See U', Page 3 d By NEIL CHASE "I go to bed every night thanking God don't live in Russia," former 'ecretary of State Alexander Haig said last night as he gave his views on foreign policy to an enthusiastic and heckler-filled audience in Rackham Auditorium. Despite repeated interruptions and catcalls, Haig appeared relaxed as he, spoke - now more than a year after he left the Reagan White House and en- tered private life. HAIG SAID America's top foreign olicy issue is the conflict in the Middle East. "It has the seeds of potential con- flict - both regional and superpower." Although he disagrees with some of the administration's actions early in the struggle, Haig said, the Marines "are there to stay," and he would not favor their withdrawal. America must also address problems in other parts of the world, he said, especially in third world countries. He said many such nations which have keen bloody revolutions in recent years have governments which are now mature enough to see the value of aligning with the United States. If America should "turn a deaf ear" to these nations now, he said, new revolutions will occur led by people who hope to gain power by aligning with the Soviet Union. Haig said it was too early to deter- mine the extent of Soviet influence in , the recent coup on the island of Grenada, k'but he said it had the potential to be much like Afghanistan where a Soviet puppet was installed as the leader. HE SAID THE Soviets are also trying to break down Western Europe's at- tachment to the U.S. and that recent American limitations on imports of European steel would probably lead to a retaliatory limiting of purchases of American agricultural products. The people of Western Europe, he Chantig said, are suffering from a "nuclear schizophrenia" - a combination of fears that America might start a nuclear war and that European lands might be sacrificed to protect the United States. "International affairs is a group of unsolvable problems," he said, adding that the best the U.S. can do is try to See HAIG, Page 2 'dying' protesters greet Haig By PETE WILLIAMS Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig's speech at Rackham Auditorium last night turned into a vicious dialogue between cat-calling hecklers and the sardonic speaker. About 1500 people squeezed into the auditorium to hear both Haig and a vocal minority of protesters discuss foreign policy and defense issues. Those 300 to 500 people who could not get in pounded on the doors at intervals throughout Haig's speech. Many hecklers unfurled anti-military banners bearing such slogans as "National Security is a Front for Corrupt Self- Interest," and "Feed the Hunry, Not the Pentagon." ALTHOUGH Haig attempted to follow the original outline for his speech, he stopped repeatedly to coun- ter individual protesters. "You will have a question-and- answer period," he said. "Why don't you prove your intelligence then?" He said his presentations at several other universities, including Princeton, Yale, and Columbia, had not been nearly so difficult because he "didn't have to face this nonsense.'' .But after the speech he said the reac- tions here were characteristic of many campuses. HAIG WAS subjected to various protests throughout yesterday, in- cluding students who chanted and dan- ced outside his room in East Quad See PROTESTERS, Page 2 Psychology prof quits over sex diaig res By JACKIE YOUNG The University's first formal in- vestigation into charges that a tenured professor had sexually harassed female students came to- an end yesterday when University President Harold Shapiro announced the professor's resignation. Sources close to the investigation say the professor, who was facing seven separate allegations of sexually harrassing female students and staff members was a member of the psychology department. OFFICIALS HAVE not released the professor's name or details about the charges against him. The unprecedented appication of the regents' bylaws against sexual harassment began last October when Shapiro asked a key faculty committee - the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) - to in- vestigate allegations . about the professor's misconduct. Shapiro's request that SACUA take up the case followed recommendations by both the LSA dean and Vice *President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye. SACUA's subcommittee on tenure held hearings to investigate the allegations. After ten meetings where committee members heard testimony from witnesses presented by both the University and the psychology professor, the subcommittee concluded that "misconduct had occurred and recommended dismissal of the faculty member," Shapiro said in a prepared statement. THE PROFESSOR'S case was ap- pealed to SACUA which approved the See SEXUAL, Page 5 Doily Photo by JEFF SCHRIER University students stage a "die-in" to protest Alexander Haig's speech at Rackham Auditorium last night. The protesters chanted "peace, now," sang "give peace a chance," and heckled the former Secretary of State throughout his speech. House votes to cut CIA support WASHINGTON (AP) - A bitterly- divided House yesterday voted for the second time in three months to cut off CIA support for Nicaraguan counter- revolutionaries. The 227-194 vote, largely along party lines, was nearly dentical to the earlier tally. Like the first cut-off proposal, the new one is seen as unlikely to win ap- proval in the Republican-controlled Senate. THERE WERE 209 Democrats and 18 Repulicans voting for a cut-off. The house vote came after a heated debate in which each side accused the other of risking deeper U.S. in- volvement in Central America's wars. "Military victory is the ad- ministration's bottom line," charged Rep. Edward Boland, (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, about the expanding CIA backing for Nicaraguan "Contras" - or counter-revolutionaries. BOLAND, sponsor of the cut-off amendment, said the administration must stop "waging war in Nicaragua. And make no mistake about it, this is exactly what the United States is doing." But Republicans said the covert ac- tion had succeeded in pressuring Nicaragua's Sandinista government.to curtail support for leftist guerrillas in El Salvador and to accept new peace proposals from the so-called Contadora nations - Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama. Further, declared Rep. William Whitehurst, (R-Va.), an intelligence committee member, if the covert action is stopped, "before this decade is out, to Nicaraguan )u will see American blood spilled in and presentee nays no one can imagine." He concrete and suggested that if the covert action was achieving pe stopped it could lead to direct U.S. After me military intervention.

Police have not iden- tified the man. "We treated it as an aided case," Quinones said. "There was no crime committed." The man didn't file a complaint against anyone, and had apparently spray- painted himself, Quinones said. He was "on another wavelength," the officer said, or possibly intoxicated.
