ACLU SPOKESMAN Calvin Michael speaking outside{City Hall yesterday,
criticized a proposed city ordinance that would require halfway house in-
mates and parolees to register with the city within 10 days of establishing
Ann Arbor residency. Michael called such an ordinance "unnecessary" and
a violation of constitutional protections and rights.

"I don't think it (the proposed or-

"But the closest we can tell is it's legal,
