THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, March 13, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, March 13, 1974 ,egler says ono' to nore tape releases More rent study urged (Continued from Page 1) seeking a confrontation, but sev- eral times in the briefing he re- ferred to Nixon's constitutional re- sponsibilities and contended that the committee's request ran coun- ter to the doctrine of separation of powers. Ziegler's comments came shortly after Rep. Edward Hutchinson of Michigan, the committee's senior Republican, said the White House had begun to deliver the tapes the committee was requesting. Asked about this, Ziegler said Hutchinson apparently was refer- -ring to other materials the White House already has agreed to pro- vide. HOUSE JUDICIARY Committee members were uncertain whether Students prot est Rehnquist appearance (Continued from Page 1) Hall at around 1 p.m. A mob of hissing protesters met him at the entrance but allowed him to pass into the building. Inside the room where the com- petition was to be held, black stu- dents and black members of the Lawyers Guild presented Rehnquist with a letter' terming his voting record blatantly discriminatory and stating that Rehniquist was "not, welcome in Ann Arbor." NEXT, NINE protesters repre- senting Supreme C o u r t justices stood up, five wearing Nixon masks to symbolize the President's court appointees. Law student Bill Harris, acting as chief 'justice, slammed down a book and declared, "This meeting is adjourned!" after which the mock court filed out of the room. A witness at the closed gather- ing claimed Rehnquist appeared visibly shaken by the succession of incidents. REHNQUIST WAS invited to at- tend this year's Campbell Compe- tition mainly because he was "un- able to attend" last year's contest, according to law school officials. Each year a Supreme Court jus- tice is invited to attend the com- petition. Last year a protest to "welcome" Rehnquist was staged, but the judge never arrived. Observers who attended both demonstrations said this year's was larger and more active. Ziegler was making the definition of charges a condition of coopera- tion. Chairman Peter Rodino (D-N.J.) told newsmen the committee has no intention of preparing charges before it gathers all the evidence it thinks it needs. Rep. Robert McClory (R-Ill.) said if the White House intends to withhold the additional material the committee is seeking on such grounds, "it definitely signals a serious confrontation between Con- gress and the executive branch." RODINO HAD KEPT details of the additional request secret under the committee's rules of confi- dentiality, and the White House leak of the letter of request anger- ed many members. Speaker plugs media use (Continued from Page 1) discussed and what should not." Youngblood emphasized the need for a decentralized, twd-way com- munications system. "Communications t o o 1 s a r e evolving," he said. "These include cable television networks with pub- lic access and private leased chan- nels and portable video and tape equipment at a price the public can afford. We have to get these tools mass produced." YOUNGBLOOD suggested the establishment of a publicly financ- ed National Information Utility to "provide public access to informa- tion and communication channels." "There is immediate relevance in communications problems," con- cluded Youngblood. "I deal with realities now, not in a Flash Gor- don future."

No such statement ap- pears in the report. Commission chairwoman Candra Newman of the Institute for Social Research said the possibility of rent control support had been dis- cussed in the late fall and was approved in a straw ballot, but that no formal vote was ever con- ducted. Ehrlich also slammed the group for not being aggressive enough in gathering information and said that he proposed a landlord survey when the commission first met. NEWMAN acknowledged that Ehrlich proposed a survey, but claimed it had various problems and Ehrlich never bothered to dis- tribute the version the group even- tually approved. She added that the commission believed such a study exceeded the scope of the body given its time limits and fi- nancial resources. Moreover Ehrlich contended that his minority report - which sup- ports rent control - was not in- cluded in the official document (unlike Rose's dissenting state- AP Photo ment) because the information would "be to the detriment of thet other findings." He, however, made his report public in advance of the overall commission findings, and conse- quently the other commissioners found no reason to include it, ac- cording to Newman. THIS TYPE of bickering troub- led the commission from the out- set and clearly impeded its oper- ations. But the group had unfor- tunately been presented with an originaltask far beyond the grasp of a volunteer body. The commission has uncovered much initial information about the Ann Arbor rental market and has made a number of policy recom- mendations - some valid and some probably not. Having done the best they could in the face of multiple problems - lack of time and money coupled with internal strife - the commissioners have urgently requested council to con- tinue their work. The plea seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Apparently nothing will be done to improve a situation which the rent control commis- sion, despite its wrangling, agreed needs immediate attention.
