ne -ws brief
by The Associated Press
THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCIL onthe Status of
Women called on President Nixon yesterday to personally recom-
mend passage of the equal rights amendment for women, which is
being debated on the Senate floor.
The council, part of the U.S. Dept. of Labor, particularly ex-
pressed its concern for "discrimination in public elementary and
secondary education because of the wide influence it exerts on
attitudes and self-images of young women and young men."
The council recommended that groups interested in education
"foster the review of local public school systems to determine the
degree of sex discrimination."
They also called for appointment of a woman to the Supreme
ICourt.
CALIFORNIA'S SUPREME COURT refused yesterday to
grant a rehearing of its 6-1 decision outlawing the death penalty
under the state Constitution.
In its Feb. 18 ruling, the Court declared that "death may not be
exacted as a punishment for crime in this state".
With the court's latest action, the decision would become legally
effective Monday. It commutes the death sentences of 102 men and
five women to life imprisonment.
The court however, did modify its decision to say it did not
mean that persons such as Angels Davis who face what formerly
were capital charges should be freed on bail.
A 72 YEAR OLD GERMAN-BORN man was being brought toI
Pasto, Columbia, yesterday for fingerprinting and further investi-
gation into a magazine's claim he might be Martin Bormann,
. Adolf Hitler's hunted deputy.
Columbian police said the man, identified as Juan Ehrmann, is:
not under arrest, but is merely being questioned regarding hisI
identity.
In Johnnesburg,, South Africa, Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal said
he doubted Ehrmann is Borman. "Every time we get information
that a. prominent Nazi is living in a country with a bad climateI
such as in the jungle, I am very skeptical." He added that he found.
that most of those Nazis he has traced choose countries with climates
similar to Europe.
THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION said yesterday
it will crack down on the use of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)
around food to keep the widely used industrial chemical from be-
coming a health hazard.
New regulations were proposed for PCB use around livestock
feed, in food containers and in other materials which could lead
to human consumption of the chemical.
The chemical has been linked with liver and genetic damage to
laboratory animals and with human skin disorders.
Although not a pesticide, it is chemically similar to DDT and
in the past may have been confused with traces of the pesticide
found in the environment.
THE PRICE COMMISSION yesterday announced new, sharp-
ened guidelines for utility rates, but warned the nation that bigI
increases will be necessary to pay for the service it wants.
Commission Chairman C. Jackson Grayson Jr. said the regulations
would require reductions in some requested rate increases but, not inI
others. He had no estimate of how much utility rates might go up:
under the new rules.

SUMMER HARVEST
Organic gaIrdAeNnEVkeepsgo ng
By DIANE LEVICK

~ait'

Sick of eating "plastic" food
grown or processed with God-
knows-what chemicals? Then
Ann Arbor's Community Organ-
ic Garden may have the ans-
wer.
Last summer over 500 people
were involved in planting and
caring for seven University-do-
nated acres on North Campus.
Withoutzchemical insecticides
or fertilizers, they raised and
harvested a large and successful
variety of crops - everything
from cabbage to pineapples.
Action is already under way
for this summer's garden, with
the first work day set for April
1. The garden's manager, John
Remsburg, welcomes all partici-
pants in what he says should
be "as great a learning experi-
ence as last summer."
Remsburg, a Natural Resourc-
es grad student, expects more
of the land to be planted this
year as many plants have al-
ready been started in a green-
house.
What will be grown? "Any-
thing unusual," says Remsburg.
"Any weird kind of plant that's
edible."
In addition, he hopes to start
"aquaculture" on the land: rais-
ing fish in agriculture ponds. He
also has an eye toward lives-
stock and more "on-the-site" re-
search.
An appartus called a "digest-
er" will decompose the garden's
cut grass and dead leaves, pro-
ducing useful natural gas. "This
is another way to use waste as
a resource instead of just calling
it junk," explains Remsburg.
"The gas can be used as a fuel
to run a stove, for instance."
Other possible additions to the
garden include a pick-up truck'
and a windmill, which would be
used to produce electricity there.
Remsburg, who will teach a
Pilot Program course on organ-
ic gardening at the site, feels
the garden means more than
just agriculture. "Working on it
teaches self-sufficiency and bal-
ancing your life-style to the en-
vironment," he adds.
Financially, the garden is on
firm ground. A local seed com-
pany has donated all the seed
that is necessary, and money
still remains in a Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
grant received last July. The
Ecology Center, which'helps co-
ordinate the project and refers

Last year's crop at the Community Organic Garden

volunteers, has managed the
University funds provided for
the garden.
The Ecology Center is also
helping to sponsor a new group
called GROW. The program will
provide over 200 acres scattered
around Ann Arbor that are free
for organic gardening. Anyone
interested who can provide his
own seeds can participate.
R e m s b u r g hopes the main
North Campus garden will en-
courage and serve as an exam-
ple to these satellite sites.
The only donations needed for
the North Campus garden at
this point are for a couple of
salaried workers, according to
Remsburg. He would like to
have them work 30 hours a
week at the site to answer ques-
tions for the curious and over-
see operations.
Citing increasing interest in
organic gardening from various
campus groups, Remsburg com-
ments, 'This thing is turning
into an octopus. There's a lot of
potential for it this summer."
Meanwhile, Community Or-

ganic Garden and the Ecology
Center haverbeennsponsoring a
seminar series in the UGLI
multipurpose room. Speakers
have been discussing ecological-
ly sound methods of dealing
with the environment.
"I'd guess the successor to
Residential College-style living.
or black dorms," Remsburg
speculates, "will be ecological
habitats. Students there would
monitor an alternative com-
munity, learn about energy flow

through it, and really learn
how to live with the earth."
