Part 1:

Question 1. David Ungar holds a Dunkin' Donuts franchise. The terms of his franchise agreement require him to use only those ingredients furnished by Dunkin' Donuts. He is also required to buy its napkins, cups, and so on, with the Dunkin' Donuts trademark on them. Is this an illegal tying arrangement? What if Dunkin' Donuts maintains that it needs these requirements to maintain its quality levels on a nationwide basis? [Ungar v. Dunkin' Donuts of America, Inc., 429 U.S. 823]

Question 2: Hines Cosmetic Co. sold beauty preparations na-tionally to beauty shops at a standard or fixed-price schedule. Some of the shops were also supplied with a free demonstrator and free advertising materials. The shops that were not supplied with them claimed that giving the free services and materials consti-tuted unlawful price discrimination. Hines replied that there was no price discrimination because it charged everyone the same. What it was giving free was merely a promotional campaign that was not intended to discriminate against those who were not given anything free. Was Hines guilty of unlawful price discrimination? Explain.

Part 2:

Question 3: What is the Federal Register? What role does it play in rulemaking? What is the difference between the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations?

Question 4: The Michigan Freedom of Information Act declares that it is the state's policy to give all persons full information about the actions of the government and that "the people shall be informed so that they may participate in the democratic process." The union of clerical workers at Michigan State Univer-sity requested the trustees of the university to give them the names and addresses of persons making monetary donations to the university. Michigan State objected because the disclosure of address-es was a violation of the right of privacy. Decide. [Clerical-Technical Union ofMichigan State University v. Board of Trustees ofMichigan State University, 475 N.W.2d 373 (Mich.)]
