WMU to require knowledge of computer functions tContinued from Page i) IN BRIEF to computer science believe such a "requirement might be a waste of time. Leonard Suransky, a University of Michigan lecturer in South African ^studies, said, "I don't feel it is necessary for a person in literature to be familiar with computer skills." But Powell, of WMU's math depar- tment, said having a computer will be just the same as having a textbook - only better. "You will be able to ask your computer questions and it will be able to tell you if your answer is right and, if you're wrong, where to look for it," he said. "It will be like a tutor. Maybe it willsay read page 23 of text for the answer. " Powell said to have some computer skills will make a student more marketable and Combs agrees. "I think most of the students minoring or majoring in English are concerned about jobs," Combs said, "so I think anything that will increase a student's marketability is going to be favorable to students." FOR UNIVERSITY of Michigan students, a computer requirement ap- pears unlikely. Charles Judge, director of LSA's counseling services and a member of the curriculum committee, said a requirement is a nice idea but an impossibility. "I certainly see the value in it, but right now we simply do not have the staff to make it a requirement," Judge said. Paul Scott, associate professor of Computers and Communications Sciences, agrees. "I doubt if we could insist on a requirement at the present moment because our computer classes are so overloaded already," he said. At WMU Powell said that only 30 per- cent of the students aren't already taking computer courses. "Since a lot of students in high school are being required to take a computer course, in a few years 90-95 percent of students coming to college will have computer literacy," Powell said. POETRY WORKSHOP by Seamus Heaney Tues. Jan. 25-Fri. Jan. 28 Application for workshop submitted to English Department, Undergrad secretary 7607 Haven Hall Deadline: Wed. Jan. 12 Applications must include: name, address, phone number and three poems For further information see Mr. Zebraun, Department of English Lost elderly couple drives in circles for nine days (Continued from Page 1) STATE POLICE Capt. Noel Oliver said Grafton and his wife "seemed con- fused about all the fuss, but they agreed to wait for relatives." "It may sound crazy," said a nephew, Melvin Grafton of Oquawka, "but we checked the odometer in the truck and it appears they drove some 4,000 miles. "We found hand-drawn maps which indicated they were in Missouri and possibly Indiana." MELVIN GRAFTON said a water dowser he identified only as a family friend from Rushville tried to locate the missing couple. The dowser tried using his forked stick, over a road map, hoping to determine the Graftons' location. "He was pretty close to their whereabouts on the map a couple of S "N' I;. a4 ENO NG p 5 ,A NGUQP \ .,. \ NG G PPS 5 . . GP*Q r. "1 S." r, r z. times," Grafton said. The couple apparently ate some meals in their Ford Bronco, but stayed in motels several nights. THE TRAVELS began Christmas Day, when the Graftons drove 40 miles south to Augusta to visit friends. They evidently forgot a present, drove home to get it and returned to Augusta. Two days later, they left Augusta and "began doing a number of things that were totally out of character for them," said the younger Grafton. "They had a routine, and they were always home before dark," said Melvin Grafton, whose uncle has farmed 1,500 acres in Henderson County for more than 40 years. The next report came Dec. 29 from state police who saw the couple in Casey, about 150 miles east of Rushville near the Indiana border in eastern Illinois. A state trooper told Oliver the couple seemed "disoriented and con- fused," but he was not aware that they were missing persons. "They were just obviously wandering about the countryside," the nephew said. "They didn't have any landmarks they recognized. They've pretty much stayed close to home in the past. "She said they were in Paducah, Ky., and Chicago during the trip," he said. "But we may just never know." notes Robbery in Summit Park A 30-year-old Hell, Michigan man was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday after- noon in Summit Park in Ann Arbor. Police said the man was walking through the park when he was ap- proached by two men in their 20s who asked for directions. The men then produced a gun and demanded the victim's watch and wallet. The thieves fled with the wat- ch and some cash from the wallet and are still at large. Woman assaulted in home Police are seeking a man on charges of second-degree sexual assault after he assaulted a 22-year-old Ann Arbor woman in her apartment Sunday night. The victim returned to her apartment in the 1200 block of E. University to find a man visiting her roommate. After the roommate had gone to bed, the man allegedly assaulted the woman. The man fled when the woman resisted the assault. Woman watches thief in dismay A 41-year-old Ann Arbor woman was robbed of some small change Tuesday afternoon, after a thief forced his way into her home in the 1500 block of Ot- tawa St. Police said the woman an- swered a knock at her door, only to have the thief push past her and into the house. The woman then stood by as the thief searched her purse for money, and finding only some spare change fled the scene. TV, computer stolen Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Civil rights leaders demand Miami police chief's resignation MIAMI- Civil rights leaders called on Miami officials yesterday to fire Police Chief Kenneth Harms, who says "hoodlums"-and not his depar- tment-were responsible for two days of rioting ignited when a Hispanic of- ficer shot a black man. "We have called for his resignation," said Ray Fauntroy, director of the Miami chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Fauntroy blamed Harms and his lack of "control over patrolmen" for last week's fatal shooting of Nevell Johnson, a resident of the Overtown slum in the shadow of downtown. "The officers in the Johnson case came off their beat uncalled and un- provoked," said Fauntroy. "Harms, as head of that organization, should bear that responsibility:" Reacting to earlier criticism of his force, Harms said "200 to 250 hoodlums" were to blame for the melee in Overtown, in which a suspected looter was killed, cars were torched and rocks and bottles thrown. "The police did not cause the riot," the police chief was quoted as saying in yesterday's Miami News. "I understand the frustration of people in the community. But there is no justification for robbing, looting and torching." U.S. officials eye failing orbit of nuclear Soviet spy satellite WASHINGTON- A Soviet spy satellite equipped with nuclear-powered radar is tumbling in orbit and may fall into the Earth's atmosphere late this month, U.S. intelligence sources said yesterday. An official Pentagon statement did not describe the satellite's trouble, but did confirm that a part of it "which we believe contains a nuclear reactor as its power supply will probably re-enter the earth's atmosphere in late January." It may not be possible to determine where the ocean surveillance satellite will come down until perhaps a dozen hours before it happens, said sources, who declined to be identified. In Kettering, England, private astronomer Geoffrey Perry, renowned for his hobby of tracking satellites, said "The Cosmos malfunctioned on Dec. 28. It split into its three component parts as normal, but instead of the nuclear reactor being raised to the 'safe' orbit at 95 kilometers (595 miles), from where it will decay naturally in the next few weeks unless the Russians are able to remedy the fault." Perry agreed with the assessment of the U.S. officials and said "it could prove very dangerous" if Cosmos 1402 crashes in an inhabited area. Texas representative resigns, voices plan to change parties BRYAN, Texas- Rep. Phil Gramm, a "Boll Weevil" Democrat whose party ousted him from the House Budget Committee, resigned his seat yesterday and said he would try to win it back in a special election as a Republican. "I recognize that my political future might, because of this action, go down into oblivion," said Gramm, 40, who was elected to his third term in Novem- ber. "I do not know whether this is a wise decision but I do believe that it is an honest one." Republican Gov. Bill Clements, who accepted Gramm's resignation, set the special election for Feb. 12. Gramm was kicked off the budget committee by the Democratic leader- ship in Congress for championing President Reagan's economic programs. Lebanese cease-fire violated TRIPOLI, Lebanon- Fierce fighting between rival Moslem militias raged into the night yesterday despite announcement of a new cease-fire. Police reported 13 more people killed, but one militia leader said the body count was much too low. In Tel Aviv, the military command reported an Israeli truck driver was kidnapped and killed south of Beirut and two soldiers wounded by a bomb in the same area. In Jerusalem, meanwhile, U.S. special envoy Morris Draper presented new ideas for breaking the impasse in the Lebanese-Israeli talks. Former Lebanese Prime Minister Rashid Karami returned to Tripoli from a one-day trip to Damascus in the early afternoon and told reporters there would be an immediate truce. He said Syrian army officers would help en- force it in the pro-Syrian Alawite Moslem neighborhood of Bal Mohsen. But shooting continued past the 3 p.m. announcement, and Lebanon's state radio said that the fighting grew fiercer after nightfall. The battles pitted fighters of the Alawite Arab Democratic Party against a Sunni Moslem coalition called the Popular Resistance Front. Police said the latest deaths raised the toll to 157 in seven weeks of fighting. Pope names 18 new cardinals VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II yesterday named 18 new cardinals including'an American, the primate of his native Poland, and the first Soviet cardinal to be publicly named while still living in the Soviet Union. The pope, speaking at the end of his weekly general audience, said the 17 Roman Catholic prelates and one Maronite patriarch will be elevated to the rank of cardinal during a special consistory at the Vatican on Feb. 2. In his address the pope said he named the cardinals from five continents to underscore the church's universal aspect.
