SECRETARY OF STATE George Shultz sought
yesterday to portray the weekend U.S. air strike in
Lebanon as an isolated incident that does not reflect
escalation of the conflict, and urged the Soviet Union
to encourage restraint by Syria.
He said in Washington that the use of U.S. airpower
did not foreshadow an American effort to mipose a
military solution in Lebanon, and called on the Soviet
Union to use its influence with Syria to moderate that
country's policies.
"I think a case can be made that Syria and Syrian
surrogates have kind of had violence going their way

ATLANTA - December 5th, 1983.

the Michigan basketball team cameof
age.
MICHIGAN went down to the Omni to

experienced Final Four,team from one
year ago. All the young upstart
Wolverines did was help Georgia ex-
perience a 76-70 upset and vault the

prominence.
"This is-the biggest win we've had
since I've k'een here," said junior co-
captain Eric Turner. "Georgia was a
nationally ranked team and beating
them on their own court is a big lift for
us: It shows we can play with anybody
Although Turner has been a key in the
past, he was of little consequence last
night. In fact, the Michigan guard pit-
ched a shutout on the scoreboard going
0-6 from the field in limited action.
THE 6-3 FLINT native, however,
barely could walk to the lockerroom af-
ter the game as he was inflicted with
chronic back spasms. The injury, which
has hindered his play through the first
five games of the young season, might
cause him to be rested for the next
couple of weeks.

The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday
decided to review 'the government's
policy of tying federal financial aid for
college-aged males to draft
registration.
The court will examine a ruling by a
federal judge in Minnesota who last
June struck down the draft status
disclosure rule as unconstitutional.
THE RULE requires federal grant
and loan applicants to prove they have
registered with the Selective Service ad
refuses federal aid to those who have
not met the legal obligation to register.
Six University of Minnesota students
challenged the law last year, sparking
the ruling by U.S. District Judge
Donald Alsop.
Alsop wrote that the law was uncon-
stitutional because it determines guilt
and assesses punishment without first
allowing for a trial.
THE. LAW REMAINS in effect,
however, because the Supreme Court
set aside Alsop's ruling pending the
outcome of the appeal acted on yester-
day.
In seeking Supreme Court review,
government lawyers argued that the
law makes benefits available to all
qualified students who register at any
time before applying." ..
Harvey Grotrian, the University's
director of financial aid, said he is-
cautious about the high court's decision
to review the law.
"HAD (THE SUPREME Court)
decided not to hear the case, the min-
nesota judge's ruling would have
stood," he said. "But just the fact that
they have decided to hear it may mean
the ruling could be overturned."
Grotrian said it will be business as
usual for the University's financial aid
program. "The fact is the law and the
regulations surrounding it are still in
effect," hesaid.
All but five of the University's finan-
cial aid applicants have met the
registration requirement.
AN ATTORNEY for the Minnesota
Public Interest Group, which represen-
ted the six University of Minnesota
students, said she is confident the high,

court will uphold Alsop's ruling.
"We're confident the high court will
see the merit in Judge Alsop's
decision," said Gail Suchman, senior
attorney for MPIRG.
She expressed some reservation,
however., saying "This court, has a
history of being very conservative.''

draft registration case
By GLEN YOUNG
A federal district judge in Detroit,
e hearing the case of a University student
indicted for failing to register for the
draft, has decided to delay action pen-'
ding further review of documents which
have been turned over by the White
House and other government agencies
involved in the case.
The decision, which Judge Phillip
Pratt expressed to attorneys Friday,
follows a ruling last month by a panel of
district judges in Cleveland to overturn
the conviction of a Cleveland man ac-
cused of failing to register with Selec-
tive Service.
ATTORNEYS for the University
graduate student, Dan Rutt, say both
the Cleveland decision and ruling in the
Rutt case are partial victories. The at-
torneys had asked the judge to seek the
governments documents, saying they
would help prove their contention that
Rutt and 15 other registration resistors
nationwide are being prosecuted selec-
tively.

Faculty panel pursues
U'research conference
By THOMAS MILLER
The University moved a step closer to
sponsoring a major conference on
' academic freedom and military
research yesterday when a top faculty
governing committee decided to pursue
the proposed forum.
The Senate Advisory Committee on
University Affairs (SACUA) acted on a
request made by medical school Prof.
David Bassett at last month's faculty
Senate Assembly meeting that such a
conference be held here at the Univer-
sity.
BASSETT proposed the conference
i response to concerns over Pentagon-
sponsored research on campus and to
the regents' rejection of guidelines for
non-classifed researdh last June.
The guidelines, proposed by the
Assembly's Research Policy Commit-
tee, would have prohibited research
that has "substantial purpose...to
destroy or permanqptly incapacitate
human beings."
Many SACUA members shared
Bassett's concern that the University
has not dealt sufficiently with the issue
of military research.
"IT'S SOMETHING we need to talk
about," said Nursing School Prof.
Cheryl Easley. "All sides need to be
heard."
Most SACUA members said that
while they realized a conference might
not convince the regents to reverse
their decision about the research
guidelines, an international forum on
the issue might 'serve an educational
purpose.
"This conference could have an
educational thrust to it," said Medical
School Prof. Alphonse Burdi, another
SACUA member.
;ARE THE. REGENTS going td be
educated? I don't know. But it is my
feeling that the regents' rejection of the
:guidelines was not an educated one. It
was more of a gut reaction from them,"
Burdi said. "But that doesn't mean
they're going to change their minds if
we have the conference."
SACUA chairman Herbert
Hildebrandt, a busiress school
professor, said that there was "over-
whelming support (from SACUA) for
further investigation into whether a
conference should be held." He said
SACUA's next move will be to bring the
issue to the Collegiate Institute on
Values in Science (CIVS).
CIVS is an organization of professors
at the University who meet once a mon-
th to discuss ethical issues in science.
The current membership totals about
50 professors. Two SACUA members,
Burdi and psychology Prof. Donald
Brown, belong to the group.
HILDEBRANDT said SACUA will
consult CIVS because "The groupis in
place and already discussing issues
