4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 8, 1984 Shapiro answers questions from Bursley students IN BRIEF By PETE WILLIAMS One day after the University had 11 protesters arrested for demonstrating in a laboratory against military resear- ch, President Harold Shapiro said he is concerned about attempts to shut down University research. "It is very dangerous to have a moral orthodoxy at the University," Shapiro told 50 students in a question-and- answer session at Bursley Hall. "Why not let every faculty member, student, and administrator have their own opinions?" he asked. SHAPIRO SAID THE University's defense department-sponsored resear- ch has many applications besides military ones. Several of the students at the session expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of teaching assistants at the THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 University, and asked why there isn't a more stringent process for selecting TAs.' One student said he found his lectures a waste of time, and learned more just by reading his textbook. SHAPIRO ACKNOWLEDGED that there are some problems with the quality of the University's TAs and said the administration is trying to ensure that alVTAs are qualified before they step in front of a class. "In my opinion, there is no excuse for putting an incompetent teacher in a classroom," he said. ON A LIGHTER note, Shapiro pleaded ignorance when a student complained about bursting heating pipes in the dormitory. He said the problems may have stemmed from only having a "skeleton crew" doing maintenance over Christmas break when many residence halls experience flooding and damage after pipes burst. Shapiroacknowledged that he is con- cerned that the University is becoming increasingly expensive for students, but he said. "We can't run quality programs by wishing. We can only run quality programs with resources. "We made a choice to defend the quality of our programs, and that has a direct affect on tuition," he said.

Rebel fighting in Beirut You can ... advertise your 0 get rid of an unwanted pet, and find fulfillment, ... = T I t ^ j kills land VWIEUR, Lebanon (UPI) - Fighting between Moslem and Christian factions killed one person and wounded 14 others yesterday as President Amin Gemayel met a Vatican envoy who expressed the pope's "deep desire for Lebanon's unity." The sporadic clashes did not disrupt planning for the scheduled resumption of reconciliation talks among the warring factions Monday in Swit- zerland. ARCHBISHOP Marid Brini met with Gemayel at the presidential palace in the east Beirut suburb of Baabda and, conveyed d I'ssage 'of support from Pope John al I. "I have delivered a message to the president from the holy pope, ex- pressing his deep desire for Lebanon's wounds 14 unity," Brini told .reporters after his talks with the embattled Maronite Christian president. Brini, 75, former secretary of the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for Eastern Rite Churches, planned to fly to Damascus today to deliver a message to Syrian President Hafez Assad, who backs the Moslem in- surgents fighting for more political power in Lebanon. Saudi Arabian mediator Rafik Hariri also arrived for talks with Gemayel and, Foreign Minister Elie Salem. No details of the discussions were disclosed. Scattered fighting rattled the "green ine" dividing Christian east and Moslem west Beirut, with Moslem militiamen trading maching gun and rocket-grenade fire with government troops. 1 Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Police recapture escaped convict MARION, N.C. - Police yesterday recaptured a "most dangerous" escaped convict from Tennessee, hours after officers gunned down his par-' tner, a double murderer who earlier had eluded police in a shootout at a blind' couple's home.Y The fugitive, James Clegg, "is in custody," said North Carolina Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeter Wilds. Details of the arrest were not immediately released. A fellow escapee, Ronald Lee Freeman, 41, was killed earlier yesterday in a gun battle with police in an abandoned house in this western North Carolina community. Police had trailed him with bloodhounds from the blind couple's home, where Freeman had broken in early in the morning. But the woman suffered a heart attack and one of the people who came to, help her called police. While Clegg, 30, was still at large, residents of a Marion neighborhood voluntarily left their homes so police could search every house. The two men, both "armed and dangerous," escaped from a Tennessee prison last month and had vowed not to be captured alive. "We think Clegg is by far the most dangerous of the two men," said Mc- Dowell County District Attorney Alan Leonard. Subcommi tte demands details of U.S. Central American policy WASHINGTON - A House Appropriations subcommittee yesterday told Reagan administration officials not to expect "a dime" more for military construction in Honduras until U.S. plans in that Central American nation are spelled out. Democrats and a Republican on the military construction subcommittee expressed annoyance over the administration's failure to submit a report on those plans requested by Congress'last fall. The clash was the latest flare-up of congressional suspicion about U.S. military plans in Honduras. "We in the Congress and the American people are literally in the dark about what our government is doing in Central America," said Rep. Bill Alexander, (D-Ark.). "I'm not willing to give you one dime until you tell this: committee what you're up to." Congressional Democrats have accused the administration of building a network of permanent and semi-permanent military bases in Honduras un-: der the guise of conducting joint military exercises. The administration,: however, insists the facilities are only temporary. Subcommittee members demanded that the administration provide a full: accounting of its construction plans in Honduras before the panel will act on an $8.7 million request for Honduran construction next year. Lawyer admits to helping killer CLINTON, Tenn. - A female defense lawyer who spent five months on the run with a prison killer pleaded guilty yesterday to helping him escape, in a plea bargain that could allow her to be released on probation. Mary Evans, 27, pleaded guilty to an escape charge in exchange for a prosecutor's recommendation that she receive a suspended prison sentence of one to three years and psychiatric care. Charges of aggravated kidnapping and armed robbery were dropped. William Kirk, 37, who was brought from the Tennessee State Prison in Nashville, pleaded guilty to armed robbery and escape. Prosecutors recommended sentences of 35 and five years and dropped aggravated kid- napping charges. A state psychiatrist has said that Evans apparently had fallen in love with Kirk while preparing to defend him on a murder charge. Filipinos rally against elections MANILA, Philippines - Tens of thousands of Filipinos climaxed a seven- day march from the provinces yesterday with the biggest anti-election rally yet. They marched to a seaside park as office workers saluted them with. confetti and students left class to join their ranks. More than 70,000 protestors seeking a boycott of National Assembly elec- tions in May rallied for four hours at the Rizal Park as riot police guarded bridges and streets leading to President Ferdinand Marcos' Malacanang Palace. Diplomats say the elections are vital to Marcos' credibility after the political and economic instability that has followed the Aug. Z1 assassination of Benigno Aquino. Aquino was gunned down as he stopped from a plane in Manila after three years in the United States, and many Filipinos feel the government is responsible. Marcos says he was shot by a communist agent. A civilian panel is investigating. A boycott movement has split the opposition between those ho believe: participation in the elections will hasten Marcos' removal from 18 years in: power and those who say participation will only give his regime a mantle of legitimacy. Bartender testifies in rape trial FALL RIVER, Mass. - Three men returned to a tavern and talked about their role in a gang rape the day after a woman reported being raped on the bar's pool table as patrons cheered, a bartender testified yesterday. Daniel Cunha said he was tending bar at Big Dan's tavern on the morning after the rape was reported when he overheard a conversation among three defendents - Daniel Silvia, Virgilio Medeiros and Jose Medeiros, whom he called "the blond one." Silvia said the Medeiros men, who are not related, are among six men charged in the March 6, 1983, rape of a 22-year-old woman at the bar in near- by New Bedford. The woman has testified that Silvia and Joseph Vieira took turns raping her on the pool table. She said one of the two forced her to perform oral sex and that another man, John Cordeiro, also tried to force her to perform oral sex.

"I THINK I saw the person who placed the bomb," Pinsker said, recalling in particular one passenger carrying a white box who claimed he had gotton the bus "by mistake." The army radio said a hand grenade attached to a timer was used in the at- tack, Pinsker said he was slammed against the bus window by the force of the blast, but he continued to drive 'a little fur- ther," put on the emergency brakes and opened the doors. "There was shouting. Some of the wounded got off. Those that couldn't remained and were evacuated later," he said. The bus blast was the first such in- cident in Ashdod. It followed a bombing incident at a clothing store in Jerusalem Feb. 28 that injur'ed 21 people.
