4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 31, 1984 Student group campaigns against free zone IN BRIEF CmIledRoscIEFrs n (Continued from Page 1) making the city a nuclear free zone is the first step to halting the arms race. They say movements like this will. spread to more cities. However, Shapiro said making the city 'nuclear free' is not the answer to ending the arms race with the Soviet Union. "An end to the arms race is going to have to be between the governments of the two nations," Shapiro said. SHAPIRO ADDED that the proposal, if it is passed, will probably be found unconstitutional by a higher court. "We don't think it would be upheld by the courts, but we don't want it to go that far. Besides, we don't think it makes Ann Arbor look very good in the eyes of industry," Shapiro said. If the proposal is passed and is upheld, banning research could extend to other controversial areas such as genetic experimentation. THE GROUP is primarily concerned with banning research, Shapiro said, adding that the group has not discussed stopping the production of nuclear weapons or components. "We haven't really discussed produc- tion-wise. The main thing we didn't like was the research ban. I don't know how the productin ban would affect Ann Ar- bor. We would oppose (the production ban). We're for a free-market altogether." Doug Mikatarian, a SPOCK member and LSA junior, said he disagrees with free zone supporters who say money from nuclear weapons research hurts the economy because it depletes jobs and takes money away from social ser- vices. "IF YOU take the money out of whatever research, the money is not likely to come back to Ann Arbor anyway," Mikatarian said. The University would lose grants and businesses would lose contracts, he added. "The money would not otherwise see Ann Arbor at all. (the Act's originators) don't have much of an economic background where that's concerned." MANY OF the supporters of the proposal believe that if nuclear weapons research and production con- tinues in Ann Arbor, the city would become a prime target in event of war. "I think their desire to protect them- selves is fine," Mikatarian said. "I just think it's ridiculous. I don't think the message that sends means anything at all." Mikatarian said the production of warheads within the city "wouldn't bother" him. "FOR THE most part, we oppose one, the simplicity of it, the general naivete about it, some of the facts it bases itself upon. The economic implications don't seem to make much sense," he said ad- ding that he believes the proposal is not well conceived. "I don't think that this is the time or the right attitude for something like this." SPOCK, a loosely-structured group which consists of about fifteen mem- bers, isn't only concerned with the nuclear free zone proposal. The group originated last spring near Michigan Student Assembly election time. SPOCK's founders thought that the MSA candidates were treating their campaigns too seriously, Shapiro said. "We decided to run Mr. Spock as a write-in candidate," he added. "Last year when Spock ran for MSA president, that was back when it was more of a whim, when we were less serious about it," said Mikatarian. "It's really not a typical University organization. It's more of an ad hoc sort of thing. Everybody had some input. It's something that we just came up with, and other people say what they want, if we come up with something we want to do, we just do it."

"Perhaps we need a term at school of voluntary service where students have to work with people," he said. Students and faculty members had been anticipating Boyer's speech for about eight months. The speech was originally scheduled for 7 p.m., but was changed to 4 p.m. because of scheduling conflicts. "I'm really happy with the turnout considering the change in schedule," said LSA-SG president Eric Berman. "I'm sure some people will show up at 7 p.m. wondering where the speech is," he said. lose it Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Warsaw police recover body of kidnapped solidarity priest WARSAW, POLAND - Police frog men found the body of the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko in the icy waters of a reservoir yesterday, 11 days after three secret police officers kidnapped the popular pro-Solidarity priest. Solidarity leader Lech Walesa said "the worst has happened," and ap- pealed for calm. He offered to step down as head of the outlawed union federation if it would ensure a dialogue between Poland's communist authorities and the people. There were no reports of disturbances following the announcement on state-run television's evening newscast that the 37-year-old Warsaw priest had been murdered and his body recovered. Vatican spokesmen said they did not expect any comment from Pope John Paul II until today. Polish authorities-suggested the kidnap-murder might be part of a broader conspiracy, and put the three men jailed in the case, a captain and two lieutenants of the Interior Ministry, under special protection. The official PAP news agency said an autopsy would be performed. It did not saw how Popieluszko had been killed. Senate hears defense of porno WASHINGTON-Two women who have appeared in pornographic films told a Senate subcommittee yesterday they did not feel degraded by the ex- perience and have never known of anyone who was forced to participate in such films. "I've seen more rape in mainstream movies and television than I have in movies I've appeared in," said a woman identified only as Seka. She said she has appeared in 30 "adult films" in eight years and is "on the threshold of becoming an adult film producer." Seka and Veronica Vera, who said she has written sexually explicit stories and appeared in the movie "Consenting Adults," said they do not feel degraded by appearances in such films. "I have never met any woman who participated in pornography because she was forced to by some man," said Ms. Vera. The women also said they had never seen under 18 years old involved in the production of X-rated movies. Previous witnesses before the subcommittee have contended they were subjected to rape and other unpleasant sexual experiences because of depic- tions their partners had seen in pornographic magazines and films. Housing sales up 21.9% in Sept. WASHINGTON-Lower mortgage interest rates find good weather helped send sales of new houses up 21.9 percent in September, the biggest one- month improvement in more than four years, the Commerce Department reported yesterday. The improvement in sales was all in the South, which posted a record 52 percent jump in sales. The South is defined in the report as an enormous 16- state area bounded by Maryland to the North and Texas in the West. The development was encouraging for the entire economy, since sales stimulate new construction which in turn creates jobs in a wide variety of in- dustries. The September increase in sales was the largest since the 26.8 percent in- crease in May 1980. But the price of the average new house also took off after a rare three- month string of declines, reaching $100,000 in September. Privately several analysts said they were astounded by the unexpected surge in the South, at the same time sales in the Midwest dropped 14 percent and dropped 5 percent in the Northwest. Crowds cheer two executions Hundreds of students chanting pro-death slogans and waving mock lethal syringes cheered the execution yesterday of convicted copkiller Thomas Rudy Barefoot in Huntsville, Texas. In Louisiana, relatives of another murder victim posted a death watch in the electrocution of confessed killer Earnest Knighton Jr. Both men died within seven minutes of each other shortly after midnight. Meanwhile, North Carolina authorities prepared for the execution Friday of Margie Velma Barfield, a 52-year-old grandmother convicted of poisoning her fiance. She would be the first woman put to death in the United States in 22 years. Barfield lost a bid for a new trial yesterday, placing her fate in the hands of the state Supreme Court. Her attorneys argued Barfield was not competent to stand trial for the murder of her fiance in 1978 because of her addiction to valium and other drugs. Knighton was the fifth man to die in Louisiana since December. Barefoot was the fourth to die by injection in Texas. Bill permits 'free and fair' trade WASHINGTON-President Reagan signed an omnibus trade bill yesterday, promising to use it to seek increased "free and fair" trade rather than new restrictions. "We know that if America wants more jobs, greater prosperity and a dynamic, competitive economy, the answer is more world trade, not less," the president said in a Rose Garden ceremony. The new law gives a president greater authority to either open up trade or restrict it. Reagan and U.S. Trade Representative William Brock both stressed the administration is committed to the first of those courses. "Our economic future depends more heavily than ever before on an open world trading system," Brock said. At the same time, both he and the president repeatedly said their goal is "free and fair" trade, A number of provisions that would have sharply restricted trade were stripped from the bill by House-Senate negotiators in the closing days of the last Congress.
