The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, July 15, 1980-Page5 Special interest groups take an interest in GOP convention By MAUREEN FLEMING SpecialtoTheDaily DETROIT-"We got the worst blues anyone's gonna have-we got the GOP blues," sang the Monster Slayer Band yesterday at a rally sponsored by the Citizens Reacting to a Sick Society. The 5:30 p.m. rally, held at Kennedy Square as the Republican National Convention proceeded just a few blocks away, featured several hundred in- dividuals representing a menagerie of special interests-some serious, some off-the-wall, but all with a message.

Men who take campaign contributions from Phyllis Schafly and bosses who sexually harrass their female em- ployees are too, Frank added. RETHA HILL, FROM the Detroit chapter of the Committee Against Registration and the Draft, said that Reagan may now be opposed to registration and the draft, but as soonas be gets into office, be will not only be for the draft but also for nuclear war.
