High Vol. XCIII, No. 94 Copyright 1983, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, January 25, 1983 Ten Cents Eight Pages First man indicted in state for registration resistance DETROIT (UPI) - Michigan's first indicted draft resister since the Viet- nam War said yesterday he is ready to go to prison if necessary to demonstrate his belief that draft registration "works contrary to God's purpose." Daniel Rutt of Dearborn, a biology student at Hope College in Holland, Mich., also said his outspoken resistan- ce to draft resignation prompted the government to choose him - and 13 others around the country - for prosecution. "I HAVE CHOSEN not to register for the draft because I believe that is God's will," Rutt told reporters at a news con- ference. "I believe that draft registration works contrary to God's purpose.'' He is to be arraigned Feb, 3 and his sup- porters are planning a rally outside the old federal building in downtown Detroit. Asked if he is resigned to prison, he replied, "if that's where it leads." RUTT, A Methodist who was born in Haita where his father was doing alter- native service as a conscientous objec- tor, said the current registration law does not provide for alternative ser- vice. If it did, he was not sure that would be compatible with his beliefs. "I'll have to stay away from the hypothetical," he said. RUTT, HIS attorneys and other sup- porters said there was no doubt he was targeted because of his high visibility in the resistance movement.

OPEC meeting collapses GENEVA, Switzerland - An emergency OPEC meeting collapsed yesterday in disagreement over production quotas - a failure that could force down oil prices and prolong a worldwide glut. OPEC did not change its base price of $34 per barrel, several ministers said. Conference officials said the 13 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ministers, who met Sunday and again for 2% hours yesterday were unable to reach agreement on the three main issues of pricing, production quotas and price differentials for the high grade oil produced by African members. "WE COULD NOT agree on anything at all," said Mana Saeed Oteiba, the oil minister of the United Arab-Emirates. Some oil ministers said there was a consensus that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries drop its overall production ceiling by $1 million. barrels daily to 17.5 million, about the current level of production by the 13 OPEC members. But Oteiba and Saudi Arabian Oil Ministger Ahmed Zaki Yamani said there was no agreement on any point. Yamani said the meeting was a "complete failure." The possibility was left open that Saudi Arabia could carry out its implied threat to reduce its price if there was no agreement, which could touch off a series of price cuts around the world and undermine OPEC's already eroding power over prices. YAMANI SAID saudi Arabia would not cut the Saudi price without consent of other cartel members. "We don't want to start a price war," he said. International bankers fear that a sudden and large drop in prices could lead to default on billions of dollars of loans to countries such as Mexico and Venezuela which depend on oil sales for national in- 4come.a VENEZUELA IS a member of OPEC. Mexico is not, but generally follows the cartel's price guidelines.

The proposed city ordinance would require landlords to install heavier deadbolt locks on en- try doors and add secure window locks and dowel rods for sliding doors. SIXTY PERCENT of all illegal entries into residences are due to security problems such as defective locks and unlocked doors, said Ann Ar- bor Police Detective Jerry Wright. If passed, the proposed ordinance "will have an impact on crime experienced in rental units," he said. A number of landlords spoke against the proposed ordinance at last night's meeting, but the proposal's sponsor, Councilmember Lowell Peterson (D-First Ward), said landlords might benefit from its passage. According to Peterson, a member of the Com- mittee for Rape Prevention, an Ann Arbor woman sued her landlord last year after she was raped in an improperly secured home. She was awarded $170,000 settlement. THE ORDINANCE would also make houses and apartments safer for tenants, Peterson said. A similar law passed in Madison, Wis., in 1981 resulted in a 47 percent decrease in the number of rapes committed in rental units, he said. Harry Ahrens, a spokesman for State Farm Insurance, said the ordinance could provide lan- dlords with a discount of up to 5 percent on their insurance premiums. Other added security devices, such as smoke alarms, could cut in- surance rates for landlords by as much as 15 percent. The Assault Crisis Center, the Michigan Student Assembly, and the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan have all endorsed the proposed ordinance. THE SECURITY PROPOSAL would cost lan- See COUNCIL, Page 7 Integration efforts fail, minority schools prevail I WASHINGTON (UPI) - Racial segregation in the nation's schools has increased significantly over the past 15 years, a new study said yesterday in a trend education experts warn could cause serious problems within two years. The Reagan adminstration must act to halt "aggressive ostracism" of 1 minority children in schools, education experts told a news conference held to announce release of the study com- missioned by the Joint Center for Political Studies. THE REPORT, which examined trends in the 50 largest urban school districts and 44 metropolitan areas in- cluding suburbs, showed two-thirds of the students in the 10 largest school districts in 1980 belonged to minorities, and the ratio is rising rapidly. "We are being told now that 'The problems related to segregation are getting worse. We just cannot continue to become more separate and more unequal.' - Gary Orfield Professor at the University of Chicago desegregation efforts have not worked, so they are taking away what we have now ... when what we really need is more," said Gary Orfield, author of the study. The problems related to segregation are getting worse. We just cannot con- tinue to become more separate and more unequal," said Orfield, a fellow at the center and political science professor at the University of Chicago. THE HOUSE judiciary subcommit- tee on civil and constitutional rights asked the center, a private group tht studies issues of interest to blacks and other minorities, to do the study titled "School Desegregation Patterns in the States, Large Cities and Metropolitan See EDUCATION, Page 2 Cedar Pt. scouts seek talented musicians By JODY BECKER There aren't many summer jobs available for tuba players but music school junior Don Kronenberger may be in luck if he's chosen from among 100 University and Detroit area students who auditioned yesterday at the Michigan Union for the Cedar Point summer season. The University is one of several cam- puses that talent scouts for the San dusky, Ohio amusement park will visit this week in an attempt to fill the 100 posiitons available. "BASICALLY, we run a two-week scouting tour, visiting a number of college campuses and then we let them know. There are no call backs," said Marjory Cronenwett, manager of the park's Live Show department. Altogether, about 1,000 people will be screened by Cronenwett and her assistants. Voice projection, vocal or instrumen- tal ability, and poise are some of the things the scouts look for, according to Cronenwett. ALMOST ALL applicants came prepared with entensive resumes and 8x10 glossy photographs. Each ap- plicant was required to have two musical numbers prepared and those See CEDAR, Page 3 Student newspaper charges WMU KALAMAZOO (UPI) - The board of trustees at Western Michigan Univer- sity have been accused by the student newspaper of violating the state's open meetings act, officials at the Western Herald said yesterday. A spokesman at the newspaper said a lawyer had been retained and legal ac- tion is being considered. NEWSPAPER reporters charge at recent board meetings, typed news released with decisions made during the meeitngs were immediately distributed following meetings. Michael Villaire, editor-in-chief at the paper said the paper considered the action an indication of previous illegally held meetings. Newspaper officials charge three meetings were scheduled without giving previous notice. Reporters claim when they attem- pted to enter the unannounced sessions, the meetings were cancelled. Chauncey Brinn, board secretary said the open meetings act only applied to meetings where a quorum of trustees were present} Brinn added a quorum did not exist at the meetings in question. Cedar Point auditioners, Kyle Baker, Sally Jo Bannon, and Erica Wieman, anxiously await their turn in a hallway in the Michigan Union. Auditioners are hoping for a chance to perform as many as 700 shows at the giant amusement park. TODAY- Why retire? LAKE WACCAMAW, N.C., Town Clerk Jim Wayne says he sought a $7,500 salary cut to increase his take-home pay. Wayne, 65, who draws retirement benefits from his Marine Corps service as well as Social Security, said he learned that cutting his salary from $14,109 to $6,600 would increase his real income while reducing taxes.
