Shapiro
says code
apples
protesters
By LAURIE DELATER
University President Harold Shapiro told students
at a forum last night that he would not ban the use of
the proposed student code for non-academic conduct
as a method of selective punishment for civil
disobedience.
"If (civil disobedience) means interfering with the
legitimate pursuits of other members of the
academic community, than I wouldn't be in favor" of
restricting the code from punishing student
protesters, Shapiro said.
SPEAKING TO a crowd of about 300 students
packed into an Angell Hall, auditorium last night,
Shapiro repeatedly said the key purpose of the
proposed guidelines for governing student behavior
outside the classroom is to protect the academic
freedom of members of the University community.
But he said academic freedom is not currently
stifled, and can only be improved upon. Shapiro told
the crowd that safety was not "a big issue" in
developing a code, yet every example he cited as
proof of a need for a code was safety-related - the
harassment of instructors or campus bus drivers, or
damage to University property.
AND SHAPIRO said he didn't know how many
cases of harassment or destruction actually occur on

MANAGUA, Nicaragua - A
suspected U.S. spy plane broke the
sound barrier over five
Nicaraguan cities yesterday, sen-
ding panicked residents into the
streets amid fears of a U.S. strike
to destroy a Soviet cargo believed
to be MiG jets.
A Pentagon spokesman denied
U.S. aircraft had flown in
Nicaraguan air space, but wit-
nesses said at least one jet caused
"loud explosions" over Managua,
the port of Corinto, Masaya, Ocotal
and Rivas.
A BOOM shook the capital about
9:30 a.m. Similar booms Oct. 31
were first attributed to bombs, but
the government later said they
were produced by a U.S. plane
flying at supersonic speed. After
the Oct. 31 boom, military sources
in neighboring Honduras said the
plane was a Honduran plane
breaking the sound barrier over
Honduras.
"It is the same North American
spy plane of the SR-71 type that
violated Nicaraguan air space last
week . . . It is the spy plane again,"
said Capt. Rosa Pasos of the
Defense Ministry. She said the
Foreign Ministry would protest
formally to Secretary of State
with spying
George Shultz over the alleged
violation of air space.
In a protest note on Wednesday,
Foreign Minister Miguel D'Escoto
said two U.S. Navy frigates and
U.S. aircraft "harassed" a Soviet
cargo ship when it was seven miles
off the Nicaraguan coast.
DEFENSE SOURCES did not
rule out the possibility that SR-71
spyplanes, which can sustain
altitudes of 80,000 feet and
photograph 100,000 square miles of
territory in an hour, have flown
near Nicaraguan air space to snap
pictures of the Burkiana with
special camera equipment.
But the Pentagon repeatedly and
emphatically denied charges by
Nicaragua that U.S. warships and
C-130 transport planes violated its
territory.
The overflight came amid a
warning by Sen. Daniel Moynihan

Reported invasion
plan stirs students
Amid rumors yesterday of a
planned U.S. invasion of
Nicaragua, University students
and local groups worked feverishly
to plan their response to an in-
vasion.
At a noon rally at the Federal
Building, organizers warned
onlookers to be prepared to protest
the reported imminent invasion.
PETER ROSSETT of the Latin
American Solidarity Committee
told the group of about 40 people
that he had received reports from
Nicaraguan citizens and the
National Network for Solidarity with
the Peoples of Nicaragua in
Washington that Nicaragua had
sent out an invasion alert.
The same sources, Rossett said'
reported that two U.S. paratrooper
divisions, the 82nd and the 101st
Airborne, were mobilized in
possible preparation for an in-
vasion, and that hospital beds had
been reserved and military leaves
cancelled at the Fort Bragg
military base in North Carolina.

objects to
research
By CHARLES SEWELL
A member of the University's
Classified Research Review Panel
(CRRP) will raise objections at a
Research Policies Committee (RPC)
meeting today to a project proposed by
two electrical and computer
engineering professors.
Profs. Theodore Birdsall and Kurt
Metzger teamed up with researchers
from the Massachussettes-based Wood-
shole Oceanic Institute in writing the
research proposal, which has been
submitted to the National Science
Foundation (NSF) for funding.
NANCY ARONOFF, CRRP student
representative, said she objects to the
project because it violates the Univer-
sity's classified research rules. These

WASHINGTON (AP)-Education
Secretary T.H. Bell, who helped spark a
nationwide drive to raise school stan
dards and made education an asset for
President Reagan instead of an
albatross, announced his resignation
yesterday to return to Utah as a college
professor.
"We're involved in a real renaissanc
of American education," Bell told a
news conference. "It's been a joy to b
a part of that." But he said "a four
year hitch" was long enough.
THE VACATIONING president, in a
letter released by the White House to
Santa Barbara, Calif., expressed his
"deep regret" and said "I want you to
know how greatly I will miss you asa
member of my Cabinet."
Bell, who will turn 63 Sunday, sai
personal reasons led to his decision to
return home, both to resume beinga
professor of school administration a
the University of Utah and to attend toa

- Possible successors include John

s Bell predicted his successor, whoever

Ford, Carter to host 'U' symposium

Cyanide campaigner
Brown University student Jason Salzman speaks to a class in the Modern Languages Building yesterday. Salzman
came to campus at the request of students who want the University to stockpile suicide pills for student use in the event
of a nuclear war. Salzman created and organized the movement at Brown which currently is gaining popularity across
the nation. "We want people to equate nuclear war with suicide," he said.

Former presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter will
moderate a symposium next week which organizers hope will
provide some new answers for ending the arms race and
establishing a common ground between both parties on the
issue.
Ford and Carter will meet with various scholars and
statesmen - including Zbigniew Brzezinski, National
Security Advisor under the Carter administration - to
discuss the problems of arms control and negotiations bet-
ween the world's two superpowers. The symposium's two
sessions will take place in the Rackham Auditorium before
an audience made up of University students and faculty
members.
"THEIR HOPES are to educate the general public and
make suggestions to the policy-making community in the
U.S. on what to do vis a vis the critical isue of arms control,"
said Kenneth Stein, executive director of Atlanta's Carter
Center, which is co-sponsoring the meeting with the Gerald
R. Ford Library at the University.

Four more hours
The movie theater worker hoped to be recognized as a
Guiness record-holder for nonstop viewing of a "classic"
film. Four people began the attempt to establish a record
last Saturday, but only Lazarek was left when the judges
decided they had had enough. Lazarek, who watched the
Reagan film 56 times, won a video cassette recorder, a copy
of the film and a trophy for his efforts. Organizer Graham
Smith said he was prepared to give equal time to Reagan's
Presidential opponent Walter Mondale. "If Mr.
Mondale had won, I would have written him to ask for his
old home movies," Smith said.
woman from another group "came up and said 'You sound
like an American, where are you from?"' "I said the Mid-
west and she said, 'Whereabouts in the Midwest?' I said
Minnesota and she said she was from there, too, and asked
me where from in Minnesota. I said you probably haven't
heard of it. It's a small village in northern Minnesota called
Crosslake. She just let out a scream and grabbed this man
and said, 'Look, dear, I found someone from Crosslake.' "
Milk and cookies
the admiral now and it looks like we've got the help we need
to finish the job," coordinator Mike Meyer said Wednesday
as he prepared to haul the cookies to Jacksonville, Fla., for
delivery. Meyer, a columnist for the Times-Georgian
newspaper in Carrollton, Ga., got the idea for the "I Love
America" effort when his son, one of 5,300 sailors aboard
the ship, said the main thing they missed was home
cooking. "I know this present will be much appreciated,"
said Navy spokesman Nick Young. "Unless you've been at
sea, you can't imagine what the last two days of a long
deployment are like. I'm sure they will enjoy the cookies
very much."
