O dumpin By CATHY BROWN Sycor, Inc. and its maintenance supervisor were charged yesterday with illegally disposing of 45 barrels of liquid chemical waste in a western Washtenaw County township, accor- ding to the Ann Arbor Police Depar- tment and County Prosecutor William Delhey. Sycor maintenance supervisor Marve Sharpenburg, who was unavailable for comment yesterday, allegedly released the waste to an unidentified Sharon Township resident, who then reportedly umped the 45 steel'barrels of organic hemical waste in the township, which about 15 niles west of Ann Arbor. SYCOR, A computer terminal manufacturer in Ann Arbor, is the city's largest private organization. The corporation recently announced it may lay off 600 workers as it converts from a manufacturing plant to a center for research, field service, and data center functions. According to Delhey, the waste, which is still in the barrels, "doesn't cause any immediate hazard to nearby residents," but wasn't disposed of properly. He added that the barrels were "probably up to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to dispose of." Delhey said the 53-gallon barrels con- tained several different types of chemicals, and proper disposal could include such methods as incineration. THE CRIMINAL investigative unit of the DNR's Environmental Enfor- cement Division, which conducted the investigation, claims the offense oc- curred around Aug. 31, 1979. When contacted for comment, Sycor spokesperson Jerry Handin would only say that the company is "in the process of examining not only the charges but the facts surrounding those charges,' and as of yet had not taken a stand in the case. The pre-trial is set for Feb. 28 and the defendants will face a penalty of $500 and/or confinement of up to 30 days if convicted. registration More than 500 gather on Diag By JOYCE FRIEDEN, MITCH STUART, and GREGG WOLPER In the University's largest rally in several years, more than 500 people braved the frigid weather yesterday on the Diag to protest draft registration by chanting anti-war slogans and carrying signs. The noon rally, sponsored by Public Interest Research Group in Michigan' (PIRGIM) and the Washtenaw Committee Against Registration and the Draft (CARD), was in response to President Carter's recent announcement of his inten- tion to reinstate draft registration. JOE VOLK FROM the local chapter of the American Friends Service Commit- tee spoke at the rally and criticized Carter's attitude as well as his foreign policy. "He (Carter) said we should be prepared to decide that war is thinkable. War is not thinkable, war is not necessary." Volk continued, "If the answer to any policy question is war, they are asking the wrong question." Volk opposed what he called "thie spirit of the bayonet. It is to kill. The spirit of the American people is not the spirit of the bayonet and is not the spirit to kill, but is the spirit of the dove," he said. TOM SCHOMAKER, a spokesman for the Wesley Foundation, said "If you're an objector I think the most conscien- tious thing you can do is to stop the draft by stopping registration." Schomaker said the crowd should be continually concerned about objection. "If you're a real conscientious objector, you'll support objection all the time and not just when your ass is in the frying pan. You must clarify your thoughts now. When the draft comes there isn't too much time to think," he added. "If the world goes to hell, friends, you go with it," Schomaker warned. "We . .must convince Washington that there is strong support to say no to the myth that we need registration," he said. STUDENTS AND other protesters sprang to life when Ann Arbor resident Wladyslaw Narowski suddenlystepped See PIRGIM, Page 2 rhoto by DAVID HAI TWO GENERATIONS united on the Diag yesterday to voice protest against draft registration. Over 500 demonstrators defied the cold to shout slogans such as "I won't kill for Capitol Hill" at the PIRGIM-sponsored rally. Children, at the right, were holding conscientious objector forms. Former amRbassador blames policy decision for Ianian hostiles The United States failed to cultivate Ayatollah Khomeini as an ally before the Iranian revolution last January due to a policy decision in the White House, and not a lack of intelligence on Iran, William Sullivan, former U.S. am- bassador to Iran said yesterday. Sullivan, who will speak on campus Feb. 12, said in a telephone interview from New York City yesterday, the U.S. embassy in Tehran informed the White House of the growing turmoil in Iran in 1978 from day to day. HE ALSO* SAID the Central In- telligence Agency (CIA) told the White House of the approaching Iranian revolution. Sullivan was a career diplomat with 35 years of experience before his retirement in June. He served as am- bassador to Iran from June, 1977 to April, 1979. In spite of Sullivan and the State Department's advice to establish relations with the Ayatollah, President Carter chose not to act on this advice and establish relations with Khomeini, who was in exile in France before the Shah's downfall. "QUITE CANDIDLY, in the White House, they did not want to hear that the Shah was going to go," Sullivan said, so the president vetoed attempts by the State Department to work with Khomeini before the Shah's ouster. Sullivan sail the president received conflicting advice on Iran from the State Department and his National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski. "Basically it was Brzezinski who thought that some heroics could save the Shah," Sullivan commented. AS A RESULT of the decision not to establish relations with Ayatollah Khomeini before the Shah's downfall, Sullivan said Khomeini and the Iranian governement believed the U.S. was hostile. Admitting the Shah to the United States for medical treatment in October intensified Iranians' hostility to the U.S. government, Sullivan added.

Several state legislators and MSU trustees and ad- ministrators have charged Gov. William Milliken with slighting MSU in favor of the University of Michigan through his budget recommendation for fiscal year 1981. LAST YEAR, the governor suggested a 9.5 per. cent hike over this year's $146 million appropriation for the University of Michigan, and an 8.5 per cent increase for MSU. As Gerald Miller, director of the state's Department of Management and Budget, unveiled Milliken's plan before the legislature's appropri~tions committee last week, Rep. Morris Hood (D-Detroit) questioned the fairness of the fun- ding formula used to give the University of Michigan a higher recommendation than any of the 12 remaining state- supported colleges and universities. The average hike for all the state's institutions of higher education is 8.4 per cent. Miller answered Hood and said, "The governor feels that the University of Michigan is the flagship institution of this state. He feels that it is the major leading institution in Michigan." AND THAT FEELING is apparently at the center of the complaints from MSU supporters. According to State Rep. Gary Owen (D-Ypsilanti), MSU officials take issue with Jhe governor placing the University of Michigan on a higher level than MSU. See MILLIKEN, Page 9 Iranian government and militants disagree on effects of hostage escape From United Press International Irjan's Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh angrily warned yesterday that Canada "will pay" for smuggling Americans out of Iran and hinted at retribution on the American hostages. But the militants at the U.S. Embassy blamed Ghotbzadeh, not their captives. A spokesman for the militants was quoted by the official Cuban press agency Prensa Latina as saying the escape of the six Americans vill not af- fect their treatment of the embassy hostages. The spokesman also criticized the Iranian foreign ministry for not keeping count of the American diplomats in Tehran, in order to 1oto prevent such an escape. The clash was the latest sign of discord between the militants and government officials. Earlier this week, President-elect Abolhassan Bani- Sadr warned the militants they could not be a separate "government." Ghotbzadeh called the rescue of the six Americans, hidden by Canada since the seizure of the U.S. Embassy Nov. 4 and whisked out of the country with forged Canadian documents, a "flagrant violation of international law, a betrayal of Iran and a brutal act of espionage," Western press reports from Iran said. Canada closed down its embassy in Iran Monday to protect its own diplomatic personnel from Iranian reprisals after overseeing the escape of the six American diplomats, who repor- tedly left over the weekend. In Toronto, Canada's External Af- fairs Minister Flora MacDonald shrugged off the Iranian threat, saying relations between the two countries had already "dwindled almost to nothing." The six Americans who escaped from Tehran with Canadian help were flown first to West Germany and then to the United States, arriving yesterday af- ternoon at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. From there they headed home. At least two of the six were reported to have been inside the American em- bassy in Tehran during the takeover by militant students. They escaped shortly afterwards, but were counted among the 50 hostages in the embassy. Meanwhile, the official Iraqui news agency reported five persons were killed in fighting between the central government's revolutionary guards and Kurdish militants in the southwest of Iran yesterday. JEAN MURRAY, a Montreal, Canadanative and an employee of the Canadian Embassy in Washington, gazed from an embassy window-yesterday toward an office building across the street where the words "Thanks Canada" were attached to the window. The gratitude was for Canadian help in the escape of six American diplomatic employees from Iran.
