"......... By BILL SPINDLE Fifty faculty members have urged the University to obey state law and pull out all investments of companies operating in South Africa. The state recently passed a law or- derding all state-supported universities to divest from companies with holdings in the Apartheid nation. But the University's top legal coun- sel, has challenged the law's con- stitutionality saying it gives the legislature too much control over University investment. The Regents, however, could decide as early as March whether to obey the law and divest, challenge it in court, or keep the present investment policy and wait and see what action the state will take. The letter accuses University officers and Regents of ignoring "a strong sent- iment for divestment from South Africa" on campus. "Now the representatives of the people of Michigan and its Governor have sent the leaders of the University the same message - to divest," the letter reads The letter also argues that divesting can be helpful to Michigan since several companies with holdings in South Africa have diverted production to South Africa to pay workers lower salaries. "The issue is to say yes to equality, yest to democracy in South Africa, and no to racism," the letter reads. - ~ .................~... . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ................ ~ -~~ ~ ~~~~ ~.... ... ........... . . . . . . . . .-.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ....... ....... . ..... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...... . Abduction attempt fails (Continued from Page r) side of Thano's. He got out and hit the woman in the face several times. A pizza delivery man, Larry Schroeder, saw the incident and stop- ped to help. "At first I thought it was a domestic squabble, but not the way he was beating her up," said Schroeder. THE DRIVER told Schroeder he had a gun and would shoot the woman if Schroeder didn't leave immediately. The woman continued to fight. The man then got back into his car and left. Schroeder was able to get the license plate number and call police. Oxford Housing Resident Director Kermit Wies said that some sort of escort service might come out of the abduction incident. "I'm sure at the next staff meeting we will discuss it (an escort service) but I wouldn't be sur- prised if something like that came out of it," he said. Wies added that the co- op already has a buddy system which is seldom used. 764-0558 764-0558 AP Photo Honest Abe?

Study says beer might help heart CHICAGO (AP) - Drinking three beers a day may give an inactive per- son as much protection against heart disease as running gives to marathoners, a new study suggests. In a Baylor College of Medicine study, 16 marathon runners, 15 joggers and 13 inactive men were taken off liquor for three weeks. For the next three weeks, each drank three, 12- ounce beers daily, according to a report in today's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The idea was to measure the par- ticipants' levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, known as HDLC, which some studies have in- dicated protects against heart disease.
