The three leaders met here yesterday to publicize their concern that President Reagan's proposal to slash loan and grant programs by more than half in the coming fiscal eyar would force many students who rely on the funds out of school. THERE WILL, however, be plenty of wealthier students to fill the empty *daces, the presidents said. "But the issue is not filling the slots," according to Bonner. "The question is providing a fair chance, for persons to serve the state and the nation." The presidents chastised government officials for not giving students enough credit. "Unfortunately, we've gotten the stereotype that students, are not helping to put themselves through college," Shapiro said, noting that eore than 65 percent of his University's tudents work part-time to help support themselves. According to Bonner, 75 percent of Wayne State's students work part-time. "So when you have the Secretary of Education and others in the ad- ministration saying (students) can work their way through, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense." Bonner cited an 18.4 percent overall unemployment rate in Detroit, with _ Imost one-third of the city's young hites, and two-thirds of its young blacks unable to find work.

The Art School, along with the Schools of Education and Natural Resources, was named last week for a review which could result in a major budget cut or even elimination of the school But Bayliss told the students at the S meeting - attended by almost two- thirds of the school's student body - that there is a possibility the school will come out of the review with a budget increase. See ART, Page 3 By PERRY CLARK Special to the Daily CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.- With an earsplitting roar and a shock wave that shook the ground for miles, the Space Shuttle Columbia thundered into orbit yesterday for what should be its longest flight yet. The shuttle roared into space for its third trip only one hour behind schedule, a considerable relief to laun- ch workers who watched the first two flights be delayed for days or even weeks. TO MOST of the thousands of obser- vers, who filled the roads and fields around the oceanside 'launch site, the lift-off was as perfect as the 90-degree Florida weather. The shuttle's astronauts, C. Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma, a Univer- sity graduate, willremain in' orbit around the earth for a full week-several days longer than the fir- st two flights-during which time they will conduct a number of tests to check the shuttle's performance in space. The shuttle's launch was moved from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. because of a pre-dawn fueling problem, which was quickly repaired. Despite the brief problem, it was all smiles fbr the officials and workers on the ground who put the shut- tle into space. "FOR THE first time, we did it on the same day we planned to," said George Page, who directed the launch. "We didn't really have any big problems. I'm real pleased with the performance of the launch team. Getting it off the same day was terrific." A minor problem developed in the shuttle shortly after liftoff in one of the ship's Auxilliary Power Units. Page said the problem should not hamper the shuttle's flight and that Mission Control in Houston still hopes to have the unit in working order by the time the shuttle touches down in New Mexico Monday. During its week-long flight, scientists hope to find out how the shuttle reacts to closer exposure to the heat of the sun and to test ther ability of the craft's robotarm. IN ADDITION, the astronauts will conduct at least 14 different experimen- ts to test the effects of zero gravity. Most important, however, is the need to find out how the shuttle will perform during an extended trip in space. In this, its third of four planned test flights, the shuttle will travel 3 million .miles in space and wil orbit the earth every 90 minutes.

After a one-hour delay - caused by a fueling problem - the Columbia roared away from its launch pad to whoops and screams from ecstatic shuttle en- thusiasts. "Amaxing. Awesome. In- credible," cired spectators young and old at the blinding, brilliant flame and earsplitting roar of the lift-off. "IT'S KIND OF awesome, when yhou think about it," said Cathy Brandt, a cousin- of Col Jack Lousma, comman- SeeONE, Page 3 Daily Photos by DEBORAH LEWI GEORGE BAYLISS (above), Art School dean, discusses with art students yesterday the possible outcomes of the recently proposed review of the school.

I i Nuclear weapons freeze campaign begins at 'U' By LISA SPECTOR With Wire Service Reports Wearing buttons depicting a dove-in- hand, workers for the Michigan Nuclear Weapons Freeze campaign kicked off a campus petition drive yesterday after- noon at the Michigan League. The drive, sponsored by LSA - *student Government and The Public Interest Research Group in Michigan, is part of a statewide effort to put a citizens' initiative to stop nuclear weapons on the November ballot. THE MEETING at the League. fetured a series of films and workshops - including movies about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and a discussion led by Dr. Art Vander, a member of The Physicians for Social Responsibility - intended to educate students about the nuclear freeze campaign. The petition drive will last through April 15, ending with a final effort at CRISP. The petition states that "nuclear weapons are a grave threat to the security of the state of Michigan," and that "the U.S. should immediately propose to the USSR a mutual and verifiable halt to production and deployment of nuclear weapons." "IT WILL BE a really strong message as far as Washington is con- cerned," said Will Hathaway, vice president of LSA-SG. The drive is "probably the most intelligent effort made (at the University) at stopping the arms build up," Hathaway added. Hathaway said he is concerned that President Reagan is using the support he has received for his economic See NUCLEAR, Page 2 Age, income not central to happiness of blacks, survey says By JASON ADKINS Levels of income and education have little to do with determining the degree of happiness and satisfaction in the lives of American blacks, according to preliminary findings of a University researcher's two-year survey of blacks. Prof. James Jackson, who conducted his study with the University's Institute for Social Research, said that although his conclusions are not final, his survey indicates that factors other than education or wealth determine how happy blacks are in America. THE STUDY, which will be published next year, also found that most blacks feel they have little influence in politics or policy-making. And only half of all 2,170 blacks interviewed for the survey said they felt their success in life See 'U' PROF, Page'3 U.S. :0 Soviet chemicals kill 10,000 WASHINGTON - The Reagan ad- ministration charged yesterday that Soviet-supplied chemical weapons have killed more than 10,000 people in Agfhanistan, Laos and Cambodia. A State Department official, Gary Crocker, said there are also reports of an unknown and unseen "mystery agent" being used against anti-Soviet rebels in Afghanistan. He said it kills so swiftly that it freezes the dead in the positions they are in when it strikes. The death toll from so-called "yellow rain" and other chemical weapons was 6,310 in Laos, 981 in Cambodia and 3,042 in Afghanistan, the State Department said in a 31-page report that sum- marizes the U.S. government's eviden- ce. Walter Stoessel, the deputy secretary of state, said the report is being sent to Congress and to the secretary-general of the United Nations and all U.N. members. "The Soviet Union and its allies are flagrantly and repeatedly violating in- ternational law and international agreements," Stoessel told reporters at a State Department briefing.

Gov. James. Brickley. Gustave Eric Jan- sson, as inmate at the Kinross Correctional Facility, said yesterday he found a qualified candidate whom he could support. Jansson was featured in a Daily story in early ding to Daniel Kaseta of Adventures in Learning, publishers of the new book. The volume is the work of Raymond Cameron, founder of the New Age Speed Lear- ning Systems, and tells how a student can save both time and money in virtually any teaching/training/learning situation, and more easily "keep abreast of this new age of knowledge explosion. Thanks to recent scientific research discoveries how to synchronize both the right and left hemispheres of the brain, a person can now increase the powers of their mind 100 percent," Kaseta claimed.
