...also running for re-election as the city's only Republican alderman. He was beaten, in part because the machine made a special point of turning out votes for his opponent, Eugene C. Schulter, 27, a real estate appraiser and protégé of the Democratic ward committeeman. Afterward, Hoellen considered dropping out of the race against Daley. Said the Republican: "If I can't be elected alderman of the 47th Ward, it's impossible for me to be elected mayor." He called Daley's victory "the ultimate in precinct power. They could have elected...
...such maneuverings, and the town's benumbing poverty (more than half the population qualifies for food stamps), it is not surprising that the East St. Louis schools are a disaster. "At least half the buildings are antiquated," says School Superintendent William Mason, who is also a Democratic precinct committeeman. The tax base is shrinking, and the district faces a $4 million deficit by the end of the year. Teachers (who have walked out on strike five times in the past ten years) are working without a contract. Almost all the district's 23,000 pupils are black; many...
...eloquent reminder of recurring campus politics at Texas, the second richest (after Harvard) and fifth largest university (73,000 students) in the nation.

Rockefeller topped the Governors' list, while George Bush, the G.O.P. national chairman, led among Congressmen and state officials. With the support of G.O.P. conservatives, Richard L. Herman, Nebraska committeeman, opened a drive for Bush. But Ford noted that Rockefeller had not been given a thumbs-down by any group polled. Along with Laird, two other Ford intimates, Michigan Senator Robert Griffin and Presidential Adviser Bryce Harlow, supported Rockefeller-and so did Henry Kissinger...
William Banowsky, 38, president of Pepperdine College since 1971 and a conservative Republican, won his Ph.D. in communications at U.S.C., served as G.O.P. county chairman for Los Angeles during President Nixon's 1972 campaign, and was named state Republican national committeeman in May 1973. Offered financial support for a gubernatorial campaign this year, he surveyed the crowded field and declined. Instead, he increased his political visibility as host of a local TV talk show and columnist for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner...
