Hornets, Dundee Tied
For Second Place Slot
In Ca^e Competition
AND NOW "THE ILLUSIONS"
Saline is tied with Dundee
for second place in the league
after the Hornets defeated
South Lyon Friday, 76-68, in
a pretty tight game.
Saline's offensive effort
was great, with four players
in double figures: Dave Far-
rell, Fred Franz, Garry Ferguson and Art Haeussler.
Saline hit on 46 per cent
of its shots. They came out
on top because of superior
rebounding. South Lyon was
hot at the free throw line,
hitting on 24 out of 27 attempts, and the Lions made
49 per. cent of their field goal
shots.
The game was broken open
in the closing moments of
the third quarter when an
effective press allowed the
Hornets to take an eight-
point lead, which they were
able to maintain throughout
the fourth quarter.
- Jack Starling was floor
leader, directing the attack.
He made a couple of steals
in the press and led the team

Katie Esch is one of five

University who competed in
a talent show Tuesday night
at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti.
Her skit brought down the
house.
Katie, the daughter of the
Everett Esches of 339 Pond
View, presented a skit representing her progress on the
piano and played three selections from "The Sound' of
Music," on the organ, her
first love. Katie's skit began
with the elementary chopsticks, advanced to a boogie
woogie number which she enjoys, and was climaxed by a
selection from Bach.
An Alpha Delta Phi fraternity brother of Mike John-
s o n narrated Katie's skit.
Mike is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Johnson of Saline. This is the group which
sponsored Katie for the Sno-

in competition with 29. Those

Jayvees Hold
Solid Grip
On 2nd Place
A jayvee victory here Friday knocked South Lyon out
of second place in the league
standings and left the little
Hornets with a fairly strong
grip on that spot.
Said Coach Bradley: "The
worst that could happen now
is that we could tie for second, if we lose and South
Lyon beats Dundee." But, he
mused, "It could happen."
Dundee has an unchallenged hold on first place with
eight wins and one loss; the
Vikings accumulated their
most recent victory in a triple-overtime at Dexter Friday. Saline has six and three.
South Lyon now stands 5-4;
Chelsea, 3-6;- Lincoln, 3-6;
and Dexter, 2-7.
Saline outscored South Lyon in the first three quarters
of Friday night's game; the
Lions roared back in the
-fourth quarter tb"*-t__t__core'
the Hornets 20 to 13 . . . but
it wasn't enough. The final
score was 51-48 for Saline.
Leading Hornet scorer was
Tom Burr, with 12 points.
Mike Farrell accumulated 10
points and outdid himself by
grabbing 18 rebounds. Chuck
Wahl picked up 10 rebounds
. . . but, overall, South Lyon
snatched more rebounds, a
total of 51 to Saline's 46.
Saline hit 19 of 50 shots,
for 38 per cent, as compared
with South Lyon's 23 per
cent. From the foul line, both
teams hit the same percentage, 46 . . . but the Lions
had only 22 tries to Saline's
28. • '

FEW VOTE
IN PRIMARY
ELECTION
Saline area voters apparently couldn't care, or didn't
remember, that there was an
election Monday.
In one of the lightest voter
turnouts in memory, about
six per cent of them went to
the polls in the township's,
and the city' drew a four per
cent turnout.
The pattern was evident
throughout the county, with
a total vote only a little over
8,000. A handy winner in the
primary election for the Probate judgeship was Ross
Campbell, Ann Arbor attorney, who will be opposed in
the April special election by
Rodney Hutchinson of Ypsilanti. Third candidate, William Dannemiller, was eliminated by the primary election.
In Saline, with only 77 voting (where 1,653 are registered-;.^ iG____p_e}Jr d'fsw^^
votes to Hutchinson's 16 and
Dannemiller's two.
Voters in all the surrounding- townships followed the
same sequence in their choices .. . but there weren't very
many voters. In Saline Township, 21 of 340 registered electors went to the polls, and
the vote was tabulated 20
minutes after the closing of
the polls. In Lodi Township,
where 750 are registered, only 41 showed up.
Pittsfield Township, which
has 2,200 registered voters,
managed a six per cent turnout of 140 people; in York,
111 voted, though 2,300 are
registered.
Election officials blamed
the poor turnout variously
on bad roads, short notice,
lack of "fanfare", and lack
of any local issue.
One of Saline area's burgeoning bands is The Illusions, who are also breaking into the composing field
. . . with their own number "Runabout". They star Doug
Kivi on piano and organ; Jeff Lewis, guitar; Dwight
Furbush, drum and bongos; and Kevin Kraushaar, guitar and vocal. The combo is a huge success despite the
fact that its members sport short hair.
Rotary Club
Sends Fund
To S.S. HOPE
The Saline Rotary Club
has voted a donation of $200
to S.S. HOPE, a sea-going
People-to-People medical teaching and treatment program.
Rotary has contributed
previously to the project,
which, since its inception in
1S58, has treated more than
45,000 patients in half a dozen countries. The ship is a
self-sufficient floating medical teaching center equipped
with 230 hospital beds, class
and demonstration rooms,
and laboratories. It has spent
time in Indonesia, Viet Nam,
Peru, and Ecuador, and is
now en route for Colombia.

sources of funds are state
aid and penal fines, some
fines from overdue books,
and about $95 a year from
the Unterkircher estate. This
year the Library received a
special gift from the United
Fund, $6,250.
The budget for the 1967-

Becky Ealy, a senior at

D.A.K. Good Citizenship
A w a r d;, Presentation was
made at a dinner Thursday
in Ann Arbor. The ___nual
award is based on citizenship,
patriotism, leadership, and
scholarship.
Margaret McNally's government class this week discussed the 25th amendment
to the Constitution, which
provides for the succession
of the Vice President in the
event of the President's illness, and also for the appointment of a Vice President (in the event that there
is none) by the President,
with the consent of Congress.
Some of. their comments::
Garry Morton: "The one
main factor against the 25th
is that of the President appointing his Vice President.
I believe the Vice President
should be elected by popular opinion in the United
States. My reason is that . . .
if the President is not administering well, the Vice President would help to counteract and present new ideas."
He explained further that although the two might work
together harmoniously, if the
"President appoints the Vice
President, they both can end
up going harmoniously the
wrong way".
Janet Haab agrees with the
amendment because: "A. government as powerful as the
U.S. needs an able pel-son in
control at all times, which
wouldn't be true if the President is sick enough to be in
a hospital."
Bill Hunt is th__nkful that
"there will no longer be a
time when our country is
without an able .leader" . ._.
which is what Linda Struble
"had in mind when she referred to President Wilson's
stroke which left the country
wondering   "who  had  th)e
power". She said, "It would
give me a more secure feeling to know a capable person is ready to take over in
case of a severe illness."
John Mann disagrees. He
feels the amendment was
superfluous since "we have
operated for 178 years without this and have not needed
it . . ."
Jim Carman points to another angle. He said the decisions made by the President are "partially influenced
by his health and when he
is in bad -health, his judgment may be defective".
Wendy Livingstone, agreeing with the majority in the
ciass, pointed out: "This amendment provides for anything that could happen."
Barb Goltz adds that the President's replacement "shouldn't try changing the policy
unless approved by the President".
Ed Parker sees the 25th as
an elimination of "loopholes
in our line - of - succession
laws". He mentioned the time
when President Eisenhower
had a heart attack and Nixon
did not have the power to
m a k e "important Presidential decisions".
Penny Ford speaks of the
way in which the amendment
discharges the President of
his duties in case of disability, "something .hitherto
practically unthought of in
the U.S." and sums up the
feeling in general that the
25th "shows forethought and
a 'be prepared' note on be^
half of the legislators and
the people".
