Page 2-Sunday, March 29, 1981-The Michigan Daily compiled by Maureen Fleming Initiation practices common The University is not alone in the hazing rituals that take place on its campus-three in- cidents of hazing were reported this month at three separate universities. At the University of Oregon, two Kappa Sigma pledges were hit by a car while walking with seven other pledges along a dark country road. The nine men were left off after dark and told to find their way back to the campus as part of a fraternity "togetherness" exercise, according to Dean of Students Bob Bowfin. THE STUDENTS flagged down a fire truck and were asking for a ride when another car came around a curve and struck two of the group members, the sheriff's office said. Both were listed in serious condition at the time of the incident. At Washington State University, members of the Delta Upsilon fraternity were charged with hazing following a paddle-swatting incident during the fraternity's initiation week. An out-of-town official from another fraternity chapter happened to peer through a window in the DU house last month. The traveling secretary observed-and reported to the National Fraternity Council-that members were swatting pledges with paddles. THE FRATERNITY faces possible probation or suspension as an approved university housing group. The Dean of Students is to decide on disciplinary action. And at the University of Maryland, an Omega Psi Phi fraternity pledge was arrested for allegedly stealing $15 from an area store. According to a campus police detective, the pledge supposedly took the money because it was a task he had to perform to get accepted into the fraternity. l Copy killer A game similar to the University's "Killer" game is gaining popularity at the University of Maryland. The latest rage is called "Survival," and has about 300 students participating. The Ellicott Area Council stuffed mailboxes with applications for the game and a Survival Recruitment Center was set up in the dining hall. Each applicant was supplied with an agency survival kit, which included the name of a suspected double-agent and several agency ap- proved methods of exterminating the possible traitor. Agents kill their victims by getting them in a room alone, informing them that they are being killed, and telling them which weapon is being used. Agents can use guns, hand grenades, knives or poison. When agents complete their assignments, they take on their victims' old assignments. The number of agents will keep decreasing, leaving only one survivor, who will receive $20 from the Ellicott council. Ancient civilization tapped SAN JOSE, Calif.-San Jose State University students have discovered that rocks and pebbles unearthed at a site near Highway 101 in San Jose bear the markings of an ancient civilization dating back some 13,000 to 16,000 years. The study of the area is being conducted by Environmental Research Archaeologists. Most of the crew members are SJSU students and Native Americans. THE STUDENTS have dug as deep as nine meters with each level or strata of earth ex- posing older time periods. No one expected the finds to be discovered as deep as they were, one student archaeologist said. The first artifacts found were "projecta poin- ts," or stone tools and weapons. Arrowheads were also discovered, indicating that the primitive society hunted. The students have also found burnt and but- chered bones from a variety of animals, and a human skull fragment. Smurfs a new craze NORMAL, Ill.-Move over Ziggy and Snoopy. Your fan clubs are leaving you for Smurfs, the newest craze in miniatures currently taking the Illinois State University campus by a storm. Smurfs were developed in 1958 by a Belgian ar- tist named "Peyo" as a series of cartoons and books. The trend for the dolls began in the United States in 1979. There are Smurf characters in almost every profession and hobby, with the biggest seller to date at an ISU bookstore being the Smurf with a beer mug. The miniatures currently have houses, cars, and farms, and are doctors, nurses, hockey players, roller skaters, and even baseball players. They range in price from $1.50 to $10.

'U' student Halperin takes rights to court (Continued from Page 1) because I would be a prime target if anyone was prosecuted.

However, the suit questioning the use of Social Security numbers has already been ruled upon by the District Court and will soon be heard in the Court of Ap- peals. The District Court ruled late last year that a person shouldn't be required to include his Social Security number when registering. But, upon accepting the government's appeal, the Appeals Court temporarily stated that men registering for the draft would still have to include their Social Security number until the court makes a formal decision later this year. "We have an excellent chance of win- ning the case because the draft registration violates the privacy act of 1974 which declared that Social Security numbers could only be used in instances specifically requiring it," Halperin said. Halperin has receivedmuch media attention and some harassment for his activism. He said he remembers being harassed by several women after his appearance on the Phil Donahue show. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Hijackers seize Indonesian jet BANGKOK, Thailand-Armed hijackers demanding freedom for "political prisoners" in Indonesia seized an airliner with 57 people aboard, including three Americans, and diverted it to Bangkok yesterday. Indonesia was reported ready to meet their demand for release of 20 prisoners. Thai officials said Indonesian President Suharto had agreed to the release. Indonesian airline officials said their country's chief negotiator, Air Marshal Sugiri, had been told Suharto was prepared to provide a DC-10 aircraft with long-range flight capabilities to take the hijakcers to Sri Lanka, as they had demanded. Charn Angsuchote of the Thai prime minister's office said Suharto, in a telephone conversation from Indonesia, had asked negotiators to tell the hijackers it would take time to round up the 20 prisoners from prisons on Java and Sumatra and make arrangements for a destination. There was no immediate word of the hijackers' response. Amtrack service threatened DETROIT-The Reagan administration's proposed budget cuts could eliminate Amtrak service in Michigan by October unless Congress boosts funding for the federally subsidized rail system, officials warn. Chris Knapton, Amtrak's midwestern director of corporate com- munications, said the current proposed appropriation would force Amtrak to discontinue everything except service between Boston and Washington, D.C., when the 1982 fiscal year begins Oct. 1. The administration is proposing a 1982 budget for Amtrak of $613 million-$253 million less than the service requested. The House and Senate budget committees are scheduled to start drawing up the 1982 budget April 6. John Delora of the Michigan Passenger Foundation predicted a 50-50 chance the budget will be passed. Suspect charged in Chicago housing project shooting death CHICAGO-Police charged a suspect yesterday in the death of a convicted drug user at the Cabrini-Green housing project, and a spokesperson for Mayor Jane Byrne said the 11th killing there in recent months would not alter the mayor's plan to take an apartment at the crime-ridden project. - The slaying came a few hours after Byrne announced she wants a former Green Beret commander to take charge of security for Chicago's public housing, and six days after the mayor announced she and her husband plan- ned to move to Cabrini-Green as part of an anti-crime effort. Investigators said James Lawson, 28, was charged with murder in the shooting death of a convicted drug user, although he is not believed to be the one who actually did the shooting. Another man is being sought as the actual killer. Alabama hanging victim buried MOBILE, Ala.-Beefed up police patrols cruised Mobile's streets yester- day to guard against any disturbances arising from the funeral of Michael Donald, a black youth whose body was found a week ago hanging from a tree in a racially-mixed neighborhood. In jail, unable to post bonds of $250,000 each, were three young white men, known to police as troublemakers and drug-users. They face arraignment Tuesday on charges or murdering Donald, 19, a part-time newspaper mailroom employee who was studying to be a mason. Over 2,000 mourners, including a few civil rights leaders from other cities, overflowed the Revelation Missionary Baptist Church for the funeral yesterday. Several police cars were parked outside the church. Police say they had failed to establish a motive for the killing, but Donald's brother said he may have been mistaken for another black who had been dating a white woman. Political Action Committees spent record amount in 1980 WASHINGTON-The special interest groups that President Reagan con- tends are trying to thwart his budget crusade spent a record $130.3 million during the 1980 elections, the Federal Election Commission reports. The commission said in a report released yesterday that Political Action Committees raised at least $136.7 million during the 1979-80 election cycle. "How much of this money was spent on behalf of federal candidates is still unknown," the commission said. "However, preliminary data indicates that by Oct. 15, 1980, at least $50.7 million had been contributed to 1980 congressional races. PAC expenditures included at least $1.8 million for presidential candidates and another $3.2 million for debts from old campaigns and gifts for future races. Search for missing Atlanta children continues ATLANTA-Volunteers seeking clues to the killings of 20 black children and the disappearances of two others rushed to a southwest Atlanta neigh- borhoodsyesterday after a searcher reported seeing a black teen-ager mat- ching the description of yet another missing boy. Police Capt. O.W. Sheriff said the 100 volunteers, who had fanned out over a 10-square mile area, would regroup and concentrate on the area where a youth resembling 13-year-old Timothy Hill was seen. The case of Hill, who disappeared March 11, is being investigated by the missing persons unit and police say they consider him a runaway. Any missing teen-ager draws attention in Atlanta, where a special task force is investigating 22 deaths and disappearances of black children since July 1979. 0 a 'a 0 i Vol. XCI, No. 145 Sunday, March 29, 1981 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
