For the more than 150 high school students assembled at the University for the Michigan High School Debate Championships yesterday, that statement ended a year's worth of research and arguing. The students, from 54 high schools in the state, finished up the three days of heated debate at various locations in the School of Education and the Modern Language Building. The competitors were among the top students in the state, according to Dean Fitzgerald, who coordinated the event. "They are bright kids," he said. Those schools arguing the affir- mative presented solutions ranging from resurrecting New Deal relief agencies to mandatory retirement for people reaching the age of 65. Tremendous savings on hampers -- picnic baskets - wine racks - shelves - oak rockers - dining sets and much, much more. MOSTLY WICKER Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Sunday, February 3, 1985 'U' hosts high school debate championships IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports They offered solutions to problems such as crime and mental disorders that are sometimes brought upon by unemployment. "Our plan," some students said, "will solve all these ills." While the affirmative team presented their arguments their opponents scrib- bled down notes on three by five cards, attempting to discredit the other's poin- ts. Some student arguing the negatives said the status quo is working. Where, they ask, is all the money to support these programs going to come from? Detailed analysis of the problems were presented by both sides. At one point, one of the affirmatives described soil erosion in great detail to prove the need for a Civilian Conservation Corps. "We need the CCC again. We need it more than ever.'' A girl from Henry Ford High School in Dearborn watching the debates vowed to return to the competition next year as a participant. "I'm in tenth grade, but I'm not stupid," she said.

The officials, said Kurt Jansson, the U.N. assistant secretary-general, asked Mengistu Haile Mariam, Ethiopia's head of state, to allow the Inter- national committee of the Red Cross to organize transportation of food to guerrilla-controlled areas of Tigre and Eritrea. The officials who declined to be identified said Mengistu turned down Jan- sson's request, but promised him that Aiddis Abada would step up armed convoys of relief supplies to Ethiopia's nothern regions. Jansson's request followed protests from western donors that food ship- ments were being blocked to an estimated 2.3 million people in famine- stricken areas outside government control, the aid officials said. Bell companies increase profits WASHINGTON - In their first year, American Telephone & Telegraph and the seven new Bell companies had combined profits more than 40 per- cent higher thah the old Bell System showed in 1983. Consumer groups attribute this to local rate hikes. The eight companies, created by the Jan. 1, 1984 breakup of the world's largest corporation, had $90.95 billion in revenues and $8.186 billion in profits. In comparison, Ma Bell in 1983 had $69.403 billion in revenues and$5.7 billion in earnings before writing off $5.5 billion worth of telephone equipment. An AT&T spolesman said the Bell System had a pattern of $4 billion to $5 billion in revenue growth each year, but that still leaves a $2 billion gain for the first year after divestiture. Although AT&T's long-distance rates have dropped 6.1 percent as a result of divestiture, local Bell companies were granted $5.1 billion of the $10.9 billion in rate hikes they benefited last year. Chile's state of siege continues SANTIAGO, Chile, Ignoring U.S. pressure and objections by some ad- visers, President Augusto Pinochet decreed a 90-day extension of the state of siege yesterday to stifle opposition political activity throughout Chile. The decree, published without comment in the official bulletin, main- tained special curbs on the press and on public gatherings until May 6 because of what it called a "state of internal convulstion" in Chile. Pinochet, an army general who toppled the Marxist government of Salvador Allende in a 1973 coup, imposed the clampdown last Nov. 6 to combat a surge of terrorism and mass demonstrations for a swift return to democracy. He has insisted on adherence to a constitution that prolongs hs authoritarian rula at least until 1989. No government official would comment on the state of siege yesterday. Pinochet was away at his summer home. Officials search prison after riot PENDLETON, Ind. - Yesterday Prison officials secured and searched the maximum-security cellblock where prisoners held hostages for 15 hours during a rebellion that left seven guards and two inmates injured. Friday's siege at the Indiana Reformatory ended when a group of in- mates protesting abusive guards and angered at reports a prisoner had been beaten released the last two hostages and secured agreement from the Department of Correction on a list of demands. Seven guards and two inmates were injured when prisoners armed with home-made knives took three reformatory employees hostage in Cellblock J. one of the hostages, officer Dana Millstead, was released early because of a medical condition requiring medication. The inmates had 22 demands - including requests for an FBI in- vestigation of abuse by guards and a probe by a bipartisan, biracial panel of Indiana legislators. Pope continues tour of Peru LIMA, Peru - Crowds chanting Spanish rhymes and waving banners welcomed Pope John Paul II as he arrived in the southern Peruvian desert city of Arequipa yesterday to beatify a 17th-century nun and say outdoor Mass at the foot of a dormant volcano. The pontiff arranged to return later in the day to this sprawling decaying capital to address a youthful audience Saturday night. John Paul, making his sixth trip to Latin America, traveled Saturday morning to Arequipa, 635 miles from Lima at the foot of the volcano Misi and snow-capped Chachani Mountain. About 200,000 people from Peru and from neighborhing Chile and Bolivia cheered, sang and hurled flower petals when the pontiff arrived. "John Paul, our friend, Arequipa is with you!" throngs chanted as the pope rode through the streets. He appeared tired on the eighth day of his 12- day, four-nation journey. Beatification of the cloistered nun, Sister Ana de Los Angeles Monteagudo represented the last step before she could be made a saint.
