Page 2-Saturday, October 18, 1980-The Michigan Daily HEA VY FIGHTING CONTINUES IN KHUR RAMSHAHR Iranian prime mnmister visits U.N. From AP and UPI Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai, highest-ranking Iranian to visit the United States since the American hostages were seized, met yesterday with U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim and they discussed the Persian Gulf was and "a number of other issues." Waldheim was expected to raise the question of the 52 Americans held hostage for the last 349 days in Tehran, but there was no immediate word on whether they talked about the hostage situation. Rajai spent 90 minutes closeted with Waldheim and a U.N. spokesman would release no further details other than to say the two discussed Iran's conflict with Iraq and "a number of other issues." A SHORT TIME after the meeting, the Security Council began its session, which Rajai addressed. "We are here to discuss Iraq's in- vasion of my country," he said. "My people are being shot and bombed and shelled. We have 50,000 casualties, why should we worry about 52 Americans?" He said Iraq, in the 26-day-old war with Iran, has bombed schools and hospitals, "killing innocent people." IN AN ANGRY reference to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, he told the council, "The entire world must know that Saddam's army has acted without mercy, without pity, like Hitler's ar- mies." Rajai's special envoy, Ali Shams Ar- dakani, told reporters before the prime -minister spoke that Iran would not agree to a cease fire. "Nobody asks for a cease-fire when somebody is defending his house," he said. He added he was "not optimistic" about prospects for a meeting between Rajai and President Carter on the issue of 52 American hostages who yesterday spent their 349th day as captives of Iranian militants. ARDAKANI dismissed speculation of a swap involving the hostages and American spare parts needed for Iranian weapons, saying, "Spare parts is your issue, not my issue. Our boys are fighting with what they have." Ardakani snapped at newsmen: "The .country is at war and you keep talking about hostages!" Because of the United States, Ardakani said, Iran had been held hostage by the late Shah Moham- mad Reza Pahlavi for a quarter of a century after the monarch was restored to power with CIA help in 1953. On the battlefront, Iraq ceaselessly shelled the burning refinery city of Abadan and Iran said bitter block-by- block battles raged in the heart of Khurramshahr in the 26th day of the war. BUT BOTH Iranian cities, under in- tense artillery barrage and air attack for weeks, stubbornly refused to fall to Iraqi forces. Tehran radio, broadcasting a stream of military communiques, said "heavy battles" raged near the railway station and port offices of Khurramshahr on the Shatt-al-Arab waterway whose port area Iraqi forces occupied a week ago Monday. Iran claimed civilians and soldiers fighting "street by street and trench by trench" repulsed Iraqi forces from the port city of Khurramshahr yesterday and said the Iraqis were also thrown back 13 miles on a key northern front. In a later dispatch, the Iranina com- mand said Iraqi forces in Khurram- shahr "are now abandoning their positions one after the other in a state of defeat and disgrace. The Iraqi mer- cenaries are leaving behind arms and ammunition." Depts. By MAURA CARRY It's still too early to determine the full impact of the hiring freeze announced at the Regents meeting Thursday, but a sampling of department reactions gives a hint of what may be in store for the University community. Billy Frye, University vice president for academic affairs, told the Regents' that most vacant positions at the University will not be filled until the financial crunch eases. Frye said the move was necessary because the state is allocating the University less money than the Regents expected when they drew up the ten- tative budget during the summer. THE REACTIONS and predictions react to solicited yesterday do not necessarily represent a trend or a pattern for all departments, but they do reveal how some units are dealing with the latest phase of the financial crisis. Psychology Department Chairman Warren Norman said the announ- cement put his department in a grim. situation that has been "getting con- tinually worse over the last ten years.' Norman said the department has several open positions that were to be filled after a review next month. Now there is no telling when the department will be able to fill the slots. "EVEN IF THEY (the positions un- der review) were approved, we can't hire now," Norman said. He added that his department could currently use two hiringfr, or three additional full-time people. Norman said that due to the staff shortage, the psychology department will have to temporarily close several courses for the winter term. SUCH A PRACTICE presents a problem for the department because it has no way of knowing if there is still in- terest in a course if it is temporarily' suspended. Unless the University receives more funding next year, those courses may not be reopened at all, he said. Norman said the psychology depar- tment is being hit particularly hard because it is so large. Twenty percent of the students who enrolled in psychology courses this term had to be wait-listed, and thg hiring freeze will Q lnrb Un ip '0 eruicr FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 120 S.

NOT ALL departments will feel the crunch as hard as the psychology department, however. Frank Casa, chairman of the roman- ce languages department, said his department will not feel the effect of the freeze this year. "We're taking one year at a time," Casa said. There may be some movement in the department next year, but the freeze may be off by then, he said. The chemistry department, on the other hand, currently has two vacant positions, one of which just opened yesterday, department chairman Thomas Dunn said. DUNN SAID that it was too early to know how the freeze would affect the number of course sections offered. "I would like notto close sections if we can help it," he said. Dunn said that no sections would be canceled for the winter term, but said there might be reductions for the spring term. The staff shortage could mean someone would have to take on a double or triple load, Dunn said. He added that this would not help University standar- ds because it cuts into the time professors can spend on research. "This could be serious if it keeps See FREEZE, Page 3 EMU imposes, freeze on hiring By NANCY BILYEAU Faced with possible budget cuts, Eastern Michigan University imposed a hiring freeze last week similar to the freeze announced here Thursday by Billy Frye, University of Michigan vice-presidentnforacademic affairs. EMU's freeze, announced Oct. 6, will affect about 40 currently vacant faculty and staff positions out of a pool of some 1,600 jobs, said June Davis, EMU's per- sonel director. ACCORDING TO Frye, 250 positions at the University of Michigan will not be filled until the current financial crunch eases. The hiring freeze, estimated to save the University ap- proximately $3 million this year, affec- ts some 8,047 faculty and staff positions, according to Robert Sauve, assistant to -the vice-president for academic affairs. The hiring freeze at EMU was initiated as a "modest measure of protection" by the university's president, John Porter, according to Wayne Douglas, EMU associate vice- president of administration. Ap- proximately $1 million will be saved in salaries and employment benefits by this action, Douglas said. Those people under consideration for the EMU positions can finish inter- views, Davis said, but no offers can be made until after November 4, when the hiring situation can be re-evaluated. EMU'S DECISION probably was made because of the revised state budget announced by Gov. William Milliken last week, Davis said. "The legislature has delegated to Milliken the power to make tax cuts that affect educatioin," she explained. If ballot Proposal D-the Tisch plan-is passed in November, Douglas predicted, the results could be disastrous for schools such- as EMU, Central Michigan University, and Western Michigan University. INBRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Reagan, Carter to debate President Carter and Ronald Reagan agreed yesterday to a one-on-one debate on Oct. 28, leaving a fading John Anderson odd-man out. Reagan, apparently concerned that his once-big lead may be slipping away, said in New York: "I have instructed my debate negotiators to be in touch with Mr. Carter's staff tomorrow to begin discussing details of format and sponsorship." In announcing his decision to meet Carter in the debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters, Reagan said he still preferred to have Anderson included, but said he would leave that to Carter. Carter's campaign chairman, Robert Strauss, said he told the League the president would accept a debate with his GOP opponent "at any reasonable time, on any reasonable date, at any reasonable place, under any reasonable format..." St. Helens erupts again VANCOUVER, Wash.-Mount St. Helens blasted two huge clouds of steam and ash nearly 10 miles into the sky during the night on Thursday and early yesterday morning. Winds blew the grit as far away as Portland, Ore., as the mountain erupted for thefirst time since Aug. 7. No injuries or damage were reported from either blast Scientists said yesterday they wouldn't be surprised if the mountain erupted again in the near future. Students hurt in bleacher collapse EAST LANSING, Mich.-A section of wooden bleachers collapsed yes- terday as more than 100 student jumped and swayed during a homecoming pep rally at East Lansing High School. Officials said 22 students and two teachers were injured. The most seriously hurt suffered broken arms or legs, and others suf- fered back injuries or bruises, police said. Most of the students jumped or slid down the folding seats to safety when the collapse began. Milliken pleads for funds for anti-Tisch campaign LANSING-Gov. Williadm Milliken said yesterday he is making a personal 11th hour pitch to business leaders for contributions to the finan- cially strapped campaign for an alternative to the Tisch tax cut amendment. Milliken and, House Speaker ,Bobby Crim conceded opponents of ballot proposal D have failed to adequately make their case with the public. Milliken said he thinks the Tisch tax cut can be stopped, despite its lead in public opinion polls, but said he is "by no means assured of it." GNP rises in third quarter WASHINGTON-The nation's economy grew at a one per cent annual rate from July through September, the government reported yester- day-marking an important turn around for the record spring slump. The rise is the "real" gross national product-which measures the value of the country's goods and services and is adjusted for inflation-follows a 9.6 percent decline in the second quarter. High school band poisoned BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --Baffled health officials and physicians search- ed yesterday for the cause of an illness that struck nearly two dozen mem- bers of a high school band simultaneously during a football game. The entire 140 member Carter High School band was rushed to the hospital Thursday night after several members fainted after a half-time per- formance. Twenty-two were admitted and treated with a universal antidote. An undetermined number of others, who showed symptons, were treated and released. The students had consumed soft drinks from a concession stand and some had eaten candied apples from a convenience store before the game. The food was tested yesterday. A week earlier the band had received threats from juvenile gangs operating ian the guise of high school fraternities. GM predicts investment will buoy Michigan's economy DETROIT-Genral Motors Corp. Chairman-elect Roger Smith said yesterday Michigan's severely depressed economy will be buoyed by up to $10 billion in GM investments over the next five years. Smith, speaking to the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce and the Ann Arbor clapter of the National Association of Accountants, said GM's average employment in Michigan is down to 220,000 from 280,000 last year, but there will be a "significant increase" in the work force by this time next year. Smith said GM plans extensive renovation of plants in Flint, Warren, Ypsilanti and Bay City to churn out new front-wheel drive transmissions the company will need in 1983. Engine plants in Pontiac and Flint are being con- verted to production of four-cylinder units.

"IN IT thou shalt not do any work," nor any rpan or animal over whom you exercise authority. Probably nothing reveals the character of a person more than the commandments he makes, and nothing reveals the strennth of that charnter more than the manner he promised the people of the city it would "Remain Forever" if they quit working on the Sabbath, and hallowed the day: "Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain forever. - But if ye will not hearken unto Me to hallow the Sabbath day, and not bear a burden - then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched." Quit work, hallow the day, and your city shalt"remain forever!"
