SGC seeks end to victim less
crime through new committee


By TERRY MARTIN
In an effort to initiate a con-
structive fight against legal pun-
ishment for victimless crimes,
particularly those connected with
marijuana, Student Government
Council (SGC) created a special
committee last week.
The Committee for the Abolu-
tion of Laws on Victimless Crim-
es will be concerned with "the
advancement of sexual freedom;"
"self-determination over o n e ' s
body," (abortion); "undercut-
ting" organized control of gamb-
ling, both by the State and by
syndicated crime; and "the re-
legalization and/or repeal of all
laws and penalties relating to an
individual's usage and purchasing
of drugs."
The last point includes provis-
ion for the development of str'vz_-
tural and operational plans for
the Student Dope Co-opera tivo,
which will open upon repeal of
current drug laws.
The committee will be allocat-
ed $1,000, of which $200 will be
given immediately and $800 af-

ter the committee indicates how
it plans to use the bulk of the
money.
According to Michael Lewis,
SGC vice president for com-
munity affairs, the purpose of the
committee is to see that "things
now kept in closets are brought
out into the open."
t'There are actions right now
that mnake people lawbreakers
when the law shouldn't even he
there in the first place," says
Lewis.
"The whole point of the com-
-ittee is to get some of these
off the books.
"Ideally," he continued, "we'd
like to have a mass abortion-)n
in the Diag, with500abeds and
500 doctors performing 500 abor-
tions. That would prove how lud-
icrous it is that laws against
abortion exist at the same t?:e
that the University is sending
people to New York for abor-
tions."
Lewis was apparently refer-
ring to a revolving fund used by
the University for loans to stt-

dents in need of an abortion.
One of the proposal's sponsors,
Ken Newberry (Group/Integrity)
approves of a general effort
against victimless crimes, inclod
ing the obtaining of "freedom"
for people of all sexual prefer-
ences.
(The Rainbow People's Party
established a MichiganeM a r i-
juana Initiative last year with
the aim of collecting enough sig-
natures to put a "legalized mari-
juana" referendum on the No.
vember ballot. They failed to col-
lect the minimum number of sig-
natures necessary.)
Lewis, his mind still running to
extrayaganzas, thinks that the
Second Annual Ann Arbor Hash
Festival, to be held in the Diag
April 1, is a good opportunuty for
the student body to show s o m e
support for the movement.
The proposal was sponsored by
a diverse group of SGC members-
at-large and President Bill Ja-
cobs. The members of the com
mittee, according to Jacobs, have
not yet been appointed.
