Irish Spring
The First Annual St. Patrick's Day parade is still scheduled to run
rampant along Ann Arbor streets today but the green day march may
not turn out quite as expected. Sean McDoogle, parade organizer, said the
course of the parade was switched from Main Street to the campus
area because many downtown businesses did not want traffic to be
congested on the usual spend-happy Saturday. The marchers intend to
mingle with the traffic on a campus route beginning at the Physics and
Astronomy Building on E. University at 1 p.m. After a free-spirited
march down S. University and S. State, the 30 or so lads and lassies
will have a grand toasting finale on the Diag. B'gosh and Begora !
Co uzens fire
A small fire yesterday morning in a sixth floor heating radiator in
Couzens Hall forced the evacuation of about 200 students, according to
University officials. The fire, believed to have been started by a
cigarette or a match, did not result in any injuries, said Couzens
Building Director James Asberry. Fire officials believe the fire, which
started just after 5 a.m., was not arson-related, Asberry said. The fire
was reported after a Couzens resident smelled smoke and notified
dorm security. An unidentified student pulled the fire alarm and
phoned the fire department causing the .evacuation, Asberry said.
Minor damage to the radiator cabinet was reported.
Paging Dr. Peters'on
Not long ago, there was a crank caller who posed as a doctor and en-
couraged women over the phone to examine themselves for breast
cancer. Now, Ann Arbor has its own crank doctor who gets his thrills
another way-by phoning women and telling them their husbands
have VD. So far, about 30 to 50 women have fallen victim to the caller,
according to local police and health officials. In all of the reported
cases, not one of the husbands had VD, officials said. Most of the time,
the prankster identified himself as "Dr. Peterson" from the
Washtenaw County Health Department. There is no Dr. Peterson at
theclinic, officials said. Although the faithful husbands were able to
talk themselves out of the mess, the caller caused several frightening
moments for two of the women who were pregnant. Marcus Welby,
M.D. was never like this.
Take ten
On St. Pat's Day ten years ago, the polls opened for a student gover-
nment election and a referendum on the Literary College language
requirement, sponsored by the government. The referendum asked:
"Should the language requirement be abolished?" Although all
students could vote on the referendum, the votes of LSA students were
counted separately. The college, however, was not involved in the
referendum and did not see the vote as binding in any way.

PERFORMANCES
Iran observers disagree on
popularity of Khomeini regime
By WILLIAM THOMPSON
Iranians are united in their support of
Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic regime,
says a University Iranian student group
representative. However, a visiting
American expert on Iran who has just
returned from the turbulent country,
said yesterday in a separate interview
that he found widespread discontent.
"The Khomeini government is a
progressive government that the people
have brought," said Reza, University
head of the Organization of Iranian
Moslem Students. "There is no doubt
that the people want Islamic gover-
nment," he said.
HOWEVEIR, the expert, who wishes
to remain unidentified, said the country
is not united behind Khomeini. "There
is a greater range of opinion than what
is presented," he said. "A lot of people
who opposed the Shah united under the
name of Khomeini as a symbol because
of his uncompromising stand against
the Shah.
"I just spoke with someone in Iran
and the airport in Tehran is jammed
with people trying to get out," the ex-
pert continued. "It's been that way sin-
ce October."
Reza, however, maintains that most
Iranian students at the University will
be in Iran by the end of the term. "They
can go back now. They have a chance at
freedom."
"IRANIAN students are elated with
the revolution and the overthrow of the
Shah," the expert said. "But many are
not happy with what's going on."
According to the Associated Press,
the Khomeini regime has conducted a
series of purges since it took over and
Iranians linked with the Shah have been
executed without legal defense.
Reza defended the executions and
said the victims were officials of the
"Shah's secret police who killed people
and should be punished. The people
want to punish them to cut off all
relations to the previous government.
When you have somebody that you
know killed 1000 people, a bureaucratic
procedure wastes time," Reza said.
THE EXPERT links the executions to
the split in the Iranian government.
"It's an example of the fact that there is
a parallel government in Iran. They are
doing executions without approval from
the prime minister."
Supporters of the Islamic gover-
nment are not alarmed by the division.
"It's a transitional government," said
Reza. "Those who are on top are sup-
posed to arrange for a permanent
government. They are going to write
and prepare a Constitution and the
nation's congress for the base of a per-
manent government." .
that permanent government, accor-
ding to Reza, will be based on the
Islamic movement. "It was the Islam
movement which threw off the dynasty.
To make sure that the people want an
Islamic government we will have an
election, and the world will know it is
what the people want," Reza said.
THE AMERICAN, however, cited
other viewpoints which he said are
widely held in Iran. He warned that
continuing current Khomeini policies
could result in increased Marxist in-
fluence.
"Marxists are not a great force in
Iran," the expert said. "But if this thing
continues, Marxism will have greater
appeal to those opposed to the
repressive government of Khomeini
because Marxists are consistent in
their stand."
According to. wire service reports,
Iranians' objections to Khomeini's op-
pression has centered on the strict en-
forcement of Islamic rules of conduct.
The reports said women have staged
demonstrations in protest of
Khomeini's legal changes which
reduced women's rights.
MOSLEM supporters have defended
Khomeini's changes. "Islamic rule
should be applied during Islamic
government," maintained Reza. "The
government is trying to make people
change their minds about the rules. The
people were influenced against them
for 50 years by the (Shah's) Pehlavi
government."
"The Pehlavi regime has left the
country with no industry, no
agriculture and no culture," Reza con-
tinued. "The new government needs to
repair the damage, then build a new
government. An ideal government
takes time."
The American, however, said Iranian
students were unrealistic in their
analysis of Iran. He said that when he
has lectured on Iran, "Iranian students
were angry at the suggestion that there
was not universal acceptance of the
government in Iran."

, MADNESS
WASHINGTON (AP)-The govern-
ment overracted in shutting down five
nuclear power plants and subjecting as
many as 13 million East Coast residents
to possible higher electric bills, the
head of the firm which designed the
plants said yesterday.
William Allen Jr., board chairman of
Stone and Webster Engineering Corp.,
told a Senate hearing the government
could have determined whether the
plants were earthquake-proof without
ordering the shut-down.
HE SAID THE plants, located in
Maine, New York, Pennsylvania and
Virginia, pose no danger-and would
likely not fail even if an earthquake did
occur before required repairs can be
made.
The government ordered the plants
closed Tuesday, saying corrections
must be made on cooling pipes to make
sure they can withstand an earthquake.
Who will pay the cost of the shut-
downs, which officials say could last a
month or more?
ALLEN SAID he's been so busy
trying to comply with the government's
order that "I haven't had a single word
with anyone about liability."
But E. Ashby Baum, an official of the
Virginia Electric and Power Co., whose
power plants Surry I and Surry II at
Gravel Neck, Va., were among those
shut down, said the costs-at least for
additional oil-would be passed along to
consumers.
"If the present outage should drag on
beyond three weeks, then we will incur
huge additional fuel costs," he testified.
"The net replacement cost will be about
$11 million to $12 million per month."
In addition to the Surry plantsi others
ordered closed were Duquesne Power
Co.'s Beaver Valley Plant at Ship-
pingpoprt, Pa.; New York Power
Authority's James Fitzpatrick plant at
Scriba, N.Y.; and the Maine Yankee
plant owned jointly by 11 utilities.
