'1 Faculty examines nuclear free proposal The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 16, 1984 - Page 3 Duarte, rebels discuss peace in El Salvador . By THOMAS MILLER University faculty members showed yesterday at the October Senate Assembly meeting that they hold a variety of views on the Nuclear Free Ann Arbor ballot proposal. The proposal, which could affect a number of University research projects if passed, would prohibit the design, research, and development of nuclear weapons and related devices within the Ann Arbor city limits. '!HE controversial measure which would establis an amendment to the Ann A-bor city charter has spurred debate among community and business le4ders as well as University officials. Teassembly invited two faculty memberto present the different sides of the issue. Speaking for the nuclear free zone was physics Prof. Marc Ross. Ross said the problem of nuclear war is too serious to ignore and the free zone or- diuiance is an important step towards defusing the arms race. 'aThe problem of controlling nuclear arms does provide a rationale for this oidinance," Ross said. MWE'RE NOT going to, resolve this problem through presidential negotiation." included in the proposal is a provision fo a committee to investigate all possible violations of the act. Physics Prof. Gordon Kane, who presented his case against the proposal to the assem- bly, said such a committee would scare away business from Ann Arbor. "Why would any business want to stay in an area where such harassment is possible?" Kane said. Kane pointed out that although he is against the November ballot issue, he does support arms control. THE PROBLEM, he said, is with the composition of the proposal which could pose a number of ambiguities. "Some military research is more beneficial than harmful," Kane said. He pointed to satellite research, which he says is more for defensive purposes, as a potential area which the proposal. could mistakenly restrict. "A well meaning but uninformed per- son could interpret this the wrong way," Kane said. Aeronautical engineering Prof. Robert Howe echoed Kane's comments. "The basic research used to improve the aerodynamics-of the B-1 bomber is the same research that improves the aerodynamics of a boeing 767," Howe said. "This could literally prevent us from doing much of the research we do." The assembly did not vote the issue or, take a political stand. Medical school Prof. Robert Green said the assembly decided to look at the proposal because it could affect the lives of many faculty members. LA PALMA, El Salvador (UPI) - Defying death threats and cheered by peasants shouting "We want Peace," President Jose Napoleon Duarte met in a mountain church yesterday with six guerrilla leaders in a dramatic quest to end five years of civil war. Duarte called on the rebels to lay down their arms in return for amnesty and promised them a place in El Salvador's Democratic process during the meeting in La Palma, 43 miles north of San Salvador in rebel-controlled Chalatenango province. "THE EL Salvador that you abant- doned in 1978 and 1979 is not the same as in 1984. Our homeland now breathes the air of liberty," Duarte told the rebels in an opening statement read to 20,000 people who packed the town plaza. Guarded only by unarmed Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Duarte led a five-man delegation into the tiny Sweet Name of Mary Catholic church for his first face- to-face encounter with his leftist foes. The meeting with the six rebel leaders, including a woman, came on the fifth anniversary of a coup by liberal junior officers, who on Oct. 15, 1979 ousted Gen. Carlos Humberto Romero frm the presidency. The date is considered the beginning of the civil war that has claimed 50,000 lives. "I think just by sitting down it is the first stage, taking away from the mind that dialogue is bad," Duarte said: In his seven-page opening statement to the rebels, Duarte called for an end to the war, support for the "Democratic process based on the principles of the constitution" and the incorporation of the guerrillas into the democratic process.

"I'm very excited about what the students at the University of Michigan are doing. The best way for IMPAC to make a difference is to work in a House or Senate race. Students have made the decision th the Illinois race is impor- tant. I think it will make a difference" Kessler said. Senior Susan Wein agrees. Wein at- tended last Sunday's meeting.
