Ann Arbor high school students and
administrators are again clashing over
the issue of a free press.
Carla Houser, a Pioneer High stu-
dent, was temporarily suspended Wed-
nesday for passing out "unauthorized
literature" - an underground student
paper.
The problem has also stemmed from
confiscation of copies of the Ann Ar-
bor Argus. Argus editor and publisher
Ken Kelley says ,he plans to "go be-
fore the school board and lay the is-
sue on the line."k
Board of Education rules require all
matter distributed on school property
to be written by students or faculty.
The regulations also stipulate that "no
material shall contain deliberate mis-
quotations, malicious ridicule, obscen-

dispute

high school

ity or be in violation of laws civil and
criminal."
Any literature which fails to meet
any of the regulations is considered
"unauthorized" by the administration.
Students who are found to be respon-
sible are disciplined at the discretion
of the principal.
The board policy prohibits anony-
mous literature. All editors of any ma-
terials must sign the "articles of
agreement" which bind them to this
"free press policy."
Miss Hauser was suspended for pass-
ing out The Student Liberation Front,
a publication which protests the
board's policy.
The board policy was instituted last
spring following the appearance of an
underground paper, US.
The Student Liberation Front chal-
lenges the right of the school adminis-

tration to determine what literature
may be distributed on school grounds.
"J u s t because we go to school at
Pioneer High does not mean that we
have signed away our civil rights and
civil liberties," said one of the students
involved.
According to David Swain, a student
who passed out copies of the Argus,
which were later confiscated, "The ad-
ministration confiscated my copies of
the Argus and all the copies of the
Student Liberation Front."
Swain said that the high school ad-
ministration has been "constantly har-
rassing" students w h o have been
handing out both authorized and "un-
authorized" literature.
Kelley said he has conferred with
Argus Attorneys - "the top radical
attorneys in the country," - and they
agree that the action of confiscation

and authorization is "clearly discrim-
inatory."
He said that the actions violate free-
dom of speech in the high schools. "If
this action persists, we will take this
to court," Kelley added.
The entire issue of freedom of the
press will be considered at the school
board meeting Wednesday, including
Miss Hauseis suspension and distri-
bution of the Argus. Students are plan-
ning to attend the meeting.
Students also claim disciplinary ac-
tion is pending against another girl
for distributing unauthorized material.
Theodore Rokick, principal of Pio-
neer High School, said, "We're n o t
'conducting a witch hunt out here."
Rokicki explained that according to
school rules, students who distribute
unauthorized literature will be tem-
porarily suspended. He said that only

pre

s rules
the school board has the power to ex-
pel students permanently.
According to Robert Albano, a stu-
dent at the high school. "The admin-
istration and the student body are ap-
proaching a confrontation on the is-
sue of free press."
Lawrence Berlin, chairman of the
Local American Civil Liberties Union,
said that the issue raised by the sit-
uation is what limits can be imposed
on the First Amendment protection of
freedom of speech by public schools."
Scott W. Westermann, Superinten-
dent of Schools, was unavailable for
comment on the recent high school
events.
Prof. Joseph R. Julin, of the law
school, president of the school board,
explained that the board feels that its
policy is clearly within constitutional
limits.

LOVES OF A BLONDE

HOPES OF A DISARMAMENT BREAKTHROUGH between
the Soviet Union and the United States rose yesterday as the two
sides came closer to an accord banning military exploitation of
the sea bed.
The Soviet Union explained its draft treaty to demilitarize the
sea bed is not an attempt to bar communication and navigation aid
installations beneath international waters. It would allow for sub-
marine-tracking stations, provided they are constructed within ten
miles of the coast.
The two powers are still at odds on the position of conventional
weapons in the sea. An agreement will have to be reached first that
defines at what point a conventional weapon becomes one of mass
destruction. The latter fall outside the nuclear category.
THE VIETNAM PEACE TALKS were bogged down yesterday
in a barage of Viet Cong accusations.
The Viet Cong charged that progress reports were "cunning
treachery" on the part of President Nixon's administration. However
Lawrence Walsh, an ambassador for the U.S. refuted the statement.
Statements made by all powers left the two sides tightly dead-
locked as ever on the crucial question of troop withdrawals. The
United States continued pressure for a mutual pull-out of allied
and North Vietnamese troops, while North Vietnam and the NLF
reiterated demands for a U.S. withdrawal.
U.N. DELEGATES OF THE BIG FOUR POWERS began
yesterday to try to persuade Israel and the Arabs to end their
deadlock on a peace pact.

East will relay proposals from the fotgr powers to Israel and the

pickets Sears
By ERIKA HOFF
Local welfare recipients took
action yesterday in their at-
tempts to receive credit from
Sears, Roebuck and Co.
About 12 welfare recipients and
20 student supporters took up
picket signs and marched to the
loda l Sears store where they form-
ed a picket line, shouting "Don't
buy at Sears."
The protest also took the form
of what National Welfare Rights
'! Organization (NWRO) executive
director George Wiley termed a
shop-in." Both welfare recipients
and student supporters w e n t
through the Sears store trying on
clothes and having sales clerks
ring up purchases.
When the time came to pay, the
shoppers would ask if the store
had a credit agreement with
NWRO and, learning that Sears
does not have such an agreement,
refused to purchase the articles.'
While some of the protesters
were busy downstairs. Wiley was
upstairs presenting the NWRO's
demands to the store manager,'.
Daily-Jay cassidy C. W. Jones.
ars Wiley said that Sears is dis-
-criminatory against welfare re-
cipients in its credit policy, and
the NWRO is demanding that
members be given at least $150 of
revolving credit with a NWRO let-
ter of recommendation as the sole
credit reference. The charge would
be paid off at the rate of $8 a
month. The monthly welfare allot-
lot-Y ment for clothing is $9.

ment to receive this letter of
