ADVANCE REGISTRATION $10 Hine[ 663-3336 1429 Hill Street By JERRY MARKON "If neither MSA nor the Michigan Daily were here on campus, it would be a pretty happy day for the ad- ministration," said Michigan Student Assembly President Scott Page yester- day at Campus Meet the Press in the Kuenzel Room of the Michigan Union. Bill Spindle, Daily editor-in-chief ap- peared with Page at the forum. "Both MSA and the Daily keep an eye on the University, and make sure the student viewpoint is heard," Page said, explaining that both organizations prevent the administration from achieving goals, such as the adopting code for non-academic conduct, without any opposition. MSA is unique because it is the only organization on campus which can in- fluence policy decisions and is representative of all the University's students, Page said. Spindle said the Daily is unique because it is "the Gnly objective news organization on campus that's indepen- dent of the University." Spindle and Page, however, differed on whether or not their organizations can influence University policy. MSA IS planning to meet with Veronica Latta Smith and Neal Nielsen, the candidates who won Tuesday's regental elections. "With convincing arguments, they and the rest of the regents will listen to us," Page said. But Spindle disagreed. "Although the regents will listen to student grievances on some issues, on the real fundamen- tals they stop listening and you're just beating your head against the wall," he said, explaining that the code is one of those "fundamental issues." Both Spindle and Page agreed that student apathy is a problem on campus. TODAY'S students ask "what can society do for me?" instead of "what can I contribute to society?" Spindle said. "Students today are more concerned with their own economic welfare than with social issues," Page said, adding that human rights, affirmative action and the environment are issues which didn't get the proper amount of student attention in this year's election. The code is another issue which just isn't getting enough student attention, Page said. "A lot of students are cop- ping out by not taking time to be aware of the code issue," he said. If more students read the code, more students would protest it, Page said. If you're done with your homework, it's much easier to go to the bars than read the code," he added.

HYATT REGENCY$COLUMBUS AT OHIO CENTER 350 NORTH HICH STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO 43215 614 463 1234 Lebanese terrorists threaten U.S. again BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) - The fun- damentalist Islamic Jihad terrorist group yesterday vowed to attack NOON LUNCHEON FRIDAY, NOV. 9 Prof. Alan Wald, LSA: "The Responsibility of University Faculty to Participate in Movements of Social Change,, 802 MONROE Lunch is available at $1 00 Americans and U.S. targets in Lebanon and promised "the region will be put on fire." The threat came as the Lebanese Cabinet named an eight-man armed forces delegation to talks with Israel on the withdrawal of Israel's 10,000 troops from southern Lebanon. In a telephone call to a western news agency, an Arabic-speaking male who said he represented the pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad condemned the negotiations, scheduled to begin today. The radical movement Monday said any group negotiating with Israel would be put on a "black list." Israel maintains that the Israeli- armed South Lebanon Army should remain behind after any withdrawal to police a buffer zone north of the Israeli border while United Nations troops patrol another zone parallel to it. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Soviet minister Ustinov missing MOSCOW-The Soviet Union marked the 67th anniversary of the Russian Revolution yesterday with a conciliatory overture to President Reagan and a military parade notable for the absence of ailing Defense Minister Dmitri Ustinov. The absence of Ustinov, 76, last seen Sept. 27, underlined the uncertainty over an aging Kremlin leadership that includes President Konstantin Cher- nenko, 73, Premier Nikolai Tjkhonov, 79, and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, 75. Politburo member and Moscow party boss Victor Grishin told reporters in Red Square that Ustinov had a sore throat. A foreign ministry spokesman also said that Ustinov was "unwell." Dme diplomat said he believed ustinov must be seriously ill because he also missed a Kremlin ceremony Tuesday evening. President Konstantin Chermenko was also the subject of speculation when he was not seen in public for nearly two months during the summer. Top officials purged in India NEW DELHI, India-The government removed five top-ranking police - and intelligence officers from their posts yesterday in a mounting security purge resulting from the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. A leading Indian newspaper reported, meanwhile, that Gandhi's killers. had planned to assassinate her son, Rajiv, alongside the prime minister but were frustrated by his unexpected absence from the Gandhi compound at the time of the shooting last Wednesday. In the security shakeup yesterday, the government replaced the domestic intelligence network's chief, R. Kapoor, and deputy chief, Pattan Sehgal, and several other senior intelligence officials were transferred. Authorities also suspended three top New Delhi police officers who were in charge of the prime minister's security. Government sources said more dismissals were likely, UNI reported. Many Sikhs have been removed from sensitive security posts since the assassination, but the five purged yesterday were all Hindus. No new unrest has been reported among Sikh soldiers, even though the Gandhi assassination ignited a savage Hindu backlash that left more than 1,000 Sikhs dead. Unofficial reports put the death toll as high as 2,000 in New Delhi alone, but authorities acknowledge only 601 deaths here. Crosswinds delay shuttle launch CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.-Killer crosswinds, packing enough power to rip the fuel tank and booster rockets from the space shuttle in itsclimb to or- bit, forced a one-day postponement yesterday in the start of Discovery's satellite rescue mission. Officials rescheduled the liftoff for 7:15 a.m. EST today but that, too, depended on the capricious winds. Air Force weathermen were told to monitor the winds with a series of high-altitude balloon flights, the last only two hours before the new launch time. The astronauts must begin heir unprecedented pursuit of the two stranded satellites by Sunday or their mission will have to be delayed 45 days when the satellites' orbital path again puts them in the right position for rescue. The problem yesterday was that a low pressure trough moving through the area created winds of varying directions high above the oceanside shut- tleport. Winds were only 10 mph on the surface, but they increased to over hurricane force at an altitude of 30,000 feet. It was only the fifth time in the shuttle program that astronauts were in their seats waitirgg to blast away from Earth when they were told the launch was scrubbed. Two of the previous scrubs involved Discovery. Smoking reduces heart's pumping power, research says BOSTON-Cigarette smoking, a well-known contributor to heart attacks, also causes a rare but lethal disease that weakens the heart's pumping power, researchers have found. The study found that in young men, at least, smoking causes car- diomyopathy, a condition that results in heart failure and is often fatal. Exactly how smoking does this is still not clear. However, Dr. Arthur Har- tz of the Medical College of Wisconsin speculates that the nicotine or carbon monoxide in the smoke somehow poisons the heart. "It probably causes cardiomyopathy with a direct toxic effect on the heart muscle that weakens it," he said in an interview. Other research has shown that men who smoke are two to three times more likely than non-smokers to die from heart attacks. Heart attacks usually occur when the heart's own blood supply is temporarily blocked, and a section of heart muscle dies from lack of oxygen. Court clears way for execution WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court yesterday cleared the way for the execution today of Timothy Palmes, convicted of killing a Jacksonville, Fla., store owner in 1976. Palmes, 37, was scheduled to die by noon EST in Florida's electric chair. The high court, by a 7-2 vote, refused to postpone the execution to give Palme's lawyers more time to pursue appeals. Dissenting were Justices Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan, who, oppose the death penalty. Palmes was convicted of stabbing James Stone 18 times on Oct. 4, 1976, before Stones' body was loaded into a wooden box and dropped into a river. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court postponed Palmes' scheduled yester- day execution to give his lawyers time to go to the Supreme Court. The ap- peals court stay expires at 10 a.m. today. Another convicted Florida killer, Chester Maxwell, also had been scheduled to die yesterday. But the Florida Supreme Court granted Maxwell an indefinite stay of execution.
