Chicfidiigan Ninety Years of Editorial Freedom 1Eail I f r~I Vol. LXXXX, No. 34 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, October 14, 1979 Ten Pages plus Supplement A drug users: Most don't face By MITCH CANTOR Last in a four-part series (Editor's note: All those identified by first name only requested anonymity.) "There's an awful lot of damn young kids using this trash and, you know, they're too young to make a reasonable judgment, whether or not it's good or bad for them. It's just fun, and it's peer pressure, and if happens to be in vogue at the' time, and it gets them in trouble." -Dick Meloche, Office Commander of the Washtenaw Area Narcotics Team Pot law lenient, rarely enforced It's no secret that attitudes about drug law enforcement in Ann Arbor are more relaxed than those in most other parts of the country. The city's somewhat liberal position, while not strikingly different from that of most college towns, is especially exemplified by its lenient $5 fine for marijuana possession or use. Aside from sporting such a light penalty for pot possession, enforcement of that statute is fairly rare, according to users. WHILE ANN Arbor's $5 pot law doesn't specify a maximum amount, persons caught with large amounts may be prosecuted for selling marijuana, in which case they would face the state law. The penalties for selling marijuana include four years in prison and/or a $2,000 fine - "I think enforcement for pot is nil. I think most policemen will just say to put it out," said Dave, a University senior and pot smoker. Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny admits that marijuana is not the prime target for drug enforcement in the city. "We're not aiming at pot in particular. We're aiming at the other hard drugs - cocaine, heroin, LSD, speed," Krasny said. WHILE IT is difficult to gauge the level of enforcement, state drug laws often provide reason for drug merchan- I ts to keep on their toes. Most drugs used around campus fall under the state Controlled Substances Act. Under the law, possession of marijuana or hashish calls for penalties of not more than a year in prison, or not punishment more than $1,000. Sale of these drugs subjects the convict to up to four years imprisonment and/or a $2,000 fine. LSD, COCAINE, phencyclidine, and heroin all fall into the same category. The penalties for the sale or possession of these drugs include: * 650 grams (23.2 oz) or more: im- prisonment for life; " 225 grams (8 oz.)-650 grams: not less than 20 nor more than 30 years; " 50 grams (1.8 oz.)-225 grams: not less than 10 years nor more than 20 years in prison or life probation. For less than 50 grams, delivery can mean a jail term of up to 20 years See A2, Page 7 P assing-up continues ,,despite protests By TIMOTHY YAGLE and LORENZO BENET Despite new efforts to put a halt to the passing of people up the stands at Michigan Stadium, another University student was injured at yesterday's game as a result of that practice. , Ann Arbor Police officials would not disclose the nature or extent of the student's injury, but indicated that the woman, who had been sitting in section 35, refused treatment from a paramedic and was not taken to ay hospital. BEFORE THE game, 12 members of the A.M.A.Z.O.N. collective (the acronym has no meaning), a, group created to fight the practice which has resulted in several injuries this season, demonstrated in front of the Athletic Department office at State and Hoover. Although athletic department of- ficials posted signs, and several an- nouncements were made during the See PASSING-UP, Page 7 KBlue survives Gopherdye, Daily Photo by MAUREEN O'MALL MICHIGAN TAILBACK BUTCH WOOLFOLK (24) runs for short yardage yesterday in the Wolverines' 31-21 victory over Minnesota. The speedy sophomore picked up 194 yards on 24 carries as the Blue offense rolled up a total of over 500 yards. By DAN PERRIN By the looks of the scoreboard, Michigan ap- peared to have yesterday's football game all but wrapped up at halftime, leading Min- nesota by a margin of 24-7. But a dogged Golden Gopher team came from nowhere with a pair of second-half tallies to pull within three points before back-up Michigan tailback Butch Woolfolk's 41-yard touchdown run gave the Wolverines a 31-21 victory. The win, witnessed by 104,677 EY 'Michigan Stadium patrons, was the fourth consecutive triumph for the 5-1 Wolverines. Their 3-0 conference record keeps them on top of the Big Ten alongside arch-rival Ohio State, which handily whipped former "co-leader In- diana 47-6 yesterday. MICHIGAN AMASSED impressive offensive totals of 25 first downs and 537 total yards,'on the day, 456 of which. came on the ground. Minnesota coun- tered with a potent air attack as Gopher quarterback Mark Carlson threw the de ball an astounding 51 times. est Carlson completed 27 of those throws ry en- in- - ip- ed est- 45 ar- nd 7 ith 89 Cot 121 for 339 yards, by far the most the Blue secondary has given up all year. The Michigan defense stopped the Min- nesota running game cold, though, holding highly-touted tailback Marion Barber to just 38 yards on the day. The Gophers could muster only 29 net yards rushing on the day. Woolfolk and senior fullback Lawrence Reid were the prime movers of the Wolverine offense as both had their best days ever in Michigan uniforms. Woolfolk sprinted for 194 yards on the day while Reid also set the controls at full throttle, rushing for 179 yards against the Gophers. Woolfolk, who, played the whole second half in place of starter Stanley Edwards, set the tone with long touch- down jaunts of 58 and 41 yards. Reid, meanwhile, countered with a one-yard dive and a one-yard pass reception as the pair accounted for all four Michigan touchdowns. Both credited the improved offensive line with enabling them to perform so admirably. "THE OFFENSIVE line was doing the job for me," said Reid. "Anybody could've run through those holes. You could drive a truck through' there and bring Coca-Cola bottles." "I'm very happy," said Woolfolk. FIRST TEST A GAINS T KENNED Y: Carter ahead in Fla. caucuses From AP and Reuter MIAMI-President Carter stretched his lead over Sen. Edward Kennedy (D- Main) - yesterday in Florida's Democratic county caucuses by cap- turing many small counties and run- ning close in Kennedy's Miami stronghold. Unofficial results showed Carter with 518 delegates, Kennedy with 291, and labor candidates with 39; uncommitted and others, 31. WHITE HOUSE press secretary Jody Powell described Carter as "very pleased." Carter's campaign manager, Jay Hakes, claimed victory in the late af- ternoon based on the results of surveys his campaign workers took at caucuses. Hakes also claimed victory in the Miami area-a feat he and the Kennedy campaigners had agreed beforehand world be a "knockout punch" for the president. The Florida primary had been regar- ded as an important test for Carter because it pitted him for the first time against his arch Democratic party rival, Kennedy. F NEITHER CARTER nor the senator have as yet officially declared them- selves in the presidential race. Carter has said he would do so on December 4 and Kennedy's followers expect him to declare by the end of November. A victory in Florida was considered crucial for Carter because the next major test will be the February New Hampshire primary, an area where Kennedy is strong. The Florida campaign focused on the election of 879 delegates to the mid- November Democratic State Conven- tion. They'll join 838 other delegates, including party leaders, elected of- ficials and their appointees, to vote in a non-binding presidential straw ballot. AT STAKE IN the caucuses and straw ballot is nothing more than atten- tion from the press and public. Florida's delegates to the 1980 Democaratic National Convention in New York will be chosen in the state's March 11 presidential primary. Nevertheless, the caucuses and straw ballot may have a psychological effect on the national political scene, in part because of the interest that developed after Kennedy (D-Mass.) hinted strongly in September that he would challenge Carter. With hundreds of names on the ballot in the larger counties, party of- ficials estimated it could be days before official results are tallied in some areas. BUT AN UNOFFICIAL; Associated Press survey of most voters leaving caucuses in four of Florida's largest counties indicated Carter and Kennedy in a dead heat in Miami and Tampa, a Carter sweep in Jacksonville and a Kennedy victory in Fort Lauderdale. The four counties-Dade, Hillsborough,. Broward and Duval-elect 394 delegates, but there was no way to conclude from the poll how manyeach side had won. In Miami and surrounding Da County, which has the large delegation with 188, the AP surve showed 1,727 for Carter, 1,672, for Ke nedy, 688 for the labor slate thati cluded both Carter and Kennedy su porters and 187 who were uncommitt or refused to answer. IN THE TAMPA area, the cont( over Hillsborough County's delegates drew 740 Democrats for Ce ter, 796 for Kennedy, 586 for labor a 220 uncommitted or not responding. In Broward County, Kennedy led wi 2,054 for his slate, 960 for Carter's, 6 for labor's and 411 uncommitted or n responding. See BLUE, Page 9 Mayor pushes pinball ordinance By PATRICIA HAGEN The small silver bounced off a bumper, sparking a chaotic outburst of bells, horns, and flashing lights. Oblivious to his surroundings, the player's expfession changed from frustration to exhilaration as the score box tallied higher and higher numbers. At the game's end, he reached into his pocket, dropped another quarter into the coin slot, and pulled the lever again. This picture was repeated all over the darkened arcade, as others lined up to take their -turns playing pinball, foosball, and electronic games. BUT CONCERN over problems resulting from loitering and crime out- side of some of Ann Arbor's pinball ar- cades has led Mayor Louis Belcher to propose an ordinance to license pinball arcade owners and to restrict their hours of operation. The proposed ordinance passed its first reading at the October 1 City Council meeting by a 10-1 vote. If coun- cil approves the ordinance again tomorrow, it will become law. But since the first reading, coun- cilmembers and owners of some of the city's pinball arcades have raised both questions and doubts about the need for the ordincne and whether it can be ef- fectively enforced. ACCORDING TO the proposed or- dinance, establishments with five or more coin-operated game machines must close between 12 and 7 a.m. The ordinance will not require businesses already licensed by the state to sell alcoholic beverages to purchase separate pinball licenses. But other machine owners will be forced to pay $50 to license their operations. At the October 1 meeting, Belcher said he proposed the ordinance because of drug traffic, prostitution and assaults-"violent things . . . worse than rowdyism"-at the establishmen- ts. Belcher said the city's pinball arcade owners have been asked to police their own establishments, but "obviously they're not going to do it. It's the responsibility of government to police them." ANN ARBOR Police Chief Walter Krasny said Friday, "We did have some problems in the summertime."

Hospital sources said Giacolone would probably remain in the cardiac intensive care unit for about a week while he is tested to see if he needs a coronary bypass. He suffered a heart attack two weeks ago while en route to Bay City from federal prison to face loan sharking charges. City police say only immediate family members are authorized to visit Giacolone's skeptical. They say that fitting the birds with the lenses will take too much time and labor. Maybe they should try a less expensive option-glasses. A shrouded mystery The word is out-the Shroud of Turin (below), the same shroud that allegedly enveloped the body of Jesus Christ, is definitely not a hoax. So say some scientists who are, studying the 2,000-year-old cloth. But before you get too ex- cited about the news, the same scientists say they have not yet proved the shroud was Christ's burial cloth. Some people say an image imprinted on the cloth may be the outline of Christ's body, and although scientists are unable to prove that the image was created by a body, they have ruled out the possibility that it was done with dyes or paint. Chemist Diane Soran also says she may soon be able to prove that through analysis that the red-colored stain is blood. The shroud has been housed in a Roman Catholic chapel in Turin, Italy for the past 400 years. F i 1 ;,
