CALL 995-9107 for AAUP help Levin backs U.S. presence in Lebanon By BILL HANSON The presence of U.S. Marines in Beirut is helping to create a unified, pro-western Lebanon, U.S. Senator Carl Levin said yesterday. Levin was in Ann Arbor to address a convocation on Solutions to the Nuclear Arms Race at Rackham Auditorium. Afterward, he spoke to reporters for several minutes. "THEY (marines) are performing a very useful function there," Levin said. "The risk is worth it." The senator said the Marines probably will be in Beirut "quite a while longer," because their departure depends on the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon. Recent estimates indicate there are 8,000 Palestinian Liberation Organization fighters, 30,000 Syrians, and some 40,000 to 50,000 Israelis still in Lebanon. Their removal, Levin said, will be "very difficult" to achieve. ONE REPORTER asked Levin what he thought about a report charging that the Marines were oppressing Palestinian civilians in Lebanon. Daily Photo by SCOTT ZOLTON Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) speaks with reporters at the Rackham Building after addressing a crowd of 150 people at the Solutions to the Nuclear Arms Race conference yesterday. Pausing for a moment, Levin calmly replied, "I think that's pure bullshit." American troops have been in Beirut 4 since Spt. 29. Along with French and Italian troops, they make up the multinational peacekeeping force there. LEVIN WAS not about to miss yesterday's opportunity to speak out pn domestic issues, either. He said the Democratic sweep in last week's elec- tions "very definitely" affected',ifie newly proposed Republican jobs bill. "That message of Nov. 2 got to Washington with great speed," he said. The proposal would focus _On rebuilding the country's highways, bridges, dams, and sewage treatment plants. It is designed to ease 'the staggering 10.4 percent unemployeidpt rate by providing up to 200,000 new jobs. As for 'the future, Levin said he probably will seek re-election to..$ie U.S. Senate in 1984, and he's not aftywd of any battles - not even from e National Conservative Political ACtZtn Committee, .famous for going aier liberal politicans like Levin. ar survey help from the University's Institute ,for Social Research. Rita Dalton, one of the students working on the project, said she chose to do it over an individual survey "because there seems to be excess'fun- ds the city has, and they need us to find out where the funds should be spent." The students will be surveying residents of government-assisted housing about what areas most require city assistance. The surveying is scheduled to begin this week, and probably won't be finished until next semester, when the CDD will analyze the data, Ezekiel' said. Staff writer Barb Misle filed a report for this story. Councilmember 'S class gets city grant f i f P (Continuea rom rage i1) a biased report. " "I still would have approved it," he said. "I don't think U of M students will follow Rafe Ezekiel's line of reasoning." Belcher said that although he thinks Ezekiel will make a fair report, "I'll probably talk to Rafe and make sure his instructions are in the best interest of the city of Ann Arbor." LESLIE MORRIS (D-Second Ward) said that, although she had heard Ezekiel's class was conducting the sur- E SI I A ~ EVEC141E SE-IRCH 5 26I C 4( ;C~fix9 5 26 fTAN-('401 T107 vey, she didn't think it was appropriate to mention it. "I d on't really think it is supposed to make any difference (who conducts the survey)," she said. "It's not totally proper to include that , in council debate." Morris said that because Ezekiel's role as a councilmember and as a professor are "totally different . . . it would have been improper to mix the two." THE REPUBLICANS on council probably would have questioned Ezekiel's motives, Morris said, ex- plaining that "that's why I didn't say anything. Maybe they wouldn't have understood that it was an ad- ministrative study." Councilmembers are especially con- cerned about bias in the study because Policy confer (Continued from Page 1) treasury secretary to Ford, agreed that Congress has severly limited the White House's ability to formulate an effec- tive foreign policy, but suggested that the greatest problem was that frequent U.S. elections take time away from policy-making. The major focus for most of today's politicians, he said, is the "art of win- ning an election," rather than working they are split along party lines in the emphasis they place on certain areas of human services need. The Republicans say the city's chief responsibility is to alleviate immediate needs and focus on providing money to hunger and emergency housing programs. The Democrats say the city has an obligation to fund "enabling" projects such as job training and child care scholarship programs. Ezekiel said he was afraid the Republicans would think his class was conducting the survey to further Democratic ends. MEMBERS OF Ezekiel's class said they chose to do the project instead of doing individual survey projects. The students had some input into the questions asked, Ezekiel said, but most of the work was done by the CDD with 'ence ends without solutions on the problems of the nation. The result, Simon said, is a constant shifting of gears in both foreign and domestic policy, creating a shambles of the nation's economy and crippling relations with other nations. The only solution to such problems would be longer terms for both the president and members of Congress with a limit on the number of terms they could serve, Simon continued. UNIVERSITY professors Graham Hovey and John Kingdon, however, said conflicts between legislative and executive branches, while sometimes inefficient, do serve a purpose. "In general, I have always opposed attempts by Congress to propose foreign policy," said Hovey, who is a former member of The New York Times' editorial board and is now a University communications professor. ' The congress does have a role in U.S. foreign polciy, however, Hovey said, citing U.S. experiences in Viet- nam and Angola as examples of the positive force the legislature can play. Kingdon agreed for the most part, asserting the constitutional checks and balances were "designed to me usually messy" to ensure no gover- nmental branch gained too much power. Both Kingdon and Hovey suggested better cooperation between the president and Congress is essential. Our Angel Classical Se will put you on Cloud 9. Soviets seek successor n - -:, r, , .

Angel (Continued from Page 1) As they jockey among themselves for power, Andropov, Konstantin Cher- nenko and the others are unlikely to embark on new international ventures, in the view of U.S. officials. In fact, there is a strong hunch here that the Soviets may be easier to get along with - at least until one man emerges as the dominant figure in the Kremlin. "As long as the Soviet government is in a transition period, it's unlikely to take any new initiatives, either of a positive or a negative kind," a top ad- ministration official noted recently.

"You could have made a very strong argument that we were getting closer toO war," he said. But now, he said, "if the central issue in our relationship is whether we are getting closer to or further away from war, then I would say we are getting further away from war." Calm prevailed in the Soviet capital yesterday as authorities projected an image of unity and order. The official announcement of Brezhnev's death referred three times to the party's "collective" will and guidance and once to the "unshakable unity of the party." "The domestic and foreign policy of the Communist Party, formulated un- der the leadership of Leonid I. Brezhnev, will continue to be pursued consistently and purposefully," the an- nouncement said.
