" Jerry's IOU With his salary and budget, you wouldn't think President Ford gets behind in payi-g his bills, but Ann Arbor officials have learned otherwise. The White House still owes the city a good $8,681 for services rendered during the President's cam- paign kickoff here last September. The bill, sent to Ford more than six weeks ago, includes over $8,000 for overtime pay to the 131 off-duty cops who stood around watching for Squeaky Frommes, and $300 for the food they ate. Give him another week, then garnishee his wages if he hasn't paid, we say. ", Sour grapes The Village Council of Paw Paw, Mich., host for nine years of an annual four-day wine festi-' val, say the affair has degenerated into an orgi- astic revel that corrupts the small town's youth. Village officials, who voted Monday to withdraw support from next year's celebration, were aghast last September at the "drunks falling on people's front lawns and open sex in public places." "A moral blot on Paw Paw," is how Police Chief George Fadel characterized the event, during which local vintners hand out free wine to all comers and take them on tours of their wineries. Another official said word spread among Michigan students that Paw Paw, usually dry, was a "wide-open town during those four days and they would come from all over with a buck in their pockets." 0 Happenings .. . .spew forth at noon with an open meedng of the Women's.

I Calif.1oveI By The Associated Press and -Reuter News Service SAN FRANCISCO - California's death penalty sta- tute was declared unconstitutional for the second time within five years yesterday, probably saving 67 prison- ers on death row from the gas chamber. The seven-member -California Supreme Court struck down the death penalty for the first time in 1972. Yesterday's unani- mous ruling, written by Chief Justice Donald Wright, held that California's new 1974 capital punishment law is invalid since it violates current U.S. Supreme Court guidelines regarding im- position of the death penalty. THE DECISION SAID the state's death penalty law makes death a mandatory punishment for those categories of first- degree murder encompassed by the special circumstances ... without provision or consideration of evidence of mitigating cir- cumstances ..." rturns death penalty When the first law was struck down a number of cele- brated murderers escaped execution, including Sharon Tate mur- derer Charles Manson and five of his followers. They are now serving life sentences, Eleven months later California voters passed a referendum by a two-to-one margin to restore the death penalty. THE STATE LEGISLATURE,' following what it thought was the line then being taken by the U.S. Supreme Court, passed a new law making the death penalty mandatory for 11 crimes including mass murder, killing an on-duty policeman, burglary, rape or kidnaping. Under the law, a jury or judge would first determine guilt or innocence and then, if guilty, determine if the death penalty fit the case. Yesterday's decision involved the case of Steven Rockwell, 25, of Sepulveda, who was convicted in Ventura County Superior Court of the murder, kidnaping and rape of Linda Beth Coverly on May 11, 1976. Following his conviction, the jury failed to reach in the penalty phase of the trial. Rockwell then asked Supreme Court to bar a retrial on the second phase the aggravating circumstances were brought out. a verdict the state in which HE CONTENDED RETRIAL was improper because the law providing the death penalty upon a finding of aggravating cir- cumstances is unconstitutional. The state had alleged the victim was killed to prevent testi- mony as a witness, that the slaying was committed during a kidnaping and during a rape. California law imposed the man- datory death penalty for persons convicted of murder under such circumstances. The tribunal agreed to review the petition and barred the second phase retrial. THE COURT POINTED OUT that a sentence of life impri- sonment was proper in such a case since the death penalty could not be imposed. The court noted that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in a Georgia case providing for the death penalty may neither make that penalty mandatory nor give that jury or judge absolute dis- cretion in the choice of life or death. However, the state court said the rulings directed that standards be required so that the sentencing authority wouldl "focus the particularized circumstanc- es of the crime and the defendant." One of the California Judges, Justice William Clark, criticised the U.S. court for failing to make its opinions clear in its death See CALIF., Page 8 re sarCl goes 01 or Carter's cabiet By AP and Reuter A T L A N T A, Ga. - Jim- my Carter's talent hunt con- tinued here yesterday, as the President - elect conferred with several former government of- ficials thought to be leading candidates for cabinet posts.

James Schlesinger, the for- rmer CIA chief whom President Ford fired as secretary of de- fense, was the highest ranking former official meeting with the President - elect.

She is thought to be a candidate for Attorney General.

It also calls for a University Committee on Rights of Privacy and Access to Information (UCRPAI) - consisting of fac- ulty, students and administra- tors - to mediate disputes and handle appeals under the guide- lines. A STUDY COMMITTEE of seven administrators chosen by Vice-President for Academic Affairs Frank Rhodes produced the plan in response to Rhodes' concern that computer storage of personnel information was leading to. "the danger that un- authorized people would get ac- cess to files." He directed the group to strike a balance be- tween #'the right of the indi- vidual to privacy and the need for information." The committee began its work in January, 1975 and issued its report in November. After be- ing circulated for comment, the proposals will return to the ad- ministration for final review. While claiming that the cost accessI would be "prohibitive" in the ,short run, the report calls on the University to phase out the use of social security numbers. as identifiers for student and iemployee records. Provisions of the federal Privacy Act of 1974 seek to limit use of social security numbers for record keeping because of the threat to individual privacy created by a universal data storage sys- files tem based on the S.S. number. MODELED AFTER the fed- eral regulation, the University proposal would prohibit release of students or staff social se- curity numbers except as re- quired by the government. Among the suggested rights for subjects of University rec- ords would be the right to ex- See 'U', Page 3, First swine flu cease " " confirmed i Wise.
