Do you want to organize a "Nix-
on for President" campaign? Or
argue the merits of modern sci-
ence fiction as opposed to the mer-
its of Faulkner? How about learn-
ing about what makes a revolu-
tion?
In several introductory level
courses in the literary college this
term, these are the topics of dis-
cussion.
Instead of merely offering a tra-
ditional lecture and recitation
combination, Political Science 111,
English 123 and Psychology 171

scan politics, are currently con-
ducting a game simulation of the
1972 Presidential election.
Class members were chosen sev-
eral weeks ago to represent six
of the candidates including Demo-
,ratic Senators Edmund Muskie,
Hubert Humphrey, George Mc-
Govern, Henry Jackson, John
Lindsay and President Nixon.
Each "candidate" was allowed
four staff members. Students also
portrayed network TV representa-
tives and newspaper reporters. All
other students in the course have
portrayed voters in primary elec-
tions and delegates for the simu-
lated Democratic convention.
The candidates have so far pro-
gressed through five primary elec-
tions, and the Democratic con-
vention. After Spring break, the
class will simulate the final elec-
tion.
One student, who portrays a
Humphrey staffer, said, "It's an
enjoyable and rewarding course.
We did well in the primaries, prob-
ably better than the real Humph-
rey will do. It's a good feeling to
put a lot of work into something,
even if it's just make-believe, and
to get results."
The ten discussion sections of
the course concentrate on various
topics including consumer politics,
minority politics and ideology. In
addition, 'a weekly lab using video
tapes and movies examines the
role of the mass media in politics
and bias in the media.
Two special sections of English

Caswell to undergo psychiat-
ric examination at Ypsilanti
State Hospital to determine
whether he is mentally fit to
stand trial for alleged arson.
A 19-year-old student from
Northville, Caswell is charged with
"destroying real property" in
starting a fire Feb. 3 on the
fourth floor of the General Li-
brary.
Ross made the ruling yesterday
afternoon at the request of Cas-
well's attorney, Raymond Cleven-
ger, who had originally asked the
court for an immediate psychia-
tric examination at Lafayette
Clinic in Detroit.
In requesting a psychiatric ex-
amination Clevenger said that
Caswell had been under treat-
ment, which raised a "serious .
question as to his medical candi-
tion."
Campbell denied the specific re-
quest. saying state law requires
that the evaluation be performed tudents yesterday

At arraignment proceedings
yesterday morning, District Court 4TT1
Judge Sandorf Elden set Cas-
well's bail at $50,000, denying
Clevenger's request that Caswell
be released into the custody of his
father until psychiatric examina-
tions begin. I
The case was transferred to the
circuit court by Elden, because it
has the power to order such a
psychiatric evaluation.

who in turn will advise Krasny
on the operation of the unit.
Members of UC say the Univer-
sity community should have com-
plete control over the activities of
the police unit, but add they are
willing to compromise with an ad-
visory committee for now.
"If we have a campus police
force, we should control it," says
Law Prof. Robert Burt, a member
of UC. He says that negotiations
between the University and the
city have progressed too far al-
ready for this issue to be con-
sidered.
The contract between the Uni-
versity and the city will last for
only one year, according to Pier-
point. After the contract expires,
he said, the University will have
a chance to evaluate the force
and make recommendations for
changes in its' operation.
Both Burt and UC chairman Bob
Nelson, '74L, agree that the issue
of University control over the
force should be brought up at that
time.
The proposal for a, committee
advisory to Davids is a "fairly
weak proposal in my opinion,"
Nelson said. "But it's a step in
the right direction," he added.
"At least it's a way for people
to voice their opinions and griev-
ances through channels separate
from the decision-making struc-
ture," he said.
Nelson said, however, that the
consensus of UC now is that the
will
University community should have
greater decision-making powers in
the police unit. He said he would
eventually like to see decisions
made by a board of students and
faculty members.
University Council will begin
discussing the composition and
methods of selection for the ad-
visory committee after spring
break, Nelson said. The. committee

S mit bill proposes prescribed,
use of hard drugs by addicts
Special To The Daily
LANSING - Rep. Raymond
Smit (R-Ann Arbor) is co-spon-
soring a bill, introduced yester-
day in the state House, which
would allow medical practition-
ers to prescribe hard drugs to
drug addicts.
According to Smit, enactment
of this legislation would make it
no longer necessary for addicts
to resort to crime and theft to
support their illness.
The bill calls for the creation
of a state agency to deal with
drug addiction and provide for
the distribution of prescribed
hard drugs to addicts under the
care of the agency.
The bill also outlines the
establishment of "therapeutic
communities" for persons over
18 in geographic areas where
high concentrations of drug ab-
use exist. Probate court could
assign persons under 18 to such
centers.
The "therapeutic community"
would be a communal living fa-
cility where persons could live
and work with others who are
fighting off drug addiction in a
Most of these treatment cen-
ters, however, differ from those
envisioned by Smit's bill in that
they were privately founded and
maintain a private status al-
though some receive state aid.
The idea of prescribing hard
drugs to addicts follows current
practice in Qreat Britain.
The bill proposed yesterday is
unusual in that it does not fol-
low strictly either the British
model-of prescribing drugs to
addicts-or the Synanon model
-of using the g r o u p living
structure to reinforce the former
addict's complete withdrawal
from drugs. Instead, it combines
the two approaches.
Smit said yesterday he rea-
lizes the bill would be "one of
the most controversial ever in-
troduced" in the state legisla-
ture.
RELEASE FOILED
County jail inmate
By RALPH VARTABEDIAN
The deputy sheriff stared coldly through
the bullet-proof glass barrier at the recep-
tion room in the Washtenaw County Jail.
He bent down to the microphone, smiled
and announced, "Ralph Rollins doesn't
want to be bailed out."
That statement yesterday ended a local
bail fund coalitio~n's first Qtternt to fvD-z
ized outside the jail in an attempt to free
Rollins. Jim Florey, a legal-aid attorney
acting as spokesperson for the group, in-
formed the sheriff's department that the
coalition had the money needed to bail out
Rollins.
Moments later, however, Florey was in-
formed that Rollins did not wish to leave.

The three organizations involved have a
fund totaling about $1,000, which is enough
to meet the requirements of most mis-

contributed $750.
Under state law, only ten per cent of
the actual bail must be raised for a. mis-
demeanor. The majority, of such bail
