Campus activities United Press International WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, in a downpour of orders, starting its new term, agreed Monday to take up a potpourri of cases involving everything from child sterilization to lawyer solicita tion and sex-segregated pension plans. The justices rejected appeals in volving such sensitive minority is sues as the firing of a homosexual teacher, racial quotas ordered for Chicago police promotions, and the Kiwanis Club’s policy of excluding women from membership. In a piece of good news for civil rights groups, however, they let stand a controversial desegregation plan for Wilmington, Del., that re quires the merger of school districts encompassing almost two-thirds of the state’s students. The court rejected Richard Ni xon’s appeal of a judge’s ruling that his White House tapes may be screened for evidence in a civil damage suit involving anti-war dem onstrators arrested at the Capitol in 1971. But it appeared to put to an end government efforts to prosecute Frank DeMarco Jr., the lawyer who prepared Nixon’s 1969 tax return, on charges of conspiring to defraud the United States. The court agreed to hear argu ments later this term on a ruling that shook up the communications industry by requiring newspapers to give up ownership of broadcast sta tions operating in the same market. At stake are 60 newspaper- television station cross-ownerships and many more combinations in volving radio stations. The justices also agreed to decide whether a judge who approved a mother’s request to have her 15- year-old girl sterilized can be sued for damages by the daughter. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in an Indiana case that the an swer is yes. In addition, the justices offered to rule this winter or next spring whether an employer may require women workers, who have a longer average life span than men, to make larger pension fund contributions. They also accepted for review cases involving: —A judge’s ruling that police armed with a warrant acted unlaw fully when they searched offices of the Stanford Daily in 1971 for photos of demonstrators. —Whether authorities must ob tain a warrant before re-entering a fire-damaged building to gather evidence of arson. —Whether the organized bar may penalize a lawyer who recom mends his own services to a pro spective client. —Challenges to a Maryland law which bars oil companies from operating their own retail service stations and requires them to sell gasoline to dealers at a uniform price. —Whether The Minnesota Pen sion Act, designed to protect work ers when a plant is closed or a pri vate pension plan is terminated, clashes with federal law. The court upheld Tennessee’s col lege student aid program, which goes to applicants attending both secular and church-related institu tions.
