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 123 focus on science fiction, Don Palumbo, the instructor of the sections, says the primary "ob- jective of the course is to get stu- dents to write good papers," while letting them write about books ;hey enjoy.

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.

The advisory committee work in conjunction with Da vids, 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.

You must not, however, have reg- istered or voted in another state since last Oct. 3. Besides City Hall - at the cor- ner of Fifth and Huron - you may register at the Michigan Union (in the ballroom, where a band will entertain you,) as well as at assorted "temporary" voter registration sites around town. 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. TH yrp,'t..in of Whgf har 1.nn. arl .,.. efuses bal The three organizations involved have a fund totaling about $1,000, which is enough to meet the requirements of most mis- demeanor bails.
