Experts discuss Soviet instability By LAURIE DELATER A closed meeting yesterday between student leaders and top University of- ficials failed to resolve any of the con- flicts dividing the two groups over the proposed student code for nonacademic conduct, according to Scott Page, president of the Michigan Student Assembly. MSA leaders remained steadfast in their conviction that they will not negotiate on the proposed guidelines unless administrators agree not to revoke MSA's veto power over the code. MSA also asked that it be allowed to approve the code and its judicial system as one document. BUT administrators, while not giving in to any of those conditions, planned to present a formal proposal for negotiations at next Tuesday's MSA meeting. "They couldn't accept our restric- tions and we said we would not enter negotiations without them," Page said. President Harold Shapiro last night said administrators have not discussed what they will say Tuesday and that he has not decided how he would like to handle the process. BUT HE added that there is no way- the University administration can guarantee that the Board of Regents will not bypass MSA. "And I personally don't want to go in- to negotiations and close down any op- tions for actions," he said, reiterating his statements in a response to MSA's conditions. But the meeting "kept alive" the possibility that negotiations can begin, Page said. MSA would like to analyze the need for a code as well as assess faculty, student, and administration in- terests in the guidelines, Page said. THE LAST two student assemblies have refused to discuss the code. Next Tuesday's proposal will be the ad- ministration's first formal offer to negotiate with this year's MSA.

Speaking before an audience of about 200 people at Rackham Auditorium, Paul Globe told the audience not to underestimate the power of the Soviet Union. "THE SOVIET Union is never as strong or as weak as it' appears, he said. "We must be careful not to project onto the Soviet Union the way they would react according to the way we would react," he added. Goble and other experts on the Soviet Union participated in the Michigan Briefing on Soviet Affairs, a forum which examined topics ranging from the current political climate to U.S.-Soviet trade. And throughout the conference, experts maintained that the Soviet Union's political climate, controlled by elderly leaders, is one of uncertainty and fearfulness. ACCORDING TO Goble, these leaders "are unlikely to put young men in power because they would be announcing their political deaths."

By KERY MURAKAMI In a scene reminiscent of the 1960s, police officers dressed in riot gear and carrying canisters of tear gas charged into a crowd of about 1000 protesters - mostly Illinois State University Studen- ts - yesterday morning in Normal, Ill. Three protesters were arrested. Five were hospitalized, but their in- juries were not. serious and city of-- ficials estimated that $10,000 in damages was done to public property in the city of Normal. THE DEMONSTRATION began peacefully around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday evening when about 100 students mar- ched to city hall to protest city ordinan- ces restricting public gatherings and the sale of beer. Normal's City Council passed an or- dinance in June requiring a permit for any gathering of over 300 people where beer is served. The ordinance also called for one security guard for every 100 students. THE COUNCIL also passed another ordinance which barred the transpor- tation and sale of beer kegs after 10 p.m. "There was nothing violent at this point, said Tony Parker, an IS'U student. "People were chanting things like 'fuck (Normal police chief John) Lehr. We want beer.' But everyone was pretty much behaving themselves," he said. And by about 9 p.m., the crowd dispersed and the protest appeared to be over. BUT ACCORDING to Parker, a group of students bought a keg of beer and staged a sit in which blocked traffic on Interstate 51. Other students were then lured to the protest. The excitement of the protest was fueled by a live broadcast by a Peoria television station. "Shortly after they went off the air, about a dozen students began throwing beer bottles at the police and at City Hall," Parker said. campus THIRTY STATE police officers were then called lh to reinforce the 50 local officers already cn the scene. After an appeal by university president Lloyd Watkins to end the protest, police began driving the students back to campus with billy clubs. Police fired tear gas cannisters from on top of City Hall as students chanted ."Kent State, Kent State" and pelted the police with rocks. Most of the protesters left, said state police officer John Manning, "although some stayed behind and threw the can- nisters back at the police," he said. Later, at about 2 a.m. 50 students staged a sit-in which blocked traffic in front of Normal Theater.. They were driven back by police. Yesterday morning's demonstration was the result of tensions which have grown throughout this school year. "About 20 students were arrested every weekend for carrying cups of beer in public," said Parker. "The police were really cracking down on the law."

"Just give me the ammunition, and I'll go down to the governor's office and find out" why Roy's not on the maps, she told City Council. "Somewhere, somehow, we've got to get to someone and tell them that Roy exists and has since 1873," said Russell. said. "This guy is a con artist, the best I've ever seen. He was very convincing." Authorities said the furlough was granted after a man claiming to be Thomas' father made several calls to the jail to say his daughter had been injured in an auto accident. The man left daily messages about her condition and asked jail officials to tell Thomas his sister had died. Quinn said Thomas broke down when he was given the news. On Sept. 18, when Thomas failed to return, jail officials learned that Thomas' sisters were all fine and his father had not talked to his son since he was imprisoned last June.
