175 marchers protest

'U'

defense

By PETE WILLIAMS
A silent candlelight march to protest
defense research at the University at-
tracted more than 175 people Wed-
nesday night, far more than the demon-
stration's organizers had expected.
The march, which was held in com-
plete silence to heighten impact, began
at 11:15 p.m. in front of the Public
Health Building where University
researchers are working on a Pentagon
contract to find an antidote for nerve
gas. The group stopped briefly at North
Hall to hear an anti-ROTC speech
before finishing in front of President
Harold Shapiro's home, where the
protesters formed a peace sign and
spelled the word "peace" with candle
flames.
Progressive Student Network mem-
bers who organized the protest, said
they had not anticipated such a large
turnout.
"THE TURNOUT, shows that hun-
dreds of students are concerned about
what's going on," said PSN member
Amos Cornfeld. "It proves that people
do care."
Marchers broke the silence only at
North Hall, where PSN member Mark
Weinstein criticized the Reagan ad-
ministration for reducing civilian
financial aid while increasing the num-
ber of scholarships offered by the
military services.
"(ROTC applicants) believe that the
ROTC offers the only chance for them
to obtain a good education and em-
ployment opportunities in the future,"
Weinstein said.

research
THE MARCH concluded at Shapiro's
house because "he is supporting
militarism on our campus," Cornfeld
said. While there, individual protesters
called out descriptions of a number of
defense research projects and then
blew out their candles. Demonstrators
also sang anti-war songs.
Protesters said they hoped the
demonstration would force Shapiro to
pay attention to their concerns.
"We, who advocate non-violence,
wish to speak with the negative ad-
ministration," said March Wells, a
senior in the Residential College. "If
we cooperate to make (peace) happen,
it will."
MANY OF THE protesters said they
participated in the march because they
believe a university campus is the
wrong place to be conductiong military
research.
"At least we're not just sitting
around," said Janet Mandell, an LSA
senior. "We are an example for other
groups on other campuses. 'k
Participants said they didn't know if
the march would have any tangible
results, but they said it would serve to
keep the opposition to defense research
in the public eye.
"People saw us," said one protester,
who did not identify himself. "This is a
sign that the issue of military research
is far from dead."

City finds shelter for homeless

BY TRACEY MILLER
Ann Arbor's Commission on
I Emergency Housing yesterday settled
on a location that it will recommend to

the City Council to shelter the city's in-
digent population.
Although the commission did not
release the actual location, members
said it was close to downtown. Rent on

the property which was identified as a
residence, would be $1200 per month,
but the city council must approve
allocations for the home before a lease
can be signes.
