Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, January 17, 1984 Trespassing reporters may be prosecuted From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court yesterday allowed states to prosecute news reporters and photographers who accompany trespassing demon- strators onto private property, such as the site of a proposed nuclear power plant. The justices, without comment, rejected the ap- peals of six Oklahoma journalists who had argued that their trespassing convictions and $25 fines violated the constitutional guarantee of a free press. The journalists were arrested in 1979 along with 339 demonstrators while on the grounds of the fenced-in Black Fox Station, a 2,200-acre tract of land in Rogers County, Okla., where a nuclear plant may be built. the high court left intact an Oklahoma appeals court ruling that the Constitution's First Amendment does not shield "newspersons from state criminal prosecution on their new-gathering function." The state appeals court that upheld the journalists' convictions said, "The First Amendment which en- sures freedom of the press does not guarantee the press a constitutional right of special access not available to the public generally." In other action, the high court cleared the way for American Telephone & Telegraph Co. to pay $276 million, one of the largest antitrust awards in history, for cutting a rival company out of the telephone equipment market. Ignoring warnings from state phone regulators that the ruling would mean higher customer bills the justices let stand the award to Litton Systems Inc. Sledders dodge trees, police in arboretum (Contnueatrom Page 1) destroyed from sledding and building fires, Jaeger says. "The hillsides get slippery, so (sled- ders) can't get back up the hills," he says. "They grab hold of limbs or small trees, they get broken off.. . and soon the whole area is cleaned out." This month, Jaeger says he found three fresh fire sites, after one night of traying. Jaeger says he supports students right to have fun, but not at the expense of broken tree limbs. Replacing damaged trees is also ex- pensive and funds are short, Jaeger says. The arboretum's maintenance budget is funded by the School of Natural Resources, which underwent a 25 percent'budget cut this year. Aside from the damage and risks, nocturnal sledders are also loud and boisterous, and Jaeger says he gets nightly complaints from his neighbors. What starts out as the scraping screeches of trays etching trails into the icy snow, rapidly evolves into giggles and laughs and finally into "screaming" and hollering he says.

City council invalidates nuclear-free zone proposal (Continued from Page 1) anyway, which could drop the number of signatures below the 5,000 requisite. Michael said MAD consulted the Ann Arbor Tenants Union, sponsors of the weatherization proposal, and never worried about notarization because it wasn't needed for the weatherization petition. According to Michael, the weatherization group was told by the City Clerk's office that they didn't need the signatures notarized. "It's just an indication that citizen's groups cannot get correct information from city hall," Michael said. A YEAR AGO, a similar resolution to make Ann Arbor a nuclear-free zone was proposed to City Council and defeated by the council's Republican majority. MAD has two options: The group can try to win City Council sponsorship of the proposal by Feb. 6 to place it on the upcoming ballot anyway or MAD can start all over again with the signatures and wait for the November ballot. "We will be going ahead with the proposal," Michael said. "Our cam- paign has simply been plagued with misinformation throughout the entire collection." COUNCILMAN PETERSON con- demned Laidlaw's action. "Because this proposal is not popular with the people in city government, they seem to be running it through the mill instead of simply overlooking the oversight," he said. MAD and other groups will hold an in- formation and decision-making meeting about the nuclear-free issue at Canterbury Loft tonight at 7:30. Michael said there will be an announ- cement tomorrow concerning the future of the proposal. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports FLOC, county officials reach agreement in civil rights suit TOLEDO, Ohio-Putnam County officials and a union of migrant farm workers reached an out-of-court settlement yesterday of a $2 million civil rights suit claiming the workers and their union had been harassed. The settlement represents a victory for farmworkers far beyond the $180,000 they will receive, said Baldemar Velasquez, head of the union, the Farm Labor Organizing Committee. The settlement was announced moments before a federal trial was to begin on FLOC's charges of harassment, intimidation and illegal surveilan- ce against Putnam County Sheriff Robert Beutler and several deputies. The case stemmed from a Labor Day 1979 confrontation between several dozen FLOC members and law enforcement officers in a Putnam County tomatoe field. The farm workers, most of whom migrate each summer from Florida and Texas to pick the northwest Ohio vegetable crop, staged a sit-down.strike in front of a mechanical harvester being used for the first time to pick tomatoes. Police look for U.S. soldier's six kidnappers; hoax possible SCHWAFBISCH-GMUEND, West Germany-Military police searched yesterday for six anti-nuclear activists who an American soldier said held him hostage for 43 hours. Investigators tried to determine whether his ac- count was true. Spec. 4 Liam Fowler, 21, recovering from exhaustion at the U.S. Army's 5th General Hospital in Stuttgart, was expected to return today to the Per- shing missile brigade he is assigned to in the southern town of Schwaebisch- Gmuend. Fowler, of Port Orange, Fla., was found in a Bavarian barn on Sunday, about 140 miles southeast of the base. He claimed the kidnappers had threatened to kill him unless the U.S. missiles deployed by his brigade last month were dismantled. The nine rockets are the first of 108 U.S.-built Per- shing 2s NATO plans to station on German soil. German authorities coordinating the investigation with U.S. military police said the matter was being handled as a kidnap, but neither side ruled out the possibility of a hoax. Herpes may cause heart disease ST. PETERSBURG, Fla-Fragments of herpes viruses have been found in diseased human arteries, suggesting that the viruses might be one cause of heart disease, researchers said yesterday. Many heart attacks and strokes are due to hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits build up inside arteries and even- tually block blood flow. That blockage can cause a heart attack or a stroke, depending on where it occurs. The new research raises the possibility that atherosclerosis can begin when herpes viruses infect artery walls. Herpes viruses are known to cause cells to grow rapidly. And the rapid growth of cells in artery walls is thought to be one of the first events in the formation of a fatty deposit. In a complex process that is not completely understood, that rapid cell growth is followed by fatty deposits along the artery walls. The body's own defense system may also speed the formation of the deposits, known as plaques. Hussein calls return of Egypt to Arab world a must for unity AMMAN, Jordan-King Hussein told Parliament yesterday that the Palestine issue was "the first and foremost preoccupation" of his new government and that a return of Egypt to the Arab fold was indispensable to Arab unity. - Hussein asked the Palestine Liberation Organization to help enable Jor- dan to do its duty to "Palestine and its people." In his speech, the king mentioned no political leaders by name, but he has invited Arafat to join him in talks on solving the Palestinian problem. "Arab Egypt cannot be left out of the ranks of the Arab Nation, which is indispensable to Egypt, while Egypt is indispensable to the Arab'Nation," Hussein said. Druse gunners shell east Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon-Druse gunners pounded Christian east Beirut yesterday with artillery and rocket fire, and U.S. special envoy Donald Rumsfeld con- ferred with President Amin Gemayel on ways of calming Lebanon's turmoil. Hundreds of Christian families spent most of the day in basements and bomb shelters as shells and rockets rained around their homes. Police said 10 civilians were killed and 40 wounded. Blasts shook the presidential palace in the pine woods of suburban Baabda while Rumsfeld and Gemayel met. Police said a few rounds crashed about a half mile from the palace. Rumsfeld declined to speak to reporters after his three-hour meeting with Gemayel. Local radio stations said the American envoy briefed Gemayel on his talks with Syrian and Israeli government leaders. U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz told reporters in London yesterday it was "not possible to report any real progress" from Rumsfeld's visits to Syria and Israel. Yesterday's bombardment was the fifth straight day of shelling in Beirut. 0be ilidigan atQlt Vol. XCI V-No. 88 Tuesday, January 17, 1984 (ISSN 0745-967X) The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
