Streak note The Daily streaking bureau was caught with its pants down Tuesday when a "streak for impeachment"' oc- curred and went unreported herein. Apparently a nude woman, almost totally covered with body paint and sporting an "Impeach the President" bumper-sticker on her "bumper," streaked the Law Library Tuesday night - and she was noticed by the studious law stu- dents there, contrary to expectations. "I received a standing ovation," the streaker boastfully claimed yes- terday. Black art symposium "Black Art: Where it's at . . . Where it's going!" is the title of a symposium that begins at 10 a.m. today in the Faculty Lounge of the Michigan Union - the center for the symposium's two days of activities. "Black artists at this symposium will be giving their defini- tions of whatthey do," Jon Lockard of the Center for Afro-American and African Studies says. "Time and again there has been confusion over the works of black artists and the discipline of black art." For further schedule information call 764-5513 or 662-8028.

Chet Huntley dies Chet Huntley, whose resonant voice and rough-hewn face became familiar to millions on the nightly tele- vision news, died yesterday in his mountain resort home. He was 62. He underwent surgery for lung cancer in January but had remained active until recent weeks. Huntley was teamed for 14 years with David Brinkley on NBC's Huntley-Brinkley Report. He quit in 1970 and returned to his native Montana to develop the $20 mil- lion Sig Sky resort complex. The Huntley-Brinkley team was formed at the 1956 political conventions, and their nightly news program went on to become part of Ameri- can folklore.

A 9'v9 ;e! aIiJ>r Voters By STEPHEN SELBST City voters will go to the polls April 1 to decide wlether to amend the City Charter to make posses- sion use or sale of cannabis sativa-more common- ly known as marijuana-punishable by a $5 fine. The proposed law has garnered controversy for its $5 fine provision as well as several clauses outlining the scope and direction of police and city prosecu- tions of marijuana. The key clauses: * Directing city police to turn suspected violators over to the city attorney, avoiding state or county law enforcement authorities; " direct the city attorney to prosecute only un- der the city law; * Render the city law "null and void" should the state "enact lesser penalties" or "repeal entirely" penalties for use or possession, and * Require only appearance at City Hall for pay- ment of tickets in the event of conviction. POLITICAL parties in the city have taken different to decide on $5 grass law postures on the issue, paralleling with their various ideologies. City Republicans have come out solidly against the issue, with none of their candidates for Council en- dorsing the proposal. Aside from general philosophical reservations about grass use, Republicans contend this specific charter amendment, directing police to turn violators over' to the city attorney rather than to the state, is il- legel. Likewise, they argue that the section requiring the city attorney to prosecute under the city law-and no other-is similarly unconstitutional. IN ADDITION, the local GOP has adopted a pos- ture of opposition to any proposal which would leave the city with a law more liberal than the state's. "I've been saying all along that we've got to be consistent with the state law," remarks Council- man William Colburn (R-Third Ward). Neither Col- burn nor any other Republican candidate has de- viated from that stance. The present state law for possession or use of dope carries a maximum jail sentence of 90 days and a fine of up to $100. THE HUMAN Rights Party (HRP), which initiated the petition drive for the referendum, is naturally supporting the proposal, with all HRP City Council candidates, declaring their support. In addition, HRP has coordinated and backed most of the efforts designed to gain passage of the amend- ments. The party contends that the proposal has a good chance of being passed, despite a feeling of uncer- tainty and pessimism among other political observers in the city. HRP bases its claim on allegedly widespread sup- port they have received on the pot issue. They claim tremendous response among their natural allies, the students, in Wards One and Two, as well as sur- See VOTERS, Page 10 Congress MAYOR STEPHENSON- "Pot dealers are a so- cial blight and must be driven out of business." disputes White House claim cooperation of full AP Photo THAT MAN WITH THE FUNNY LOOK on his face i; none other than President Nixon, shown in the midst of a morning chat with waitress Marie "Shrimp" Hamilton (left) at a drugstore near Nixon's hotel in Houston yesterday.

DETROIT SPEECH: Ells berg attacks Nixon By GORDON ATCHESON special To The Daily DETROIT - Richard Nixon has seriously undermined the power of the presidency by failing to give Watergate investgiators all the White House tapes and documents they have requested, according to Daniel Ellsberg. But Ellsberg-himself a victim of the administration's transgressions -views the deterioration 3f the presidency as a "healthy proess" which will help return an equitable House passes wage bill WASHINGTON (P) - The House passed a bill last night raising the minimum wage to $2 an hour this year for most workers covered and to $2.30 for all by 1978. It also ex- tends coverage to 7 million more persons, including household em- ployes. The bill, approved 375-37, is a modified version of the one Presi- dent Nixon vetoed last year. He is expected, however, to sign this one if it is finally approved after 4.d- justment with a similar Senate- passed measure, although it does not meet all of his earlier objec- tions.

During the past three decades the nation's highest office has been cloaked in secrecy that can "Wnly cause t e r r i b 1 e corruption and abuse" such as America's Vietnam fiasco and the myriad Watergate scandals, Ellsberg said yesterday.

Leaders of the Democratic- ally - controlled C o n g r e ss, backed by a prominent lib- eral Republican senator, Ja- cob Javits of New York, dis- puted the Presidents conten- tions that he is cooperating as much as he can with the impeachment investigation now underway in Congress. NIXON'S ATTACKS on Congress during his nationally televised ap- pearance Tuesday night before the National Association of Broadcast- ers (NAB) in Houston touched off a counter reaction in both the Sen- ate and House. Members took exception to the President's efforts to portray the House Judiciary Committee as act- ing unconstitutionally in seeking more White House tape recordings and documents for the impeach- ment probe it is now conducting. Nixon also accused Congress of dragging its feet in dealing with the energy shortage. Assistant Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd, who has sup- ported the President on many is- sues in the past, said of the Hous- ton statements "This is an un- justified and vicious attack on Congress whose performance is a good one." THE DEMOCRATIC leader in the House Rep.CThomas O'Neill of Massachusetts said "He is en- gaged in one of his favorite diver- sion tactics, appearing before a friendly audience and criticizing Congress." The Speaker of the House, Carl Albert said "I don't see how the House can act unconstitutionally on a constitutional responsibility." He was referring to Nixon's state- ment last night that the President can be impeached only for "trea- son, bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors." The President added in his appearance before the NAB "I am suggesting that the House follow the Constitution. If they do, I will." facuy salaries By JEFF SORENSEN The board of regents of Eastern Michigan University (EMU) yes- terday adopted a resolution ordering public disclosure of salaries of all fulltime employes of the university. When the regents approve the minutes at their next meeting, the information on individual salaries will be filed in the EMU library, and will open for general inspection. THE MOVE promises to revive the issue of disclosure of salaries of University of Michigan employes. Despite efforts by The Daily and other organizations to force dis- closure, the University has kept salary information secret contending that release would constitute invasion of privacy. The Daily, SGC, and others have maintained that full salary dis- closure-including names, positions, and duration of service-would reveal glaring discrimination against women, and nonwhites, and finan- cial favoritism toward "big name" professors. Last August State Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley declared in a formal opinion that the names and salaries of public employes, including pro- fessors and administrators at tax-supported educational institutions, must be considered public record. The University, however, chose to withhold salary lists because the decision was not legally binding. The move caught University officials by surprise. University General Counsel Roderick Daane said he was unaware of the decision but that "my offhand reaction would be that it wouldn't affect the University at all." Regent Gertrude Huebner said she had been unaware of the move but commented that the Regents would likely give the issue "more consideration." She said she wouldn't vote for public disclosure without a polling of the faculty: "If the faculty wanted it, I would support the idea." Huebner also said that disclosure "wouldn't bring out that women and Blacks are being discriminated against; it would only show that See EMU, Page 7 At the heart of the issue is the* White House's contention that the Presidentcan be impeached only for indictable crimes. The White House so far has refused to pro- vide additional Watergate-related tapes to the Judiciary Committee and Nixon last night again tried to portray the .panel as engaging in a fishing expedition in White House files. REP. PETER RODINO (D-N.J.) chairman of the Judiciary Com- mittee, said "There is a contra- diction when efforts to determine whether the office of the Presi- dent is being faithfully executed are met with the claim that the faithful execution of the office pre- cludes disclosure of the relevant facts." During today's Judiciary Com- mittee meeting, John Doar, the panel's chief counsel disputed the President's statements that out- side agencies should not be al- lowed to look at White House files. He said James St. Clair, the President's chief defense lawyer, said a staff aide to Leon Jawor- Cee CONGRESS, Page 7 EMU. to publish Murray doubts effectiveness of proposed all-female rape squad By LAURIE GROSS C i t y Administrator Sylvester Murray expressed skepticism to- wards provisions in the controver- sial HRP anti-rape resolution at a public hearing yesterday. The HRP proposal, which is scheduled for another public hear- ing at City Council Monday night, ...rmI - -tn - h nn nilf .m - rn HOWEVER, Betsy Engel, HRP party co-ordinator, believes the rape squad can only be effective as presently proposed. "I don't want to see the police department establish control of this unit," she stated. "We want the people in the rape unit to have the status of police o f f i c e r s." said Councilwoman "recommends that specific atten- tion be paid to the prevention of rapes; the unit be administered as suggested in the proposal and that there be investigation and analysis of rape done by police officers." Murray voiced support of other aspects of the proposal such as. better street lighting and 24-hour free transportation.
