The spending and permissiveness are crucial issues. The most glaring example of permissiveness is the time they called a special council meeting to allow the White Pan- thers to use West Park." In the Fifth Ward, Cappaert's primary concern is with black- white relations. "The Affirmative Action Program which has al- ready been passed should be car- The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow for the city election.

The Program calls for the city's hiring more blacks and redefining job descriptions so that this can be done. Fairbanks' seven point program includes the following: - maintaining City Transpor- tation Authority but "fund it ra- tionally"; - asking University's assistance to pay for police overtime; -- operating within the city's budget rather than asking in - creased taxes; -- additional recreation p r o- grams for teenagers and y o u n g adults; - better public relations f o r public housing commission; - taking "politics out" of new human rights commission to make it effective. - appointing a "blue ribbon committee" on the environment. Candidates were divided about the recent strike on campus and the demands of the Black Action Movement (BAM). However, they were almost unanimous in sup- port of the way that President Robben Fleming handled the sit- uation. Kirscht said, "I'm generally in support of the kinds of things BAM wants - especially increas- ed enrollment. The class boycottls good if people feel it is necessary but I don't go along with violence or disruptions." Hilbert was unavailable for com- ment. "It is within the University toy settle. I'm sympathetic to the BAM demands and I'm glad they were ratified by the Regents," Quenon said. Weaver was unavailable for comment. Mrs. Owens said, "I'm in fav- or of the demands. Fleming was under all kinds of pressure and did a very admirable job under the conditions. I would have lik- ed to see it end faster but the strike was good and very effec- tive." Edwards did not want to com- ment. "I support some of the demands but not all. Standards shouldn't be lowered to admit more blacks. They didn't have to be as ex- treme as the strike," said Fer- guson. Stephenson said he was "not sympathetic to specific demands and not in accord with the way the University handled the strike. But I don't get all the facts. I don't believe in strikes period- I have yet to see one I would support." ' Cappaert supported both the BAM demands and the strike and and thought Fleming's handling of the situation was "excellent." Fairbanks did not want to com- ment. KD5,:P17TICnI1iRI( Statement released by BAM (Continued from Page 1) problem of a precedent that could be set by the case. A trial of students for non- academic offenses outside of an all-student judiciary, he says, is a "precedent the Regents and the administration w o u ld like to see continued." The BAM statement asserts that in reaching the agreement with Fleming, the BAM negotiators realized that much of the har- mony generated during the offi- cially non-violent strike "could be lost by allowing a few crude, cruel and vindictive faculty members and administrators to penalize students who were determined to get all of the BAM demands met." During the negotiations, accord- ing to the statement, it was un- derstood that the hearing officers for the cases would only be ap- pointed after the president had consulted with BAM representa- tives. BAM continues that it is their interpretation that a student, if dissatisfied with the hearing offi- cer or officers chosen for his case, may elect to appear before an- other hearing officer. It was also understood between both negotiating p a r t i e s, the statement said, that a student could appeal an unfavorable deci- sion to the president, who would then assign a new hearing offi- cer who would re-try the case.

STERN SEES LIFE AS A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF RELATIONSHIPS AND FEELS THAT BY UNDERTANDING THESE RELATIONSHIPS WE BEGIN TO UNDER- STAND OURSELVES AND OUR ENVIRONMENT. B'NAI BRITH HILLEL FOUNDATION-1429 Hill St. s 1 ,. "Showings of Paintings by Ned Stern" (PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) The revolutionists have spread the word. "Come to Ann, Arbor, Michigan, this summer. It's, an open city under the permissive olicies of the Democrats." Isn't that a riot? 4 i ic' i. fill LOIS OWENS S Democratic Candidate for Council Third Word In one short year, the Democratic Administration in Ann Arbor has demonstrated what imaginative and vigorous leadership can achieve. There were no public housing units built in Ann Arbor until one year ago. There are now 151 units under construction and 400 more units planned. Zoning classifications hove been changed to provide for open space and to meet landscape criteria. An Air Pollution Control ordinance will soon be passed. Despite Republican opposition, the Democrats have perserved in supporting a bus system, which lavs the foundation for a forward looking transportation plan to halt uncontrolled growth of car traffic. Without such a plan, endless traffic increase threatens to obliterate pedestrian travel and compel destruction of the city's traditional beauty, as everything makes way for parking structures and endless road widenings. Passage of a Human Rights ordinance which positively attackss discrimination is a model for the country. Again, against Republican opposition, the Democratic majority on Council upheld the Supreme Court rulings on freedom of expression. The recently passed Housing Code and Damage Deposit escrow, provision protect tenants from unconscionable landlords and developers. I will help maintain and enlarge this type of pro- gram and continue positive and forward-looking government in Ann Arbor. During the coming year, the Ann Arbor City Council will deal with many issues having a direct and important effect on the everyday lives of students. The Mayor and other Demo- crats on City Council have scheduled frequent, open sessions at City Hall and in locations throughout the city to facilitate citizen contact with city government. We demonstrated that more could be done by establishing procedures for deputy registrars to register students at convenient locations on campus and in areas of concentrated student housing. This was im- plemented, and should be continued. A special city ombudsman's office should be established to handle student concerns, so that student influence is felt and city proposals reflect a real awareness of student input. Over three thousand residents of Ann Arbor petitioned City Council to place a referendum an the War before the electorate on April 6. Despite opposition by Republican Councilmen, it was passed by City Council and was to be placed on the ballot. However, an opponent was able to obtain a court injunction and an appeal was denied. Ann Arbor voters have a right to vote on a question which' so affects their own lives and the lives of Vietnam citizens. Without continued strong opposition by those of us who have been opposing the War, the War will not end. If elected Councilwoman, I will work to see that a referendum on the War goes back on the ballot at the earliest possible date and stays on the ballot. Vote before Republican.
