Bukovsky's task a tough one: Spreading word of Soviet terror By MARGARET YAO Even as Soviet dissident Vladimir ukovsky stressed yesterday that oppression in the Soviet Union can only be eased by Western public opin- ion, he doubted if his Western audience really took his tales of terror to heart. The 34-year-old exile, who has pent more than half his adult years in prisons, concentration camps and insane asylums, visited the campus yesterday as a side trip from his American speaking tour. , "IT'S VERY exhausting," he said in an interview with The Daily, "and I'm not sure it secures us real sup- port, especially in America. I was struck by surprise that you can say something 20 times to the same people, and the 21st time they would ask you the same question. They really have it in one ear and out another. "They're very willing to hear it, but they don't retain anything," said the candid but discouraged Bukov- sky. "The entire population of the country is in a state of terror and fear. The 'silent majority' is frightened to 'speak openly but have the same opinions as (dissidents) have. ..--.. .. +$ " + .t 1s {..- .. . , 1 . .." r3 s. -..," -.%:" his career in and out of asylums and prisons at age 17 when ge published a satirical journal. Expelled from Mos- cow University, the biophysics stu- dent was arrested in 1963 for possess- ing two copies of an anti-communist book. As was common practice for the KGB, the Soviet security agency, Bukovsky was declared insane and sent to a mental asylum. BUKOVSKY explained that psy- chic terror was used to make dissidents recant their beliefs. Drugs and physical abuse, he claimed, could be used to cause great pain, raise the patient's temperature to 104 degrees, or dissipate his brain, rendering him a vegetable for the rest of his life. Patients were also beaten up, he said. The political prisoner said he maintained his sanity by teaching himself English. "I found it a good place to learn such a crazy lan- guage," he quipped. See BUKOVSKY, Page 2 Clad in a casual brown sweater and turtleneck, he spoke in English of his country's large-scale violations of human rights before a packed house in Rackham Auditorium yesterday afternoon. HIS VISIT here, sponsored by individual supporters and numerous ethnic and University groups, was a detour from his AFL-CIO-sponsored lecturing tour. AFL-CIO President George Meany became personally in- terested in the Bukovsky case when Bukovsky's mother appealed for his help in 1974. Unassuming and soft-spoken, Bu- kovsky slouched comfortably in his chair on stage while Prof. Andrew Ehrenkreutz of the Near Eastern Studies Dept. delivered a fervent, im- passioned oral biography of the dissi- dent, describing Bukovsky's tribula- tions and his iron will to fight for freedom. Bukovsky, who was exchanged for Chilean Communist party leader Luis Corvalan last December, began . . . .....Y Obfsct 00 Rsw"4 nWRRMW. I f Jit v = d A *"1WSNY 1 yi ,. Bukovsky Jerusalem dresses up for Sadat's arrival Roses or thorns? No more guessing By SCOTT LEWIS In only a few hours, all the hoopla surrounding today's Michigan-Ohio State game will focus upon a one hundred yard long carpet at Michi- gan Stadium. When the two football teams emerge from the tunnel at the east side of the stadium, 105,000 fans will let loose after a week's worth of pent-up anticipation. TOTALLY forgotten will be all the trivia, game analyses and obscure history surrounding this game - matters which have preoccupied fans all week. No one will care anymore that Dale Keitz served as Woody Hayes' garbage man last summer, or that the Wolverines haven't defeated the Buckeyes in Michigan Stadium since 1971. All that matters now is what will happen between 1 and 4 p.m. out by See THE WAIT, Page 8 Fa ati bla By C How far, go to prov responded; whisking c and baring fuzz resem Now that RICK M the ill-coiff of the thou: blue who annual per Epsilon ho While G ing band b the beer- praises to crimson of coach," J University [thful ra:r t Blue rzes AROLYN MORGAN will Michigan football fans, e their loyalty?

Syria, Egypt's ally through three decades of Arab-Israeli war, declared a national day of mourning, and about 20 Arab students attacked the Egyptian Embassy in Athens to protest the trip to Israel. OIL-RICH Saudi Arabia, which bankrolls Sadat's impoverished na- tion, broke silence and declared itself "surprised" by the Eyptian presi- dent's decision to become the first Arab leader ever to visit the Jewish state. A statement issued by the Royal Palace in Jedda said King Khaled sent Sadat a message "making clear" his stand "in a very clear and definite way. The message was not quoted, but t h e government communique's strong endorsement of Arab solidar- ity indicated Saudi opposition to the trip. It was not known whether that position would influence the flow of Saudi aid to Egypt. MOST ARAB opposition to the trip has centered on fears Sadat may seek a separate peace with Israel, shattering the solid Arab front. Sadat has denied he will do so. In his speech tomorrow to the Knesset, Israel's parliament, the Egyptian is expected to restate pan-Arab de- mands .- Israeli withdrawal from See ISRAEL, Page 3 S adat - e--m- Confusion prompts MSAvote, recount By MARK PARRENT Ballots cast for representatives on the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) were recounted last night and JOB par- ty candidate John Gibson, who had pre- viously withdrawn from the race, was declared the winner. The recount was conducted after can- didate Tom Hathaway revealed that a candidate's withdrawal during ballot counting was not permissible under the: MSA election code. The only other result changed because of the recount was that Thomas Danko, who had finished tenth, was bumped from the winning slate. The confusion was over section 5.11: of the code, which says in part: "Any' candidate who files for any office may withdraw his or her candidacy up to one day before the elec- tions . Gibson withdrew his candidacy after the passage of a constitutional amend- ment he supported. The amendment changes the make-up of the Assembly THE MAN IN THE white sweatsuit and Go Blue button is up to his old tricks again. He's Bob Ufer, the terminally chatty Voice of Michigan foot- ball, who's toying with an effigy of Woody Hayes laid out in a coffin. Bob joined thousands of other chilly souls who popped in at last night's pre-game pep rally. Regents pave way for Medical L ibrary By BRIAN BLANCHARD The Regents cleared the way yesterday for a new Medical Library and, at the same time, agreed to. support a proposal for a divided high- way to improve access to the Medical Center if anroved by an outside planner. ON WEDNESDAY the state approved a $4 million appropriation for construction of the Medical Library. The Regents added a $1 million grant yesterday to the $2.5 million originally con- tributed by the federal government. Construction is scheduled for December. decides to fund the project. UATS was established in 1965 by Congress to insure that highway plans be coordinated by local and state communities.

AT THE INSISTENCE of Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor), the Regents included in'the high- way vote the condition that a private planning firm be consulted to check the University plan- ners' proposal.
