State Panel Recommends Handgun Ban

LANSING - 
A ban on the handgun popularity known as Saturday night specials was recommended Monday by the Michigan Commission on Criminal Justice.
The commission adopted the recommendation on a voice vote after little debate.
The commission also recommended that possession of two ounces or less of marijuana be reduced to a simple misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $100 fine.
In addition the commission voted 24-17 against seeking to amend the state Constitution to permit capital punishment.
The commission's recommendations go to the governor, who may propose them as legislative programs.

AA SUN To Offer Free SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL To New Subscribers

New subscribers to the Ann Arbor SUN are being offered a free copy of the new album by the hottest band in Detroit, newspaper spokespersons said today.
The LP, Saturday Night Special by the Lyman Woodward Organization, has just been released by Detroit's Strata Records. Copies were obtained by the SUN through special arrangement with the artist-owned recording company and will be available for only a short time, the SUN source said.
Readers desiring their very own copy of Saturday Night Special before a legislative ban goes into effect are urged to subscribe today. "The first one's free," the SUN source said, wiping sudden tears. "But that's what they said about marijuana, and look where that got us."
