But City Council delayed con- sideration this week of another prospective pornography law because of the court's decision. Mayor Louis Belcher said he now questions the con- stitionality of the proposal. THE PRESENT ordinance requires 1500 feet between any adult entertain- ment business and any park, school, church, child-care center, residential district or existing sex shop. The proposed ordinance asks that all sexually explicit material be displayed at least four feet above the ground to prevent minors (under 16 years) from exposure to it. City Attorney Bruce Laidlow said the zoning element of the present law is immune to the Court ruling because, T scores Pora listens to criacrges Ar ' nO'" Auto magnate Henry Ford II tries to hear a question from a reporter yesterday during a rare news conference which he called to answer allegations by a stock- holder accusing him of wasting company money on personal luxuries and accept- ing a $750,000 kickback.

U wary o high LSi " Poie hunt eseaped rapist, By TOM O'CONNELL The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department is continuing an intensive manhunt for Anthony Wooten, a convic- ted rapist who escaped Sunday morning from the Washtenaw County Jail. He is considered dangerous. "We do not know for sure if he is still in the area," said Sgt. Patrick Little, but added that both plainclothes detec- tives as well as uniformed personnel were pressing the hunt for Wooten. WOOTEN WAS convicted in Decem- ber of raping a 20-year-old Ann Arbor woman, who was severely beaten in the attack. He was also prosecuted as an habitual criminal, and sentenced last Friday to a 60-90 year prison term without possibility of parole. Wooten escaped around 11:15 a.m. during an exercise period at the new jail facility on Hogback Road near Washtenaw. The convict made his way over a 15-foot wall, possibly aided by See POLICE, Page 14 By ELIZABETH SLOWIK with wire reports University Law School admissions officials say they are doing all they can to deal with unusually high Law School Admission Test (LAST) scores from applicants who took the exam last October or December. The flurry of high scores came despite the fact that the test was recently redesigned to make it more difficult. Of the 64,000 people who took the multiple choice test in those months, 142 received perfect scores. A year earlier, there were 15 perfect scores. "YOU HAVE TO be aware that a person who took the test in July may not have scored as high even if he or she was as good a the person from October," said University Law School ad- today missions officer Roger Martindale. Martindale said that in considering an individual with two scores, with his highest score from October or December, the higher score woule be taken "with a grain of salt. We would be careful in evaluating multiple scores." Martindale also said that half the spaces in the class are filled on non-statistical data such as the applicant's background and experience. MARTINDALE SAID, however, that not all universities use this admission policy. Test writers made "a conscious decision . . . to make the test somewhat more difficult than predecessor forms, but they did not intend or expect this result," said Thomas White, direc-- tor of the law program for Educational Testing Service (ETS) See 'U', Page 17 F-I We're back ...

Executive privilege It's no secret that the resident of the big white house on South University spends some time lob- bying and such in Washington. It came as somewhat of a surprise, then, to hear University President Robben Fleming tell graduating students last week that commencement speaker Walter Mondale became Vice President in the fall of 1976 Come on now, President Fleming, lame ducks or not, can't we give Jerry and Rocky some credit for the end of their term? We forgive your error, though. Even presidents make mistakes, right? Dope testing Smokers worried aboutparaquat-tainte4,grass can now send samples to a Flint lab for testing. For a f' Fee . Bio-Medical Laboratories will analyze samples for possible contamination. The lab, ac- cording to Roger, Winthrop of the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws (NORML) said the lab is fully licensed to accept in-state sam- ples. Winthrop said of one-half to one gram (no seeds or stems) should be moistened with water, sealed in a plastic bah, and sent to Michigan Bio- Medical Labs, 2776 Flushing Rd., Flint, MI 48504. Include a random seven-digit number for iden- tification, plus a $5 money order (no personal checks, to insure confidentiality). Wait one week, then call the lab at 232-4153 and identify yourself by the seven-digit number to find out if your sample contained traces of the posionious herbicide. The lab is open 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. weekdays, 8-5 Satur- days. Where's Perry? Two members of the state House of Represen- tatives received perfect scores on 1977 ratings by the Michigan chapter of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), but our own Rep. Perry Bullard wasn't among them. Bullard gor a perfect score last year, but evidently he's slip- ped a little bit since then. One of Bullard's administrative assistants said he hadn't seen this year's results, but estimated that his boss' rating was probably somewhere between 95 and 100. The two lawmakers who got top marks were H. Lynn Jondahl (D-E. Lansing) and Jeffrey Padden (D-Wyandotte). Happenings ... . are hard to find on this first day of classes.
