The Michigan Daily- aaturday, October 24, 1981-Page 5 'Great progress' made at summit, Reagan ays CANCUN, Mexico (AP) - President Reagan declared yesterday that "great progress" had been made at the 22- nation conference of the world's richest and poorest countries. But he warned against creating "some gigantic new international bureaucracy" to alleviate poverty. As the North-South summit finished its work, there wre no signs from the closed meetings that specific steps were agreed upon to lessen the pressing problems in the developing world, although food and agriculture were discussed for at least three hours and other talks focused on economic and energy issues. THE QUESTION of a World Bank energy affiliate to help poor nations meet increasing energy costs received widespread support, according to a British spokesman, who said that no one spoke against it although Reagan did not address the subject. White House spokesman David Gargen said the proposal, long opposed by the United States, received "mixed support" and disagreed when told that a Mexican official had said there was general consensus on the issue. Meanwhile, the Nigerian foreign minister, Ishaya Audu, was skeptical about the support Reagan's proposal for agricultural task forces would receive from "hard headed" farmers in the United States. The assisitance of the farmers would be called for in the plan. GERGEN SAID that during a one- hour discussion about trade there was "a great consensus in favor of open trade and open markets" and an ex- pression of concern about "rising protectionism." Reagan, whose emphasis on private enterprise and reduced foreign aid was under attack before the conference began Thursday, said yesterday that "no one at that table has done more in the line of foreign aid than has the United States. Reagan, initially a reluctant par- ticipant in the historic meetings, pleased many of his fellow leaders Thursday when he outlined conditions under which the United States would take part in talks intended to seek ways to narrow the income gap around the world. ASKED yesterday to clarify his *statement about such "global negotiations," Reagan said: "If global negotiations means that we continue negotiations as to how all of us can help resolve these problems, we're perfectly willing to do so.

Wessells, who graduated in 1968, played in the Michigan Marching Band and will perform in the alumni band at today's Michigan-Northwestern game. "I'm going to get out my rusty base drum strap and my worn down drum beaters, and play. "It's really a trip," Wessels said. Hugh Downer, of the class of '39, now a resident of Lake Tahoe, Nevada, spent some time yesterday reminiscing outside of the West Engineering Building. Downer explained that he had just spoken with the engineering student who operates the naval testing tank. "That's what I was doing 45 years ago," Downer said. "But in those days I had to jack up the tank. with a hand crank," he said, noting that the tank was now mechanically adjusted. Downer then motioned at his fellows alumns. "Whenever we get together it's a real bash," he said. "THEREiS MORE school spirit being displayed today than when I was here," noted Maryanne Gieffers, who graduated in 1972 and now lives in Chicago. \ Her husband, Don, of the class of '70, remembers the ham- burgers he would eat at Crazy Jim's. "They were the greasiest, sloppiest things you could imagine...but they were the best." Watching the snow fall, Gieffers added. "the October weather was much better back then, too." Many alumni. are glad to see that students have brought back pride in school identification. "This is like vintage 50s again," said Keith Molin. a '56 graduate, as he wat- ched the parade. "Agroup of students who would come out on a night like this, lay to rest the line that there's no such thing as school identification. Toere was a decade or so when you didn't have that...but in the 80s it's back." ELEVEN FLOATSr traveled in the parade, all depicting this year's Homecoming theme, "Michigan, Cen- ter of th World." Included were globe- holding football players and a horse -drawn Michigan version of "As the World Turns." The Sigma Nu-Chi Omega float cap- tured first place in the parade, with Triangle-Gamma Phi Beta and Bursley dormitory floats taking second and third place, respectively. Earlier in the afternoon, a standing- room-only crowd packed into the Count of Antipasto to witness the pizza-eating contest pitting 16 teams of four persons each against each other. U.s. policy LONDON (AP) - Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger came to Europe to argue for stronger defenses against a possible Soviet attack. He ended up spending most of his time defending the Reagan administration from European attacks. In France, Sweden, England and Scotland, Weinberger was tested on his ability to'smooth over what he termed "misconceptions and misinter- pretations of our policies." "MY GOOD FRIEND U. S. Secretary of State Al Haig says that whenever I speak extemporaneously I 'commit' foreign policy," Weinberger joked one night in Stockholm during a relaxed moment. His trip, ending Sunday, has given him several chances to do so. in Europe In Paris, Weinberger had to assure the leaders of France's Socialist gover- nment that the Reagan administration is serious about arms control talks with the Soviet Union. In Stockholm, he was called on to allay fears that the administration wanted to compromise the longstan- ding Swedish tradition of neutrality. FELLOW DEFENSE ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, meeting at Gleneagles, Scotland, asked Weinberger to explain just what President Reagan really meant- in remarks that appeared to reduce the U. S. commitment to protect Europe in time of war.

Faculty questions arise over 'U' research corporation MERYL STREEP #A (Continued from Page 1) stake in the outcome of research might tint a researcher's outlook or method. A corporation like MRC might guide research away from the pure pursuit of linowledge to areas in which more nonetary benefits would result. PROF. DONALD Brown added that some faculty members might be tem- pted to use the MRC as a base for doing marketable research that could be sold to industry without giving the Univer- sity any resulting profits. The University would have to make sure that the profits generated by research patented by the MRC stayed *,ithin the University, he added. BAILEY SAID the University should also determine what type of social ramifications such a research center would have on the state. "It seems to me that the University ought to take a broader look at its role in helping Michigan," Bailey said. Bailey added that the University should explore whether advanced technology might hike the unem- ployment rate through the loss of jobs to new machinery.

HOW THE environment surrounding Ann Arbor would be effected by the MRC was also a question addressed by_ faculty members. "The environment in Ann Arbor will change . . . we could have another Silicon Valley if the MRC were amazingly successful," Dornald Brown said. Brown added that Ann Arbor has a relatively pure environment that its inhabitants would hate to see altered drastically. Brown also questioned whether it is in the University's best in- terests to encourage a great deal of in- dustrialization in Ann Arbor.
