The Feldkamp directives: Dorm adviser a s cop By JUDY SARASOHN Do you feel safe smoking pot in your dorm because there are no police around? Do you feel like telling your resident ad- viser about the illegal abortion you have to get? If you do either, you may be subject to legal prosecution if your resident adviser follows directives issued by Director of Uni- versity Housing John Feldkamp. According to Feldkamp's memos, hous- ing staff members are required to report to the police any information they have of residents' illegal use or possession of drugs. Resident advisers are also told to inform students that "pertinent information" learned in confidential counseling may be repeated to housing authorities, and by them to the police. In addition, Feldkamp's staff memos tell them students do not have any power over their lives in the dorms other than the regentally delegated power of making visi- tation rules. "Whatever 'policy-making' student gov- ernment accomplishes beyond visitation rules and women's hours, it must be re- membered, is legally accomplished ONLY at the discretion (his emphasis) of the ap- propriate University authorities," states a recent memo on student government. Concerning his policy on drug use, Feld- kamp says the staff's role is "not to play cops and robbers" nor to investigate mere rumors of illegal drug use. But he believes the University must support current drug laws. "The University w o u 1 d be hiding its head in the sand if it said nothing," he says. "If the University does not act within the community laws, it will force controls from outside. That would expose us lika Stony Brook." "The University can't be a sanctuary," he adds. Some housing staff members do not even realize these directives exist. Others who know about the policies but take issue with them and do not enforce them, or enforce them only under extreme conditions. "It's difficult for the University to come out and say it won't enforce the law," sug- gests one resident director, who does not wish to be identified. "But we ought to say that we are simply not police officers." Dan Bauer, assistant resident director of Gomberg House, South Quad, agrees with Feldkamp that these policies are ones the "University must hold legally." But, he says, "nine-tenths of t h e housing staff doesn't feel the policies are realistic." Bauer says he would not inform the po- lice about a casual drug user, though he might report a pusher if counseling did not have any effect. Most staff members, Bau- er believes, would report a "pusher who induces" others to use drugs. "I know that when the situation arises, I will do what I think is best," says Marcy Smith, a resident adviser in Hunt House, South Quad, about her attitude towards Feldkamp's drug policy. Even the police seem to take a more casual attitude than Feldkamp does to- ward the problems of drug use and infor- mnation. "If there were a problem they couldn't solve I would hope they'd notify us," says Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny. He says concerned parents sometimes notify the University or the police depart- ment and ask why the police are not look- ing into the matter. Then, Krasny says, tkiere might be a "cooperative relationship" between the police and the University. Adds Lt. Eugene Staudenmeier, the friendly plainclothesman who hobnobs with activist students on campus, "The housing staff theoretically should report violations of the law to the police"-the way any citizen should. In addition to the problem of what the housing staff should do is the more deli- cate problem of who actually tells the po- lice if something does happen. Many ,resident advisers a n d assistant resident directors say they would not want to report directly to the police, but might inform the housing staff official above them. "I don't think I'd report to the police, maybe to a 'higher up'," says Carl Win- See FELDKAMP'S, Page 6 TI HE H)YNS'WOiTH D)E.FEAT £nr, Mhig Siee Editorial Page t gnt y Vol. LXXX, No. 73 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, December 2, 1 969 Ten Cents [YPERBOREAL hligh-4 5 Law-24 ('old, possible snow flurries Twelve Pages otter fixes order for draft Wa tching the hand Sept. 14 first of televised fate By CIIJIS STEELE There was screaming and yelling and whoops of joy. Beer flowed for' both winners and losers. Last night's national draft lot- ery was a cliff-hanging moment of truth for thousands of Univer- sity students. Tense crowds milled for hours around televisions and radios waiting for the word that might decide their fate. The watchers who filled dorm lounges, fraternity TV rooms and The Daily city room were mostly men of the eligible age with a liberal dose of concerned but unin- volved--girl friends, sisters and those not yet of age. The dates were read, and the crowds cursed the commercials and the television interviews--"Who' gives a damn about the youth ad- visory board." The first hundred numbers were, greeted with nervous silence. The chosen ones- muttered "Oh crap," or walked out silently. Few could muster strong invective.

The Board of Governors of the Residence Halls is taking pains not to repeat this year's miscalculation that resulted in the shunting of over 200 freshmen into 'temporary housing' in cafeterias. Instead, the board decided last week to give incoming students priority in room allocations in the residence halls. number one. Steve dropped out of school last semester and has been sitting on a four-month-old I-A classification hoping for the best. "Now it's more impending" he says. He was stunned when he was told about his number in a tele- pione call from his siste'. "The full force of it hasn't hit ne yet,' he explains. Steve says he "can't justify going into the military." He will keep working at his present job and hopes to find some way out of the problem. Said one young man who came out with number 26: "Now I know w hat it feels like to be a girl and get pregnant." As the numbers got higher the reactions became more enthusias- tic. Congratulations were passed around and the unlucky winners of lottery pools shared their beer. Reaction to the new lottery sys- teni was mixed. Many people seemed to think it was a little better' than the old s ystem because they could have some indication in advance of what their status would be. Speculation over the uncertain' middle numbers seemed to settle around 180--people felt pretty safe if they were above that number and those only a few below tried to rationalize it away. When the 200s began the watch- ers who hadn't heard their num- bers yet were just plain happy. Fred Cowles '70, came up with number 355. He used to be "con- sidering all the outs-Canada, the Peace Corps, everythiing." Asked what he planned to do now that he has a good draft number Fred chuckled "going to go home and make love to my wife." In the less immediate future Fred says the possibility of grad school has now opened up. One who made it all the way to the top was Dave Wesley '71. Born on June 8, Dave says he "wasn't going anyway." But, he says the results of the lottery "alleviates1 50 per cent of my hangups." "Real cool," says Dave. Rep.

Lewis Hershey. 200 MORE REQUIRED* Teachiing fellows uni a po s ipoint e onWs 1111 in draft lotter WASHINGTON Y@ -- The first draft lottery in 27 years took place last night in the national headquarters of the Selective Service System. Sept. 14 was drawn by Rep. Alexander Pirnie (R-NY) putting those born on that date at the head of the line for the 1970 draft calls. Others will be called in the order in which their birthdays were drawn last night until the local draftboards throughout the country fill their quotas. The list drawn affects all men between the ages of 19 and 26 as of the end of this year. However, only those presently classified I-A or I-A-O will actually be called. Men now deferred or exempt will retain their place in the order of call should they later lose their exemption. The lottery began at 8 p.m. following a brief invocation by draft director Lewis B. Hershey. Hershey then ordered inthe black box containing the 366 plastic capsules and poured them into a large glass jar. Each capsule contained a slip of paper with one date of the year on it, including one for February 29. The slips of paper had gummed backs, for pasting on a large blue board at one end of the small auditorium in draft headquarters. To determine his place in line for the draft next year, each draft- age man in the nation must find his birthday among the list of dates, --Associated Press and to take note of the number next to it. for the 1970 draft calls. At left Starting in January, each draft board will begin calling men for military service on the basis of that list. --~ The first ones called will be the men with birthdays matching the data next to number one-Sept. 14. Next come those whose birthday matches number two, and so on. By the time most draft boards have worked their way half way through the list-into the middle or upper 100's-they will probably 0 asses have all the men they need for their 1970 quotas. Men with birth dates drawn early in the list can be almost sure of receiving a draft notice next year; men with middle-range numbers may have to wait out the year; men whose birthdays are drawn late in the list, next to numbers in the 200's or 300's, probably will not be drafted.

The proposal, which council passed unanimously on first reading Nov. 17, would apply to both owners and apart- ment dwellers. Council is expected to approve the code again at second reading Dec. 15. However, there remain several possible amendments which will be discussed at If the building's certificate of com- pliance has not been issued or has been suspended for "major" violations pre- senting dangers to health and safety, tenants could place their rent into either a private or city-operated escrow fund. They might also be ordered to vacate the building. However, officials in the Tenants Union have recommended that tenants oe allowed to place their rent in a private escrow fund in the case of "minor" violations that do not con- stitute health and safety hazards. proof he is making the repairs, he will be granted an extension of 15 days. If, however, the violations still exist after the entire 30 days, the tenants can then place their rent in escrow, with the other penalties to landlords appli- cable. Although the owner will not be liable if he was legally in the process of mak- ing the repairs, the proposed code states, he will face the penalties if he was aware of the violation before a city inspection or if the same type of viola- tion has been found in other buildings benefi ts plains that any violation, except the roof falling through now constitutes a "minor" violation. He says there are many other violations--like inadequate heating facilities - which should be considered "major." Tenants Union members Steve Burg- hardt and Goldstein are helping draft an amendment which they say Mayor Robert Harris supports establishing an arbitration board composed of Ann Arbor residents to control the granting of extensions for both "major" and "minor" violations. This would be done, "A single teaching fellow may be able to live on his salary," de- lared Bass. "but if he's married and has children, they really can't.."
