The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, October 7, 1981-Page 3 Shapiro discusses researc By BETH ALLEN In his first visit ever to the Michigan Student Assembly, University President Harold Shapiro told student government representatives that the University is not actively seeking military research contracts. In response to a series of questions, Shapiro said that although the Univer- sity will not attempt to persuade faculty members to seek defense department contracts, neiither, will it prevent them from working out their own agreements for military intelligence research. ON THE SUBJECT of minorities at the University, Shapiro assured MSAmember Ken Reeves that the University would continue its commit- ment to financial aid for minority students and noted that the University is lobbying extensively in Washington against further cutbacks in federal aid and loan programs for students. MSA member Valerie Mims also asked Shapiro why the University's Af- firmative Action office has no minority employees. Shapiro told Mims that the situation in the affirmative action office "doesn't reflect anything about what our attitude is" on minority recruit- ment.r Shapiro also said at the student government's weekly meeting that the University hopes by the end of the academic year to be able "to articulate just where enrollment adjustments will take place" to ease student over- crowding. He added that the University plans to add more faculty members to the engineering college to balance a sliding student-faculty ratio there. IN OTHER MSA business last night, the assembly decided to take a proposed appointment of David Schaper, a controversial student government activist, to an interviewing committee that would select new justices for the Central Student h policy Judiciary, the top student government court. Schaper, a law student, who once was the CSJ's chief justice, raised a dispute within the assembly last spring when he attempted to revise MSA's compiled code, a body of rules which governs the conduct of the assembly. 'MSA President Jon Feiger objected ; strongly to the proposed appointment, citing Schaper's "extremely controver- sial" history with student government. Assembly members overwhelmingly agreed to table the appointment until next week at Feiger's request, with three dissenting votes.

"It's doubly sad because Sadat seemed truly interested in negotiating with Israel." "Speaking from the Zionist point of view, it was a shock to me," said David Holzel of the Union of Students for Israel. "We're a little nervous. Sadat was the only Arab leader we ever dealt with. Anyone else will be an unknown factor." The human brain is split into two hemispheres. One governs a person's intellectual and critical behavior. The other handles intuitive and artistic behavior.
