Page 2-Tuesday, March 31,1981-The Michigan Daily SECURITY UNCHANGED FROM LAST YEAR Officials plan for 'bash' By MARK GINDIN On the eve of the annual hash bash, area law enfor- cement officials and local merchants say preparations for this year's "forum of dissent" for drug users will be no different from last year's. According to Major Robert Whitaker of the Ann Arbor Police Department, security at the April 1 event will not be stepped up becausetthe crowd is ex- pected to be no bigger than in the past. "WE WILL ARREST lawbreakers and protect property, the same as last year," Whitaker said. "Our attitude has not changed - it is still an illegal event." The University Department of Safety will also not provide additional security over last year, according to Director Walt Stevens. Merchants in the State Street area are not making any special preparations for the expected crowds. A spokesperson at Borden's Book Shop said in years past the bash has not disrupted normal business operations, but this year the store will be closed tomorrow for inventory. RICHARDSON'S PHARMACY reported that business will be as usual. State Discount Manager Randy Smith said some special arrangements will be made this year because of the bash, but not as many as last year because "it's not what it was." Smith said some cigarettes frequently bought by younger people, will be displayed and extra em- ployees will be in the store. LAST YEAR'S HASH BASH primarily attracted participants from out of town. Ann Arbor Police Chief William Corbett estimated that 90 percent of those at- tending this year's diag event would not be local residents. The annual bash, which was begun primarily to bring about the $5 pot law, has come under fire recen- tly because it attracts so many outsiders. Corbett said the yearly event costs the University Com- munity and the City over $11,000. Stevens urged students who are not interested in the bash to avoid it and let those participating know that they are unwelcome. Stevens said any buildings with doors facing the diag will be monitored. Students may be challenged before entering and may have to produce a student identification. Stevens also said the front entrance of the graduate library will be closed, although the south entrance will be open as usual. SI NGLE?

And the co-director of the Senate Fiscal Agency warned MSU must not only weather its current fiscal crisis but should redefine its "basic role and the scope and variety of its program." MACKEY, DURING a hearing before the Senate committee, maintained the school's board of trustees was not out of line when it declared MSU in a state of crisis earlier this year, although no other university in the state has taken such action. The MSU president has been under fire for planned budget cuts he said may not have to top the $29 million 2 Days of Sales Madness! OVER 40 STORES AprII4 & 5 U of M Track and Tennis Building FREE ADMISSION figure often mentioned, including the elimination or reduction of the nursing program and several other schools. Mackey, who has been MSU's president more than 18 months, could not explain to questioning lawmakers why the nursing program had been targeted for cuts while the university's two medical schools emerged un- scathed. David Murphy, co-director of the Senate Fiscal Agency said yesterday MSU must now re-evaluate its role as a university as the state's ability to con- tribute to its support diminishes. "MSU has about 24 months to find the answers," Murphy said. "MSU is seriously overextended in regard to its longtermsability to finance existing programs."~ Another ound In Atlanta. ATLANTA (AP) - The body of a black boy was found yesterday after- noon in the Chattahoochee River in southwest Fulton County, the 21st black child to be found dead in the Atlanta area in the past 20 months, authorities said. "The only thing we know is we have located a young black male that meets criteria of those found recently," Fulton County Police Sgt. Denny Hen- drix said. Residents of south Fulton County found the body about 3:30 p.m. while boating on the river, Hendrix said. The body was clad only in underwear and was not decomposed, he said. Members of the special police task force that has been investigating the slayings and disappearances of 22 black children since July 1979 were called to the scene shortly after the discovery. Asked to estimate the age of the vic- tim, Hendrix said he was "more than 10 years and less than 20." I N BR IE F Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Senate eliminates minimum Social Security benefit WASHINGTON-Senate Republicans, intent on giving President Reagan the budget cuts he wants, ignored Democratic charges that they lack com- passion yesterday and endorsed elimination of the minimum Social Security benefit. On a vote of 55-39, the Senate rejected a move to restore $800 million in spending to continue a guaranteed monthly benef it of $122. The majority was made up of 51 Republicans and four Democrats. All the opposing votes were cast by Democrats. Academy Awards postponed HOLLYWOOD-Organizers of the 53rd Academy Awards ceremony decided yesterday to postpone the nationlly televised program for 24 hours because of the assassination attempt on President Reagan. ABC officials said the network would broadcast the show live at 10 p.m. EST today. It was the third time the awards had been postponed. The first time was in 1938, when torrential rains prohibited the awards on March 3. They were held a week later. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 also prompted post- ponement of the Oscar presentation from April8 to April 10. Supreme Court upholds Black Panther conviction WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court cleared the way yesterday for California authorities to imprison Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton on his 1978 conviction for gun possession, even though the charge hinged on an earlier case which was overturned. The justices refused to disturb the Oakland decision, in which Newton was sentenced to serve two years for violating a state law barring the possession of guns by convicted felons. State Deputy Attorney General Clifford Thompson in San Francisco said there is a possibility that Newton will be put on two years probation instead of being sent to prison. That will be up to the state trial judge, Joseph Karesh. High court will hear dispute over Soviet cargo boycott WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to settle a con- troversy sparked by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan-whether longshoremen may protest international "bullying" by refusing to handle Soviet cargo. The justices will hear arguments by shippers-rejected by lower cour- ts-that the continuing boycott of Soviet trade by the International Longshoremen's Association violates labor contracts. The union began the boycott in support of former President Jimmy Car- ter's January 1980 announcement of anti-Soviet trade sanctions, including the grain embargo. In a resolution, the union told its members not to handle any cargo bound for or coming from the Soviet Union. State high court limits application of gun law LANSING-The Michigan Supreme Court ruled yesterday the unarmed accomplices of gun-toting criminals can be convicted under the state's tough felony-firearm law only if they helped get or keep the weapon. The unanimous decision is likely to antagonize presecutors who pushed hard for adoption of the crackdown law, which provides a two-year man- datory sentence for persons who possess firearms during commission of a felony. General Motors calls for clean air rules revision DETROIT-General Motors Corporation called yesterday for thorough revisions in auto exhaust emission rules and compliance procedures, in- cluding relaxation of som tailpipe pollution standards it already is able to meet. GM said it wants the government to stop testing individual cars and in- stead measure anti-pollution compliance by the quality of the air. Smith said scientific evidence is accumulating that the carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen standards for 1981 are unnecessarily strict. 0 0 6 - 1 Whatever your degree will be, the Navy can give you a management position (if you qualify).
