State to seek
reforms in city
voting
policies
By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ
State officials and University students took steps yester-
day to modify the city's controversial policy on reglstering
students to vote.
The city's current policy has come under challenge re-
cently as being discriminatory against students.
In Lansing yesterday, James Blanchard, an attorney In
the state elections division, advised any married students who
are denied registration by the city clerk's office to ask the
clerk to notify the state elections division,
"We will advise the city clerk to register all such stu-
dents," Blanchard explained, "provided they meet the mini-
mum state requirements."
The state requires that a pro- a'--
spective voter be 21 years old by

Senator proposes bill
on campus disorders
From Wire Service Reports
State Rep. Robert E. Waldron (R-Grosse Pointe) said
Tuesday the legislature is presently drawing up bills designed
to prevent further disorders on college and university
campuses.
The legislation is reportedly to be modeled in large part
after proposed California laws on student rioting. Waldron
said the Michigan Constitution is more restrictive in this area.
"Our Constitution provides for tight autonomy of colleges
and universities," he said. "Any ideas we came up with wereE
carefully studied in light of these constitutional require-
ments."N
Waldron said Gov. William G. Milliken, who has taken a
late Tuesday night, set up picket'
lines at the main campus entrance ')EEP E w'
and at entrances to major class-_
room buildings.

Daily News Analysis
The Social Work Student Union tried to
fight its way out of a constitutional hassle
with a school-wide referendum this week,
but only ended up with an indteisive vote
and the same old constitution.
The recent difficulties began when a
group of some 80 students petitioned the
union ombudsmen to prevent the student
union from making appointments to the
# newly-created student-faculty committees.
They said the union was not representa-
tive.
The ombudsman, under pressure from
the union, turned the petition down on the
grounds that it would needlessly delay the
"Viable Alternative," a relatively struc-
ture-free package of proposals,
The situation was confounded when Dal-
ton Lee, '70 SW, issued what he called
the "Whoa! Amendment." Charging that
the other two proposals~ were "Franken-
steinian creations," he cautioned students
to vote "no" on both proposals, thereby
allowing first year social work students
to revise the constitution after the elec-
tion of new officers next week.
He says second-year students shouldn't
have a voice since they'll be leaving soon.
The question revolves, at least partly,
about what the student union should be.
