State legisIator
requests opinion
By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN '
A state legislator has asked Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley to
rule on the legality of the use of Student Government Council
funds as bail money for students and members of the com-
munity arrested in the recent welfare demonstrations here..
In a letter to the attorney general, Rep. Roy Smith (R-
Ypsilanti) asked whether Council funds-which are appro-
priated from tuition fees-may legally be used as bail money..
SGC appropriated $1500 to be used as a bail fund for
"members of the community" during the demonstrations!
which lead to 241 arirests-many of them students-at the
Washtenaw County Bldg. on Sept. 5 and 6.
If Kelley rules the SGC action illegal, it could end perma-
nently Council's financial aid to students in legal difficulties.
An adverse ruling might force SGC to terminate its legal aid
counseling program as well as the bail fund.
Contacted at home last night, Smith said he made the
inquiry because of the large volume of comment he has re-
ceived from constituents concerned with the legality of SGC's
action.
There was no indication from the attorney general's office
concerning the time needed to write an opinion on the SGC
appropriation.
Smith said he had not asked for a ruling on the legality
of the use of University funds to provide bond for students
arrested on the first day of, the demonstrations because he
was informed that those funds came from sources' other than
1- tuition or state appropriations.
s- Reached for comment last night, SGC President Michael
gat Koeneke said the inquiiy was the result of the sentiments of
Ke those who "just want to make noise about SDS."
to Koeneke claimed that the inquiry would not have been
n- made if radicals had not been involved.
Furthermore, Koeneke said he thought it was made clear
e-'that the appropriation 'was merely a loan. He added that he
i- could not understand Smith's concern because "Council
d money comes from student fees, not state funds."
f Koeneke said that only" $800-$900 of the money appro-
n priated had actually been used to post bond. The rest con-
tinues to reside in a permanent bail fund.
,e Under SGC's legal aid counseling service, Council hires
as local attorneys to spend a few hours a week speaking pri-
.d vately to students who need legal advice. Last year, over-
rn loaded appointment lists forced Council to expand the
e program.

Supervisors bar
Iagency's request
By JIM HECK
The County Board of Supervisors yesterday may have
jeopardized a Social Services Department (SSD) emergency
program to clothe 1300 school children.
The supervisors, by a unanimous voice vote, refused to
allocate the $50,000 that board members promised the SSD
for the project Sept. 10.
Board chairman Robert Harrison justified the action,
claiming, "The Social Services Board (SSB) has adequate
funds to use for the program if they decide to continue it."
He claimed $353,866 remains unused in the SSB budget.
However, county social services director Alfred E. Brose
called the action "dishonorable," and said, "I have no idea
whether there are surplus --
1funds. I don't know if we can
continue the project."
The SSB will meet today at 11
a.m. to decide what monies are
available.
The SSD has already given
more than $53,000 to welfare re- '
cipients for the emergency tiro-
gram. But Brose said this money
was allocated "under the good
faith agreement that the super- '
visors would reimburse us by .
$50,000."
Before the vote on the resolu-
tion was taken, Harrison said all
previous meetings between the
welfare mothers and the contin-
gent of county supervisors were
"irrelevant and only carried out
by the supervisors in an advisoryG
capacity." Gog odnt
"We never had the power to

Offers to facilities from three

major factor in the decision of
parents and staff to continue
classes despite the lack of per-
manent quarters.
