Women protest U.S. missiles in England The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 30, 1984 - page 9 Hunter encourages GREENHAM COMMON, England AP) - Defiant women protesters have endured cold, jail terms, fines, court in- junctions and demolition squads for two-and-a-half years in makeshift camps outside this cruise missile base. But bureaucracy, with bulldozers looming behind, is tightening its control around the world's. best-known "peace camp." Frustrated officials hope to drive away the women whom guards, patrol dogs and barbed wire have failed to intimidate. "I THINK they're finally going to throw the book at us this time," said Hazel Pegg, 24, a college dropout who came here 15 months ago. "But we won't go. Some women may give up, but others will come." Pegg was with 20 other women wearing jeans and muddy boots as they boiled lunchtime .eggsover a fire out- side the main gate of the U.S. Air Force base where U.S. nuclear-tipped cruise isiles are deployed. Established Sept. 5, 1981, after NATO announced its plans to deploy 96 U.S. cruise missiles at the base 50 miles west of London, the camp is the oldest of seven strung round the nine-mile perimeter fence. The camps - clusters of plastic sheeting, broken furniture, fluttering peace symbols, and over- flowing garbage cans - have rotating populations of between a half-dozen and 50 women. THE WOMEN'S protest is based on a combination of pacifism, anti-nuclear sentiment and feminism; men are not permitted to join. Since the protest began, about 1,500 women have been fined, mainly for breaking into the base or blocking roads, Pegg estimated, and another 500 jailed for between a week and a month. In addition to the 96 missiles at Greenham Common, another 64 cruise missiles are scheduled to be deployed at Molesworth near Cambridge by 1988. The missiles are part of the total of 572 cruise and Pershing 2 mid-range nuclear missiles NATO has agreed to deploy in Britain, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands to coun- ter Soviet SS-20s already in place Eastern Europe. MOST OF THE camps are on land owned either by the local Newbury District Council or the largerBerkshire' County Council, which have stepped up attempts to evict the women since Feb. 25 when 'the councils decided on joint action. The joint push against the women's camps by the councils, both controlled by the ruling Conservative Party, appears to have had little effect sofar. But the Transport Department has said it means business. "We know what a sensitive issue this is and it's just not true to say we're doing it in conspiracy with the councils," said spokeswoman Trudy Shah. "We need the land. If they don't go, bailiffs will move them physically. Don't ask me how they'll do it, but we're going to start work on April 2 or thereafter," she said. Last month, the Defense Ministry discovered it owhs a patch of land on which one camp is located. "We're con- sidering what to do...we'll do something," said a spokesman. "We don't really know what's going to happen now either, but somehow it'll continue," said American Teresa Fit- zgibbon, 47, of Trenton, N.J., a former teacher-who splits her timehbetweenher apartment in London anid the camps. downtown (Continued from Page 1) paying for the programs and letting a non-profit organization run daily operations. BUT THE recent plan by a local non- profit group to purchase an old church and convert it into a homeless shelter is temporarily stalled due to funding problems. Council initially considered advancing a $25,000 downpayment on the shelter, but delayed " making a decision at this week's meeting. Council put off the vote, according to Hunter, because members are concer- ned about their public images. Council backed off on their offer to avoid com- plaints by residents of Lune Terrace, a senior citizens home, near the old chur- ch on West Huron Street. But Council's delay will only increase tensions between neighborhood residents and those using the shelter, Hunter said. "THEY JUST, in my opinion, did not have the courage to deal with the decision they had to make," says Hun- ter. Despite Hunter's concern that the city pay more attention to human ser- vices, Hunter favors downtown expan- -- 41T7 W4 FRIDAY MARC AND SATURDAY MARC EAST QUAD CAREER WORKSHOPS AN EDUCATION TECHN LABOR SOCIAL SEI HEALTH SERVICES MEDIA LAW/GOV r9 = rrra rr PSrrrr expansion sion - unlike many of his fellow Democratic Council members. "You've got to have some planned growth," he says. But that expansion must serve interests of the city and not simply increase the tax base. Republican councilmembers rely too heavily on market considerations when deciding where or how the city should expand instead of focusing on what ser- vices are needed, he says. "I believe the market is a factor, but not the only factor," he says. Hunter has served on Council since 1982 and worked last year as a minority student research for the Michigan Student Assembly. For the first time since 1978, Democrats have a shot at gaining con- trol on Council. If that happens, Hunter expects some changes, but cautions that the GOP will "still have the mayor's veto."

"I think students who may have wan- ted some type of code wouldn't have known how to vote. I think people were voting so quickly that in a lot of cases people were responding to the screams of 'vote no, no, around campus," said Page, an LSA junior who ran on the SMART party's ticket in the elections. PAGE SAID that he personally voted 'Yes' on the first question, because he feels that the University should adopt some type of code. He said that he hopes MSA would work with the ad- ministration and students to draft a code that is agreeable to both groups. On the second ballot question, 92 percent of the 3,864 students who voted said that the University and the MSA should not support a code without first putting it to a student vote. Communications Prof. William Comburn said the results of the election 1984 he SUMMER are "very encouraging" for those who support the code, however. "I think when you get almost 20% supporting (the code), that's fantastic." Colburn chaired the committee that originally wrote the code last winter. Colburn said that the results are especially exciting because of the vocal opposition to the code in recent months. Colburn was also critical of the Daily's coverage of the code. '-'The major source of information for students, The Michigan Daily, has provided no positive information on the code," said Colburn. "If we had an equal chance, I'm quite sure we would have come out on top."
