The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, November 16, 1982-Page 5 Bishops debate criticizing U.S. nuclear arms strategy WASHINGTON (AP)- The nation's Roman Catholic bishops argued yesterday over whether to condemn American nuclear strategy, with some assailing the proposed move as under- mining resistance to Soviet aggression. But other bishops said the disputed declaration, which would preclude even a U.S. threat to use nuclear weapons, upholds Christian teaching and enhan- ces chances for peace. THE DEBATE came in the opening hours of a four-day meeting of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, most of it to focus on the draft pastoral letter over nuclear policy. "It minimizes concern for the horrible suffering of those enslaved by Communism," Archbishop Philip Han- nan of New Orleans said of the draft. "It lacks proportional recognition of the oppression and aggression of the Reds." But Archbishop John Quinn of San Francisco called it a "balanced document" of "strong and clear moral principles" that recognized the Soviet threat and need for defense but that also says a "decisive no to nuclear war." MORE THAN a year in drafting and redrafting, the planned teaching letter on peace has stirred extensive dissent in the church and criticism from U.S. administration defense officials. It condemns any first-strike use of nuclear weapons or their targeting on installations near population cen- ters-both now enunciated as necessary options in U.S. strategic planning. The document also denounces any in- tention or threat to use nuclear arms, calls for a nuclear freeze and offers only qualified support even to possessing such weapons as a deterrent, calling it tolerable only if disarmament also is being pursued. IN THE opening round of debate, Ar- chbishop Terence Cooke of New York-. said the document "has the potential of seriously dividing the church and the nation." He said it fails to point up the chur- ch's "just war" tradition and the rights of defense against aggression. Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia said the document recognizes the "har" sh realities" and necessity of defensd against tyranny, but that the "massive destruction" of nuclear weapons "ex- ceeds the right of self-defense." Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen of Seattle termed the document "in keeping with the Gospel." He called nuclear deterrence strategy the "root cause of the arms race" and "nuclear idolatry" that is "profoundly anti- Christian." The U.S. apostolic delegate, Arch- bishop Pio Laghi, representing the Pope in this country, commended the bishops for tackling the difficult issue. "It is safe to say you will encounter criticism," he said. "Indeed you have already encountered it." .mmYm.mr ...,,,,,, ,,,,,, Doily Photo by ELIZABETH SCOTT The Anderson home, built in the 1840's, features four pillars and is one of two Greek Revival houses in Ann Arbor. City home remains as it was 136 years ago Student apathy blamed for low LSA election turnout KATHLEEN FURST Ann Arbor in 1846. Long stretches of open farmland. Dirt roads leading to and from a small village. Small wooded areas within a vast coun- tryside. During that year, Major William Anderson built a small country farmhouse for his family. Today the house at 2301 Packard looks much the same as it did in the 1840s. It has been preserved and renovated throughout its 136-year history by various owners, and since last August the Anderson House has; been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. ANDERSON built a temple-style Greek Revival house with a rec- tangular block exterior featuring four pillars supporting the portico of the roof. It is one of two Greek Revival houses in Ann Arbor; the second is 'the Kemp House, located on Division Street. There is some historical evidence that the Kemps and Ander- sons were political rivals. The Michigan History Division and the State Historic Preservation Review Board nominated the Anderson House for a place - along with the Kemp House - on the National Register. "The house was chosen as one of the best examples in the state of Greek Revival homes and for its age," said the Rev. Douglas Evett, pastor of St. Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church, current owner of Anderson House. "It now generally reflects an interior and exterior style appropriate to Michigan in the 1840s." THREE generations of the Anderson Family lived in the house. In 1937, Dr. Inez Wisdom purchased it as a home for herself and a friend, Gertrude Griffith. Wisdom helped found the St. Clare Episcopal Church in 1953 by donating Done-half of the Anderson House proper- ty on which the church now stands. When Wisdom died in 1965, Griffith moved out and gave the rest of the property and the house to St. Clare. The church didn't do much with the house during the next few years, and its upkeep began to be a financial burden, according to Evett. Finally, in the spmmer of 1982, St. Clare decided to rent the house and property to Old Town Hall Realty for offices. "The house had become a financial drain on the parish because it was not generating any income," said Bruce Johnson, chairman of the committee 'that worked on registering the house. "The church wanted to insure restoration and protection without destroying the integrity of the house." OLD TOWN Realty now is respon- sible for the upkeep of the house, John- son said. Already, the company and church have financed major renovations, according to Pat Ballard, co-owner of Old Town Hall. Changes' included restoration of the woodwork and floors, addition of carpet and flourescent lights, and painting and Shoemaker-Kusko * Testing Preparation Services wallpapering, Ballard said. The original glass is still in the panes of the living room windows, and antiques were added to recreate the farmhouse atmdsphere. One of the few noticeable changes in the exterior of the house is a chimney - fireplaces weren't necessary when it was built, because stoves were used for heating. Although the realty company said it would not remove the chimney in the in- terests of historical accuracy, it will remove a shed that was added to the side of the house by one of the previous owners. The interior, which also remains largely intact, is simple but impressive. The first floor contains a kitchen with built-in cupboards, a storage room, a living room and dining room, and a small bedroom. A decorative pine bannister leads up- stairs to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms are marked by low, slanted ceilings and small windows set low in the walls. "The house is unchanged except for a few reconstructions of the wiring and plumbing," Johnson said. "There is some indication that the stairway went a different direction. Instead of coming up from the front, it looks as if it came up from the side," he said. "This sort of business, preserving an old house or converting it for another use while maintaining its appearance, is valuable for the community,"he said. "It is a piece of the last century brought forth into this century.'" (Continued from Page 1) Nevertheless, some students did vote, and each had a different reason. Markley resident Mike Shugalt said he voted because one of his friends was running for office. He added that he had no interest in the issues and thought the LSA-SG did "nothing" for students. Sophomore Jon Gould, a former student government member, disagreed, saying he thought the LSA- SG was "one of the better (student governments) in having a purpose and Everyone Runs From Something...
