By TIMOTHY YAGLE Ann Arbor Mayor Louis Belcher and Police Chief Walter Krasny, among others, have been named in a law suit alleging that the fatal shooting of a Detroit man by an undercover Ann Ar- bor policeman last February during a drug raid in Ypsilanti was unwarran- ted. The $3.4 million suit filed last Thur- sday in U.S. District Court in Detroit, accuses officer John Francis, 33, of racial bias in killing 28-year-old Lesiah Pugh during the Feb. 28 raid on an Yp- silanti home which police thought was a selling center for an unknown amount of cocaine and heroin. YPSILANTI AND Ann Arbor under- cover police plus a narcotics team from Washtenaw and Livingston Counties, burst into the home just after midnight. Pugh jumped out of a second story win- dow and landed near Francis, who was covering the rear of the house. Francis ordered Pugh to halt and Pugh turned toward him. Francis said he believed Pugh was armed, and shot him once, killing him. The suit, filed by Roy Willis, a lawyer for Vivian Sephis, Pugh's mother, ac- cuses Francis of using "excessive and unprovoked force" on Pugh. Willis said Francis violated state and police regualtions regarding use of deadly force, and that Francis 'Was motivated by "racial prejudice." The suit also asks that Fpancis be barred from em- ployment on a job using a deadly weapon. Named in the suit besides Krasny and Belcher are the Ypsilanti Police Depar- Buyers browse for books and By MARION HALBERG Since University students all are driven to book stores at once by the need to prepare for a new term, long lines, out-of-stock editions, and foul-ups. are typical at this time of year. This term, however, the lines didn't seem quite aselong to those ambitious book-buyers at the University Cellar in the Union Ballroom and Ulrich's yesterday. JOSEPHINE FILECCIA, who checks bags at Ulrich's, has worked book rushes for the past six years. "It's not as crowded as it should be," she obser- ved of a busy, but not packed, Ulrich's yesterday. "I think it's going to be crowded tomorrow - students don't know schedules yet." Liz Kaufman, a Residential College senior from Detroit, has been through seven book rushes, on the buying side. She was standing at the end of the University Cellar line which wound through the Union Ballroom and left her somewhere in the Sociology stacks. "I just got here," said Kaufman, a bundle of books in her arms. "It seems to be moving pretty quickly. It's not the most pleasant thing, but it's worth waiting. It's cheaper than Ulrich's, the bargains service is better - and I've been able to find a lot more used books - that's very important." Five minutes later, Kaufman emerged from the cashier's stand, smiling and pleased with the quick ser- vice. "I GOTTA DO it sometime," said Curt Seitz, an LSA freshman from Grand Rapids waiting in line in the ballroom. "The line's moving quickly - I don't mind." LSA sophomore John Leney from Pit- tsburgh said he went to the ballroom yesterday to "get it over with. Ulrich's and Follet's never have the books, and I like looking for the books myself. There's probably no more hassle here than anywhere else.' People streamed in and out of the Ballroom all day long. The lines fluc- tuated from very, very long to almost no one, but there seemed to be few complaints. The same was true for Ulrich's where service was quick. Perhaps the not-quite-so-hectic book rush has something to do with classes starting on Thursday this -year instead of Friday. Or maybe it was the effect of inflation on the University students' pocketbook. tment and Police Chief Jimmy Moore, Ypsilanti Mayor George Goodman, Washtenaw County Sheriff Thomas Minick, and Livingston County. Krasny said yesterday that neither he nor Belcher were aware of the law suit, but that he knew of the incident. Willis is seeking a jury trial. Ypsi stores caught selling beer to minors By TIMOTHY YAGLE Twelve Ypsilanti area party store clerks face charges of "selling and furnishing liquor to minors" after they were caught selling beer to two 17-year-olds who were working for the police. In a recent experiment, conducted by Ypsilanti Police and the Washtenaw County Sheriff Depar- tment, two unnamed 17-year-old high school students were sent to 21 party stores during a span of several days to buy a six-pack of beer at each store. Of the 21 stores visited, the pair was sold beer illegally in 12. WASHTENAW COUNTY Sheriff Thomas Minick said while there are no plans to try the scheme in Ann Arbor, he and Lt. Patrick Little are not ruling out that possibility. "It could be appropriate in Ann Arbor," Little said. But Minick ad- ded that the city is "well-policed" and that the Ann Arbor Police would have to initiate such a project. Little said that even though Ann Arbor party stores are well-policed, he said he did not know whether that meant they were complying with the law. THE YPSILANTI cases have been turned over to the state Liquor Con- trol Commission (LCC), who could levy heavy fines on the store owners or even revoke their licenses. Maximum penalty for the misdemeanor is 90 days in jail and $100 fine. "What this shows is that it's sur- prisingly easy for kids to buy booze," said Little, who along with Minick spent a month preparing the experiment. 0 01 Use Daily Class ifle ds I.

(Continued from Page 3) In order to vote in the February primary, voters must register by Jan. 21. Even though a Republican has not held a seat in the Second Ward in the past decade, Toni Burton is optimistic. about her chances. She saidshe will stress the student concerns ot housing and rent. FOR THE first time since the present voting districts were established in 1970, a Republican primary will be held in the traditionally Republican Fifth Ward. William Gudenau, one of the four contenders for the position, was the city Republican party chairman between 1975 and 1978. He said he has con- siderable support in the business com- munity. Joyce Chesbrough said that name recognition will be more important than issues in the Fifth Ward Republican primary. The long-time city resident and teacher at Slauson Junior High said she plans to conduct her campaign largely on a door-to-door basis. The other two Republican conten- ders, Lou Henry Velker and Augustine LaLonde, could not be reached for comment yesterday.

In the First Ward, which includes West and South Quads, some student rental housing, and some residential' areas to the north of campus, incum- bent Susan Greenberg will be facing University junior Donald Hubbard in April. Both candidates in the peren- -nially Democratic ward said their campaigns are still in the organizational stages. Y Hubbard, who described himself as a "moderate," has had experience working on' political campaigns. Hub- bard and his committee are conducting a survey to determine issues of prime concern to the voters in his ward. GREENBERG SAID the delivery o city services and property tax reduc- tions will be the major issues in her campaign for re-election. Republican Clifford Sheldon will be campaigning without opposition to retain his seat in the Third War&~ "There's a real concern with property taxes and... the proposed interchange at I-94 and Platt Roads," Sheldon said.' He added that he plans to do some door-' to-door campaigning in the ward which covers a large section of the eastern. part of the city. Fourth Ward residents are concerned about the property tax issue, the lack of a South Area land use plan, and a solid waste shredder, according , t Democratic challenger Barbara- Perkins. Perkins just completed an ap, pointment on the city airport com- mission, but has never run for elected_ office before. She said she has con- siderable support in the southeast sec- tion of the ward and in the area around- Burns Park.
