STATE LEGISLATURE:'
Vote on abortion
reform bill pressed
-Associated Press
Taking a cut for peace
To enhance their image in the community, several San Jose College students line up yesterday at the
Communications Cut-In for peace to have their long locks trimmed. The students had wanted to cut
their hair before speaking outside the San Jose campus on the Indochinese war. Leaders say they
hope to'show that the issue of peace is too important for the length of hair to prevent communica-
tion.
NO CONFRONTA TION:
LANSING (' - With pressure
building on both sides, backers of
abortion reform legislation in the
state Senate say they hope the
final critical vote on their bill will
be taken before the end of the
week.
Sponsors of the once-defeated
bill, still trying to round up the
needed 20 votes for passage, post-
poned a slated reconsideration
vote for the second time yester-
day with no opposition.
But the backers expressed fears
that some of the 17 senators who
voted for the bill last week might
withdraw their support if another
weekend passed before the sec-
ond-chance vote.
Groups pushing for abortion
law reform, as well as the organ-
izations vehemently opposed to
the bill, have stepped up lobby-
ing efforts since the Senate re-
jected the proposal by three votes
last week. Seventeen h a d voted
for the bill, 19 against.
The measure, sponsored by Sen.
Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor),
would allow any woman resident
of Michigan to obtain an abor-
tion during the first 90 days of
pregnancy.
As the Senate postponed action
yesterday, the state Public Health
Department issued a "position pa-
per" saying that the present law
- allowing abortions only when
the life of the mother is endan-
gered - "should be changed and
t h a t legal abortions should be
made available to Michigan wo-
men."
Dr. Maurice Beizen, the depart-
ment's newly appointed director,
had already announced his sup-
port for the pending Senate bill.
T h e department's statement
said that "A woman with too
indignities, who becomes pregnant
again, understandably may want
to abort that pregnancy.
"A 15-year-old girl who, out of
ignorance or fear or even careless-
ness, becomes pregnant, under-
standably may want to abort that
pregnancy. A rape victim, a
woman who has rubella, a woman
in poor health may want to abort
a pregnancy," t h e statement
added.
"To refuse such women that op-
tion is to condemn those children
to an unwanted life, a life with-
out love, a life without dignity,"
it continued. "To compare such
women to wanton killers - to call
them murderers - is, we believe,
not only unjust but immoral."
In other action Wednesday, the
Senate passed and sent to the
House of Representatives a bill
authorizing Atty. Gen. Frank Kel-
ley to institute civil proceedings
against corporations and busi-
nesses engaged in such criminal
activities as organized gambling
and organized prostitution.
Also given final approval was a
House-passed measure requiring
motorcyclists and their passengers
to wear helmets. Michigan already
has a helmet-wearing law, but a
technical error made last year
would cause that law to expire if
the new bill were not enacted.
Regents to
consider rent
(Continued from Page 1)
cover the costs of the University's
payment to the school board. The
proposal also calls for an addi-
tional renthike of $5 per month to
cover increased operating ex-
penses.
Since the announcement of the
school board payment, the admin-
istration has met opposition from
the Residence Hall Rate Commit-
tee, from the Student Advisory
Committee on Housing (SACH),
and from University Housing Di-
rector John Feldkamp.
In a memo to Acting Vice-Pres-
ident of Student Affairs Barbara
Newell, Feldkamp said the Univer-
sity should not impose the school
payment entirely on the married
tenants.
With the, proposed rent hike,
Feldkamp - said, "the University
will no longer provide the lowest:
rent family housing in Ann Ar-
bor."
Furthermore, he continued, "a
$22.75 per month rent increase
($17.95 plus $5.00) will have an
inflationary e f f e c t throughout
(Ann Arbor's) private housing
market, both single and family."
SACH met yesterday for their
final discussion of the controver-
sial proposal.
At the meeting, Feldkamp said
the Executive Officers are con-
sidering providing to needy ten-
ants in married housing a grant
of the exact amount to be assessed
for the school payment.

A union official stressed last

"It hasn't been settled, its been

"No matter how much the union

However, after arraignments
were over, Judge Arkinson changed;
his mind and said the personal
bonds would be granted only if
the defendants could meet "the re-
quirements of the court." He did
not specify what these require-
ments were.
Before Arkinson left, he said,
'My only job is to keep peace in
the community. I have nothing
against the protesters as long as
they stay calm and quiet."
Referring to the high bail, Ark-
inson said, "I want to make sure
those kids show up for trial. The
court must be protected and some
of these kids don't even live in

"Have you found out where any
one of the kids live," asked de-
fense attorney Rose.
"Well, no," Arkinson replied.
The protests at EMU have been
characterized by considerable rock-,
throwing, particularly at police
cars. In addition, windows have
been smashed, leaving a large
amount of broken glass in the
' streets around the campus.
