The cars, which cost $3398 each, are beginning to. arrive and will go into service as soon as the old ones run up too much mileage. The city had to buy the cars because of a clause in the policemen's contract which says they don't have to drive cars that have more than 42,000 miles - which for a police car is a little less than one year's work. The cars were purchased under last year's budget. The joy of psoriasis No flaking and itching for University biomedical in- vestigators John Voorhees and Elizabeth Duell. The pair, both professors in the Department of Dermatology, received the International Taub Award for Psoriasis Re- search. The award carries a $1,000 honorarium and is given periodically when it is determined that a signifi- cant advance has been made in the understanding of psoriasis. Voorhees and Duell are conducting a long-term investigation on the molecular pathology of abnormal cell growth which results in psoriasis and skin cancer. In the reel world Patrons at Thursday night's 11 o'clock showing of the skin flick "The Devil in Miss Jones" were treated to an exhibition of real skin when a streaker leaped down the steps of the Natural Science Aud. and hopped across the lab table with arms outstretched in the infamous victory sign. He returned for an encore to a standing ovation by the crowd, and then leaped back up the steps to join a clothed confederate. Oops! In yesterday's Daily we mistakenly reported Martha.

Batter up The executive board of Little League Baseball, Inc., unanimously voted yesterday to appeal to the New Jersey Supreme Court an order that girls be allowed to com- pete with boys this year on the baseball diamond. Af- ter a day-long meeting, the board directed its ,ttorneys, to proceed immediately with its appeal of a civil rights order concerning the use of girls by a tittle League in Hoboken, N.J. The order directed that if there is any Little League competition in the Garden State this year, girls must be allowed to participate. The Little League board, while taking no further stand on whe- ther girls should play, simply issued the brief state- ment that the civil rights order would be appealed. How- ever, a spokesperson for the league indizated he did not feel girls would compete with boys in any sanctioned leagues this year in the United States. On the inside . . . .

Sentencing of the 33-year- old Chapin, now an airline vice president on leave, .was set by U. S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell for May 15. Chapin will remain free with- out bond. "I'm going to continue to fight for my innocence," Chapin told re- porters afterwards.. "On the day I was indicted I went out on my front lawn and said I was inno- cent. I intend to fight this thing all the way through." He also said "obviously I am very disappointed. The judge threw out one count of the indictment, the jury threw out one count and on a portion of another I was found not guilty." He said he and his wife will re- tvrn to their home in Winnetka, Ill., a suburb of Chicago by Mon- day vhen he must report to a pro- bation officer. ININEDIATELY A F T E R the verdict, delivered by a jury that deliberated nearly 11% hours, Chapin walked over to his weeping wife and kissed her. He was the eighth former White House aide convicted either by guilty plea or trial. After the jury had deliberated about 8 hours Thursday and yes- terday its foreman, Charles Wes- lev sent a note to Judge Gesell: "Request legal definition of be- yond reasonable doubt." Judge Gesell repeated that por- tion of instructions which he had given before sending the three- count perjury charge against President Nixon's former White House secretary to the jury a day earlier. "It is a doubt based on reason," Judge Gesell said-not fanciful or whimsical and not to a point of See CHAPIN, Page 2 Nixon's coning! WASHINGTON (Reuter) - President Nixon yesterday de- cided to campaign for Repub- lican candidate John Sparling in Michigan next week and face a risky test of public reac- tion to his own Watergate and tax problems. As party leaders there squabbled over whether Nixon's presence would help or hurt, the White House an- nounced he would fly to Michi- gan April 10 to campaign for John Sparling, who is hoping to win a House of Representa- tives' seat that has been Re- publican for the past 42 years.

Nixon loverS h1 rwMall over land By MARY LONG "We have won our day in court against the Re- gents", a jubilant Elmer White, attorney for the Chip- pewa, Ottowa and Potawatomy Tribe said. The controversial case initially stems from the Treaty of Fort Meigs, drafted and signed in 1817. Most of the articles of the Treaty dealt with cash sale of Indian lands; however in Article 16 the tribes con- veyed 4,000 acres of land to the University. No money was paid for this land, but in exchange the University agreed to educate the children of the tribes signing the treaty. "The University put a promise in writing to edu- cate Indian children - the question is simply whe- ther or not this is going to be enforced," White ex- plained. "Judge Edward Deake rendered a very scholarly and tightly reasoned opinion in denying an immediate ruling to the Regents. Now we have won the right to have a trial," he noted.

In the suit, the Regents had claimed that Article 16 of the treaty did not create an obligation as a matter of law. Deake believes that article 16 is ambiguous in meaning and depending upon the evidence presented at the trial, it could be interpreted to support either the plaintiffs' claim or the defendant's. "SOME SAY THAT even at this point we have been in court too long," Attorney White commented, "but those who learn of this case generally agree with me that the complexity and power of the ideas and forces joined here require that the court move slowly but surely toward its responsibility of insur- ing that justice is done." At the time of the initial filing of this class action lawsuit, August 1971, less than 20 native American students were enrolled in the University. See INDIANS, Page 8 By SARA RIMER "I think he's the greatest Presi- dent we've ever had or ever will have," gushed Mabel Johnson of Pittsfield Township at the Wash- tenaw County "Support 'the Presi- dent" Committee's petition drive held yesterday in Briarwood Mall from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. By 2:00 p.m. only 50 people had signed' the petition, echoing John- son's administration, but George Rinderspacher of Southfield re- mained expectant. He said, "It's terrific. At Westland shopping cen- ter we got 1500 signatures in two days. Our goal is 22,000." The drive's bleak headquarters, set apart from Briarwood's main crush of shoppers in a bare ob- scure room, and its sparse turn- out were in marked contrast to Wednesday's D i a g impeachment rally that drew 400 protesters, but several people traveled to the mall for the express purpose of signing the petition. N I X 0 N SUPPORTER Lloyd Johnson, who owns Whitehall Con- valescent Homes, remarked, "I told. the manager we're going to charge him for all the people we're bringing in." Johnson celebrated his birthday yesterday ocmmenting, "I can't think of a nicer way of spending i."n His wife Mabel explained her support of Nixon, "There's a con- spiracy against him. He's com- pletely helpless. He can't stand up for himself." Commenting on his connection with Watergate, she continued, "He's absolutely not guilty. There's no man more sincere and honest." A woman from Saline agreed saying, "It's all drummed up. Nixon's too brilliantdto have been involved." Mabel Johnson concluded her support of Nixon with, "Even Kis- singer takes orders from him." RINDRSPACHER expressed his admiration saying, "We think he's done wonderful things. Imagine what he could do if people would ever let him." The day's Nixon supporters con- demned the press for what one man termed, "trying, judging, and practically hanging him (Nixon)." Another man singled out The Michigan Daily charging, "I think The Michigan Daily is terrible. You're so biased you shouldn't be allowed to publish." One woman who noticed The Daily's r e p o r t e r commented, See LOCAL, Page 2 't committee Party candidate obbin Maisel and presenting the Ann ly, 10-15 boycotters rd, set off down y to picket Steph- Agothecary, Food ge Corner.

Stephan said boycott he was afraid he would get in trouble for discriminating against Gallo wine, but would boycott if they checked into it for him. A Village Corner employe re- portedly told Bullard, "It's more fun to smoke dope with you on the Diag than to talk to you about Gallo." MEANWHILE, the UFW's pro- gram of regularly picketing Wrig- ley supermarkets in Michigan was threatened by a temporary re- straining order by Oakland County Circuit Judge John O'Brien. O'Brien ordered a curtailment of the UFW demonstrations by per- mitting only two people at a time to picket at any one store. The judge further specified that the union must stop interference with the movement of people and goods at the stores, and must stop displaying signs and distributing leaflets urging a boycott of the stores. THE EX PARTE restraining or- der was issued on the basis of a complaint by Allied Supermarkets, Inc., which operates Wrigley stores. It is a temporary order that will remain in effect until O'Brien rules on the company's lawsuit requesting a total ban on picketing. Both Teamster and UFW representatives will be present at the hearing. Eseli's opinion on impeachment hinges on House SGC elections set for preregistration investigation By TOM DEKORNFELD Congressman Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) said he was delaying his decision on impeachment of Presi- dent Nixon until all the facts - notably those of the House Judiciary Committee .- are in, during a meet- ing here yesterday. "I will reserve judgment until the house Judiciary Committee completes its findings," Esch announced yesterday at a meeting organized by the Ann Arbor Committee to Impeach Nixon. "This particular vote is not based on popularity or lack of popularity," Esch explained, "Or even if most people want him impeached, but on the facts turned up by the House Judiciary Committee." LIKEWISE, IT will be the Committee's definition of a "high crime or misdemeanor" that Esch will use to judge those findings. But if the President should refuse to comply with a Committee subpoena, Esch said he would consider this an impeachable offense. Asked why Nixon has refused to fully co-operate thus far with the Watergate investigators, Esch re- fused to give an opinion, saying that as an elected By PAUL TERWILLIGER Student Government C o u n c i I (SGC) decided Thursday night to hold new elections during spring preregistration of classes.
