Milliken charges federal gas goals unfair to state The Michigan Daily-Saturday, December 8, 1979-Page 3 - Who, promotersface $27 million lawsuit From UPI and AP Federal energy officials may be wrongfully penalizing Michigan by setting an 11 per cent gasoline reduction goal for the state during the fir- st three months of 1980, Gov. William Milliken said yesterday in Lansing. That goal - announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Energy - compares with a national overall reduction goal of five per cent. "THERE ARE preliminary indications of flaws in the figures upon which the federal goals were based," Milliken said. "I have therefore directed my staff to thoroughly review the goals im- mediately and to meet with federal energy of- ficials to assure that Michigan is treated equitably.", The governor said the state motorists cut con- sumption nine per cent during September and Oc- tober. "We, of course, will continue to do our utmost to conserve energy," Milliken said. '"But because the energy shortage is a national problem, all states should be expected to take equally strong measures to reduce their energy consumption." MEANWHILE, in Washington yesterday, the Energy Department proposed a standby gasoline rationing plan that would divide available supplies among the states in proportion to their past gasoline consumption. THe plan, subject to revision and then congressional review, could be activated by the president in any national gasoline shortage of at least 20 per cent lasting 30 days or longer. The department provided no official estimates of the impact of its plan either on states or on in- dividual motorists. But a department source, declining to be identified, estimated unofficially that a 20 per cent general shortage probably would mean a cutback of roughly one-third in the, gasoline available to the typical motorist. That's because some of the available gasoline would first be set aside in state and federal reser- ves for discretionary distribution to hardship cases, and some would go into extra rations for essential services, farming and business.

The first legal action stemming from Monday's tragedy asks $1.1 million for each of the eleven killed and fourteen injured. ATTORNEY Arnold MOrelli, who filed the suit in Hamilton County Com- mon Pleas Court, said he wants to go to court as soon as possible. "There are a lot of strong feelings, about what happened. I want the case to be heard while the memory of the event is still fresh in everyone's mind," Morelli explained. The accident Monday occurred when fans of The Who, waiting outside River- front Coliseum, surged forward to get the best seats, trampling those in front. An autopsy showed the eleven person died of suffocation. THE SUIT was filed on behalf of Todd Volkman, .18, who the suit said was among those hospitalized following the stampede. Named as defendants were Who per- formers Roger Daltrey, Peter Town- shend, John Entwhistle, and Kenny Jones; Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum and Albert Heekin III, statutory agent for the coliseum; Electric Factory Concerts, Inc., of Philadelphia. promoters of the concert; and Cal Levy, their Cincinnati agent. The suit alleges the defendants negligently sold 14,000 to 15,000 general admission tickets for The Who concert "when they knew or should have known that the sale of such seating constituted a clear danger of physical peril to the ticketholders." - Funeral services for the eleven vic- tims of Monday's tragedy were held Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, a special city task force yesterday considered stricter regulations for future concerts. The panel, appointed by Cincinnati City Manager Sylvester Murray, in- cludes two students, a security specialist, a lawyer and the director of a rock radio station. Quick action was expected by the City Council on two proposed ordinances to ban general admission seating and give police full authority over crowd control at future events. , if an officer is ormation on an e officer will be 24-hours-a-day' ry information seconds.

Longer- range benefits include informing patrolpersons when they will be in court, what information they will need, and what information can be released during trials. Hawkins, who "did all of the battling with the state" to obtain the com puter, said the system will not be infallible at first, but once the officers gain ex- perience in using it, they will find it easier to use. "We'll make mistakes," Hawkins said. "But the more expertise we gain, the fewer mistakes we'll make." Hawkins said he began pushing for the computer 11 years ago because "everything was done by hand in this department." The delay in purchasing resulted from a lack of funds and "no level of expertise to operate it," he said. The city will contribute about $10,000 for the computer with the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Ad- ministration paing the balance, accor- ding to Hawkins. ,. .4' , *4 4'.

Sun.: Ophuls' LE PLAISAR i By- JOHN GOYER University Law School Prof. Harry Edwards, nominated Wednesday to the federal Court of Appeals in Washington,, said last night he approaches the job knowing that good decisions take a lot of time and effort. Edwards' nomination by President Carter to the appeals court, the highest rung on the judicial ladder before the Supreme Court, still must be confirmed by the Senate. "I DON'T THINK:you go in with any specific, personal goals," Edwards said yesterday. "I think you go in under- standing your responsibility" to make careful judgements. "The main thing you have to be careful to do is to be conscientious about your work," he said. It's too easy, he said, to get bogged down in some cases and neglect others. Providing Edwards' nomination to the Appeals Court is confirmed, when he arrives in Washington he will face a problem often plaguing judges: too many cases crowding the docket. EDWARDS SAID the Court of Ap- peals caseload is up 40 per cent since the beginning df the year, due in large part to anincrease in the number of cases involving federal regulatory agencies. Edwards said he was nominated to fill one vacancy on the court, while another position also is being created in attempts to east the court's workload. "I don't have any concerns about my energy to work," Edwards said. "AS TO whether the work of two in- dividuals will be enough to make a dif- ference, that remains to be seen. I cer- tainly hope so," he added. Edwards received his undergraduate "degree from Cornell University in 1962 and went on to earn a law degree from the University in 1965. After practicing law in Chicago, Ed- wards came to teach at the University's Law School in 1970. Since then, he has left Ann Arbor twice to teach at other institutions: at Harvard University law school from 1975 to 1977, and at the Free University of Brussels in Brussels, Belgium in the Winter of 1974. Edwards is a specialist in labor law and arbitration, and belongs to the National Academy of Labor, the American Arbitration Association, and a number of American Bar Association committees. He said last night he would have to tone down his activities with legal organizations if he joins the appeals court, to conform with judges' respon- sibility to be impartial. Revived Honors Student Council adopts charter l CINEMA GUILD TONIGHT AT' 7:00 & 9:03 OLD ARCH. AUD. $1.50 I jPLd~U~ t'qm~4~ w 0 By STEVE PRICE The Honors Student Council adopted a charter Thursday night, explaining the group's goals and reasons for existence and outlined procedures for conduct of business. The Council, organized this fall after a lapse of several years, "shall be primarily an advisory group aiding the director (of the Honors Council, Philosophy Prof. Jack Meiland) in maintaining an effective Honors Program." And it "must seek to develop all areas of the program, both at the underclas and the upperclas levels," according to the newly-adopted charter drafted by LSA junior David Hanelsman. MEMBERSHIP IN the council is open to all honors students who par- ticipate in a committee of the council and attend three consecutive council meetings. A five-member cabinet is responsible for chairing weekly meetings, recording minutes, and ac- ting as official representatives of the council. The council will elect a new cabinet at the third council meeting of each academic year. Jack Meiland, in his first year as Honors Council chairman, says he will take the student council's suggestions and recommendations for im- provements "very seriously." Council members said they aim to improve communication between honors students and the director. The council announced plans to make recommendations for improvement in the program, and to distribute infor- mation about the program to current and prospective honors students. IN THE PAST, most of the relevant honors information has been relayed primarily through word-of-mouth. The council is in the process of writing a handbook compiling all the special in- formation an honors student needs to know. The council also will be working to broaden the program's base next term by sending invitations to the program to selected prospective freshpersons. In addition, members plan to draw up a list of honors students living in dorms who are willing to receive visiting high school seniors to let them "get a taste of what it's about," said cabinet member and LSA senior Alan Jaffe. - Meiland and members of the council are encouraging students to join it and make it more representative and effec- tive. The next council meeting will be Jan. 17 at 1017 Angell Hall. presents SATURDAY NO COVER! the-cunt t nfipabto 1140 South University G.
