Vol. XCII, No. 109 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, February 11, 1982 Ten Cents Ten Pages PIR GIM, MSA plan campaign opposing cutbacks By FANNIE WEINSTEIN In an effort to further combat federal cuts in financial aid to students, several student organizations are seeking help from professors and students in a massive letter-writing campaign tomorrow directed toward members of Congress. "We've asked them to give five minutes of their class time to let students write four sentences," said Cor Trowbridge, a representative of the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan. PIRGIM, the Rackham Student Government, and the Michigan Student Assembly have provided faculty mem- bers with the names of Michigan's congress members, according to Trowbridge, and out-of-state students are encouraged to write either one of their own congressmembers of the targeted Senate and House Budget Committees. TROWBRIDGE described the cam- paignas "crucial," and said she hoped the letters, which will be sent to Washington, would have an effect on members of Congress. "The best we can hope for is to regain some of the money it's proposed we lose ... and for the budget committees to oppose Reagan's proposals," she said. "Because of Reagan's cuts, it means a $1 million loss for us this year and a (possible) $5 or $6 million dollar loss for. next year.," The three groups co-sponsoring the campaign also have been working on a petition drive opposing financial aid cutbacks since Jan. 21.

Students to protest defense at 'U' By JANET RAE After weeks of negotiating, Univer- sity Cellar officials have signed a lease to move the store into a new home on. the corner of E. Liberty and Division Streets, U-Cellar officials confirmed yesterday. The officials said they hope to open the new location by early sum- mer. Although the decision to move is finally definite, troubles continue to brew between the bookstore and the Michigan Union, its present landlord. THE NEW SITE will be shared with Handicraft Furniture Store, the present occupant of the building. Signatures must still be obtained from Jack Lepard, manager of the furniture store, but he said yesterday what remains to be done are "just details." The 21,000 square feet U-Cellar will occupy are spread over three floors. Bookstore officials hope to open for business at the new location before June 15. As preparations for the move begin, negotiations for an equitable interim lease with the Union continue. U-Cellar officials have already rejected two leases presented them by Union Direc- tor Frank Cianciola as unsatisfactory. THE U-CELLAR has been operating in the Union on a month-to-month lease since the store's last contract expired in November, 1978. Bookstore officials say they are dissatisfied with Cianciola's proposal that they begin paying $9.07 per square foot until they move out in June. The store presently pays $5.48 per square foot. "We told him (Cianciola) verbally we wouldn't accept that," said Mary Anne Caballero, chairwoman of U-Cellar's Board of Directors. Since renovations began last month, access to the bookstore's basement location has been limited, she said. "Some students think we're already closed. At the only remaining entrance, there are four doors- two of which are broken. And the man is expecting us to pay $9.07? We think we should get a rent reduc- tion." "I know that (rent) was one of their concerns," Cianciola said. "We're still trying- to work out an amiable solution." If it (the move) works out for them - and I hear it will - I'm happy for them," Cianciola said. "I wish them the bestof success." ALTHOUGH HE has received several inquiries from area retailers, Cianciola said the Union Board of Direc- tors has come to no conclusions about how- to use the U-Cellar's space once the bookstore moves. le did say, however, that it was unlikely another -bookstore would move in. "The Board is not particularly in- terested in getting into competition with the U-Cellar for one thing," he said. "We want to provide the oppor- tunity for an exciting mix downstairs:. we'd like a mall kind of feel." Despite the move off campus, the U See CELLAR, Page 7 By BARRY WITT A group of at least 50 students, con- cerned with the University's in- volvement with the Department of Defense, planned last night to stage 'a protest this morning at the University's Institute of Science and Technology building on North Campus. The students were under the im- pression that Air Force representatives would be meeting with University of- ficials on campus this morning to discuss the possibility of the Air Force financing construction of a proposed robotics research institute on campus. The students said last night that they would present a list of demands to University officials concerning the University's involvement in research sponsored by the Department of Defen- se. LATE LAST night, however, the students, many of whom are members of the Committee for Research on In- telligence and Military Endeavors, a campus political group, learned that the Air Force representatives had already come and gone. But, CRIME spokesperson Liz Galst said the protest would go on as planned. The University's College of Engineering has requested a grant of more than $7 million from the Air Force to help establish a robotics institute. The students said they will demand that the University include in its handling of robotics a sludy of the impact the new technology will have on employment in Michigan. I In addition, they said they will ask for an open forum to examine the Univer- sity's dealings with the Pentagon, and for the formation of a committee of students and community and Univer- sity representativesIto study all defen- se-sponsored research on campus. THE CONFUSION began yesterday when an MSA investigator asked a University administrator when the Air Force would be on campus. Alan Price, an assistant to the Vice President for Research Charles Overberger, said he expected the Air Force to arrive in two weeks, unaware that the represen- tatives already had been here. Legal fght develops over 'U' professor By HARLAN KAHN University lawyers yesterday filed a brief in U.S. Circuit Court on behalf of a University professor sought as a witness in a court battle between a North Carolina family and the American Motors Corporation. The family, of Glenn Buchanan, a North Carolina man, who died in an ac- cident in an AMC Jeep CJ-5, sub- poenaed Prof. Richard Snyder to testify in the case as a highway safety resear- ch expert. Snyder, a leading expert in aviation crashes and one of the few forensic an- thropologists in the nation, has resear- ched a variety of road crash studies on vehicles - including the Jeep CJ-5 - at the University's Highway Safety Research Institute. ON SNYDER'S behalf; University lawyers won a ruling last Oct. 21 from Judge James Churchill in U.S. District Court in Ann Arbor. AMC has appealed this decision to Circuit Court in Cincinnati. According to Peter Davis, the University attorney handling Snyder's case, the situation involves 'issues of academic freedom and the First Amendment."

See story, Page 7. LANSING (UPI)- Gov. William Milliken told representatives of the radical All-People's Congress yester- day he is "trying like the devil" to ease the problems of the poor in Michigan. Milliken's face-to-face meeting with leaders of the organization capped a day of protests over budget cuts and demands for emergency aid. WILLIAM Roundtree, a spokesman for the organization, said the fact that Milliken was willing to meet with the group was good, but said he is not satisfied its problems have been ad- dressed. Those attending the conference then marched to the Capitol where they gathered outside the governor's office chanting "We want jobs!" "No utility hikes!" and "We want food, not empty pots!" MILLIKEN stressed his support for increasing welfare benefits, noting it faces strong legislative opposition, and his efforts to bolster Michigan's economy. "I wish there was a magic solution ... We're trying like the devil to solve those problems," he said. He also promised to issue a statement dealing with the Congress' program which includes a moratorium on plant closings, utility shutoffs, foreclosures; evictions and new taxes on the rich to maiNtain social programs.
