The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, November 7, 1978-Page 5 Students hold to sex BY BETH ROSENBERG The public's attitude toward marriage, divorce, and traditional male-female stereotypes were discussed yesterday at the "Changing Family, Changing Workplace" con- ference sponsored by the Center,for Continuing Education of Women. Regula Herzog, an assistant research scientist at the University's Institute for -Social Research (ISR), said the results of her sampling of 2,500 1977 high school graduates show that the students generally subscribe to traditional male-female roles. HERZOG, addressing 150 conference participants in the Rackham Am- phitheater, said the students approved of the husband and wife sharing responsibilities when no children are involved. But, as soon as offspring en- ter the scene, most high school respon- dents said the wife should quit work and stay home with the children. A majority of both the male and female respondents said less than full- time employment by the male is unac- ceptable, according to Herzog.

The radio, monitored in Nairobi, Kenya, said the message was the "best" received by Amin from another head of state since the border war began a week ago and indicated Moscow's desire for peace. Contents of the message were not disclosed. ..MEANWHILE, the government- owned press here indicated that Tan- zania will not be content to drive Amin's forces from Tanzania but will . take steps to overthrow the "idiot" dic- -, tator. Ugandan troops crossed the border into Tanzania last Monday and Amin announced he was annexing 710-square miles of Tanzania's northwestern territory. According to unconfirmed reports in Nairobi, Amin has dispatched mem- bers of his country's "suicide bat- talion" and a mechanized regiment to positions in the rear of the battle zone with orders to shoot any Ugandan sol- dier retreating or attempting to desert. According to Ugandan exiles, Ugandan soldiers on the front are without dry food rations and morale is low. BREZHNEV'S message 'followed remarks by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance last week calling for withdrawal of Ugandan troops from Tanzania. : Uganda Radio said Amin warned the superpowers to stay out of the conflict because it is strictly an African affair. The Daily News, Dar Es Salaam's - government-owned newspaper, said that until the invasion Tanzanians "were willing to suffer the idiot as a neighbor whose utterances and actions were detested but whose fate would be Soviets -or er executive to stay MOSCOW (AP)-Soviet authorities have ordered an American business- man not to leave the country pending investigation of a car-pedestrian ac- cident in which he was involved, a U.S. ' Embassy spokesman said yesterday.

SONNER, WHO has lived here for more than a year with his family, is the second U.S. businessman here to be in- volved in an investigation by Soviet authorities. Francis Crawford, former Moscow representative for International Har- vester Corp., was convicted in Septem- ber on charges he violated currency laws but was later allowed to leave the country. U.S. officials and Sonner declined comment on speculation the case may be Soviet retaliation for the stiff prison sentences given two convicted Russian spies in the United States. A source acknowledged privately the Sonner case "is unusual, in that this doesn't happen every day of the week." to Amin decided by the people of Uganda them- selves." But now "that he has ordered his troops to kill our people and occupy part of our territory makes it necessary for us to deal with him in a manner that will put an end to this sad story," the paper said in an editorial. AMIN SAID THE invasion was in retaliation for Tanzania's alleged Cuban-backed incursion into Uganda the previous week and Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere's refusal to recognize Amin's political legitimacy. Tanzania denied it invaded Uganda and said the charges were ridiculous. Nyerere has said his country has no choice but to "hit back at him until we have, finally gotten rid of this snake in our house." African leaders, meanwhile, laun- ched a diplomatic offensive to end the bloodshed. Three top African envoys arrived in Kampala, the Ugandan capital, for talks with Amin, and Kenyan President Daniel Aran Moi urged peace in a telephone conver- sation with the Ugandan leader. . Uganda Radio said Amin met with Peter Onu, a special envoy from the Organization of African Unity (OAU), and suggested the OAU name a special committee, acceptable to both him and Nyerere, to mediate the war. The radio quoted Amin as saying there is no reason the two nations cannot be brought to an understanding. But Nyerere has rejected suggestions for mediation. Mohammed Zuwai, Liby'a's minister of information and culture, went to Kampala carrying a message to Amin from Libyan strongman Moammar Kadafy, a major financial backer of the Ugandan leader. Zuwai reportedly held talks with Amin and was expected to go to Dar Es Salaam for discussions with Tanzanian officials. Sudanese envoy Phillip Obang also was in Kampala yesterday for talks with Amin.
