Anderson
.R
campaign
sets up
shop here
By SARA ANSPACH
Amidst art fair crowds, street vendors and bargain
hunters, the unobtrusive headquarters for John An-
derson's campaign on N. First Ave. officially opened
shop yesterday.
In the small dingy room that will serve as the main
office for the independent candidate's campaign in
Washtenaw, Monore, and Lenawee counties, state
Campaign Coordinator Lorraine Beebe told reporters
that college students can make the difference in the
coming election.
"YOU CAN make the difference. And why shouldn't
you make the difference? It's your future," she said.
The office has already received phone calls from*
about six students interested in volunteering for the
campaign, according to the headquarter's volunteer
staff.
Beebe said the campaign's current main thrust is
to win three-tenths of one per cent of the vote in the
August fifth primary so Anderson's name can appear
on the November ballot.

THE STAFF WILL conduct a voter education
project to let Michigan residents know that to vote for
the Anderson Coalition Party in August means
sacrificing their vote in local Democratic and
Republican primaries.
Anderson will announce his vice-presidential can-
didate and platform sometime after the Democratic
Convention in New York, said Beebe. She said the
presidential candidate may visit Michigan sometime
around the first of August-directly prior to the
state's primary.
Anderson will need approximately 5,000 votes if his
name is to be placed on the November ballot. "I
always run a little scared," said Beebe, although she
added the campaign hopes to get many more than
5,000 votes in August.
Ann Arbor is a key area for Anderson support, said
Beebe. When signatures were collected last spring to
get Anderson's name on the August primary ballot,
Ann Arbor residents contributed more than residents
from any other part of the state, she said.

Whether they came from Ann Arbor
or elsewhere, most persons interviewed
yesterday on the opening day of the Art
Fair had positive things to say about
the event.
"The fair looks more extensive than
it did last year," said Toledo resident
Marcia Kirsher.
"I ALWAYS have a good time, and
this is my tenth Art Fair visit," said
University alumnus Bill Nevers, now a
Detroit-area resident. "It looks more
crowded than it did last year on the first
day."
State Street area artists felt that
business was going well. John White of
the Ann Arbor Photography Club was
busy selling photographs of the campus
in front of Quarry Photo on State St.
"The big sellers so far have been pic-
tures of the football stadium and the
Law School library.
"Business is better than last year,"
he continued, "but that may be because
after three years of experience, people
in the club are getting better at picking
out display pictures that people are at-
tracted to."
"EARRINGS AND rings are the big
sellers here," said Julie Hennessy, who
was minding a jewelry booth on South
Main St.
Graduate student Bob Lieberman
said he has a strategy for finding good
deals at the Art Fair. "Buy clothes on
the first day of the Fair, when you have
the best selection," he suggested, "and
buy the art on Saturday when merchan-
ts are pricing down to get rid of
everything."
Lieberman has been attending the
Art Fair since he was ten years old. "I
remember when it was only two blocks
on State Street and two on South
University, and there was no art, only
sales," he said. "It's certainly grown
since then."
REFRESHMENT and food vendors
were doing a brisk business. Spinach
pies and baklava were big sellers at the
Wolverine Den booth on South Univer-
