A former humanities professor
seeking more than, $1 million in
damages from the University is still
trying to prevent his suit from being
dismissed in federal court.
Attorneys for the University moved
for dismissal last September of the suit
initiated by Jonathan Marwil, the for-
mer engineeringhumanities professor
who claims he was unjustly denied a
tenure review last spring. Marwil is
seeking either reinstatement at the
University so that he can receive a
tenure review or more than $1 million in
damages,
UNIVERSITY ATTORNEYS have
argued that the University, because it
is a state institution, is immune to
monetary damage suits in federal court
under the Eleventh Amendment.
In an opinion rendered Dec. 13, U.S.
District Court Judge Philip Pratt said
he did not have enough evidence con-
cerning the University's relation to the
state to rule on the dismissal motion.
On Monday, he directed attorneys for
both sides to prepare briefs on this issue
in the next two weeks for a pre-trial
hearing.
The Eleventh Amendment bars a
federal court from hearing an action by
a citizen against a state. University at-
torneys .maintain that the University is
a branch of the state, and therefore
Marwil's suit against the Regents and
three engineering professors is
prohibited by the Constitution.
MARWIL'S ATTORNEY, Jerold Lax,
claimed in an opposition brief filed last
October that the University should not
be equated with the state in this case
d because it has frequently fought for its
autonomy from the legislature in the
r past.

If the case is not dismissed, the trial
could start this summer, according to
Lax and University General Counsel
Roderick Daane. Pratt said the starting
date will depend on how much time both
sides need in the evidence-gathering
stage.
Marwil, who has been off of the
University payroll since June, had been
on the engineering humanities faculty
for six years. Tenure reviews are
routinely granted for faculty members
who have been here that long.
Both the faculty Senate Advisory
Review Committee and the Senate Ad-
visory Committee on University Affairs
have supported Marwil's request for a
tenure review. Marwil exhausted all
channels for appeal within the Univer-
sity before he filed suit.

Three students among
l3 Council candidates
By PATRICIA HAGEN
A total of 13 candidates - including
three University students - are
organizing campaigns for five City
Council seats up for grabs in the April 7
general election.
.Incumbents are running for re-
ction in four of Ann Arbor's five
rds. Primaries will be held Feb. 18 to
determine the Republican candidate in
the Fifth Ward and the Democratic
candidate for the Second Ward. The
deadline for filing petitions was Dec. 31.
IF UNIVERSITY junior Stacy
Stephanopulos defeats incumbent Earl
Greene in the Democratic Second Ward
primary, she will. be campaigning
against the Republican challenger Toni
Burton, also a junior at the University.
In the Second Ward in 1973 Democrat
arol Jones-Dwyer was the last
University undergraduate to win a seat
on the eleven-member council. Studen-
ts comprise about 80 per cent of the
population in the Second Ward, which
includes the Hill area dormitories and
Bursley Hall.
Stephanopulos said yesterday she
will concentrate on getting more
students involved in city politics. Her
primary opponent is Councilman Earl
Greene who is trying for his third term.
Greene, a music teacher in the Willow
Run Schools, will emphasize the issues
of housing, tenant safety, and the
budget when he begins campaigning in
the dormitories this weekend.
BOTH STEPHANOPULOS and
Greene will emphasize voter
registrationwto ensure student turnout
on election day.
