Vol. XCIII, No. 68 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigon-Wednesday, December 1, 1982 Ten Cents Eight Pages MSU men charged in dorm rape EAST LANSING (UPI)- Six Michigan State University students, one of them a para-professional counselor for minority students, are being held on charges they raped an MSU student at a dormitory party. A seventh man, a student at Ferris State College, also has been charged in the Nov. 21 incident. THE VICTIM said one of the men called her and invited her to a party Nov. 21. Upon arriving and discovering she was the only woman there, she tried to leave but was unable to, the woman said. She said the men removed her clothing and raped her one at a time. She said after the third assault she was too ired to resist. THE MSU campus police said they learned of the assault from officials at Lansing's Sparrow Hospital where the woman went for treatment. Charged with one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct is Vincent Lewis; 22, of Detroit, a minority aide at MSU. James Stider, assistant vice president for student af- fairs, said minority aides are students selected as para- professional counselors to provide personal counseling for black students. THE AIDES are selected from a field of applicants ased on their leadership qualities and academic achievement, he said. Vincent was the aide responsible for minority students in Emmons Hall, where the rape allegedly occurred. Officials said his alleged role in the incident is under in- vestigation. THE MSU students were arraigned in East Lansing District Court Monday and demanded preliminary examination on the charges. They were then sent to the Ingham County Jail when, they were unable to post $10,000 bond on each count again- st them. Charged with one count of criminal sexual conduct are Previn Dixon, 18, of Detroit; Marc Seay, 18, of Pontiac; David Duren, 18, of Detroit and Anthony Batiste, 18, of Detroit. Charged with two counts are Kevin Smith, 19, of Detroit and Anthony Jemison, 19, of Big Rapids, a stu- dent at Ferris State. Reagan to back off on early tax break Carved in stone Daily Photo by TOD WOOLF The newly-poured concrete of a sidewalk near the Diag gives Mario Olmos the perfect opportunity to create a lasting impression on the campus. Scorning the labels "vandalism" and "art," Olmos describes his work as a "psychological experiment." Ke ned y to announce he won' run in 1984 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan, facing stiff congressional opposition and fear- ful of losing next year's tax cut completely, abandoned his inten- tion yesterday of asking Congress to move up the date of the reduc- tion from July to January. After meeting with Republican congressional leaders Reagan said "We're no going to make a push" for moving up the scheduled tax cut. Instead, he said, he will con- centrate on resisting anticipated efforts to delay or even cancel the 10 percent tax rate reduction. "WE AGREED that our most important objective for this final session is to protect the cuts that are already in place," Reagan said shortly before departing for a five- day trip to Latin America. Asked if he thought his third-year cut can be preserved, Reagan replied, "I think it can be saved; I'm sure of it." In addition to saving the tax cut, the president said the Republican leadership agreed major GOP priorities in the current lame-duck Congress should be to complete ac- tion on 10 outstanding ap- propriations bills, passage of a bipartisan $5.5 billion plan to finance highway, bridge and tran- sit repairs through a nickel-a- gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax and his enterprise zone legislation that would provide tax incentives for industry to locate in depressed inner city areas. "Our tax program, along with the highway program, the enter- prise zone initiative and our efforts to hold down spending are essen- tial to restoring a healthy America," Reagan said. He said the highway construc- tion bill would "stimulate several hundred thousand new jobs in the hard-hit construction and related industries." THE president said he was op- posed to another $5 billion- job- creating program proposed Mon- day by House Democratic leaders. "By the time that got into place, it would ignore all the things that are happening to the economy and it would be self-defeating," he said of the Democrats' plan. Reagan listed several other "pieces of unfinished business" he wants Congress to address, in- cluding his controversial MX missile program, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, the Clean Air Act, See REAGAN, Page 2 BOSTON (UPI)- Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) plans to an- nounce today that he will not run for president in 1984, it was reported yesterday. The Boston Globe, in a story for today's editions, said sources close to the Massachusetts senator divulged that he will hold a news conference in Washington to an- nounce his decision. THE NEWSPAPER said indica- tions were that Kennedy has decided against running, and that his decision is final. Ten years ago, Kennedy made a surprise announcement that he would not run for the presidency in 1976. His reasons then are the same now, the Globe said-concern for his family and consideration of the political climate. THE GLOBE said Kennedy was advised not to run by family mem- bers he met with over the Thanksgiving holiday at Squaw Island on Cape Cod and political associates whose counsel he values most. The advice he received from associates was that his chances of being elected president were not good, the newspaper said. A source indicated that Kennedy's three children were not in favor of his run- ning. "There are three decisive votes there," the source said, referring to the Kennedy children, Edward Jr., Karl, and Patrick. "And right now I don't think he has a majority. I'm not sure he has even one vote.' "And if they don't want him to run, he will not do it," the source said. Students, faculty to debate new directions for 'U' Reagan attacks 0 0 By BILL SPINDLE The Five Year Plan administrators tre using to size down the University in the face of its shrinking budget will un- dergo public scrutiny tomorrow night in an open forum at Rackham Am- phitheatre. The goals and priorities set by the University to shape its future will be debated publicly for the first time since the plan went into effect last February. AT THE forum, a panel of students, faculty, and administrative leaders will explain priorities already determined in the areas of teaching, research, and financial aid, according to Michigan Student Assembly President Amy Moore. Judge *bans press from--KGB jyti spytrial The panel will also introduce alter- nate avenues for the University to pur- sue, Moore said. The discussion is mainly intended to spark debate among those attending, Moore said. "The whole thrust of this is for public comment," she said. "It's a listening thing (for the panel) more than anything else." THIS IS the first time the decision makers will be able to respond to suggestions and criticism of the plan at an open forum, although the plan has been in effect almost a year, and one unit has already been closed, Moore said. The five year plan is the University's strategy to selectively cut or close schools and units that aren't perfor- ming up to par, and channel the saved money into areas the University wants to excel in. Opening the forum, Vice Iresident for Academic Affairs Billy Frye will discuss the priorities he put forth last February, including improving faculty salaries, increasing financial aid for graduate students, stimulating new areas of research, and improving un- dergraduate teaching. In her portion of the discussion, Moore said she will propose holding down tuition rates as a high priority for the future. Students have been hit with tuition hikes double the inflation rate for the last several years. She said she will also urge University decision-makers to give more weight to financial aid for undergraduates, she said. The forum begins at 8:00 p.m. increasing l+,g Cuban aggression WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan set out yesterday for a four- nation tour of Latin America with a vow to "help the actual and potential vic- tims of Soviet-abetted, Cuban-inspired attacks in the region." Reagan's first stop was Brazil, followed by visits to Colombia and then e2 the troubled Central America region, where, he contended, Fidel Castro's Cuba "has become more and more a Soviet satellite and a willing conduit for advancing aggressive Communism." The president's remarks about Cuba were contained in written answers he gave to questions submitted by Latin American newspapers. The White House released the comments at the start of the trip. Reagan said Cuba, "by its support for amed violence and subversion against its neighbors, is indeed a threat to the peace of the Americas. Were it not for the Soviet Union, which gives massive aid in the form of arms and money - $3 billion to $4 billion this year alone - Cuba could not afford to do what it is doing." LONDON (AP) - The judge trying Canadian Professor Hugh George Hambleton on charges of spying for the Soviet Union ordered the court into closed session yesterday as prosecutors detailed the harm the former NATO of- ficial allegedly did to the 15-nation Western alliance. Before press and public were evicted, the prosecution said Hambleton gave photographs of more than 80 top-secret NATO documents to Soviet agents in Paris while working as a NATO economist from 1956 to 1961. ATTORNEY General Sir Michael Havers told the court Hambleton con- fessed to police that he got weekly radio instructions from the KGB, the Soviet secret police with whom he said he had a "sense of belonging." The documents he gave the Soviets had NATO's "Cosmic" classification, meaning disclosure would result in "exceptionally grave damage" to the military alliance, the attorney general said.
