Radical party gains slot
on ballot across state
The Human Rights-Radical In-
dependent P a r t y (HR-RIP) has
been assured a spot on the city's
April ballot and the state's Novem-
ber ballot following certification
of its petitions for a ballot posi-
tion by the Board of State Can-
vassers.
The party had submitted 21,160
signatures in October. Only 14,239
were required to secure a place
on the ballot.
HR-RIP is the union of the state-
wide Human Rights Party and the
locally based Radical Independent
Party, which ran candidates in a
write-in campaign for mayor and a
City Council seat in last year's
election.
Though RIP candidates fared
poorly then, observers believe the
party's chances are better now
that it has secured a ballot posi-
tion. In addition, HR-RIP is ex-
pected to attract a. large segment
of the newly enfranchised 18-21-
year-old bloc of voters.
HR-RIP has held to a radical
platform, advocating community
control of police, increased day
care facilities for the city, and
low cost housing. In addition, it
has strongly opposed the city's
proposed flat rate income tax.
The party is expected to run
candidates in races in all of the
city's wards this April. However,
it will choose its candidates
through a party caucus, not
through the usual Febrary pri-
mary.
The Socialist Labor Party also
received certification at the same
time as HR-RIP. The two parties
will join the Republican, Demo-
cratic and American Independent
parties on the state's November
ballot.

Residency in
city wards
not required
By DAVE BURHENN
The one-year ward residen-
cy requirement for Ann Ar-
bor City Council candidates
was ruled unconstitutional on
December 30 by U.S. District
Court Judge Lawrence Gra-
bow. The decision stipulated
that the requirement violated
the equal protection clause of
the constitution.
It is now possible for an Ann
Arbor resident to run for a city
office without having to live in
one ward for a year prior to regis-
tration for candidacy.
However, while it appears that
this ruling may make it easier
for students, who are more mo-
bile than most groups in the popu-
lation, to run for office, a bar still
exists to prospective candidates

ENEMY ATTACKS IN SOUTH VIETNAM rose to the high-

in Indochina parallels the Tet offensive of 1968 and comes at the

most of the country's power in the prime minister, gave no power to
the president without the prime minister's consent, and established

Cinema II drops suit
By CHARLES STEIN
Charges brough against the Or-
son Welles Film Society by Cine-
ma II were withdrawn by Cinema
II representatives last month be-
fore the scheduled pre-trial hear-
ing with Central Student Judiciary
(CSJ).
Cinema II, an established cam-
pus film group, had charged Or-
son Welles with illegally using
Cinema II's name to obtain the
movie "Woodstock". The distribu-
tor of the film had previously can-
celled its contract with Orson
Welles for earlier contract viola-
tions.
Cinema II claims that as a re-
sult of the actions taken by Orson
Welles, the film distributor had
demanded payment in advance for
future Cinema II films, as the dis-
tributor assumed that Cinema II
was merely a front organization
for Orson Welles.
Previously Cinema II had been
able to order its movies without
prior payment.
According to Steve Rosen, a
member of the Cinema II organi-
zation, the group did not have
enough time to adequately pre-
pare its case against Orson Welles
at the end of the fall term, so
the case was withdrawn "without
prejudice."
Rosen feels that there is no need
to resubmit the charges since Or-
son Welles' position as a recog-
nized student organization expired
December 23. Cinema II says it
has straightened out its situation
with the film distributor, and was
able to obtain the film "Bonnie
and Clyde" without advance pay-
ment.
The recent complaint against
Orson Welles is only one in a
series of charges that have been
levelled against the organization.
Earlier in the year, Orson Welles
was charged with harassing other
film groups, operating for a profit
signing for an auditorium under
an assumed name and obtaining a
film without the distributor's con-
sent.
Its former president, Arthur
Maurello, is also under indictment
in a civil court for stealing some
$2000 worth of film equipment
from the University.
In response to these charges.
the Student Government Council
took action against Orson Welles
at their October 27 meeting. The
council voted to appoint a com-
mittee to jointly administer the
group's financial records and ac-
counts and stipulated that any
remaining funds be passed on to
SGC to purchase film equipment
for student use.

gan branch needs to revise its
list of accredited delegates to
the party's summer convention
in Miami.
The national delegates now
representing M i c h i g a n were
chosen in 1968. Thus, if new
members are not chosen this
year, the Michigan delegation to
the convention could be chal-
lenged and subsequently unseat-
ed.
Currently, elected precinct
delegates participate in local
and statewide conventions that
choose delegates to the national
conventions. Generally, those
delegates support a slate of can-
didates who have been hand-
picked by party leaders.
The plan offered by Milliken
would take the following form:
Some time in March, Secre-
tary of State Richard Austin
would post a list of persons that
national media coverage sug-
gests are generally considered
presidential candidates.
All would be permitted a per-
iod of time, perhaps two weeks,
to file their intention to appear
on the Michigan ballot. They
also would be required to post
lists of convention delegates and
alternates supporting them.
The election would be held on
two levels. Voters would pick
their favorite candidate and also
a slate of party members pledg-
ed to vote for that candidate at
the summer nominating conven-
tion..
Tabulation would be based on
how each candidate and his
slate fared in each of the state's
19 Congressional districts.
Thus, if President Nixon car-
ried Rep. Gerald Ford's Grand
Rapids district, he would count
on those delegates at the San
Diego convention.
Similarly, if Edmund Muskie
carried the Detroit District of
U.S. Rep. Martha Griffiths, he
would be ensured of the support
of that area's delegates at the

Students caught buying papers
fail course, draw 'probation'
*'
SHOP NOW!
SHOP COMFORTABLY!
By DANIEL JACOBS
Two University students who
submitted identical papers pur-
chased from a commercial paper
writing company last term have
been placed on disciplinary pro-
bation for one year, and have
received failing grades in the
course in question.
The punishment resulted from
a decision of the LSA Adminis-
trative Board which ruled that
the purchase of such commer-
cial papers is a form of pla-
giarism.
The maximum penalty for
plagiarism is expulsion from the
University.
Eugene Nissen, Administrative
Board secretary, said that "dis-
ciplinary probation" meant that
future infractions would war-
rant more severe action.
In addition, he noted, the pla-
giarism charge will appear on
the students' permanent aca-
demic record, unless they can
successfully petition the Uni-
versity to have it removed upon
their graduation.
One of the students involved
cited "personal problems" as a
motivation for turning to a pa-
per - writing service, while the
other refused to comment.
Shortly before the board's rul-
ing, the manager of Write-On
Term Papers Inc., where the
papers were allegedly pur-
chased, claimed the incident
had resulted from "deliberate
sabotage" by a rival company.
In summation of the discipli-
nary action, LSA Dean Frank
Rhodes said, "The Administra-
tive Board of the College, in
continuing to act in such mat-
ters concerning academic dis-
cipline, expects that each mem-
ber of the academic commun-
ity will maintain the highest
standards of integrity in the
pursuit of knowledge. The board
will continue to discipline indi-
viduals wherever a breach of
this academic honesty is estab-
lished."
