Soviet leader Andropov dies MOSCOW (AP) - President Yuri Andropov is dead-after only 15 months in power, a rule that began with promises of change and ended with the. i former KGB chief trying to govern a superpower from his sickbed. As Soviets hung out mourning flags yesterday, the rest of the world awaited word on who would assume the Kremlin helm in this time of heightened U.S.- Soviet tensions. THE GOVERNMENT announced at 2:20 p.m. 6:20 a.m. EST yesterday that the 69-year-old Andropov, "staunch fighter for the ideals of communism and for peace," had died 22 hours earlier, at 4:50 p.m.Thursday(8:50 a.m. EST.) The death of Andropov evoked formal expressions of regret from leaders around the world yesterday, along with hopes that the next head of the Soviet Union might renew East-West detente. Because of his relatively brief 15- month term as Soviet leader and his long illness, Andropov established few close personal relationships with policy makers in other nations. It was reflected in the lack of emotion in many leaders' statements. IN A MESSAGE to the Soviet leadership, President Reagan ex- pressed "condolences and sympathies" and the "deep and heartfelt desire of the American people for world peace." The president, relaxing at his secluded ranch in the Santa Ynez Mountains near here, was awakened in the middle of the night yesterday by deputy chief of staff Michael Deaver, who informed him that Andropov's death had been announced in Moscow. For months the President and Com- munist Party general secretary had been seriously ill with diabetes, kidney and circulatory problems. An official announcement said he died of "heart and vascular insufficiency." DURING HIS absence from public view, the only official word on his illness was in November when Soviet officials said he had a "cold." And other Soviets predicted several times that Andropov would resume his public duties soon. The official Tass news agency an- nounced Andropov would be buried Tuesday in Red Square, and said party ideologist Konstantin Chernenko would See SOVIET, Page 7 Prof says Reagan should go to funeral By JACKIE YOUNG It is mostly speculation now what the effects of Soviet President Yuri An- dropov's death will have-on U.S. Soviet relations. But Andropov's death could provide a chance for U.S. and Soviet leaders to improve diplomatic relations, says University political science Prof. Alexander Yanov.

Reports'of a clandestine meeting in December between four of MSU's eight members of the board of trustees fueled a rumor that Mackey's reign as president may soon come to an end. ALTHOUGH the trustees would not confirm that a meeting actually took place, several media reports said yesterday that trustees Bobby Crim, Malcom Dade, Patrick Wilson, and Blanche Martin met to decide whether or not Mackey should continue as the university's president. The other trustees, including chairwoman Barbara Sawyer, reportedly were not invited. Dade refused to comment on the meeting. "I WILL neither confirm no deny or comment on the meeting," he said yesterday. "I won't answer any questions about those rumors." Mackey, 55, former president of Texas Tech University and the University of South Florida, came to the East Lan- sing school in 1979 after an 18-month search. He quickly earned some powerful enemies, especially during his two-year battle with the MSU Alumni Association. Mackey tried to force the independent group to become part of the university. The group finally split from the university in 1981. MORE RECENTLY, Mackey has been the subject of See MSU, Page 3 Daily Photo by DAVID FRANKEL See-saw.

Business *school to buy computers By THOMAS MILLER The University's School of Business Ad- ministration yesterday unveiled an agreement with Burroughs Corporation that will provide the school with a multi-million dollar computer system. The announcement of the pact comes less than three weeks after the University and Apple Computers Inc. revealed a plan to offer discounted computers to University students and personnel. Apple is selling some of its computers at almost half the retail price: APPLE, ALONG with Apollo Computers, is also providing the College of Engineering with computers for its new system, the Computer Aided Engineering Network (CAEN). In addition, Burroughs also plans to sell microcomputers to University students, faculty, and staff at substantially reduced prices. Although the business school and Burroughs have yet to work out many of the details, the total value of the initial plan is expected to be $12 million. That figure includes approximately 500 computers with a retail value of about $6 million and a new facility to house the system which will cost nearly $6 million. THE SYSTEM reflects the trend towards greater academic and administrative use of. computers in the business school, said Gilbert Whitaker, dean of the business school. According to Whitaker, the agreement will make the school a leader in computer utilization. "We'll be a pioneer in the extent to which we are going to make computers a part of the school," Whitaker said. THE SCHOOL plans to get at least part of the system in by September 1, it should be working in full by early next year, Whitaker added. Charles Kinney, director of data systems for the business school, says the school opted for the Burroughs equipment over Apple and other suppliers because the Burroughs machine was "more business related." He says the computer has a number of ad- vantages over other competitors including the See SCHOOL, Page 3 ..,,....4> "r :a.. S ,,.,, ,,' .....,,., a....
