Ztggf/’ creator campaigns to begin week on Mondays “people are used to having the calen dars start on a Sunday.” “But changing it to Mondays is more in keeping with people’s life styles,” he said. “People start the work week on Mondays.” The creator of the 8-year-old strip said calendar-makers told him even if the week was changed, the new calendar couldn’t go into effect until at least 1981. “Any time you challenge tradi tion, you’re in for it,’ Wilson said. “But this is a case where tradition is entirely wrong.” United Press International NEW YORK — The creator of the Ziggy cartoon strip is waging a |ne-man battle to change calendars ) they begin on a Monday instead of I Sunday.

Louis Posey, 27, finally put down his 30-30 rifle and ended Monday’s siege at the Knoxville Business Col lege after talking to Teresa Robin son, a student who had been one of his hostages in September. Posey was on a 10-day leave from Lakeshore Mental Health Institute, where officials said he was respond ing well to treatment. He was prog ressing so well he had been allowed to spend weekends with his widowed mother in Oneida. Friends said Posey felt “inferior” because of a limp resulting from a wreck in 1966. An exhausted Capt. Doug Nor man, who conducted negotiations with the partially crippled ex student of the business college, said “it was his overwhelming desire to talk to Teresa” that led to his sur render. He was ordered held under $100,000 bond on charges of aggra vated assault and armed assault for pointing his rifle at two officers. The Knoxville hostage situation was the longest of three such epi sodes Monday, all of which ended without violence. In Florence, Ky., Joe Blair, 23, of Clarksville, Ohio, had a falling out with his 19-year-old girlfriend. Armed with a shotgun, he took four employees hostage at the jean distri bution store where she worked, although she was not there. He sur rendered peacefully after six hours. In Jackson, Ala., a pistol-wielding woman, denied a job in a supermar ket, held three hostages in a state employment office for three hours before surrendering. She said the store manager told her he did not trust blacks. Boyhood friends of the Knoxville gunman said Posey had once wanted to be a motorcycle daredevil, but was seriously injured in a 1966 wreck. Posey grew more depressed about a year ago when his father died. Still, acquaintances said, he presented a cheery exterior. “I used to talk to him nearly every day,” said Jennifer Neal, a student at the school Posey attended until the first siege. “He was always the class clown. All he talked about was Char lie’s Angels and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.” Monday, he walked into a third- floor psychology classroom where about 30 students were studying de viant behavior. Waving his rifle, he agreed to let the students leave, one by one, but held one student and the instructor as hostages. The two women, Jane Johnston and Ann Norton, were allowed to leave after negotiations began. The talks did not go well, however, until the nervous Robinson was brought to the downtown school. They talked for a few moments before Posey was brought out the front door, uncuffed, by two officers. After the September incident, which lasted four hours, Posey told police he “wanted some people watching” when he killed himself. He was ordered to undergo men tal treatment at the Lakeshore facil ity. A doctor, who asked not to be identified, said Posey had been home nearly every weekend. “We had no reason to think there was any danger,” the doctor said. “He is not psychotic.” MANOR EAST 3 MANOREASTMALL 823-8300 Other unions support Kennedy Union backs Carter United Press International WASHINGTON — The 625,000- member Communication Workers of America Tuesday endorsed Presi dent Carter for re-election, less than a day after several hundred union leaders gave a rousing reception to Sen. Edward Kennedy. CWA President Glenn Watts, who was an early personal supporter of Carter’s candidacy, told a news briefing that a Carter-Kennedy bat tle could hand the White House to conservative politicians for 20 years. “With Jimmy Carter, we can win,” Watts said. “Without him, we cannot.’’ Of Kennedy’s candidacy, Watts said, “Now that he has challenged President Carter, I see the danger of a fatal split in the ranks of Demo crats, which could hand the pres idency to a Ronald Reagan or a John Connally — both of whom are com pletely unacceptable to organized labor. ” On Monday night, only hours af ter Lane Kirkland had been installed to succeed George Meany as presi dent of the AFL-CIO, delegates to the 13th biennial AFL-CIO conven tion turned to national politics and a cocktail reception for Kennedy spon sored by 16 union leaders. “It is time to put a real Democrat in the White House,” Kennedy said. Speaking at a cocktail reception sponsored by 16 union presidents, he assailed Carter’s wage-price guidelines and his inability to win on major congressional victories labor legislation. “Workers are being ripped off when wages are being held to 7 per cent while prices are being allowed to rise 13 percent a year,” Kennedy said to a loud cheer. 846-6714 & 846-1151 UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTEK . “YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE IT.
