VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
Crisis line training starts

By HOWARD WITT
Volunteer training sessions are now
beginning for the SOS Crisis Center, a
phone and walk-in counseling and
referral service based in Ypsilanti.
The crisis line, which has been
operating continuously since 1971, last
year received close to 7000 calls from
the Washtenaw County area.
IN ADDITION to counseling drug,
runaway, and alcohol problems, the
center also helps with food and housing
difficulties as well as domestic violence
situations. "We can even help find a
place to just crash," said Ronda Lin-
dholm, an employee at the center.
"People get the impression that this
is a drug problem center, or that they
have to have a major crisis to call, but

many times people call just to talk,"
Lindholm added.
The center is unique in that it staffs a
mobile "on-call" team, which responds
to a variety of calls for help.
One woman, for example, called to
report a neighbor who was screaming
.hysterically. When the on-call team
arrived at the given address, there was
no person visible. It was almost ac-
cidentally that the team found the
woman, who was then unconscious
from a drug overdose, several doors
away-someone screamed for help as
they were leaving.
CONFIDENTIALITY IS stressed by
Lindholm, who explained that the cen-
ter is not required to report any infor-
mation to police or other authorities.
The center offers three volunteer

training sessions during the year.
Prospective volunteers for the first
session, which begins February 2 with
an "empathy training weekend," are
being interviewed until January 22.
Volunteers will undergo a total of 65
hours of training during February, and
will complete an internship period
during March.
The SOS Crisis Center is located in
Ypsilanti at 114 N. River St. All calls
are taken at 485-3222.

(Continued from Page 1)
THE DOCUMENT also called for
closer ties between the University and
its constituents, claiming that greater
support - primarily financial - may
help relieve the expected economic
bite.
"Maintaining and expanding the
University's financial resources is a
critical need," the report states. It
suggests concentrating primarily on
private institutions for help.
Johnson said his committee is
presently working on a statement of
qualifications the new University
president should have, though he
wouldn't speculate on its date of com-
pletion.
REGENT Robert Nederlander (D-
Birmingham) said he couldn't remem-
ber the contents of the alumni needs
statement, but he added that it brought
up many of the same questions as the
faculty report.
"They are a little different, but they
both point to the fact that the University
will have financial problems in the next
decade," Nederlander said.
The Regents will also be formulating
a list of qualifications for the next
president, though its completion date is
unknown.

Teng wani
From Reuter and AP Reports
PEKING - Vice Premier Teng
Hsiao-ping was quoted yesterday as
urging the United States to expand its
naval strength in the Pacific to offset
the growth of Soviet naval and air- for-
ces in the area. '
He also called for beefed-up military
preparedness in Japan and possible
cooperation among the Southeast Asian
nations of Thailand, the Philippines,
Indonesia and Singapore for defense
against what he views as a Soviet
threat.
THE 74-YEAR-OLD Teng, China's
army chief of staff, met for two hours
with four U.S. senators studying the
military situation in the Pacific. He told
them he is more concerned with Soviet
activities in the Pacific than with the

Ls stronger
million Russian troops on the China-
Soviet borders, they said.
Sen. Sam Nunn, (D-Ga.), chairman of
the senatorial task force, told a news
conference afterwards that China does
not view Soviet ground forces in the Far
East "as large enough to undertake a
massive, decisive invasion of China."
Sen. John Glennr.(D-Ohio), said that
Teng told the senators that to be suc-
cessful, a Soviet invasion would require
between four and five million soldiers.
Teng reportedly added that the prin-
cipal focus of Soviet military power is
in Europe and the Middle East.
THE SENATORS added that Mr.
Teng reaffirmed in yesterday's
meeting that China wanted a peaceful
reunification with Taiwan.
But the possibility of the use of force

U.S. Navy
was not renounced "in the belief that
such a renunciation would reduce the
prospects for Taiwan entering into
serious negotiations," the senators'
statement added.
"THE CIRCUMSTANCES where for-
ce might be used include: one, an in-
definite refusal by Taiwan to enter into
negotiations and, two, an attempt by
the Soviet Union to interfere in
Taiwanese affairs. This latter
possibility, however, is regarded as
highly unlikely."
Since the United States and China
normalized diplomatic relations on
January 1, China has made several of-
fers to Taipei for negotiations, but all
have been rejected by the Taiwan
government.

reports that the ousted regime received
MiGs from China.
SPK, THE official news agency of the
new government, said thousands of buf-
falo carts were taking the villagers,
their children and belongings back to
their homes in northeastern Kampong
Cham Province.
The report from Phnom Penh said
rebel military units were helping the

The Pol Pot government emptied
Cambodia's cities and villages and for-
ced most Cambodians into communal
farms following the Khmer Rouge
Communist victory over the U.S.-
backed Lon Nol government in 1975.
OBSERVERS estimate a million or
more persons were executed or died of
hunger, exhaustion and disease during
the forced evacuation. The fall of the
regime did not appear to sadden 7,000
Cambodian refugees who fled to camps
in Thailand after 1975.
"Tell the Thai authorities to bring Pol
Pot to us at the camp," one refugee told
a reporter in Thailand. "We'll make
him into fermented fish sauce."
The new government promised to
UOEM

w

restore democratic rights, reinstate
Buddhism, and move toward "peace,
freedom, non-alignment and
socialism," but the refugees said they
were uncertain about Cambodia's
future.
A THAI military spokesman said that
more than 600 Chinese diplomats and
advisers had crossed overland into
Thailand, and that others were believed
to have been evacuated directly to
China by sea and air. ;
Thai Foreign Minister Updit Pachari-
yangul said an additional 600 Chinese
were expected today. He said they all
would be flown out of the former U.S.
air base at Utapao aboard Chinese
Boeing 797s.
Many of an estimated 20,000 Chinese,
advisers still are believed in Cambodia.
Diplomats from North Korea,
Romania, Egypt, Yugoslavia and Bur-
ma also arrived in the Thai border town
of Aranya Prathet, the military

spokesman said.
CHINA HAS promised to aid the
deposed leaders in their fight, but
Sihanouk told reporters in Peking on
Monday that Chinese Vice Premier
Teng Hsaio-ping said he would not sup-
ply troops.
"We plan to lead a popular war, a
guerilla war through many years if we
have to," he said as he traveled to New
York to appeal to the U.N. Security
Council to aid the ousted government.
The new provisional government, in a
message relayed by Vietnam's U.N.
Mission, told the Security Council the
former regime. had "ceased to exist"
and a U.N. Meeting on Cambodia would
be "flagrant intervention" in Cam-
bodia's internal affairs.
An estimated 150 million Americans
were covered by life insurance with
legal reserve companies in 1977, accor-
ding to the American Council of Life In-
surance.

EASY LIVING
A free-wheeling, delightful, light-hearted 1930's comedy, written by the master
of such comedies, Preston Sturges. It all starts when millionaire Edward Arnold
throws his wife's mink coat out the window and it lands on working girl Jean
Arthur. Featuring automated luneonettes going crazy and a fine performance
by a young Ray Milland. This is the best comedy, (along with Sturges' own Sul-
livan's Travels) about the depression ever made. Short: SKIP THE MALOO,
Charley Chase plays follow-the-leader.
