4 Page 2-Thursday, January 13, 1983-The Michigan Daily Rostow out in major Reagan team shake-up IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - Eugene Rostow, director of the embattled U.S. Aris Control and Disarmament Agency, resigned yesterday under pressure from the White House and a small group of conservative Republican senators. Congressional sources said President Reagan would nominate Kenneth Adelman, deputy to U.N. ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, to take Rostow's place. rThere was no immediate comment from the White House. ROSTOW, 69, a veteran of Washington power struggles, issued a sharply worded statement that implied Reagan had forced his ouster. In it, Rostow said "in recent days it has become clear that the president wished to make changes." The resignation, third by a major administration official in two weeks, came amid mounting confusion about Reagan's objectives in ongoing arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union and sometimes conflicting stan- ds by Rostow and other principal of- ficials. For months, Rostow has been the target of sniping from conservative Republican senators who did not view him as sufficiently hard-line and suc- ceeded in torpoedoing the nominations of his deputy and one of his chief assistants. A CONSERVATIVE Democrat who served as undersecretary of state in the Johnson administration, Rostow also did not get along with the White House national security staff, which resented Art school (Continued from Page 1) member of the Budget Priorities Com- mittee, said cuts above that level were "unrealistic" and probably would not be considered by the committee.. A REDUCTION OF 15 percent would require some drastic cost-cutting measures, including possible layoffs of tenured faculty, Bayliss said. Attempts to lay off tenured faculty at other universities around the country have resulted in long, complex lawsuits. The report, however, maintains the school could absorb a 15 percent cut without firing tenured professors. Gordon said a "fair" number of art school professors were expected to retire over the next several years. If enough retire, Gordon said, it may make layoffs unnecessary. GIVEN A 15 percent cut, the school would probably have to eliminate several fields of study, in addition to firing professors, Bayliss said. The faculty would decide which areas would be cut first, he said. But eliminating certain fields of study would be difficult because unlike most other schools on campus, the art school is not divided into departments and programs, Bayliss said. "We are not divisible," he said. "If (the school) were divided into parts, then it would be easier to think in those terms of reduction, but we're not." A 15 PERCENT cut also could cripple the school's ability to solicit gifts from its alumni and other outsiders, Bayliss said. "Alumni are looking for symbols of support for the school., "The (art school) building is like that and it has built spirit among our alum- ni," he said. "We. would have trouble Reagan nominates second 4 R ostow ... Reagan wanted changes his interference in decisions outside the sphere of arms control. At the same time, one of Rostow's top negotiators, Richard Starr, also was stepping down, according to the congressional sources, who asked not to be named. Starr, based in Vienna, was in charge of negotiations to reduce NATO and Warsaw Pact ground forces in Europe. He was summoned home in recent days amid reports that he would be disciplined for making unauthorized public statements about the progress of those talks. may be cut (raising money). I think the alumni would look at (a cut) as a distinct disadvantage to the school." Gordon, however, claimed alumni would respond to the school's crisis by donating more money. "It seems that the hard times of education have been responded to by alumni, it won't han- dicap them much,"he said. To absorb a 10 or 15 percent cut, the panel suggested increasing the number of class hours taught by teaching assistants and expanding its visiting professor program to replace part of a reduced faculty. THE PANEL recommended that studio courses be taught by professors for only half of the class time. A teaching assistant would take over the class after the professor left. This would double teaching time for TAs, while faculty would be spending half as much time in the studio. Curren- tly, only about half of the school's 26 graduate students are teaching assistants. But Bayliss said the unique nature of the school made it impractical to have TAs teaching studio classes. "Our basic courses are not the same basic courses as in LSA. We feel beginning courses are the toughest classes to teach and we have always tried to have senior faculty teaching them," he said. Expanding the art school's visiting professor program was one area in which Bayliss and the review commit- tee agreed. "We should have visitors so our students have exposure to a con- tinuing stream of new faces and new ideas," he said. IF THE Budget Priorities Committee accepts the report, it will make a final recommendation to Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye. Frye will then meet with other University ad- ministrators to make a decision on the proposed cut. Both Frye and President Harold Shapiro declined to comment on the report, saying they hadn't had a chance to review it carefully. woman in week for cabinet post WASHINGTON - President Reagan yesterday nominated former Rep. Margaret Heckler to the secretary of health and human services - the third woman with Cabinet rank in his administration - after Richard Schweiker resigned to head a lobbyist group. Mrs. Heckler, who was defeated in a bid for a ninth congressional term from Massachusetts last November, described the new job as "the hardest assignment in Washington."~ "You have offered me the greatest challenge of my life," she said to the president in a White House ceremony also attended by Schweiker, the fourth member of Reagan's original Cabinet to resign. Mrs. Heckler, 51, is the second woman named to the Cabinet in a week, following Reagan's choice of Elizabeth Hanford Dole to head the Transpor- tation Department. Jeane Kirkpatrick holds a Cabinet-level post as delegate to the United Nations. Reagan ups pressure on Israel TEL AVIV, Israel - President Reagan was reported stepping up pressure on Israel yesterday to break the impasse in the Lebanese negotiations, and some accounts said he was considering postponing Prime Minister Menachem Begin's visit to Washington. Presidential envoy Philip Habib met yesterday with the U.S. negotiating team in Jerusalem. Israeli news reports said he carried a message from Reagan demanding that negotiations be speeded up. The reports quoted unidentified American sources in Washington as saying Begin's plans to visit Reagan may be postponed if there is no progress on solving the Lebanon crisis. Begin's spokesman denied the reports. There was no comment from U.S. officials. El Salvador president says military crisis is over SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - President Alvaro Magana announced an abrupt end yesterday to El Salvador's military crisis, shortly after rebellious army commander Col Sigifredo Ochoa Perez flew to the capital to see his injured wife. Magana said Ochoa's mutiny was over and the officer had abandoned his post as ordered. There was no immediate word from Ochoa, whose six-day mutiny threatened to deeply split the armed forces in this civil war-torn nation. The popular commander of some 1,000 troops in Cabanas province rebelled last Thursday night when Defense Minister Gen. Jose Guillermo Garcia ordered his transfer to'Uruguay as a military attache at the Salvadoran embassy. Magna told a news conference the order for Ochoa to abandon his post had been carried out "because Ochoa is no longer in Cabanas," a province 5 miles norltheast of San Salvador. But he said Ochoa would not go to Uruguay, "for reasons independent of this problem." He said Ochoa was not under arrest, but did not say where Reporter expelled from Poland WARSAW, Poland - The Polish government has ordered the expulsion of United Press International correspondent Ruth Gruber, who was detained questioned fob 23 hours before her release yesterday evening. The official news agency PAP carried a report of the expulsion order, saying it was connected with alleged collection of information on Polish military facilities. Miss Gruber, 33, who denied an involvement in espionage, said the PAP report was the first official word she had of the expulsion. The correspondent's Polish secretary was picked up Tuesday and was still detained yesterday night, according to Polish television. Speaking to reporters after her release but before the expulsion order, Miss Gruber described her detention as a "nightmare." She said she was questioned for seven or eight hours Tuesday evening and yesterday morning about a set of photographs allegedly addressed to her and including pictures of military installations. She said she had denied any knowledge of the film or its origin. Economy brings poor Christmas selling season WASHINGTON - U.S. retail sales dropped 0.4 percent last month in a lackluster Christmas selling season, the government said yesterday. And a separate survey showed that executives, still uncertain about economic recovery, are planning to cut back spending on expansion and modernization for a second straight year. The sales decline from November was clearly due to the expected slackening in car sales after November's robust performance. Overall sales are expected to rise at a moderate pace in coming months, helping, though hardly leading, the expected economic recovery. However, if business executives hold capital spending to the levels in- dicated in the separate Commerce Department survey, it will mean such, spending will provide little, if any, help in pulling the nation out of the long recession. Commerce's sales report said overall retail sales dropped to a seasonally adjusted $92.3 billion in December after surging upward by 2.6 percent in November. The figures were adjusted to discount the fact that sales always shoot up during the Christmas season. . However, both November and December actually would have shown moderate gains - 0.4 percent and 0.5 percent - if volatile auto sales were ex- cluded. Analysts said special car-financing deals led to the big November increase, and December's figures looked bad only by comparison.
