Insult to injury Steven Speil alias "Spleet" looked out his window Tuesday morning and noticed that his car was nwhere to be seen. He naturally called the police station only to discover that his car had been impounded for $175 in unpaid parking tickets. From the police station, Speil called home to inform his roommate, one Michael Sahn, of the news. Sahn, however, had some news of his own.'The apartment the two share on Forest Court had been burglarized. Sahn then joined his colleague at the police station to report the robbery. Returning home after what could only be described as an incredible day, the two discovered that their apartment had once again been struck. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. The robber must have thought so'too, as he was apprehended by police in his third attempt to hit the apartment. Woman for all seasons? Today received a call yesterday complaining of our dis- criminatory treatment of winter weather. According to the un- identified woman caller, our derogatory terms such as "gloomy" and "frigid" to describe the cold are an affront to those who enjoy winter weather. "Every snow flake has its own beauty," the winter queen said. "If you don't like Michigan weather, go to the University of Miami." Winter, love it or leave it.

The student newspaper, The Lance, reported recently that President Gerry Gagnon used stu- dent government money to buy 20 lids of grass (at $10 each) before a December student referendum was held that asked whether the drug should be legalized. The paper reported the dope purchases were made to help those who have never tried the evil weed vote more intelligently. The grass was allegedly passed out around campus before the vote . . . in other dope news, a young Long Island clamdigger and his wife have ad- mitted giving their three-year-old daughter some marijuana to smoke in hopes that she would gain needed extra weight. Fred- erick and Dorothy Kart, both 20, were arrested at their home Monday night and arraigned Tuesday on a charge of endang- ering the welfare of a minor. Agents said the couple's daughter took a "few drags on a marijuana cigarette" and that Mrs. Kart said she thought the marijuana, and its resultant munchies, would be good for the underweight child. The Karts were re- leased in their own recognizance for a hearing to be set later. Referral agencies hit LANSING - Legislation was introduced yesterday by Sen. Gilbert Bursley (-Ann Arbor) to prohibit unscrupulous persons from capitalizing on abortions by outlawing commercial medical referral agencies in Michigan. "Women are being charged out- rageous prices for what amounts to a phone number," Bursley said. The bill would prohibit any physician, hospital or clinic from entering into agreements accepting referrals from any re- ferral service operating for profit in Michigan or outside the state. The legislation is patterned after a New York law, where referral agencies had been charging as much as $300 for the phone number of an abortionist, though the abortion itself cost only $124 to $135 if the patient contacted the clinic directly or used a non-profit referral agency. Farm prices up Have you been seeing the inside lining of your wallet more lately? You'll be seeing even more of it, because the cost of foodstuffs produced on farms rose by 2.7 per cent last month. Higher prices for beef, pork, poultry, eggs, and fresh vegetables are blamed for the increase. Lansky convicted MIAMI - A federal jury yesterday convicted reputed under- world financier Meyer Lansky of willfully refusing to answer a federal grand jury subpoena. It was Lansky's first conviction since the early 1950s, when he served three months on a minor gambling violation which grew out of the Kefauver hearings into organized crime.

On the inside . . the Arts Page features an article on Anais Nin's speech and works by Jane Dobiji . . . the Editorial Page features another Letter from the Editor entitled "On suing By DAVID BURHENN Student Government Council (SGC), the Daily, the local chapter of the National Organization of Women, and three other local organizations filed suit yesterday to force the University to make public complete lists of the salaries it pays to faculty, staff, and administrators. The suit will receive a March 20 hearing before the State Court of Appeals. In his brief, SGC Legal Advocate Thomas Bentley asks that the following information be released to the public; -The names and total number of University employes and the salary paid to each; -The classification or title of each employe and the length of time he or she has been at the University; -The sex, racial or ethnic background and occupational qualifications of University employes and; -The dollar amount and percentage of the budget that, pays for employe salaries as well as the dollar amount and percentage of student assessments that pay for various University expenditures and funds, such as the athletic or building funds. Eugene Robinson, co-editor-in-chief of the Daily, last night explained the position of the newspaper in asking for the release of the salaries. "We seek," he said, "to force the Regents to disclose faculty salary lists because of what such lists may indicate-possible discrimination by race or sex, or overt padding of the salaries of -i MDakota ternands particularly prestigious but not so industrious professors. "Since the University is funded primarily through funds from students and taxpayers, we believe the students and citizens of this state have a right to know exactly how their money is being spent." SGC president Bill Jacobs called the legal action, "an excellent example of the power that students can exercise through their directly elected council to force the University to accede to their demands." The reaction from administrators was muted and somewhat cautious. Vice-president for Aca- demic Affairs Allan Smith said, "I expect that in respect to the individual salaries being re- leased, the suit will be resisted." Both he and Secretary of the University Richard Kennedy pointed to a July statement by President Robben Fleming as representing the basic posi- tion of the administration. In that statement, made in response to an earlier attempt by the Daily to force release of the salary lists, Fleming said disclosure of the information would constitute an invasion of pri- vacy. Fleming is currently out of town and un- available for comment. In his brief, Bentley wrote, "Clearly, specula- tive harm is not sufficient justification for atax- supported governmental institution to suppress See STUDENT, Page 10 town issue Daily Photo by RANDY EDMONDS VICE-PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS Allan Smith reacts after being served with a suit asking that the University release complete salar y lists.

Indians hostag~es sl eize S. held;C * * * * * rU' to evict victim of drug robbery from East Quad By DAN BIDDLE The University has inform- ed the victim of an armed drug robbery in East Quad that he will receive a 24-hour eviction notice today or to- morrow.l Housing Director John Feld- kamp told Chris Hoitt, '76 yester- day he had violated his dorm lease by "engaging in activities causing danger to other students" and will have to move out of his room by the weekend. And in a meeting held last night Feldkamp told some 150 East Quad students that University policy now calls for "eviction of any student who, by encouraging illegal activities such as the buy- ing and selling of drugs, attracts the threat of armed robbery." The incident involving Hoitt oc- curred last week when two men stole his three ounces of mari- juana at gunpoint after discussing a possible drug sale. Hoitt inform- ed the dorm security force of the robbery, but no suspects have been apprehended. Feldkamp indicated in the ear- lier meeting with Hoitt that the eviction decision was final, but under questioning from several students at the East Quad meet- ing stated that he "will not fin- olize this thing until I've had suf- ficient chance to look at the facts." Hoitt reacted angrily to the an- noinced eviction move. "I never should have trusted Feldkamp or anyone else from the University," he said yesterday. "I am extremely bitter about what (Feldkamp) has done." Hoitt insisted that Feldkamp "doesn't care what effect this has. He's the only one around here who See DRUG, Page 10 By AP, UPI, and Reuters WOUNDED KNEE, S.D.-About 400 militant Indians were in control of this tiny prairie town last night, holding about 10 residents hostage and demanding that two U. S. senators come to their reservation to discuss Indian grievances. A spokesperson for the American Indian Movement (AIM) said the demonstrators had vowed "to die if necessary" unless their de- mands are met. Spokespersons for the Indians-whose numbers reportedly grew from about 200 when the trouble started Tuesday to 400 by yester- day afternoon-said a ceasefire had been arranged with the FBI. Some 90 state law enforcement and FBI agents had sealed off the area, 18 miles northwest of Pine Ridge on the Pine Ridge Reservation for the Oglala-Sioux tribe. South Dakota law officers and agents set up roadblocks around the Pine Ridge Reservation. An Indian spokesman, Carter Camp of Ponca City, Okla., said in a telephone interview that, the hostages had not been hurt and were in no, danger "unless the police come in here and try to annihilate us. "If they come in here shooting, it's going to be pretty hard to distinguish between Indians and white people," Camp, a national coor- dinator of AIM, said. "The hostages are in no danger from Indian people, so they're in the same danger if the law enforcement officials decide to invade." Camp said the Indians were armed, many of them with high- powered rifles. Camp also said the Indians will hold the hostages until Sens. Ed- ward Kennedy of Massachusetts and J. W. Fulbright of Arkansas, both Democrats, come to the 2,500-square-mile Pine Ridge Reservation, the nation's largest. The Indians, seized the town Tuesday night, occupying its handful of buildings, including the Wounded Knee trading post, clearing out artifacts, guns and ammunition.
