IL Inquiring Photographer By Dan Habib IN BRIEF Do you think the academic pressures at the University affec- t the students' social life? Ui Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Reagan names UN ambassador WASHINGTON-President Reagan picked diplomatic troubleshooter and onetime spymaster Vernon Walters yesterday to succeed Jeane Kirkpatrick as ambassador to the United Nations. Walters, a master of eight languages and translator for four presidents, has served Reagan since 1981 as an ambassador at large, visiting about 100 countries, usually on secret missions. If confirmed by the Senate to his new post, Walter, 68, also will be a mem- ber of Reagan's Cabinet. Kirkpatrick announced Jan. 30 she was quitting to return to teaching, lecturing and writing about foreign affairs. A retired three-star Army general, Walters was deputy director of the CIA under President Nixon and Ford. He played a key role in the secret diplomacy ending American involvement in the Vietnam war, and also the negotiations leading to a renewal of U.S. ties with China. Reflecting on his assignments for Reagan, Walters said in an Associated Press interview last August, "I am not sent if success is likely. Local authorities take care of the easy problems. One of my chief tasks is ad- ministering extreme unction, just before the patient dies." Strohs to close Detroit plant 4 { Donna Romeo, Graduate student: "Most idefinitely. I'm so involved in my studies that the friends I do make are related to these studies. I don't have the opportunity or the time to meet other people." Mercedes Castro, Nursing freshman: "It definitely' does. At a school with a lower academic level, you have less work so you will have more time to socialize. You have to get organized, which is the key, along with discipline. You can find a happy medium." Louise Bylicki, LSA sophomore: "It does because people are concerned about their grades. The social life is sacrificed because there's so much work to do. People should take time out to socialize, see a film, or do something they enjoy." Kim Washington, LSA sophomore: "There's so much pressure to do well academically that people neglect their social lives; they don't enjoy themselves because theyre so worried about competing with other students." Heather Hehman, LSA sophomore: "Yes. Last year as a freshman it really hin- dered it. Now that I'm a sophomore, I know other resources and places to go. You have to decide if going out and being social is important to you, deciding your not going to study all your life." Jim Schoenburg, LSA junior: "It definitely does during fin- als and midterms. During the rest of the year, people study during the week and let loose on the weekends. People can separate their academics from their partying." Dave Tholan, LSA sophomore: "I transferred from Kalamazoo college and I found the pressure to be much less here. You can get away from the pressures when you want because there's so much going on." Roy Zornow, LSA senior: "I think it does more so in fields like engineering and science. I think there's a lot of com- petition which stifles social learning and individual development." David Romantz, LSA sophomore: "Yes. Everyone is trying to beat everyone out, so you have to study. That hinders the social life. Michelle Brown, LSA senior: "Yes. The emphasis on lear- ning is on studying and reading, as opposed to discussion. This effects social life because that manner of learning limits the possibilities of learning from other students."

They picked a great lecture, I was talking about Italian Mannerism," Kirkpatrick added. The trio's appearance in Cultural An- thropology 101 was not nearly as timely. The teaching assistants were passing out hourly exams when the sophomore students jumped out of their seats and raced to the front of MLB Aud. 3, singing and dancing to the theme of 2001. "WE TOLD the TA we were the missing link," said the Daves, which the TA then repeated for all the class to hear. monkey a class They did not stay for the exam. The gorillas said they preferred smaller classes to the larger lectures they visited. "The small classes are more personal. We want more sin- cerity in our act," they said. IT'S ANYBODY'S guess what kind of reviews the gorillas would have received from theater critics, but Kirk- patrick let the accolades flow freely. "It was a perfect performance .. . they had it down very well. It's not easy to do it (cartwheel down the aisles) with lights down for Art History," she said. Kirkpatrick may have been biased by the "very nice" artificial rose the unexpected visitors presented her after their act. DETROIT-Stroh Brewery Co., the nation's third largest brewer, announ- ced yesterday it will close its Detroit brewing plant this year, ending 135 years of beer-making in the city where the company was founded. The company's surprise announcement sent shock waves throughout the economically depressed city. Stroh's huge fire-brewed plant on Gratiot Avenue employs nearly 900 people with an annual payroll of $40 million. "This was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made," said Chairman Peter Stroh, a sixth-generation member of the Stroh family. "We have studied every reasonable alternative to closing the plant and have con- cluded this decision is best for our entire company. "It will strengthen not only our company for the future, but the future for our remaining 5,500 employees nationwide and our 1,200 wholesalers and their employees as well." S. Korean opposition leader arrested on return from exile SEOUL, South Korea-Exiled opposition leader Kim Dae-jung returned home yesterday to a rough welcome by police, and immediate house arrest. The United States, South Korea's principal ally, formally protested mistreatment of Kim and an American delegation. Some of the prominent Americans who accompanied Kim on the trip from the United States demanded that President Chun Doo-hwan's forthcoming visit to Washington be canceled, but the Reagan administration said the trip was still on, at least until what happened at the airport was clear. Moments after Kim left the plane, police pushed him and his wife into an airport elevator, shoved two American congressment and several people aside and drove the couple to their Seoul home by back roads to avoid crowds gathered along the main highway to welcome the popular opposition leader. Some of Kim's supporters said he was beaten. He told foreign reporters later: "Police used violence against me. They pushed me. I felt as if I was beaten." Norfolk Southern to buy Conrail WASHINGTON-The Transportation Department hasaselected Norfolk Southern Corp., as its choice to buy Conrail, government and industry sour- ces said yesterday.. The sale must still be approved by Congress where a number of congressmen have raised concern that a merger of Norfolk Southern, one of the East's major railroads, and Conrail might reduce competition. The sources, who asked not to be identified by name, said that Transpor- tation Secretary Elizabeth Dole selected Norfolk Southern over two other bidders, the Alleghany Corp., a new York investment company, and an in- vestment group headed by hotel executive J. Willard Marriott The merger of the two Eastern railroads, if approved by Congress would create the country's largest rail system stretching across 4,000 miles of track from Boston to New Orleans and as far west as Kansas City. The two railroads' combined revenue was more than $6 billion in 1983. Walesa calls for end to terror WARSAW, Poland-Solidarity leader Lech Walesa called yesterday for an end to repression and "propaganda terror" in Poland following the convic- tion of four secret police officers for their roles in the murder of a pro- Solidarity priest. Walesa, in his first public reaction to the trial, criticized the government's handling of the case and said authorities had failed to alleviate public fears about injustice in Poland. A panel of judges in Torun on Thursday convicted three secret police of- ficers of kidnapping and murdering the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko and senten- ced them to prison terms of 14 to 25 years. Their commanding officer received a 25-year sentence for instigating the crime. "We would like to recognize this trial as a sign of the good will of the authorities toward accord, of the advantage of the force of law over the right of force," Walesa, 41, said in a statement read by one of his aides. "But new facts occurred which make us doubt it." He cited the government's refusal to all Seweryn Blumztajn, a prominent Solidarity activist, to return to Poland from three years' exile in France. Police stopped Blumsztajn at Warsaw airport Tuesday and put him on a return flight to Paris.

I I Zen Buddhists combine old rituals, new luxuries (Continued from Page 1) me to be more aware of everything I do," she says. Before becoming a temple member, Victor Ponelis, an LSA sophomore, practiced meditation on his own. "THE FIRST time I saw Sanbul meditating I thought: 'This guy is dealing with reality. This isn't anything ridiculous. These guys are serious.' " In general, students of Zen agree that the meditation can be helpful for anyone as long as it- is done properly-that is, if people do not ex- perience the present. However, an increasing interest in Zen Buddhism has caused a problem. There are just not enough Zen priests and nuns to teach the religion. "There are from three to five million Buddhists in the United States alone and the number is growing faster here than in Asia. There are simply not enough trained teachers," Sanbul says.

MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW! actually save money by centralizing authority. "SOME OF that service could be ac- commodated by fewer people," he said. "This is nothing new," he added. "It's been talked about at the Univer- sity since 1971" when the University security department was created. So far, however, no one has been able to push the change through. Michigan Student Assembly President Scott Page said the issue probably will be sent to the assembly's Students Rights Committee, formerly the Code Committee, for discussion. HE ADDED, however, that MSA's of- ficial input in such a move would be limited. "I doubt we have to approve it," he said.
