SOME 3,000 ANTI-NUCLEAR demonstrators march from Lansing's Riverside Park to the Capitol grounds as part of an afternoon rally Sunday.
Anti-mnuclear protesters rally at Lansig

By JOYCE FRIEDEN
One message at Sunday's demon-
stration against nuclear power in Lan-
sing was that more demonstrations
against nuclear power may not do
much good.
Perhaps disappointed by a lower tur-
nout than had been anticipated,
organizors said action, not speeches,
are needed to achieve their uncom-
promising goal - the end to nuclear
power in the state and the country.
DESPITE A delightfully warm In-
dian Summer afternoon, anti-nuclear
luminaries such as Howard Morland -
author of the article on the H-bomb
published in the Progressive magazine
after a long censorship.battle - and the
promise that protest in the right kind of
numbers might make a difference, only
about 3,000 demonstrators marched in
Lansing during the peaceful four-hour
rally.
It wasn't a failure, but it wasn't as
they'd hoped. Organizers had predicted
the march would top the figure reached
in Midland in April when 5,000 demon-
strated.
But on Sunday the most generous -'
estimate reached 4,000, while most
figured lower. One state patrolman put
the number at 1,000.
"THOUSANDS OF us are standing up
against nuclear power," local Arbor
Alliance member Lynn Boumaster told

the crowd which lounged on the Capitol
grounds after most of the speeches and
songs and chants were done. "But when
we go to the Legislature, our voices are
not heard. The courts deny our
petitions. But take the corporation's
money away, and suddenly their power
evaporates."
Boumaster was referring to a "rate
strike" against Detroit Edison and
Consumer's Power. Strikers would
refuse to pay that portion of their mon-
thly bill used to finance nuclear power
plant construction. Since the customers
who do not pay their bills are entitled to
both a check on their meter and a court
hearing, say organizers, the money and
effort spent by the power company
fighting the strike would be con-
siderable if many participated.
Mary Dent, a member of the Oct. 21
Coalition, a group of representatives
from across the state, said: "A rate
strike hasn't been tried before and it
needs to be tried. Just holding rallies
isn't going to do it."
THE MARCH began at Riverside
Park in Lansing, where pro-nuclear
demonstrators passed out information
and held up signs such as the one
reading, "We're not Fonda Jane."
"Fusion energy has been proven a
feasible concept," said Marty Rowland,
a University of Michigan engineering
graduate and a member of the Fusion

Energy Foundation. "We must have
fission (power plants) to get the
economy ready when fusion technology
arrives."
The anti-nuclear marchers had
various reasons for opposing any form
of nuclear power.
"THE TECHNOLOGY is so complex
that it's just impossible to operate (it)
without accidents," said 72-year-old
Carfon Foltz, a member of the local Ar-
bor Alliance. "Even the engineers ad-
mit there will be accidents." Foltz is
planning to go-to Washington next week
for a protest with members of the
clergy against nuclear weapons and
nuclear bomb testing.

researchers
measure
solar
radiation
By WILLIAM THOMPSON
University researchers are
measuring solar radiation levels
around the state in an effort to provide
exact figures for the construction of
solar collectors.
The Solar Radiation Project (SRP) is
run by the Department of Energy to
make it easier for Americans to use
solar energy and to publicize the fact
that it is a workable energy source.
MEMBERS OF the University's At-
mospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Department working out of North
Campus are covering one of the six
national regions for the SRP. Sunday,
they launched their drive to create
public awareness of their work by
enhibiting their equipment.
The exhibit was part of a tour of area
facilities involved with solar energy
and was sponsored by "Sunburst
'79", a conference on solar energy held
in Ypsilanti over the weekend.
The SRP measures solar radiation
and issues data which serve as a
guideline for how solar equipment can
be used in this area. "The purpose of
this is to cater to the public;" said SRP
research assistant Bruce Baker.

member of the "Big Rock 14," a group
of people who were arrested last
December for trespassing at the Big
Rock nuclear plant. The case is curren-
tly under appeal.
"There are just no viable solutions to
the problem of waste disposal,"
Moldenhauer said.
At the Capitol, protesters sat on the
lawn for over three hours. Among the
musicians who performed was Holly
Near, nationally-known activist and
folksinger. "I'm very much opposed to
the 'nuclear mentality'," Near said.
She said the need for cohesion among
the marchers is important. "Among us
are many different ways of thinking
and feeling. We must remember not to
be oppressive to each other."
