Most of the candidates claim "across-the-board" support, and several are already involved in city politics. The only contested positions in the primary are those of the mayor and the Fourth Ward councilperson. Each contest pits experience against the advantages of a fresh view of the political system. Three Democrats are in contention for the mayoral seat being vacated by Democrat Robert Harris. Franz Mogdis, generally conceded the position of front-runner, primaryac has worked as a planning commissioner for nine years. According :o Democratic party sources, he is "more or less the party choice"; not actually selected by, but well-known to, all the "organizational people." Mogdis says that he agrees with Harris' moves in several areas, but he adds that he is "much more strongly opposed" to commercial developments than Harris was. And to back this up, he promises to push for an "immediate moratorium on all new road construction." Mogdis cites "accountability" to citizens and more emphasis on affirmative action programs that will get women into higher level government positions as the other main issues. John Feiner sees his lifetime residency in the city as one major difference between himself and his two mayoral opponents. FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS cents outh "I remember Ann Arbor how it used to be, when we had fabulous fire and police protection and a bus system that really worked. I'd like to get it back to that," Feiner said. Feiner describes himself as a "middle-of-the-roader" who "kind of buys" some Human Rights Party (HRP) ideas. And he views garbage pick-up, transportation, police procedures ("We've got to stop breaking and entering") and fire protection as major problems. Robert Elton says he is more liberal than Mogdis ("almost tending toward HRP policies") and far more liberal than Feiner, who he terms "primarily Republican." "Feiner's only running," Elton claims, "because he and Bruce Benner (R-Fourth Ward) want to see a Republican mayor in this town, no matter what party he says he is on." See DEMOCRATIC, Page 8 Regents ok hike Tne Regents yesterday put their rubber-stamp on dorm rate hikes of 5.1 per cent for the 1973-74 academic year. The increase was called for by the Housing Policy Committee last month. Henry Johnson, vice president for student services, told the Regents the increase was necessary to cover rising costs in labor, food, services and utilities. Faculty protest A faculty committee yesterday called Gov. William Milliken's proposal to equate faculty wage hikes with civil service increases "unrealistic and inequitable." The group claimed that in the past six years, salary and wage fringe benefits for civil service em- ployes have exceeded University compensation by 10.5 per cent. Thus they argue, only a greater increase for University people can rectify the situation.

Dope notes Newsday, a New York paper, charged yesterday that Gaston Deffere, mayor of Marseilles, France, has protected one of the country's biggest heroin smugglers. The article claimed that in return for finances and manpower for his campaigns, the mayor has protected the smuggler on numerous occasions . . . Also yesterday, three ship officers-were charged with smuggling eight tons of marijuana into the United States from Mexico. The seizure is reported to be the largest in history, with a street value esti- mated at some $4 million. The ships in question have been used in a number of TV programs including Mr. Roberts.

Monster protected The Arkansas Senate yesterday passed a bill making it il- legal to assault a monster reportedly seen off and on during the past 100 years in the northeastern part of the state.

Calley conviction 11s upheld By AP and UPI WASHINGTON - An Army court yesterday upheld the conviction and 20-year sentence of 1st Lt. William Calley for his part in the My Lai massacre. "He committed an atrocity" and the approved sentence is not too severe a consequence of his choos- ing to commit mass murder," the court said. In its 104-page opinion, the court{ also denied Calley's petition for a new trial and upheld the original court-martial ruling that he be dis- missed from the Army and forfeit all pay and allowances. Calley, now 29, originally was sentenced to life imprisonment af- ter a courtumartial at Ft. Ben- ning, Ga., found him guilty of the premeditated murder of "not less than 22 Vietnamese" and of assault with intent to murder a Vietna- mese child. Capt. Houston Gordon, Calley's military lawyer expressed disap- pointment with the review court's decision but said, "We were not surprised." Gordon said he would appeal the decision to the higher Court of Military Appeals, comprised of three civilian judges and often called the supreme court of the armed forces. Calley's attorneys had argued that there were 32 errors in the conduct of the trial, mostly intri-1 cate legal points questioning theJ manner in which the charges were framed, the admissibility of some evidence and the authority of the court martial to try Calley. The courtaturned down a num- ber of the technical claims, in- cluding one that Calley was not subject to military jurisdiction at the time of trial,aand that the court martial was improperly constitut- ed, unlawfully controlled by mili- tary superiors, and was influenced by pretrial publicity. At Ft. Benning, an Army spokes- person said Calley would not be permitted to make any public statement. "He is still a prisoner, and he is still confined to his quar- ters," the spokesperson said. But Calley's civilian and military attorneys said they would seek a review of the decision by the Court' of Military Appeals, the military equivalent of the Supreme Court. The military-appeals panel is com- posed of three civilian judges. *HEW found slack in enforcing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -By AP and UPI WASHINGTON - The Nixon administration was ordered yesterday to begin desegregation en- forcement within 60 days against hundreds of schools and colleges in 17 Southern and border states. U. S. District Court Judge John Pratt ruled that time "has long since passed" for the gov- ernment to enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act and subsequent Supreme Court decisions. The 1964 Civil Rights Act, which Pratt cited, prohibits discrimination in any program or fa- cility that receives federal money. Pratt's action implements his ruling last No- vember declaring the Department of Health, Ed- ucation and Welfare (HEW) "has not properly Heicptrhit; P( releases threaten( By The Associated Press and Reuters A U.S. Army helicopter was shot down 50 miles not yesterday as communist and government forces traded of ceasefire violations and the prisoner of war releasest grind to a halt.

The timetable of deadlines could lead to a new wave of enforcement hearings and cutoffs of federal funds to segregated districts. The administration is expected to appeal, the order. The Justice Department and HEW, however, said no decision had been made on whether to appeal Pratt's ruling. But any appeal probably would delay implementation of his order at least until the beginning this fall of the 1973-74 school year. HEW had argued that it lacks the staff to mount a widespread enforcement effort. Last year, the department pledged that it would not cut off aid to any district in which deseg- regation would require busing pending congressional action on the administration's anti-busing legis- lation. Pratt ruled, however, that the government must "commence en- rth of Saigon forcement proceedings" where it i accusations has determined that violations ex- threatened to ist.

EDUCATIONAL UTOPIA?: OHS has By DAVID STOLL Designed to be an educational utopia, the city's Community High School opened its doors for the first time last September and has had trou- bles ever since. Students and teachers were recruited from other schools on a volunteer basis, and the stu- dents were given a significant role in selecting those teachers who were actually hired. Th'e program was to be flexible enough to al- low a great deal of tailoring to individual stu- dent's needs. Students were to be in close con- tact with teachers and allowed to pursue their own interests at their own pace. Teachers were to be given' freedom to experiment. Most notable of the school's innovations were the "community resource" courses, work-study opportunities designed to get students out of the trou bles. classroom and into the community. Since it opened, however, Community has suffered repeated budget cuts, more than its share of bad publicity, and internal problems fully proportionate to the boldness of its pro- grams. "The idea is great," says one student recent- ly, "but the plans were totally idealistic." In one way or another, most of the people around the school will agree with her. The smallest of Ann Arbor's three high schools, Community has an enrollment of only 550. stu- dents. Teachers tend to go by their first names. A recreation room downstairs contains a juke- box, a pop machine, and ping pong and pool tables. All day long students are to be found con- gregating in halls, offices and lounges See EXPERIMENTAL, Page 8 ... '".. C3Ci. : 'i h\aC.s.:.vp.. '% . ttQ; i+ ''Ut _ \:..t. "' ...:. . r... fi. .. ....
