By VANS STEVENSON An inmate or camper, as he Is referred to in the Michigan IMG i Camp Program tis given to each man when he enters Camp Sauble, has just about the same type of freedom as a man who is sent to basic training upon entering the armed forces. The daily mode of living greatly resembles that of a man in boot camp.

Upon entering the camp each man is issued the guide book which contains the rules and regulations of the facility, including the general rules, vi siting regulations, correspondence rules, general advice, barracks rules, dining room, personal appearance, incentives, disciplinary policies, inmate grievance procedure, contraband, first aid, telephone privileges, hobbycraft and laundry. One line stands out when one leafs through the 16-page booklet; "You are reminded that situations may arise which are not covered by specific rules and regulations you are urged to use good judgment." "The inmate can realize the responsibility and freedom he has here while he is serving time," said John Hawley, camp supervisor.

Kapcia. The complainant, Jerry J. Simpson of route 1 Luther, alleged that he had paid Kapcia $385 in January of 1971 to file a bankruptcy petition in his behalf.

Six months later, the petition had not yet been filed. During the interim, Simpson's wages were garnisheed at his job at the Ludington Pumped Storage Project, and Simpson was thenfiflred from his job, according to Simpson's testimony. Kapcia later repaid Simpson the $215 which the complainant had lost in garnisheed wages. Simpson did not request the return of his $385, covering attorney fees and related costs, until Thursday's hearing, at which time Kapcia said he would return the $385. The thrust of the hearing, however, did not center on the garnisheed wages, nor on the fee.

Instead, grievance board member James C. Herrington of Cadillac hammered away at one question: Why had Kapcia failed to file the bankruptcy petition for more than six months after the fee was paid? Kapcia, in several answers to that question, indicated that during the January-to-July period of last year, he was preoccu- 'pied with other problems. Why the Jong delay, Herrington persisted. "That's a difficult question to answer," Kapcia sajd in one reply, part of 'the answer, he added, involved "a general depression caused Savt substantially on quality watches during Colvln's Anniversary Sale. Adv.

by many things." At another point, Herrington asked Kapcia if he could explain the delay in filing the petition. Kapcia replied, "No sir, I honestly cannot." When the question was put again, Kapcia said, "I just put it (the bankruptcy petition) aside to get at other work instead." Kapcia served as probate judge of Lake County until he was suspended for six months by the Michigan Supreme Court earlier this year. After the two-hour hearing ended Thursday, the three panel members took the case under study. Panel Chairman Jay H. Sikkenga of Shelby told Kapcia that, "at a reasonable time in the the State Bar Grievance Board will notify you of any decision." Serving with Sikkenga and Herrington was Ludington attorney Leonard J.

Gavigan. Another Ludington attorney, John W. Claire, served as counsel for the panel.
