AcS deal Narrow Senate vote OKs sale to Saudis WASHINGTON (AP) - The senate upheld President Reagan's record $8.5 billion AWACS sale to Saudi Arabia on a vote of 52 to 48 yesterday, crowning an intensive lobbying effort that reversed long odds and delivered victory in his- first major foreign policy test. At the White House, an exultant Reagan declared the decision meant "the cause of peace is on the march again in the Middle East." WITH ITS VOTE, the Senate rejec- ted a veto resolution that would have scrapped the sale of the sophisticated radar planes and F15 jetfighter weaponry to the Arab kingdom. The president needed 50 votes, since a tie would have gone to him. The roll call was piped into the office of White House chief of staff James Baker, where Secretary of State Alexander Haig, national security ad- viser Richard Allen, and Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver had gathered around a conference table. When the count got to Edward Zorin- sky, a Nebraska Democrat who had a meeting with Reagan earlier in the day, the senator voted with the president. "THAT'S IT" said Haig, slapping the table. Baker said later the Zorinsky vote was the one surprise. Another of the deciding votes was that of Sen. William Cohen, a Maine Republican and the son of a Jewish baker. He said he is not happy with the sale but if it were rejected, Israel would become "scapegoats" and give creden- ce to those who say American foreign policy is shaped by the Israeli lobby in Washington. A THIRD CRITICAL vote came from Sen. Russell Long, (D-La), who had played his cards close to the vest to the very end. He said he was swayed by the thought that Congress should "support the president in this most crucial foreign-policy and natonal-defense issue." The House had voted 301-111 against the package two weeks ago, and, as late as Tuesday, Senate opponents remained confident they had more than enough support to do the same. But Reagan's personal powers of per- suasion produced a nail-biter than tur- See SENATE, Page 3 Twilight Zone A Thompson street resident is silhouetted as evening threatens to overshadow his work repairing the roof of his house.

"Ideal City Project," it read. The friendly people behind the sign explained that their community action group recycled papers and bottles, and conducted seminars and job placement programs. Membership in the group, they said, was "a step toward human development." During high school in Rochester, New York, Kem- perman, ambitious and idealistic, had participated in social reform projects. He had invested time in coun- seling youths and cared for a cerebral palsy patient. "Ideal City Project" appeared to be a new worth- while cause. The college-aged committee members of the Project were receptive to Kemperman's interest, and asked him to join them for dinner. Kemperman had made no friends at college until this encounter, and, he said, the invitation was irresistible. THAT INITIAL meeting in 1973 led Kemperman to become a member of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. Four years later, Kemperman was kidnapped by his parents from a shopping center parking lot in Massillon, Ohio where he was soliciting donations for the church, ending what he describes as his ordeal with the so-called "moonies." Since then, Kemperman, who later returned to school at the University of Michigan and graduated last May, wrote a book about his experience with Moon's church, The Lord of the Second Advent. The 26-year-old graduate, who is now back in Ann Arbor, will speak about his experiences in the church tonight at 7:30 in the Michigan Student Assembly chanbers in the Michigan Union. In an interview Tuesday night, Kemperman described the principles of Moon's church and what he claims are the methods they used to indoctrinate new members. THE MEMBERS of the church believe Moon is the Messiah, who camne to earth to complete Christ's failed mission, Kemperman explained. Moon, the alleged "perfect man," found the alleged "perfect woman," and they married. Together, they spread Moon's doctrines to followers who marry each other and produce sinless children. This "Kingdom of God on earth," he said, wishes to ultimately perfect the human race. But the members of the "Ideal City Project," who were followers of Moon, spared Kemperman the jargon-packed dogma during his first visits and workshops. Not until he moved into the Unification Church home off campus was he bombarded with what he termed their suspicious claims. Like the other three million young people who join religious cults, Kemperman fit the composite per- sonality picture described by the Rev. George Swope, operator of a deprogramming rehabilitation center in New Hampshire. According to Swope, recruits are See 'U', Page 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .>... .................... ...,>A............ . ~ ...... n " . r............3F........d.... . . . ........: . . . .n..:. v.;:::;;;: ::;;._"\f y:... ~ . . . . . . . . ... ... ... . .. . . . . .. . . . . ... . .. . . .. . . .. ............ ov . .<. ..& ... ...... ............. i...F.. ... ..... ... ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..'...0> Ca,......,..... . . . ..............Y ,..;'!:..... ,R.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .'.....:..-. . .. . . ,..... . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..5.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . .. . .. . . .. . . .. . ............................R..... ,. :I. , ' .

A .Y , vt: " s : 'U' project may show matter disintegrates By DAN OBERROTMAN University researchers are making final preparations for an 'experiment which may show that all matter - and thus the universe itself - is slowly disintegrating. The project, designed to test current theories on the basic forces of nature, could turn out to be a major scientific Wachievement of the century, said University Prof. John van der Velde, Ann Arbor spokesman for the project. THE EXPERIMENT is one *of several projects throughout the world searching for decay of the proton - one of nature's basic building blocks. The outcome of the experiment will allow physicists to "see whether matter as we know it is stable or un- stable in a long term sense," van der Velde said. Protons are known to be fairly stable. If protons were not stable, van der Velde said, even human bodies would disintegrate as protons decayed. Physicists have described three fun- damental forces in nature: gravity, the strong force (which binds the atomic nucleus together), and the electro-weak force (electromagnetism and the force which governs some forms of radioac- tive decay). THIS YEAR'S Nobel Prize was awar- ded to physicists who combined the theories of electromagnetism and weak forces into a single theory. Physicists believe the new electro-weak force theory and the law of strong forces may also be united into a single theory. The combination of these laws requires that protons decay, so the University ex- periment could support or refute this single theory. The project may be a major step toward completing a single theory which explains all of nature's interac- tions. Theories predict that the lifetime of a proton is between 10" and 10" years (about '100,000 billion billion billion years). . The age of the universe is estimated to be 10" years. IT WOULD.BE impossible to watch a single proton for its entire lifespan, so researchers instead plan to watch 101 protons for one year. If an average proton lifespan is 10", years, then researchers would find approximately 100 decays in one year among 10s see 'U' PROJECT, Page 2 Black rep. hired for minority se'rvices o ffice By PAM FICKINGER After more than a year of controversy, the University has hired a black coun-, seling representative for the Minority3 Student Services office. Budget problems and uncertainty, about what the representative's role should be contributed to the delay in, filling the position, said Thomas Moorehead, University -community services director. THE POSITION had been vacant since1 June, 1980 when then Black Represen- tative Richard Garland was discharged for "behavioral problems," Moorehead said. MSS is an office that offers a variety of counseling services to the Univer- sity's minority students. It is staffed by four representatives, each of whom specializes in a particular area such as financial aid or research on minority students. In addition, each staff member represents a different ethnic background. Currently the office is staffed by Asian American, Native American, hispanic, and black representatives. WHEN THE position was vacated in June, 1980, the director of Trotter House - a campus minority student center - and the student services program analysis director were hired on a part-time basis in the interim. At that time students went before the University Regents and requested that the University fill 'the position with a full-time black representative. In spite of student protests, the University decided not to hire a full- time representative after a task-force review of student services said the duties of the black representative could be filled by the other three staff representatives. IN AUGUST 1981, however Moorehead said another review showed that the office- could use an additional See BLACK, Page 2 Daily Photo by KIM HILL PROFESSORS DAN SINCLAIR (left) and Jack van der Velde discuss a University research project which may prove that the universe is disin- tegrating.

One lane of traffic was closed after the morning accident and most of the bees were killed after experts from the state Environmental Safety Dept. covered the truck with a large sheet of plastic and then pumped a harmful element from below. But several hours later, officers said there were still thousands of bees flying around. A man was transporting the 180 colonies of bees when the trailer suddenly overturned, releasing the bees, state troopers said. Highway Patrolman Wallace Bachman said each colony contained about 60,000 bees. State troopers -directed traffic while Bachman and local Wrap them in mink. Not a lot of mink, just a small rhinestone-studded collar. Dr. J. Dewitt Fox introduced the mink neckwear Tues. at the American Surgical Trade Assoc. Show. It was one version of a new collar designed by Fox, medical director for the Neurological Center. The collars force snorers to close their mouths, preventing mouth breathing which causes the noise that keeps others awake, Fox said. "Always a mate buys them for a mate, not for themselves," Fox said. The collars sell for $37.50 each for the standard model and $100 for the mink version. Fox said 2.000 have already been sold.
