Group thwarted in attempt to

is "no legal bar to anyone who's
been indicted or even convicted
from registering," he felt the poll
conducted by sheriff's deputies was
sufficient action in the matter.
"I trust the sheriff co-operated
with me," Saunders said. "I don't
know how much farther I can go
besides intervening in behalf of the
people who petitioned me, and go-
ing directly to Sheriff Harvey.'
Saunders had been unwilling to
register prisoners until NUJ mem-
ber Barbara Cartwright spoke with
City Manager Guy Larcom yester-
day morning.
Meanwhile, in Ypsilanti town-
ship, the City Clerk's office refused
to register residents of Ypsilanti
who are inmates at the county jail.
Deputy Clerk Jane Tait said she
did not believe she could register
prisoners without receiving written
notice of the change in policy from
someone in authority.
Legal basis for prisoner registra-
tion came as a result of a decision
Thursday by Wayne County Circuit
Judge George Bowles, that Wayne

collegiate athletics. The remaining
12 per cent is devoted to athletics
on the intramural level.
Critics of the athletic depart-
ment charge thaththese fiscal
prioritiesare way out of line. They
point to the deterioration of intra-
mural facilities like Waterman
Gym while money is spent for
projects like putting Tartan Turf
on the football team's practice
field.
They further claim that the 12
per cent earmarked for intra-
murals is a misleading figure.
Stempien hits
Esch positions
State Rep. Marvin Stempien (D-
Livonia) yesterday blasted Rep.
Marvin Esch's (R-Ann Arbor)
views on environmental controls
and cuts in the defense budget, in
a rare campus visit.
Stempien and Esch are both run-
ning for the Second Congressional
District seat in the U. S. House.
Speaking before a political sci-
ence class, Stempien claimed
Esch had said recently that gov-
ernment should have to prove
pollution exists.
According to a report made last
year by an ad hoc committee of
students and professors, the 12
per cent figure includes money
received from fees chprged at Uni-
versity facilities like the golf
course and the skating rink, plus
money taken from the tuition-
supported general fund.
If these are subtracted, the re-
port states, the athletic depart-
ment's actual contribution to the
intramural program amounts to
only one per cent of its total bud-
get.
Canham's claim that the ath-
letic department is self-sufficient
has also been questioned. They
point out that some $500,000 from
the general fund is allotted to the
department each year.
In reply, Canham pointed to the
special expenditures the athletic
department must make out of its
own pocket.
"If the law school needs its
grass cut," Canham comments,
"the University picks up the tab.
We have to pay for our own main-
tenance staff as well as a large
security force," he added.
Thedispute over where money
should be spent has been going
on for quite a while and as one
observer put it, "As long as the
team keeps winning and the fans
keep coming, it's not likely to
change."
County jail inmates must be al-
lowed to register to vote.
Bowles said prisoners should be
registered, and that he would rule
next week on the. legality of their
registration. The probable date of
a decision on the constitutionality
of the statute is unknown.
Detroit City Clerk George Ed-
wards said he was eager to regis-
ter the inmates and would do it
himself if necessary to meet yes-
terday's deadline.
To Whiskey,
the ball is all
(Continued from Page 1)
"So we constructed a coat,
painted the ball, and let it go, not
having any idea what Whiskey's
reaction would be. She could have
gotten stage fright and just sat
there. As it turned out, she took
off after it, and I guess some
would say a tradition was born."
A tradition was born, and so it
will continue. Brandy, Whiskey's
two-year-old pup, is, in Rodger's
words, "incorrigible." Though on-
ly Whiskey has been performing
thus far, "Brandy is showing en-
couraging progress."
Many people would like to hear
a complicated explanation of the
dog's performance, but there real-
ly isn't one - "it's just exploiting
a hang-up; there must be a gene
for ball-pushing in fox terriers, be-
cause a number of people I've
talked to after games said they
also have fox terriers who do the
same thing," says Rodgers.
Others there may be, but as far
as most Michigan fans are con-
cerned, there's only one Whiskey.

penses, wage losses, and survivors
losses.
Other coverage, such as property
protection insurance and residual
liability insurance will be optional,
according to Russell Van Hooser,
state insurance commissioner.
The bill will signal the end to
Michigan's uninsured motorists
,fee, which enables drivers to pay
a small sum to the. state rather
than buy insurance.
In a short news conference after
the bill was passed, Milliken said
that he was, "extremely pleased,"
and called the bill, "a major
breakthrough" in auto insurance
in Michigan.
When asked if there were any
parts of the bill he would have
preferred deleted, the Governor
replied, "No, I don't think so.
We'll have to experience the bill
in operation. It's possible that in
one or two years we may want to
change some parts, but it's okay
for now."
Van Hooser praised the exten-
sive coverage of the bill, asserting
average would be.
"The main thing," he said, "is
that there will be prompt settle-
ment of claims."
An aide to Van Hooser suggested
that a young man with a family
and an ordinary car, now paying
approximately $130 for personal
protection collision insurance,
would pay about $10 less under the
new bill.
Pointing out that the law requires
only personal protection insurance,
Van Hooser said that if a person
also bought the optional property
protection insurance the premiums
might increase under the new bill.
Under provisions of the bill a
person is still liable to be sued in
Van Hooser had some reserva-'
tions about the clarity of the
phrases, "serious impairment,"
necessary changes can be made
when the Legislature returns from
their recess on Nov. 27th.
