Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sunday, November 21, 1971 emonstrators mareh ARMS SALES POSSIBLE: Latin American nations cite interest in U.S. war surplus Demorstrtio lmrpc for .abortion law repeal RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (P)- The Latin - American countries visited last week by U.S. presiden- tial counselor Robert Finch are reported to have expressed interest in military material available aft- er the end of the Vietnam wai'. Finch is touring six Latin- American countries on a special mission for President Nixon, des- tined to formulate new U.S. poli- cies for Latin America. At the end of the trip, Finch will turn over policy recommendations to Nixon. The 46-year-old former secre- tary of health,.education and wel- fare already has visited Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil.. On Monday, after a weekend of rest in Rio, he flies to Honduras and later to Mexico, on the last leg of his 14-day trip. The major war surplus items of Latin-American interest have been trucks, helicopters, and C130 mul- tipurpose cargo planes,' which might become available as* the United States withdraws from South Vietnam. Last May, Nixon waived the SGC control of $1500 grant lost, AIIM says" U.S. self-imposed $75 million limit on arms sales to Latin Amer- ica and asked Congress to raise it to $150 million. The move apparently was mo- tivated by concern about Euro- pean arms and equipment sales- men, who have netted hundreds of millions of dollars through arms sales to Latin America in the last three years because of U.S. reluct- ance to be active in the market. All of the countries Finch has visited so far have made major military purchases in Western Europe recently, shunning the U.S. market. Brazil, Argentina, and Peru have ordered more than six Mir- age jets from France in the past few years. Arms sales agreements have been made or negotiated be- tween France and Argentina, Brazil, Fuador and Peru, and arms manufacturers from Britain, Italy, West Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have made pro- fits in Latin America. Although the main thrust of Finch's visit is aimed at sooth- ing the six Latin-American coun- tries in the trade and aid areas, the subject of military supplies came up in conversations at vari- ous levels during the trip of the 16-man delegation. Sales of military supplies would indirectly help the long suffering U.S. balance of payments, and provide relief to some worries of the Nixon administration about the political influence some Euro- pean countries have gained in Latin American through military sales. Finch is expected to make strong recommendations in this area to Nixon upon his return. (Continued from page 1) Throughout the rally, the New Haven Women's Liberation Rock Band - an all female group - played feminist songs, some writ- ten especially for yesterday's dem- onstration. Groups of women danced to the band throughout the afternoon. "The state of Florida is the criminal, not me," Wheeler told the crowd. "We must fight together to re- peal these laws, because I'd hate to see another of my sisters go through the living hell I did," she added. 'Wheeler is appealing her two- year probation sentence meted out last October on a manslaughter- abortion charge. She has said she intends to continue her appeal all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. "Never again will a Shirley Wheeler face a 20-year prison term for exercising her constitu- tional right to control her own body, "Catholic physician Roberts said. "Nov. 20," she added, "will go down in history because, for the first time, masses of women have gathered together to tell this gov- ernment in no uncertain terms that we will no longer tolerate laws that degrade, mutilate, and murder women." Roberts also spoke on the wom- en's movement. "Women's liberation," she said, "means learning that all women are sisters, not competitors." "It's not about becoming a her- mit in a commune and ignoring the suffering of your unliberated sisters, "and," she continued, "it is certainly not about wealthy and middle class women plotting to get classier and wealthier." "The time for women to control their bodies has come," she con- (Continued from page 1) SGC members, he claims, were putting pressure on. ARM to set- tle the growing controversy which he says they felt would be dis- ruptive to the election. To SGC sources, however, the question remains unclear and the body, according to council mem- ber. Joel Silverstein "is in a posi- tion of not knowing what's going on." SGC members were taken by surprise by DePue's announcement as they had believed the funds would be forthcoming. Administrative Vice - President Jay Hack, said last night he "did- n't know" what the unit could or should do about the development. Others expressed doubt over whether the situation was as De- Pue had portrayed it. The $1500 appropriation had, according to council sources, been originally in the hands of ARM, obstensibly to purchase equip- ment for the co-op in Chicago. According to Silverstein, SGC has "no way of knowing" whether funds voted by the co-op board to go to WCBEDL even in fact were transferred to that group. One source close to the council speculated that the money, in fact, was still in the hands of ARM, de- spite the contention of DePue and Thomas to the contrary. There also is a question over whether the action of the print co-op in granting f u n d s to WCBEDL was legal. Under the original terms of the SGC grant to the student co-op, the funds were to be used to es- tablish a co-op to participate in Rent your Roommate with a Classified Ad the "operation and direction of the Washtenaw County Print Co-op." Whether the grant to a autono- mous county co-op is legal there- fore, is unclear. DePue said last night he felt the student co-op's actions were "clearly within the spirit of the original SGC motion." Others, however, are less clear, and Hack said last night he was uncertain whether the grant was legal or not. He added that he thought SGC should retrieve the money and decide for itself whether or not to grant it to WCBEDL. Although future actions of SGC remain unclear, it appears that the matter will be investigated, and an attempt to retrieve the funds may be made. cluded, "and no government, no Catholic church, no army will stop us." Messages from feminist groups in Italy, Canada, New Zealand, and England, as well as American feminists Gloria Steinem, Mary Travers, and Rep. Bella Abzug (D - N. Y.) were relayed to the crowd through WONAAC organiz- ers. Throughout the rally, scattered capital police perched themselves on the Capitol steps above the gathering. There were no women officers. At one point, a speech was in- terrupted by a woman who de- manded that male photographers leave the stage area. Over half the photographers present were male. Reporters for the broadcast media appeared to be predominately male, but many of the printing media reporters were women. WONAAC had invited men to participate in the march and rally and to work in support of WONAAC's goals. Detroit WONAAC leader Cole- man said black women, "are not going to take second place to any- one." .She called present legisla- tion, "which keeps welfare moth- ers from easily obtaining abor- tions," "colonial racism" and add- ed that "4,000 black women die each year from illegal abortions." "We are not going to be the breeders," she concluded. "We're going to be the leaders." Another black feminist, NWRO leader Saunders, said that many black women were hesitant to par- ticipate in activities such as the demonstration. Some black women are distrustful of groups like WO- NAAC, she explained, because "they feel they're being used." "I've been attending demon- strations since 1963, and this is the best one I've been to," said Carole Evans, an organizer of last spring's Mayday war protest, who faces indictment for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury about the protests. Evans blasted what she called the protectors of American wom- anhood", like Sen. Barry Gold- water, (R-Ariz.) who opposed ex- tending the draft to women, as would be possible under the pro- posed Equal Rights Amendment. "We have enough trouble al- ready with women without giving them M-16 rifles," Evans quoted him as saying. "President Nixon is proud of the woman who holds the hand of the men who hold the power," Evans continued. To the predominately male fed- eral legislators and the all-male Supreme Court, Evans admonish- ed "get out of our lives, get out of our wombs, and then get out of our way," DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ?.possible4after.Mar.:: ..

He has also been active on a number of other LSA and Uni- versity committees and last Feb- ruary he authored an extensive initial report on the literary col- lege's Bachelor in General Stu- dies Degree. Morris says that generally in a university community, there is often a gap between the plan- ning of innovations and their implementation. "I think there is general agreement that many changes at the college and the University are necessary," he says. "But the key is how do you specifical- ly go about getting these chang- es - how do you implement all these plans?" Morris says it is possible for small groups of literary college faculty and students to experi- ment with new programns, but explains "there is a substantial difference between permitting experimentation in education, and actively encouraging it." "Even the Residential College has not been as innovative as it might have been," he continues. "I think we must find out why." "I am concerned that we have not been able to formulate an environment that does not sim- ply per.mit, but actively encour- ages innovation," Morris says. "I'm particularly concerned in the area of counseling." Morris says the counseling here has not been adequate in any of its "presumed purposes." "Whether the counselor is seen as a 'permission-granter', 'father-figure' or 'information clerk', there is great room for improvement." he says. "There are a lot of people around the country writing and thinking about counseling pro- grams and there is a lot of dis- satisfaction with the program here. It is unfortunate that the two never seem to meet." Although he has not yet as- sumed his new post, Morris went before the Administrative Board Friday to ask that the board undertake a broad study of LSA counseling. Morris wants the administra- tive board to be the core for substantial input to create a counseling program suitable to students, faculty members, and administrators. "There are some universities of comparable size to Michigan that do have highly effective counseling programs," Morris says. "Hopefully, we can revalu- ate, revitalize, and reconceptua- lize our program here to make it highly effective." Morris became a faculty mem- ber here in 1965. He received a BA from Yale and an MA and PhD from the University of Illi- nois. He was promoted to asso- ciate professor of psychology last spring. In 1968, he received the Uni- versity's Distinguished Service Award. He is a member of the American Psychological Associa- tion and belongs to several hon- orary societies. i Nothing's happening, right? Just a lot of useless reading to do. Well DO something!
