Daily News Analysis
A long and arduous series of presiden-
tial primaries begins next week as five
Democrats and three Republicans vie
for their respective nominations.
The New Hampshire presidential pri-
mary, the site of Eugene McCarthy's
moral victory over President Lyndon
Johnson four years ago leading to the
incumbent's withdrawal from the race,
will take place Tuesday.
rimary
Sens. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota
and Henry Jackson of Washington, New
York Rep. Shirley Chisholm and Ala-
bama Governor George Wallace all
chose to skip the nation's first primary.
Furthermore, there is no concrete fo-
cus to the campaign as there was in
1968. Then, the choice was clear and
simple-either one supported the Presi-
dent's Vietnam war policy, or one didn't.
This year, however, a plethora of rel-
ative unknowns crowds the Democratic
field while Republicans from liberal and
conservative wings of the GOP struggle
futilely against President Nixon's non-
partisan image.
The Democratic side of the ballot lists
Sens. George McGovern of South. Da-
kota Edmund Muskie of Maine, and.
Vance Hartke of Indiana as well as Los
Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty and Edward
Coll, a Connecticut social worker. Ar-
kansas Rep. Wilbur Mills is running as

Ianingless?
Students challenge
Every candidate, with the exception
of Yorty, has conceded a numerical vic-
tory to Muskie. The question has there-
fore become, "How big will the victory
margin be?"
Many observers have seen the primary
as a defeat for Muskie unless the Maine
Senator can garner over 50 per cent
of the vote.
The margin between a "victory" and
"a defeat" for Muskie could be as small
as five per cent of the vote which would
amount to perhaps 3,500 votes.
It is obvious that no one could pin a
national trend on such a small number
of votes either way, so it is not unlike-
ly that the primary will become a mean-
ngless numbers game.
What really matters, though, is not
so much whether New Hampshire is a
major victory for one candidate or an-
other, but if the people think it is

be so earthshaking this time around.

By ZACHARY SCHILLER
Six students filed for an in-
junction against the Univer-
sity yesterday aimed at end-
ing the University's policy of
charging out-of-state tuition
to students registered to vote
in the state.
The plaintiffs - Brian Hays,
Law, David Alden, Law, Caryn
Miller, ('73), Larry Mills grad.,
Timothry Whitsitt, grad, and Gary
G. Stevens, Law, have asked for
a temporary injunction against
the University in the case, for
which a show-cause hearing has
been set for March 23.
The suit, filed with the county
Circuit Court yesterday, has been
made on a "class action" basis.
which means that it is on behalf
of the plaintiffs and other Uni-
versity students in the same situ-
ation.
If the plaintiffs are successful
in the case. the University could
lose over $11 million from those
students who now pay out-of-state
tuition. Over 7.500, or almost 19
per cent of the student body now
pay non-resident fees.
Technically, both students regis-
tered and those qualified to regis-
ter would be exempt from paying
)ut-of-state tuition.
In a similar suit filed by a stu-
dent at a Kansas junior college:
last year. the district judge ruled

The judge in the case based his
decision on the theory that the
enfranchisement of the 18-year-
old ends his legal subservience to
his parents, including the view
that their home is his residence.

case
By JONATHAN MILLER
Detectives investigating the recent wave of campus fires
announced last night the arrest on a charge of arson of a 19-
year-old University student.
Taken into custody by investigators from the city and
state police was Randall Caswell, LSA '75, of Northville, Mich.,
Police Chief. Walter Krasny told reporters. Caswell is a resi-
dent of South Quadrangle.
Caswell is scheduled to be arraigned in District Court this
morning on a felony warrant issued by County Prosecutor
William Delhey last yesterday afternoon, Krasny said.
The warrant charged that Caswell set a fire in room 401
of the General Library Feb. 3. A number of books were de-

A New York based sperm bank
firm recently announced they will
open a branch here in early May.
The sperm bank will serve men
interested in preserving, a speci-

later use in artificial insemina-
tion -- the science of inducing
pregnancy through the use of
frozen sperm.
Morton David, president of
New York's Idant Corp., says that
the firm will be able to process 30
patients a day, although market
research indicates initial demand
may reach only 3-5 patients a
day.
However, strong warning against
dependence on the potency and
adequacy of frozen sperm as

last week by the American Public
Health Association.
It warned men not to rely on

Caswell' was arrested at hisE
room, at 5912 Gomberg House, in
South Quad.
Police were let into Caswell's
room by University officials "on
or about the time of the arrest"
to execute a search warrant, Chief
Kransy said.
Residents of Caswell's corrridor
were questioned, and in some cases
fingerprinted by investigating of-
ficers, who sealed off the corridor
from the rest of the dormitory and
refused to allow non-residents to
enter.
Late last night, police were still
questioning students in Gomberg
House and making a detailed
search of Caswell's room.
Helping police in their search
were several University security
officers, including chief housing
security officer David Foulke.
The announcement of the arrest
came shortly before 9 p.m. last
night when Chief Krasny read a
brief statement to reporters in
the lobby of city hall on behalf
of the city police, the University,
the fire department and the state
police.
Chief Krasny declined last night
to connect Caswell to any other
of the over 60 suspected cases of
arson that have hit University
buildings since late January.

Cabin for sale
Phil Wendall looks out the door of his homemade log cabin as he watches passers-by change classes
across the street. The cabin is built atop a yellow 1946 Dodge truck. Wendall built the cabin him-
self, saying, "I'm into a building trip, man. It's been winter and too cold to do shit. Now it's spring-
time and I've just got the itch to build another one." He plans to sell the cabin in Ann Arbor.

ballot
By JAN BENEDETTI
Due to a successful petition
drive, an abortion reform proposal
will appear on the November state
ballot.
Supporters of the abortion re-
form drive filed with state election
officials yesterday 218,000 signa-
tures petitioning to place the pro-
posal on the ballot. Only 213,000
signatures were needed.
The referendum, originally for-
mulated by the Michigan Co-ordi-
City Dems ask more spending
in spite of increasing defi cit
nating Committee on Abortion Re-I
form, states that a "licensed med-1
ical or osteopathetic physician mayt
perform an abortion at the request
of the patient if the period of
gestation has not exceeded 20
weeks."'
The abortion must be performed
at a licensed hospital or other fa-
cility approved by the Department
of Public Health.,
The current state abortion law,
dating from 1846, permits an abor-
tion only if the mother's life is
endangered byhthe pregnancy.
If the referendum is approved
by a majority of state voters, the
proposal goes directly into law.
Though only 213,000 signatures
are needed, the petition drive will
continue through March to reach
a goal of 250,000 signatures due to
the expected number of invali-
dated signatures.
Several bills to liberalize the
abortion law have been rejected
by the legislature.
The petition drive began last
fall, led by several organizations
and state legislators including Sen.
Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor).
A U.S. District Court panel of
present law deprives women of a
constitutional right to govern their
own bodies.
In the New Jersey case, the
panel of three judges ruled, using
similar arguments that the law
violates a woman's r i g h t to
privacy.
The judges declined to enjoin
New Jersey from enforcing the
current law, but said that they
would issue an injunction in the
future if the state did not post-
pone any pending prosecution un-
der the law.

The city's Democratic Party has completed

The platform's planning plank supports the "es-
