The Michigan Republicans Club (MIRC), formed last January, attracted about 135 members in its first few months of existence. "Our meetings were larger than some of the left wing groups on campus," Yvonne Haddad, treasurer of MIRC, said recently. MIRC PRESIDENT Larry Lichtman asser- ted that the club has "kind of turned around the image of the Republican Party on campus:" But MIRC members said it is unpopular to openly declare one is a Republican on campus. "I think that there are a lot of undercover Republicans on campus," said Robert Di Scipio, a member of the Michigan Student Assembly elected last spring on a MIRC ticket. 'MIRC members, who call themselves moderates, are concerned about issues such as solar energy, city housing, and excessive government spending. THE DRIVING force behind student interest in MIRC is economics, according to DiScipio and other MIRC members. "The people who study economics and business seem to favor Republicans," DiScipio said, "I think they feel the Republicans have a better answer to the economic problems than the Democrats do." Other than a loose agreement with Republican economic ideas, MIRC appears to have no strict ideology binding the members together. "We have our Reagan supporters, and then on the other hand, we have our liberals," Haddad said. THE CLUB is not formally affiliated with the city's Republican Party, although students have participated in election campaigns in the past. "I think most people in MIRC are interested in campus politics of a sort, and national politics. There's not much we can doin the city," Lee said. Lee suggested that although relations are friendly between Ann Arbor and campus Republican organizations, the two groups have different goals. MIRC IS represented at county Republican Party meetings, and that group once con- tributed funds to MIRC, Lee said. But the-at- titude among county party officials was, "Hey, no policy decisions from you guys. And I think the (attitude in) the city is pretty much the same," Lee added. Lee said he began organizing MIRC in January, 1978 with the advice and en- couragement of University Political Science Professor George Grassmuck and other faculty members. According to Lee, many of the group's 135 members last year were students who had worked on the campaigns of Governor William Milliken and Republican Senate candida te Robert Griffin in November, 1978. HE SA)ID the group has an eight-member ad- visory board that include§ two members of the University's Board of Regents, David Laro (R- Flint) and Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor). The advisors board has told the students how to secure speakers, raise funds, and publicize the club, Lee said. Although MIRC is not backing any particular candidate or issue presently, President Licht- man said he is "constantly" besieged with people asking about the organization. Lichtman said the group is still organizing, and currently plans only to bring speakers, in- cluding Republican presidential candidates, to campus. % Apparently the national news media have taken an interest in MIRC, perhaps identifying it as a manifestation of a conservative trend on college campuses nationwide. Lee has been asked to contribute to a Newsweek magazine column on college life, and Lichtman has recently been interviewed by a senior resear- cher for the National Broadcasting Company. JFK library dedicated in Boston From UPI and AP BOSTON - President Carter and Sen. Edward Kennedy, who is expected to try to take the presidency from him in 1980, joined yesterday to dedicate the $20.8 million cathedral-like John F. Kennedy Library.

That ex- pression, which Michigan made famous, could easily have been changed here yesterday to three yards and a gust of wind. Playing in 35-mile-per-hour winds, Michigan was somewhat reluctant to pass and thus resorted to their' patented rushing game to throttle sur- prising Illinois 27-7. Playing before 43,370 wind- blown spectators, who haven't seen the Illini capture a home win since 1977, the Wolverines dominated the second half of play after battling to a 0-0 stalemate at halftime. In the first half, both coaches, Bo Schembechler and Gary Moeller, battled the winds more than their opponents. "It was definitely a wind game. It was thetoughest wind I've played in in a long time. It was like a'wind tunnel out there," Schembechler said. S. Korean troops quell "That was the critical factor in the game. I'm not so sure that having it behind you was any help except in the kicking game. It was hard throwing with or against the wind," he noted. Sophomore tailback Butch Woolfolk didn't let the wind affect him at all as he sc'ooted for three second half touch- downs after sitting out much ofathe first half. In a contest which pushed Michigan's record to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the Big Ten, it was, however, the Michigan defense which dominated. The only Illini TD was notched against Michigan reserves. Until that point, the Wolverine defense, spearheaded once again by Ron Simpkins and Curtis Greer, held the Fighting Illini and their third-string quarterback, Tim McAvoy to 164 yards,., After Illinois elected to receive the second half kickoff despite facing the strong winds, the Wolverines forced the key mistake. On the second play from scriunmage in this half, senior corner- back Mike Jolly once again was the hero. Jolly leaped up and gathered in McAvoy's pass, his fourth interception of the year. at the Illinois 36. "Jolly will get you once a game if you don't throw around him," Shembechler asserted. This proved the turning point as the See MI('IIGAN, Page 12 From AP and UPI MASAN, South Korea - President Park Chung-hee's government poured troops into Masan yesterday in a show of force against growing numbers of an- ti-government rioters who surged through the streets chanting "abolish dictatorship." Hundreds of troops, prominently displaying their weapons and singing military songs, paraded through the politically charged city at dawn and were reinforced in the afternoon by 1,200 paratroopers and 'armored vehicles. SOUTH KOREA'S political op- position leader warned that the distur- bances will continue unless Park changes his "autocratic policies." Soldiers in riot gear and carrying M- A 16 rifles were stationed at major inter- sections and along main roads in the central areas of both southern coastal cities, enforcing a 10 p.m. curfew. Hundreds of demonstrators were arrested in the violence last week. POLICE ALSO tightened security in Taegu, north of Pusan, because of fears that student disturbances might spread to that traditional opposition stronghold.{ Pusan, where the first of the wave of demonstrationsi against Park's authoritarian government erupted Tuesday, has been under martial law since Thursday. The army took over security from police in Masan on Saturday. The disturbances were touched off by Park's recent expulsion of opposition leader Kim Young-sam from the National Assembly. All 69 opposition legislators resigned last week in protest. Kim was elected from a con- stituency in Pusan, South Korea's second largest city. KIM TOLD a reporter the riots were "unfortunate," but he said they showed that Park's government had lost the people's support. "The only way to avoid more is for Park to change his autocratic policies," Kim said. "If Park does not take action to tran- sfer power peacefully, the incidents will continue," he said. ON FRIDAY night, almost 2,000 students, workers, and others attacked rioting government facilities in Masan in the second day of demonstrations here. They damaged the city's main telecommunications office, stoned police substations, and destroyed some telephone booths. Park poured troops into the city, 175 miles south of Seoul, on Friday, shut down the two colleges, and limited high school hours, and arrested almost 500 demonstr a tors. NOW hs ovahon for ERA Soviet, ISR scientists exchange ideas, culture di By NICK KATSARELAS After a three-day conference with American scientists at the Institute of Social Research (ISR), eight social scientists from the Soviet Union left Ann Arbor yesterday, but not before leaving behind what one of their American hosts called "more understanding and a better willingness to cooperate." The Soviet scientists were here for a conference to com- pare research methods and to agree on appropriate methodologies to make the understanding of research bet- ween the two countries easier and more accessible, accor- ding to Kenneth Latta, administrative associate in the direc- tor's office at ISR. ELEVEN AMERICANS, including six ISR scientists, participated in the conference which was titled "Soviet- American Conference on Research Methods and the Use of Indicators in the Study of Social Progress Processess." Some of the topics discussed by the two groups of scien- tists included the way people from both countries spend their extra time, and methods to pick more accurate represen- tative samples of the two country's citizenry, according to 2' uring A meeting Latta, who served as the tour guide of the Soviets. Latta said the Russian scientists were very interested in the computer facilities and advanced technologies at ISR and the University. FRIDAY, THE Soviets toured the Ford Company s Rouge Plant in Dearborn. Latta said they were "impressed"' with the amount of automation at the plant. He added that although the Soviet Union does not possess the same degree of technology in their manufacturing plants, "they put more effort into increasing their workers' productivity." Latta explained that research in both scientific com- munities is burdened, but by different forces. "In the United States, certain research is not able to be conducted because the funding isn't available," said Latta. "In the Soviet Union, the government won't permit par- ticular types of research, but the Russians are not controlled by budget constraints." THE SOVIET visitors got their share of American--and Ann Arbor-culture during their sojourn. Latta said they took in two movies: "The Seduction of Joe Tynan," and "Apocalpyse Now."

The ERA Movathon, sponsored by the Ann Arbor National Organization for Women (NOW),. was held to raise money to promote ratification of the ERA. The participants, mostly women, received pledges for each of the five miles of the Movathon. The money will be going to the National Campaign to Ratify the ERA. AT 9 A.M. THE ERA supporters were warming up in Palmer Field for the Movathon, which began at 9:30. Many women were dressed in green and white to represent the colors of the ERA: Green for the economic aspect of the ERA (equal pay for equal work) and white to commemorate the early suf- fragettes.

By the time Ann Arborfighters arrived on the scene the fire had burned itself out leaving only smoke and ashes in the hall outside Second Anderson Resident Fellow Peter Evans' room. Evans, whose own door had been victimized, said he had no suspects in the apparent arson. He said the announcements were of the standard dorm fare and could not possibly have incited anyone to torch them for philosophical reasons. Evans did, however, lament the setting ablaze of his Dalai Llama poster. r nu Y members of the Barristers, male and female, emerged from the shadows holding candles and clad in a variety of costumes including a monk, boy scout, hooker, and skier. After a brief ceremony during which the names of the society's new members were called and a reading of the society's 75-year-olo history the Barristers then retired to a side room to party-their sole reason to exist according to Barrister Al Knauf.
