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- ed the bill a "step in the direc- run (Continued from Page 1) 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.
