Erotic art lives SAN FRANCISCO-The world's first museum of erotic art opens next weekend, its walls covered by 2,000 depictions of sex- ual activity. "People think erotic art means a bunch of dirty pictures; they don't understand the quality of art that makes up this collection," said The Rev. Ted McIlvenna, whose Genesis Church owns the museum. The art works will range from the "only unbroken record of Japanese erotic art" to etchings by Picasso. In addition, the museum will have such things for sale as glassware, skirts and pillow cases embossed with erotic de- signs. Any profits will go to the National Sex Forum, an off- shoot of the church which provides sexual therapy and sex edu- cationalmaterials.

Dems split By TERRY MARTIN The few remaining weeks before April's city election are crucial for the city Democratic party and it appears the party's campaign to capture city hall is in deep trouble. Not only are the Democrats fighting their electoral opponents, they are also fighting each other. At the center of the internal struggle is the party's symbolic head, mayoral nominee Franz Mogdis. According to local observers Mogdis was hand-picked by Mayor Harris. But these sources also contend that younger and more radical elements of the party have not, and still do not, "feel terrific loyalty" towards Mogdis. Moreover, the Democrats, who face a hard fight against Human Rights Party (HRP) mayoral candidate Benita Kaimo- witz, appear to have run aground on one of the city's most vola- tile issues-women's rights. ( ver Mogdis All four female Democratic council candidates will be appear- ing on a leaflet along with HRP mayoral candidate Benita Kaimo- witz. The leaflet, put out by the local Women's Political Caucus, does not identify the candidates as Mogdis supporters. Democratic sources claim that party "regulars" have been putting "tremendous pressure" on several of the women to dis- associate themselves from the caucus. All four have declined to do so. A central issue in the split is health and child care facilities. A plank in the Democratic party platform pledges support for the establishment and continuance of such facilities. Yet Democratic councilmen, including First Ward incumbent Norris Thomas, have voted against allocating federal revenue sharing money to a "Women's Community Clinic" which would See DEMOCRATS, Page 8 A dope famine? Not likely, but 0 Deathla proposed By Reuter and AP .:X WASHINGTON - President, Nixon asked Congress yester-, day to reimpose the death penalty for certain federal crimes and set rigid guidelines: under which it would be ap- plied automatically., The President's proposals were. r a special message sent to Con . gress four days after a radio speech in which he denounced "soft headed" judges and attacked! the philosophy that social injustice, rather than the criminal himself'! was responsible for crime. Nixon said his programs for cut- ting crime were working well but now he wanted new laws to plug! the holes in the judicial systemS that weakened law enforcement. "The only way to attack crime in America is the way crime at-! tacks our people-without pity," he declared. The president's most controver- sial proposal-under assault from liberals and civil liberties groups since his radio speech-was for the restoration of the death pen- alty for war-related treason, sabo- tage, espionage, and for other fed- eral crimes where death is the result. The President proposed the res- toration of death sentences to over- come last year's Supreme Court decision outlawing the penalty on the grounds that it was being ap- plied in a capricious and arbitrary manner. After the court's decision, Nixon ordered Atty. Gen. Richard Klein- dienst to come up with a statute I that would allow capital punish- ment while meeting the court's objections. Justice Department attorneysF worked for months on the draft proposal, guided by Nixon's con- tention that "the best way to ac- comodate the reservations of the Fists clenched, t court is to authorize the automatic~ it lnhd imposition of the deathapenalty! Four other POW where it is warranted." members of the See DEATH, Page 8 who are on their SACKED FOR LONG H AIR? prices may rise By JONATHAN MILLER In February it was 14,000 lbs. of marijuana con- fiscated in Los Angeles. Two weeks ago the govern- ment picked up nine tons of weed in Florida. Last week in Ann Arbor 400 pounds of reefer was nabbed by the cops. Tuesday, the government grabbed 25 tons of the stuff on the. Arizona-Mexican border. Does all this mean that American pot heads will face a dope shortage this year? The answerto that is: Probably not. Almost everyone, from a spokesman for the Bu- reau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) to street dealers in Ann Arbor, agrees that the size of the marijuana market is now so great that a few random busts, however large, will likely have no great impact on the traffic. At most, these experts say, these big seizures will merely driven even higher the already inflated price of weed. Accurate statistics on the marijuana industry are hard to come by, but an educated guess by the city police department here is that upwards of 1,000 lbs. of marijuana a week are imported and sold in Ann Arbor. If the figure is correct and dealers interviewed by this reporter concur with the police estimate- even last week's haul of 400 pounds cannot be ex- pected to have more than a temporary impact on the local market-and that seizure was the biggest in Ann Arbor's history. Explains Lt. Calvin Hicks, head of the drug squad at the city police department: "These sizeable confiscations have a tendency to create a cooling off period whereby the smuggling and transportation end drop off for a while. The dealers slack off and try to read how much heat law enforcement is putting on." But even Hicks concedes that the effects of the raids are at best temporary, and unless more seiz- ures are made the traffic soon gets back to normal. The attitude of the BNDD is somewhat similar. Hank Price, a spokesman for BNDD, told The Daily that no-one at his agency was under any pre- tensions that even the big raids announced recently would have a marked effect on the overall traffic. "It's going to take time," Price said. "But we are starting to get closer to the sources." Keith Stroup, director of a Washington-based lob- by group called the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said in a telephone in- terview that the recent busts, though "clearly the See DEALERS, Page 8 PRIVILEGE ISSUE: Nixon refuses Senate request to hear aide WASHINGTON (Reuter)-President Nixon yesterday threw down a challenge to Congress by refusing to permit White House Counsel John Dean III to testify at a hearing on the nomination of L.

Burns union advocate By REBECCA WARNER In what fellow guards call "harassment of the highest or- der," a campus Burns Security guard has been fired for viola- tion of haircut regulations less than a month after he was ap- pointed temporary union repre- sentative for University guards to the United Plant Guard Work- ers of America (UPGWA) Local 114. Fred Wolgel, a University stu- dent and one of Burns' most tenured guards on campus at 11 months of employment, was in- formed his job had been termi- nated Monday by newly appoint- ed Burns branch manager Robert Close. Wolgel received a verbal warn- ing about his hair only a few days after union officials chose him to head local efforts to or- ganize guards. City Burns em- ployes had been without union representation since last sum- mer although all the guards are union members. "I was never harassed about my hair until I became union representative," W o I g e 1 said Monday. "I'm convinced there can be only one reason for it. It's too much of a coincidence." Wolgel claims Close and Burns' Detroit office are trying to throw the spotlight off more essential issues which he and other guards have raised recently. "'The most important thing to me is that we filed 13 grievances and some of themhare very sub- stantive issues," he said. "The real issue is the labor practices of Burns." Close denied yesterday that Wolgel's firing w a s politically motivated. "He made no attempt to comply with our regulation,' he said. "There is no correlation between him being a union mem- ber or not a union member.' included salary issues, problems of job safety, work rules, and harassment of rebellious guards by management personnel tak- ing the form of relocation to less desirable job assignments. Wolgel's group says their most pressing grievance at the mo- ment is sex discrimination in hiring and job assignment. "As of today Burns is in vio- lation of the contract, because they have not replied in writing to our grievances," he said yes- terday. Close claimed he doesn't have bargaining power and had referred the guards' grievances to the Detroit office. Burns state manager Raymond Pastula was unavailable for comment yester- day. Close said Wolgel can reapply for his job if he cuts his hair, but fired that if he is rehired it will be up to the Detroit office to decide whether he gets his 'seniority and regular full-time pay back or has to start as a new employe again. Wolgel claims Close, who hires and fires city guards, "changed the story on me." Two weeks after he was warned verbally about his hair, he received a company statement which said he would be eligible for either job assignment, disciplinary lay- off or termination if he did not comply with haircut regulations. Wolgel claims he thought he had already come into compli- ance by combing his hair differ- ently. Two days later, he came to work and Burns Captain Har- old Spear took away his Burns See BURNS, Page 8 tionship. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously Tuesday to in- vite Dean to testify on Gray's nomination. Gray has been under attack from Democrats over the FBI's handling of the June 17 Watergate bugging incident-in which seven men are awaiting sentencing on charges of bugging the Democratic Party's headquarters - and what they feel is his political partisan- ship and closeness to the President. Dean told the committee in a letter he would be prepared to give written .answers to questions submitted to him, but would not appear at a hearing, where he could be cross-examined. The committee was to have met later in the day to continue its hearing into Gray's nomination, but, postponed the session after receiv- ing Dean's letter. Presidential P r e s s Secretary Ronald Ziegler said the President still backed Gray and had no in- on courses. offered Students will be able to get up-to- the-minute information on course closings, according to the counsel- ing department, through the new POINT system.
