DY Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, November 13, 1979 Ten Cents Ten Panes OKXD}OQCarter stops ol imprts from Iran From Reuter and AP WASHINGTON-President Carter yesterday ordered an immediate halt to oil purchases from Iran and warned that he would reject unacceptable conditions for the release of more than 60 American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Carter said in a special televised address that he had stopped oil imports to "eliminate any suggestion that economic pressures can weaken our stand on basic issues of principle." ALTHOUGH HE DID not mention the deposed Shah of Iran, now undergoing cancer treatment in New York, Carter made it clear he would refuse to bow to demands that the former ruler be extradited to Iran to stand trial as an alleged criminal. A senior U.S. official said after the President delivered his address that halting oil imports removed a bargaining chip which Iran's revolutionary ruler Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini might have used. The oil cut-off had been considered for several days and finally decided at a meeting President Carter held with his senior policy advisers at the White House yesterday mor- ning, the official said. SHORTLY AFTER THE announcement of the oil cut-off in Washington, Iran's clergy-dominated Revolutionary Council declared that it would halt oil exports to the United4 States. Although the Iranian move was announced after the President's television announcement, Iran's acting oil minister, Ali Akbar, said the Revolutionary Council had made its decision before learning of Carter's order. On Saturday, amid clashes between anti-Shah Iranian demonstrators and angry Americans in various U.S. cities, the President ordered a crackdown on Iranian students who might be in the United States illegally. WASHINGTON INFORMED Iran that it was halting oil imports 15 minutes before he began to speak at 2 p.m:Detroit time. The official said Carter and his advisers had concluded unanimously that stopping daily imports of 700,000 barrels of crude oil and petroleum products from Iran would not lead to retaliatory action against the embassy hostages. Shipments from Iran represent about 3.8 per cent of the 19 million barrels of oil the United States uses every day. OFFICIALS SAID the United States was not looking for other suppliers to replace the Iranian oil and were counting on Americans to make up the loss by conserving more energy. Iranian oil would not be missed at all if every car was driven three miles a day less than at present, they said. The President's decision won quick approval from leading members of Congress, as well as oil industry executives. AMONG THE FIRST to welcome the action was Senator Edward Kennedy, who announced last week that he was challenging Carter for the Democratic Party's 1980 presiden- See CARTERPage 7 AP Pn)W STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS monitor teletypes and make calls to gather information in the Iran crisis room of the State Department in Washington, D.C. last week. 60 hostages are being held in U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran. E ADL Y GAS F R OM TRAIN STILL A THR EA T : Ocity 'a ghost' From AP and Reuter MISSISSAUGA, Ontario-Firefighters controlled a fire in the wreckage of a chemical-loaded train yesterday, but police' said the continuing threat of an explosion of deadly chlorine gas meant that 200,000 people who fled their homes wouldhave to stay away at least one .more day. A derailed tanker car carrying 90 tons of poisonous chlorine lay perilously close to burning tankers of propane gas that exploded after the Canadian Pacific freight train derailed late Saturday in this western Toronto suburb. )Firefighters, pouring tons of water a'nd special coolant onto the cars, re- ported bringing the fires under control early yesterday. Flames still flickered from some 'cracks, and 200 men con- tinued to fight the fire. No injuries were reported, but six propane tank cars had exploded and authorities were fighting to eliminate fire near the chlorine tank because, if subjected to extreme heat, it could' form phosgene, a type of deadly gas used in World War I. Douglas Burrows, police chief of the surrounding Peel region, said the evacuees might be able to return home today. "We still have a propane fire," he said yesterday. "We don't know when it's gong to be extinguished. We'll have to let it burn itself out." After that, firefighters must let the tanks and twisted wreckage cool before they can begin repairs and move the chlorine gas, he said. Some chlorine was leaking from the upended car and vaporizing. Initially there were numerous reports of eye and throat irritations, but an official of the Ontario Environment Ministry said . there was no serious health threat. Authorities said the accident could have been a holocaust had Larry Krupa, 27, a trainman, not braved the searing flames seconds after the crash See MISSISSAUGA, Page 2 Alliance for Better Education vies for four LSA-SG seats By CHARLES THOMSON East Quad has never been noted as exactly being a hotbed of conformists and quiet, non-activist students. Now, in keeping'with the spirit that brought the University the "killer" game and the Residential College, East Quad has its own political party for next week's LSA Student Government (LSA-SG) 'Two age laws affect A 2 bars elections. Although the group, the Alliance for Better Education (ABE), is one of the smallest of the five parties vying for seats in the elections, its foui can- didates, all from East Quad, say they are "hopeful" of being elected to the 15- member Executive Council of the student government of the University's largest college. AND, ACCORDING to party member Andrew Sloss, ABE is probably going to be around for a while. 'If we do well in. the election," he said, "we Will keep-it up. Even if we don't get elected we'll probably try again some other time." Formed last week by the party's can- didates - freshpersons Sloss and Karl Poterack and sophomores Paul Lee and Joel Vergun - ABE stresses "main- taining the educational standards" of the University as a main portion of their program "to look after ,the in- terests of the students." "We want to bring Michigan on a par with Harvard," said Sloss, adding the University is "a little bit below" that institution in terms of both academics and reputation. LSA-SG elections Sloss said the party wants the University to beef up both in-state and out-of-state recruitment efforts to offset declining enrollment and the smaller breadth of courses offered by the University that might result from an enrollment drop. POTERACK SAID the party is also concerned with the issue of tenure. He See EAST, Page 10 By MITCH STUART As many as 30 per cent of Ann Arbor's liquor-serving establishments may be violating state laws by refusing to ad- mit adults between the ages of 18 and 20, or forcing them to sit in certain areas because they are not 21. Local bar and restaurant owners claim the problem stems from a con- flict between two state agencies, the Liquor Control Commission (LCC) and the Department of Civil Rights. ESTABLISHMENTS THAT serve alcohol must be licensed through the LCC, and if they are found to be serving alcohol to people under 21, that license may be revoked. However, even though the passage of Proposition D last November raised the drinking age from 19 to 21, a state civil rights act passed in 1976 states that an owner or manager cannot refuse public accommodation to adults on the basis of age, according to Derek Flack, field representative for the State Depar- tment of Civil Rights. A telephone survey of 19 area bars and restaurants determined that four have entry or seating restrictions and two others reported they reserve the right to utilize such restrictions depen- ding on the situation. TONI'S APARTMENT, on Fuller Road, refuses to admit anyone under 21, while the Blind Pig, on S. First St., will not admit 18-20 year-olds after 9 p.m. The Liberty Inn, on W. Liberty, and Paul Bunyan's, on Jackson Road, both admit 18-20 year-olds, but at times they are not permitted to sit at the bar. Flack said a legal adult may not be See RIGHTS, Page 7 Pos -graduate job hunting Daily Photo by CYRENA CHANG A BOUNCER CARDS a student at The Blind Pig, an Ann Arbor/bar. Some 30 per cent of city drinking establishments may be violating state laws by refusing to admit 18 to 20-year-olds. Group begins push to lower drinking age Byv SUJ5AN RE ADE Citizens for a Fair Drinking Age (CFDA), a com- mittee formed to lower the state drinking age back to 19, contacted the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) yesterday, seeking University participation in its state-wide petition drive. The immediate goal of the campaign is to gather the 350,000 to 500,000 signatures necessary to put a proposition to change the drinking age on the 1980 general election ballot, according to CFDA treasurer Steven Goforth. DOUG HARGETT, Executive Director of the Lan- sing-based group, has been travelling to college cam- puses throughout the state to meet with student gover- nments. Committees of interested students will be formed on each campus to direct the -drives. One student from each campus will be appointed to the steering committee as the direct link between the CF- DA and the students. CFDA leaders stress that active participation by students will play a major role in the success of their campaign, including voter registration and petition drives. Hargett said if CDFA succeeds in getting the drinking issue back on the ballot, he thinks getting the proposal to lower the age passed will not be much trouble. "The key," he said, "is central organization." Hargett claimed that had last year's effort been better organized, Proposition D, which raised the drinking age to 21, never would have been passed. HARGETT SAID he has received "excellent sup- port" from the campuses he has visited. Margaret Maly, a member of the MSA Legislative Committee, said she believes the University "could get a good strong committee going." She added that the voter registration drive starting this week could boost the project. Maly also said MSA supports the CFDA campaign although the organizational details for this campus have vet to be determined. According to a CDFA report issued in May 1979, the organization was formed because of dissatisfaction many Michigan residents felt regarding the effects of Proposition D. The strongest opponents of the law in- clude 19-and 20-year-olds who feel the new age is un- fair, and bar and liquor store owners who have lost a good deal of business because of the hike. The Proposal D Work Group appointed by Governor Milliken last winter issued a report on the problems of implementing Propositon D. Included in the results was the lack of uniform enforcability of the law. Hargett claimed that "enforcement is impossible." See GROUP, Page 7 season has By MARY FARANSKI While most University students are caught up at this time of year in the midst of exams, term projects, and homework, some are beginning to think about another concern - the prospect of finding a job after graduation. Deborah May, assistant director of the University's Career Planning and Placement Office (CP&P) warned that while most graduating students post- pone the start, of their job hunt until January, some prospective employers begin recruiting workers during the fall term. "STUDENTS DON'T put as much time into career research as they do a term paper," May said. "A good job hunt takes a while. Don't be em- barrassed if it takes a few months," May said that while schools teach students skills, they do not teach students how to look for jobs. It often takes a while to get going on career research since there is no one to check up on a student and no deadline, as there are in class projects, she ex- plained. A job hunt begins with the decision on what kind of career a student wants to enter and in which geographical location the student wishes to work, ac- begun pat 'U' cording to career counselor Peggy Hendrix. After that comes the com- position of the resume and cover letter, followed by exploring actual companies, or organizations that might be in- terested in hiring. While some com- panies sendrecruiters to campus, a student should count on doing plenty of research on his or her own, Hendrix 'said. CAREER PLANNING and Placement is sponsoring workshops on Nov. 13, 14, and 15 on interviewing techniques, job finding strategies, and resume writing, respectively. These workshops will be repeated during the winter term. Both May and Hendrix stressed the importance of active job searches on the part of the student. Counselors and printed materials in the CP&P office can offer suggestions on where to look for jobs in one's particular field of study and interest, and advise on resumes and interviewing techniques. Another service offered by CP&P is the maintenance of a file of Campus In- terview Forms. These files are presen- ted to interviewers in a field of the student's interest, as indicated by the form.

Well, yesterday was Veteran's Day and since it is a federal holiday, the banks were closed. But there are some unpatriotic souls out there who know only that college life means spending lots of money over the weekend, so when the banks were closed, they resorted to that marvel of cam- pus existence - the money machine. Alas, certain money machines also decided to remember those who served in the wars of yesteryear, and yesterday they refused to serve up any cash. The*Ann Arbor Bank and Trust machine on Liberty Street proudly displayed the message, "Tem- porarily out of order, please do not use." But the National Bank and Trust Company was a little more severe. After its I Student Directory seems to be a fitting portrayal of the situation.
