4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily -- Friday, September 14, 1984 Rebels refused "aid byBritain in SuthAfrica IN BRIEF ,, Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Six opposition leaders sought by security police took refuge in the British consulate in Durban yesterday and asked the British to intervene on their behalf. Officials denied the "request but did not force them to leave. Police, meanwhile, said they fatally shot a man who threw a gasoline bomb at a police bus in the black ghetto of Soweto near Johannesburg. He was the 41st person killed in rioting against the white-minority government since Aug. .31. "THE PERSON WHO threw the bomb was shot. He died on the way to the hospital," said police Lt. Hein Lourens. Near downtown Durban a bomb shat- tered an electrical substation, but police and witnesses said there were no casualties. Guerrillas fighting white- minority rule in South Africa have been blamed for a series of similar bom- bings. The six opposition leaders walked in- to the consulate at mid-morning and asked the British government to act as intermediary with the security police, according to John Hedley, a spokesman for the British Embassy in Durban. HEDLEY SAID Britain has "no legal status in the matter," and refused to in- tervene. He said Consul Simon Davey allowed the six to stay in the 7th-floor consulate offices through the day, and after the close of business at 4:30 p.m. By nightfall they were still in the building and the British officials were not forcing them out, Hedley said. Farook Neer, a spokesman for the six, denounced Britain for not agreeing to take up the politicians' case. Regents to relocate, (Continued from Page 1) taken on the code during the summer while students were away or before Oc- .ober. Next month has become the target date for regental action among student activists and leaders and ad- :rinistrators. While University officials would not confirm that the code will be on the Oc- tober regent's agenda, several said the regents would probably wait until they were in town to discuss the issue. The regents will hold the second day of their two-day meeting in Ann Arbor on Oct. 19. "(The regents) wouldn't take (the code) up in Dearborn. It's too impor- tant," said Richard Kennedy, vice president for state relations and secretary of the University. "I haven't been a party to any con- versations of when it will be discussed," Kennedy said. Affirmative Action Director Virginia Nordby said "no decision has been made on when the code will be discussed as far as I know."

Budget amendment reaches deadli~ne Hurricane dumps more rain; WILMINGTON, N.C. - Hurricane Diana stood astride the North Carolia coast like a savage colossus yesterday, hammering it with hurricane-fore winds and torrential rains for more than half a day: "We are hurt and we are hurt bad," said Police Chief Bill Coring at So th- port near Cape Fear, where the storm crashed ashore with 115 mph winds at 1:10 a.m. EDT. Flooded roads cut off several coast towns, including Southport, and resci helicopters were unable to get into the air because of the winds which raged at 75 mph through midday. Damage estimates from just three beach towns totaled $20 million, indicating the total figure would be in the hundreds of millions. Winds began to subside lightly as the huge storm moved slowed inland, but there was no letup in the blinding rain. "We are~goig to have great damag from flooding," said Gov. Jim Hunt after a tour of Wilmington. "We expect 10 to15 inches of rain on top of the 101 we had already." Mondale faces hostile students TUPPLO, Miss. (AP) - Walter F. Mondale, encountering hostility in, southern territory friendly to Ronald Reagan, said yesterday that the. president's cuts in health care for the elderly amounted to "official cruelty. Mondale also toughened his rhetoric against Reagan, this time attackig the administration's proposed cuts on Social Security and Medicare. If Reagan is re-elected, Mondale warned, "he is going to savage Social Security." The former vice president spoke to several hundred students and residents of Tupelo in a swelting auditorium in Topelo High School, where he was frequently interrupted by boos and shouts of pro-Reagan sentiments from about 200 young people in the crowd. Many of the hecklers arrived in a group from Lakeview Baptist School, Midway though Mondale's speech, on signal from a teacher named Bob McHouston, they began leaving the gymnasium to assemble outside near the door through which Mondale would leave. There they confronted pro-Mondale students, many of whom were black,. Shouts of "nigger go home" were heard as students in both groups pushed and shoved, each otherand some signs were torn up. Among signs they carried was one which said, "Southerners for Reagan." Pope preaches economic ideas MONOTON, New Brunswick - Pope John Paul II is traveling throulgl Canada's economically depressed Maritime provinces calling on the capitalist West to show less concern about making money andmore for the, needs of people. He gave his firm support to the Canadian bishops' call for governments to make jobs their top priority. And his words come as American bishops aire preparing their own economic statement. The pope's speeches amount to a slashing indictment of aspects of the capitalist system, as he urges governments to re-order their economic priorities "so that human needs be put before mere financial gain." "The social doctrine of the church requires us to emphasize the primacy of the human person in the productive process, the primacy of people o6vr things," the pontiff told Newfoundland's cod fishermen Wednesday. The pope's economic ideas are the outgrowth of long-standing church positions calling for a review of the international economic system and in- ternational trade agreements. All-woman Philippine riot squad disperse 500 women protesters MANILA, Philippines - The military's all-women riot squad dispersed 500 women demonstators near the presidentail palace yesterday by flashing peace signs, shaking hands and chanting "peace, peace." It may have been the most blatant government response to a demon- stration in memory and ended with the women police waving goodbye to the protesters and inviting them to come again. Still, Manila Police Chief Gen. Narciso Cabrera, the officer in charge, was prepared for any break in decorum. Several yards behind the officers were men with shields and truncheons. The demonstration against the construction of a nuclear power plant was the first ever handled by the female police, formed by the Marcos gover- nment and trained in cajolery to deal with ever-increasing numbers of women protesters. The women riot police stood smiling face-to-face with the women demon- strators, blocking their way across a bridge to the palace of President Fer- dinand Marcos. Israeli head seeks endorsement JERUSALEM - Prime Minister-designate Shimon Peres asked the Israeli Parliment yesterday to endorse a national unity Cabinet, to give him authority to deal with the country's urgent challenges and to negotiate peace ; with the Arabs. Backed by one of the largest coalitions in Israel's history, Peres was assured of winning a vote of confidence last night. Peres went before Parliament hours after he signed an agreement with outgoing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir to set up a bipartisan government. The pact ended seven weeks of bairgaining between Peres' Labor Parity and Shamir's Likud bloc over setting up a new government. Neither major party emerged from the July 23 election ith enough seats in the 120- member Parliment to form a government. But the unprecedented power-sharing arrangement with the rival Likid bloc, in what Peres himself called "a government of disagreement," ap- peared to doom his 25-member Cabinet to endless arguments and to rule out Sany bold foreign policy initiatives.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted for the amendment, as House supporters scrambled to collect 218 signatures by the end of the day, the deadline for forcing a vote on the issue without action by the House Judiciary Committee. BY YESTERDAY morning, House supporters had collected about 90 signatures on their discharge petition, according to an aide to Rep. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, head of the petition drive. The current Congress is scheduled to end Oct. 5. The identical measures would require Congress to adopt a balanced budget resolution every year - begin- ning this decade - except in time of war or if three-fifths of both House and Senate voted to approve a deficit. r 10" Plane cruises city streets New classes begin Sept. 10 -For current class schedule and more information call 995-4242 1-5 weekdays.

Further down the sidewalk LSA sophomore Lorin Rosen and LSA freshman Vicky Sternberg had engaged in several activities. "WE PLAYED Monopoly because Trivial Pursuit is cliche," said Ster- nberg. "Then we played Old Maid, Sit, and Go Fish to prove you don't grow up in college." A few dedicated students were working on their homework. "I've got my music, homework, cheese crackers, what else do I need?" said LSA junior Dave Ascher, while Cindi Hardian discussed Freudian psychology with engineering students Bob Mara, Keith Haxey, and Fredd Bonner.

The Niles Community in Niles has not always been as trouble-free. In 1982, the Moral Majority and Life Action, a religion-based group, requested that A View from Another Closet by Janet Bode and other books dealing with homosexuality be banned from the library. The books, they claimed, were a corrupting influence on young people. "A lot of pressure was put on (the library)," said Anne Freese of the Niles Community Library. INCLUDED IN the pressure tactics were letters written by U.S. Congressional Represen- tative Guy Siljander (R-Three Rivers) that favored the ban. Said Freese, "Our Board of Directors refused to remove any books on homosexuality. We have a book selec- tion policy...the field of intelligentsia has to be kept open for any inquiring mind." ~Ji I*trhipan Uai-1V Vol. XCV- No.8 Member of the Associated Press The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967X) is published Tuesday through Sun- day during the fall and winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday durifigQ the spring and summer terms by students at the University of Michigan."
