The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 12, 1984 - Page 3 _.. Ferraro's visit muddled by By JACKIE YOUNG AND GEORGEA KOVANIS Special to the Daily FLINT -They came to the Hyatt Regency waving fist-sized American flags, some sporting the "Gerry Ferraro Hair- cut," but the Democratic vice presidential candidate didn't make her scheduled appearance at the hotel to address the crowd of around 600. Instead, three hours after she was planned to speak, she arrived at the Bishop International Airport to be greeted by only a small group of mostly female supporters. BUT THE DAY'S mishaps - wet weather and an airplane breakdown cancelled two scheduled speeches - did not douse the spirits of those who travelled to Flint to support or protest the Democratic ticket. Close to 40 members of an anti-abortion group moved in- doors, hoping to show the Mondale-Ferraro boosters their discontent with the Democrats' "pro-choice" stance on the .issue. When they began a chorus of "Life yes, Ferraro no" and held up their signs declaring abortion as murder, the Democrats, who far outnumbered the group, decided the protesters wouldn't steal the show. They countered the protester's chants with "We want Ferraro" and "Reagan is a murderer." THINGS GREW tense inside the Hyatt ballroom as it became clear that something had happened to Ferraro's air- plane. One Mondale-Ferraro supporter didn't approve of Rev. Harvey Anderson's pro-life rhetoric and grabbed at the poster he had been waving. Anderson exchanged words and a delays shove with the other man. Later, the two men exchanged some blows and police questioned him. But Anderson returned minutes later to aid the pro-life congregation in its attempt to outshout the Democrats. "TAKE YOUR slavery home. We want freedom for women," screamed one Mondale supporter. "Ferraro's a true barbarian. She voted in favor of fetal experiments," shouted Lynn Mills, a pro-life activist, as she showed a young boy pictures of a woman going through an abortion. When Ferraro's plane finally landed in Flint, the crowd had thinned to around 100 and the protesters were gone. Making the best of a fouled up day on the campaign trail, Ferraro admitted that while she could remedy budget problems and could handle negotiations with the Soviet Union, she could not fix the wheel of her airplane which broke down in Toledo, Ohio. Ferraro then went on to say "the pundits are wrong" about her ticket's chances in November. She urged voters to con- sider the effects high interest rates have on the auto industry, saying that they have made it difficult for average citizens to buy cars. Ferraro said voters must think not only about today but about the country in the next 25 years and the impact another Reagan term would have on the environment, the Supreme Court, and already high deficits. Ferraro attacked President Reagan's refusal to release his plan for cutting taxes and lauded Mondale's openness in ad- mitting that taxes have to be raised. Questionedabout the continued appearance of anti-abortion protesters at her campaign stops, Ferraro said "This is America. That is part of the beauty of this country - people speaking out."

'U'pro. jins race for m ayor University Prof. Bunyan Bryant will announce his candidacy for city mayor today, according to a statement released yesterday by his election committee. Bryant, a natural resources professor who has never held public office, said yesterday that his administration would take a special interest in city planning and development. "IF WE DEVELOP too quickly, it's going to destroy some of the character of the city as we know it," he said. He said he would attempt to slow the process of development until the city could plan effectively. "I am for growth, he said. "It's a question of the direction and the rate we should be going." HE ALSO SAID that the planning should not be left only in the hands of the city's financial elite and industry. "It seems to me that there are people who come in from outside of Ann Arbor and who very often get tax abatements for their industry," he said. "We have to look very carefully at the whole issue of tax abatements." Bryant said he will also emphasize day care for children and hopes to set facilities up at many of the city's in- dustrial firms. BRYANT SAID HE would also like to tackle the city's parking problem. Bryant said his experience with town and country planning, his deep com- mitment in civil rights will help him win the election. Bryant said he will strive to make city council pass civil rights legislation and policies. "I think that I will bring a view to the office of mayor that is new and refreshing," Bryant said. "I think I have a good chance of winning on terms of my background of social justice," he added. In February's Democratic primary, Bryant will face former State Senator Edward Pierce. Mayor Louis Belcher, (a Republican,) has announced repeatedly that he will not seek election after seven years in office. Businessman Richard Hadler is run- ning unopposed on the Republican side of the ticket. Kremlin talks star wars (Continued from page 1) "The Soviet Union hopes that talks will be conducted aimed at specifically preventing the arms race in outer space," said Velikhov said. "The problem as I see it is the United States." "From the position of principle, I believe there exists a good possibility for quick and fundamental accord," he said. Velikhov, who in his capacity at the academy advises the Kremlin on space weapons, said the Soviets will maintain a moratorium on testing space weapons as long as the United States also does so. . rv ant ..focuses on city development MSA awaits reimbursement from PSN By MARCY FLEISHER fThe Michigan Student Assembly voted last night to withhold all privileges granted to the Progressive Student Network (PSN) until the group repays a $100 loan which the assembly granted them last year.
