Page 2-Saturday, April 3, 1982-The Michigan Daily Reagan eases 'secret' title WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan signed an executive order yesterday that makes it easier for officials to stamp documents secret, reversing a 30- year trend of giving the public more access to gover- nnient files. ."it is essential for our citizens to be informed about their government's activities, but it is also essential to: protect certain sensitive information when di$closure could harm the security of all our citizens," Reagan said in a statement accompanying the order. THE ORDER REPLACES one signed by President Carter in 1978 that added new restrictions on use of th@ government secrecy stamp and insisted that secrecy be specifically balanced against the public's right to know. The Reagan order, which has gone through several drafts over the past year, has been criticized by jour- nalists and civil libertarians as granting government officials too much power to withhold information from the public. The Reagan order allows classification of documents even if possible damage to national security is not identifiable, and no longer requires of- ficials to determine whether public interest in the disclosure outweighs the damage to national security that might result. THE REAGAN ORDER also drops Carter's requirement that classified documents be reviewed after six years and creates a new area of classification for documents on "the vulnerabilities or capabilities of systems, installations, projects or plans that relate to the national security," critics claim this provision amounts to a "blank check" for the government to keep documents secret. Unlike a previous draft, the order signed by Reagan keeps Carter's requirement that classified documents be marked section by section as to their sensitivity. Earlier drafts of the order had allowed entire documents to be classified even if only parts contained sensitive information. The final order also backed off a proposal that would have required documents to be classified at the highest possible level even if there was reasonable doubt about the need to keep the document secret. The order states that in such cases, the documents should be safeguarded as if classified for 30 days, while an appropriate official determines what secrecy classification to apply. MSA presidential hopefuls reveal party (Continued from Page 1) research that would lead directly to the loss of human life. The British Humour candidates would like to implement a teaching assistant training program. The party's candidate says that the qualifications required to obtain a TA position are too lax. Teaching quality, according to Kuizema, falls due to this. BHP candidates say their slogan "Serious Government with a smile" expla'ins a great deal about their ap- proach to student government. "Everyone is too tense," Kuizema said, "and we hope to do everything they're doing now, but with a lot less tension." As part of their program, the group promises free Monty Python films on campus if they win. Although the party has pledged that MSA funds will not be used for the movies, they are not sure how they will fund the program. "We'll hold bake sales in the Fishbowl or something," said Kuizema. "We'll think of something." The seven members of BHP all live in Markley Hall, and are all newcomers to student government. Some of the mem- bers have worked on their dormitory governments and on various MSA committees. Voice Another new party formed this year is the Voice party, headed by presiden- tial candidate Amy Moore and vice- presidential candidate Stephon John- son. "Voice says it all," said Moore, referring to her party's goals in student government. "Student participation is important. We're not going to be an elite group, and we won't turn down support; right now MSA needs sup- port," she said. THE PARTY'S platform centers around four key issues, although the members say they want to address many other problems. The four issues are financial aid, campus security, minority affairs, and the redirection of the University's budget priorities. They also place MSA communications, and military research high on their list of priorities. Regarding financial aid, Voice stresses pressure on government, but also the formulation of alternative plans if the Reagan administration's cuts do go through. "We have to keep up the pressure on Washington and Lansing-that's good- but what if the cuts go through? What do we do for the students who can't come back?" Moore said. Moore proposes a referral service for students who are hurt by financial aid cuts to alleviate the problem. The service would inform these students of the possible available alternatives, such as scholarships and work opportunities. VOICE SAYS communication on these issues is lacking. They propose to inform parents, students, and high school students about the cuts, and urge them to protest. They are in favor of this year's MSA ballot proposal, which will poll students about placing a fifty cent tax on all football and basketball tickets, the money from this to be used to increase financial aid to students.- Another major area of concern for Voice is campus security. "If you're going to stay in school, you may as well be safe," Moore said. They plan to fur- nish a map showing where street crimes occur most often. Moore said that she would push the University to do repairs on the campus lighting system, which she said had been neglected. She also said she has plans for a counseling and referral ser- vice, increased cooperation with Safe House, increased bus service, and im- proved communication with the Ann Arbor police to aid in campus safety. VICE presidential candidate Stephon Johnson will lead Voice's minority af- fairs efforts. According to Johnson and Moore, the problems are basically recruitment and retainment of minority students, especially black students. "The University is just not a fun place," Johnson said, referring to the problem faced by many black students. "There really aren't any programs for blacks," added Moore. To increase minority recruitment ef- forts, Voice suggests sending ad- ministrators and students into high schools with a high minority population. Also, they propose sending cards to minority students already here requesting names of minority students that they might know. To aid in the retention of minority students; Voice will try to run an num- ber of awareness workshops on minority affairs. Moore said a workshop recently held by the LSA Student Government would serve as an example. "We have to answer their needs," she said, "We have to find out why they're dropping out and why they're not happy here." ~urriolitp IEtUEE0 FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 1432 Washtenaw Ave.-662-4466 Service of Worship : Sunday 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. College Students Fellowship Sunday 11:00a.m. Wednesday: Holy Communion, 10:00 P . .

Anri 4: "Hev- That's MY Donkey!" platforms Another element of the Voice plat- form concerns the redirection of the University. Voice will insist on formal student involvement at every stage or the retrenchment process. Amy Moore said that a few people know exactly what the specifics of the ad- ministration's proposals are. BECAUSE NOTHING as yet has been proposed to reduce enrollment, Voice sees a problem of overcrowding stem- ming from the redirection plan. To get the student involvement they want, Voice will press for an amen- dment to the Regents guidelines that would require formal student in- volvement in the administration's review committees. Voice also stresses that current guidelines prohibiting research that leads directly to the destruction of human life be upheld, and in fact should be restated by President Shapiro and the Regents. Voice would also like to see these guidelines applied to all research on campus. People's Action Coalition One of the most powerful campus political parties is the People's Action Coalition. Not only are the current MSA president and vice president frem that party, but 29 candidates are running for seats on MSA under the party banner. Dave Guttchen is their presidential nomination, while Ruse Fischer, currently a Nursing School MSA representative, has been nominated by PAC as the vice president. THE PAC PLATFORM concentrates on budget cuts, redirection, financial aid, minority affairs, campus security, and the presence of military research. Unlike ' Voice, PAC spokesmen refuse to rank the issues in order or priority, stating that they are all equally impor- tant. PAC is critical of what they see as the reduction or elimination of programs on the grounds of short-term financial considerations only. These reductions, eliminations, in the view of PAC presidential prospect Guttchen, pose a serious threat to the quality of teaching. PAC intends to work with the faculty to help develop a process involving both groups in the redistribution process. PAC said it wants to strenthen student organizations through the formation of an organization whose members would be members of the University's college and dormitory governments. This organization, they say, would provide a unified front for communication and action. This strengthened student in- volvement would then be channelled to various student concerns. THE FIRST of these would be to hold the University to its committment regarding student participation in the program reviews. 'The students have to be involved. This is a public in- stitution and we simply have to be in- volved," Guttchen said. Educating the University community about the consequences of reallocations is the second part of the party's plans to fight the Five-Year Plan for reallocation. This education will be done, according to PAC, through a series of regular public meetings and forums. Financial aid is also a major concern of the PAC candidates. They said their primary focus in this area will be durin g the 1982 congressional and guber- natorial elections. Researching specific Congressmen about their sup- port for higher education will help MSA actively endorse or reject various can- didates. Increased student voter tur- nout is one of PAC's major goals. TO HELP relieve the immediate financial burden to students, PAC sup- ports the ticket tax ballot proposal, which could bring in as much as $450,000 dollars directed toward finan- cial aid. Pack plans to also continue the letter-writing campaigns and personal visits with legislators begun by the current MSA. They also plan to promote high media exposure on the issue. PAC has also presented specific programs to improve cam'pus security. They propose to promote the con- tinuation of Night-Ride past its one- year trial, work to provide the Univer- sity campus with an extensive emergency telephone service, increase lighting on campus, support the Night Owl bus service, formulate a work- 'IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Brutal spring storm hits West One of the most brutal spring storms on record bombarded the West- killing as many as 14 people and dumping mountains of snow on northern California before fanning into the Rockies yesterday. The East and Gulf coasts were rocked by winds that ripped buildings from the ground. A spring blizzard described as the worst in a generation dumped almost 13 feet of snow on California's high Sierra between Sunday and Thursday and torrential rains away from the mountains. More storms were forecast. Seven inches of snow socked Alta, Utah, Thursday night and snow and hish winds created blizzard conditions from Arizona to Montana. Winds at Flagstaff, Ariz., peaked at 45 mph and warnings were posted over the Colorado foothills for winds gusting to 90 mph. Salvadoran rally backs junta SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador- El Salvador's Christian Democratic par- ty called a mass rally yesterday to back junta President Jose Napoleon Duarte in his bitter struggle with extreme right parties for control of a new government. The centrist Christian Democrats, led by Jose Napoleon Duarte, finished first with 40 percent of the popular vote in last Sunday's election, but fell short of a majority in the Constituent Assembly that is to name an interim president to take over from the military-civilian junta and prepare for general elections. The Christian Democrats, who insist that no workable government can be formed without them, called their supporters to a "great meeting of the '82 victory" yesterday in the downtown's Plaza Libertad. Roberto D'Aubuisson, leader of the far-right National Republican Alliance that finished second in the vote count, reiterated at a news conference that rightists are willing to talk to the Christian Democrats to "share the destinies of our country. Poll shows Americans oppose U.S. military in El Salvador NEW YORK- Americans who know the United States supports the gover- nment of El Salvador oppose having military advisers there or sending com- bat troops or more economic aid to that country, according to the latest Associated Press-NBA News poll. Among the respondents who know the United States supports the Salvador junta: " 85 percent said that they would oppose sending U.S. combat troops to fight the insurgents opposing the government of El Salvador, while 12 per- cent said they would favor sending U.S. troops to fight in El Salvador and 3 percent were not sure; " 62 percent said that they oppose having U.S. military advisers in El Salvador, while 34 percent said they support having military advisers in El Salvador and 4 percent were not sure; " 66 percent said that they oppose the United States increasing its economic aid to El Salvador, while 24 percent said they favor more aid and 10 percent said they are not sure. Israelis disrupt Arabic press JERUSALEM- Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are threatened with the loss of their main source of news because of a new dispute between Israeli authorities and the heavily censored Arabic press. Occupation authorities have disrupted distribution of the papers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since editors of two of the three daily Arabic newspapers refused to accept the conditions of new distribution licenses. The old licenses expired March 31. The editors said the new permits empower Israeli authorities to block distribution of newspapers even after they have been approved by the military censorship office. They must be renewed every three months, in- stead of annually as in the past. An army spokesman confirmed the new licenses would be valid for the shorter period, but said that was the only change. "The Israelis are trying to intimidate us not, to write.,anything, to be passive and not print anything critical about the occupation," said Hanna Siniora, editor of the daily Al Fajr.
