The Michigan Daily-Friday, March 14, 1980-Page 5 BUDGET CUTS MA YALLOWNEWBEATS Police may add campus patrols W By WILLIAM THOMPSON If the Ann Arbor Police Department can cut overtime costs and make other budgetary changes, enough money may be saved to begin conducting regular foot patrols around campus next year. Executive Office Walter Hawkins said the police department will submit a budget request to the city administrator in April that will ask for more patrol officers. But excessive ounts of overtime among officers presently are hindering chances for the foot patrols' initiation. Both Mayor Louis Belcher and Hawkins said more money can be saved if officers' overtime is reduced. "We are paying time and half at a pretty. good clip," he said. "The police unions have told is that their officers are working too much overtime." BUT, SOME CITY officials said they believe reduced overtime will not solve the budget problem. "I am not very optimistic that overtime can be reduced," said assistant City Administrator Patrick Kenney. "Much of the overtime budget for the city is built in." Police Chief Walter Krasny agreed with Kenney. "Certain types of overtime we're never going to be able to get rid of," he said. Krasny, Belcher,' and Hawkins agreed that time spent testifying in court was a cause for overtime work which could not be eliminated. But Belcher said the courts have already started scheduling to minimize police court time and could reduce it still more. But Kenney said he doubted that the patrols would ever be initiated. "I don't know if there will be an increase in police officers," he said. But he added, "The police department feels they could use more (officers) and they are probably right." THE PROPOSED FOOT patrols will cost the police department $40,000 per year to pay and equip each additional officer. In addition to the campus, the State Street and Main Street areas also may be regularly patrolled, Hawkins said. He said the daily hours of the patrols were uncertain, but noted that "they will probably not be late at night." Belcher also said increasing efficiency in the department will save the necessary money. He suggested Anti-registration events come 15 years after Vietnam teach-in By GREGG WOLPER This weekend's anti-draft registration teach-in takes place nearly 15 years *fter the country's first teach-in, which was also held at the University. Faculty members initiated the first teach-in on March 24, 1965, to protest the escalation of the Vietnam War, More than 3,000 students attended the event,, which. began at 8 p.m. and continued until 8 a.m. the next day. THE TEACH-IN began with speakers in the early evening, followed by films and workshops. beginning at midnight. Most of the events took place in Angell Mall, and the teach-in concluded with a' morning rally on the Diag. "Many students said it was the most meaningful educational experience they had at college," recalls Sociology Prof. William Gamson, one of the main faculty leaders of the 1965 teach-in. "There was some pretty intense discussion going on throughout the night." The teach-in led to similar protests at mpuses across the country and to a ational teach-in in Washington, D.C., less than two months later. "Other campuses just needed a little push," said Gamson. "The movement spread like wildfire." Gamson said the present political situation could be influenced by teach- Is like the one being offered this 'weekend.

"I would prefer (that people come) who have free time," he said. Stafford added that he would have been willing to discuss the issues in the evening when there would have been no conflict with classes. One professor not directly involved with the teach-in shares the concern about conflicting with classes. Cconomics Prof. Ann Anderson said at while many professors agree about the value of discussing the issues, "there are mixed feelings as to whether it should take place during class time." he said. "There was a very different atmosphere then," Gamson added. "People today are much quicker to understand than earlier.," ' The University cooperated in the first teach-in, according to Gamson, by making facilities available , and relaxing the curfew restrictions then in effect for women. turning over much clerical work to cheaper non-police personnel. But Hawkins said he did not favor converting to non-police clerical workers. "Efficiency is already increasing and hopefully we will save some bucks," he said. Krasny warned that the foot patrol's costs may cause police efficiency to suffer. "There could be delays in police officers getting to the scenes of things that are not real critical," he said. "People are going to have to wait, but all over town, one of the big questions raised is foot beats." Belcher also noted that a plan which would reduce the number of officers per car on patrol from two to one has also been proposed, but he said he is undecided on that plan. Jury gives Gacy electric chair (Continued from Page 1) Garippo, however, denied .that motion and a motion to declare the state's death penalty wstatute uncon- stitutional. Amirante then chose to let . the jury decide whether Gacy should die for his crimes. His other option was to have Garippo make the deter- mination. "It is our decision at this time that we would rather go with 12 people as op- e posed to one person," Amirante said. GACY, CALLED to the bench by Garippo, said he understood his senten- n cing options. Gacy's date with the electric chair is . certain to be delayed -, perhaps for years. State law requires an automatic appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. And the capital punishment law itself - put into effect less than three years ago - is being challenged in the courts. The current Illinois death penalty law s took effect June 21, 1977. Twelve of ' Gacy's victims are known to have been killed after that date, making him eligible for capital punishment as a multiple murderer. "I'd be willing to pull the switch. Of all the families involved, I'll be the first to volunteer," said Harold Piest, father l of Robert Piest, 15, the last of Gacy's f victims. ICEIANDAR11 EUROPE ON A BIG BIRD IAW FARE ..
