Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 19, 1984 Religion issue favors Mondale From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - Pollster Louis Harris said yesterday that religion in politics is a volatile issue that could help make the election between President Reagan and Walter Mondale much closer than current polls indicate. Harris released results of a new telephone survey which show Reagan holding a 13-point lead over Mondale among 1,999 eligible voters, but he told reporters, "I expect the race to be closer." THE HARRIS Doll, taken Sept. 5-9, showed Reagan leading Mondale 55 percent to 42 percent with 3 percent un- decided. A survey taken Aug.- 24-25 registered a 55-40 split with 5 percent not sure whom they would vote for. Other recent polls have given Reagan a lead as wide as 30 percent. The Democratic nominee's own polls show him 12 points behind the president. Harris said the continuing debate over abortion, school prayer and the in- fluence of the Roman Catholic Church on politics will work in Mondale's favor in the seven weeks before the election. CAMPAIGNING on oppose coasts, Mondale and Ferraro took aim yester- day at the Reagan administration's record on arms control. "The fate of the earth is at stake," in the November elections, Ferraro said. "Today we have a president whose platform is committed to a policy of prevailing in a nuclear war," Mondale said at a campaign rally at the Univer- sity of Southern California. "No one will prevail in such a war. We need a president pledged to preventing a nuclear war.'' Mondale renewed his pledge to declare a moratorium on the testing of nuclear weapons and the testing and deployment of all space weapons and to contact$oviet leaders on his first day in office to request a summit to negotiate a "mutual, verifiable nuclear freeze." BOTH MONDALE and Ferraro have criticized Reagan for failing to meet with his Soviet counterpart during the first 32/2 years of his presidency. Reagan is scheduled to meet next week with Soviet Foreign Minister An- drei Gromyko - one day after Mondale sits down with the Kremlin official. The president, who remained in the White House for the second day in a row yesterday, has said that "one of my highest priorities is finding ways to reduce the level of arms and to improve our working relationship with the Soviet Union.'' THE REAGAN administration, con- tending its Central America policy finally is bearing fruit, now believes that issue will be a far less attractive target for the Democrats this fall than it once feared, officials say. Much of the divisiveness over President Reagan's El Salvador policy disappeared with the election of President Jose Napoleon Duarte in May. Moreover, a congressional rebuff of a request for an additional $21 million in aid to Nicaraguan rebels may have the ironic effect of making Reagan less vulnerable politically on that issue. Democrats have begun to mute their Reagan ... grants farm loan criticism of the administration. The Democratic platform says only that concern over Reagan's policies in the hemisphere has risen sharply and that the immediate objective of candidate Walter Mondale, if elected, "will be to stop the violence and pursue a negotiated political solution" in Central America. Reagan appears to have won the argument with his critics on El Salvador but lost it on Nicaragua. Mondale ... wants arms control State says U-Club violated liquor laws (Continued from Page 1) staff, and their guests. "I was not aware of a problem," he said. "Obviously, there must have been one." PROF. Charles Lehmann, president of the University Club Board of Directors, said that the board has not decided. what its response to the first citation will be. He said he was aware that a second violation had been reported, but had not received a formal citation from the state. Penalties for the violations range from fines of up to $300 for each violation, to suspension or revocation of the club's license, Keck said. Wosniak said that occasionally a commissioner will not penalize clubs or bars who violate licenses if there are extenuating circumstances and the problem has been solved. ALTHOUGH Keck would not com- ment specifically on sanctions for the U-Club violations, he said that penalties. "depend on the circumstan- ces. Sales to non-members is not un- common." Keck said that the problems may have resulted from U-Club managers confusing the two types of liquor licen- ses which the Union holds. The U-Club has started a stricter policy for checking student and faculty identifications at the bar. Members of the club who want to drink must wear a plastic bracelet and be stamped as over 21 years old. "WE HAVE gone to more extensive steps to assure that everyone in (the club) is a member of a sponsored guest," Cianciola said. The U-Club received its private club license in 1972 when several professors decided to turn the old faculty cafeteria in the Union into a nightclub and dining facility. For the first few years, the club was operated by a board of professors, students, and alumni who were appoin- ted by the University regents and set the broad policies for the bar and hired managers to run the daily operaton. NOW, HOWEVER, the U-Club is operated almost exclusively by the Union while the board of directors exists solely to retain possession of the liquor license, according to several board members. Board members warned that plublicity over the recent citation and reports of violations may stir up problems that have plagued the club's operators since its beginnings but which have tailed off in recent years. Some said that the recent problems could provide liquor control officials with an excuse to revoke the club's license. They have been forced< to deny other state universities similar licenses. Several years after the state granted the U-Club private status, courts ruled that all the property of public univer- sities belonged to the public, Keck said. WHEN OTHER universities applied for similar licenses, they were told that a private club could not exist on public property or be run by public officials, Keck said. The U-Club, however, retained its license throughout the change, he said. It is the only such club with a liquor license on a state supported campus, Keck said. "I suppose if you want to say it was grandfathered in, it was," Keck said, referring to the grandfather clause, which prohibited the new law from af- fecting clubs that had already been granted a license. If the U-Club was to lose its license, it would almost certainly not be able to regain it by re-applying, Keck said. POLICE NOTES BEIT MIDRASH Program of Jewish Studies FALL 1984 COURSES.

THE BLOOM COUNTY? d Now in IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Man gets 25 years in Chin case DETROIT - A former autoworker who got off with a fine of $3,700 and probation in a state court for clubbing a Chinese man to death was sentenced by a federal judge Tuesday to 25 years in prison for violating Vincent Chin's- civil rights. U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs-Taylor ordered Ronald Ebens to report Oct. 18 to be sent to a federal prison where he can receive treatment for alcohol abuse. Ebens has been free on $20,000 bond since his June 28 convic- tion. Chin, a 27-year-old engineer from Oak Park, was beaten with a baseball bat in Highland Park, Mi. after an argument with Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz, inside the Fancy Pants bar. Chin and some friends were in the strip joint celebrating his upcoming wedding. On June 28, the Jury found Ebens guilty of violating Chin's civil rights, but acquitted him of a conspiracy charge. Nitz was acquitted on both charges. Soviets may release crew soon MOSCOW - The captain of an American supply ship, who said his vessel was seized last week by Soviets and towed to a Siberian port, said yesterday that U.S. diplomats told him he and his four-man crew would be released "maybe in a day, maybe two." Capt. Tabb Thoms said he understood that he and his crew would be put back aboard their vessel - the supply ship Frieda K - and "escorted to the Soviet maritime boundary." But Thoms said Soviet officials still have not told him personally whether the sailors willbe freed from detention in Urelik in far northeastern Siberia. "They tell us very little and they won't tell us when we can go home," Thoms said in a telephone conversation. "They will tell us nothing about that." In Washington, the State Department said yesterday it has lodged a formal protest against Soviet handling of the case and expected the seamen would be released within 48 hours. Thomas told the AP that soviet officials have been asking them to sign papers acknowledging that they were in Soviet waters. The vessel was due in Nome, Alaska, last Wednesday and was reported missing Friday. Court delays double execution STARKE, Fla. - A federal appeals court yesterday granted a temporary, stay of execution to murderer James Henry, who said "guilt or innocence" i not an issue. The court also considered the appeal of child-killer Aubrey Adams, scheduled to die today. It would have been the first double execution in 19 years. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta gave Henry a 24-hour reprieve until 7 a.m. tomorrow and said it would hear legal arguments at noon today. Yesterday, Gov. Bob Graham refused the Rev. Jesse,Jackson's request of, clemency for Henry. Coretta Scott King, in a letter to the governor, also sought clemency on grounds that Henry's conviction was racially motivated. "The message that there would be no clemency was very clear," said Steve Hull, press secretary for Graham, who has signed 86 death warrants since taking office in 1979. In double executions, state corrections officials bring the first inmate into the death chamber, execute him and store the body in a small room nearby, said spokesman Vernon Bradford. The second inmate then in brought into the chamber, executed, and the bodies are sent to Gainsville for autopsies. The same executioner is used for both electrocutions and paid a total of $300, Bradford said. Dollar skyrockets in Europe LONDON - The dollar soared to unprecendented heights on European currency markets yesterday, leaving dealers mystified as it set new records against the British, French, Italian, and Belgian currencies. Currency traders across Europe could not explain the dollar's upward spiral. Karl Otto Poehl, president of the West German central bank, warned that European banks were virtually powerless to halt the rise of the U.S. currency. "The U.S. dollar is currently grossly overvalued, some would say by about a third, and some substantial correction of its value cannot be long delayed beyond the presidential election in November," warned Dr. David Owen, leader of Britain's Social Democratic Party. High American interest rates between 1 and 8 percentage points above European rates - provide the basis for the dollar's strength, but analysts said its current performance defies rational explanation. Gromyko arrives in New York NEW YORK - Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko arrived in New York yesterday under heavy security for a visit that will include meetings with President Reagan and Walter Mondale and an address to the U.N. General Assembly. Gromyko was to meet Sept. 27 in New York with Mondale, the Democratic candidate for president, and Secretary of State George Shultz before traveling to Washington the next day for talks with Reagan. Mondale pledged to be "tough" in his talks with Gromyko and vowed not to attempt to conduct foreign policy on behalf of the president. His return to New York was marked by effort from both Washington and Moscow to revive U.S.-Soviet relationships, which dropped to a low since the Soviets walked out of the intermediate nuclear weapons talks in Geneva last year. Reagan said last Tuesday he invited the Soviet official to the White House to ease "suspicion and hostility" and secure a "safer world" by trying to control nuclear weapons proliferation. bhe Mcign ailp Vol. XCV - No.12 The Michigan Daily (ISSS(N 0745-967X) is published through Sunday during the fall and winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the spring and summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
