'U' official to study transp The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 25, 1985 - Page 5 lants By DOV COHEN A University Hospitals official named yesterday to a federal task force on organ transplants said his main goal is not to further the hospitals' transplant program. The University recently announced its bid to become the state's official organ transplant center. JEPTHA DALSTON, executive director of the hospitals, said his primary reason for working with the task force was to examine "a major societal issue of our time." "There are a host of unsettled issues in front of us," Dalston said. "How many (transplants) can we afford? What are the criteria for recipients? Should the donors be reimbursed? What are the ethical and moral considerations?" Dalston said he doubted his new position would help the University in its bid to become the state transplant center. "IT'S IMPORTANT that we be right at the point of policy formulation at the national level, so it can be integrated in the state of Michigan," Dalston said. "I will be acting in a liason role (by) bringing information back to the University and taking our views back to Washington," he said. The purpose of the task force, set up by the Organ Procurement and Transplant Act last October, is to "conduct a comprehensive examination of medical, legal, ethical, economical, and social issues presented by human organ procurement and transplantation," said University Hospitals spokesman Rick Bossard. Dalston was chosen for the 21-member task force after giving his name to Rep. Carl Pursell (D-Mich.), who then nominated him, Bossard said. "He was chosen because of his interest and professional accomplishments and insight into health care financing," Bossard said. George Zuidema, vice provost for medical affairs, said he was "very supportive of (the nomination) and delighted about it" in a statement released yesterday. lAnn Arbor's Authorized Dealer 1 1 Apple Computer Dealer is 1 I I Soffering you special savings on all MacintoshTsoftware in stock. 10% off when you buy 2 or more!

Elden will announce the sentence Feb. 22. After the trial, the defendants said they had no regrets because they were given an opportunity to express their views about military research. ERHARD KOCK, father of one of the demonstrators, said he supported his daughter. "I'm proud of what she did, that she had the courage to do this," he said. "When you take a stand for something you can have no regrets. She won't have regrets, I won't have regrets." Courtroom 1 of the 15th District Court was packed with supporters of the demonstrators. Tom Marx, one of the defendants in this case whose trial date has not been set, said most of the sup- porters were members of the PSN. ONLY THREE OF the 11 demon- strators arrested were tried yesterday. A pre-trial date for the others has been set for Jan. 24. PRIOR TO the entrance of the jury, a University attorney asked Elden to quash a subpoena issued by the defense ordering University President Harold Shapiro to appear in court. The attor- ney said Shapiro had left for Tucson, Ariz. in the morning to make a speech and would not return until Monday. Koster said Shapiro's testimony was vital to his case. Shapiro's testimony is "in direct favor of the defendants," he said. Koster hoped to prove that only Shapiro. had the authority to invoke the trespass act and that he could not have done so because he was in Washington P.C. that day. Elden decided that the case would begin, but that it would not be concluded until Koster had a chance to question Shapiro. In his opening statement, Noah told. the jury that trespassing is a serious of- fense but not a difficult one to verify. He informed the jury that an eight-minute video tape had been made of the demonstration and that the tape would prove the defendants' guilt. "ONE PART OF the University didn't know what the other part was doing,". Koster said in his statement. Koster wanted to establish that although several University officials ha ve the authority to read the trespass act, only Shapiro has the authority to decide if it is to be read. Noah called Haddad as his first wit- ness. HADDAD testified that on the day in question, "There were several people )lockading the entrance to the aboratory. He said he asked the students what they were doing there. They made several demands which he said were beyond his control. According to Haddad, the demon- strators demanded that the guidelines adopted by the University for classified research projects be extended to non- classified research. The guidelines stat that projects, "the clearly foreseeable and probably result of which, the direct application of which, or any specific purpose of which is to destroy human life or to incapacitate human beings," shall be prohibited on campus. THE demonstrators also demanded that the University publish all contracts with the Department of Defense and that Haddad stop doing his research. Noah concluded his questioning of Haddad by asking him if the demon- strators were in the way. "They were interfering with the con- duct of the department and the laboratory," answered Haddad. IN HIS cross-examination of Haddad, Koster established that the demon- strators had not gone into the laboratory, but had stayed just inside the doorway. Walt Stevens, director of public safety for the University said he was present when the trespass act was read to the demonstrators and that they were duly warned that they would be arrested if they chose not to leave. The students were given five minutes to leave and then were removed by Ann Arbor police. WHEN IT CAME time for Koster to present his case, he decided to waive Shapiro's subpoena and present his case without Shapiro's testimony. The attorneys had their testimony previously agreed not to make other University officials appear unless their testimony was required. Later Koster said he wasn't sure if Shapiro's testimony would have changed the verdict. "I don't know," he said. "I think so, but I don't know. I thought we had a shot (at winning without Shapiro). I may have made a tactical mistake going ahead with the case." THE DEFENDANTS did get a chan- ce to explain their reasons for demon- strating. "The research in Prof. Haddad's labaoratory is part of the notion that we need weapons to achieve peace," said Nancy Aronoff, one of the defen- dants. S"I feel that this fear (of nuclear holocaust) is like a dark cloud over everybody," said Amy ann Angelasstro, another defendant. "People are waiting to die. They have no hope." ANGELASTRO SAID she exhibited hope by demonstrating against military research. "I was arrested because I wanted to call attention to Haddad's research, which is going to lead to a nuclear war," said Ingrid Kock, the third defendant. Kock also cited thedecision of the regents not to extend the guidelines for classified research to non-classified projects, after the Michigan Student Assembly and the faculty senate ap- proved the proposal, as another reason she demonstrated. "IN THIS CASE I couldn't stay within the law becasue.. .the regents cut off of- ficial channels" of communicationk, said Kock. "There was no authority for this arrest with President Shapiro out of town, "Koster said. But the thrust of his closing statement took on a different face. He concluded by leaving the jury with one thought. "These women have shown a willingness to bear witness, a willingness to take a risk, a willingness to demonstrate their hope, for you, for me and for future generations," said Koster.
