41 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Saturday, October 6, 1984 NATO strengthens nuaclear missile sites WASHINGTON (Ap) - The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in- stalling improved protection around missile bases and other nuclear sites to thwart possible terrorist attacks in Western Europe, a senior defense of- ficial said yesterday. "Devices are being installed that are responsive to what we think we have learned about how the sites might be at- tacked by terrorist groups," the official told reporters at a briefing in which he outlined matters to be discussed next week by alliance defense ministers at a meeting in Italy. AMONG OTHER important matters on the agenda, he said, will be a discussion of "improving security of nuclear weapons in Europe against terroristand other threats." The official indicated that the "other threats" are those that could be expec- ted to be mounted by Soviet special for- ces whose mission in the early days of a NATO-Warsaw Pact war would be to knock out and overrun Pershing 2 and ground-launched missile.bases, nuclear' weapons depots and air bases where, nuclear weapons are stored. This official, who spoke under ground rules protecting his anonymity, said the Soviets are devoting the highest priority to training forces to knock out the intermediate-range Pershing 2s, which are gradually being deployed in Western Europe in positions to strike into the Soviet Union. AS FOR terrorist threats to nuclear bases, the official said work already has progressed in installing4 variety of sensors, including devices that would delay terrorists in reaching nuclear bunkers thus allowing time for security reinforcements to arrive. Such devices would be activated by guards, some of whom would be positioned in towers around the nuclear sites. In the event of an open war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the of- ficial said nuclear weapons probably would be dispersed quickly from existing sites to make it more difficult for the Soviet special units, called Spet- snaz, to reach them before the weapons can be used against assaulting Soviet tank forces. THE THREAT of terrorism has been moved higher on the list of concerns in the alliance in recent years and the of- ficial said "we are year by year better equipped" to deal with the threat. Other items on the schedule for the Oct. 10-12 NATO Nuclear Planning Group meeting in Stresa, Italy, include a U.S. briefing on the worldwide status of nuclear forces, and reports on the U.S. sea-launched cruise missile program and the status of the Pershing 2 and ground-launched cruise missile deployments, which began over strong Soviet objections las't December, the of- ficial said. After leaving Italy on Oct. 12, Defen- se Secretary Caspar Weinberger will visit Tunisia, Egypt and Israel before returning to the United States on Oct. 17.

Facelift improves Tappan Hall safety By GREGORY HUTTON- After 91 years, Tappan Hall on South University Ave. is finally getting a much needed facelift that includes a $2.4 million addition. Work on Tappan Hall, which began last winter should be completed by early next year, said Joel Isaccson, chairman of the University's Art History Department. THE UNIVERSITY started plans for the new building in1980 when it realized the old facility could not safely house the art history collections because of the fire risk of the building, Isaacson said. "The major catalyst in its construc- tion was the Economics Building fire in 1981," he said. "The old Tappan Hall is a fire trap and because of the great loss in the Econ Building fire, plans were speeded up for the Tappan Hall ad- dition." Much of the money for the addition and the renovation was donated by private sources, but $900,000 came from LSA budget. THE BUILDING will house a new fine arts library and the art history department's collection of slides and photographs. With the addition, new space will be created in old Tappan Hall for new classrooms and faculty offices. "I'm particularly pleased with the new building because it gives us the capacity to operate year-round," said Isaacson. "We no longer have to swelter during the summer months because the building is now air- conditioned." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Money bills deadlock holds Congress past adjournment date WASHINGTON - Legislators failed to meet their goal of adjourning for the year yesterday as they struggled to clear the last two obstacles to ending the 98th Congress - Major bills to keep most of the government in business and allow the Treasury to borrow another $250 billion. Negotiators from the House and Senate argued over an omnibus money bill, the so-called continuing resolution necessary to provide most gover- nment departments and agencies with money for the fiscal year that began on Monday. Meanwhile, Congress moved to pass a stopgap bill that would temporarily provide money to government agencies through midnight Tuesday. That would avert disruptions of government operations such as those that oc- curred Thursday when some 500,000 workers were sent home at midday. Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committe, prodded the negotiators to finish work, saying Congress might still be arguing over the emergency money bill until late October. He added, "In all likelihood, if we're here until that period of October, we can look for- ward to a post-election lame duck session." E. Germans seek political asylum BONN, West Germany - At least 80 East Germans seeking political asylum are hold up in the closed West German Embassy in Czechoslovakia amid tough negotiations with Communist authorities over their future, government officials said yesterday. Diplomatic sources in Prague, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there were about 100 refugees inside the embassy, many of them suffering from colds. More than 20 of the refugees are children, the West German government said. Government spokesman Peter Boenisch told a news conference in Bonn that the East Germans trying to get to West Germany entered the 18th cen- tury embassy building over the last 10 days. The East German government built the Berlin Wall in 1961 to block massive emigration of East Germans to the West. And although about 1,000 East Germans have been allowed to leave each month recently, East Ger- many discourages emigration. Boenisch said a lasting solution to the problem can only come through a niove by East Germany to liberalize itsregulations governing travel and emigration. Boenisch did not say whether any break through was expected in what he indicated were tough negotiatigns between the Bonn government and Com- munist officials in East Berlin. He did not elaborate en the talks. Riots kill 10 in Bangladesh DHAKA, Bangladesh - Riots in Bihari relief camps left at least 10 people dead, injured, and thousands homeless, witnesses said yesterday. Police, however, said there were 11 people injured and none killed. Police and witnesses agreed the violence broke out Thursday after about 30 Biharis - Urdu-speaking Moslems who seek Pakistani citizenship - Staged a religious procession in the Mirpur section on the outskirts of Dhaka. When reports circulated that a young boy from the majority Bengali- speaking Moslem community had been injured in a scuffle with the mar- chers, hundreds of Bengalis armed with sticks and knives and attacked the procession, witnesses said. The Bihari marchers were armed with swords and chains that are part of their traditional .dress for the holiday marking the death of the prophet Mohammed's grandson. Bengalis burned thousands of bamboo huts later Thursday night in a poverty-stricken refugee camp where about 55,000 Biharis live. In all, there are about 250,000 Biharis living in relief camps in Bangladesh. Originally from the Indian state of Bihar, they were stranded in Bangladesh after Bangladesh attained independence from Pakistan in a 1971 war. The terrorists that now make up Pakistan and India were part of British India before gaining independence. Diet, sleep crucial to youth BOSTON - Eating and sleeping properly may help younger people live longer, but by the time someone reaches 65, it's too late to live right, a study concludes. The research contradicts a widely held view that old people can increase their chances of living longer if they stick to good habits. "Once you've survived to 65, healthful practices, at least in our data, did not suggest a longer lifespan," said Dr. Laurence Branch of Harvard Medical School. Results of his study in 1,235 Massachusetts residents appear in the October edition of the American Journal of Public Health. Earlier studies showed that healthy living habits are associated with in- creased life expectancy for young and middle aged people. Experts assumed the same would be true for people in their 60s and 70s. DeLorean's wife files for divorce LOS ANGELES (AP) - Cristina Ferarre De Lorean, who stood by her automaker husband, John De Lorean, through a five-month cocaine con-' spiracy trial, filed for divorce yesterday, less than two months after his acquittal. In her divorce petition, filed by attorney Jerome Goldberg, the model and TV hostess sought to dissolve the couple's 11-yearmarriage on grounds of irreconcilable differences. Mrs. De Lorean sought a share of community property accumulated by the couple before Sept. 13, the date of their separation. She also sought restoration of her maiden name of Ferrare, which she now uses on her daily TV show, "AM Los Angeles."

I I The college experience, Birn bach style (Continued from Page 1) BIRNBACH also points out the more materialistic attitudes students have today. "Seniors go suit shopping together in readiness for job interviews ... 'Bourgeois' is just another word onea French dictee," she writes. A 1978 graduate of Brown, Birnbach was a student during the height of ac- tivism. "I sort of salivate thinking about what a fantastic demonstration and anti-Solomon Amendment rally we would have had," she sadi. Birnbach added, however, that the book is more critical of the political situation in America than of the cam- pus atmosphere. "I'M PUTTING down today more than I'm putting down college students of today," she said. "I think the book is in a way a celebration of college studen- ts." Because of the economy, most students have to hold down at least part time jobs to help finance their educations, Birnbach said, which adds to the conservative attitude on campus. "I really am glad I'm not in school right now because I wouldn't want to work part time and go to school," Bir- nbach said. "Also, how do you justify sleeping in when classes cost that much? I think there's a real sense of guilt." ON THE other hand, Birnbach said she thinks it is good that students are more directed about what they want to do, and she likes the "return to ritual and loyalty." There was a time, she said, when people didn't go to campus athletic events, but things are different now. "It is no longer uncool to be 'rah rah' and cheer at games. Athletic events allow students to drink, to scream, and, if their team scores, to hug and kiss," she writes. BIRNBACH admited that she has never attended a football game in Michigan Stadium, though in her book she lists the University's sports as "Football, football, football, especially. on Saturdays." Football, of course, also shows up in the University's profile. Birnbach quoted Assistant Athletic Director Will Perry saying, "Threatening budget cuts within the state have exacerbated a long-running conflict between the football coach of this Big Ten team and the admissions office. . . . Certainly some athletes need remedial work, and we see that they get it . . . Everyone complains about us, except during foot- ball season." , Birnbach lists the second floor of the UGLi as the best place for social study; pot, caffeine, and speed as the favorite drugs; and political science as the most popular major. (All of those facts, she said, were taken from an afternoon of student interviews and about 10 questionnaires). "STUDENTS are so pleased with Michigan, they feel the system must be exploited to the fullest. Its worth it," she writes. Of Harvard, Birnbach writes,"Everybody knows about Har- vard. You almost definitely know someone personally who attended Har- vard . . . Harvard can get anyone to speak at its commencement. People who hate America will travel to Har- vard to deliver an address." The most popular major is economics, and the infirmary is "Okay. Takes active role in birth control," ac-. cording to Birnbach's book. BIRNBACH writes that Michigan State University's citizens "claim they don't feel like the stepchildren to students at Ann Arbor, yet a popular T- shirt proclaims: 'Michigan State: THE Universityof Michigan.' " MSU's biggest sports event is the Michigan football game, and their most popular majors are business and education. Cultural life, Birnbach quotes, "As they say, agriculture is the only culture at MSU . . . but it's im- proving.' " After visiting schools across the nation, Birnbach siad if she had to go back to again she would probably take her four years of college at four dif- ferent schools just to have a variety and see more of the country. "Of course," she added, "I'd go to graduate school at the University of Michigan." (JfliurtiU rIIX~iP ErUiCEeEconomic indicators CAMPUS CHAPEL 1236 Washtenaw Ct.

In terms of people's stan- dard of living, he said, it would take three fast-food industry jobs "to make up for the loss of one job" in heavy manufacturing. "The overall employment figures, which had shown a moderation in the pace of the labor market improvement in recent months, were little changed in September, but job declines occurred in several key manufacturing industries," Janet Norwood, commissioner of labor statistics, told the congressional Joint Economic Committee. 0 IN HER Capitol Hill appearance, Ms. Norwood told the committee that only 40 percent of the 185 industries sur- veyed increased employment in Sep- tember. "This is the lowest percentage since the trough of the 1981-82 recession nearly two years ago," she said. The total number of Americans with jobs rose by 270,000, to 105.2 million last ..--" .-' a _ L __ _ - - , - accommodated entry into the labor for- ce of about 200,000 job-seekers, thus preventing the unemployment rate from rising. And the BLS report showed that the pool of so-called "Discouraged workers" - people not counted as unemployed because they've given up looking for jobs - shrank by 100,000 in the period from June-September, to 1.2 million.
