Syria slams U.S. effort By CHARLES THOMSON What will historians have to say about the goings-on in Ann Arbor during the last decade? Within a generation the libraries will stock both the seminal and revisionist books, the conservative together with the radical viewpoints of the protests and the protesters. But now, after only a decade, local historians and librarians are just clearing the way by preserving memorabilia and information relating to campus activism. HEADING THE effort are Ann Arbor historians Bret Eynon and Ellen Fish- man, who as co-directors of the Progressive Research and Education Project, have recorded over 100 inter- views with those involved in the Ann Arbor movement. Eynon recently was able to inspire former activists John and Leni Sinclair to donate their entire collection of keep- sakes and radical literature to the University's Bentley Library, whose directors seem eager for sixties materials. Eynon is convinced that Ann Arbor played a major role in the sixties ac- tivist movement. "Ann Arbor was one of the absolutely key places in the six- ties," said Eynon. "If you have to name three places it would probably be Columbia, here, and Berkeley. And in terms of an intellectual center, Ann Ar- bor was probably the most impor- tant-the sixties was an historical event, a turning point in world history was reached," Eynon said. Eynon andFishman expect to finish a booklet about the radical student movement in Ann Arbor this fall. When completed, the booklet may be the first to deal specifically with Ann Arbor events during the period. Eynon, who expects the book to run between 75 and 100 pages, said he thinks it will be used as an introductory text for future cour- ses concerning the movement.

With a total of 1,600 applicants, the University's Law and Medical Schools attract more students than any other school in the country. Getting into Law and Med. Schools costl about it in By BETH PERSKY An effort to preserve information on past and present radical movements, both within Ann Arbor and nationwide, will begin tomorrow, with the opening of a radical library at Guild House. The library, in a campus ministry located at 802 Monroe St., is the result of a drive by the People's Action Coalition (PAC) of Literary College Student Government (LSA-SG) to collect and centralize information on grass roots organizations, women's. issues, civil liberties, and government spending, spying, and government sur- veillance. "WE CAN TELL students where to go to find out what issues are hot on cam- pus, and where to get involved in those particular groups," said Heidi Got- tfr.dxlAeader of PAC. Gottfried also talked about the significance of the library as both a research tool and a meeting place. library "The use of the library is to inter-link groups together,-so people know that these are not isolated from each other, but are very much inter-related." She also mentioned that it is convenient to have a location that groups can identify as a central location to find out about activist groups from other areas. Gottfried believes that the institution of the library is a very big part of what she considers to be a resurgence of student activism. "IN THE 70'S there was a movement for organizations to form broad base coalitions," she said. "Part of this is letting the groups on campus know who each other are. An important part of the seventies movement has been more coalition building. The library can ser- ve a purpose of letting the groups know who each other are, and working together on different issues." "I think it's really important to make See AND, Page 5 By The Associated Press A high-level U.S. delegation opened a Mideast tour yesterday to try to cool Arab tempers over the American- inspired Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, but an angry Syria said the only way to deal with the challenge might be war. "There is no other choice. . . but the armed choice," the official Syrian newspaper Tishrin declared. THE U.S. team, including National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and President Carter's son Chip, arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, yesterday to try to win the backing of King Khaled, or at least to mute Saudi criticism of the Egypt-Israel pact and head off Saudi economic retaliation against Egypt. There was no immediate word on the outcome of the meeting. Damascus radio claimed, however, that the Saudis last week threatened to cut off $1 billion in annual economic aid to Egypt if -President Anwar Sadat signs the separate peace with Israel. AN EGYPTIAN Foreign Ministry spokesman in Cairo denied that report. There was no official Saudi comment. In a Newsweek magazine interview yesterday, however, Saudi Crown Prin- ce Fahd indicated his country would not cut off aid to Cairo, saying Saudi Arabia is "deeply concerned about the welfare of all Arab countries and this will con- tinue to be the case in the future." In related developments yesterday: " In the Old City of Jerusalem, Arabs and Jews clashed violently when a group of religious Jewish students tried to force their way onto the Holy Temple Mount, which is holy to Moslems and Jews. No serious injuries were repor- ted. Four Arabs and five Jews were arrested. Authorities discourage Jews from entering the site because of possible confrontations with Moslems; * In Jordan, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who told a Beirut magazine "the whole Middle East will explode if Sadat signs the pact," met, with King Hussein of Jordan. It was only Arafat's second trip to Jordan sin- ce Hussein expelled Palestinian guerrillas from his country in 1970. In a surprisingly mild joint statement issued after the meeting, both said they would resist "all attempts to liquidate the legitimate rights of Palestinians." " Egyptian Defense Minister Kamal Hasan Ali departed for Washington to join Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman in ironing out details of the military addendum to the peace treaty, including a timetable for withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Sinai Peninsula. The Syrian newspaper editorial said Egypt "has been isolated from the Arab world ... Washington wants to drag Jordan, Syria and Iraq to follow behind the Egyptian president, and if not, to force them to do so by means of an Israeli aggression." Brzezinski was scheduled to visit Amman, Jordan, today, where he will try to persuade Hussein to reconsider his opposition to the treaty and to agree to participate in setting up Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip under terms of the U.S.-sponsored agreement. By JERRY LEHRMAN Acceptance into professional school no longer appears to depend solely - if it ever did - on good grades, test scores, and references. It takes cash. Of the University's 1,600 Law and Meidcal schools' applicants - the highest number at any college in the country - only a little more than 50 per cent will be ac- cepted. The fate of these students may be influenced largely by the amount of money each has to lavish on the application process. ONE LITERARY College (LSA) senior, who asked to remain anonymous, estimated he spent between $2,000 and $3,000 applying to medical school this year. The competition begins with professional aptitude tests - the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) or the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Though many students take a test only once, a significant num- ber feel it is worth it - at $35 a throw for each additional test - to retake the exam and try to im- prove their scores, according to the University Office of Career Planning and Placement. MANY STUDENTS up their scores the second time around, but some schools recognize only marked improvementon the retake. The University Law School, for instance, will average the total test scores in cases where the improvement is See LAW, Page 12 i - - I MALE VISITA TION RESTRIC TED: - & s r...1 . Cook tightens rules * 'v" '19. AFS CME empl oyees to negotiate fwithunion By RON GIFFORD At a special meeting this afternoon, members of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Em- ployees (AFSCME) Local 1583 will be asked by the union leadership to extend the terms of their present contract, slated to expire Tuesday. The union, which represents over 2,100 campus service personnel, has been negotiating a new contract with the University bargaining team for six weeks. Full agreement on these new terms has not been reached, but union 'bargaining Chairman Art Anderson said the talks are "going very smoothly up to this point." ANDERSON AND Union President Dwight Newman will present a recom- mendation today to the local member- ship asking for approval of an extension of the contract. According to Anderson, "We have a responsible membership, and I'm very optimistic they'll follow our recommendation" to extend the terms of the present agreement. The union leaders will also be giving a full report on the union's present bargaining situation with the Univer- sity, Anderson said. He declined com- menting on that situation until he could first present it to the union. See AFSCME, Page 2 By PATRICIA HAGEN Male visitors to the Martha Cook Building will be evicted by University security guards next September if found on the premises after visitation hours without permission, according to a ruling earlier this month by the Board of Governors of the women's residence hall. The hall's current visitation policy dictates men may only occupy the womens' bedrooms during specified hours, but that they can visit on the main and basement floors of the building 24 hours a day. The Board of Governors extended the upper floor visitation hours for September at the request of the hall's residents, but, to the students' surprise, at the same time reduced the number of hours men will be allowed on the main floors. ONE RESIDENT, who asked not to be identified for fear she would be "kicked out" of the dorm, said "if this goes through, next year will be a farce. People are just panicking. There is nothing we can do. Their (the gover- nors') next meeting isn't for a month, and people will be too scared not to sign leases." The Board of Governors had agreed to a trial extension of male visitation hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed- nesday evenings from 7 to 11 p.m. This is in addition to the established hours: Thursday from 7 to 11 p.m., Friday from 12 to 1 a.m., Saturday from 12 to 1:30 a.m., and Sunday from 12 to 12 a.m. During these periods men are allowed anywhere in the building, in- cluding the upper floors, if escorted by a resident. "They gave us what we wanted, but at the same time cut out our basement and first floor privileges," complained the anonymous resident. One reason Board members offered for their decision is security. Chairwoman Ann Cook, great niece of the hall's founder, William Cook, said there have been 'unescorted men in the building" and cited several incidents in which the hall has been broken into and property damaged. THE 60-YEAR-OLD Martha Cook Building, which houses 153 women, is currently the only University residence hall that does not have unrestricted visitation hours. The dormitory is known around campus for its beautiful architecture, established rituals, and special services - such as complemen- tary linen and sit-down dinners - as well as its nickname "the virgin vault." One resident representing the studen- ts' House Board has written a letter to the governors asking for clarification of the new rule. The students wanted to know whether the term "male" in- cludes building employees, security guards, and relatives, as well as dates and male friends. Another point of con- fusion is an amendment that was added to the ruling earlier this month stating that special permission may be granted by the building director to allow males into the dormitory "for particular oc- currences." By taking action now, says one resident, the students hope to "inform new women and make them realize how See M.

Read tho Today Column, Pago.3 in St. Pat's By JULIE BROWN Irish eyes were smiling on campus yesterday, as exuberant celebrants took to the wearing of the green and participated in other St. Patrick's Day festivities.' A group of about 30 students marchedj in the first annual St. Patrick's Day parade. This event, which consisted of a spirited promenade down E. Univer- sity, S.

Mc- Doogle explained that "I come from Cleveland, and we always have St. Patrick's parades there." The parade-goers, who carried several green, white, and orange flags, formed a circle on the Diag and belted out Irish classics, including the ever- popular "A Pub With No Beer." The singers were holding Xeroxed copies of "The Guinness Book of Irish Ballads,"' although most appeared to have little trouble remembering the words. :..
