Collins. Police detectives flew
out to Salinas Sunday, to ex-
amine the trailer for possible
evidence in any of the mur-
ders.
"I'm not speculating that Man-
uel or the trailer have anything to
do with any murders," said Ann
'Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny,
"but, we do want to see any con-
necting evidence."
Ypsilanti authorities h a v e is-
sued a warrant for Manuel's arrest
on charges of larceny by conver-
sion for his failure to return the
rented camping trailer to an
Ypsilanti firm,
Col. Frederick Davids, state po-
lice director and' coordinator of
the police- command center, said
he will extradite Manuel from any
state if the man is apprehended.
Manuel reportedly returned to
Michigan With Collins in July, but
moved out of his apartment July
24, the day after Beineman dis-
appeared.
Police described Manuel as be-'
ing six-feet tall, 200 pounds and
of Mexican-American descent. Of-
ficials said he has a tattoo, be-
lieved to be an eagle, on his left
arm. He has black, wavy hair.
EMU officials said yesterday
they did not have any records of
Manuel being in school there.
In addition to the Salinas mur-
ders, Michigan officials will in-
vestigate t h e death of Virginia
Smith, 12, of Claremont, Calif.,
for a possible connection with the
series of murders in the Ann Ar-
bor-Ypsilanti area.
Smith's body was found June
24 in a canyon. She had been
strangled, beaten and raped. Bein-
eman, found July 26 in a ravine,
also had been strangled, beaten
and raped.

Attorneys for accused mur-
derer John Norman Collins
reportedly will ask for a
change of venue for his trial.
Defense attorneys John Toomey

ppcted to ask for a change of
venue for Collins' preliminary ex-
amination, scheduled for Thurs-
day in the court of Ypsilanti Dis-
trict Judge Edward Deakes
Changes of venue for trials are
common but a change of venue
for the preliminary examination
would be a precedent.
Although Toomey and Francis
would not discuss their plans yes-
terday, they will probably charge
that adverse publicity detrimental
to Collins warrants a change in
location of the trial ,and the pre-
liminary examination.
At the examination, the prose-
cuting attorney presents evidence
to show that a crime has been
committed and that there are rea-
sonable grounds for believing the
defendant committed the crime.

William Delhey is expected to op-

PROTECTING 'IMPRESSIONABLE YOUTH'
City Council looks into pornography

P By DANIEL ZWERDLING
Daily News Analysis
Obscenity is an evil almost everyone
talks about-but few people can agree
just what it is.
In Ann Arbor, at least, obscenity has
become one of the most volatile social
issues. And the people who don't like it
say Ann Arbor's obscenity is the Argus
and the White Panther papers.
One White Panther leaflet alone
brought 400 angry, yelling citizens to
City Hall last month-including attorney
Jack Garris who called Panther literature
a "diabolical, political and psychological
plot to destroy the minds of our youths."
Irate citizens are mounting so much
pressure now that City Council may be
forced to pass ordinances clamping

find obscene? Sex, nudity and four-letter
words-which the councilman charges
all figure prominently in Argus and Pan-
ther literature.
"A typical picture in the Argus is a
male with his genital in a discernibly
turgid state," claims Stephenson, refer-
ring to illustrations in one recent article
on the Yippies.
A plethora of state statutes and city
ordinances already forbid the sale or
distribution of obscene materials, but
they are so vague and difficult to enforce
that advocates of a new law say they
don't do the job.
Statute Section 48, for example, pro-
hibits the sale or distribution of "any
obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy or inde-
cent sadistic or masochistic book, mag-
n~inp nnh~lpf n flflnnnplt'nn%,,non a~l

-the material is utterly without re-
deeming social value.
Few publications except the hardest
pornography fail the test-and "not even
the most vocal critics of (White Panther
and Argus literature) have contended
that these statements possessed any pru-
rient appeal," says City Attorney Jerold
Lax.
"It would not be impossible for a
court to find these obscene," says Lax.
"But prosecution would be difficult since
the White Panther and Argus papers are
artistic, or political."
But local obscenity critics may find
just the type of law they're looking for
in a New York statute-upheld last year
by the Supreme Court--which estab-
lishes different obscenity standards for
miinnr.c -I, h n fnr a Ai ii .

This is the type of ordinance Steph-
enson hopes to put soon on the Ann Ar-
bor books. Now, Michigan law defines
obscenity for minors only as sexual ma-
terial which "corrupts the morals of
youth"-a test which the Supreme Court
has ruled "unconstitutionally vague."
Further legislation, say some city of-
ficials, might raise more questions than
it would solve.
Councilmen aren t sure how they could
restrict sales of publications like the
Argus and Panther literature, for ex-
ample, without also prohibiting books
like "Catcher in the Rye," and magazines
like "Harper's"-which print the gamut of
sexually-oriented four-letter words.
Even now, local ordinances seem to
outlaw Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punish-

The protesters, led by Students
for a Democratic Society, were de-;
manding an immediate end to

recommended by the faculty.
When they took the building,'
the protesters ejected about 30
persons, including some deans and
other officials and said they would'
remain "until the cops came."
While the arrests Were being,
made, an estimated 400 students
stood outside the administration

Six of the 55 persons arrested
in the police action were women,
although the schoolenrolls only
males. Dartmouth has an under-
graduate enrollment of 3,100.
The 55 arrested protesters were
all charged with criminal con-
tempt, because they had defied an;
injunction issued by Grafton

quest of the trustees.
