Following a day of warning strikes to protest police beatings of union ac- tivists in this northern industrial cen- ter, Solidarity leader Lech Walesa told workers, "We want to reach an agreement over the weekend to avoid strikes and cancel the strike alert if possible Monday." "But we will n9t let ourselves be out- witted by the authorities and if they try to outwit us once again there will not be enough lampposts to hang the per- petrators," he declared from a balcony at union headquarters here. His warning ;that all social and labor gains would be lost if laber peace was not restored came as Warsaw Pact allies were conducting full-scale military maneuvers inside Poland and in the Soviet Union, East Germany and Czechoslovakia. The official Soviet news agency Tass criticized plans to stage the exercises, calling them a breach of the spirit of the move to tension 1971 pact between the four powers. Such joint maneuvers occur routinely three times a year, and the ones star- ting next Tuesday, which are sponsored by the French, will take place in all three sectors of West Berlin, the spokesman said. About 2,500 soldiers, including 2,000 Americans, 220 vehicles and 80 tanks will be.involved. The troops plan maneuvers in wooded areas and on city roads, and will cross West Berlin's Havel River. In comments Friday, Walesa said the current crisis was "the most dangerous since last August," when labor unrest resulted in unprecedented concessions by the Communist government. Tass yesterday accused Walesa of an "instigatory assertion" and supported Polish police force in breaking up a union sit-in. The Tarsdispatch from Warsaw said Solidarity had illegally occupied a provincial government building here and authorities evicted them in keeping with the law. Quoting a Polish government spokesman, Tass said the illegal oc- cupation was a political act. "Thereby the leaders of the trade union association have violated the laws existing in the Polish People's Republic." The government "will take all measures to ensure order in the coun- try, order which is being unceasingly violated by Solidarity figures," Tass quoted the government spokesman as saying. Solidarity leaders said Walesa and other national and local union leaders would meet this afternoon with Deputy Prime Minister Mieczyslaw Rakowski who heads a government labor relations committee. Solidarity Friday night presented seven major negotiating points for the talks, including the removal Of several local officials and the publication of photographs of unionists allegedly beaten by police. Meanwhile, Soviet MarshalWViktor Kulikov, commander of the Warsaw Pact forces, arrived in East Germany to view East bloc maneuvers, the East German news service ADN reported. jAccompanied by East German Defense Minister Gen. Heinz Hoffmann and Soviet Gen. Anatoly Gribkov, Kulikov visited East German and Soviet units, ADN said.

Ku Klux Klan rally turns into violent conrontation From UPI and AP MERIDEN, Conn-About 200 anti- racist demonstrators hurled rocks and bricks at a rally of two dozen Ku Klux Klansmen yesterday in a bloody con- frontation that left at least 22 people in- jured, most of them police. A Meriden-Wallingford Hospital spokesman said 17 policemen were treated for injuries in the violence out- side the Meriden City Hall where the Klan had rallied in support of the police department. Most of their injuries were minor and all injured police were released. One of- ficer suffered an apparent broken arm. Four injured civilians also were treated and released, but one uniden- tified young woman who suffered a serious head wound was transferred to Yale-New Haven Hospital, the spokesman said. One Klansman was stunned by a tossed missile and was seen bleeding profusely. Another woman Klansman stumbled to the ground as she ran. News media members were also struck by flying objects. One cameraman was knocked to the ground with his gear. Sporadic fighting also broke out among individuals firom opposing groups. A NUMBER OF persons were taken to hospitals for treatment of injuries, including several policemen who may have suffered broken arms. One unidentified mran was reported to have sustained a serious head injury. At the start 4f their rally, the Klan marchers, led by Bill Wilkinson, Im- perial Wizard of the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, walked from the World War I Veterans monument to City Hall cheered on by an estimated 200 supporters. TRlE KLAN organized the rally to show support for a white off-duty policeman who shot and killed a black shoplifting suspect on Feb. 24. But at City Hall, they were pelted and jeered by the protesters, mostly mem- bers of the International Committee See KKKPage7I Apathy: Fact or fiction? AN ARCHITECT'S VISION of the University's Replacement Hospital. Construction is slated to begin in October. Hospital construction date nears Academics, lim itstudent participation By PAMELA KRAMER Students today are members of the "Me Generation," according to current historians, and "student apathy" has become the catch-phrase of the decade on college campuses. Declining studen- t membership in many campus organizations would seem to support the idea that disinterest is a serious problem, but actually, there is a better word to describe the cause of low par- ticipation: fear. Students fear the increasing com- petition for acceptance by graduate schools and for job placement in the real world, according to many student leaders. "LET'S FACE IT, the economy is getting tough out there, and a lot of them are sticking with class . . . they seem to be more academic-oriented," said Kevin Taylor, a consultant for the Student, Organizations, Activities and Programs office. Rick Sline, another SOAP consultant, agreed that "the striving for that all- holy grade is so intense, students don't find the time to work on extra curricular activities." "The irony of it is that I know what the business world looks for is more than the grade," he said, explaining that employers and graduate schools, "especially medical schools, are looking for people who can interact well. This, from what I understand, isn't learned in the classroom." STUDENT LEADERS say they don't deny that grade point average is an im- portant factor in getting a job or being accepted to graduate school. But because of the phenomenon of "gradeflation," (the mean LSA gradepoint is 2.9), they say students YO(u'2s RUNNINCG f y MSA P rpF4T Z Di p~r KN4OW Ycu WE E k ST~P 1 (91 NO T r J USf Th2O& 4T I'vLcCOK R p6 OM ( 162$, -pp V By BARRY WITT Preliminary designs are set, models have been con- structed, and University and hospital administrators are confident work on the $210 million Replacement Hospital Project will begin Oct. 1. After five years of planning and more than a decade of consideration, the Old Main Hospital, built in 1923 and now considered "obsolete," will almost assuredly be replaced by the middle of this decade. "ONLY A LACK OF money" can hold up the project any further, according to Douglas Sarbach, director of hospital planning, research, and development. Under one possible construction pattern, the new hospital - which will be situated on the medical campus northeast of the old hospital - will completed in 1985. But the Regents must decide exactly what kind of con- struction strategy to employ. DAVID THOMAS, A consultant from Barton- Malow/Construction Management, asked the Regents on Thursday to consider three contracting methods, one which would add 20 months to the construction period and $40 million to the cost. Such a plan would help alleviate the University's finan- cial risk. Under this option a single general contractor would be responsible for the entire project.g But the consultants have recommended to the Univer- sity that it use a phased construction pattern involving numerous construction companies to complete various parts of the project. THIS STRATEGY WOULD speed the construction process, increase opportunities for small, local, and minority businesses to become involved in the project, and provide for more flexibility if the hospital's planners decide to change portions of the facility. Flexibility is build into the new hospital's design, Sar- bach said. "The old building is very inflexible, but there will be minimum destruction and' minimum cost for changing anything in the new building," Sarbach said. Early site work on the newhospital - such as relocating utility lines, implementing an earth retention system, and constructing a temporary road around the area - will begin in the next few months. IN ADDITION, A NEW parking structure, which has a separate $7.5 million budget, will be completed by the end of 1982. Early completion of the structure "is essential to relieve congestion on the (medical) campus during construction," according to Thomas. In October, the North Outpatient Building will be leveled to make room for the replacement hospital. See CONSTRUCTION, Page 2 need to realize the importance of having "more than just good grades to show. "If you can get someone used to balancing their time while they're still freshpersons, then you won't have such a problem with low participation," said Lisa Mandel, Michigan Student Assem- bly vice president for student organizations. "I don't care. You don't have to spend 24 hours a day studying at this place, but if you get into the habit of just studying all week and then going out on the weekend while you're a freshper- son, it's hard to change later on," she explained. BUT STUDYING IS not the only reason students are hesitant to join out-. side organizations. They also fear the effects of Reagan's budget cuts on their education. Already, members of various organizations say, it's difficult for people who have to work to finance their own eduation to take on the ad- ditional burden of extra projects. "Our staff (working members) was dropping for a while," said Dale Cohen, a worker at the Ann Arbor Tenants' Union. "But then we started getting students through the work-study program, and we also have onepstudent who is earning independent study credit through participating." The number of students with work- study jobs is higher than it has ever been, according to Nancy Longmate, coordinator of the student em- ployement office in the Office of Finan- cial Aid. "THE INCREASE started last sum- mer, and it's been rising ever since," Longmate said. "Now, it is about 33 to 35 percent higher than it was last year." Mandel said there are several studen- ts working for MSA through the program. "It's geared toward getting students to be involved more (in See APATH Y, Page 10 -TODAY Political insights Rackaham elecuons Fed up with the way things are going in your graduate program?
