with youthful supporters of the,
new law who cheered and clap-
ped when the new ordinance
was passed. Both the Demo-
cratic and Human Rights Party
council 'members - who allied.
to pass the bill - seemed
pleased with the new law.
Council member Jerry De-
Grieck (HRP-First Ward) call-

of the Regents' decision, these
labs were performing four clas-
sified research projects worth
about $336,000.
Norman says that the volume
has not increased, although it
could under existing guidelines.
In direct opposition to the
posture is Dr. William Brown,
director of Willow Run Labora-
tories.
When questioned about Univer-
sity professors' connections with
Willow Run, Brown replied, "If
our facilities are what somebody
needs, well it doesn't make any
sense not. to use them. Every-
body agrees in principle what
will happen."
Brown added, "There's no law
against professors transfering
their projects."
tion" towards legalization of
marijuana. He also said that
the new law "will hopefully
serve notice that the City Coun-
cil does not want police to bust
people for pot.
Mayor Robert Harris sup-
ported the ordinance as "imagi-
native lawmaking" and said the
bill "goes as far as possible to
trivialize" marijuana prohibi-
tion.'
There was also dissent to the
new ordinance. Council mem-
ber John McCormack (R-Fifth
Ward) said the new ordinance
was a "magnet for the dope
culture" and believed that it
would make Ann . Arbor the
"dope center of the midwest."
On the day that the law
went into effect, unusually
large numbers of young people
were seen walking down the
streets smoking the weed. It
was even rumored that a cou-
ple from New Mexico had come
into the city to get arrested
and pick up the new marijuana
ticket as a souvenir.
However, speculation that a
new "psychedelic marijuana
ticket" would be used was
squelched by Lax.
"There was talk of design-
ing a new ticket with a picture
of a marijuana plant on it," he
said, but marijuana tickets will
be the same as those presently
used for traffic or building code
violations.
The most controversial aspect
of the new law is its lumping of
possession and sale together as
a misdemeanor - in the same
category as a traffic ticket. In
most prior laws, including a
liberalized ordinance passed by
the city last year, the two of-
fenses have been separated with
sales drawing a more severe
penalty.
The city must still decide in
which cases, and for what
amounts of marijuana posses-
sion or sale, the new law will be
used.
According to Lax, the city
law willbe used unless the
quantity of marijuana is "an
enormous amount." In cases in-
volving major shipments of the
drug, he said, the harsher state
law may be used.
Just what constitutes an
"enormous 'amount," however,
is not clear and according to
both Lax and Krasny more
clarifying meetings of law en-
forcement peorle will be held,
One further word of caution
was issued by Krasny.
"The thing to keep in mind,"
he said, "is that we (Ann Ar-
bor Police) are only one agency.
There is still the federal nar-
cotics bureau and the state and
county police. If their investi-
gations carry them into Ann
Arbor they have no jurisdiction
under the city ordinance and
will have to use the state law."
Possession under state law is
punishable by -up to $1,000 in
fines and one year in prison.
