Vol. XCIU, No. 145 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, April 3, 1982 Ten Cents TenPaiges MSA presidential hopefuls reveal party platforms By GEORGE ADAMS Candidates from three campus political parties are com- peting for the Michigan Student Assembly presidency in elec- tions to be held next week. The list of parties includes two newly-formed groups-the British Humor Party and Voice-which are attempting to oust the People's Action Coalition from the MSA presidency it has held for the past two years. EIGHTY-TWO candidates are running for the 37 seats on the assembly, the campus-wide student government. Twen- ty-seven of the candidates are independents, while the remaining 55 belong to one of the three parties. No indepen- dent candidates are running for president. PAC is the largest of the three with 29 candidates. PAC candidates are running unopposed in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health. Voice is the next largest party with 19 candidates, including an unopposed candidate in the School of Dentistry. The smallest of the parties is the British Humour Party, which will have seven candidates on the ballot. No candidates are running for seats in the Schools of Ar- chitecture and Urban Planning, Education, Library Science, and Music. Also, there will be only a write-in candidate for the position on the Board for Student Publications, because the original candidate was disqualified. British Humour Party BHP presidential candidate Duane Kuizema wants to bring "student government back down to the student level" and wants MSA to spend its time and money on issues that effect students more directly. Kuizema and his running-mate, George DeMuth, say their number-one priority if elected would be improving campus security. TO FIGHT security problems, they have proposed creating a student force to work in cooperation with the present security staff. They think people in the group could be paid either through work-study programs or by the revenues from a registration tax on students. Kuizema criticized the current MSA administration for ac- tions he feels don't really help students. "MSA spends too much time and money on issues away from students. They should concentrate on things that effect students directly," he said. "For instance," he continued, "I don't see the benefit to most students from a bus ride to Washington with the Latin- American Solidarity Committee. They could have put the same effort into something like financial aid, and students would have benefited more."

The government claimed the South Atlantic islands' governor "surrendered uncon- ditionally." "The Argentine flag flies again in the Malvinas. Mission accomplished," the, communique said. Jubilant Argentines cheered, waved flags, tooted horns and sounded sirens. Church bells pealed. A BRITISH reporter who was in the Falkland Islands when Argentine troops invaded said the attack "hap- pened so quickly that everyone was stunned." "They had gone to bed British and woken up Argentine" said William rolony Langley, a London Daily Mail reporter who was in Port Stanley, the capital of the South Atlantic islands held by Britain for 149 years. He said the Argentine troops quickly overcame the small force of British marines and claimed the territory. About 1,800 people, mostly sheep far- mers of British descent, live on the bleak islands, about 250 miles off the Argentine coast. "THERE WAS a lot of noise and shooting in the pre-dawn darkness on the outskirs of Port Stanley, but whatever resistance there was from the 80 Royal .Marines here, it did not last long," Langley said. See FALKLAND, Page 7 By NATHANIEL WARSHAY They've been walking across the country since last Oct- ober - starting off from San Francisco and stopping in Denver, Wounded Knee, DeMoines, Chicago, Kalamazoo, and' every place in between - in support of nuclear- disarmament. And yesterday, 15 "hard core"~participan- ts in the March for World Peace passed through Ann Ar- bor. The group left San Francisco on United Nations Day, Oct. 24, and its members plan to arrive at the United Nations on June 7, at the start of the U.N.'s Second Special Session on Disarmament. ALTHOUGH THE march will end in June, the peace movement will not be over, according to Marty Smith, one of the marchers who has been on the trek since its begining. "There is no 'organization' in the peace movement. It's a spiritual expression," Smith said.

Incumbent Republican Joyce city elections '82 Chesbrough will be challenged in the April 5 election by Democrat Katherine Edgren to represent the downtown ward on City Council. CHESBROUGH, 50, said that if she is elected for another term, her first priority will be long-term planning for improvement of the city's streets and utilities. "My main thrust is that people pay high taxes, and I think they want to see good public works," she said. Other goals include establishing a city-wide recycling program, and a downtown development plan.

The Michigan Student Assembly's Course and Instructor Evaluation Guide (formerly known as Course Encounters), has hit campus, complete with its faculty honors and probation list. David Kuehn, project coordinator of MSA's Course Evaluation Committee, defends the guide's ac- curacy. "I think they (the evaluations) are accurate within statistical average because it is a random sample," he said. Kuehn admitted it would help if more students filled Kuehn said. He added that the committee is also con- sidering providing monetary awards for professors who are rated highly. C And you thought Ma Bell was bad After waiting 13 years, a 63-year-old man has given up hope of getting a telephone installed at home and has asked the telephone company to put one in his grave instead. The Daily Milliyet reported that Ahmet Derehoy of Istanbul, Turkey first made his application for a telephone to the postal authority, which handles such requests, 13 years ago. He was given a number-but no phone-and told to wait his Esch's house to present him with a 3,000 signature petition urging the ex-president's impeachment.
