TU warns
of lease
problems
(Continued from page 1)
summer at a reduced rate to pay
the difference in advance.
According to James Carter of
White, Bell and Carter, attorneys
for Dahlmann, these clauses exist
because "around this time of year
some tenants stop paying their
rent. This lease gives us the right
to demand the full rent in advance
so we don't have to sue them every
month."
Yet another clause says Dahl-
mann can keep the tenant's secur-
ity deposit if he is late with his
rent. In such cases the deposit
would not apply to the rent.
TU says this is withholding of
deposits among Ann Arbor land-
lords. "One student last year did
not get his damage deposit back,"
relates a TU member. "He went
around to the other tenants in .his
building and convinced ten other
tenants to give him one-tenth 'of his
deposit. The other tenants then
withheld that amount from their
next rent payment. The landlord
would have had to sued ten differ-
ent people if he had wanted the
money back."!
Many leases also have a clause
which requires tenants to pay a
"late fee," if they are late in pay-
ing their rent. Penalties such as
late fees are not upheld in court,
says a TU member. "People just
have to start saying no to the land-S
lords and it will work..
Most contracts further bind the
tenant to abide by the landlord's
rules and regulations "even though
most tenants do not see -these rules
before they sign the lease.
Hall's lease -has many new
clauses, a TU spokesman says.
One of thes prohibits waterbeds
and "water or fluid filled furni-
ture".
TU suggests all tenants bring
their copy of their lease to them to
"go over it with a TU lawyer."
Their lawyers "can deal with most
problems that arise from leases"1
said one member.

Regents to consider proposal

(Continued from page 1)
Christeller claims it would be
penalizing the residents of the pro-
posed apartments to make them
pay for their own transportation
when other North Campus resi-
dents receive free bussing.
Feldkamp stresses that the
transportation problem must not
obscure a basic commitment to
the project.
"We have sufficient information
to submit to HUD," Feldkamp
says. However, he adds that it
would be futile to engage in detail-
ed planning such as quantative
calculations on bussing and si t e
development unless the University
makes a commitment to the pro-
ject.

may receive
new hearing
CHICAGO (MP)-The U.S. district
attorney for northern Illinois ask-
ed a federal appeals court yester-
day to hold a new hearing on the
contempt sentences imposed on the
Chicago 7 defendants by Judge
Julius Hoffman.
James R. Thompson, an assist-
ant U.S. district attorney, said
the motion presented to the Sev-
enth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
was ordered by Atty. Gen. John
Mitchell.
Thompson said the hearing was
requested because of the U.S. Su-
preme Court's ruling Jan. 20 that
a trial judge who waits until the
end of a trial to impose sentences
for contempt should let another
judge take his place.
Hoffman of U.S. District Court
imposed contempt sentences Feb.
20, 1970, ranging from two months
to four years for the seven de-
fendants and their two lawyers.
An eighth defendant, Bobby G.
Seale, chairman of the Black
Panther Party, was sentenced for
contempt and severed from the
other defendants earlier in the
trial.
Thompson said the hearing
would not consider the contempt
citations of Seale or the two de-
fense lawyers, Leonard I. Wein-
glass and William M. Kunstler.
Thompson said that a letter
from the attorney general directed
him to file the motion because
"Judge Hoffman lost the power
... to cite and punish those con-
tempts in which he was the victim
of personal attacks since bias
might be presumed from the na-
ture of the attacks."

middlt class" unless it provides an
alternative to the highly priced
dormitories and expensive apart-
ments.
Meanwhile, says Peter Ostafin,
director of University-Community
Relations, a desire for privacy and
independence has doubled the
amount of students. living in
apartments within the last decade.
Ostafin endorses the proposal,
saying that apartments "don't
trap you." He argues that t h e
housing board plan, which aims

for 1,000 units by 1975, will not
be a "monolithic all-or-nothing
apprach," since it will unfold in
gradual stages, with the present
proposal for 250 units being the
first stage.
Fleming has voiced concern that
the onslaught of apartments will
possibly leave some dormitories
empty. He has questioned whether
the housing board would be will-
ing to reinstitute a policy making
it mandatory for freshmen to live
in dormitories.

If the market value of the silk-

total figure could have been sig-
