Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, March 20, 1,971 Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAiLY Saturday, March 20, 1971 Protester!- beaten for pmphlets By JONATHAN MILLER Donald Wirtanen, '72, was beaten up after distributing leaflets at Hill Tuesday night protesting featured s p e a k e r of Black Liberation W e e k, Immamu Amiri Baraka (Le- roi Jones.) Wirtanen was distributing a leaf- let, published by International Socialists, critical of Baraka's al- leged role in breaking the Newark teachers' strike, outside the audi- torium with two friends. Wirtanen says twomen c a m e out of Hill and told him and his friends to stop distributing t h e leaflet. They confiscated leaflets held' by Alan Kristal, Wirtanen says. "We continued to hand out leaf- lets until 8:30 or 8:45 when the number of people going into Hill decreased and we decided to go over to the classiifed research de- bate at Rackham. "I went to get 'ycle when the two guys cam r and beat me up, the next thing I re- member I was in Health Service," Wirtanen says. Wirtanen was driven, to Health Service by an engineer for a local company who says he witnessed the beating. He has asked that his name not be disclosed. The witness says, "I saw a gen- tleman riding a bicycle north on North University. As he passed Hill Auditorium two Negro males ran alongside the bicycle, the tall- erand heavier ofkthe two on the street side knocked the man and his bicycle to the ground. T h e victim offered no resistance but the same Negro male kicked him in the face very hard. It (the kick) was aimd and delivered as hard as he could make it." "By that time I had stopped my car and parked. By the time I got out of the car, they both ran into Hill," the witness adds. However, Wirtanen says he does not intend to sign a complaint at this time and the witness is pre- pared to testify, awaiting action by Wirtanen. FC N-FM approved (Continued from Page 1) rest with the University Broad- casting Committee, appointed by the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, according to WCBN-FM executive committee member Robert Grimshaw, '71. WCBN, a commercially financed student run AM station, present- ly broadcasts "closed circuit" to the University dormitory buildings and certain apartments. However, it cannot be picked upmore than a few feet away from these spe- cially "wired" buildings. WCBN- FM could broadcast, in the usual manner, to the Ann Arbor area. If the license application, which will be sent to Washington next week, is successful WCBN-FM will begin broadcasting operations by January 1972, station officials es- timate. COUNCIL RACE: Three candidates vie for 2nd ward seat (Continued from Page 1) ing the election of police yields police leaders like Sheriff Doug- las Harvey. He says, however, he hopes to improve police proced- ures and training to enhance po- lice work and local attitudes about the police. De Grieck, on the other hand, advocates community control of police, saying "I consider the police in much the same way as I view the military: you must have civilian control." He re- commends election of this civil- ian control on the local precinct level, and says "We are willing to take a chance on such an election." Although Robinson is concern- Regents meet on housing, (Continued from Page 1) Fleming said that if assurances were not provided that the Uni- versity would remain free of any support for the project, he would oppose it. "We simply cannot take addi- tional obligations when we're des- perately trying to balance our budget," he said. Supporters of the project term- ed this objection "phony" in view of the increased costs for bus service as a result of the comple- tion of the new Northwood V housing on North Campus. Committee member David Chris- teller said "if we solve the trans- portation thing with Fleming, everything will be settled." ed about the crime rate in Ann Arbor, he has not formulated specific proposals to curb it nor does he have any position about the general area of police-com- munity relations. However, he has said he would recommend cooperation among various lev- els of government such as city, county and state on many is- sues including police-work. " The question of student voting rights in Ann Arbor: De Grieck and RIP have suggested that the city clerk (who registers voters) is a tool of the Democrats who are try- ing to discourage student regis- tration. On the contrary," says Faber, "the clerk exercises a certain amount of leeway but he cannot vary a great deal from the letter of the law." However, De Grieck says it is the very law, which dictates that a person shall neither gain nor lose residency by virtue of his being a student, that is part of the problem. "The city charter should be changed so that the qualifications for voting in city elections will be the same as federal rather than state stand- ards. This would allow 18-year- olds to vote." Furthermore, says De Grieck, "the City Clerk under existing law is given much discretion. If he wished, the Mayor could thus appoint a clerk who would re- gister most students, as is the case in Detroit." Robinson says simply, "I do not support all students voting in their college town" because a student's primary ties and re- sponsibilities may be with ano- ther community. Rowry hits fraud eharg (Continued from Page 1) on the Ann Arbor News charges next week. Albert Wheeler, a member of the board, replied that "Council is asking you to comment on a news- paper story, and if they want to know more about it they should go to the newspaper." Wheeler then charged that Coun- cil was only "aggravating the situ- ation" and that he would circulate a statement in a few days in sup- port of Rowry and his actions as Model Cities Policy Board Chair- man. The Model Cities Program, de- signed to improve deteriorating neighborhoods, has been thrown into internal turmoil lately with the firing of a number cf staff members, and persons have also expressed concern that the pro- gram is moving too slowly, with little of over $1 million in funds spent in the last two years. The accusations against Rowry have further increased the tension with- in the program. Rowry claims that "the Univer- sity of Michigan has retracted most of the accusations" made in the Ann Arbor News story. The University, however, has made no public statement on the issues raised by the News story.

The judge, however, denied Gar- ry's request that the jury be in- structed on the basis of that ruling to disregard hearsay testimony in regard to the murder and kidnap- ing. Mulvey said he would do this "at the proper time," possibly mean- ing his final instructions to the jury at the conclusion of the trial. The jury was dismissed for the day as Roraback and Garry filed separate written motions on be- half of their clients to force Sams to undergo a psychiatric examina- tion before he testifies. Conductron was founded in 1960 by former University electrical en- gineering Prof. Keeve Siegel. It was one of the most successful ''spinoff" corporations ever formed by University faculty members. Since University research labora- tories are not in the production business, the opportunity arises for professors to profit from their re- search by setting up private cor- porations.
