Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Saturday, October 8, 1983 Women shun USC 'sex pot' IN BRIEF A robot with sex appeal that makes a great cup of coffee has been removed from display at the University of California at Berkeley. The university decided that Sweetheart the Robot, a five-foot-tall coffee dispenser with "very large breasts," is sexist. "This is my idea of what a pretty female robot should look like," sculptor COLLEGES Clayton Bailey said of his creation, one of three robots he displayed last week at a gala commemorating the 15th an- niversary of the university's Lawren- ce Hall of Science. But three days later, the perky per- colator was removed for the start of the public celebration. "I was told that the robot was deemed inappropriate, grotesque, and sexist," Bailey said. "I heard that some sort of feminist-radical group had signed petitions demanding that it not be shown." After he complained, Bailey said, Sweetheart was put back on display but was removed again within an hour because of "public reaction." "The decision was mine alone," said Robert Knox, deputy director of Lawrence Hall. "Some people were personally offended to think someone would degrade womanhood by showing a silent coffeepot with very large breasts." But Bailey, an art professor at Cal State-Hayward who has long specialized in comic art, said, "those people have censored this, and this is i SOME COF FE E 81G BoY ? i = : = ---- "' c i ^ .

The Champaign County Humane Society has begun an investigation into the university's efforts to kill or relocate the troublesome birds. School officials say the pigeons are a nuisance because they carry lice and disease and leave unsightly feces on campus buildings. But a student last week complained about the university's methods of pigeon disposal when she saw two workers take captured birds out of wooden crates and stuff them into a burlap sack. Edward Cousins, associate director of the university's Operation and main- tenance division, said that workers are instructed to capture the pigeons in the crates. He said that while a few of the birds are relocated, most are put to sleep. -The Daily Illini Minnesota tightens aid requirments It'll be tougher for students to declare themselves financially independent in Minnesota, according to a new state statute. The Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board approved a rec- commendation last week to allow only students who are over 21 years old to claim financial independence from their parents. The regulation applies to all students applying for state aid. Exemptions in the ruling will be made for married students, orphans, wards of the state, students whose parents cannot be located, and students who have been physically abused by their parents. The board estimated that ap- proximately 40 percent of those now receiving financial aid as independent students - nearly 2,800 sutdents in 1981- 82 - would no longer be eligible for state assistance. The new definition won't take effect until the 1984-85 school year, but has already drawn fire from students, and financial aid officers. -Minnesota Daily OSU jaywalkers curbed Jaywalking Ohio State University students have lost their right-of-way on the streets of Columbus. The city's police force will be cracking down on jaywalkers in an at- tempt to decrease the number of pedestrian-related accidents near the university's campus. A police survey had revealed that jaywalkers caused between 10 and 20 accidents on campus each month. Columbus police say the high number of jaywalking accidents can be par- tially attributed to the great number of bars near campus. "The consequences of mixing jaywalking and alcohol are very serious," said Sgt. Charles Beele. "Jaywalking is really just one irresponsible moment," said, "but it can cause pain and suffering for a lot of people." -The Lantern Colleges appears every Saturday and is compiled by Daily staff writer Halle Czechowski. (turcb IIubrflIIP *rUIEcln Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Eastern won't seek bankruptcy Eastern Airlines reached a truce with its unions yesterday, setting aside a threat to go out of business, while Continental Airlines resumed bargaining with pilots and flight attendants in hopes of ending a week-long strike. Eastern chairman Frank Borman withdrew threats that the airline would file for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Act unless workers accep- ted 15 percent pay cuts. But the airline and the unions agreed to set aside their differences and have two independent analysts study the company's financial structure. Union leaders pledged to "do whatever is necessary" to keep Eastern in the air. Meanwhile, Continental Airlines - which two weeks ago filed for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act and resumed operations after slashing schedules and salaries - expanded an ad campaign trying to lure pilots to work while separate bargaining sessions with attendants and pilots were held in Houston, said Continental spokesman Bruce Hicks. Marcos battles econconije woes MANILA, Philipines - President Ferdinand Marcos pledged a price freeze and delayed an increase in the minimum wage to cushion the shock of a currency devaluation yesterday. His opponents prepared to take their political protests to Manila's slums despite a government ban. Opposition leaders were refused a permit to hold a march and rally today in the Tondo district, but said they would go ahead with their plans. Mean- while, thousands demonstrated against Marcos in the Makati financial district for the third successive day. The sorely beset president crisis touched off by the assassination of op- position leader Benigno Aquino on Aug. 21. To combat price increases expected to result from the 21.4 percent devaluation of the peso Wednesday, the government announced it would freeze the prices of gasoline and such key commodities as rice, meat, eggs, milk and school supplies. Prime Minister Cesar Virata acknowledged at a new conference that the unrest following the assassination of Aquino was contributing to the coun- try's financial problems. But he said he did not think the government would have to default on any of its $18 billion foreign debt. French fighters head for Iraq MORLAIX, France - Five French Super-Entendard jet fighters left a base in western France yesterday for delivery to Iraq, informed sources reported. Iran has warned that if France delivered the aircraft to its adversary in the Iran-Iraq border war, it might blockade the Hormus Strait at the mouth of the Gulf through which much of the world's oil is shipped. The Iraqis are said to want the aircraft, which carry Exocet missiles already sold to Iraq, to attach Iranian oil terminals. The sources said the planes, piloted by French fliers, left the Landivision naval air base in Brittany, on the northwest coast. They said Iraqi pilots would take over the planes at a stopover in the Mediterranian area. Suspect charged in murder of young Redford's boyfriend BOULDER, Colo. -- Thayne Smika, a prime suspect all along, was ordered into court yesterday to face charges of killing his college roommate, the longtime boyfriend of actor Robert Redford's daughter. Smika, 24, an unemployed real estate agent, was arrested Thursday for the slaying of University of Colorado student Sid Wells, roommate in a plush condominium near the University of Colorado campus who dated Shauna Redford for three years. Prosecutors said Smika was the main suspect throughout the investigation of the case, which was highly publicized nationwide because of the Redford connection. "rHe has been a suspect all along, and at this time he's a good supect, said Lt. Bill Spotts. "Our investigation is continuing, but we don't anticipate any more arrests." Spotts refused to discuss a possible motive for the killing, saying all infor- mation in the affidavit for an arrest warrent had been sealed by the court. Star witness gets freedom SEATTLE - Wai Chin, the lone survivor of a massacre that left 13 people dead at a Chinatown gambling club, is getting his freedom after six months in hiding and under guard. The state's star witness at the trials of two men accused in the killings, the 61-year-old Chin becomes a free man this weekend, released by the convic- tion of the second of the two men. "It was like jail," said the woman who has lived with Chin for the past nine years. He was closely guarded, with police his constant escort and guards his neighbors across the hall. His actions were monitored by a camera and motion detectors. "You couldn't even throw the garbage out," the 54-year-old woman, who identified herself only as Rose, told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in a copyrighted article. "I was fearful we'd have to move out again, so I wouldn't even look out the window until the Ng trial was over." Benjamin Ng, 20, was convicted of 13 counts of aggravated first-degree murder and one count of first-degree assault in August, and sentenced to life in prison. Willie Mak, 22, was convicted of the same charges Wednesday. On Thursday he was sentenced to death. Without Chin's testimony, prosecutors say, Ng and Mak might not have been convicted. 4 I FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH AND AMERICAN BAPTIST CAMPUS FOUNDATION 502 East Huron, 663-9376 9:55 a.m. Sunday Worship October 9.

The arrest of Gen. Mario Menendez may be the prelude to more serious trouble for the military governor of the offshore island archipelago during the 74-day conflict last year. TWO WEEKS ago, a panel of retired officers completed a nine-month in- vestigation of the Argentine debacle. News leaks indicated they recommen- ded the court-martial of 14 officers, in- cluding Menendez. The general, who had been relieved of military duties pending the outcome of the investigation, was arrested at his home before dawn. He was taken to the Magdalena army base 60 miles south of Buenos Aires to serve his sentence. His mother, Hilda Villarino de Menendez, and the official Telam news agency said the arrest was due to the recent publication of his account of the war, "Malvinas, Testimony of Their Governor." The Malvinas is the Argentine name for the disputed islands 250 miles off the coast. Police notes Gas station robbed and presents SWEET DEA;LS FOR E w.
