Your Beloved Wife Betty, Richard, Joyce and Harry. committee supports his positions "just about down the line." A group of University of Vermont faculty members also has endorsed Sanders. The independent candidate is "interested in revitalizing relations" between the city and the university, a spokesman said.

"I have not seen Mayor (Gordon) Paquette at UVM for as long as I can remember," said Richard Sugarman, a religion professor. Psychology professor George Albee said Sanders "has a real interest in the viability of the university. We have a lot to gain from each other." Sugarman said university professors, many of whom live in the city, would support Sanders' call for a $250,000 a year payment in lieu of taxes by the university. English professor Stanley "Huck" Gutman said the university should "give a little back" to Burlington. Sanders also was endorsed last week by People Acting for Change Together, a tenants' rights group.

A statement from the group said Sanders has fought for the "neglected working class." Paquette and his administration "have flaunted their power and shown great arrogance when confronted by opposition to their grandiose spokesman Gene Bergman said. City firefighters met with Sanders and candidate Richard Bove Sunday and decided to endorse neither. Bove is a city fire commissioner. Paquette and candidate Joseph McGrath Jr. did not attend the meeting.

The city police union has endorsed Sanders. Voter Turnout Will Be Crucial In Mayor Race From Page 18. hood Association and the King Street Residents Group, can point to major successes in city affairs. The election is a test of their strength. If they can turn out votes for Sanders like they turn out press releases, Paquette will be in more trouble than anyone has imagined.

Bove and candidate Joseph McGrath Jr. absorbed some of Sanders' issues. Sanders was the first to lend his support to a fair housing commission. When the campaign began, neither Bove nor McGrath supported it. Last week they did.

Sanders was alone, though, in challenging the city's business community to come up with more funds to pay for city services. He called for classified property appraisal, so businesses would be taxed at a higher rate than homeowners. He has had some problems. Sanders squabbled unnecessarily with the local Citizens Party, although it wound up endorsing him Sunday. He was criticized for claiming poor and elderly Burlington citizens must eat pet food to survive.

The Free Press checked with social agencies last week and found no documented reports of such occurrences. A campaign brochure has incorrect polling places listed. To have a chance Tuesday, Sanders must capitalize on South End residents unhappy with the southern connector highway. Conversely, he might pick up support from disgruntled North End residents who want the northern connector. He must crank out heavy returns from residents in Wards 2 and 3, the Old North End and center city, who believe Paquette has ignored their growing economic plight.

Those wards have the smallest percentage of votes, however. In Wards 1 and 6 he must get a big turnout from university students and faculty members who say Paquette has built a wall between them and the city. Sanders has said he needs 4,000 votes Tuesday, out of an expected 8,000 total. Paquette has racked up as many as 6,079 votes in winning re-election. Bove has predicted he will receive 3,800 votes, and top Paquette by 250.

If both Bove and Sanders get what they predict, there will be few left for the mayor, an unlikely occurrence. Bove and Sanders sent out about two dozen workers each Sunday. Paquette was "just seeing a few here and there and touching bases," said the mayor's campaign manager, Arie Rothenberg. "Of course we're going to win, I thought that was understood." Rothenberg said Paquette's campaigning reflected the approach he has taken in all mayoral contests. Sanders said, "I am quite confident that if there is a decent turnout, if people get out and vote, we're going to win.

There's no doubt about it." He said 25 workers handed out 10,000 pamphlets during the weekend. Bove said 27 of his campaign workers blanketed the city Sunday, handing out campaign literature. 3 Free Press Photo by IRENE FERTIK Unexpected Break University of Vermont students lounge outside were in the dormitory complex Sunday and were the school's Living-Learning Center drinking beer evacuated.

CVU Bond Faces Voter Scrutiny From Page 18 school, located off Hinesburg Road. The 10 classrooms, which would wrap around the south and west sides of the building, would not end the overcrowding, but would "help," Rinaldi said.

According to school officials' figures, there are 103 square feet for each student at CVU. At other schools in the area, each student has 30 to 90 square feet more. School officials estimated enrollment over the next five years and found a drop to 918 students in 1983 and a climb back up to 1,000 by 1984. Rinaldi said the School Board did not budget money to heat the proposed addition because the new rooms would use passive solar heating. "It is designed to take advantage of the southerly exposure and use passive solar heating," he said.

"It will focus the light on the existing exterior wall, which will heat up and drain off during the night. Right now the building loses a lot of heat, but the new classrooms will have additional insulation." The main cost of the project is construction and renovation of science rooms. Two of the classrooms are slated for special education and eight would be for general purposes. The addition would be joined to the building to form an entrance lobby, which the school lacks. Six of the temporary classrooms would be needed and two would be used for storage if the bond is approved.

The project would be paid for with a 20-year municipal bond and the largest payment would be $85,000. The cost would be divided among towns in the district. Shelburne would pick up the largest amount, $30,600, a 1 percent increase in taxes. Williston would pay Hinesburg, $15,971, and Charlotte, $14,544. Robert C.

Jones, president of the Champlain Valley Education Association, said the group supports the plan. "It seems to me to be a reasonable compromise. It's part of a phase-in project," he said.

Leonard was a member of the Malletts Bay Boat Club and invented a sailing "audio compass" to keep the visually impaired on a set course.

He had sailed the Atlantic, Carribbean and Lake Champlain and wrote an article about the compass for Yachting Magazine in 1971.
