Vondsr what he's thinking about or r jt or joo United Press International SAN FRANCISCO Publisher Randolph A. Hearst said Monday arrangements have been made for distribution of $2 million worth of food for the poor and the needy in an effort to obtain freedom of his kidnaped daughter, Patricia. Before a mass of TV cameras and reporters, Hearst said, almost too softly to be heard, $500,000 of the $2 million would come from his own personal funds. He said ,$1.5 million would come from the Hearst Foundation. Hearst gave no details of the food program, arid said they could be worked out by a charitable organization approved by the state attorney general. The money will be available Tuesday, Hearst said, but he added Weather TODAY: Cloudy and warm with a chance of showers. The high is expected in the upper CO's. The low is expected in the 40's. The chance of precipitation is 40 per cent today, 50 per cent tonight. Outlook: Cloudy and mild.

"I was tired from traveling and I didn't know if I could get the record," said Waldrop, a University of North Carolina athlete. Waldrop, who had run five sub-four minute miles on the indoor circuit prior to his appearance here, blazed to a 3:55.0, breaking the old mark of 3:55.4, first set 10 years ago by Tom O'Hara of Chicago Loyola and equaled in 1971 by Jim Ryun. Waldrop ran behind Greg Gibson's 59.4 pace in the first quarter, overtaking the field during the third quarter. He finished with a 56-flat final quarter. Wilson Waigwa of Kenya finished second at 3:57.2 and Gibson was third in 3:59.1. I J , yvy v..,,;. - ysssssrss.. : y. v . children around him play on a recent cool what he's watching.

It's up to them (the SLA) to believe me and hopefully make a gesture of their own." The Symbionese Liberation Army, which claims to hold the girl, had demanded that a massive food program, costing perhaps $400 million, begin no later than Tuesday as a "gesture of good faith" in negotiations for Patricia's liberty. Hearst had responded that this demand was impossible to meet but that he would do the best he could. Hearst made his announcement after five hours of meetings in a downtown San Francisco hotel, mainly with leaders of the American Indian Movement, one of a dozen activist groups which the SLA had said should supervise a food giveaway program. To further demonstrate good faith, the publisher named William K. Coblentz, a San Francisco lawyer, to act as the Hearst family's representative to assure that Joseph Remiro and Russell Little, tw6 SLA members now in custody on murder charges, receive a fair trial. Hearst said the American Indian Movement has been "very helpful" and that he found AIM leader Dennis Banks "an interesting man and a decent man." s okays filed the complaint. Lindsey Wrenn, Granville Elections Board chairman, presented the motion in Supreme Court demanding the injunction be lifted. The motion was made on the ground that . the court did not have jurisdiction in the matter because campus elections laws do not supersede the rules set down by the Granville Elections Board.

Rick Harwood, elections chairman designate said Monday. The pseudonyms Mystery Politico and El Libre will not appear on the Feb. 27 election ballots, he said. Harwood said the decision was made in accordance with the section of campus elections laws which outline qualifications for holding office. According to the law, a candidate must be a registered, fee-paying student of UNC "in good standing." "To determine if he is qualified, we have to know who the person is," Harwood said. "Otherwise, anyone-could walk in and say I'm El Libre'," he said. "If we were to say 'come in now and give us your name, we would still have no proof," he added. The nominating procedure for candidacy. by Hanry Ferber Staff Writer The Campus Governing Council's power to appropriate student activities fees has been expanded to include the summer school budget. Student Body Treasurer Steve Jones said Monday. The move makes the. 1974-75 Student Government budget, which Jones said he plans to submit to the CGC before spring break, the first 12-month SG budget ever. Jones also said the proposed budget for next year will make it easier for the CGC to appropriate more money to groups for special projects later in the school year. The expanded budget, which will appropriate between $600,000 and $700,000, is .the result of SG negotiations with administration officials last summer, Jones said. "Pffoposed by Janet Langston Staff Writer Chapel Hill Transportation Director John E. Pappas proposed an increase in bus fares from 15 cents to 25 cents for the town's proposed bus route in a work session Thursday with the Board of Aldermen. The increase is to bring "revenue and expenses a little closer in line." and to avoid dipping into Chapel Hill's general fund, Pappas said. He said the estimated costs ofthe original operation compared with current costs would now put the town into a $350,000 to $400,000 deficit. This would use up rriuch of 10. per cent property valuation tax and the $350,000 to be collected through bonds. Pappas said he hopes that by reducing the number of hours the buses operate on the ground that Gaskill had failed to comply with the 96-hour deadline for filing complaints as specified in the Campus Elections Laws. Wrenn's motion also claimed that the irregularities in the election had "no material effect on the outcome of the election" and that Gaskill's suit is a "spurious one" intended to hinder the Granville Elections Board. Supreme Court Chief Justice David Crump said the court has jurisdiction in residence hall election cases, but said the tribunal of the Residence Hall Association (RH A) should rule on the merits of Gaskill's complaints. "It is our opinion that he (Gaskill) is entitled to have the merits of his complaint considered," Crump said, "but it is not our office to consider the merits," he said. The Governing Board of RHA was scheduled to meet Monday and appoint a tribunal to hear the case. Crump said the Supreme Court could issue a writ of mandamus directing RHA Chairwoman Janet Stephens to appoint the tribunal if the board failed to do so at its meeting. "I realize you've been laboring under an injunction for about a week," Crump .told .Wrenn. "I appreciate the dilemma you're in," he said. geu run-off aa)"i)(ssin as specified in the elections laws, also requires that a candidate must sign his own petition. Geoff Hulse and David Bruton, who said they are campaign managers for Mystery Politico, told the DTH they have a' legal document proving that "Mystery Politico" is the official nickname of a student who meets all the requirements for candidacy. The document, which they said is signed by the student body secretary and legally notarized, contains the real name of the candidate and his student I.D. number, they said. "I,think the Elections Board is trying to edge us out," Hulse said. "We represent a .serious and real threat to the other candidates," he said. "If our candidate's real name were released, the candidate would be harrassed," Bruton said. A student who called himself El Libre reacted with outrage at the ruling. "They (the Elections Board) are running dogs that hope to keep the voice of the The negotiations were carried out by Jones, Student Body President Ford Runge, and Dick Baker, last year's CGC Finance Committee chairman, with Vice Chancellor Claiborne Jones, and Deans Donald Boulton and James O. Cansler. Jones said. In previous years, Jones said, summer .activities funds were appropriated by the Summer Program Planning Council, consisting of four heads of administrative departments and two student representatives. Janes said the 12-month budget will end' complications some student organizations have experienced working out of two budgets A major change in the new budget is a revised contingency fund to allow easy appropriations for special projects, Jones said. The new fund will provide block grants for such projects as last week's Women's buns tf&Fes Sunday nights, increasing fares on the town routes and holding the number of operating buses at 17. that the town will not have such a high deficit. He would like to use eight-and-one-half per cent of the property valuation tax, and leave the remaining one-and-one-half per cent as a cushion for any unforeseen conditions which may arise once the system is operating, Pappas said. The town has backed off from the idea of immediately submitting a supplemental federal grant for capital construction in its mass transit system, Pappas said.

Jones said the contingency fund will also prevent the tying up of funds in programs that are only tentative when the SG budget is drawn up the year before the event. He said users of the fund must have specific requests outlined. Jones said other major requests to be made in the budget include: At least $5,000 to further the Residence Unit Grant and Loan Fund. An appropriation for student-faculty mixers in summer school. j- $5,000 for a teacher-course evaluation. which is to be matched by $10,000 from anonymous sources. Jones said he is encouraging groups that want student activities fund aid next year to contact him in Suite C of the Union. ransed to Chapel Hill prefers to see what Carrboro does concerning a November transportation referendum. If Carrboro holds a referendum and decides to use Chapel Hill's service, Pappas said, the Town would have to consider Carrboro's additional needs and rearrange routes and bus schedules to expand the service area. Pappas said that the Town should be moving forward with a supplemental grant application to the Urban Mass Transit Administration next fall, especially if 'bund get - triLiit action drooped. Morgan had filed antitrust action alleging illegal tie-in arrangements in gasoline sales by some Chapel Hill stations.
