According to U.S. Rep. Carl Pur- sell, (R-Mich.) the federal Energy Research and Deyelopment Admin- istration (ERDA) will allocate $200,- 000 for the first year of the Midwest Program for Solar Energy Metrolog- ical Research, and funds for the sub- sequent years are expected to be ap- propriated. In addition, the Univer- sity will contribute $9,108 of its own funds for the program. HEADED BY Donald Portman, professor of. atmospheric sciences, who submitted the winning proposal, the program will be centered in the Space-Physics Research building on original-score from STAR WARS recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra 5.98 value Centicore price 2.98 Centieore Book Store 336 MAYNARD 1229 S. UNIVERSITY North Campus. According to Portman, the re- search will involve measuring the amount of solar energy received at different points in the region at vari- ous times in the year. "The purpose of the research is to design efficient solar collectors," Portman said. He added that in the future it may be possible to build solar heating and cooling devices under the program. THE TRAINING portion of the program will be especially beneficial to students, since it will create new learning opportunities. "It will establish new courses in the degree program dealing with the study and measure of solar radia- tion," Portman said. Short, technical courses will be established for spe- cial students, he added. THE RESEARCH program is ex- pected to begin in October, but the training portion will begin next year, Pursell said. Pursell said he considered the ERDA grant to be one of the best grants in the country. The new program can't help but strengthen the University's science department, he added. "It's one of the most meritorious grants," Pursell said. He believes there will be more grants in store for the University, he said. "THERE WAS TOUGH, tough, com- petition and we came out on top," he said. "ERDA believed we were in thew (country's) top 15 in our science de- partment and now we may be moving to the top five."k The center will service the mid-I west region, which includes Michi-: gan, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Nebras- ka, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, according to Portman. No other university in Michigan: was considered for the grant. The country was divided into eight: regions for the program, with $200,- 000 awarded to winning universities: in each region. 1,200 South African students arrested during Biko *0 BEA TDU KE BEER SPECIALS 7 BEERS ON SPECIAL THIS WEEKEND BEER IN THE BARREL WE ACCEPT ALL RETURNABLE BOTTLES AGAINST ANY PURCHASE Check out our imported and domestic meats and cheeses, organic fruits and vegetables, natural syrups, honey, peanut butter. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Riot police with dogs arrested 1,200 students at the black university of Fort Hare yesterday to block a memorial service for Steve Biko, the black leader who died after a hunger strike in a prison hospital. The service was the first of several planned by white students, black na- tionalists and churchmen across South Africa in a wave of anger at the death of the 30-year-old activist, Agood spot for a cozy rendezvous after class, after the theater, after work... after anything. described by one newspaper as "perhaps the most important black leader in South Africa." THE PROTESTS were fueled by questions as to whether the Prisons Department had made any effort to save Biko's life. A spokesman for Fort Hare Uni- versity, 350 miles south of here, said the white principal had turned down a request from the students to suspend lectures for the service. But the students went ahead and gathered on the rugby field, singing black nationalist songs. They were quickly surrounded by police. OFFERING NOresistance, the stu- dents were shepherded to a grand- stand and taken away in police vehicles. Witnesses said students made black power salutes as they were led away but they reported no violence. Officials said the' students were detained under the Riotous Assem- blies Act, which requires official permission for most public gather- ings of more than three people. Biko, the-30-year-old founder of the black consciousness movement in South Africa, died Monday after what the government said was an eight-day hunger strike. He had been detained three weeks earlier, and was the 21st black to die in police custody in 18 months. AT A PROTEST meeting at the almost all-white University of Cape Town, liber-al newspaper editor Don- ald Woods called on -Prisons Minister James Kruger to resign if inquest nemorial findings showed that his department had not done anything to prevent Biko's death. "This is the big one, the one they can't get away with," said Woods.: "This is the death they will not be able to explain away." Kruger told the Transvaal provin- cial congress of the ruling National party Wednesday that Biko was not force-fed during his hunger strike because prison guards would-have been accused of brutality. He said it was Biko's "democratic right" not to eat. BUT A spokesman for the minister said yesterday that Biko wvas fed intravenously before he died. The spokesman gave no details, and: Kruger was not available for com- ment. Kruger also rejected demands: from white liberals for a special in- quest into Biko's death. He said inquests by magistrates are suffi- cient. Biko's widow rejected the govern- ment's assertion that her husband died of a hunger strike, especially as- the government said he began his fast only eight days earlier. The findings of a state-ordered autopsy, witnessed by Biko family doctors, were not expected until next week. The death touched off a flood of denunciations in South Africa an4 abroad. Much of the criticism was focused on Kruger'and his statement Wednesday: "I am not glad and I am, not sorry about Mr. Biko. He leaves me cold." 9 FOOTBALL SPECIAL THIS WEEKEND: 64 oz.
