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 the time of the election, a resi- dint of Michigan for six months,Jnrs t t et V )Ln nda resident of the town in which he will vote for 30 days, before he can be registered. : R .

HJI grt National Guard at Wisconsin capitol 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.

John Aschatz director of the North Campus Project, said there is little financial risk in the plan. He saidthe government has made loans to other schools for similar programs and "is confident t h a t this is a safe project." "If we have to refuse this loan," Aschatz added, "there is no other way for ICC to expand its serv- ices." Aschatz said the North Campus project would double the present 220 living spaces in coops around the campus. He said the proposed 12-man units have been modelled after coops at Rochdale College in Cana&Ia and are designed to pro- mote "close personal contact."

"S~students feud over r By LORNA CHEROT 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. Some see it as a true union functioning as a bargaining agent 'hetbeen students and The con grew out o early lasti present a n feasible do stitution.
