cannot be based upon the same prin-
ciple."
Earlier, Morris said that rather than
considering an ordinance that would
require registration of prisoners and
parolees who reside in Ann Arbor, the
council favors the "resolution" ap-
proach. This will only "request" in-
dividuals to register with the city ad-
ministrator, and even then, would only
include convicts who have time
remaining on their sentence. In this
way, the city would avoid raising
questions as to the constitutionality of
such a law.
"We can't govern state officials,"
said Morris, "and I doubt there wpuld
be any constitutional question."
HOWEVER, Peterson predicted that
"'the same opposition will come up to
the resolution that came up to the
proposal." He warned other coun-
cilmembers that "they should under-
stand thAt this was a very real op-
position," and while he doesn't want to
accuse members of trying to circum-
vent the constitutionality issue by
rewording the proposal into a
"resolution", Peterson said, "it won 't
be possible to circumvent the process."
In an interview held earlier, Peterson
said, "I think that the police depar-
tment wants even more than that,"
referring to the registration data that
may be required. According to Peter-
son, the police may want photographs
and fingerprints as part of an even
more restrictive prograin.
"FIRST OF all, you are dealing with
people who don't - have any rights,"
Peterson said, adding that a similar
law was struck down in a California
case (Landberg v. California) as un-
constitutional, and said that his infor-

"Obviously the research in this case
(Prisoners/Parolees) was not very
thorough at all, and certainly, initially,
to make it stick, the police will have to
beginbharassing people," the council
member said.
In other council business, an ordinan-
ce passed unanimously will prohibit the
carrying of "any knife, sword, or
machete having a blade longer than
four inches," except under special cir-
cumstances such as "when fishing,"
purchasing or selling a properly
packagedinstrument, engaging in work
which requires the device, or "when
worn as part of a military or fraternal
uniform in connection with a public
ceremony or parade," according to
council materials.
Guards
fired in
aftermath
of state
prison riot
LANSING (UPI =- Corrections
Director Perry Johnson fired the
president of the prison guards' union
and a deputy warden at Southern
Michigan Prison and punished 17 others
yesterday for actions in connection with
last month's riots.
Michigan Corrections Organization
President Gerald Fryt and guard Tim
Voris were dismissed for their part in
the unauthorized shakedown and
weapons search at the Jackson Prison,
which is believed to have triggered the
worst rioting in30 years.
ANOTHER 14 were suspended for 10
to 30 days without pay for refusing to
follow orders during the May 22 in-
cident. Five others remain under in-
vestigation.
Fred Parks, director of the MCO, said
the union will appeal the dismissals and
suspensions but will strive to prevent
the wildcat walkouts which some have
said would occur if stiff action was
taken against guards.
"ANY TIME you fire the president of
any union -it is very provocative,"
Parks said.
The disciplinary action had been ex-
pected, but more surprising was the
dismissal of Deputy Warden Willie
Cason, who allegedly had information
on May 25 that renewed rioting was
possible and failed to pass it on to War-
den Barry Mintzes.
Two other administrators, Assistant
Deputy Warden Mark Hartsock and Or-
son Bunker, were demoted for the same
reason.
