,suit against city
residency
law
By JANET GORDON
Daniel Feld, Grad, is filing suit to challenge an Ann'
Arbor law which he says bars many students from par-
ticipating in city government, and specifically from running
for City Council.
The law-known as the Duration Residency Require-}
ent-states that a candidate must be a resident of the ~c
ard in which he or she runs for one year prior to the regis-
tration date
Feld, who had been a Second Ward resident for six years, '
moved out briefly during last summer vacation, returning
several months ago.
Upon finding that his move had4
rendered him ineligible as a coun-
cii candidate, Fell decided to chal-
lenge the regulation in court.
iOn Nov. 2, Arthur Carpenter,
lee Feld's attorney, filed suit in De-
troit's F e d e r a 1 District Court
against the city and city clerk Har-
old Saunders, charging that the law
was unconstitutional.-

In September, it appeared
that the five-year quest for a
University-wide legal system
would be completed by the end
of this semester. But now, it is
likely the system will not be
implemented until well into
the winter term.
Of the two parts to the legal
system-a set of conduct rules and
a judicial mechanism to enforce
the rules-the judicial mechanism
is close to a reality, but the con-
I duct rulesshave been delayed be-
cause of student turnover on the
committee which is formulating
them.
University Council (UC) - the
group charged by the Regents in
February, 1970, with formulating
a conduct code for the University
community-met once in Septem-
ber, at which time it was discover-
ed that one of the student mem-
bers had resigned, and another one
was considering the possibility of
resigning.
No plans for future meetings
were made until last week, when
Student Government Council filled
the vacancy. The student who had!
been wavering decided to remain.
tA meeting is now planned within
two weeks.
"I regard this as simply an un-
fortunate combination of circum-
stances," said law school Dean
Theodore St. Antoine, commenting
on the delay in starting UC meet-
ings. "I do not feel it's fair to
blame anyone for what happened."
St. Antoine resigned last summer
as chairman of UC. But a newl
chairman has not yet been ap-
pointed and he has continued to
function as the "executive secre-
tary" for the group.
SGC officials were not available
for comment -last night, but St.
Antoine noted that internal diffi-
culties on Council during October
were "sufficient reason" to excuse
its delay in making the UC ap-
pointment.
UC released a draft of a pro-
posed conduct code lastFebruary,
but the draft was rejected by both
Senate Assembly-the faculty rep-
resentative group-and SGC.
Students claimed the code was
too Harsh, while the faculty gen-J
erally felt it was too lenient.
"We tried to work out a compro-
mise between faculty and student
interests," said St. Antoine. "Now
we'll have to find adjustments for
the peculiarly valid criticisms."
Since the first draft of the UC
rules was essentially a compromise
between student and faculty posi-
tions, the problem of revising the
rules to make them acceptable to
both groups promises to be both
delicate and difficult.
In contrast to the conduct code,
the other part of the legal system
- the judicial mechanism - is al-
most ready for operation.
The judicial mechanism-a Uni-
versity court system - was ap-
proved, with modifications from
its original form, last April by the
Regents. With SGC and Senate As-
sembly both assenting to the modi-
fications, essentially all that re-
mains to be done is appoint tudent
and faculty members to the court.

DOWNTOWN FIRE
BREAKS OUT
A major fire hit the north-
west block of South Main and
Huron Sts, early this morning,
causing severe damage to a
number of downtown business
offices on the upper stories of
a five-story complex covering
most of the block.
The fire, which was reported
at 12:52 a.m. remained out of
control as of 2:15 a.m.,
Off-duty members of the
Ann Arbor Fire Department
ere pulled into help fight the
blaze. It was unclear this
morning what the total amount
of damage was caused by the
fire or whether there were any
injuries.
Among the businesses report-
ed on fire were Morays Jew-
elry, Alfred Hair Stylists, and
Varsity Bar.

This regulation explains why
East Quad will be having its fast

until Nov. 22. Other dorms con-
sidering fasts include Bursley and
Alice Lloyd.

Jan. 3.
Both Feld and Carpenter are op-
timistic about their chances for,
success.
According to Feld, a similar reg-
ulation brought before the courts
earlier this year was declared un-
constitutional.
Commenting on the case Carpen-
ter said recently, "Sometimessyou
have to wait until a legal issue
gets ripe enough to pick."
With the increasing interest in
student involvement in electoral
politics. occasioned by the 18-year-j
old vote as well as the state su-;
preme court decision last summer
to void special residency require-
ments for student voters, both Feld
and Carpenter feel the residency
requirement challenge is ripe now.

LaIbor leaders denounce

By CHRIS PARKS
LSA Student Government
President Jim Bridges, '72 has
resigned his post.
Bridges' resignation took ef-
fect last Saturday, and followed
weeks of absence from student
government activities.
It is speculated that the re-
signationhwastprompted by per-
sonal rather than political fac-
tors.
A source close to the literary
college government told T h e
Daily that Bridges had not ex-
ercised the "duties of his office"
11 file for 10 vacant LSA
Executive Council seats
since September. Bridges w a s
elected in last spring's campus-
wide student elections a lo n g
with. Vice-President Rick Rat-
ner, '73.
Because of Bridges' inactivity
on the governing unit, the
source said, the unit sent Brid-
ges a letter asking him to "de-
clare his intentions."
Bridges' reply - received last
Saturday - contained his ve-
signation.
He remained unavailable for
comment yesterday.
The resignation has resulted
in Ratner's elevation to Presi-
dent, leaving open the Vice-
President's seat.
Ratner told The Daily that
the group would appoint a Vice-
President at its regular weekly
meeting tonight. The new Vice-
President, he predicted, will pro-
bably come from the ranks of
the government itself.
Such an internal shift would
create an additional vacancy on
the 15 member body. All 10 va-
cancies are to be filled in a
campus-wide election next Tues-
day and Wednesday.
Also appearing on the ballot
will be a resolution to amend
the LSA constitution to provide
for a more rapid establishment
of the lower house of the LSA
Student Government.
The lower house-the assem-
bly-is to include representatives
from each of the literary col-
lege's undergraduate associa-
tions. These associations rep-
resent students from the col-
lege's various academic depart-
ments.

The nation's labor leaders
yesterday protested strongly
against the new federal wage
controls set Monday against
labor wishes, by the adminis-
tration's pay board. Reactions
ranged from caution to a call
for a general strike by the
AFL-CIO's nearly 14 million
members.
Under general guidelines ap-
proved by the board Monday
night, wage increases should not
exceed 5.5 per cent per year.
Also under the board's deci-
sion businessmen can appeal for
a rollback of any previously
granted wage increase whichex-
ceeds 5.5 per cent.

and construction workers unions

Beset by a long and growing
list of vacancies coupled with
widespread student apathy, the
LSA Student Government execu-
tive council elections Tuesday
and Wednesday have attracted
just 11 candidates, most of whom
are destined to gain election.
LSA Student Government offi-
cials yesterday made public their
list of the 11 students who have
filed as candidates in the upcom-
ing election. There are now nine
vacancies on the body, but the
list may grow.
The resignation of LSA Stu-
dent Government President Jim
Bridges, '72, and the subsequent
assumption by Vice President
Rick Ratner, '73, of that post
has left the unit without a vice
president.
According to Ratner, a imem-
ber of the executive council will
probably be named vice presi-
dent tonight, thereby creating a
tenth opening and thus assuring
the election of all but one of the
council aspirants.

clude three incumbents who were

FIRST PUBLIC RECORDS
CRC lists rejected proposal
nounced they have prepared a
motion for the AFL-CIO con-
vention opening Nov. 18 which
would call on the giant union
to "take whatever action is
necessary, including a national
work stoppage or general strike"
to fight the controls.
Some union leaders, however
voiced a note of caution in re-
garding the possible labor re-
volt from the President's price
board.
Three representatives from
the construction union com-
mented that labor could better
argue its case from within the
President's price board. -
But Frank Rafferty of the
135,000 member Painters Union,
a member of the AFL-CIO exec-
utive council claimed the Pay
Board was "stacked" against
labor.
The board consists of five rep-
resentatives from business, five
from "the public" and five
from labor.
While falling short of call-
ing for a withdrawal of labor
from the board, John Lyons of
the Iron Workers commented

The first minutes made public
by the University's Classified
Research Committee (CRC) re-
veal that the group failed to
approve a secret research pro-
posal at its Oct. 29 meeting be-
cause "the sponsor's objectives
.included target acquisition and
weapons delivery."
Set up in 1968 to review all pro-
posals for classified research,
CRC must approve projects be-
fore they are sent to sponsors
outside the University with re-
quests for funding.
CRC's minutes were previously
confidential but geography Prof.
George Kish, chairman of the
faculty-student group, announced
Monday that minutes of CRC
meetings on Oct. 29 and there-
after will be available for public
inspection.
The project, titled "Optimized
Air-to-Surface Infrared Sensors,"
involved measuring the heat
characteristics of different tar-
gets for identification purposes.
"Of special concern," the CRC
minutes state, "was an item in
the work statement which said
sensor performance will be meas-
ured in terms of detection, recog-
nition and identification and that
the baseline targets included per-
sonnel."
"It was noted that the spon-
sor's objectives included target
acquisition and w e a p o n s de-
livery."
A motion to approve the pro-
ject failed 3-5 with one absten-
tion. The proposal was not re-
jected outright, however, since
cently passed by Senate Asseinm-
bly which would further retrict
classified research on campus.
Some CRC members felt there
would be difficulty in interpret-
ing the p r o p o s e d prohibition
against research "any specific
purpose or clearly forseeable re-
sult of which is to destroy huaman
life or incapacitate human be-
ings."
