4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 27, 1983 Clashes spur Marine enlistments From the Associated Press The din of bombs and gunfire in Lebanon and Grenada has sounded a call to arms for dung-ho teen- agers and former GIs, who are surprising Marine recruiters with their fervor to enlist and join the fight. "Calls have been piling in like you wouldn't believe," said Lt. Col. Robert Tilley, who is in charge of 43 Marine recruiting stations across central and southern California. One new recruit was Scott Mapstead, 18, of Lakewood, Calif., who asked if he could improve his chances for getting overseas duty if he listed his top three choices as "Beirut, Beirut, Beirut." Mapstead said that as the death count in Sunday's terrorist bombing of the Marine garrison climbed above 200, "it really upset me." "Those are a lot of our brothers," he said. "I feel they are my brothers." The Marine recruiter in Buffalo, N.Y., Gunnery Sgt. Bob Lyons, said yesterday he thought the disaster in Lebanon and Tuesday's invasion of Grenada by Marines and Army Rangers would have a chilling effect on enlistments, but the opposite ap- peared to be true. "There is still a dying breed of gung-ho kids who are still patriotic," Lyons said. Lt. Col. James Bathurst, who is in charge of 27 recruiting stations in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, said applicants have doubled this week to about 60 a day. "Ever since the Marines went into Lebanon, traf- fic has been up," Bathurst said. "People have been moving toward a more patriotic feeling about our country and our responsibilities." Bathurst said that in one day he had 30 to 40 calls from former Marines wanting to re-enlist, whereas on a normal day he might get one. Most veterans are turned down because age 29 is the cutoff for enlist- ments. On the other hand, two potential Marines called the recruiting office on Chicago's South Side on Monday to say they had changed their mind about signing. "In this situation, maybe you can't blame them," said a spokesman for the office. That was not the attitude of Tedi Lowe, a 17-year- old girl who signed up in the Chicago suburb of Streator. "We ought to be doing something about what's happened in Beirut," she said. "It shouldn't keep going on like this." In Montclair, N.J., Sgt. William McGurk said that among his applicants this week was a 37-year-old man who was in the Army 11 years ago but was now overweight. "I want to point out that these people weren't drunk or weird or anything," McGurk said. "It's just part of the increased respect we've been seeing in just the last couple of weeks. "You walk down the street and people pat you on the back." 140 Americans evacuated from Grenada (Continued from Page 1) drawal of U.S. and applied forces from his homeland. IAN JACOBS called upon the OAS "to stop this flagrant act of aggression... to put an end to the breakdown to inter- national law that is taking place." In another development, the chan- cellor of the medical school in Grenada, where several hundred Americans are enrolled, reversed himself yesterday and said a private State Department briefing convinced him President Reagan was justified in ordering the invasion. "I found out that the people I had been dealing with in the Grenadian government were not fully in charge of that government and therefore could not guarantee the safety of Americans," said Charles Modica, founder of the St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada. EARLIER, MILITARY sources said 800 paratroopers from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division landed on Grenada 'early yesterday to reinforce nearly 2,000 U.S. troops who seized control of most of the Caribbean island Tuesday. Grenadian and Cuban forces con- tinued to offer some resistance early yesterday. Sources said Americans were the target of sniper fire and there was fighting around both of the island's airports. By midafternoon, however, the Cuban government said resistance by its armed construction workers had en- ded. Government television in Havana reported there had been no surrender, but "the last six Cubans to resist the Yankees died holding the Cuban flag in their arms.'' The announcement was followed by the Cuban national anthem. THE HAVANA Television Service said the Cubans "sacrificed themselves for the fatherland" under a final U.S. attack with fighter aircraft, helicopter gunships, heavy and medium artillery and mortars.

LIBERTY 665-9919 Join the Daily News Staff IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports American-made missiles in Europe hamper arms talks MOSCOW - Soviet President Yuri Andropov said yesterday deployment of new American nuclear missiles in Western Europe would make con- tinuation of the Geneva arms talks "impossible." The Soviet leader said, however, that the Soviet Union is willing to con- tinue the talks on reducing nuclear weapons in Europe if the deployment does not start as scheduled in December. He characterized the present state of the talks as at an impasse, according to the official Soviet news agency Tass. There had previously beenySoviet threats to break off the talks, but the Andropov statement was the first clear statement from the Soviet leader. Andropov said: "The appearance of new American missiles in Western Europe will make a continuation of the present talks in Geneva impossible. On the other hand, the Geneva talks can be continued if the United States does not start the actual deployment of the missiles." House approves missile buildup WASHINGTON - President Reagan won a firm go-ahead from the House yesterday to keep building the nuclear-tipped Pershing-2 missile, scheduled for deployment in West Germany in December. The House rejected by voice vote an amendment by Rep. Joseph Addabbo (D-N.Y.), a perennial Pershing foe, to delete $432.8 million for procurement of additional missiles from a mammoth $247 billion 1984 military funding bill. Addabbo, head of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, said Congress already has approved money for 112 missiles. Only 108 are scheduled for deployment. Rep. Norman Dicks (D-Wash.) warned that failure to approve the funds would destroy U.S. credibility with its European partners in NATO. "I can't think of one thing that would do more damage to the alliance today that stopping this procurement," he said. Shultz expects allies' questions on Grenada at Paris meeting WASHINGTON - Secretary of State George Shultz expects to face tough questions at a Paris meeting today from European allies who disapprove of the U.S. invasion of Grenada. The role of the multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon is the major item on the agenda for the one-day meeting of the foreign ministers of the United States, France, 'Britain, and Italy. But U.S. officials said the American action in Grenada "inevitably will come up." In addition, the Council of Europe, comprising 21 major West European nations, said public opinion on the continent "will find it hard to reconcile the invasion with the principles of international law." The meeting was requested by the United States to determine a course of action in the wake of Sunday's terrorist bombs that killed at least 219 American soldiers and 53 French troops in separate attacks on the peacekeeping forces. A State Department official said the foreign ministers probably will make "a show of unity" in their resolve to maintain the 5,000-member force. He said they probably wouldn't increase or move the force, but said they are expected to discuss the role that could be played by a new cease-fire monitoring force. ChrySlis profits up dramatically DETROIT - Chrysler Corp., continuing its heralded comeback from near bankruptcy, yesterday reported a $100.2 million profit for the third quarter, a dramatic improvement from last year's $9.1 million profit. The automaker's profit translated to 72 cents per share-of common stock compared to a 3 cents pet share-profit last year: Analysts wereexpecting'a profit for Chryslet of about $76 million in the third quarter, which was highlighted by the firm's repayment of $1.2 billion in federally backed loans. The automakers said the strong results were due to increased sales and cost containment efforts. Chrysler sales are up 24.5 percent so far this year. Earlier this week, General Motors Corp. announced a record $737 million profit for the third quarter, while American Motors Corp. had a $9.1 million loss. Ford Motor Co. results are due today. Plant fungus linked to AIDS BOSTON - AIDS may be caused by a plant fungus that mimics a drug used to lower immunity in organ transplant patients, federal scientists say. "We are working around the clock on it," said Dr. Thomas Folks, one of the researchers. "We are very excited about it." But a report by the research group emphasized, "These results are ex- tremely preliminary." The fungus, which has never been known to cause disease in human beings, has been found in the blood of victims of AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It produces a substance that is chemically similar to cyclosporin, a new drug used to temporarily lower natural resistance in transplant patients. Unusual forms of the fungus, called Thermoascus crustaceus, were found in the blood of three AIDS patients. AIDS destroys the body's ability to fight off disease. No one knows its cause, and the fungus is the latest suspect to be identified. Many other scien- tists say they think a virus is the most likely culprit. Homosexuals, Haitians, abusers of injectable drugs and hemophiliacs are most likely to get AIDS.

That tendency of U.S. officials to view foreign governments in extreme terms - as hard-line leftists under Soviet in- fluence - breeds rash military reac- tions, said McDonough. There is a strong feeling of nationalism in Grenada and con- siderable anti-American sentiments, but that doesn't necessarily mean the people in Grenada favor Soviet rule, McDonough said. THE REAGAN administration fails to realize that there are different degrees of leftism and their current view tends to "bring out the crazies on both sides," he said. Soviet influence in the Caribbean is not as pervasive as the Reagan ad- ministration claims, said Miroslav Nincic, another political science professor. "I don't think the Caribbean is part or central to Soviet . . . concerns," said Nincic, an authority on international politics. The Soviet Union's central interests are in the Persian Gulf, Nincic said. USING MILITARY force to take over a small nation gives the U.S. a reputation as an "international bully," Nincic said, adding that it will damage the credibility of American protests of similar Soviet invasions in the future. If the Soviet Union invades Poland "we lose our ability to argue," because the US. has taken a similar action by sending troops to Grenada, said Nincic, who was contacted in New York yesterday. "I don't think there is ever a reason for troops of one country to meddle in the internal affairs of another," he said. Tensions are also escalating in other Central American countries and of- ficials in Latin America and Nicaragua have condemned the American in- vasion. Biological Sciences Prof. John Van- Dermeer said he has contacted several American friends in Nicaragua who said they were angered by the U.S. moving troops into Grenada under the pretext of protecting American citizens there. "The dangerous aspect of what the U.S. just did is that Americans in Nicaragua are afraid that the Reagan administration will use some similar excuse about them to justify an in- vasion of Nicaragua," he said.
