/ 'Animal House' fraternity closed The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, February 2, 1982-Page 5 U.S.increases arms aid to El Salvador for mis behavior AMHERT, Mass. (AP) - A six-foot phallic ice statue on the front lawn of "Delta House" at Amherst College reflected the attitude of the members of e first fraternity in more than a decade to be disbanded for misbehavior at the exclusive liberal arts college. After authorities found a number of stolen articles inside the fraternity, College President Julian Gibbs decreed last week that Delta Upsilon Delta "will cease to exist or to operate as a frater- nity or social organization, effective immediately." THE FRATERNITY, which had 22 men and five women members, had een on disciplinary probation since November when four membes were arrested during its annual "scavenger hunt" on a variety of charges including disorderly conduct and larceny. Police said they recovered 90 items from the house, including - furniture, paintings, silverware, a headless skeleton, two stuffed roosters, a moose head and a motorcycle taken from area colleges and businesses. Erwin Nussbaum, dean of students, said yesterday, "Please don't refer to it as "Delta House, that was the name of the fraternity in that movie, (Animal House.) There should be no correlation." BUT SOME DELTAS conceded that the moniker "Animal House" has been hung on their former organization by their fellow students, and not without reason. "Alot of things we did were pretty stupid, but some of them were really funny," one fraternity member, who asked not to be identified, said yester- day. Gibbs' decision to disband Delta Up- silon was based on the report of an ad hoc committee of four faculty members and three students. THE COMMITTEE found the at- mosphere of Delta Upsilon "seems to be defiant, self-assertive and defensive, as reflected we believe in such joint en- terprises as constructing a six-foot high phallic ice sculpture on the fraternity's front lawn, and marching en masse to another house to rectify, by physical in- tervention, an alleged wrong to a 'brother.' ". "We didn't do it," Kiley said of the of- fending sculpture, claiming the current Deltas were being punished for the misdeeds of previous members who graduated several years ago. "I've never heard of anything so totally reprehensible," he delcared with only a hint of a giggle. "I can't imagine any self-respecting Amherst student doing anything like that." WASHINGTON, - The Reagan ad- ministration announced yesterday it is putting $55 million more in U.S. military hardware into El Salvador to swing the balance in the "decisive bat- tle" now being waged against leftist guerrillas. The shipments, from Pentagon emergency stockpiles, are being sent by President Reagan under special authority he can invoke when he believes U.S. national security is threatened. REAGAN USED the same powers to send 76 American advisers to El Salvador last March, of when 49 are still in the country. The president has repeatedly said Soviet and Cuban- inspired subversion is jeopardizing the entire Caribbean basin. The new aid was revealed amid reports that Salvadoran troops had killed abut 20 people - officially described as "urban guerrillas" - in a raid on a house in the capital city of San Salvador. The news fueled additional concern among human rights ad- vocates opposed to further American aid. The army denied yesterday that it massacred innocent civilians in the capital, claiming troops had conducted a regular anti-guerrilla operation and were fired on at leftist hideouts. THE MILITARY said five soldiers were wounded in the fighting. Residents of the poor neighborhood claim the civilian victims were dragged out of their homes and shot to death. "What the family members say are falsehoods," army spokesman Col. Eusebio Coto said of survivors' claims that the sweep was an "unprovoked massacre." Relatives of the victims, most of whom were men and women in their teens or early 20s, told a different story. A WOMAN SAID her daughter was shot after soldiers dragged the girl from her home. Another claimed her three daughters were raped before they were shot. Judicial officials said none of the vic- tims' relatives had complied with a judge's request to show up in court yesterday to sign affidavits repeating their charges that the victims were shot in cold blood and not in combat. "The relatives fear reprisals from the army, since all the statements they made yesterday accused the armed forces," one court official said.

(AP) - Two lderly residents of this affluent suburb surrendered four weapons to police yesterday as the nation's only law ban- ning sale or possession of handguns took effect. Village employees said they an- swered abut 20 telephone calls in the morning, mostly from news reporters asking if any guns had been turned in. THE LAW WAS passed last June 8 and has survived state and federal court challenges from opponents who say it violates the constitutional right to bear arms. All weapons surrendered will be held for five years in case the ordinance eventually is overturned. east Quad (continued from Page1) Jay Frost, a representative of the East Quad government, said that *University security receives about 10 to 20 reports each night of incidents of sexual harrassment - or assaults in campus dormitories. SOPHOMORE Susan Marcavage helped get the question of rape preven- - tion on the meeting's agenda. She and a friend, freshwoman Karen Zorn, said they have been receiving obscene phone calls, and wanted to raise questions about campus security publicly. S "People need to know what's going on," Marcayage said. "If you're aware, you'll know not to take showers alone, and be less off guard if something does happen." "Everyone thinks it's a joke, and it is in a way," said freshwoman Christine Miller. "But if something serious hap- pens . .. No one has been raped yet, but Police said they expected few guns would be turned in and they weren't going out looking for them. "We haven't some kind of quota to fill," said Larry Schey, police chief in this village of 26,000. "We won't be kicking down doors to get handguns." MERCHANTS, many of whom op- posed the ordinance as one which would strip them of protection against criminals, said they would wait before deciding if they needed extra security. Morton Grove had 189 burglaries last year, and the last violent use of a han- dgun here came in 1979 when two teen- age girls were killed with a pistol. "We're sitting ducks," said Joe Harrison, owner of Foremost Liquors. But he added, 'Being honest, I don't ex- pect we'll be descended on by everybody itching to do an armed rob- bery.A "WE WON'T change our security right away," he said, displaying a metal pipe hidden near one of the checkout counters, "but I'm waiting to see what all this will really mean." Jim Gordon, owner of Dempster All Sports, the only store here that sells guns, said, "The ordinance probably hurt my business by about 10 percent." He stopped selling handguns after the law was passed, but the store still legally sells rifles. "The NRA (National Rifle Association) approached me and they were willing to provide lawyers and money if I wanted to challenge the law. VILLAGE POLICE spokesman Robert Jones displayed the four old handguns turned in by the two residen- ts, "none of which I would take a chan- ce on firing." "These guys had these laying around the house," Jones said, "and they probably didn't want to be bothered with them." The law bans the sale and ownership of handguns by everyne except police, on-duty military and law enforcement personnel, licensed antigue gun collec- tors and the town's only licensed gun club. Violators are subject to fines of $10 to $100 for the first offense, and fines of $100 to $1,000 and six months in jail for subsequent offenses. -. , meetingqaddresses safety it could escalate."

STEINER SAID elimination of the department will result in an immediate 100,000 becoming available to the University through personnel and office costs, with an additional $100,000 becoming available sometime in the future. Nystuen, on the other hand, said claims of financial savings were a bit exaggerated, because of the money lost in geography graduate student tuition. The University lost $100,000 in tuition funds last year, Nystuen said, adding that the administration must still pay S the tenured faculty their full salaries. The Daily also learned yesterday that Geography Professor James Clarkson, the only tenured geography professor to recently resign, received a "substantial sum' of severance pay from the University. According to sources, a "mutually agreed upon settlement" was accepted by Clarkson in his termination negotiations. egI think his lawyer and the University negotiated his termination," said Steiner. Steiner refused to comment further on the termination arrangements and the exact amount of severance pay is not known.
