I Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 20, 1984 Student leaders fight 'U' code (Continued from Page 1) IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports BUT PERHAPS the most formidable task facing students opposed to the code is preserving the little direct control over the code which they possess. So far, the key to effective student opposition has rested or Regents' Bylaw 7.02, which states that MSA and the faculty must approve any conduct rules for students. University adminstrators and several regents, however, have already said they may suspend or abolish the bylaws in order to pass the code without MSA's approval. Caught in what he calls a classic "catch-22," Page, more than any of the other leaders, has been forced to walk a thin line between opposing the code and not appearing inflexible. Working with the administration to remove some of the parts which these students oppose would tacitly be admit- ting that "we're not going to win the fundamental point that there shouldn't be a code" at all, said Page. On the other hand, a hard-line stance against any code whatsoever would en- courage the administration to cut direct student involvement out of the process, he said. the only way students can reject the code is through large protests and ac- tive students. "If the students stand up and say, 'We don't want this,' they will win. That's all there is to it," said Page. Tomorrow: What role will the Ad All the leaders agree, however, that faculty play? Nobel Prize winners warn of WASHINGTON (AP) - Nineteen Nobel Prize win- ners and the leaders of about 100 of the country's en- vironmental and arms control organizations joined yesterday in a warning that mankind faces extinction either through a nuclear or an environmental catastrophe "unless humanity changes its ways." At the start of a five-day conference on "The Fate of the Earth," they made public a policy statement declaring that an exploding global population and the nuclear arms race are both threats to the future. "WHAT NUCLEAR war could do in 50 to 150 minutes an exploding population assaulting the Ear- th's life-support systems could do in 50 to 150 years," says the statement, signed by winners of Nobels in physics, medicine, chemistry and economics and 175 leaders of environmental and peace groups. Shaped at meetings in Washington, San Francisco and New York and in round-robin exchanges through the mails over the last two months, the statement lays out a common course of action to influence national policy. Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich, an ex- pert on populaton, called the conference "the most important meeting that's ever been held on Earth." He told reporters the session would not endorse a candidate in the plresidential race but that he per- sonally would back any opponent to President Reagan. He termed Reagan blind to the threats of a nuclear end to the world or a population explosion that will exhaust the globe's resources. "I make no bones about it," Ehrlich said. "I am a Earth s fate registered Republican but I cannot imagine a Democratic candidate I would not prefer over Ronald Reagan simply because Reagan pushes the wrong way on virtually every issue I'm interested in and seens to be totally disconnected from what's going on in the world. Ronald Reagan's policies toward the environment could shove us down the drain sometime in the next 50 to 150 years." _ POLICE NOTES 763-1107 0( Registration Begins Monday Sept. 17 Michigan Union Ticket Office Pool WEDNESDAYS 7-8:30 pm1 10/10 to 11/7t $10/person Speed Reading WEDNESDAYS 7-9 p.m. 10/3 to 10/17 $50/person Basic Mime onversation MONDAYS 7-8:30 p.m. Skills for10/8 to / European Travel $0/ person TUESDAYS 7-9 p.m. $10/ Q10/9'to 11/13 $10/person Ballroom Dancing Magical MONDAYS 7-10 p.m.Entertainment 10/22 to 719 p THURSDAYS 7-9 p.m. $25/couple 9/27 to 10/18 $10/person Bike Repair CP.R.

The 38-year-old Detroit man was arraigned yesterday in the 15th district court. The suspect who allegedly carried a sawed off shotgun during the robbery was unarmed at the time of his arrest and none of the stolen money was. recovered. Last Wednesday Ann Arbor police made their first arrest in the incident when they found Sunny Wilson outside his Ann Arbor home. An undetermined amount of cash taken in the robbery, was recovered with Wilson's arrest. Most of the money that allegedly had been stolen could not be spent because it was covered with red dye. The package of dye had been hidden in one of the bags of cash and exploded as two men were fleeing the Great Lakes Federal Savings bank, September 7. A passer-by who saw the get-away car was able to provide police with a partial description of the suspects and part of the license plate number. This information led to the arrests of the two suspects. -Rachel Gottlieb U.S.-Vatican ties challenged WASHINGTON-The United States' formal diplomatic ties with the Vatican were challenged in federal court yesterday by religious leaders who said the move tramples on constitutional guarantees of separation of church and state. "The glamour of a popular president and a popular pope have blinded many in our land to the bad public policy generated" by the new diplomatic relationship, said Robert Maddox, a Baptist minister and head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The organization and a coalition of religious groups filed suit in U.S. ' District Court in Philadelphia, selected for its symbolism as the birthplace of the American Revolution. The religious leaders-including some who support President Reagan for re-election-said their chances of winning are excellent. They said they in- tended to convince the courts that the issue is not foreign policy but domestic: spending taxpayer dollars to promote one religion over all others. "We believe this formal relationship between the state and one church is absolutely improper in a nation where the principle of church-state separation has long been enshrined in constitutional law and in the hearts:of the American people," said Maddox. G.M.-U.A.W. talks stagnate DETROIT-Talks between the United Auto Workers and General Motors Corp. appeared at an impasse yesterday as nearly 30,000 workers at four more major plants walked off the job, bringing to nearly 100,000 the number of union members on strike against the giant automaker. In a statement late in the afternoon, the union said "virtually no progress was made" in the day's bargaining. UAW president Owen Bieber met with top union officers to update them on the talks. A union spokesman said that to his knowledge, there had been no meetings between the UAW and GM officials. "Some meetings were held on minor issues," spokesman David Mitchell said. It was the first time either side has admitted that the negotiations have appeared to reach a standstill. There has been no comment from the com- pany since Sept. 10. Gain in personal income slows WASHINGTON-Americans' personal income in August posted the smallest gain in three months while new housing construction plunged 12.8 percent, the government said yesterday, as the economy gave further signs of a rapid slowdown. The new reports sent many economists scurrying to revise their predic- tions for economic growth for the rest of 1984, but the Reagan administration said it was sticking by earlier forecasts. The Commerce Department said Americans' personal income rose .5 per- cent in August, the smallest gain since May. The report showed that Americans were also not, as eager to spend their earnings. Personal consumption spending rose by only .1 percent, matching. the meager increase of July. Early in the year, spending grew as much as 1.8 percent in a single month: The government said construction of new homes in August plummeted to an annual rate of 1.54 million units, the lowest level since December 1982w when the country was beginning to pull out of the long recession. Soviets release American sailors WASHINGTON - Sailors of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Sherman arrived at a rendezvous point in the Bering Strait yesterday and boarded the 120-foot supply ship, the Freida K, the State Department reported. "The Coast Guard is now on the Frieda K," the State Department press -of- ficer said. There was no immediate word on the five American seamen whoe crewed the supply ship and who have been in Soviet custody since the vessel apparently wandered into the Soviet waters near the Diomede Islands in the strait and asked a Soviet naval vessel for directions. Sonda McCarty, a State Department spokeswoman, said the Coast Guard's mission to pick up the five Americans was "going according to plan." State Department officials monitored radio and telephone com- munications with Coast Guard officers aboard the Sherman, who reported the sea in the area was calm and winds at 10 knots. The five seamen had been held in a hotel at Urelik, a remote port in eastern Siberia. The exchange agreed to by Soviet officials is to take' place midway bet- ween that port and the American port of Gambel on Alaska's St. Lawrence Island.

"I think the future of the steel industry remains in jeopardy," Williams told a news conference. "I am deeply disappointed in the president's failure to grant prompt import relief to the domestic steel industry." Reagan Tuesday refused to grant import protection sought by American steel makers but promised to seek voluntary agreements with exporting natons to prevent "surges" of steel into the United States. He rejected a proposal backed by the steelworkers union that would have limited steel im- ports to 15 percent of the U.S. market. Williams said the United States, unlike other major world powers, seems willing "to let the most basic industry of an industrial nation slip into oblivion."
