Fifty people—including six

ranging from marijuana to LSD
to cocaine within the past seven
months,

5 and 14.
Mitchell, Mount Pleasant senior;
and Anthony Gene Stimac,
Muskegon senior.
Of the 50 people arrested, 13
were juveniles.
Kaake. 20, is accused of selling
cocaine, -LSD" and marijuana,
which bave maximum conviction
penalties of 20, seven and four
years imprisoment, respectively. Slie is being held in the
Isabella County jail after failing
to post the necessary $4,000 of
her combined $40,000 bond.
Remboski, 21, also is being
held in jail, and Clark, 20, was
released on a $5,000 bond. Both
were charged with selling LSD.
Groh, 20, was accused of
selling methaqualone, which has
a maximum conviction penalty
of 7 years imprisonment. He was
freed on a $5,000 personal
recognizance bond.
Mitchell, 23, and Stimac, 23,
were charged with selling
marijuana. Stimac was arrested
on two counts. Both were
released on personal
recognizance bonds.
Most of the people were
arrested for separate offenses.
Two sheriffs deputies spent
about $7,000 to buy the drugs
while working undercover since
last June.
"In narcotics, 80 or 90 percent
is a good percentage. We are
very pleased with how things
went," said Lt. Jerry Hyland of
"The word will
get out that
Isabel/a County is a
real poor place to
deaf in narcotics. "—Lt Jerry
Hyland
the Mount Pleasant State Police
'post.
"The arrests will have quite
an impact," Hyland added. "The
word will get out that Isabella
County is a real poor place to
deal in narcotics."
Most of the people were freed
on personal recognizance bonds
or after paying 10 percent of
single bonds ranging from
$2,500 to $20,000.
Each of them faces a
preliminary examination Jan.
27.
Seventy-eight  warrants  and
juvenile petitions were issued
for the original 60 persons
sought. The people arrested
Thursday is the most ever in a
single day for drug-related
charges in Isabella County.
The separate drug raids mark
the climax of seven months of
investigation by state narcotics
officials, state police, Mount
Pleasant and Shepherd city
police, the Isabella County'
Sheriff's Department and
CMU's Department of Public
Safety.
"We had-a heck of a lot of
support from all those involved,
and really worked beautifully
together," said Sgt. Frank
Stevens of the Sheriff's
Department.
The Sheriffs Department
prompted the ambitious endeavor last June after a deputy
suggested an exchange program
in which he would go undercover
in another county while a deputy
from the same county would
work undercover in Isabella
County.
The two departments concurred. From there, each deputy
made contacts in the other's
county to find those considered
drug dealers and secure
evidence.
The Isabella County Board of
Commissioners agreed to
finance the investigation.
For example, drug sales were
made at about $40 an ounce for
marijuana and $3 for a hit of
LSD. •
After awhile, the county could
no longer afford the investigation. Funding, however,
was picked up by the Narcotics
Unit of the Criminal Investigation Section of the

NCAA will   govern
women's athletics
byMATTDOBEK
LIFE Sports Editor
Despite opposition by the Association for
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
voted Tuesday for governance of women's
athletics.
With the move, the NCAA has given the
option to Division I schools to follow its
rules, enabling these institutions to participate in championships sponsored by the
NCAA.' „
According to CMU Athletic Director Ted
Kjolhede, it remains to be seen whether the
AIAW will be able, to survive with the
competition created by the NCAA.
The NCAA will allow the institution to
compete under any set of national rules until
1985, at which time each individual institution will have to decide whether they
will comply with AIAW, NCAA, or the
National Association for Intercollegiate
Athletics.
At the Miami, Fla. meetings, CMU was
represented by President Harold Abel,
CMU Associate Director Fran Koenig and
Kjolhede.
Each institution has one vote, and on the
issue of governance, CMU voted against the
NCAA's decision of taking women's
athletics under its control,
"I am really disappointed with the NCAA
getting into women's athletics," Koenig
said. "I see the AIAW not being able to
exist."
Financially, according to Koenig, the
NCAA has much more money that the
AIAW cannot provide.
As for what CMU will do in 1985, when it
will have to render a decision, Koenig is not
sure.
"Initially, we will stay with the AIAW,"
she said. "But in 1985 we are still uncertain

reason to start smiling yet-he's being kept in the county jail on a $5,000 bond.
Governor bypasses
Umphrey for Board
by JOHN BARNES
LIFE Ass't. News Editor
Former Board of Trustees
Chairman James Umphrey
revealed Thursday he will not be
reappointed to a third term on
the University's policy setting
bodv.
Gov. William G. Milliken has
not yet announced his two
appointees to replace Umphrey
and former Trustee Lawrence
Rahilly, both of whose terms
expired Dec. 31. Trustee appointments are for eight years.
Umphrey said last week he
wished to be reappointed but
was notified through a letter
from Milliken of the denial.
Rahilly was not seeking
reappointment.
"The governor has firmed up
a policy that two terms is long
enough for a person to be on the
Board," Umphrey said, adding
the policy is an attempt to
"infuse new blood" into
Universities state-wide.
"He (Milliken) is following a
policy and in all honesty I don't
disagree with him. I just wish
he'd implemented it about a year
later," Umphrey said.
Calling Milliken's letter "very
warm and personal," Umphrey
said, "It's his announcement, not
mine, and the governor can
certainly do what he chooses
about his appointments. That's
his responsibility.
Technically, Umphrey may
continue to sit on the Board until
Milliken appoints his
replacement.
If that appointment does not
come before Wednesday's
scheduled meeting, Umphrey
said he will attend the session
but "won't make any motions at
this stage of the game."
Because both Rahilly and
Trustee Margaret Riecker have
indicated they would not be
attending the meeting, Umphrey said it would be impossible for the Board to go into
closed session without his
presence, if new appointments
are hot made.
