al Page 2-Saturday, January 17, 1981-The Michigan Daily STATE LACKS FUNDS TO FINANCE Student loans suspended LANSING (UPI)-Financially pressed state officials announced yesterday they will stop accepting new student direct loan applications tem- porarily and make new cuts in state competitive scholarships. The Michigan Direct Student Loan Agency said it will stop accepting new requests for about 90 days on Feb. 1 due to a press of applications and the tight money market. IT ALSO WAS announced that the Michigan Competitive Scholarship program is reducing 1980-81 awards by an additional four percent because of a cut in state appropriations. Officials earlier cut awards by $250 because of the large number of ap- plications. John Hoekje, supervisor of the loan agency, said he expects to have all of the $42 million available for this school year committed in February and has been unable to arrange new financing at this time. HE SAID officials are exploring some pioneering alternative financing schemes due to the difficulty in marketing bonds normally used to fund the loans. , The deepening recession has triggered a tripling in applications to, the agency, which handles about 30 percent of the guaranteed student loans made in Michigan.' The other 70 percent are made through private institutions under the Michigan Guaranteed student Loan Program. In the 1979-80 fiscal year, Hoekje said, 20,000 student loans totaling nearly $35 million were made. This year, he said, the full $42 million allotment has been exhausted in the period between Oc- tober 1980 and February. Hoekje said his agency has had trouble selling bonds on the current in- flated money market because of statutory ceilings that limit interest charges to seven percent on renewal of old loans and nine percent on new ones. GM study reports Americans think imported cars are better FLINT (UPI)-A General Motors Corp. report shows the public views the quality of U.S.-built cars as less than that of imports and customer sastisfac- tion in GM cars has dropped recently, the Flint Jour- nal reported yesterday. In a copyrighted story, the newspaper said the con- fidential report also included GM internal quality audits that confirmed buyer perceptions. WHILE BOTH European and Japanese-built cars rated better than domestic cars, the Journal said the report showed Japan led in quality. "It's obvious when we match our GM's performan- ce in the specific assembly factors with low and high price foreign cars, why their owners overall satisfac- tion is so much higher," the report said. "In not one inistance do we achieve the levels of customer ap- proval attained by our overseas competitors." Overall, the report said, GM products "appear no better or worse than Ford, Chrysler, or American Motors. "HOWEVER, WHEN we match our products and those of our domestic competitors with foreign built cars, the picture changes dramatically. "Needless to say, these manufacturers and their buyers have set a high standard for us to challenge." In the area of interior workmanship, the report said, "there is no comparison. The Japanese do the better job." GM REFUSED comment on the report which com- bined quality audits by GM inspectors and question- naires filled out by purchasers. The report showed qualit of workmanship on GM cars dropped seven points between 1979 and 1980 with key problems in the areas of squeaks and rattles, ex- terior finish, wind noise and fit of doors and exterior moldings. "While the majority of new car buyers of domestic products have been quite satisfied with the condition of their cars at or shortly after delivery, ap- proximately one quarter found enough fault to register dissatisfaction," the report said. In the first quarter of last year, the report said, the quality level of GM's X-body cars was well below the corporate norm of 67 percent good customer votes and a 121 rating in the quality audit. "In no instance over the entire period have we matched low-price foreign products or even come close to the quality perceived by high-priced foreign buyers," the report said. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Phillipine martial law ends after eight years MANILA, Philipines-President Ferdinand Marcos announced yesterday he will end eight years of martial law today but will retain wide powers while the Philippines moves toward full democracy by 1984. "We meet for the last time as an emergency crisis government," Marcos told more than 20 members of his ruling New Society Movement at the presidential palace. He said he will formally lift martial law with a proclamation to be issued today. Groups opposed to Marcos announced plans to mount anti-government demonstrations as a test of Marcos' sincerity in ending martial law. Marcos said he would tolerate demonstrations as long as "they have the necessary permits from the mayors, they don't block traffic and don't violate the law." IRA supporter shot in home BELFAST, Northern Ireland-Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, Ulster firebrand for Roman Catholic rights, was reported in "critical" condition in an intensive care ward yesterday after she and her husband were gunned down by masked terrorists. Three gunmen burst into the McAliskey home just after breakfast and opened fire in front of the couple's three young children. Three suspects, identified by police sources as Protestant extremists, were captured by British troops on patrol near the rural cottage at Derrylaughen on the shores of Lake Neagh, County Tyrone, 48 miles west of Belfast in this British province. Unconfirmed reports said McAliskey had received threats on her life because of her strong stand on behalf of Irish Republican Army guerrillas demanding political status in Ulster's jails. Their children, aged 9, 5 and 2, were not injured. Polish transit workers stage warning strike+ WARSAW, Poland-Transit workers in this capital city and workers and drivers in other Polish towns including Krakaw staged quiet "warning strikes" yesterday over the communist regine's refusal to grant an im- mediate five-day, 40-hour work week. Buses and trams ground to a halt at 8 a.m. in Warsaw and remained idle for four hours, virtually paralyzing this city of 1.6 million that depens heavily on public transportation. A similar protest idled public transit in. Krakow in southern Poland for one hour. The union is protesting possible government reprisals against workers who stayed home last Saturday to press demands-for an immediate end to the current six-day, 46-hour work week. The government agreed to a 40-hour week in last summer's strike-ending agreements, but set no timetable for its realization, promising instead to phase in a shortened week over the next five years. Top officials have said Poland's staggering economy cannot afford an immediate 40-hour work week. Judge receives death threats for girls in desegregation case ALENANDRIA, La.-A state judge received two telephone calls threatening three white girls With death if they follow the wishes of a federal judge and attend an integrated school, an attorney for the girls said yester- day. Attorney J. Nimos Simon said Judge Richard Lee received two telephone calls Thursday night "which said if the young ladies enroll at Jones Street School, they wouldn't live through the (first) day." U.S. District Judge Nauman Scott had ruled Thursday the girls could receive credit for this semester's work at Buckeye High-chool if they enroll at the Jones school next term. He also dropped contempt charges against all concerned after Lee agreed to stop personally enforcing his ruling to allow the girls to attend Buckeye. Senate committee gives Smith OK for attorney general WASHINGTON-William French Smith, President-elect Ronald Reagan's friend and former personal attorney, yesterday won unanimous approval from the Senate Judiciary Committee to be attorney general. The committee sent its recommendation to the full Senate, which is expec- ted to begin work on confirmation of the Reagan Cabinet shortly after the inauguration Tuesday. Smith was not present for the vote. Committee Chairman Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) said Smith, 63, will make a "great attorney general." Salvadoran troops 'crush' week-long guerilla offensive SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-Salvadoran troops said yesterday they smashed a week-long leftist guerilla offensive and gained control of the en- tire country, but reports said government aircraft bombed a rebel strong- hold on the slopes of a volcano. Defense Ministry spokespersons said government troops had "totally crushed" the assaults launched since last Saturday by the Farabundo Marti Liberation Front, an umbrella group of five Marxist-led guerilla organizations.

Under the lie detector law, police of- ficials are forbidden to require women who report they were raped to submit to the tests or to even mention them. MEN ACCUSED in rape cases, however, must be given the option of taking the test and the victim must be informed of its results. Feminist groups complained un- dergoing a polygraph test is an added ordeal for rape victims. Victims should not be treated like criminals, backers of the bill argued, since no other crime victims are routinely required to prove their stories through such tests. But critics of the measure, including a former state police officer now ser- ving in the state House, said the use of lie detector tests deters the filing of false and spiteful charges. MILLIKEN ALSO signed a measure to help older cities develop sites needed to attract new industrial developments such as the new General Motors Corp. plant planned for Detroit. Under the development bill, cities can finance site development efforts through tax anticipation notes based on the revenue they expect to get from the project. These efforts include rehabilitation of streets, facilities, and utilities as well as clearing land. Detroit is expected to sell $25 million in tax anticipation notes under the measure for the new GM plant in the city's Poletown area. "This legislation is important to the revitalization and self-determination of our older Michigan cities, allowing them to influence the reinvestment of private dollars into areas of greatest need," Milliken said. Milliken also signed bills that will: " Permit the state assessors board to grant conditional certification for six months to newly elected assessors. " Require the drafting of a regulatory impact statement on the potential cost and paperwork that could be generated by new rules submitted for the approval of the legislature's Joint Ad- ministrative Rules Committee. 0 4 0 Join The Daily (.,be Siirbigan B atiI Vol. XCI, No. 92 Saturday, January 17, 1981 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.

Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25 In the next to the last verse in the Bible, God's revelation of Himself to man, Jesus Christ says: "SURELY I COME QUICKLY, AMEN." The Apostle John answers: "EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS." "He that endureth to the end shall be saved ... Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." If I don't "endure to the end" I will be an offense in that day, "for he that putteth his hand to the plow and looketh back is not fit - offensive - for the kingdom of God." If there is not given to me a "crown of life," then surely I wear a crown of death, eternal death! All profane folks will be found to offend, whether it is from cursing or taking the name of God in vain by insincerity of worship and profession. Sabbath desecrators offend; using the day God sanctified for His own honor and to be a blessing to man in giving him one day in seven to "seek the Lord it," it :s not pleasant to think of Christ's angels gathering all such for the furnace of fire. Instead of praying Him to "Come quickly," one might be inclined to do as the gardener did when the lord of the vineyard told him to cut down the barren fig tree: Lord, don't cut it down yet, leave it a while longer, stir up your people to dig about it, dung it, with the hopes it will bring forth fruit, and not have to be cut down! Why is it that we do not pay more attention, why do we not continually drum such solemn, even terrible truth, into our hearts and minds! Why is it that in our teaching and preaching we don't stress the fact that when Christ "cometh to make up His jewels" there will be a discerning "between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." - Malachi 3:16, etc. In our time it appears that much of the teachings A Editor-in-Chief ...................
