Coach Paulsen’s Jacks have had a long year, finishing with a record of 7 wins and 19 losses, ACC’s worst season since 1970-71. The Jacks, who started the game on a low note, gave Lake Michigan a scare, going ahead by as much as five points. The Jacks lead at the half 24-23. ACC played well, but “were not consistent, and with the aid of Jon Gaunder's nine long bas- Mark Mohre was the only other Jack in double figures with 12.

Officers of the U.P.V. were contacted but re- fused to comment and several attempts were made to contact their spokesperson; however, she could not be reached for comment. In. an_interview,: Arbuckle* re- sponded that “no deficit existed at. the end of the last school year,’” and that confusion arises from “the fact that we used what is called a fund equity, similar to a savings account. We: used excess revenue from previous years.” According to Arbuckle, the major issue underlining the recall is the transportation cut. ‘One past board can’t bind another.” Negotia- tions are “subject to change as con- ditions change. We're under a differ- ent set of rules now. The state has cut our funding. We've cut staffing and programs to stay within spend- ing limitations. | could not justify further program cuts (to compen- sate) for busing.” Responding to the U-P.V.'s of mi of the busing contract, Arbuckle stated, “Myself as a board member did those things reasonable and prudent in reviewing the busing contract. We have individuals that research these contracts for us. When we became aware of the problem we tried to renegotiate the contract, but could not meet their demands of guaranteed employ- ment.” Arbuckle went on to say. that “replacing any board member does not solve the problem, the problem is still going to be there.” Another ballot question com- mittee, the Concerned Citizens for Better Education, disagree with the recall effort, according to co-chair- person Bob Monroe. “We do not support the recall. To promote bet- ter education and increase educa- tional opportunity, we have to maintain the present board due to "their experience...utter chaos will” result if the recall is successful.” Monroe also stated that the object- ive of Concerned Citizens is “‘to promote better education and end the deviciveness which is destruc- tive to the fabric of the community +.we would eventually like to work with U.P.V. on some of the issues.’”’ State law Haag that if any of re recalled, & pla se those board members, ould a majority of the school board members be recalled, the Governor will appoint replacements to serve during the interim. {f a minority are recalled, the remaining board members will make the appoint- ments. { Continued from page one ) Already on display at the mus- eum is a traveling exhibition of — captivating sculpture called “The Influence of Paris: European and American Sculpture 1830-1930.” Presented by the Detroit Insti- — tute of Arts Statewide Service Pro- gram, the show includes 25 figur- ative sculptures.
