Harvey has announced his intention of seek- ing federal funds for the purpose of creating an "Intelligence Squad" which will engage in the political surveillance of students at the University among other ac- tivities. But James Brinkerhoff, Direct- or of Business Operations at the University said last night t h a t, "Sheriff Harvey has not contoet- ed anybody in an official positibn at the University as to the ap- propriateness of the grant re- quest." Any Mayor Robert Harris h a s refused to allow the Ann Arbor po- lice to participate in what he calls the sheriff's idea of a squad en- gaged in "political surveillance on campus." Harvey retorted to the Harris statement with the accusation that, "In the short time of two years Harris has gagged his police chief, he has demoralized his po- lice department ,he has hampered law enforcement and he has con- tributed to explosive situations by making political decisions on police matters."X The sheriffs proposed squad would be under the operational command of the Washtenaw County Undersheriff, Harold Owings. The over-all planning and policymaking for the tri-county .wide group would be in the heads of all departments taking part in the operation. Those are the Washtenaw Coun- ty Sheriff's department, The Mon- roe County Sheriff's department, the Livingston County Sheriff's department, the city police depart- ments of Ypsilanti, Milan, Monroe, Dexter, Chelsea, Brighton, Howell and Saline, the Eastern Michigan University campus police and the prosecutor's offices of the t h r e e counties. The Eastern Michigan Univer- sity campus police are deputized by, and derive their powers of ar- rest from, Sheriff Harvey. Harris, who wants any such squad to be under State Police control, criticized the regional scope of the Harvey proposal, say- ing that, "The sheriff seems firm- ly wedded to a county, rather than a regional agency, and efforts to explore putting these men under the Detroit Metro Squad lead no- where since he apparently is in a hurry to put in his application in its present form." "Our main problem is the flow of hard drugs from Wayne Coun- ty into the city. The sheriffs pro- posal is not a response to our needs," he added. In the meantime Mayor Harris said that he has every intention of persuing the course of action proposed by him to city council, a region-wide anti-hard drugs squad using borrowed personnel from police departments in t h e Southeast Michigan Area. The goals of. the sheriff's pro- posed squad are itemized, h o w - ever, as: -The creation of a unit to "concentrate a significant portion of its efforts" towards the prob- lem of organized crime. -The development of data and the co-ordination of data on or- ganized crime with State agencies. -The assisting of other agen- cies in research into syndicated crime. -The development of public education into, and prosecution of those involved in, syndicated crime. -The development of a more effective capability to deal w i t h organized criminal elements to in- crease apprehension and convic- tion of "this type of criminal." -An attempt to stem the flow of narcotics, including marijuana, by identifying and apprehending the major suppliers and tracing the drug back to its source, and, -The provision of a source of intelligence for civil disorders which would enable the police and other public officials to more ef- fectively deal with the situation. The proposal states that, "We (The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department) have experienced several civil disorders in the past three years. Riots, sit-ins and de- monstrations are becoming com- mon place." "We have not had an intelli- gence unit in this department and we have had to improvise with un- trained personnel and to rely on other departments for intelligence information." "With campus disorders, civil disorders and union strikes an in- telligence unit is desperately need- ed in this community," it c o n- cludes. A reliable source at city hall says that part of the money re- quested will be used for the pur- chase of electronic wiretapping and bugging devices. No budget information has been released by the sheriff, either as to the size of the requested grant or the actual purpose upon which it will be spent.

'U' keeps high ACE, ratings The University's graduate pro- gram faculty ranks among the top five institutions in the nation in 12 departments, according to a survey by the American Council on Education (ACE). In one department, population biology, the University ranked first in the country, while in botany it ranked second. ACE also ranked the University second in psychology and geography. The' ACE survey data gathered in 1969 rated 23 of the Univer- sity's graduate programs among the top 10 in the nation. In a 1964 survey, 22 of the University's graduate programs were in the top 10. The 1969 ACE survey covered 36 departments at 130 institutions while the 1964 survey included 29 departments at 106 schools. Vice President and Dean of Graduate School Stephen Spurr said that while the University con- tinues in the top rank, the ACE survey has limitations and "it is a serious error to judge the over- all quality of the graduate school from the ACE ratings." Spurr noted "the ACE ratings record prestige as viewed by a de- partment's peer faculty members across the country and do not necessarily reflect quality either of the faculty or of the graduate program." Furthermore, Spurr pointed out that the survey covers only about two-thirds of the University's graduate offerings in liberal arts, engineering and medical science Ph.D. programs, while other pro- fessional schools and smaller fields are not covered. t, who is retired, is a sup- of local peace groups. NEW POLITICAL PARTY Local radicals plan campaign By LINDA DREEBEN Ann Arbor's new independent, radical party held its first convention last month to decide how the party will conduct its upcoming city elections campaign. Approximately seventy-five c i t i z e n s, miostly students, attended the five-hour session, called by an ad hoc group-dissatis- fied with the Harris administration and the two-party system in general. The ad hoc group formed the party to provide Ann Arbor voters with a "democratic left alter- -To support AFSCME employees in the current contract negotiations; -To hold a second convention January 22-24 for the purpose of nominating candi- dates, formulating a platform, and organ- izing a permanent party structure; -To elect a temporary steering commit- tee to act until the January convention. The convention decided to run a "write- in sticker campaign" after debating and rejecting the possibility of appearing on thel hont h uing- the name of GArae believed that people would ignore the name and the association with Wallace. However, David Goldstein, a lawyer, countered that "the key issue is what will happen after April. The party needs in identity. You doi't get that identity by running on AlP."

Immediately following their dis- closure, however, high level Demo-' crats held. a closed meeting at which members of the student and black communities, it was learned, assured Harris of their constiu- tencies' support. A source close to the mayor, said last night that the outcome1 of this meeting, along with hisl desire to defend rather than de- sert his administration, were Har- ris' major reasons for seeking aj second term. In addition to the mayorship, five City Council seats will be con- tested in this spring's balloting. Only one councilman, Robert Fa-I ber (D-2nd Ward), will seek re-1 election to his seat. In the First Ward, which is heavily Democratic, Republican Spurr said, "We have shown improvement in 14 fields, pri- marily in the social sciences, and a loss in rating in 13 fields, re- maining constant in one of the 28 in whic wpw~r ra- over the The action was a result of a re- samma :..
