1 The Michigqn Daily-Soturday, March 17, 1979-Page 3 ;YMU SEE ' S MCAOL k)AY 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."

TUESDAY: Disney's SILLY SYMPHONIES, Three Stooges Shorts. a REEFER , 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.
