' weaker e ergy bi M 3; WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter, expressing "great personal satisfaction," signed a weakened ver- sion of his energy plan into law yester- day after an 18-month political struggle with Congress. "We have acquitted ourselves well as a nation," Carter declared at a White House signing ceremony. IN THE EAST ROOM, crowded with congressmen and other dignitaries, Carter said publicly what ad-' ministration officials have been saying privately since the 95th Congress passed the compromise plan on Oct. 15: The plan is bound to change. "As problems evolve we will ask Congress to modify the bill," the president said. "Today we can right- fully claim that we have a conscious national policy for dealing with energy problems." He said the energy plan will enable the United States to save 21/2 million barrels of oil per day by 1985. "This is not as great as the original goal, but it is a substantial basis on which to predicate future achievements," he added. LATER, AT A NEWS conference in Kansas City, Mo., where he went to ad- dress a Future Farmers of America convention, Carter said the new law is only 65 per cent of what he wanted since his plan would have saved an estimated 41/2 million barrels of oil a day by 1985. "But I have not given up on, my original proposal that there should be a constraint on the excessive consum- ption of oil and the excessive impor- tation of oil," he said. "How we go about that I don't know yet." He said passage of the plan was "one of the most difficult legislative tasks that Congress has ever under- taken-possibly in the history of the country." THE PLAN IS much weaker than the proposal Carter submitted to Congress in what he called the "moral equivalent of war." But he said it encompasses his three main principles: efficient use of energy; incentives to spur production of available energy supplies; and a shift to more abundant supplies of energy, such as coal and solar energy. While the bill provides tax credits to consumers for various energy conser- vation steps, it also is expected to in- crease costs for natural gas users. There is disagreement on how much. Carter said it will. "guarantee con- sumers increased supplies with more predictable and moderate price in- creases." OPPONENTS OF deregulating natural gas prices have claimed it will transfer $200 billion from consumers to proaucers over the next seven yea They say that could mean increas averaging $100 to $200 a year for typii families who heat with natural gas. Deregulation supporters concede g prices will increase, but say it will closer to $20 a year for the avers family. Natural gas prices will be allowed rise by about 10 per cent annually ur 1985 when price lids will be remo\ from most natural gas. In the mei time, price controls will be extended the first time to intrastate gas. Other features of the new law elude; -Taxpayers may claim a tax cre of 15 per cent on the first $2,000 spent home insulation, storm doors, sto windows and other energy-savi equipment, up to a total credit of $3 The credit applies to purchases ma as far back as April 20, 1977, the d Carter, submitted his energy propos to Congress. -New cars that get poor gasol mileage will be taxed, beginning v 1980 models getting less than 15 mi per gallon. By 1986, the tax will apply cars getting less than 23.5 miles gallon and will range from $400 $3,850. -New energy efficiency standa will be set for home applianc Utilities will have to offer consum help in insulating homes and arranging financing for such : provements. Home insulation gra will be available for low inco families, schools and hospitals.

Prop D 0 Return to Prohibition Beicher advocates Bar managers doubt effective enforcement lenient li By JULIE ROVNER With Prohibiton soon to be a reality for Michigan's 18 to 20-year-olds, con- cerned local and state legislators are working to soften the potential penalties for violation of new alcohol statutes. If all goes as planned, Ann Arborites in the newly-affected age group will be facing penalties as lenient for drinking as they now are for smoking marijuana. ANN ARBOR Mayor Louis Belcher said yesterday he has asked the city at- torney to look into the possibility of passing a city ordinance to de- criminalize possession of alcohol for 18 to 20-year-olds, who will be cut off when the newly-passed Proposal D goes into effect next month. Belcher's request came in the wake of a similar move by the city council in East Lansing, Michigan's other major college town. Officials yesterday or- dered that city's attorney to draw up an ordinance whcih would make possession of alcohol by 18 to 20-year- olds a civil rather than a criminal of- fense. Belcher said he was very upset with the passage of the proposal, which could severely hurt many of the cam- quor laws' pus bars which cater to un- dergraduates. Since the bars are regulated by the state, however, he didn't see much that the city could do to help them. "WHAT WE'RE, trying to find out now is how we can best minimize the damage," Belcher said. "I'm not con- cerned as much about the bars as I am about kids getting canned on a criminal charge for possession of beer." When Proposal D goes into effect, both Ann Arbor and East Lansing will be in the awkward position of having more severe penalties for possession of alcohol than for marijuana. The proposal, which was defeated by a better than two-to-one margin in Ann Arbor, does not specifically state penalties, so the state legislature will probably take up the issue of im- plementation legislation when it goes back into session on November 14. "WE'RE GOING to draft legislation which will aim for civil penalties for possession and consumption for 18 to 20- year-old," said Ann Arbor State Rep. Perry Bullard. Bullard noted, however, that the timing couldn't be much worse. "After all, the voters just approved raising the See BELCHER, Page 2 By ELISA ISAACSON The implications of Proposal D are causing confusion among bar owners and legal experts alike. Most people say they will hold off worrying until the amendment is challenged in federal court, as predic- ted by anti-proposal spokespersons. DON CISCO'S manager Bill Marzonie said he plans to continue to allow 18- year-olds into the disco. "Eighteen is the age of majority," he pointed out. "It has nothing to do with drinking." However, Scott Lange, a law student at the University's Legal Aid Service, said 'he thinks the new amendment would overrule the state public ac- commodation law, which forbids public establishments to discriminate against any segment of the population. Lange points out that nightclubs have always been allowed to bar young children from entering. Dooley's manager Bob Storer says he has not given much though to the im- plications of the amendment on the popular student watering hole. He did say if 18-year-olds were allowed into the bar, "it would be impossible to stop them from drinking - all they would have to do is have someone else buy it for them." SECOND CHANCE owner John Car- ver said his management is going to "hang in there and see how it's going to affect us." Carver said the nightclub/restaurant plans to keep its doors open for 18- to 20- year-olds, distinguishing them from those legally allowed to drink by stam- ping of hands, but added he does not understand how the authorities will be able to enforce the law once the patrons are inside the club. Most of the local bars are reluctant to go into details on their plans for future renovations in policy and decor, "We have until December to decide," said one Dooley's employee. A FEW PLACES are considering raising the prices of cokes, in order to make up for the lost revenue from cocktails. Marzonie speculated Don Cisco's will be hitting soda guzzlers for a dollar a throw. The disco manager also said he does not feel the amendment will have any great effect on the nightclub. "Don Cisco's isn't really going to do anything," Marzonie stated.

New sex center to stimulate A2 Hpo s Daily Photo by BRAD BENJAMIl Hooks: Nation apathetic toward urban problems By AMY SALTZMAN In Poona, India, the center is sometimes referred to as "Fantasy Island," a "mystical and heavenly" place overgrown with lush greenery, where people can live out their sexual fatasies, dreams, and sometimes their nightmares. Similar centers have been set up in cities across the United States and now, with the recent arrival of "Sex Guru" Swami Prem Amido, Ann Arborites have their own "Fantasy Island"'-bet- ter known as the Sat Dharma Rajneesh Meditation Center, located at 3522-2 Pheasant Run Circle. THE ANN ARBOR center is based on the philosophy and teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, an Indian "Sex Guru" who runs the center in Poona. According to the guru, people in the West cannot "get it together" spiritually because they repress sex. One must experience those sexual fantasies that have been repressed, he explained. "To go beyond sex, you must go though it." Amido feels that a major problem in Western society is that people tend to put off their fantasies. "MEN ARE LOOKING for magic pussy, women are looking for ultimate orgasm," he explained. "Fantasies are usually better than reality, but people have to learn to enjoy the sex they are having now-they have to realize that this is going to be the best sex they ever had and that's it." Tantra, the Eastern yoga-like technique of learning inner awareness, is the primary method used to achieve this greater -sexual understanding and satisfaction. The basic idea behind the use of Tan- tra, the guru explains, is to create "a loving accepting space, where for three days participants can discover and ex- perience the conditioning and taboos they have about their own bodies and their physical relationships with others." ONE OF THE TANTRA methods he utilizes in his sessions is to have a couple sit naked for 40 minutes just looking at each other. "By doing this they become mpre in touch with what they are doing sexually," said the guru. Although Amido said he would like the center in Ann Arbor to be just like See SEX, Page 9 By RON GIFFORD Special to the Daily DETROIT - Lack of human concern lies .at the heart of the urban crisis, NAACP Director Benjamin Hooks told a group of 560 people yesterday after- noon at the Radisson-Cadillac Hotel. Delivering the keynote address at the 66th Conference on the Michigan League for Human Services, Hooks said the technology exists to remedy the problems of the nation's urban cen- ters, but leaders lack the will to solve them. Congress is especially apathetic, Hooks charged. "Congress has no large vision or spirit, but rather is possessed with a poverty of spirit. Bills for human progress and needs are debated and, amended out of shape. Concessions f these bills are made grudgingly, wi no concern," Hooks told the group. "They.think of the affected people figures and per cents, rather than individuals with dreams, hopes at goals. They tend to forget that they a dealing with finite human beings." As director of the oldest civil righ organization in the world, Hooks said feels deep-seated racism still exists this country. He cited the recent o slaught of tax reform proposals, su as Proposition 13 and the Tisch a Headlee amendments, as proof racial prejudice.
