E Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 25, 1984 Gamota: Research is underused By CHARLIE SEWELL The United States does not use the results of academic research as well as it should, said George Gamota, director of the University's .Institute of Science and Technology (IST). Speaking yesterday at Campus Meet the Press in the Michigan Union, Gamota said Japan has sur- passed the United States technologically by applying research findings. The Japanese take the basic research of American universities and apply it to technological problems, while in the United States much of this same research is completed and then "put on the shelf," Gamota said. HE STRESSED the need for relationships between university researchers and private corporations to encourage the application of research. "Universities, because of their research faculties, are a wealth of ideas, tremendous potential," Gamota said. He said copperation between universities and cor- porations is valuable, but that "there are pitfalls". One problem is that corporations which sponsor research projects usually want exclusive rights to the results of these projects and will not let the Univer- sity release them publicly. Gamota said it is inappropriate for the University to do research for the sole benefit of one corporation. "The University does not do research which is not ultimately published," he said. Gamota said he did not think that the University's reputation for student activism, illustrated most recently by the blockading of an engineering laboratory last March, would be an inhibitory factor in its competition for Defense Department dollars. He also said that passage of the Nuclear Free Zone proposal, intended to ban the testing, design, resear- ch and development of nuclear weapons in Ann Ar- bor, would have very little affect on IST projects. Most of IST's research does not have direct military application, he said.

Akxnsl JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - More than 70,000 children in four black townships boycotted their schools yesterday after the army and police raided their communities and conducted a house-to-house search for riot instigators. Those townships south of Johan- nesburg were quiet, police reported, but they said rioting flared in other townships east and west of Johan- nesburg, and east of Cape Province. Two people were injured and 14 rioters were arrested, and an unspecified number of buildings were set afire, said police Lt. J. L. Barnard at national headquarters in Pretoria. ~o boycott ed Police and South African Press Association said the rioting broke out in Katlehong, Tembisa, and Kwathema townships east of the capital; in town- ships on the fringes of northern Soweto township, and in New Brighton and Kwazenkele in the eastern Cape Province near Port Elizabeth on theIn- dian Ocean. The township sweep was the largest police-army operation since the riots began in late August, when the white government established separate houses in Parliament for Asian and mixed race minorities but left the black majority with no representation. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Top military chief cited f or conspiracy to assassinate Aqu1ino MANILA, Philippines - A civilian investigatory board yesterday accused armed forces chief Gen. Fabian Ver of complicity in the assassination of. Benigno Aquino, and Ver temporarily stepped down. Opposition leaders called for President Ferdinand Marcos to resign. Marcos accepted the request of his most trusted and powerful military of- ficer for a leave of absence, but supported Ver's claim of innocence of in- volvement in the Aug. 21, 1983, killing of the opposition leader and Rolando Galman, the man the military said shot Aquino. The board, in a 457-page report, claimed Aquino and Galman were killed in a military conspiracy involving Ver, two other generals, two colonels, three captains,17 other soldiers, and one civilian. The panel members, who presented their report to President Ferdinand Marcos of the presidential palance yesterday after a year of testimony, recommended that all involved be immediately indicted and tried. It called the alleged plot "an act of tragic responsibility inspired by ab-. solute power."~ Policeman arrested in Warsaw in connecion with priest's abduction, WARSAW, Poland - A Warsaw policeman was arrested yesterday in con- nection with the kidnapping of a pro-Solidarity priest, the state television reported. He was placed under arrest for "willfully absenting himself from his job" and failing to provide an adequate abibi for missing work last Friday, the day the. Rev. Jerry Popieluszko of Warsaw was abducted, the report said. The policeman was identified only as Grzegorz P. The official Polish new agency PAP said he was a functionary of the Interior Ministry, which con- trols Poland's police force and internal security service. According to the television report, he was among several drivers of cars, similar to the one believed used by the priest's kidnapper who had been: questioned about the abduction. The arrest was the first in connection with the abduction of the priest on a. highway in northern Poland last Friday night. One of the abductors was: dressed in a police uniform, according to official reports and the testimony of the priest's driver. Earlier yesterday, Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and the outlawed union's underground leadership said Poland's Communist authorities bear respon- sibility for the kidnapping of a pro-Solidarity priest.

Hagerman sees it as an "opportunity for students of law who understand that a second Reagan administration would not be beneficial to do something about it. Our aims are twofold: One, to in- crease the level of support at various schools for Mondale/Ferraro and against Reagan; Second, we want to transform grass roots support to a media event ... to counter the negative press in terms of college students becoming Reagan supporters," Hagerman said. "That's just not so." Professor Alexander Aleinikoff of the University of Michigan Law School also believes the group can be an effective force. According to Aleinikoff, who supports the coalition, "One of the sur- prising things in recent polls is the number of young people voting with the President . . . since their interests lie with Democrats. A student group talking to students about the election will probably be more effective than adults talking to students about the election."

Student attacked A 20-year-old University student was attacked Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. while walking in Nichols Arboretum, accor- ding to Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Jan Suomala. The woman was walking in the lower part of the Arb when a man approached and began to talk to her. The man then grabbed the woman's arms and pushed her to the ground, Suomala said. The woman began to scream, and the man told her to be quiet and that he had a knife. The woman continued to scream, and began to fight the at- tacker, Suomala said. Upon hearing the screams, a jogger ran to the scene and chased the subject out of the Arb. The woman sustained minor injuries to her face. -Molly Melby "_"'"' . J.

Douglas MacAr- thur's return to the Philippines. At least 51 people, including 36 members of the American Legion tour, were injured in the blaze that gutted the wood-frame, four-story Pines Hotel in the hillside tourist resort of Baguio, 125 miles north of Manila. "The Americans have all been accounted for," said Maj. Barry Glickman, a spokesman at the Clark U.S. Air Force base, where the injured Americans, - many of them elderly and infirm - and unhurt tour members were airlif- ted. The conditionis of the other injured, some of whom were hospitalized in the Baguio area, were not known. The fire erupted around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and burned through the night. Officials estimated some 330 guests were inside the 423-room hotel at the time, including the U.S. Group and a 110-member Asian women's delegation.; Scientists will revive embryos. SYDNEY, Australia - The two frozen embryos left by a dead American: couple will go anonymously to prospective adoptive parents, the Victoria state attorney general said yesterday. Attorney General Jim Kennan said the parents will not be Americans, even though many women from the United States have volunteered to become the embryos' mother. Scientists repeated yesterday that they doubted the embryos - which were frozen in 1981 when the freezing techniques were being developed -; would survive thawing. But scientists promised to make every effort to thaw the embryos and implant them in a surrogate mother. Kennan said even if the embryos survive and are born, it was unlikely any resulting children would have any claim on the estate of Mario an~d Elsa Rios, the Los Angeles couple who had the embryos created. The legislation blocking the embryos' destruction also clears the way for their adoption, and Kennan said this would mean the children would be con- sidered solely the offspring of their adoptive parents. GM-UAW impasse broken TORONTO - An impasse that stalled talks between striking United Auto Workers and General Motors Corp's Canadian subsidiary was broken last night, raising hopes of an early settlement, a union leader said. "It's fair to describe it an a breakthrough in terms of getting the talks star- ted," UAW leader Robert White told a news conference. "We have tran- sformed the mood from pessimism to very cautious optimism," White said. The weeklong strike by 36,000 GM workers in Canada already has forced layoffs of 21,885 U.S. workers at 18 plants in six states, with the effect expec-; ted to escalate quickly. White said much work remained to be done before a final settlement would be reached, and an aide said the talks could not be concluded Friday.
