The Michigan Daily-Friday, March 16, 1979-Page 3 it )YUSEE ENIE4 UKPPEN CDLL ZD4j.Y Inflation and space Facing the possibility that our country's astronomical inflation rate may be eroding future space exploration, University Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Department and noted scientist Dr. Thomas Donahue is urging his colleagues to start "beating the drum" to save the space program in the name of inflation. Donahue, a member of the research teams working on the Pioneer-Venus and Voyager projects, said he fears the space program could be a major victim of government spen- ding cuts. "There are no new starts in fiscal 1980 in the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) budget," he said. "This is only the second time that's happened since NASA started. I think we who are doing the work in space science should be out beating the drum and making a lot more fuss about the impact of the economy on the space program." Donahue said the space program has "an image problem" but he added that the problem is not based on waning public interest. He cited the sustained popularity of science-fiction- movies as evidence that the public is intrigued by "what's out there." Quick, Someone call NBC When someone says Olympics, most people think of track and field, swimming, or skiing. But a group of die-hards at Couzens Hall are starting a new event-the first annual pinball olympics. Members of the group are so devoted to the hobby that they feel ready for com- petition, and, finding none, have decided to create their own. The event is scheduled to take place at 3 a.m. Saturday, because that is the only time the group could be assured of, access to the dorm's machines. Engineering Freshwoman Ingrid Klove has been designated "Miss Pinball" and will present the medals (each representing a quarter) to the winning teams. A spokesman for the event did not say whether the winner would be invited to Lake Placid or Moscow. Take ten The Black Students Union (BSU), in a letter presented to then University President Robben Fleming on March 16, 1969, called for the suspension of publication of The Daily pending a proposed in- vestigation of its editorial policies. The request came principally in response to endorsements of Student Government Council candidates made by senior editors that week. The editors had listed Council can- didateDarrylGorman, a black student, as "unacceptable" for an SGC at-large seat. BSU members attacked the "undemocratic" nature of the Daily's editorial policy and claimed the paper had misrepresented BSU actions. A Daily editor said that the paper cannot reflect the views of all students.

Pass the popcorn, junior It was commonly believed that "dirty old men" comprised the majority of the audiences at porno flicks. But recent studies at Drexel University and the University of Maryland have proved this belief in- correct. According to the studies, the majority of male porn theater frequenters are 21 years-old or less, well-educated, and married. One might assume that if they weren't well-educated when they went in, they certainly were when they left! Greenpeace: One seal saved is success ST. ANTHONY, Newfoundland (Reuter) - Seven members of the Greenpeace Foundation protesting against this year's seal hunt began leaving here yesterday, claiming modest success - they saved the life of one baby seal. Wednesday Greenpeace member Ed Chavies flew to the ice floes off the Labrador coast where hunters are killing seals at the rate of 10,000 a day and marked one pup with green dye to make it worthless to the hunters. "IT'S LIKE A shipwreck. If you save one crew member, it makes it all wor- thwhile," Greenpeace spokesman John Frizell said yesterday in summing up this year's protest actions. Detroit-area seal supporters have scheduled a "save the seals" rally for today at noon in Kennedy Square. Ann Arbor Greenpeace has arranged for bus transportation to the rally leaving at 10:45 a.m. from the Michigan Union. where the hunt is so heavily protected that the kind of things we are doing are becoming impossible," he said. Last week in a separate area of the hunt, members of the New York-based Fund for Animals managed to spray dye on about 250 seal pups under cover of darkness before they were arrested. But scores of thousands of seals remained to be killed. Protesters say they know they cannot physically disrupt the hunt, but they hope their ac- tions will mobilise opinion in favor of their cause. f GREENPEACE is switching the focus of its campaign away from the hunt and towards persuading people not to buytthe furs, Frizell said. Another change in approach is that Greenpeace no longer claims that the seals are in danger of imminent extin- ction because of the hunt, he said. However, Greenpeace disputes the Canadian government's claim that the quotas set for the hunt each year allow for a slow growth in the seal population. NOT ENOUGH is known about the seal's complicated life cycle to allow "safe" quotas to be set, conservation groups argue. Frizell said Green- peace's main objection to the hunt was that it was a "visible symbol that man cannot live in harmony with fellow creatures." A bizarre feature of this year's cam- paign has been the appearance of a spoof protest group called Codpeace that has poked fun at Greenpeace by advocating that codfish should be protected from the "savage" seal. A Codpeace member, Clarence But- ton, flew to the hunt yesterday where he appeared on the ice wearing a tuxedo and top hat and carrying a rolled um- brella. Aside from the humor, Codpeace argues that Greenpeace pays too much attention to one animal, the seal, at the expense of other creatures.

We have to start somewhere." 0 I ** * * ** * ** * STEVE'S LUNCH * We Serve Breakfast All Day * Try Our Famous 3 Egg Omelet * ..* with your choice of fresh bean sprouts, mushrooms,* green peppers, onion, ham, bacon, and cheese.

FOR EXAMPLE, a permit to visit the hunt was given -only to Chavies, and that permit was revoked immediately when he applied the dye to the fur of the seal pup. Greenpeace did not want to break the law further, and Chavies flew back to Greenpeace's temporary headquarters in this small community on the nor- thern tip of Newfoundland. Frizell noted that Mr. Chavies was escorted by two federal government of- ficials the whole time he was on the ice. Police and other officials were also standing by in case of trouble.
