schedule include free bowling and
billiards, a magic act, and the Friends
Road Show, which is a comedy act.
Sororities and fraternities are spon-
soring carnival games.
"IT'S GOOD publicity for their
houses, while they're helping us out,"
explained Lebow.
Admission to Michigras '79 requires
$1 and a student identification card.
The Union Programming Committee,
which is part of UAC, has hired security
officers to keep watch over the
festivities, and will also have some of
its own members "roving around," said
Lebow. "We don't anticipate any
problems."
LEBOW ESTIMATED that 200 people
have been involved in organizing
Michigras '79, including Alan Lewitz,
Mike Roarty, and John Dennistion, who
worked directly under Lebow and were
responsible for much of coordination of,
work. Lebow said all the volunteers
"have done an amazing job."
"Michigras is the biggest thing our
committee does all year," said Lebow.
The event is funded through money
alloted for the Union Organizing Com-
mittee by UAC. "Part of our goal is to
make the Union an active student cen-
ter. It (Michigras) will give students a
chance to celebrate their newly acquire
building."

MEMBERS OF THE Ann Arbor Committee for Human Rights in Latin America
marched outside the Federal Building yesterday to show support for Hector
Marroquin, who is attempting to get political asylum in the U.S.

Sfor ac tvist,
By ADRIENNE LYONS
Some 15 members of the Ann Arbor
Committee for Human Rights in Latin
America marched in' front of the
Federal Building yesterday, protesting
the denial of political asylum for
political activist Hector Marroquin.
Marroquin fled from Mexico to the
United States in 1974. Reportedly he
was falsely accused of criminal and
terrorist actions in Mexico, and
requested asylum in this country in
September 1977, according to commit-
tee member Howie Brick.
ACCORDING TO Brick, the Im-
migration and Naturalization Service
(INS) denied Marroquin's request
because Marroquin hasn't proved that
he would be persecuted in Mexico for
his political beliefs.
"Mexico is. an ally and it's em-
barrassing for the U.S. to admit that an
ally (is repressive)," Brick said.
"It's important for Marroquin to be
given asylum to set a precedent (in the
U.S.)," Brick added. "If he returns to
Mexico, he'll be in danger of death or
torture."
BRICK SAID the main purpose of the
demonstration was to "publicize the
case further. We want people to be
careful Qf Jimmy Carter's claims of
human rights, We think the (im-
migration policy of the U.S.) is selec-
tive and therefore hypocritical."

's

asylum

The small group of marchers carried
signs which read: "Deny support for
Mexican Government Repression."
The group half-heartedly chanted,
"Hector, si, Migra, no," which means
in Spanish, "Hector yes, immigration,
or border patrol, no."
Brick stressed that the issue "deals
with the problems of all undocumented
workers," or illegal aliens. He said that
a campaign has begun blaming those
workers for the country's economic
problems. "We call for the stopping of
deportation (of all undocumented
workers)," Brick said. "These are
people who are victimized themselves
by the U.S. government and U.S. cor-
porations."
Another protester, Mar.y Hendriksen,
agreed with Brick. "The U.S. military
and the Latin American military are
too cosy," she declared. "U.S. cor-
porations are supporting repressive
regimes by taking money out of (Latin
American) countries and making con-
ditions worse."

"After shopping around,
a friend of mine--who is quite an

there was no 'Buy Now'

the right hifi components can make.
" I'm really satisfied with my

to Absolute Sound and bought an
