Demonstrations against . the

mentum in Canada this week.
Government bodies, labor un-
ions, student groups, women's
organizations and anti - pollu-
tion advocates have held pro-
tests, or announced plans for
them.

quickly added, the penalties which
go with a man floating around on
a . marijuana binge or 'staggering
around drunk, or out on an over-
dose of heroin are something for
the legislature to decide."
Ravitz, in his rebuttal further
explained the entrapment of the
possession charge. The courts
have already ruled that Sinclair
was unlawfully entrapped for al-
leged sale. Since it was this en-
trapped sale which gave rise to
the h discovery of possession, the
evidence is clearly inadmissible."

those cities: the Ambassador

reason for decreasing popularity
of war protests such as strikes and
rallies among college students.
0"High school students are tak-
ing up the slack in this area," he
said, but also added that "college
students are turning more to the
solid power of the anti-war vote
and committee action."
He added that today's strike isi
part of the build-up for the Nov. 6
anti-war demonstrations scheduledi
for 16 regional centers around the1
country, including Detroit.
The significance of the forthcom-
ing Detroit demonstrations, said
Fowler, will be the expected cross-A

the labor element.- ,
Both the strike and Saturday'sI
demonstrations are being sponsor-j
ed locally by the Detroit Coalition
to End the War, nationally by
NPAG and the People's Coalition
for Peace and Justice.1

Ravitz made one last appeal.
"One thing we are all obliged to
think about," he said, is what nine
and a half to ten years means.
Think where you were nine and
a half to ten years ago. Think
what Sinclair is being deprived of.
This is the last place we have fo'
justice."
The courtroom emptied and the
judges retired to take under ad-
visement the appeal. There was no
indication how soon a decision
might come from the seven-man
court, but Ravitz said he hoped it
would be within four weeks.
After the hearing the Rainbow
people read a statement Sinclair
had sent to the trial: "The buck
stops here. Either I am a vicious
criminal or a political prisoner.
There is no middle ground."
Leni Sinclair, Sinclair's wife,
had b-rself chained and gagged
to a chair wearing a sign reading
"political imprisonment in the
Supreme 'Court." Sinclair's actions
were to protest the rejection of a
motion by Sinclair that he appear
in person and argue his own case.
"This is an effort to dramatize the
situation that John Sinclair is
presently held in.
Also attending the hearing
were Sinclairs' parents. "John has
convinced me, Leni Sinclair said,
that the marijuana laws are used
in a discriminatory manner to
clout people over the head who
the government wants to clout. As
the crowd cheered, Sunny Sin-
clair, Sinclair's .daughter, made
her statement. "Free John Now"
she cried.
Jackie Vaughn III (D-Detroit),
also at the hearing announced to
the crowd that he and 10 col-
leagues in the legislature have
filed an amicus brief to free Sin-
clair and have introduced a bill
into the legislature to strike all
penalties John is forced to suffer

of the islands in Alaska's Aleu-
tian chain.
They plan to moor off Am-
chitka's three-mile limit during
the underground test firing of a
five megaton Spartan missile
warhead.'
The device, which the U.S.
A t o m i c Energy Commission
(AEC) said last night would not
be fired "before Saturday," has
a force equivalent to five million
tons of TNT.
Critics of the test charge the
explosion could trigger tidal
waves and earth tremors and
generate pollution hazards. Am-
chitka is located on the San An-
dreas fault.
A Washington Federal District
Court judge refused Monday to
halt the test, finding unfounded
the objections of environmental-
ists that the AEC has withheld
information about possible ad-
verse effects of the test.
Opponents of the test include
the Canadian Federal Govern-
ment, which last night announced
it was sending additional civil
defense personnel to British Co-
lumbia for the test, and Alaska
Sen. Mike Gravel.
The test, code-named Canni-
kin, has been personally ap-
proved by President Nixon. The
prototype Spartan warhead is de-
signed as part of the United
States anti-ballistic missile sys-
tem.

first. Will missed the six-man cut
off by about 400 votes.
Summer primaries, like those
of East Lansing, combined with
other problems appeared to mini-
mize the effect of the student vote
in most parts of the country.
The major problem has been
voter registration, as only 21 states
have temporary or final decisions

nating in an end to capitalistic
society. The party has run presi-
dential and vice presidential can-
didates since 1948, but the current
campaign is the most intensive to
date.
She added that the party sup-
ported the antiwar movement, the
black movement, the women's
movement, the chicano movement
and others.
Jenness said one of the purposes
of her campaign was to provide a
viable alternative to the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, which
she claimed are basically the
same.
Jenness, a native of Atlanta,
Ga., has been active in SWP for
several years. She will be on the
ballot in 33 states this year, andl
says she hopes to run the biggest

socialist campaign since Eugene
Debs ran for President in 1920.
Jenness, 30, says she and her
running mate, Andrew Pulley, 21,
are unconcerned over the fact that
they both are under 35, the re-
quired age to serve as President.
Jenness has previously run for
mayor of Atlanta, and was a can-
didate in the 1970 Georgia guber-
natorial race.
In her speech, Jenness likened
the condition of prisoners involved
in the shootouts at Attica to the
condition of all people in America.
She said, "People identify with
Attica because they are reflections
of their own struggle there."
"The prisons show the racism
that pervades America from top
to bottom," she said.
She 'said the SWP has no blue-
print for the achievement of a so-
cialist society, but that mass move-
ments would organize around spe-
cific demands which could iot be
met by capitalistic society. "Then,"
she said, "socialism will come."

which allow students to register
in the towns where they attend
college.
Some of the rulings came after
the registration deadline for this
election, and in many towns, stu-
dents ran into trouble with city
officials in trying to determine
their rights to register.
However, in East Lansing the
candidates felt the impact of the
student vote both in the results
and in the issues raised hroughout
the campaign. Most were student-
oriented, with candidates giving
their views on environmental pro-
tection, low-cost housing, reut-
controls, and police-community re-
lations.
Several candidates also empha-
sized the need for better com-
munications between the city and
the university.
In addition, the "Project: City
Hall" candidates made electoral
reform a major issue of their
campaign.
They charged that the vAty's
switch from a February to an
August primary was an attempt to
disenfranchise students not in town
during the summer.
In addition, they worked hard
to make registration easy for stu-
dents in the short time the new
However, several students in-
terviewed said they were unfa-
miliar with the candidates' views,
and a survey taken by a graduate
communications c la s s reported
that 42 per cent of the students
could not identify the candidates.
Griffiths, however, said the re-
sponse of the students had been

majorities in the city's Italian
and Jewish neighborhoods, provid-
ing his margin of victory.
Rizzo himself was the major
campaign issue with opponents
charging his law and order poli-
tics meant suppression of the black
community.
In one of last night's few vic-
tories for urban liberals, incum-
bent Mayor Kevin White defeated,
for the second time, his opponent,
Congressional Rep. Louise Day
Hicks (D-Mass.).
Hicks was generally considered
to be a "backlash" politician while
White was viewed as a racial mod-
erate.
In San Francisco, controversial
Mayor Joseph Alioto was re-elected
to a second four-year term, scoring
a sweeping victory over 10 chal-
lengers.
Alioto, who's record has been
blemished by alleged connections
with the mafia won easily over
lawyer Harold Dobbs and Dianne
Feinstein, president of the city
Board of Supervisors.

.INCREASED SECURITY
Rapes emerge as 'U' problem

(Continued from Page 1)
Those few victims whose
cases do reach court, must -con-
stantly prove their credibility' as
a witness.
Barbara Kurtz,women's ad-
vocate at the University, claims,
"This is one of the few cases
where the victim must prove she
is totally innocent, and this is
hard for women to prove as long
as commercials advertise wom-
en as sexual objects."
An initial investigation into a
rape case usually 'entails, ac-
cording to police Sergeant Wil-
liam Canada, spending 20-30
minutes just getting to know the
victim to assure that Canada
will get the information he
needs to arrest the rapist.
One woman, who had been
abducted and raped while walk-
ing from her car to her sorority
house, said that she had to relay
Severyminute detail in chrono-
logical order for about two to
three hours during her prelimi-
nary examination.
"I was glad I did, because by
morning I had blocked many of
the details out of my mind and
couldn't remember a lot of what
had happened", she recalled.
Before a jury, women often
find is difficult to prove she
"resisted to the utmost" the
man's attack because in an as-
sault situation many women
fear they must either submit to
their assailant, or be killed.
Heyns talks on
Berkeley years
at coffee hour
Roger Heyns, the controversial
former chancellor of the University
of California's Berkeley campus,
will be the special guest at today's

When asked what is the best
way for women to react to an
accoster, Canada says, "Most
rapists get enjoyment out of
resistance and the look of fear
on their victim's face, so I can't
say. Sometimes fighting back
will only further infuriate the
already insane rapist."
Woman's advocate Kurtz be-
lieves "women are unused to
reacting physically but when
there is no weapon involved, I
would suggest some sort of self
defense."
When faced with the situa-
tion one raped victim recalls,
"I'm sure I didn't have any
choice, this men could have
crushed me with his bare hands.
And all the time Boston Strang-
ler ideas kept coming to me so I
didn't try to resist."
Another victim recalls, "They
put a knife to my throat and
said don't scream or we'll kill
you.I didn't fight,sbelieve me,
I was the mdlst passive docile
person. I was just glad to be
alive."
Another woman who has ex-
perienced rape says, "Now I
carry a knife when I travel
alone. It's only a two inch
pocket blade, but it sure could
startle someone."
Policewoman Mary Smith ad-
vises that although most types
of tear gases are illegal to car-
ry, hair spray is often just as
effective-if you have time to
get it out and aim at thie man's
face.
Smith also reminesces about
some of the old methods, such
as carrying a hat pin on the in-
side of your coat, firmly plac-
ing your knee where it hurts,
and wearing old spike heels
which have at least one pur-
pose.
But there is no pat answer or
method to deal with a rapist, as
their individual' personalities
and motivations differ radically.
Canada lists categories of

rapists: "First there's the real
rapist who could care less about
his victim."
"Then there's the man," he
continues, "Who has been sex-
ually repressed and will vent
his frustration on anywoman
on the street.
Women who were victimized
related varied encounters with
both deranged, and sane men.
"First he tried to seduce me,"
said one women, "then he just
grabbed me and used me for his
purposes. But afterward, he
apologized and tried to give me
some money."
Another woman, raped by
Vietnam veterans who spoke to
her about all the "chinks" they
had rapes1 overseas, told her,
either put out, or we'll knock
you out". "And then they
wanted me to pretend that I
enjoyed it", she related.
A third victim confided that
her assailants were "kinky"
characters as they performed
the sex crime as a male-fe-
male team. After abducting her
for four hours and raping her
some place near Whitmore Lake,
she was dropped off near Yost
field house and told, "Don't tell
anyone about this because it
doesn't happen to nice girls".
Again, her accosters wanted to
give her money.
"Rape," this woman con-
cludes, ."is not something that
should be sensationalized, all I
really want to say about it, is to
tell other women to be more
practical".
