Officials differ over

'pass-up'
By STEVE KNOPPER
University officials gave mix
reactions yesterday to an Ann Arb
City Council resolution, passe
Monday, that would use city polic
officers more effectively to det
"passing up" at Michigan footba
games.
Crowd members "pass up" oth
fans by lifting them from their sea
and handing them to other spectato
behind them. The process is legal
defined as assault, but the charge ca
only be enforced if the victim con
plains to a police officer.
"(Passing up) has resulted in

elbows, concussions and bruises, a

quently emotionally shaken an
traumatized," said the resolution.
