Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, August 2, 1983 Judge won't drop suit against Carson LOS ANGELES (UPI) - A federal judge yesterday refused to dismiss a $70 million lawsuit against "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson and his lawyer over alleged irregularities when they were on the board of directors of a bank that failed. "There are just too many questions of fact to be answered," U.S. District Court Judge Laughlin Waters said in refusing to dismiss the action. The suit, brought by two of the bank's former directors, concerns allegations of irregularities in the operation of the Commercial Bank of California, based in West Hollywood. Carson and his attorney, Henry Bushkin, served on the board of direc- tors before the bank was put into receivership in May because of its precarious financial condition. The bank re-opened in June under new ownership. The suit alleges that Bushkin violated parts of the "racketeer Influenced and Corrup Organizations Act" and that an organized crime figure was involved in the alleged irregularities. The suit said that Bushkin violated the racketeering act by using the bank to "further the interests of persons engaged in organized criminal ac- tivities" and to arrange loans with "known underworld figures." Carson was not tied to any of the racketeering charges, but Michael Miller and Arthur Kopelson, said the television talk show host had not lived up to various agreements. Freshmen wiser, more elite (Continued from Page 1) iversity is not sacrificing quality while it cuts back. "THE FACT that the quality of the student body is being maintained and even increased, in a time of increasing competition for the most highly qualified students, is evidence of the University's strong commitment to in- stitutional excellence in a time of limited resources," Frye said. "The rise in SAT scores for incoming freshmen indicates that the University has maintained academic quality despite the budget cuts," added Sjogren. Fewer incoming freshmen, however, rank in the top of their high school classes, Sjogren said. On the average this year's incoming freshmen graduated in the top 9 percent of their high school class. Last year, the average freshman graduated in the top 8 percent. THIS DECREASE isn't significant, according to Sjogren, because students are coming from top high schools nationwide, and it is tougher for them to rank at the top against so many other highly-qualified students. Nationally, SAT scores went up about two points for the first time ina decade. This year's incoming engineering students are "awesome" according to Sjogren. The average math SAT scores jumped 80 points to about 700, verbal scores stayed the same for incoming engineering freshmen, Sjogren said. Read and Use Daily Class if ieds TODAY Think ugly BARTENDERS IN Houston are saying "Ugly is as ugly does" this month, as they don strange make-up, fake noses, and awful clothing in efforts to win the "Ugliest Bartender Contest." The Houston chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society has equipped 160 bartenders across the city with "ugly kits" for the contest, set to begin today and last three weeks. The kits include T-shirts, posters, and buttons that sport the slogans, "Let's Get Ugly" and "Think Ugly." "Everybody has a beauty contest. This is much more original and unusual idea," said Vicki Uchida, executive director of the chapter, one of about 100 that will be host of the contest this year. "the bar- tenders don't necessarily have to be physically ugly," she said. "there are lots of things they can do to make themselves look ugly." Bar patrons cast votes for the ugliest at 25 cents a shot. HAPPENINGS TUESDAY Meetings His House Christian Fellowship - Fellowship and Bible study, 7:30 p.m., 925 E. Ann.
