Ann Arbor
News hit
inhearing
By GORDON ATCHESON
A public hearing, sponsored by
the Human- Rights Commission,
last night focused on The Ann
Arbor News' failure to comply
with a city ordinance against
printing discriminatory classified
advertising.
The ordinance prohibits publi-
cation of classified ads which dis-
criminate on *the basis of "sex,
religion, race, color, religion, na-
tional origin, marital status, sex-
ual preference or education asso-
ciation" except when such char-
acteristics are bona fide occupa-
tional requirements.
THE ANN ARBOR NEWS al-
legedly has not satisfactorily
complied w it h the ordinance
since City Council enacted the
measure on Jan. 8 this year. The
newspaper refused to send a
spokesperson to last night's hear-
ing.
"The Ann Arbor News is the
most blatant violator of the ordi-
nance, commissioner Colleen Mc-
Gee said. The newspaperis ap-
parently particularly lax in
screening ads which discriminate
on the basis of sex.
Representatives from The Daily
and Herself addressed the com-
mission during the hearing. Both
representatives indicated t h e y
encountered little trouble with
discriminatory advertisements.
"We tell people they can't run
certain discriminatory words in
the ads. People rarely refuse to
change the objectionable word-
ing," The Daily's classified ad-
vertising osanager Patti Wilkin-
son said.
THE ANN ARBOR NEWS has
objected to the ordinance on the
grounds it violates the constitu-
tional right of a free press.
The commission will present
City Council with a report on the
best method of forcing compli-
ance with the law.
