Page 2-Tuesday, April 12, 1983-The Michigan Daily Reagan's mideast plan still alive From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - President Reagan -has been personally assured by Jor- dan's.King Hussein and Saudi Arabia's King Fahd that his Mideast peace initiative is still alive - despite the set- back dealt by the Palestine Liberation Organization, the administration said yesterday. "We are determined to go forward with the Sept. 1 initiative," said John Hughes, the State Department spokesman. "King Hussein and King Fahd share our resolve." Hughes said Reagan had talked twice by telephone with Hussein and once with Fahd in the wake of Jordan's an- nouncement Sunday that the PLO had raised last-minute demands which tor- pedoed the plan for Hussein to enter peace talks with Israel on behalf of the Palestinians. "THE PRESIDENT ... as a result of those conversations, is confident that the process is going forward," said Hughes. "He is confident they have not given up." PLO chief Yasser Arafat and Jor- dan's King Hussein were close to a final agreement on Hussein entering the peace talks when the Palestine Liberation Organization made unac- ceptable changes in their accord, Secretary of State George Shultz said. The changes, Shultz said in a CBS "Morning News" interview yesterday, "included the notion that the PLO had to be at the bargaining table and they were back to an independent Palestinian state and those things that people have talked about." IT IS "necessary to have Palestinian representation in the peace talks, but not official members of the PLO," Shultz said. "What happened was Mr. Arafat took what he and King Hussein had agreed on to a meeting of others in the PLO and they put in some changes that are unacceptable to King Hussein and the president to (Saudi Arabia's) King Fahd and others and would, I'm sure, be an unacceptable basis for entering the peace talks with Israel," Shultz said. "Israel wouldn't sit down under those circumstances and I don't blame them." HUSSEIN BOWED out of the negotiations Sunday with a blast at Arafat, accusing him of reneging on tentative agreements "in principle and detail." Reagan blamed "radical elements" in the PLO for the break- down. IOU wins majority in MSA elections (Continued from Page 1) (Ind.), Susan Povich (IOU), and Robin Smith (IOU). The new representatives for Rackham are: Bruce Belcher (IOU), Nancy Bertaux (IOU), Michael Foley (IOU), Deborah J. Mahoney (ACT), and Robert Paley (IOU). Independent candidate Joel Mayer was elected to the Board for Student Publications. WHILE ROWLAND was optimistic over the weekend about the election of her IOU members to the student government, Soglin said yesterday, "no one expected that we would do that well." "(Our success) will definitely make it easier for MSA to voice their concerns to the administration," he said. With the membership of several students currently involved in fighting the redirection process, the new assembly "will be able to make a real good effort as far as lobbying the ad- ministration, organizing, and educating the students," Soglin said. This summer MSA will organize a committee of faculty and students to hopwooc awards lecture by maxi ne hong kingston author of the woman warrior: memoirs ofa girlhood among ghosts and china men OPEN TO THE PUBLIC seek alternatives to the redirection process. Soglin said the assembly is particularly interested in the energy conservation proposal made at last months redirection forum. PROF. BUNYAN Bryant of the School of Natural Resources suggested that the administration institute energy conservation measures to generate enough money to offset planned budget cuts. At a special meeting with MSA Sun- day night, University President Harold Shapiro said that the administration currently is looking into the energy conservation measure. Although Shapiro said at Sunday's meeting that he is dissatisfied with the redirection process and that reviews of schools for large budget cuts may end with the Schools of Art, Education, and Natural Resources. Soglin said he is ready to unite students from all of the schools on campus in protest. HE AND Rowland plan to meet with leaders from the various college gover- nements on redirection before the end of this term. In addition to redirection, minority affairs will receive a great deal of MSA's attention, Soglin said. MSA members on campus during the summer will be looking for a replacement for the black researcher hired last fall by MSA. THAT researcher, if hired on in the summer, would direct his or her efforts toward adjustment problems facing black freshmen. "That way we know how to help them in the fall," Soglin said. Next year's MSA will initiate a minority recruitment program in- volving University students and alum- ni. According to Soglin, "the recruit- ment. that is going on now is not direc- ted to many inner city schools;" He ad- ded that only a few schools such as Cass Tech and Renaissance High pre targeted by recruitment officers. Therefore, MSA's committee will target the University students who graduated from the schools that send fewer students to campus and en- courage them to recruit via MSA- organized school visits. Shapiro told the assembly that the University along with Michigan State, Wayne State, and the University of Detroit, are involved in recruitment programs at inner-city schools, but of- ten the officials of those secondary schools are not receptive to University efforts. A discussion on improving minority enrollment is scheduled for the May or June Regents meeting, Shapiro said. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Nazi bomb defused in London LONDON - A Falklands war veteran yesterday defused a ticking Luftwaffe bomb, scooped from the muddy bottom of the Thames River, in a delicate operation that left commuters jammed in traffic for hours. Maj. John Quin, of the Royal Engineers, drilled into the barnacle-encrusted bomb which, the explosives expert said, was probably dropped during the 1940-41German air attack on London. Quin spent six months last year in the Falkland Islands defusing hundreds of landmines and World War II-vintage bombs left by Argentines defeated in the 74-day-war with Britain. Crews were using a mechanical dredge Sunday night to scoop mud from the river and put the debris on a barge outside the South Bank arts complex, which includes the Royal Festival Hall and the Natonal Theater. "The chances of the bomb detonating were very small, but if it had, people would have been in danger for a 1,000-yard radius from steel splinters," Quin said. Few changes in new MX plan WASHINGTON - After struggling for months to find a politically acceptable basing system for the MX missile, a special commission recom- mended to President Reagan yesterday a plan virtually identical to one already discarded by Congress. Plying down Reagan's earlier warnings about U.S. missiles being vulnerable to Soviet attack, the panel unanimously proposed building 100 MX weapons, each armed with 10 nuclear warheads, and putting them in launch silos now holding Minuteman missiles in Wyoming and Nebraska. Accompanying that warmed-over proposal was the commission's one new idea: developing a smaller, single-warhead missile for deployment in the early 1990s. The group said that could be a cornerstone for a new approach to arms control. Aides said Reagan likely will embrace the recommendations next week, once Congress has finished battling over a nucler weapons freeze and the disputed nomination of Kenneth Adelman to head the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Canada to try bringing Amway officials to court for fraud GRAND RAPIDS -- Canadian officials have nearly completed preparations for what could be a protracted battle to haul the founders and two vice presidents of the Amway Corp. into court to face fraud charges, it was reported yesterday. "A massive" stack of documents have been compiled to support chargers filed against Amway President Richard DeVos, Chairman Jay Van Andel and Vice Presidents C. Dale Discher and William Halliday for allegedly con- spiring to defraud the Canadian government of at least $23 million in U.S. currency in duties between 1965 and 1980. The documents will soon be filed with U.S. officials as part of an attempt to bring the four - who have resisted extradition - to face charges in a Canadian court, the Grand Rapids Press reported in yesterday's edition. "The extradition materials will be filed relatively soon. We're not talking months by any means," the Press reported, quoting a Canadian source said to be familiar with the case.. Bill aims for public financing of congressional elections WASHINGTON - Nearly a decade after the public started paying for presidential election campaigns with a dollar checkoff on their income tax returns, a group of House members said yesterday it's time for the next step: public financing of congressional races. "This bill is aimed at the politics of intimidation which exists in virtually every vote on the House floor in which someone has a financial interest," Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.) said at a news conference announcing a proposed Clean Campaign Act of 1983. Obey and a bipartisan group of more than 5 House members are in- troducing the measure to counter what they said is a rapid growth of influen- ce by special interest.groups on Congress. 1% Their bill would include incentives for candidates to limit the amount of money they accept from political action committees and the amounts that wealthy office seekers give to their own campaigns. "We believe this will preserve the floor of the House as the people's arena in the political system of this country," Obey said. "That, above all playing fields, is supposed to be on the level." Obey said there was no estimate of how much it would cost to extend public financing to House campaigns, but that he belived the dollar checkoff on tax forms would not have to be changed. "I used to think we couldn't afford it," Rep. Dan Glickman (D-Kan.), said. "Now I think we can't afford not to have it." Dixie rivers begin to recede NEW ORLEANS - High water from rain-swollen rivers that deluged the South the past wek began to recede yesterday but remained high enough to require beefing up of sandbagging. Additional rain was expected to blow in from the Gulf of Mexico tomorrow. Six people died in Mississippi, four in Louisiana and two in Tennessee during last weeks flash flooding. The downpour forced more than 30,000 people to flee from their homes and affected more than 100,000 residents. The Pearl River, which crested at almost twice its flood stage Sunday, drenched homes in southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi, forcing 3,500 residents to abandon their homes in the hard-hit Slidell, La., area. State officials estimated flood damage had reached $400 million in Mississippi and Louisiana, and the toll was expected to go higher. Federal inspection teams Monday began surveying the widespread flood damage.
