Stressing a need for building renovation on campus, the
University has requested over $14 million in capital outlay
funds from the state Legislature for the fiscal year 1971-72
Some $7.7 million of the funds requested are earmarkec
for the upgrading of existing buildings and completion o
construction already in progress, with the remaining fund
going for the planning and construction of new projects.
The University hopes to apply the remodeling funds tc

CIA bi
By GERI SPRUNG
A U.S. District Court Judge
ruled in Detroit yesterday
that President Nixon and At-
torney General John Mitchell
violated the constitution by
authorizing wiretapping with-
out a warrant in the CIA
bombing-conspiracy case.
The court further ordered that
the illegally obtained information
be turned over for inspection to
Pun Plamondon, White Panther
Party official accused in the case
of conspiracy and bombing of the
Ann Arbor CIA office two years
ago.
With the tapes the dfense
would then determine whether the
wiretaps have "tainted" the evi-
dence of the prosecution. The de-
cision puts the government in a
difficult position because it had
earlier claimed that the t a p e s
could not be released in the inter-
ests of national security.
Should the government continue
to refuse to divulge the informa-
tion, according to Defense At-
torney Neal Bush, it might then
be forced to dismiss the case.
Basing his decision on the
Fourth Amendment guarantee
against "unreasonable search and
seizure" Judge Damon Keith re-
jected the government's claim
that the President and the at-
torney general have a right to!
wiretap without first attaining a
warrant as long as, in their opin-
ion, there is some domestic threat
to national security.
"In the opinion of this court",
the ruling stated. "the contention
of the attorney general is in er-
ror; it is supported neither his-
torically nor by the language of
the omnibus crime act."
"Such power held by one in-
dividual." the opinion continued,
"was never contemplated by the
framers of our constitution and
cannot be tolerated today."
"In this turbulent time of un-
rest," the opinion said, "it is often
for the established and contented
members of our society to tolerate,
much less to understand, the con-
temporary challenges to our exist-
ing form of government."
"If democracy as we know it,
and our forefathers established it,
is to stand," the statement con-
tinuel, "then 'attempts of domestic

CIA decision mixed
By ALAN LENHOFF
Members of the CIA bombing conspiracy defense staff
last night discussed yesterday's ruling by U.S. District Court
Judge Damon Keith, calling it "very gutsy", but despairing
that it was any more than a token move.
The ruling by Judge Damon Keith requires the govern-
ment to reveal the evidence it obtained by a wiretap placed
in the telephone of defendant Lawrence "Pun" Plamondon.
Liz Gaines, a member of the trial staff, expressed surprise
that the ruling was in their favor, calling it "a courageous

By LINDA DREEBEN
Students must seek positive answers to
deal with problems such as white racism,
declared Dr. Robert Coles in a lecture at
Rackham Auditorium yesterday.
"We are told by the President's Com-
mission on Civil Disorders that we are
racists. Who can or would disagree with
that?" said Coles, the first of five speakers
in a series entitled "Crisis in American
Values" sponsored by the literary college's
Program in American Culture.

he necessity of placing prob-
bers hoped 100-150 people could
be attracted to the meeting.
The plank on the University
charged the school with having
"failed to realize the need for
greater cooperation and planning
with the city."
The party's position maintains
that the University should be run
by a council composed of repre-
sentatives of the entire Univer-
sity community, including non-
academic employes, students, and
persons from both the local com-
munity and out-state areas.
The party's platform on sexism
calls for the immediate end to the
use of discriminatory pay scales
and job , classifications against
women, adding that any women
who have received discriminatory
treatment should receive back pay.
It also demanded an end to dis-
crimination against women in the
housing and credit markets, and
the cessation of all "repressive
laws governing sexual behavior in
heterosexual and homosexual re-
lations."
On racism, the party demanded
that the city more equitably re-
district the wards to provide more
representation for minority groups.
The party also called for the
establishment of non-profit retail
businesses owned cooperatively by
the people of the community and
for open admission to all state uni-
versities.
The party's position on taxation
suggested a need for "the most:
progressive possible" tax structure
and a city income tax.
discrimination in unions and in-
dustry.
The report on ecology proposed
that city government "realize its
obligation to disseminate pertinent
information, and provide money
and legal reinforcement for citi-
zen environmental action."
The housing platform asserted
that it is the city's responsibility.
to "change the pattern of exclu-
sion of low income families." The
platform suggested that strict rent
control administered by a tenant
board would be used to drive the
landlords from the housing mar-
ket.

tory."
Defense attorney Neal Bush ex-
pressed similar surprise at the de-
cision, but added: "Most people
in this country get a fair hearing
but they get fucked up in the ver-
dict. That's what is happening
here."
He explained that although the
court may be fair in allowing both
sides to present evidence, the final
decision will come from a jury,
which he described as generally
being "over-white, over-age, and
over-middle class." This he con-
tended, is a result of the fact that
poor people cannot afford to take
time off from work for jury duty.
He explained that it has been a
contention of the defense that
youth comprise a minority group
not represented on juries. Poet Al-
len Ginsberg and Representative
Julian Bond (D-Ga), testified for
the defense on this point.
The defense also contended that
18-year-olds should be eligible for
jury duty because of the new law
which enables them to vote in
federal elections. This challenge to
the jury was denied by Keith.
Another motion was made by

Manson
ConfVLted
of murder
LOS ANGELES (P) - Charles
Manson and three women follow-
ers were convicted yesterday of
first-degree murder and con-
spiracy in the slayings of actress
Sharon Tate and six others.
The state said it will ask the
death penalty for all,
The defendants, who staged
outbursts during their seven-
month trial, sat passively as ver-
dicts were returned on the 27
counts against them.
After jurors were polled, Man-
son muttered audibly, referring to
them : "I think they're all guilty."
After the verdicts were all in, he
shouted at the judge: "We're still
not allowed to put on a defense.
You won't outlive that, old man"
The jury of seven men and five
women, who had deliberated 42
hours and 4 minutes since receiv-
ing the case Jan. 15, was ordered
to return to court at 9 a.m' Thurs-
day for the penalty phase of the
trial. They will continue to be se-
questered.
Defense attorneys put on no
case, refusing to question women
defendants even w h e n they
wanted to testify, on grounds they
planned to incriminate themselves
and try to clear Manson.
The attorneys suggested in ar-
guments that someone other than
the defendants was guilty. They
called the state's key witness a
drug - deluded liar who testified
only to save herself from prose-
cution.
They said Manson was being
prosecuted for his unconventional
life style-communal sex and drugs,
