I Page 2 - The Michigan Daily -Wednesday, March 7, 1984 Jackson attacks Mondale, Hart 'in state tour, SAGINAW (UPI- - Jesse Jackson rebounded from the twin setbacks of a toothache and balky airplane to warn fellow campaigners Gary Hart and Walter Mondale to act "like grownups" and to .tell off industry during his Michigan campaign swing yesterday. The Democratic contender was hours late at a Saginaw high school where an enthusiastic crowd of about 1,500 passed the waiting time listening to speeches and gospel hymns. HIS BITING critique of America' s private sector to the audience from the economically-depressed auto town said that there has been "much too little focus on the private sector." He ac- cused corporations of replacing "'Robert with robots" and exporting jobs overseas. In a similar vein at Flint in the late afternoon Jackson told a much smaller crowd of 350-400 at the City Council chamber that "the private economy has imposed chemical warfare on the American people" in the form of Join the Daily News Staff! Michigras offers week-long party By SUSAN MAKUCH So Mom and Dad said no to that trip down to the Mardi Gras this year. Well, don't fret about it - Michigras is here. The University Activities Center's version of the Fat Tuesday festival begins tonight in the U-Club with an avalanche of humor at the Comedy Cavalcade. MARDI GRAS is an annual celebration which takes place the uesday before lent, but student's who can't spare the time (or money) to party in New Orleans, will have the chance to do it in good ol' Ann Arbor for the next four days. What began as the Spring Carnival about 50 years ago, evolved into Michigras in the early 1970s. UAC wan- ted that Mardi Gras flavor, according to Michigras chairman Rob Markus, so the name was changed to reflect that essence. The sole purpose of Michigras, is "to party and to have a good time," Markus said. "This is just about the time that students are bogged down with mid- terms and papers, so we want them to just have fun for a few days." UAC MEMBERS are singing "All Night Long" - the theme for the week - and they mean it. "The song fits," Markus said. "It is gonna be a party all night long!" A new addition to the festivities is the Michilympics, a team sport that spans three days, and seven truly athletic events such as jello snarfing and pizza eating. The three-man and three- woman teams have until noon tomorrow to register for the "ilym- pics." Other highlights include "Pro-Bar Night" with Dooley's, Rick's and The Count offering competing drink prices tomorrow evening; "Battle of the Ban- ds," where eight local bands vie for the championship title tomorrow, Friday and Saturday nights; the Billy Frye Fry, where the University vice president gets toasted to a CRISP Friday evening; and a casino night on Saturday. Jackson ...plans Ann Arbor visit pollution. He said he does not necessarily oppose tax breaks for businessbut that corporations "should be obligated once they get the tax dollars to reinvest." At both stops Jackson criticized military spending. He noted in Saginaw that Michigan received a very poor return on its federal tax dollar. IN FLINT he took several jabs at Gary Hart and Walter Mondale on defense and other issues. He said Mondale leans on the late Hubert Humphrey and Hart on the late John Kennedy. "Both need to stand up on their own feet like grown folks," Jackson said. Jackson started out the day with a toothache and an airplane with a faulty engine thatcaused him to cancel his first two scheduled stops at Grand Rapids and the state capital in Lansing. CAMPAIGN OFFICIALS said Jackson would try to reschedule at least one of the missed stops on March 14 for a tour which will include a stop in Ann Arbor. Tiro arrested in steam tunnel By RANDI HARRIS Two University students were arrested yesterday for unlawful entry into the underground steam tunnels, according to Ann Arbor police. The pair, who said they were looking around, were released, but the police plan to interview the students before deciding whether to prosecute, said Sgt. Harold Tinsey. The tunnels, which are large enough to walk through, contain pipes for steam heat and phone lines. The tun- nels can be entered through kiosks and through University buildings, though doors to these enterances are supposed to be locked. Unlawful entry is considered a misdemeanor with a sentence of up to 90 days in jail, said Tinsey. The University usually presses charges against steam tunnel intruders, he ad- ded. IN BRIEF Compled from Associated Press and United Press International reports UAW president opens bargaining with threat of summer strike DETROIT - United Auto Workers President Owen Bieber told cheering delegates at the union's bargaining convention yesterday that General Motors Corp. or Ford Motor Co. could face a strike this summer unless they "share their abundance with us." "The corporations are making money and the workers deserve their fair share of those profits," Bieber said to the 2,500 delegates. The three-day convention was called to plan strategy for labor talks with 14 corporations, GM and Ford chief among them. Both automakers, after suffering a four-year sales slump, enjoyed record profits last year - $3.73 billion for GM and $1.87 billion at Ford. Two years ago, UAW employees of the two companies gave up the equivalent of $3 billion in wages and benefits in their contracts. "We were responsible in 1982 when sales hit bottom and we agreed to share the hardship with the companies," Bieber declared. "Now it's their turn to be responsible by sharing their abundance with us." Tenn. escapees seen in N.C. may have shot police officer NEBO, N.C. - Two dangerous criminals who escaped from a Tennessee prison last month have been located in North Carolina where they are believed to have shot a highway patrolman, state officials said yesterday. "My information now is that they have been identified as the ones we are looking for," said state patrol Capt. Chester Sutton. Shotgun-toting troopers, some with bloodhounds, checked licenses and leads around Nebo, a McDowell County town in extreme western North Carolina where two men were believed to have fled after wounding Trooper L.B. Rector. The escapees - James Clegg and Ronald Lee Freeman - were con- sidered "armed and extremely dangerous," Sutton said. Iraq denies chemical warfare NICOSIA, Cyprus - Iraq denied yesterday that it had used chemical weapons against Iran and called the United States "unbalanced and hypocritical" for saying that it believed Iran's claims. Iraq also announced its forces launched a large scale counterattack to recapture the Majnoon Islands oil field. Iraq said if it couldn't regain control of the Majnoon, it might be driven to "destroy" Kharg Island, Iran's major oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf region. Iran, which seized Majnoon 10 days ago, verified that Iraq had launched a "massive" counterattack but said it was repulsed with heavy losses. The claims could not be independently verified. Foreign correspondents are rarely permitted in war zones during battles between Iranian and Iraqi forces. British warden slain by IRA BELFAST, Northern Ireland - Two IRA terrorists shot and killed a deputy warden of top-security Maze prison as he, his wife and 3-year-old daughter emerged from their house yesterday. The Irish Republican Army said the slaying of William McConnell was a "salutary lesson" to officials at the prison, which houses about 900 IRA guerrillas and Protestant prisoners. The gunmen approached McConnell on foot and fired several shots at point-blank range as his wife and daughter screamed, a police spokesman said. 'He died instantly," said the spokesman, who declined to be identified. The wife and daughter were not injured. Bill Wilson, chief of the Royal Ulster Constabulary police force, described the shooting as a "carefully planned, callous attack." "The prison officer ... came out of his house accompanied by his wife and 3-year-old child," the police spokesman said. "The two men then ran across the road and fired a number of shots at the prison officer. They made off in a silver Austin Metro car owned by an elderly couple." McConnell was the 22nd Maze official to be killed since 1976 by the IRA. Lebanese factions support talks BEIRUT, Lebanon - Druse and Moslem leaders said yesterday they would support a cease-fire in Lebanon and cooperate in next week's recon- ciliation talks now that President Amin Gemayel has met Syria's demand and canceled the Lebanon-Israel troop withdrawal agreement. Moslem and Christian militiamen exchanged gunfire across the "green line" dividing the capital city. But hostilities were at a significantly lower level following Monday's cancellation of the May 17 accord. FACED WITH the withdrawal of U.S. military support in Lebanon and beleaguered by Druse and Shiite Moslem militias, the Gemayel government agreed to scrap the pact after Gemayel met with President Hafez Assad of Syria. The action underlined Syria's growing influence over Lebanon and opened the way for talks on ending the civil war. The Syrian-supported Druse and Shiite militias also wanted the pact abrogated. Their leaders yesterdaysoftened their demands for Gemayel's resignation. Government sources, who declinedto be identified, said the conferees will be asked to form a new national coalition Cabinet and discuss "reorganizing the army," which split along religious lines during the latest round of civil warfare. bhe Mtrbtgan wat 1 Wednesday, March 7, 1984 Vol. XCIV-No. 123 (ISSN 0745-967X) The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
