forceable clauses. According to CBH
members, the winning lease includes 13
such questionable clauses and is used
by McKinley - the city's largest rental
firm - for 600 apartments in Ann Ar-
bor.
THE WINNING tenant insisted that
he not be identified, saying he'll have
enough .trouble subletting his apar-
tment this summer without publicity.
The tenant will be treated to free legal
advice from a housing attorney over
lunch at Dominick's restaurant.
As for CBH's "Best Lease Contest" -
which only landlords were invited to en-a
ter - there is no winner because there
were no entries.
CBH members emphasized that
McKinley has done nothing unlawful by
including deceptive, unenforceable
clauses in its leases. CBH is sponsoring
the "Truth in Renting" proposal which
will appear on Monday's city election
ballot. The proposal would ban such
questionable leases.
"We can't say they (McKinley) have
the worst lease in Ann Arbor," said
CBH spokesperson Tim Kunin. "But it
did take two attorneys two hours to go
over the winning lease (for
questionable clauses)."

"The whole catch is, assuming the
students get the products free and use
it, hopefully they will go out and buy
it," Canu said.

AND 13-30 MAKES known to its clien-
ts that it doesn't take the sampler
business lightly. The corporation con-
ducts follow-through audits and has
shipment verifications to assure itself
that each dorm resident receives a kit.
The corporation even publishes bar
graphs to show companies that, "Con-
clusively," students are "extremely
responsive to the sampling effort."
The University agreed last year to
allow 13-30 to bring its wares to the
campus. The University Housing Coun-
cil will take charge of dorm distribution
efforts.
Canu said-there will be a different kit
given to males and females but
"nothing controversial" will be con-
tained in them. "No cigarettes, no
liquor, no contraceptives in our kits,"
he declared.

THE 1977 HASH BASH wasn't all fun as the despairing expression on this little girl's face suggests while a police officer
drags her mother away.
High times expected at Bash

"The thrill of being defiant by skip-
ping school and of being on TV and in
the papers attracts high schoolers more
than smoking dope on the college cam-
pus does," says White.
At Ann Arbor Huron High, principal
Paul Meyers says, "We haven't heard a
thing. There was more talk last year.
Skipping classes - that's the thing to
do. Saturday will make for a smaller

CITY AND suburban high schools
around the Detroit area report no talk
or advertising of the Bash. They also
claim that the number of high school
dope users has diminished significantly
in the last year, cutting into Bash clien-
tele. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people
attended last year's Bash.
University students seem to have
mixed feelings about attending this
year's Bash. "I'm not going," says ar-
chitecture freshman Bob Perry. "It's
not a big thing. It's a chance for friends
to smoke hash in the Diag. Being at
Bursley, it won't bother me."
An opposite view was expressed by
sophomore Marcus. Veal, a pharmacy
major. "Last year, the police moved in
on the people. I didn't want to be
arrested, or seen on TV by my parents.
Other than that, I'd go smoke down with
my friends."
LSA SOPHOMORE Kathy Erwin
comments "hlike it because it's a neat
tradition which shows off Ann Arbor as
the liberator of harsh drug laws."
The Hash Bash was originally con-
ceived as a political event designed to
dramatize students' contempt for tough
laws against smoking marijuana.
In 1972, the First Annual Hash Bash
celebrated Michigan's new marijuana
law. The law lowered the penalty for
possession of dope to a maximum 90-
day jail sentence plus a $1,000 fine.
"We'll bust anyone with funny-looking
or funny smelling cigarettes," the
police said then.
Last year, police threatened possible
one-year imprisonments and a $500
fine, but only enforced the $5
misdemeanor ordinance.
