charged a speaker at the Black
Political Seminar's conference on
blacks in prison yesterday after-
noon.
The speaker, a member of the
Detroit chapter of the National
Committee to Free Political Pri-
soners, said that blacks are "deal-
ing with a computer" when con-
fronting law enforcement agencies,
and that the Army, schools and
prisons all serve to remove blacks
from a position of effectiveness in
society.

member Arlene Griffin received
word yesterday that the National
People's Coalition for Peace and
Justice (PCPJ) will sponsor her as
a delegate to a three-day confer-
ence in Paris on the Indochinese
war.
Griffin will be one of 75 Ameri-
can delegates attending the "Paris
World Assembly for the Peace and
Independence of the Indochinese
People," which will begin Friday.
Griffin's request for an alloca-
tion from SGC t~o attend the con-
ference was turned down by the
body at its Thursday night meet-
ing.
The conference plans to include
reports on the war, discussion of
the automated battlefield, talks
with North Vietnamese delegates
and national caucuses to plan fu-
ture anti-war actions.
Griffin said yesterday, "The
horrors of the war should be put
back in the headlines so that
people won't forget that there's
a war going on."
PCPJ decided to sponsor her,
Griffin said, because Ann Arbor
has been a center for anti-war
activity in the past years.

ber of the Black ,Political Semin-
ar and a former prisoner who lead
known George Jackson, author and
black revolutionary slain by pri-
son guards at San Quentin prison
last summer.
Stephens, who co-ordinated the
meeting, spoke of his prison exper-
iences, saying Jackson was respon-
sible for changing his political out-
look.
Stephens also spoke on what tie
called the dehumanizing aspects
of the prison system, describing
the "corruption" in the parole sys-
tem, and the "ineffectiveness" of
the rehabilitation program -
which teaches such trades as book-
binding and maintenance work.
He gave a chronological account
of his own induction into prison,
speaking of being stripped, spray-
ed with disinfectant and given a
set of fatigues.
Guards, he said, earn overtime
for riots, and try to manipulate
one group of prisoners against ano-
ther.
Among the prisoners, he s a i d,
value systems are warped to the
extent that "cigarettes will g e t
you anything - you can get some-
body murdered if you have enough
cigarettes."
After the speakers, the g r o u p
split into three discussion groups
on the subjects of black women
in prison, the development of poli-.
tical consciousness among black
prisoners, and black juveniles in
prison.
Robert Williams, who once visit-
ed China and Cuba is currently
fighting extradition to N o r t h
Carolina, was scheduled to spe-ik
but was absent.

From Wire Service Reports
Faced with a huge budget deficit, t h e
Nixon administration has reportedly killed,
a crash program to clean up the Great
Lakes.
The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) had earlier requested $112 million
of the 1973 budget for halting pollution of
the Great Lakes on a comprehensive "one-
shot" basis.
But due to a tight financial situation, The
Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Squashed the $112 million cleanup request, ac-
cording to Director George Schultz.
The EPA proposal followed along the lines
of a six-point program outlined by Sen. Ro-
bert Griffin (R-Mich.) last April.
Griffin, however, has denied that a final
decision to kill the proposal has been made.

He wrote a letter to Schultz yesterday seek-
ing assurance that funds will be found for
the project.
But William Ruckelshaus, EPA adminis-
trator, says his agency will now stop pushing
for the Great Lakes crash cleanup proposal
because it apparently is against administra-
tion policy for at least the next two years.
In addition, he says he is not going to ask
for money for the program in the 1974 budget
unless he gets some indication in the mean-
time that it might be possible if and when
the national monetary situation gets bet-
ter.
Ruckelshaus did acknowledge that Con-
gress might force the issue this year by
coming up with special'legislation asking for
a Great Lakes anti-pollution drive. But it is
doubtful, he says, whether funds to pay for

it would be appropriated by that body.
In his letter, Griffin said he was aware of
budget constraints, but that it is vital to at
least begin action this year for the Great
Lakes project. Griffin noted that a key to
a cleanup plan for the G r e a t Lakes
is an agreement b e t w e e n the U.S.
and Canada. He said he recently received
White House assurances that such an agree-
ment would be forthcoming in the spring.
"I would certainly hope," Griffin added,
"that a comprehensive Great Lakes program
could be included in the President's forth-
coming environmental message."
The EPA Great Lakes program would have
given special attention to grants for im-
proved municipal sewage treatment and the
elimination of industrial pollution of the
lakes.

we want the public to know."
Kennedy says he'does not know
whether or not the Legislature
would force disclosure of salary
figures. He adds, however, that if
such a decision came the Univer-
sity would comply.
"It goes back to the question of
whether we are required to pub-
lish salaries 'because we are a
state institution," he says.
Fleming says he has always been
opposed to publishing salary fi-
gures, because such an action
would involve treating universities
as "special institutions."
He says he thought it was ap-
propriate for state taxpayers to
be aware of his own personal sal-
ary, but that "to publish salaries
up and down the line is inappro-
priate."
The issue is not yet scheduled
to be discussed in any upcoming
Regents' meetings.

the tie-in. He and other critics
have charged that the present
SEMCOG area-wide sewage treat-
ment plan would lead to pollution
in Lake Erie and create excess
costs for the city.
Most city officials favor an ex-
pansion of the local Ann Arbor
treatment plant, citing "better
treatment" and "lower costs" as
their reasons.
According to Fred Mammel, sup-
erintendent of Public Works, the
Wayne County plan is "more ex-
pensive and proposes only second-
ary treatment." He adds that the {
expansion of the Ann Arbor plantl
would provide a sand filtration
system, with the product "looking
like distilledwater next to well
water or even tap water:"
The estimated cost of the plant's
expansion is $18 million, with an
additional $5 million for retention
basins.
Retention basins are used to con-
trol the flow of sewage into the
plant so that the plant's maximum

Christman's personal goal is "to
get the show on the air by Janu-
ary, 1973." He hopes, that if pos-
sible, the original actors, such as
William Shatner and Leonard Ni-
moy will be able to assume their
former roles, but that this will not
be absolutely necessary.
If STAR fails to complete its
mission of putting the series back
on one of the major networks, they
may produce a show themselves.
According to Christman, the or-
ganization has been in contact with
a production company with facili-
ties to film the program.
Those interested in launching the
enterprise can call Christman at
971-2215. Out-staters or Vulcans
may call collect.

stration last week, mobs erupted
in Dublin, razing the British Em-
bassy and bombing and burning
British-owned businesses.
Extra police were on duty in
Dundalk. Sources in Dublin stress-
ed that the Irish republic rein-
forcements were strictly to pre-
pare for trouble spilling over the
frontier and had no plans to move
into the British-controlled North.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco,
Calif., more than 250 persons car-
ried black coffins to the British
consulate to protest the London-
derry shootings.
The p ea ce ful1 demonstrators
formed a line nearly two blocks
long as police re-routed traffic to
facilitate the march.
