XCV, No. 38 Copyright 1984, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, October 19, 1984 Fifteen Cents Ten Pages Regents condemn ban By LAURIE DELATER Two University professors in favor of banning nuclear weapons research, development, production. and testing in Ann Arbor found themselves at odds with two colleagues and members of the Boards of Regents yesterday. Physics Prof. Daniel Axelrod and Medical School Prof. David Bassett took part in a heated discussion on the controversial Nuclear Free Zone proposal on the city's Nov. 6 ballot during the regents' meeting yesterday. FOUR OF the six regents present at the meeting spoke out against the ballot question. Regent James Waters (D-Muskegon) said afterward that he also opposed the ban. The regents did not take an official position on the proposal yesterday, but they privately have discussed adopting a resolution on the issue and may Dems. or By SEAN JACKSON next week, tl For Democrats, it's as if Santa Claus that would n is coming to town.

Tuesday aft WHEN VOLUNTEERS at the local which orgai Mondale/Ferraro office learned that pressive sho Democratic Presidential candidate former vice Walter Mondale would be on campus As word sl do so at their meeting this morning, according to Waters. The proposal would prohibit University scientists and private research firms in the city from working on nuclear weapons as well as delivery and com- mand, control, and communications systems for such weapons. A commission would be established to review all contracts made between local researchers and the U.S. Departments of Defense and Energy. IF PASSED, the proposal would become an amen- dment to the city charter. And Ann Arbor would be the first city in the nation where military research is actually conducted to enact such a ban. The controversial issue has sharply divided faculty members and so yesterday two supporters of the ban, together with two opponents, took their case to the University's top governing body. Axelrod and Bassett argued that the University has a moral obligation to fight the buildup of nuclear weapons. Supporting a ban on weapons research and development in the city, they said, would be a step toward worldwide nuclear arms reduction. "WE HAVE A much greater likelihood of per- suading others to stop if we ourselves show a willingness to stop, at least for a while, so as to see what type of reciprocal action that elicits," Bassett told the regents. Opponents of the ban say it will infringe upon the acadmic freedom of students and faculty by limiting the types of.research they can conduct. But Bassett countered: "Academic freedom carries with it academic responsibility." See REGENTS, Page 2 ganiz hey set in motion a machine nake Santa's elves jealous.

University Street. The fire in a trash dumpster was quickly extinguished. Officials said last night the fire was probably started through carelessness and said there would not be any fur- ther investigation into the cause. Wednesday morning, campaign organizers began planning a massive blitz designed to draw a large crowd to the rally. "WE'RE LEAFLETTING around campus," Peyton said. "Today we gave away 20,000." In addition to the leaflets, "we're going to plaster the campus with posters," he said. The group will try to make the campaign enjoyable with a happy hour today and a poster making party Sunday which will be followed by a debate-watching party. As local campaigners sprang to life to organize the rally, Mondale's advance team moved into town to guide them. The team of campaign professionals is responsible for lining up support from local groups such as unions, teachers, senior citizens, and women's organizations.

And when those students go to the polls on Nov. 6, they will be asking the same two questions the candidates have asked: Are you Election '54 better off now than you were four years ago? Will you be better off four years from now? "OF COURSE there are a lot of things to con- sider," says Thomas Butts, the University's liason to Capitol Hill, "but a large part of what happens will depend on who wins the election." Observers say the difference between the two candidates' positions on financial aid is who pays for college: society or the student. Democrat Walter Mondale seems to favor the former. "Fritz Mondale has said that he'll increase educational funing by $11 billion, and within that, increase funding for financial aid by $1.5 billion," says John Vollmer, assistant national student coordinator for the Mondale/Ferraro campaign. WHILE HE points out that Mondale hasn't said what programs will get what, Vollmer says that increases will first "return programs to where they should be, then increase funding for each program proportionally." President Reagan also has not yet released his position on financial aid. "But," says Bill Kruger, director of public affairs for the American Council on Education, "it's safe to say that he'll pursue pretty much the same goals he's pursued for the last four years." President Reagan proposals suggest a change in the philosphy behind student aid. In proposing his budget to Congress last year, Reagan called for "some new initiatives to strengthen American education." This in- cluded "reorientating student aid programs to insure that students and families meet their responsibilities for financing higher education." "THE PRESIDENT just wants to restore government and families back to their traditional roles in meeting college costs," Secretary of Education Terence Bell said at the time. This year, Reagan has proposed to reshape Pell grants into a new Pell Self-Help Program." The program would be run with the same funding next year as this year, but students would now be expected to contribute a minimum of $500 or 40% of their total college costs before being eligible for grants. REAGAN HAS -also proposed to cut Sup- plemental Educational Grants, National Direct Student Loans, and State Student Incentive Grants. To pick up the slack, from these losses, Reagan proposes to increase College Work Study by $555 million, increasing the number of awards by 235,000 and raising maximum gran- ts to $800. University Assistant Director of Financial Aid Lynn Borset says this would reduce the University flexibility in administering grants. "PELL LETS us make adjustments in aid if there's a death in the family, or if the family loses a source of income," says Borset. "But that's it. SEOG and the other programs Reagan wants to eliminate gave us the flexibility in case something else happens. We do a couple of hundred of these adjustments every year." Judging from history, Kruger predicts that "Reagan will propose cuts like he has every year in office." "What happened," explains Kruger, "is that in his first year Reagan asked for cuts of 50% in financial aid spending. Congress didn't go along fully with this, but financial aid growth See MONDALE, Page 6 Students get rich quick selling sperm and plasma By BRUCE JACKSON Most students work in dorm cafeterias, State Street shops and city restaurants to earn spending money. ut some students are more creative in finding jobs. They 11 plasma and sperm. And they say it's a simple way to earn cash. "IT'S AN easy way to make money," said Eric Weber, an Eastern Michigan University student who donated plasma at the Ypsilanti Plasma Center. "It's relatively painless," he said.. It's difficult to tell how many students donate plasma, but the going rate for plasma is $8 for .860 liters. The procedure is relatively simple. One intravenous tube is inserted into each arm. Trained attendants separate the plasma from red blood cells. The second tube is used to turn the red blood cells. "We try to put everything up front - problems that might happen etcetera," said Steve Hartley, the center's manager. The consent forms donors are required to sign spell out the risks that range from a needle bruise to transfusion reaction. Because the body regenerates 98 percent of its plasma in 48 hours, donors can give twice in a seven day period. But don't panic if you're afraid of needles. The Human Per- formance Center's subject pool gives students the oppor- tunity to make money by participating in research without needles. The pool which has been around for about 10 years consists of 400 people this term. It provides experimenters with a list of students - mostly undergraduates - willing to participate in research. "Some of them are paper and pencil experiments, said John Jonides, the pool's director. Most involve research con- cerning perception and cognition. Sessions usually last a half hour to an hour and students usually pocket $3 or $4 an hour. Some projects call for a series of experiments and students who participate in long-term experiments make more money. Another opportunity is open only to about one-half the students. The Imuno-fertility and Andrology Lab at the University Hospitals offers students the possibility of making money by selling sperm. The sperm is used for immunologic testing and reproduc- tive biology. However, the lab is selective about what types of sperm it takes. The lab checks the sample's composition, and criteria like sperm count, color and volume are studied. "The average person screened cannot be used," said a lab employee.

But apes they were, as Detwiler learned when the driver gave him a peek at the chimps inside the eight-wheeler. "They were gigantic," the officer said. "The guy said they went up to 185 pounds." But the apes were not happy. They were going bananas. "They were screaming. They were pounding on the sides. The truck was shaking," Detwiler said. "They were aggravated."
