The fight at MSU gan Jan. 23 when MSU Vice President Moses Turner asked Darin Greyerbiehl of Revolver Cinema and his roomate Bob Murawski of Box Office Spectaculars to stop showing the films. The groups balked and were suspended as student organizations for showing inappropriate films and Hoffman lauc (Continued from Page 1) He lauded Brown University's student stopped qu vote to stockpile suicide pills in the policies. event of a nuclear war as a noble move.

Turner's action was prompted, in part, by a com- plaint from the Women's Council, a branch of student goernment at MSU. The American Civil Liberties Union, acting on behalf of the student film groups, plans to ask the U.S. Dictrict Court today for a temporary restraining order permitting X-rated fare to be shown on campus. The ACLU and the film groups claim it is a straightforward case of censorship. University of Michigan spokesman Terry Gallagher said the subject "hasn't been an issue on campus" and that student film groups, which rarely show X-rated fare, report they have not recieved any protests. He said the university's ombudsman - who would likely receive any complaints - has not gotten any calls and the university administration has not interfered. There apparently has not been a serious problem with it on Michigan's other major campuses.

HILLEL 1429 Hill Street For more information call 663-3336 NEW YORK - William Westmoreland, feeling he has cleared his nam has dropped his $120 million libel suit against CBS, his lawyers told a judge., yesterday. But a network source said the retired general quit because he knew he couldn't win. The settlement was announced to U.S. District Judge Perre Leval a few days before the testimony was to have ended in the 18-week trial. The suit stemmed from a documentary accusing Westmoreland of suppressing the true strength of communist forces in Vietnam in 1967 to maintain political support for the war. The final and probably the biggest blow to Westmoreland's case was delivered by retired Col. Gains Hawkins, the man who once was in charge of sizing up enemy forces for Westmoreland's staff in South Vietnam. Hawkins flatly contradicted Westmoreland's own testimony, saying that the general rejected estimates of enemy strength in 1967 because they were "politically unacceptable." A CBS source who spoke on condition of anonymity said Westmoreland and his lawyers "just concluded they didn't have any chance of winning." Artificial heart patient improves LOUISVILLE - Murray Haydon made "excellent" progress yesterday with a new mechanical heart pulsing in his chest, but doctors expressed in- creased concern about the condition of artificial heart patient Bill Schroeder. Haydon,r58, of Louisville, became the world's third permanent artificial heart recipient Sunday just down the corridor from Schroeder, who has not beentwell enough to leave Humana Hospital Audubon since his Nov. 25 im- plant. Dr. Allan Lansing, chairman of the Humana Heart Institute and the hospital's chief medical spokesman, said Haydon was making a trouble-free recovery after Sunday's flawless implant. Lansing said doctors were weaning Haydon from a resperatoar that had aided his breathing after the implant. At the same time, Lansing's assessment of Schroeder, 53, of Jasper, Ind., has the most pessimistic by the Audubon surgical team since Schroeder suf- fered a Dec. 13 stroke which left him briefly paralyzed and speechless. 3 killed in South Africa riot CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Police fired on crowds of stone-throwing blacks yesterday killing three people and wounding 11 others in clashes sparked by fears the white-ruled government plans to force blacks to aban- don a squatters camp, officials said. Police Capt. Jan Calitz said crowds of up to 3,000 blacks confronted police when officers surrounded the Crossroads squatters camp, 12 miles from Cape Town, and sealed off all approach roads early yesterday. The police action came after youths stoned passing buses and autos, police said. Police spokesman Lt. Henry Beck said two men were killed when police fired rubber bullets and a third was killed by shotgun fire while looting a liquor store in a neighboring black township. At least 11 blacks were injured by police in the clashes and four policemen sustained slight injuries, police said. Mondale meets with labor leader BAL HARBOUR, Fla. - AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland met yester- day with Walter Mondale and declared the labor federation will battle the Reagan administration and fight for the political beliefs of organized labor. "until we get it right." "We have an obligation to defend our membership through every channel that's open to us," Kirkland told a news conference when asked how the federation intended to combat an administration that takes anti-union stan- ds. Kirkland condemned the administration for, among other things, charging three union presidents affiliated with the AFL-CIO of violating the Hatch Act and placing tight limits on the political activities of federal workers. Mondale said that one subject touched on in his closed meeting with the council was the accusation during the campaign that the endorsement of his candidacy by the AFL-CIO general board made him a captive of special in- terests. "I thought it was a bad rap," Mondale said. "These are-working men and women. They are part of this country. They never asked me for a thing ex- cept for justice, for the enforcement of the laws. Lebanese car bomb kills 3 BEIRUT, Lebanon - A car bomb exploded outside a Shiite militia office yesterday, killing three people and injuring more than 40.
