
vice-president for academic affairs,
said, "We don't normally enter into the
substance. of such negotiations unless
there is a problem."
SUSSMAN, HOWEVER, said the
program could be beneficial to all
athletes if it were "a total learning ex-

Republicans are riding the tax-cut

fairly."
"No single program can accomplish
all the things we need to do," Sussman
said. "(The team members) need a
total context where their special
problems are considered."
University President Harold Shapiro
said he had "no direct knowledge" the
program was being considered.
The program proposal states it-
recognizes "the outstanding and
dedicated student/athletes that
epitomize the University of Michigan
athletic program have had to absorb
and withstand unique pressures and
stresses, along with demands on their
time beginning early in their school ex-
periences."
"Asa result," the proposal continues,
"it is not always reasonable to expect
each to possess the same academic
skills as the non-athlete. That does not
mean student/athletes lack the same
potential or desire to achieve success of
the field as well as on. What it does
mean is that they often will need extra
assistance and instruction in improving
their academic skills.

THE PINK PANTHER
(Blake Edwards, 1964)
The life and times of that greatest of all French-detectives,
inspector Clouseau, first saw the light of day in this elaborate
jewel heist farce. The large cast includes David Niven. Claudia
Cardinale, Robert Wagner and Peter Sellers as the bumbling
inspector all under the nimble slapstick direction of Blake (10,
Breakfast at Tiffany's) Edwards. Score by Henri Mancini. Cinema-
scope (113 min) 7:30 only
A SHOT IN THE DARK
(Blake Edwards, 1964)
In this sequel to The Pink Panther Sellers makes a triumphant,
bumbling return as the, shrewd Inspector. Here Sellers has a
mystery on his hands, as well as Elke Sommer, as a French maid
accused of murdering her Spanish lover but apparently the only
one in the chateau who didn't. If you think that is confusing,
wait until you hear Clouseau explain it! The best of the Clouseau
series. Great fun. With George Sanders and Herbert Lom.
