The Michigan Daily - Sunday, September 9, 1984 - Page 33 r Require Congress' OK nuclear arms use-activist an arms-control advocac groupeladun- ched a campaign yesterday to require. the approval of a special congressional committee before the president could use nuclear weapons to respond to a conventional Soviet attack on Western Europe. Jeremy Stone, director of the 5,000- member Federation of American Scientists, argued that by using nuclear weapons first, a president would, in ef- fect, be declaring general nuclear war and inviting an atomic attack on the United States through escalation. "WITHIN hours of the president's first use of nuclear weapons, nuclear retaliation could lead to the end of the United States," he wrote in the fall issue of Foreign Policy magazine. Stone drew the support of a leading constitutional scholar, Raoul Berger. The former Harvard professor said only Congress has the legal power to declare war. "Those who espouse a contrary theory just want to have an unbridled presidency, and what that led to is Watergate," Berger said at a news con- ference with Stone last week. BUT THE Pentagon disagreed with Stone's contention that the Constitution prohibits the president from using 'Within hours of the president's first use of nuclear weapons, nuclear retaliation COuld lead to the end of the United States.' - Prm Stone Director, American Federation of AmeriCan Scientists Associated Press Double teamed Democratic Vice-President candidate Geraldine Ferraro shares a laugh with Congressional candidate Barry Robbins and U.S. Senate candidate Eliza beth Mitchell in Portland, Maine yesterday during a three hour campaign visit. Mascot's motion raises stink at convention nuclear weapons first - without the consent of Congress - if a NATO ally is invaded. The Defense Department's general counsel, Chapman Cox, wrote Stone that the alliance has succeeded in deterring attack because the ootential aggressor is convinced that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization "is indeed ready to use any of the weapons it possesses, including nuclear weapons." Involving Congress "would threaten NATO's ability to deter Soviet aggression" and "tend to undermine NATO's deterrance policy," Cox added. IN AN interview, Stone said all recent presidents have threatened to use nuclear weapons first in the event of conventional hostilities in Europe. But he said it was "unnecessary, unwise, unconstitutional and unlawful to leave The University of Michigan Mass Meetin Monday, Sept. 10, 7:00 p.m. Anderson Room, Mich.

Stone said he did not question the president's authority to use nuclear weapons if the United States was under nuclear attack. But he said in a conventional war in Europe, -the president would have "hours and days" to consult with his advisers and with the allied gover- nments. "Obviously, there would be' time enough to consult with Congress itself or with a special committee ap- pointed for this purpose," he said. A moment of silence to f ocus te work we are doing this aCademic year on caring for humanity and the Monday, Sept. 10 12 noon On t he D iag By SEAN JACKSON Special to the Daily DETROIT -- Vice President George Bush headed the list of special guests at the Republican convention here yesterday, but just before his speech a very special guest made a unique motion on the convention ~floor. :Draped in one American flag and carrying another in his trunk, Jack the Live Elephant was slowly making his way through Cobo Hall. Although Jack appeared happy to be his party's mascot,. he wasn't too proud to relieve himself right in front of a group of delegates. THAT MESS was quickly covered up with newspaper by convention organizers, and the 1,800 people in the hall turned their attention to Bush's words. Another interesting observer in the hall - this one talked and only walked on two legs - was Arch- duke Karl von Habsburg, a law student at Salzburg University in Austria. Von Habsburg, whose grandfather was the last emperor of Austria-Hungary, said Bush gave "an ex- cellent speech." He said he was particularly im- pressed by Bush's statements on defense. "It was good that he mentioned the stationing of the missiles in Germany." In his work with the German parliament, von Hlab- sburg said he has sampled the opinions of West Ger- mans on the deployment of American Pershing II missiles and found that the well-publicized demon- strators who oppose the missiles do not represent the majority of Germans. "THAT GROUP of demonstrators can be paid to demonstrate on anything, and will say anything," he explained. Von Habsburg is confident that Bush and President Ronald Reagan are seen as friends in West Germany. "Germans are fond of the American executives," he said. Germans are also fond of the support from the American military, according to the law student,. but he believes the European countries should help carry the burden of defense. "I think it's ridiculous for 220 million Americans to defend 250 million Europeans, we appreciate the American military support, but I think Europeans should work better together to improve th ir defen- se." For conventioneers who did not want to follow the elephant, listen to speeches, or bump into the gran- dson of Austria - Hungary's last emperor, there were plentyi of other things to do around Cobo Hall. TH ERE WAS a $25 per ticket reception where delegates, but not the elephant, could drink vodka, wine, cognac, or gin and listen to Bush drum up sup- port for the Republican Party of Michigan and urge delegates to give their time to the presidential cam- paign to ensure a Reagan-Bush victory. Following the luncheon the delegates returned to the convention floor for the nominating speeches and the voting on candidates (contiuedfo Pae: try's deficit which is expected to top $175 billion this month. He said the party is gong to "kepo trying to control completely at fault because Congress spends the money. "They appropriate Ievery dime, don't they?" The administration will continue to spend money on defense until it no longer becomes necessary to spend the money, he said. Bush said he would favor holding a constitutional convention which could r-equire a balanced budget. However he said this convention should be limited to one issue - the budget - and not school prayer or abortion.

"We're always trying to keep the Saudience pumped up . .. so it will help the team spirit," Kotchenruther said. "One of the goals of the band is to keep the fans fired up." Flag girl Lisa Jozwick, a junior, said her role is "along the same lines as pom pon girls - getting fans enthusiastic and going along with the rhythm and beat." POM PON GIRL Michelle Bernier said "I think we do our share," she ad- ded. "We try our best. The fans catch on fast." * The entrepreneurs, like junior Amy Goldman, who was selling Michigan painters' caps on the street prior to yesterday's opener. "'Everyone loves them," she said, adding tiiat the caps "definitely contribute" to the crowd's spirit. Steve Dean, who was peddling maize and blue butterscoth-flavored popcorn before the game, said the pre-game sales are an important part of a football Saturday. "It's the whole idea of U of M games," he said. In addition to raising money for his high school basketball team, Richard Price said he was selling yellow 'M' towels to "get the whole stadium cheering for Michigan." As the more than 105,000 fans prepared for the ritual of football Saturday, LSA student Karen Hyman, who hopes to go to medical school, said she had better things to do with her time. "Michigan football is boring, but I'm going to a party after the game."
