Pages ' sets 1-ear residency rule By DAVID BURHENN and REBECCA WARNER A new one-year residence requirement for in- state University tuition status was approved on June' 23 by the Board of Regents after a major University residency clause had been effectively voided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Students applying for in-state tuition rates will also be required to show that they have estab- lished a Michigan domicile, meaning they intend to make the state a permanent home even after graduation from the University. The new University rules are based on require- ments adopted by the University of Minnesota and subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court. Conditiozis considered to have "probative value" in support of a request for resident status ac- cording to the new requirements include: -Continuous presence in the state during per- iods when not enrolled as a student or reliance upon Michigan sources for financial support, -Domicile in the state of family, guardian or other persons legally responsible for the student, -Former domicile in the state and the mainte- nance of contacts in Michigan while absent, Rege nts to vote'on tuition h ike -Ownership of a home in Michigan or admis- sion to a "licensed practicing profession" in the state, and -Commitments to further education in Michi- gan, indicating an, intent to stay here perma- nently, or acceptance of a permanent employ- ment offer in the state. The regulations also list conditions which will not be considered by themselves sufficient to prove residency, iflcluding local voter registration, local automobile registration and "a statement of intentions to acquire a domicile in Michigan." Applications for residency reclassification must; be filed no later than 20 days following the first day of classes of the term for which the decision is sought. Application forms are available from the Student Certification Section, Office of the Reg- istrar, LSA Bldg., University of Michigan. The nature of the form is highly probing, with. questions on the-student's financial status and em-, ployment record to determine how strongly he or she is rooted in the state. University attorney Roderick Daane said that none of the listed criteria for residents are "meant to be controlling" but rather the "spec- trum" of evidence will be weighed by the four- member decision board. The effect the new regulations will have on University income is still unclear, although some officials have estimated that the University stands to lose $2.5 million dollars. Another tuition hike is expected to accompany the new regulations, perhaps as much at 12 to 13 per cent above last year's figures. The Regents were expected to vote on a new tuition schedule for fall at their July meeting. The University's troubles with its residency re- quirements began last May 9 when Circuit Court Judge William Ager axed a rule that prevented students desiring resident status from taking more than three credit hours during a six month period. Ager ruled that students could not be denied the right to establish residence for in-state tuition simply because they -were in attendance at the University. In his opinion Ager wrote, "A student or any other person who becomes of- age has a right to change his residence. The denial of this right or its lawful existence in a situation such as we have in this rule (the residency requirement) which prevents a student from becoming a resident of the State o, Michigan,- is a denial of the United States and, perhaps, Michigan constitutional equal protection guarantees." Ager did, however, make it clear in his opinion that "Michigan is not in a position, nor does it have the duty, to provide opportunity to citizens of other states on the low cost tuition basis that it charges in-state residents." The opinion, which was handed down in the form of a permant injunction, came as a result of a lawsuit filed in -March, 1972, by legal attorney Arthur Carpenter and six out-of-state students. Carpenter said he expects the new regulations "will be proved inadequate to meet fairly the needs of a mobile society." Then on June 18 the U. S. Supreme Court invali- dated the same rule in its verdict on a tuition suit involving the. University of North Carolina. However, one aspect of Ager's ruling will prob- ably still be appealed by the University. The judge ruled that out-of-state students who were enrolled on or after March 1, 1972, would be eligible for rebates on the higher rates they paid during that time if given resident status. GOP unite councilmen to axe local 4 $5pot o By GORDON ATCHESON Amid a circus-like atmosphere -of pie-throwing and heavy marijuana smoking, Anti Arbor's City Council repealed on July 9 the city's controversial $5 marijuana ordinance. The year-old pot law-the most liberal in the nation-was. voted out by a 7-4 tally, with ;Repub- lican council members .onstituting the law's entire opposition. Under the ordinance, conviction for use or sale of the "evil weed" meant merely a $5 fine for the offender. Now, however; state laws governing marl- juana have gone into effect. Conviction for use can result in a jail sentence of up to 90 days and a $100 fine. Possession of more than two ounces of the drug is punishable by up to a year in jail and sale by up to four years. Over 250 people jammed the council chambers to protest the move to repeal the ordinance. Many members of the audience passed joints back and' Cont ens : FRONT SECTION: Summary of summer news, features.

Shortly after the vote two persons hirled several pies at Republican MayorJames Stephenson, who ;had claimed during debate that city laws must be the same as state statutes to be effective. "Pot dealers are a social blight and must be put out of business," he said. Much of Stephenson's s p e e c It, however, was drowsed out by the crowd which cheered Demo- cratic and Human Rights Party (the city's radical left third party) council members. "The Republicans apparently see no difference between a harmless enjoyable weed and dangerous hard drugs," said council member Jerry De Grieck (HRP-First Ward). "If Stephenson and his six lackeys had an ounce 4 of guts they would put the issue on the ballot next April and let the people decide the law's fate," he added. Council member Carol Jones (D-Second Ward) offered an amendment to the repeal ordinance which would have placed the law on the ballot. The amendment was defeated as all the, Republi- cans voted against it. The original $5 ordinance had been given life by a coalition of HRP and Democratic council members who voted its passage in May, 1972. Both parties had advocated legalization of marijuana in their April election campaigns. Yet the $5 proposal did not become law without something of a struggle between the Democrats and HRP. The latter wanted to set the fine for sale and use at 25 cents but found that such a penalty could not be legally enacted. The Democrats thus came up with'a proposal asking for an $11 fine for use but not sale. Finally after several weeks in committee the $5 fine- for sale and use of marijuana emerged as the compromise, which was approved by the Demo- cratic-HRP coalition despite strong Republican ob- jections. But members of all three parties feel the law had little if any effect on dope use in the city. Harris accused the repeal move as "catering to a constituency which enjoys repression." . When the law went into effect last summer, city judges began placing people on probation rather than fining them. Probation sentences of up to two years were not uncommon.

HEW calls ' minority hiring, employment practices deficient' By KATHLEEN RICKE Facing a possible loss of thousands or millions of dollars worth of federal grants, the University has still not met national anti-discrimination *stand- ards .in hiring and employment practices, accord- ing to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). Over two years ago, HEW imposed temporary financial sanctions against 11 schools in addition to the University, charging sex discrimination. At that time, HEW ordered the University to design an affirmative action program. In a May, 1973 letter to President Robben Flem- ing, HEW criticized the University's amended af- firmative action plan as "deficient." Problem areas cited were utilization and upgrading of mi- norities and women, salary equity between female and ,male employes, nepotism policy, hiring place- ment, and personnel file review for alleviation of discriminatory practices. The HEW letter also accused the University of presenting its employment data reports in a de- ceptive manner- to create the impression that af- firmative action goals had been met. Responding to the HEW letter, Uhiversity Af- firmative Action Director Nellie Varner denied that the administration knowingly misrepresented its er ployment statistics on minorities and women. Varner claimerlda theniversit lackerd "avail- taken and timetables for implementing each com- mitment." At press time, the University was expected to submit in late July as ordered, another affirm- ative action program. The present affirmative action plan originated in 1970 after a local group, Ann Arbor Focus on Equal Employment for Women, filed a complaint which initiated HEW's investigation. Varner claimed this June that "after some dis- cussion with HEW, we are in mutual agreement that the affirmative action plan we were already in the process of doing will be an adequate re- sponse" to the recent demands. In its specific criticism of the University em- ployment situation, the HEW letter of findings points out that while the University reports it has recruited more minority and female applicants, 1972 data indicates that the 17 highest. paying po- sitions were filled by 17 white males.
