The attacks "on the Baathist in- fidels," Iran said, "succeeded in estroying two enemy posts, 11 tanks, orries, vehicles and enemy command communciations installations in their operations near the Ilam border zone." IRAQ MADE NO mention of.-the bat- tle of Ilam. AndIraq's military communique said its armed forces continued their "sacred crawl" toward Abadan and battled with the "enemy in all the bat- tiefronts, inflicting in their ranks heavy casualties and damages." Iraq rained artillery on the battered / eity of Abadan, whose oil refinery is the largest in the Middle East, and poured more men and artillery into the battle. But Iran claimed to have repelled the Iraqi advance on Abadan. . "IRAQI FORCE attempting to ad- vance nearer Abadan were forced to. retreat," Tehran Radio said, quoting a report from Iran's Pars news agency..

Reagan, who made earlier appearances yesterday in Ohio, charges that President Carter will raise taxes if elected to a second term in office. Reagan blasts Carter at Fitcampaign stop, By MAUREEN FLEMING Ronald Reagan said now is the time to cut-cut taxes, cut government spending, and cut back the number of gover- nment regulations on business and industry. He also took the time to cut down President Carter's economic policies. Reagan told the 1,300 people at a campaign rally at Southwestern High School in Flint last night, "If the American people rented the fat in government spending they would have enough fat to make soap for the entire world." PROMISING TO CUT government spending seven per- cent over the next five years, the Republican candidate promised to balance the budget 'by 1983. According to his plan, government-spending would be decreased two percent in the first and second year, and one percent in each of the following years. Reagan told the crowd in the Flint gymnasium that he plans to wipe out the "thousands and thousands" of un- necessary government regulations controlling American businesses by simultaneously accelerating the deprection allowance and instituting a 30 percent across-the-board in- come tax cut over the next 3 years. "We have the highest percentage of outmoded equipment than any other nation in the world," Reagan emphasized. Businesses, he explained, need to be modernized to keep up with foreign industries. AND HE CRITICIZED President Carter for his See REAGAN, Page 5 By LORENZO BENET and GARY LEVY copyright 1980, The Michigan Daily Members of the Michigan Hockey team released a statement yesterday revealing their version of the hazing of five freshman members of the squad Sunday night. The statement was signed by all 29 members of the team, including the freshmen that were hazed. The statement said "we do not con- done our actions but feel the facts around the incident have been grossly distorted." It said "the freshmen hockey players were brought to a house off campus and given alcohol. No physical force was used but peer pressure was evident. The intent of the drinking was not to force the freshmen to become sick." ONE FRESHMAN player involved, who has asked to remain unidentified, did not have his entire body shaved and does "drink," according to the release. The statement saidthe player was out- side for the shaving, but was brought inside after the shaving to be warmed. When he became sick he was led out- side to vomit, and then was brought back inside, the account read. The statement said he was taken outside once more to vomit and was brought back, inside and had warm towels placed over him. Players said he was outside for a total of 45 minutes, but was not, according to newspaper accounts, left outside to be sick or left lying on the ground for an hour and a half. The letter said that after it was ap- parent that he had become sick, he was placed into "the back of a fully-heated Plymouth Duster hatchback." He was taken straight to Markley Dormitory, a, seven-minute ride, and was not driven around campus for more than an hour. When the three players and the freshman arrived at the dorm, the ." release said, the player was taken into the lobby by the players where they were met by some twenty members of Markley-Reeves hall. It said the players were told to leave and also said the player was not "dumped on the hall doorsteps, incoherent and unable to walk." The player was coherent and able to walk to his room on his own. Markley residents. confirmed this statement. The statement said "the players at- tempted to check on the freshman, but were turned back -by Markley residen- ts. Phone calls later in the evening to check on him were not answered. See LETTER, Page 7 :S. . :. ..1. ..,:.. ...x.}i.x.,.:... :"v . . . .... "".. . . .v. Students co d c = By JULIE SELBST Jimmy Carter refused to debate John Anderson. Ronald Reagan delivered a short recitation on the presidential issue of sulfur dioxide. The League of Women Voters wasn't there. Anderson, Carter, and Reagan had it out in mind, though not in body, in the Bursley Cafeteria last night. Stewart DMhandell, representing Carter, refused to compare any of Carter's policies with Anderson's proposals, saying that they were too similar to bother explaining. Dick Cheetham, representing the Illinois congressman, responded that he wasn't aware that their positions were all that similar. And Ronald Reagan's spokesman, Ed Feeley, stated assertively, while answering a ' vaguely related question, that his can- didate's position on sulfur dioxide had nothing to do with his ability to run the *country. So it went. The candidates' represen- tatives bantered back and forth as students, primarily Bursley residents, asked them questions on specific issues. ANDERSON'S representative, speaking in much the same way as his candidate might, quoted an editorial by syndicated columnist Sydney Harris, in 4which Harris called this year's election ,'an indictment of the American political system.

"Econometrics" uses systems of mathematical equations fed into a computer to simulate how the economy works. Klein, 68, became the eighth American among 11 winners this year. The Royal Swedish Academy of Scien- ces, which selects the winner in economics, said Klein has been the leading researcher in the field of analysis of business fluctuation for 30 years. Klein developed the econometric models while at the University from 1949-54. He also served as lecturer, assistant professor of economics, and researcher for the Survey Research Center of ISR during those years. During his stay at the University, Klein conducted studies on household economic behavior and developed the first statistical model of the U.S. economy. He also started the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics. Saul Hymans, co-director of the seminar and professor of statistics and economics, said of Klein: "It was his foresight andability which made it (the model scheme) practical to forecast and analyze the U.S. economy." He referred to Klein as the "father of the econometric industry." Hyman, who has known Klein for more than 16 years, described him as a "very warm, helpful man, extraor- dinarily smart, and very interested in See FOiMER, Page 2 1I Daily Photo by MAUREEN O'MALLEY ies of President Carter at a mock presidential debate held last night at , who spoke for John Anderson and Ronald Reagan, respectively, also ... ..............__:i!{::i":'":"ti{:.^.:is::i{'^;x<::+i{::S~X.::}.... t . a ..v.v . participated. .1-.l.-.-..-....- ................. . .............. a m 'T "" .. ., .r.. .....'t..a. ... ..h .... ..................... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ......:v{{4.. ..... ... ........ .4..,. .... .":,,4. . ..;;.. r. : . ,., . . 4 ... ..r... ... ...}......w.:::v::::::::::::.:.............:.::::.... .,.....:{ f".. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."v,": v:: . :," "4 }.

Grogono, an associate professor of anesthesiology at the State University of New York Medical Center in Syracuse, conducted a study in the spring involving 280 dormitory students. He taped posters listing 25 key facts about Drunk driving "One day I opened a can of beer and it sprayed all over me," said Dr. Cedric Walker. "I thought, there's a lot of energy in there." That started Walker thinking about ways to harness that energy. Walker, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Tulane University, turned the problem over to 32 of his senior students. He gave his students an assignment to design, build, and test a car that uses a can of beer to get from Point A to Point B, using any part of the product and any scientific principle. The only limitation was that the project could costrno more than $60. "The serious purpose is to make students go out and build Laughing matter The Army isn't laughing about a comic book that pokes fun at its purchasing methods, and pictures Pentagon of- ficials as being two-faced, with Pinocchio noses, or bearing a strong resemblance to the Three Stooges. The 44-page comic book, "You're not Supposed to Get Mugged by Your Own Army," was created by Loeb Julie, an inventor and businessman who has been unsuccessfully trying for six years to sell the Army electronic equipment manufactured by his small Manhattan company. The booklet gives an illustrated account of Julie's efforts-beginning with his comic-book approach is "a terribly effective way of arguing his claim." Julie said the Soviet government of- fered to buy his equipment, but he said he refused the order out of patriotism.
