4 Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Saturday, October 20, 1984 0 Shapiros open doors to students By ALLISON ZOUSMER Some were curious. They wanted to catch a glimpse of the University's top man. Others just wanted to sample some of the refreshments. Whatever the motives, 700 students turned out to take up yesterday's open house in- vitation from University President Harold Shapiro and Vivian Shapiro. Students got a chance to tour the white house on S. University and to meet the Shapiros face to face. FOR SOME, the open house is an an- nual affair. "We come every year . it's good food and it's neat to see the way the house has changed," said Joan Roggenbuck, an LSA senior who atten- ded yesterday's open house with a friend. But for the majority of the students, yesterday was the first time they'd visited the house or seen the Shapiros. "Most come out of curiosity," said Steve Kamden, a member of the University Activities Center - the group which sponsors the annual event. "I made a conscious effort to come, but I don't exactly know why," said David Zeiler, an LSA sophomore. Some students stopped by because they wanted to meet Shapiro. Laura Lynch, an art school junior, said she at- tended the open house because she "wanted to say hello and tell him how much I've enjoyed my classes." NO MATTER WHAT their motives for coming, most students said they en- joyed the visit and meeting Shapiro. "He greeted everyone and asked everyone different questions," said Jennifer Marwil, and LSA sophomore. Some said they were impressed with the house itself. "I think it's gorgeous," said Elyse Feldman, a second year medical school student. 11 Pickin' pumpkins Second-graders from Doylestown, Pa., look for the Great Pumpkin. Apathy hits Central America day But students weren't the only ones who enjoyed yesterday's open house. Vivian Shapiro said she also enjoyed the open house. "It's fun. We don't have a lot of time to see the students," she said, ad- ding that she regrets not being able to have students over more often. President Shapiro said he enjoys the event because he can "meet the studen- ts who don't often get a chance to see me or the house." Last year, the Shapiro's open house was held in the basement of the Michigan Union in celebration of the ground floor's opening. CAMP'S pot raids are ruled illegal g SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - State of- ficials vowed yesterday to continue their war on marijuana growers, despite a federal judge's ruling that their searches and seizures on private land without warrants were uncon- stitutional. Opponents of the pot raids, which of- ficials say have netted an estimated $295 million worth of marijuana, hailed U.S. District Judge Robert Aguilar's ruling Thursday as "important to protecting the rights of all citizens." "This is a very important ruling because CAMP (Campaign Against Marijuana Planting) has been acting out of control," said R. Elaine Leitner, an attorney representing the plaintiff, NORML, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. THE 2-YEAR-OLD CAMP organization includes federal, state, and local law enforcement officials who say they've seized 147,885 marijuana pants since July. A mature plant, which can grow from 10 to 20 feet tall, can yield about one pound of high-grade marijuana worth about $2,000, state of- ficials said. Various estimates have placed the value of California's marijuana crop at as much as $2 billion. Leitner said CAMP officials had been conducting "a crusade against marijuana planting and, on that crusade, taking over entire counties" with commando-style raids. Aguilar barred agents from entering private property - except open fields - without search warrants and from using helicopters for low-flying sear- ches for marijuana plants on private land. AFTER MORE than two hours of testimony from several northern California residents, Aguilar found that CAMP agents "on numerous occasions have conducted warrantless searches and seizures" in apparent violation of the 4th Amendment's protection. He also found that the CAMP program "used helicopters in violation of the 4th Amendment" and in a way "that may have effectively detained in- dividuals without reasonable suspicion A suit, filed in September, said agents invaded the Trinity County town of Denny in August. "Roadblocks, detentions, in- terrogations, destruction and seizure of personal property, warrantless, and unjustified searches of homes, to which access was gained by breaking in, and threats to innocent citizens by abusive language and rifles were authorized or carried out by defendants," the suit charged. Steve Helsley, chief of the state Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, said the program, which has focused primarily on Humboldt, Mendocino and Butte counties, would continue through the end of October although the harvest is nearing an end. He said weather would have a greater impact on the program's continuation than the judge's ruling. He also said Aguilar's ruling would be appealed. Helsley said he was skeptical of some of the court testimony. "We will find out that these complaints simply don't have any merit," he said. "Essentially we have a group of growers complaining. "I think the growers and the NORML staff are working hard to stop a very ef- fective enforcement program. The program is taking away the profit for this year." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Reagan signs anti-terrorist bill WASHINGTON - President Reagan signed legislation yesterday providing $366 million to combat the "pervasive threat" of terrorism and illegal activities to the House and Senate Intelligence Committee "That law was violated," he said. Reagan signed the bill in a private ceremony in the Oval Office and then issued a statement about the "insidious threat that terrorism poses" to the Western world. The administration sought the money after the bombing of the U.S. Em- bassy annex in Beirut last month. The measure won quick approval in Congress. Most family members of American diplomats in Beirut have left the coun- try while safety measures at the embassy are improved following the attack, according to statements yesterday from U.S. Embassy officials. John Stewart, embassy spokesman in Beirut, said five dependants left last week but declined to specify when or where they went "for security reasons." About 40 to 50 Americans still are assigned to diplomatic or security duties in Beirut. Most of the people who left last week were wives of embassy staff'- members, Stewart said. Mondale accuses CIA director WASHINGTON - Walter Mondale demanded yesterday that President Reagan fire CIA director William Casey before tomorrow's presidental debate because of the distribution of a CIA document that encourages terrorism against the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. Mondale said the law requires that CIA director Casey report on any illegal activities to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. "That law was violated," he said. Five days after the existence of the document first became known, tne Democratic challenger also called on the president to immediately explain if he plans U.S. military action against the government in Managua. The disclosure that the CIA produced the document "is a profound em- barrassment to our country," he said. In his attack on Reagan, Mondale said the president should explain how contras in Nicaragua were given instructions on how to kill local gover- nment leaders and hire criminals for specific acts of violence against the Nicaraguan government. Court upholds, handgun ban SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - A divided Illinois Supreme Court yesterday upheld the nation's first handgun ban in the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove, and the village's mayor said the ruling "sends the green light" to other com- munities considering similar laws. The 4-3 decision came on a challenge by four village residents who conten- ded that the 1981 law barring th? sale and possession of handguns violated state constitutional guarantees of the right to bear arms and was not within the scope of local officials' authority. The high court said that such a ban is constitutional as long as not all guns are outlawed and that village officials had the power to impise the ban in order der to reduce weapon-related injuries and accidents. Despite the efforts of the National Rifle Association and other groups opposed to curbs on gun ownership, the Mortoh Grove ordinance has been upheld by state and federal appellate courts. The U.S. Supreme Court last year refused to hear a separate federal suit challenging it. Justice condones 'packing' MINNEAPOLIS - Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist said yester- day he sees nothing wrong with a president trying to "pack" the nation's highest court with nominees "sympathetic to his political or philosophical principles." But Rehnquist noted that past presidents have met with only partial suc- cess in such efforts to influence American law. His remarks, in a speech prepared for delivery at the University of Min- nesota's law school, come at a time of increased speculation over how this year's presidential election will affect the Supreme Court's future. "A president who sets out to 'pack' the court seeks to appoint people to the court who are sympathetic to his political or philosophical principles. There is no reason in the world why a president should not do this," the justice said. The 1984 presidential election has focused some attention on the Supreme Court because five of the nine justices would reach age 80 before the end of the next president's term in office. Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice Thurgood Marshall are 76; Justice Harry Blackmun is 75; Justice William Brennan is 78; and Justice Lewis Powell is 77. Rehnquist is 60, the second youngest justice. Teachers seek to end strikes LOUISIANA - The St. John the Baptist Parish school district in southeast Louisiana began processing applications yesterday for new teachers to report to work next week and end the longest of the nation's teachers' 1 strikes. Though the 6,200 students in the district west of New Orleans have been out of school 54 days, the strike appeared headed for an end by the weekend. Strikes at school districts, private schools and colleges in Louisiana, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania have stretched the summer vacation into the fall for more than 47,000 students. Strikes in Illinois - at Waukegan, Mattoon, Effingham and Roodhouse - have affected about 20,000 students, and pone was near a resolution. The largest was in Waukegan, where 660 teachers with 11,600 students struck Oct. 10. A strike by 459 teachers in the 8,000-student Washington Local school district in Toledo, Ohio, entered its second day with no negotiations planned. In Pennsylvania, teachers in the New Castle School District returned to work Thursday under a court order, ending a 33-day strike. Statewide, 312 teachers in four districts were'still on strike, affecting 8,113 students.

Sounds simple enough. But there's ,a problem. Many professors say they 'von't cancel class. ' The Faculty Committee for Human Rights in El Salvador and Central America (FACHRES-CA) and the Progressive Student Network and the satin American Solidarity Committee sre sponsoring a teach-in Wednesday to commemorate Central America Day. FACHRES-CA, is a national organization based in California which is sponsoring Central America Day orums on college campuses across the country. However, only the University of California, Berkley and the University of Michigan are planning full day teach-ins, said Prof. John Van- dermeer, a FACHRES-CA member. But so far, it's become a teach-in that few faculty members or students want io take the time to participate in. Professor Daniel Levine, who teaches a class on government and politics in Latin America hadn't even heard about Central America Day as of Wednesday. And he didn't plan on changing his class schedule because of it. History Prof. Juan Cole said he would not cancel class. "I strongly believe that classes ought not to be canceled for extra-curricular events, no matter what they are," he said. However, he added that he would be glad to inform his students about the teach-in. EVEN SOME FACHRES-CA mem- bers said they would not cancel their classes. "I will, in some of my classes, talk at length about the situation (in Central America)," said Economics Prof. Locke Anderson, a FRACHES-CA member. In the "more technical" economics courses, "I will mainly just call people's attention to the programs," he says. These profs aren't alone. Some students don't want classes canceled either. "I think (canceling classes) is a preposterous idea, considering the amount of money I pay per credit hour," said Matt Renaud, a sophomore engineering school student. "I'm not saying that what's going on in Central America is not important . . . but whether you go or not (to the teach-in) should be your own decision.'' Will Renaud attend the teach-in? "Nope. Not in the middle of mid- terms." Professor Alan Wald, an English professor who helped organize the event, said canceling classes is not the issue. "FRACHES-CA did not say that professors must cancel class or they are not participating. What we asked is that they do something in response to the situation in Central America. Can- celing classes is an option," he said. And according to Wald, the number of classes canceled should not be used to determine the success of the Central America Day. "If you judge it by how many teachers cancel class, I can promise you that it will look like a failure," he said. The main goal of Central America Day is to educate, said Vandermeer. "I don't think people can make an infor- med choice if they don't even know the facts about Central America," he ad- ded. The teach-in will consist of films, speakers, debates and panel discussons in addition to a noon rally on the Diag. Democratic Revolutionary Front spokesperson Victor Rubio and Luis Mendez, counselor to the Nicaraguan Embassy in Washington, are scheduled to speak. POLICE NOTES Computer stolen Computer equipment and a television set valued at nearly $6,500 were stolen from a residence in the 700 block of Fif- th Street, according to Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Jan Suomala. The break-in occurred between 7:20 p.m. Wednesday and 1:45 a.m. Thur- sday. The intruder gained entry by kicking n a door, Suomala said. 4 (Iirrc rb ltlp 'ruirrns CAMPUS CHAPEL 1236 Washtenaw Ct. A Campus Ministry of the Christian Reformed Church Rev.
