Police Stickers Provoke Debate
By JEFFREY GOODMAN
Links between the John Birch
Society and city endorsement of I
a "Support Your Local Police"
Q R T sticker campaign have stirred the
ire of numerous city officials and
councilmen in the past few weeks.
The issue started quietly when
the city b e g a n distributing,
through the police department,
three - inch - square stickers that
had been donated by a local cit-
izens' group, the Washtenaw
County Conservatives. The police
stickers were available from the
police only during National Po-
ry}"}<}{' lice Week in May.
SinceMay, however, the Chain-
ber of Commerce has mailed the
blue squares to local businessmen,1
and the stickers have adorned
many a store window both down-
town and in the campus area.
Birch Bulletin
About two months ago an Ann
Arbor citizen obtained copies of
arreprint from the Birch Society
bulletin which carried an exact
replica of the sticker and out-
lined the Birchers' reasons for the
police support campaign. The
motivation was essentially that
the police need citizen support in
-----.-----__..._......__----.--_. their fight against a "Communist
conspiracy" and "Communist-in-
spired racial riots."
ake W A H R uThe bulletin reprint also gave
M akH'S Oinformation on where the stickers
could be obtained. The president
of the Conservatives did not
know, however, from whom his
group had received the stickers.

argument was twofold: that the
city had been taken in unwittingly
in endorsing a Birch campaign
and that the stickers were objec-
® .tionable by themselves, since they
call for "blanket and unqualified"
support of the police.
Rights Issue
The police stickers incident re-
ceived its importance primarily
from current contentions among
local civil rights groups that the
police have at times used ques-
tionable or even brutal tactics in
race. Those opposed to the stick-
ers felt that city endorsement of
the stickers was especially indis-
creet at a time when these allega
Lions were being made.
Regents Set
Outlay Bid
TO Lansing
The Regents packed up and
sent off to Lansing this summer a
$14 million request for construe-
1965-66.
The program for next year
seeks to build and maintain fa-
cilities for training potential doc-
tors, architects, residential college
students and scientists.
The $14 million program, sub-
mitted to the Regents by Vice-
President' for Business and Fi-
nance Wilbur K. Pierpont now
goes to the governor and Legis-
lature where it is expected to be
heavily slashed.
Specifically, the Regents are
asking for $6.3 million in general
education facilities and nearly $8
million for medical center facili-
ties, including remodeling.
To train potential doctors, the
construction r e q u e s t s include
nearly $7 million to continue work
on the Medical Science Bldg.,
Unit II and the dentistry building.
Hoping to start the residential
college by 1968, the Regents have
given high priority to an under-
graduate classroom and office
building. Price tag: $2 million.
For the potential architect, the
Regents have placed a $1.5 mil-
lion request to start construction
on a college of architecture and
design building which would go
ofnt on North Campus.
The scientist is also represented
in the building program. The Re-
gents are asking $275,000 for a
Science Building Unit I, $200,000
for a math and computer center
and $175,000 for a chemistry
building.
