Blue Denims Acsard lDenimc fought Davids also explains the diffi culties of campus police deriving legitimate powers. He makes it clear that deputization of a cam- pus force by the county Sheriff's office "is not acceptable to the University," - although that procedure is the standard method by which University police de- partments throughout the state derive powers of arrest. Davids says that if necessary the University would make an ef- fort to have special legislation passed in Lansing to enable a campus department to operate without the potential for opera- tional interference from outside the «University community. "I hope that if we go through with this we can involve as many students as possible in the opera- tion of the department." Davids says, adding that "several stu- dents" have already inquired about possible jobs on the force. Davids did not anticipate cam- pus police making arrests on marijuana possession charges. "unless the officer falls over it, in which case he would have no choice." The force would, how- ever, be concerned with the problems of harder drugs. Most ironic, perhaps, is the co- incidence of the Governor's bud- get recommendation and the stated position of many radical political groups at the University on the police question. While no radical organzlation has ever proposed the establish- ment of a campus police depai t- ment, there have been repeated demands for an end to University subsidy of the Ann Arbor police.
