Antioch on strike
Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio,
has mailed expulsion notices to 30 stud-
ents after a confrontation in which two
deans were blocked from entering student-
occupied buildings and were pelted with
eggs. The building takeover is part of a
month-long student strike over the uncer-
tain status of financial aid at the college.
The striking students want a written con-
tract with the administration to guarantee
financial aid until they graduate. School
officials said they cane only assure aid for
the next two years because of impending
federal and college budget cutbacks.
RPP loses
The Friends of the Rainbow People's
Party (RPP) have lost an initial legal
battle with the University over RPP's
right to rent Hill Auditorium. A suit filed
by-the Friends was overturned by Circuit
Court Judge Edward Deake on the
grounds that he lacked jurisdiction and
that the suit lacked specificity in its
claims. The suit arose over the refusal of
University President Robben Fleming to
rent Hill to RPP for an election boogie
on -April 1, 1972. RPP attorney Donald
Koster indicated he will apply for a re-
hearing, and if that fails, he will appeal.

THE INCREASED population density is
these student houses, as well as inexpeii-
ence with food preparation, however, has
created dangerous health conditions, ac-
cording to Hawkins.
He would like to see the city accept
responsibility for inspecting these small-
group facilities.
City sanitarians cannot act, though, un-
less City Council revises its housing code.
Under the current code, fraternities, so-
rorities and co-ops are inspected only for
structural safety and possible fire hazards.
"We can't cram a new code down the
Council's throat," remarked Hawkins.
"It's not worth having it on the books if
it's not enforced.
THE CITY IS already letting go five of
its housing inspectors so that it can in-
crease salaries for the police and fire de-
partments," he said.
Feldkamp said he urged the city three
years ago to adopt a code that would pro-
vide for kitchen inspections in small group
units. However, the city cl-timed these
units, because of their fraternal nature,
are like private homes, and should not
be subject to inspection.
ALONG WITH city legislation, Hawkins
sees the need for the University to ac-
cept an advisory role, by teaching house
stewards and even professional cooks
safety procedures for handling and stor-
ing food.
Student housing, he explained, should
be inspected "from a rehabilitative point
of view," rather than closed down."
SPECIAL INTEREST in inspection reg-
ulations has been expressed by City
Councilman William Colburn, prompting
a second look at the University's original
guidelines.
The food service code has already been
introduced to the Council in a working
session, but it does not appear further
action will take place ur.lil Hawkins
meets with Colburn in June.
DETROIT (UPI) - A Wayne County
Citizens grand jury indicted 28 persons
yesterday, including 12 policemen from
a single precinct, on charges of selling
and possessing heroin and cocaine.
In addition, 23 persons, including an
unspecified number of policemen, were
indicted as co-conspirators.
WAYNE COUNTY Prosecutor William
Cahalan and Detroit Police Commissioner
John Nichols told a news conference that
all those indicted were being arrested on
warrants issued yesterday.
They said the indicted persons were to,
be arraigned today before Judge John
Murphy, presiding judge of Detroit Re-
corder's Criminal Court.
The 28 persons were indicted on seven.
separate crimes, and one of the officers
was charged with committing all seven.
All but two of the 12 officers were
charged with at least six offenses, Ni-
chols said.
THE CHARGES included conspiracy to
deliver cocaine and heroin, possession of
cocaine and heroin and obstruction of jus-
tice.
The 17-member grand jury, a secret in-
vestigative body, has been investigating
Detroit's multi-million dollar narcotics
traffic for several months. The indict-
ments have been expected for some time.
"This has been the most intensive and
cooperative investigation in the history of
this community," Cahalan said.
THE POLICE investigation of drug
traffic was headed by Lt. George Bennett
in cooperation with several other law en-
forcement agencies, including the Attor-
ney General's task force on crime, the
Wayne County task forceand the Wayne
County Sheriff's Department.
