The University has stated that
it wishes to divest itself of Willow
Run by the end of the year. Plans
include either a transfer of the fa-
cilities to the state, or sale to a

come, because "it is a. more equit-
able method of taxation."
- And because they support the.
idea of local home rule, the party
proposes an "amendment to the
Michigan State Constitution to al-
low Michigan cities greater flexi-
bility concerning the structures of
their respective tax bases."
Tht police plank, supports the
creation of an adjunct University
and city police force, and states
that "the University should avoid
the creation of a para-military,
semi-autonomous police organiza-
tion on campus."
In its Model Cities plank, the
party also states that it "opposes
the decision of City Hall to de-
velop the original Packard-Beakes
alignment" through the middle of
the Model Cities neighborhood.
However, this statement is con-
tradictory in that Democratic
Mayor Robert Harris voted in fa-
vor of the. Packard-Beakes align-
ment at the Jan. 31 council meet-
ing.
The party also supports the
Model Cities neighborhood experi-
ment in citizen participation, and
In order to continue and develop
the project they propose:
-The expansion of the legal aid
and legal services;
-The establishment of child
care facilities;
-The expansion of activities for
the youth of the neighborhood;
and
-The establishment of addi-
tional vocational and community
training programs.
The Model Cities plank also
proposes the "immediate removal
of the Lanski Junk Yard from the
Model Cities neighborhood to an
appropriate industrial site."
When' questioned as to where a
specific site might be, Councilmanst
John Kirscht (D-First Ward) pres-
ently seeking re-election, and,
Fourth Ward Democratic council,
candidate Monza Waltz agree that
they are satisfied with council's
present proposed site at the corner
of Ellsworth and Platt.
One
more day
Tomorrow is the deadline for
registration for the upcoming
city elections. If you will be 18
by April 3, and have lived in
the state for six months, you
are eligible to register for the
April elections. You can regis-
ter at City Hall or at any tem-
porary registration site. Use
the power! Register!
Other Democratic council candi-
dates Ulrich Stoll (Third Ward),
Franz Mogdis (Fifth Ward), and
Michael Morris (Second Ward) do
not favor the present site, but
offer no specific alternatives.
The civil rights plank states the
party's support of the "legaliza-
tion of the social and personal use
and sale of marijuana."
However, in the area. of actual
action, according to Ed Goldman,
assistant city attorney, "the city
has gone as far as it can by hav-
ing reduced the (marijuana) pen-
alty to a misdemeanor," and it is
still considered "a crime by state
law."
The health care plank states,
that "reform of laws regarding
abortion must be enacted to make
them solely a matter to be de-
cided by the woman concerned."
However, here again, the city is
virtually powerless to act being
bound by the present restrictive
tate law.
The recycling division of the+
environmental plank includes "a
city ordinance banning all non-re-
turnable beverage containers," and
"serious efforts to initiate curb-1
side pick-up of recycliable mate-
rials along with the city's regular
trash collection."
According to Goldman, the le-
gality of banning all non-return-
able beverage containers is "up
for grabs," being up-held in some'
cases throughout the nation and
struck down in others.
Also, the banning of all non-
returnable beverage containers
wouldn't be feasible unless done
at least on a regional, if not state-
wide basis (which is presently be-
ing attempted).
Kirscht says "there is no way
to fund the recycling program
right now."
So that the city will not "suffo-
cate in a fog of noxious automo-
bile fumes," the mass transporta-
tion plank "insists that the Uni-
versity of Michigan and other ma-
jor employers in the central city
area, take steps to reduce their
impact on the traffic congestion
resulting from on-campus parking
by employes.
Because "there has been little
action on the part of City Council
to eliminate the discrimination
against women," the Democratic
Party strongly recommends that:
-Low-cost childcare faciilties on
a 24 hour basis be established;
-Deducation schedules for in-
come t a x e s not discriminate
against women, and that there
should be provision for childcare
deductions; and
-If the city income tax be pass-
ed, it should include a provision
for deduction of childcare -as a
business expense.
According to the housing plank,
"the Democratic Party supports
providing a mix of housing in Ann
Arbor at*various price ranges so
that areas of low income housing
and areas of higher income hous-
ing are not created." The plank
goes on to state that the party
favors "an increase in the supply
of public housing . . . and federal-
ly subsidized low and moderate in-
come housing."
Concerning citizen participation,
the party supports "a city policy
which would insure that on all
boards and commissions there
exist substantial representation of
women, youth, blacks and involved
citizens."
To become a member of city
boards or commissions, one must
be appointed by the mayor and
approved by the council. Accord-
ing to Don Chamberlain, assistant
to thb mayor, a democratic ma-
jority would insure the plank's
becoming a reality.

The measure prohibits the Uni-

If Willow Run is not divested
by the end of the year as planned,
a reconsideration of the provision

With the remaining research, es-
timated to be under ten per cent,
a simplified procedure has been
developed.
A classified research proposal'
will be reviewed initially by the
dean or director of the unit in
which the proposal initiates. The
proposal will then be sent to the
vice president for research ac-
companied by a statement indi-
cating a judgment as to compli-
ance.
The -proposal will then be re-
viewed by the vice president for
research, two faculty members
elected by Assembly and one stu-
dent elected by Student Govern-
ment Council. If all agree to the
plan it will be regarded as cleared
for funding.
If any of the four object to the
proposal's compliance with the
policies established, the proposal
will be sent to the Committee on
Research Policies for review."

primary, it will undoubtedly be
of lesser impact on the political
scene this year than in years past.
The simple reason for this is the
effects of the New Hampshire bal-
loting no longer have a month to.
sink in before any other primary
in the country takes place.
Within two weeks of the pri-
maries in that New England state,
there are primaries in Georgia,
Florida and Illinois-vastly more
important in regards to political
trends in the country as a whole.
Objectively speaking, New Hamp-
shire is not the state to spot na-
tional movements in. It is almost
lily-white, and its workers are less
unionized than in almost any state
in the country. It ranks 43rd in
population among the states, and
there is but one mass circulation
newspaper-the Manchester Union
Leader-which exerts a significant
conservative ! influence on the
state's voters.
However, McGovern and Muskie
sems very concerned over the out-
come of the election. They are
dipping into campaign funds there
-both are spending the maximum
allowed undr the Democratic party
rules-at the expense of other pri-
maries later on in the year.
Both candidates observed the
party limit of $18,000 on media
expenditures, but then decided to
dip into a contingency pool for
-47,000 more, something they can
do but two- more times during the
primary season.
One of the most important fac-
tors in the primary will be the
independent voter. Current regis-
tration shows 100,000 registered
Democrats, while there are 140,-
000 independents in the state.
Thus, several primary candi-
dates are making strong bids to
capture the independent vote. Per-
Naps the two candidates vying most
for the independents are McGov-
ern and Republican Rep. Paul Mc-
Closkey of California. McCloskey
has based his campaign almost n-
tirely on the Indochina war, where
he strenuously objects to the con-
tinued bombing policy of the Nix-
on Administration.
Thus far, Nixon has more or
less brushed off McCloskey as a
threat. The major dilemma for
Nixon supporters is: How can the
President wage a campaign the
hardest without appearing to take
a partisan position.

elude three stiff anti-busing
amendments when it passed the
legislation last November.
The Senate did put into the
bill a compromise amendment of-
fered by Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield of Montana and Re-
publican Leader Hugh Scott of
Pennsylvania in an attempt to
head off more stringent curbs.
It contains mild restrictions on
busing but it does not challenge
the power of the federal courts to
issue busing orders.
The major section of the full
bill authorizes large additional
sums and new formulas for aid to
college students, both grants and'
loans, and also to all institutions
of higher education.
Colleges and universities have
been telling Congress for some
time they face such serious finan-
cial problems that they must have
more government help.
Another important part of the
measure would make available $1.5
billion requested by President Nix-
on to help school districts facing
desegregation problems.
The Senate version of this puts
many more restrictions on use of
this than the President requested.
For instance, districts receiving
the money would have to agree to
develop quality, integrated schools
and adopt plans to eliminate or
reduce minority group isolation in
all of their schools.
A third important feature of the
bill would set up a $390-million
)rogram to improve education for
177,500 Indian children who at-
tend public schools.
The Senate wrote into the mea-
sure on the floor a'tough provision
aimed at discrimination against
women in admissions to college
and in obtaining scholarships and
in hiring and pay scales when they
work as teachers or professors.
The Senate rejected by substan-
tial margins Wednesday attempts
by Sen. Sam Ervin Jr. (D-N.C.),
to ease the pressureof desegrega-
tion orders on his region.
An Ervin amendment seeking to
preserve the absolute right of par-
ents to a neighborhood school was
rejected 67-26.
Civil-rights advocates said this
was worse than the Griffin amend-
mnent and would deny the courts
all remedies to end segregated dual
school systems.
An Ervin proposal to give par-
ents freedom of choice to send
their children to any school was
beaten 63-31.

knows" who is responsible for setting the
recent wave of fires at the University of
Michigan. Or, at least, has a small clue
which may help trap them.
If you have any information, here is how
you can help solve the arsons and collect the
reward without revealing who you are.
The Detroit News "Secret Witness" pro-
gram allows tips to be passed along to police
while .still protecting the identity of the
source.
A reward of $2,000 will be paid for infor-
mation leading to the arrest and conviction
of anyone who starts a fire in the future at
the U. of M.
In addition, rewards of $2,000 each will be
paid for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of anyone who has started
one or more of the fires which have occured
at the university since January 27.
The maximum amount to be paid, regard-
less of the number of persons apprehended,
is $10,000.
The money will be paid from a $100,000
reward fund The News has set aside in an
attempt to curb crimes in Michigan.
Since starting its "Secret Witness" program
in February, 1967, The Detroit News has
provided police with secret tips which have
resulted in arrests and warrents in more
than 40 cases. In 30 of these crimes convic-
tions have been obtained. Rewards paid by
The News now total $76,000.
HOW TO SEND CLUES TO THE DETROIT NEWS
In order to qualify for reward money, persons with infor-
mation in any of the U. of M. arsons should use The De-
troit News "secret witness" procedure:
1. Type or print on plain paper all the information you have about
the fires-names, dates, places, all the facts supporting your
statements.
2. DO NOT SIGN YOUR NAME. Instead, sign with any combination
of six numerals, such as 123456.
3. Tear a corner off the last page of your letter in an uneven
manner. Put the same combination of numbers on the torn-off
corner. Keep this corner.
4. Mail the letter to Post Office Box 1333, Detroit, Michigan,
48231.
5. You also may submit information by telephone. The number to call
in Detroit is 222m2122.
This is how the last page of your
"Secret Witness" letter should look
after you have typed or printed your
information about a crime. DO NOT
SIGN YOUR NAME, but sign with a
six-digit number. Tear off and keep
a corner of the last page, bearing
the same number. Mail to "Secret
Witness," Box 1333, Detroit,
Michigan 48231.
