Vol. XCIV--No. 45 Copyright 1983, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, October 28, 1983 Fifteen Cents Fourteen Pages _ _ _ .. _ GEO set to mail ballots for vote on contract By JAN RUBENSTEIN After a two-week delay, the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) will mail ballots to the University's 1700 graduate student teaching assistants and staff assistants to vote on a con- tract agreement reached with the University administration Sept. 26. GEO needs 51 percent of its voting membership to approve the contract for its ratification. University officials estimate that GEO's membership stan- ds at around 800. But that figure in- cludes only those students who have notified the University, and others may have dealt directly with the union to :join. GEO MEMBERS attributed the delay An issuing the ballots to apathy among TAs in organizing the vote. At a meeting on Oct. 5, the union could not find volun- teers to handle the election process. Gene Goldenfeld agreed to }head the Elections Committee at a meeting held Oct. 12. " had made a proposal about the electipns, and people said, 'Why don't you do it?"' he said. To better organize itself, the union last night changed its management structure from a 10-member Steering Committee to an Executive Committee with a group of officers. Celeste Berke was elected president of the union last night - the first for GEO since early 1981. The Union hadn't been able to fill out its Steering Committee since fall term of 1982 because GEO couldn't get a quorum for its meetings last winter. The structure created last night provides "a more specified way of allocating responsiblity," Berke said. ALSO ELECTED last night were Jane Holzka, vice president; Rick Maitland, treasurer; and Barbara Joos, secretary. In an effort to ensure a large voter turnout, the Elections Committee is sending out ballots to all 1700 persons who would be affected by the contract, if ratified.

Grac prep courses boost exam scores, study says By PETE WILLIAMS The money pre-professional school students spend on preparatory courses for the LSAT, MCAT, and other exams doesn't go to waste, according to a study by University researchers released yesterday. Researchers from the University's Center for Research on Learning and Teaching found that expert coaching programs can be effective for boosting student's scores on the ,all-important board exams that are necessary for admission. into most professional programs. ALTHOUGH previous research has said that the SAT and similar tests are "coach-proof" and the College Entran- ce Examination Board believes them to be a waste of time and money, "people can increase their performance by WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan charged the Soviet Union last night with encouraging the violence in both Lebanon and Grenada "through a network of surrogates and terrorists." It is "clear a Cuban occupation" of Grenada had been planned, he said. "We got there just in time," Reagan said. The President said the foremost mission of the American invasion of the Marxist-ruled Caribbean island was to guarantee the safety of U.S. citizens. "The nightmare of our hostages in Iran must never be repeated," he declared. REAGAN ALSO voted that those responsible for the bombing in Beirut that killed 225 Marines and sailors "must be dealt justice. They willbe." In a televised address to the nation, Reagan said, "The events in Lebanon and Grenada, though oceans apart, are closely related. Not only has Moscow assisted and encouraged the violence in both countries, but it provides direct support through a network of surrogates and terrorists." "It is no coincidence that when the thugs tried to wrest control over Grenada, there were 30 Soviet advisers and hundreds of Cuban military and paramilitary forces on the island," Reagan said. "TWO HOURS ago," said the President, "we released the first photos from Grenada. They included pictures of a warehouse of military equipment, one of three we have uncovered so far. This warehouse contained weapons and ammunition stacked almost to the1 ceiling, enough to supply thousands of terrorists. "Grenada, we were told, was a frien- dly island paradise for tourism. But is wasn't. -It was a Soviet-Cuban colony being readied as a major military bastion to export terror and undermine democracy. We got there just in time," he said. The president devoted most of his ad- dress to his explanatidn of why American forces remain in Lebanon despite the heavy loss of lives. But he declared the invasion of Grenada a "brilliant operation," that thwarted a See REAGAN, Page 9 Leftist chief takes" hostaTein Grenada ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) - American forces crushed a final stronghold of Grenada's defenders yesterday, but the Caribbean island's diehard Marxist leader was reported still resisting-the invaders and holding a woman hostage. The United States poured hundreds of fresh paratroopers into the fight for the tiny nation yesterday.

Kulik said that different prep courses vary in their effectiveness, but he poin- ted to the popular Stanley Kaplan cour- se as being especially effective. "An average kid who went through (the Stanley Kaplan) program improved by 25 points on the verbal and math sec- tions (of the SAT), so that is a total of 50 points" on a scale of 200 through 800, he said. Kathryn Spearin-Hurst, the manager of the Stanley Kaplan Center in South- field who was in Ann Arbor yesterday, said that some sort of preparation is necessary for success.

The Marine commander said new security measures had been enforced to prevent a repeat of the suicide bombings that killed more than 270 Americans and French soldiers. The death toll from the attacks at the French and U.S. bases continued to rise: 221 U.S. servicemen were killed, according to the Pentagon, and 56 French soldiers died, according to French military officials in Beirut. THE SEARCH for missing bodies, in- cluding two Frenchmen presumed dead, went on at both camps. -Marines formed long lines at their base at Beirut's international airport to telephone assurances to relatives in the United States. Up to five Marines at a time lined up to use two international telephone circuits to the United States. Hundreds of demonstrators, suppor- ters of President Amin Gemayel, mar- ched to the residence of the U.S. and French ambassadors led by Gemayel's 15-year-old daughter, Nicole. They carried U.S. and French flags and ban- ners such as one proclaiming, "U.S. Marines - Heroes Of Peace." MEANWHILE in Paris, Secretary of State George Shultz joined with the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Italy Thursday in pledging to main- tain their forces in Beirut despite the twin terrorist attacks that killed more than 200 Americans and 50 french soldiers: Shultz and the other ministers said their countries were making "those sacrifices ... for the cause of peace and unity in Lebanon."

District Judge Jack Love of Albuquerque, N.M. defended his policy of using the phone to arraign defendants who are in jail but face new charges. "If a person is in confinement, he doesn't need a bond. Why spend the taxpayers' money bringing them here and run- ning the risk of letting them get away?" the judge reasoned. Love said he has already held one telephone arraignment - for an 18-year-old confined at the state Boys Home who had new charges brought against him. The judge said he will use the telephone for cases like the 18- the art elevator also can display the time-stock options, and has several programmable messages.
