Police from three departments converged on
an outdoor party in the area of Edgewood and
Deming Saturday night and Sunday morning
arresting 22 people in various alcohol-related
charges.
Police from the Mount Pleasant Police Department, the Isabella County Sheriffs Department and the Department of Public Safety
were involved in the operation which began
late Saturday night and lasted into the early
hours of Sunday morning, Mount Pleasant
police reported.
It is unknown how many of the 22 arrested
are CMU students. City police listed 12 names
of those arrested and the Isabella County Sheriffs Department made no arrests during the
night.
Department of Public Safety Director John
McAuliffe said he was aware the coordinated
operation was taking place, but as of Sunday
night did not have any figures of the numbers
his department arrested or what charges
would be brought.
He also said he was unable to comment on the
number of police from his department or from
the other departments involved in the operation.
City Director of Public Safety Martin
Trombley was unavailable for comment.
Charges listed on a Mount Pleasant Police
Department press release ranged from "minor
in possession," to "operating a vehicle while
under the influence."
Arrests were made after city police received
several phone calls complaining of a loud and
large party in the Edgewood area, police reported.
All of those arrested were given appearance
citations by the Mount Pleasant Police, and will
appear for preliminary hearing s at a set date.
James Hill vice president of Student Affairs,
said any CMU students arrested face possible
on campus hearing according to standard procedure.
Hill stressed, however, that no action can be
taken by the University until documented evidence of the charges is forwarded to the University by police.
The 22 arrests were the most made at a single party since 52 Main Street party arrests
more than a month ago.
City police broke the arrests into three cata-
gories: Minors in possession, 17 arrests; consuming in public, three arrests; and operating
while under the influence, two arrests.
Following is a partial list of those arrested
and the charges:
Karen Rae Hiyama, minor in possesion (MIP);

Demonstrators face protests
by TOM KEATING
LIFE Staff Writer
Protesters against nuclear weapons were not well received
Friday as they were pelted with filled balloons and given the
cold shoulder by observers.
A nuclear arms protest rally outside of Park Library kicked
of fa national freeze weekend.
The Central Michigan Creative Peace Movement which sponsored the friday demonstration also traveled to Chicago Saturday to participate in a national nuclear arms protest. (See Related story)
Approximately IS people carried signs, handed out leaflets
and blue armbands while trying to make students and faculty
more aware of the nuclear freeze issue.
The demonstration was marred by an unidentified person or
persons throwing ballons filled with mayonnaise at the protesters and in one case spraying two volunteers with the contents
of the balloons. Other ballons fell harmlessly beyond the picke-
ters.
"I was very upset that they did that.it shows their immaturity
but I feel it's better to throw mayonnaise at each other instead of
missiles," Ann Patterson, Washington sophomore, said.
Along with the ballons the protesters were greeted with many
negative reactions. A lot of people who passed by refused to
accept leaflets and armbands harshly, while also refusing to
listen to what the group had to say.
One student on a bike when asked if he would like a leaflet
replied "I'm going to go home and drop a bomb on all you guys."
"I think these people are wasting their time because they are
not proving anything and people aren't even paying attention to
them," Michael Jarema. Warren senior, said.
Some of the protest's bystanders who were in support of the
nuclear freeze, were dissatisfied with the demonstration.
"I am disappointed with the rally because the people are
pro-Reagan and don't have any interest in the freeze issue. It's
frightening." Dave Ileyl, custodian forthephysical plant,said.
"This is a lot smaller than I expected. I thought more students
would show concern for the freeze issue." Joe Power, Birmingham freshman, said

more than once with conducting a nuisance party. The
second ordinance defines a
nuisance party.
At Thursday's meeting. land-
About 50 landlords were present at the meeting.
Commissioner Sybil Ellis
said she was "pleased with the
input," although she said the
commission has "knocked
around most of the ideas
already."

commission may pass or defeat
the ordinances or defer action
to another time.
The meeting is at the city

Highway corner
to get traffic light
byTIMMcAVOY
UFE Staff Writer
A flashing beacon light
will be installed at the intersection of M-20 and Lincoln Road to help prevent
traffic accidents, a state
highway department repre-
sentative told Union
Township and Isabella County officials Friday.
State Highway Department traffic engineer Mike
Jones said the flashing light,
which should be in place between six months and a year
from now, was granted by
the department because a
traffic count showed a sufficient amount of right-angle
accidents have occurred at
the intersection.
The stop-and-go light originally requested by the
township was denied by the
department because the
traffic count showed the
amount of traffic on Lincoln
Road did not meet department guidelines, adequate
gaps for cars to turn were
available and cars at the intersection were never delayed for over two minutes,
Jones said.
Jones made his comments
at a meeting with Union
Township Supervisor Keith
Decker. Sheriff James Mull
and Capt. John Bradac of the
Isabella County Sheriffs de-
partment. and Isabella
County Road Commission
Engineer Manager Robert
Caltrider.
The township had requested the light as a result
of two separate accidents
last month in which two
were killed and eight injured. Both accidents were
alcohol related.

intoxicated drivers and what

FA to decide on contract voting procedures

Faculty Association members are scheduled to discuss
the tentatively agreed-upon
contract, and decide the process of ratification today.
FA bargaining team Chairman Ed McKenna said voting
on the contract probably will
be limited to fee-paying FA
members and will be spread
over two days. A simple majority is needed to ratify the contract.
Included in the tentatively
agreed-upon contract is a new
expedited grievance procedure.
"Normal procedure could
take two to three months, and
that's if all goes smoothly,'
McKenna said. With the expedited grievance procedure
faculty members can avoic
several steps and go straight U
