4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Saturday, January 26, 1985 Inquiring Photographer By Stu Weidenbach Q. How do you feel about proposals that would ban happy hour specials? Hugh Mulla'y, Bartender, senior: "I'm against it. I think bars should alter prices as they see fit. Many of the people who come in just look for the specials and I think it will af- fect the number of people who drink." Terry Yarmak, engineering junior: "It's not going to stop people from drinking and driving. I would go to happy hour even if there weren't specials." Lisa Henry, LSA sophomore: "It's not really relevant in this town because we all walk to the bars. I usually go to happy hours because its Friday or just to relax with friends and not because of drink specials." Kay Dickerson, LSA junior: "I think its a vain attempt to prevent drinking and driving. People don't drink more because of two for one drink specials. People do know what they're doing therefore I don't think they will have any ef- fect." buane Foster, Russian Studies senior: "I feel they won't be ef- fective in what they're trying to do. People will drink and drive no matter what. Banning happy hours won't affect my drinking habits." Vickie Hershey, Nursing senior: "I think its a good idea because it might cut down on the number of people who go to the bar right after work and have to drive. I only go to hap- py hours to hang out with friends, not because pitchers cost $2.50." Charlie Ryan, Bartender: "Bars will get around the two for one specials by offering reduced prices for drinks. It won't stop me from going because I go for the floor specials." Mary Hodges, LSA senior: "I think they're stupid, especially here on campus where people only walk to bars. If they ban happy hours I'll still go out but not as often. Two for one drink specials don't make people drink any more." Mike Sovel, engineering junior: "I think the idea is good, but it won't really work. If I have a hard week I'm gon- na go to the bar anyway whether or not there are drink specials. They won't have any effect on drinking and driving." Kathy Bazil, LSA senior: "I think its a good idea to ban two for one drink specials. The mere fact that two drinks are in front of you instead of one encourages drinking. But I don't go to bars because of drink specials, I go to socialize." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Orders for durable goods rise WASHINGTON - Orders to factories for durable goods rose a strong 14.9 percent in 1984 while sales of existing homes posted their best perfor- mance in four years, according to two economc reports released yesterday. The reports capped a week of good economic news which has led many forecasters to boost their estimates of growth in coming months. The Commerce Department said orders for durable goods - items expec- ted to last three or more hears - climbed to a record $1.211 trillion in 1984. Last year's gain followed an even stronger 17.1 percent jump in 1983. The increases marked the best two-year performance since 1977 and 1978, when orders rose by 19 percent and 18.4 percent, respectively. Orders for durable goods had fallen 10.2 percent in the recession year of 1982. "These back-to-back increases show that we had super growth in the last two years," said Allen Sinai, chief economist for Shearson Lehman- American Express. He predicted strong growth in manufacturing orders again in 1985, but not another year of double-digit increases. Soviets say Chernenko ailing MOSCOW - Soviet officials acknowledge President Konstantin Cher- nenko has been ill during the past four weeks, but their versions of his ailment vary widely, a senior Western diplomat said yesterday. "High people have said he is ill," said the diplomat, who spoke on con- dition that he not be identified by name or nationality. "They have said it as though they meant it, and as though it's serious. It's pretty obvious that his health has been declining." However, the diplomat said, he had "absolutely no independent infor- mation" on the state of the 73-year-old Chernenko's health. Different Soviet officials have said that Chernenko suffers from "everything from em- physema to a stroke," the diplomat added. He also said the Soviets seem more open about Chernenko's health problems than they were during the lengthy illness of his predecessor, Y uri Andropov, who died last February. Soviet officials are "taking it more calmly," he said. "There is less feeling that this is something that there is a major reason for trying to hide or cover up," the diplomat said. There has been specualtion about Chernenko's health since his failure to appear Dec. 24 at the Red Square funeral of Defense Minister Dmitri Un- tinov. Sen. Dole demands defense cut WASHINGTON - Senate Republican leader Robert Dole yesterday step- ped up pressure for a reduction in defense spending, saying if President Reagan "is not on board, then we can't get anywhere" in cutting the federal deficit. Dole and other GOP leaders have been pressing for a freeze on military spending in fiscal 1986, or at the very least, a smaller amount of money than the 6 percent increase proposed by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. Reagan backs Weinberger. The Republican senators are writing their own budget independently of the White House - which sends the administration plan to Congress Feb. 4 - but their progress has slowed due to disagreements on defense and other issues. Dole's goal is to cut $50 billion from the $230 billion deficit in fiscal 1986 and slash it in half by 1988. "I won't say everything is lost if we don't get more defense reductions, but maybe most of it," Dole told a business forum breakfast. "If we go off on our own and the president in not on board, then we can't get anywhere." Nicaragua orders mtary draft MANAGUA, Nicaragua - The Nicaraguan government yesterday ov- dered all youths between the ages of 19 and 24 in the central province of Managua to report for compulsory military service or face imprisonment. A Nicaraguan Defense Ministry notice appeared in Managua newspapers listing the names of approximately 5,000 youths in the province who were or- dered to report for physicals at military bases next week. Those passing the physicals will be sent to military training camp for six months before being mobilized to combat zones along the northern and southern borders where army troops are battling U.S.-backed rebels. The order called on "all youths registered in the military service who were born between the years of 1961 and 1966 to present themselves in the military delegation zones with proof of registration for the corresponding updating." Grand jury refuses to indict Goetz in subway shootings NEW YORK - A grand jury yesterday refused to indict Bernhard Goetz for attempted murder in the shootings of four young men on a subway, and instead indicted him only on three counts of criminal possession of a weapon. "What the grand jury dicided here was that he was illegally carrying a pistol but he was justified in protecting himself from a robbery," said Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, in announcing the indic- tment. Goetz's lawyers scheduled a news conference later in the afternoon to comment on the grand jury's action. Goetz, 37, remains free on $50,000 bail. Arraignment was scheduled for Feb.6. The indictment by the 23-member grand jury was the latest twist in a case that has drawn national attention since Dec. 22, when the four youths asked Goetz to give them $5 andhe reeled off five shots instead. 01be 3idji-ian B ig Vol. XCV - No.96 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.

"IT LOOKS like a trend (by the Reagan administration) of trying to cut the federal deficit by reducing an agen- cy which has always increased its budget," Randolph said. "To the Office of Management and Budget, the NIH looked ripe for cutting." The DRDA, a University-sponsored office which acts as a liaison between researchers and funding organizations, reports that the University received 359 new grants last year from the Public Health Service, almost all of which came from the NIH. Statistics gathered by the DRDA show that NIH money accounts for 65 percent of the combined research gran- ts in the University's medical, dental, and nursing schools, as well as some in LSA and engineering. According to Randolph, the ad- ministration does not have the legal authority to take money from the agen- cy, but can instead limit the number of grants given to researchers, thus spen- ding fewer government dollars. The av erage NIH grant awarded is between $140,000 and $150,000. "If the NIH is forced to reduce its grants," Randolph said, "we'll never know how many grants we might have won." Researchers denied NIH grants have the option of seeking funds from private agencies such as the American Cancer Society or the Kidney Foundation. Dennis Cebulski, the assistant direc- tor of DRDA, said federal funding also can be obtained by showing the research has implications for other government agencies like NASA or the Department of Defense. Correction All University teaching assistants currently pay 60 percent of in-state tuition and the University pays the other 40 percent. A story in yesterday's Daily incorrectly stated that the TAs pay 40 percent in-state tuition. ( lurdl Wnrobip 'etice0 CAMPUS CHAPEL 1236 Washtenaw Ct.
