OV BV STAN PUTNAM Free Press Staff Writer They came home as heroes Sunday. Though there was no band at the Warren Woods High School to greet the 25 student-adventurers who weathered the weekend in the wilderness near Lupton.

they were heroes anyway: To themselves. WHEN THEY get through telling the tall tales of their cold and hungry time, of their desperate but successful hunt for food When the skins of the animals they killed are hung in a high school trophy rack, they will be heroes also to their classmates, parents and teachers. As the 25 students piled from the school bus Sunday, afternoon, they immediately formed a tribal victory circle. To a beat struck out on the back of a guitar and to the tune of "The Old Gray Mare" they chanted "Oh they said we couldn't do it but we did, "Oh they said we couldn't do it but we did. "We caught two old porcupines and cooked them up just real fine.

"Oh they said we couldn't do it but we did." DID whatT Helmet Koike, a hunter, summed it up: "Our parents are always telling us that we never face any of the predicaments they had to. "We went out there and got porcupine. We ate it. We did something tbeir ancestors did. They never did it." After braving every kind of anti-camping weather there is, success came to the sur-vivalists around noon Saturday when a band of hunters bagged a porcupine.

"We did it without any of the advisers, too," said Dan Pappas. The method: Robert Noe and Koike climbed a tree and knocked the beast down. On the ground Pappas and George McNabb gave the coup de grace. At sundown another porcupine was carried in, slung under a pole in true tribal tradition by another band of happy hunters. THE MENU for the first real meal was: Distilled porcupine broth and roast porcupine whole garnished with salted roasted rye kernels.

"You must have some," said Karen Scott as she offered "Two Strikes" McNabb a platter of roasted rye. "They taste just like popcorn," hunter McNabb admitted. They even brought back a scarred veteran Mho can bare his arm and show his wounds. In knocking down the second porcupine with his gloved fist, Michael Arwood got a dozen quills in his forearm. He was treated later that evening in a West Branch hospital.

"They had everything against them," said Peter Coutsas, 23-year old psychology teacher who was in charge of the expedition. "The co-operation was good. They worked together and everyone did his part. I'd say it was a complete success." Doug and Sherri Mcintosh were voted King and Queen of the Woods, while the students dined on their first civilized meal hamburgs, shakes and fries at a restaurant in Bay City.

John Mackie is fighting to keep the House seat he won two years ago. In this article, Free Press writer Saul Friedman analyzes the surge of Mackie's challenger, Don Riegle. I A Li Roberts, the highly touted and highly priced firm that masterminds Ronald Reagan's campaign. DONALD RIEGLE is the son of a former mayor of Flint. Young Riegle has been a career student, having attended Western Michigan University, the University of Michigan, and Michigan State.

He won master's degrees in finance and marketing from MSU, spent three years in the finance department of International Business Machines, then headed to Harvard business school where he was studying for a doctorate when politics called. When he, decided to run for office he hadn't lived in Michigan for five years, but as with the Kennedys, it didn't bother him. He announced his candidacy as he stepped off a plane BV SAUL FRIEDMAN Free Press Washington Staff FLINT Of all the dirty, low down political tricks. Somebody pasted the word "Republican" under Don Riegle's pictures in the window of his congressional campaign headquarters the other day. Riegle's people angrily blamed Democrats and quickly tore down the signs.

To be sure, Riegle is a Republican, but hf doesn't want to advertise it. THIS is the essence of his campaign in the 7th Congressional District against Rep. John C. Mackie, and there is a good chance Riegle will be successful. Success apparently has spoiled Mackie.

He was a top Democratic vote getter when he was state highway commissioner. And two years ago he won his congressional seat more easily than any other freshman Democrat except Detroit's John Conyers. Now, however, he is in a much trouble as any of the freshmen, maybe more. Taking the heavy Flint labor vote, for granted, his staff Is disorganized, careless, makeshift and unimaginative. Mackie has not yet opened a downtown campaign office in Flint, his congressional office is in an out-of-the-way location, and his staff members do not have at their fingertips those crucial bits of information a candidate needs.

It may be that his staff needs leadership. Mackie has never been much of a campaigner, his friends say, and be has no love for the nitty-gritty of getting votes and pressing flesh. ALL THIS is in striking contrast to his opponent who, at 28, is young enough to be Mackie's son. Riegle is a boy phenomenon in Michigan politics about whom much will be heard, win or lose. survived Posts Will Ease Substitute Shortage BY WILLIAM SERKIN Free Press Staff Writer More than 100 clergymen and laymen, including 25 participants in housing demonstrations by the West Central Organization (WCO), are scheduled to begin work as substitute teachers Oct.

24 in Detroit public schools. Most will work in the inner city, where the worst shortage of substitute teachers exists. Details of the project were announced Sunday by Dr. Norman Drachler, acting superintendent of schools: the Rev. Thomas Johnson, WCO presi dent, and the Rev.

Stephen P. tpotiswood, of the Detroit Council of Churches. They met with 75 of the clergymen and laymen at St John's Episcopal Church. Wood ward and Vernor. THE VOLUNTEERS will teach one or more days a week, and will receive $27.50 a day, the normal rate for substitute teachers.

The clergymen and laymen qualify as substitutes under re- laxea Board or Education regulations which require onlv 60 hours of college credit and ex perience in allied fields, including the ministry. The regulations were passed to meet a shortage of 400 to 500 substitutes. Previously, substi tutes had to be certified teach ers. Drachler told the volunteers that 80 to 100 classrooms were staffed with administrators or were doubled up last week because substitutes could not be found. In addition, he said the shortage of regular teachers Is so severe that the system would have to hire some 1,650 instruc tors to bring its student-teacher ratio in line with the rest of the state.

HE SAID he hoped the pro. ject would dramatize the need for passage of the Board of Education's five-mill school proposal Nov. 8. Drachler admitted he had re ceived "numerous calls" criticizing his acceptance of the volunteers. He said he rejected the callers' fears that the project will lower standards, infringe upon separation of church and state laws, and enable the WCO and the Council of Churches to reap publicity.

Mr. Johnson said the clergy men and laymen were activists in the fight to aid the urban poor, rather than "silent witnesses of evil deeds."

BY GABY BLONSTON Fret Press Staff Writer An old fellow in a sweater and cap looked down at Bruno: "Is he dead?" Fred said, "No, he's just resting." That's the way it is on the corner where Bruno lives with the rest of the gang. It's the nicest place, when the sun is shining. BRUNO belongs. Hard luck days show in all the faces on the corner, and Bruno's worn coat, the tired eyes, the scars fit in. Bruno doesn't bother any-' body, but he can deal it out as well as he can take it.

And he still has an eye for the ladies. Bruno is mostly hound, with some kind of bull type dog through the chest and in the. blunt snout. Fred Andrews figures him for about 12 years old, slowing-down age. THE RECORDS will tell you that Fred owns Bruno, but the records lie.

Nobody really owns Bruno. He just has a lot of attendants. Around Selden and Second. Bruno's corner, everyone will admit that the old dog has finally made it. "He's living better than yon and said one of the half-dozen members of the corner gang, sitting on the makeshift bench in front of Selden Drugs.

Watch 10 minutes, and you know it's true. It started last year. Bruno appeared on the corner just ahead of winter. Fred was selling papers there at the time. "On rainy, cold days, he would come and lay against my leg to keep warm," Fred said.

The guys on the corner began to like having Bruno around. They fed him and then fed him again, and Bruno stayed. ONE DAY, the law came to the corner and they got Bruno. No license. No owner.

And to prove it he's campaigning in the Lindsay-Kennedy-Rom-ney-Nixon-Goldwater style, with an added dash of Eisenhower and a spicy pinch of Reagan. It is not as impossible as it seems: Like John Lindsay's' mayoral campaign in New York, Riegle's Is a bipartisan pitch to the grass roots. Further, he has fastened himself firmly to Romney's star, he has struck up a friendship with Richard Nixon, whose help he has received and he journeyed to see Eisenhower with the help of a Goldwater Republican. He is the only congressional candidate outside California to get the help of Spencer REP. MACKIE, who faces a f'tRht.

didn't just happen. It was planned under a gentlemen's agreement worked out late last year. A similar arrangement was made to match the number of candidates with the number of eight-year terms, but someone upset the apple cart. He entered the race and made It a contest. Last December, 18 circuit judges whose terms are running out got together to decide who would run for what.

Generally it was agreed the nine judges with less seniority would seek re-election for 10-year terms. The more senior jurists would run for eight-year terms. A couple of judges flipped coins to decide. But with few exceptions the agreed lineup on the ballot was followed. AS WITH MANY elected offices, the incumbent has an advantage over the newcomer.

And judges have a lot going Free Press Photo by JERRY HEIMAN DR. KING, who paused to meditate. King Lists Cures for City's His BY VAN SAUTEB Free Press Staff Writer Martin Luther King said Sunday that the techniques developed in his so-far successful Chicago civil rights crusade could be effectively applied in metropolitan Detroit. He referred to the develop ment of tenant councils in ghetto areas and the use of community pressure to break down racial barriers in all-white neighbor hoods and suburbs. In Detroit, civil rights groups have failed to organize tenant councils and there are widespread complaints of inadequate housing, due partly to racial descrimination.

THE NOBEL Peace Prize winner, in Detroit to address the annual men's day dinner of New Bethel Baptist Church, said the techniques could be utilized locally without his leadership. "My presence is not necessary," King said. "If commu nities are waiting for me, we'll be another hundred years wait ing for freedom." King also urged Detroit "people of goodwill" to support the millage proposal on the Nov. 8 ballot for additional school funds. He said all urban areas need additional funds to obtain qua! ity integrated education.

SITTING at a plain wooden table under a large, elaborate gold cross. King said he was not interested in purging mili tant civil rights groups. King, who has rejected the black power concepts of such groups as the Student Non-vio lent Co-ordinating Committee, said he wanted to bring these people back "to the great pru ciples.

Out of that meeting came an agreement from Nixon to help Riegle. His help was formidable.

Once in office they usually can stay as long as they, want without fear of being booted out by voters. None of the judges wanted to go for the six-year term, which was put on the ballot to increase their number to 27, an extra three. The field was wide open in the Aug. 2 primary election and 16 candidates sought nominations. Voters picked six for the Nov.

8 ballot. What is there about being a circuit judge that attracts candidates? Money? The job pays $29,000 a year which is less than judges say they could make as lawyers. Fringe benefits?

BRUNO'S COLLAR was the liveliest thing about him. It's the third one Bruno has had. For all his nobility, there's someone somewhere near the corner who doesn't like him around. They have stolen his collar and license twice. One of the collars, license still attached, was found later in a garbage can.

Someone is trying to frame Bruno. So the corner gang watches him closely, to keep him out of the way of the law. Landlord Expects Fast Action and FP Ad Gets It "I wasn't surprised at all," said T. U. of Detroit.

They bought him shots, a. license and a. collar, and they put him in Fred's name. That's how the pact was sealed. For $11, the corner gang sold themselves to Bruno.

Fred smiled, sort, of unbelieving. "Everybody brings him something to eat. They even bring him choice steaks from Mario's Restaurant up the street. Just everybody." Fred looked out at the dog sprawled on the sidewalk. Bruno has a bed, a pillow and a piece of canvas spread beside the drugstore wall.

He has sun and shade and somebody to scratch him. The corner of Second and Selden is owned by that old dog, and he lets no one doubt it.
