Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 21, 1985 State Senate passes abortion bill IN BRIEF--1 Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports .4 . o LANSING (UPI) - The Senate gave final approval yesterday to a ban on funding for welfare abortions - an act certain to be countered with a veto by Gov. James Blanchard. Most observers agree abortion foes have their best chance in years of mustering the two-thirds vote necessary to override that veto and finally end state funding of the operations. ADOPTION OF THE ban was seen as a forgone conclusion and merely a warm-up for the real showdown on the veto. But that did not stop critics of the cutoff from mounting a spirited, if doomed, fight. In fact, despite the lopsided 25-8 vote in favor of the bill, most of the speeches came from opponents. Senate Republican leader John Engler made a 'Abortion foes are imposing their "private morality . . . only on the poor people of Michigan."' - Senator John Kelly (D-Detroit) suggested abortion rights advocates should raise themselves the money necessary to pay for poor women's abortions. "THIS IS an opportunity to fill the gap if they wish," he said. Michigan is one of only 12 states which continue to pay for welfare abor- tions. Six of them, including New York and California, do so under court order. Blanchard and his predecessor have used the veto 13 times since 1978 to preserve the program in this state. Abortion opponents say gains in last fall's House elections should give them the strength needed to override Blan- chard's veto this year. The Senate, usually has had no problem mustering the needed two-thirds vote. During the last fiscal year, the state paid for 18,600 elective abortions at a total cost of $5.9 million. U.S. expects greater access to 4 token, low-key presentation on behalf of proponents. THE BILL, which already had passed the House, excludes abortions from coverage under Michigan's Medicaid program unless they are necessary to save the mother's life: Sen. Harry DeMaso sought in vain to broaden that exception to include the victims of incest and rape. Sen. John Kelley (D-Detroit) said abortion foes are imposing their "private morality... only on the poor people of Michigan." BUT ENGLER said the bill is "sim- ply resolving who pays" for abortion.' "The people of Michigan have said emphatically the state should not pay," he said. The Mount Pleasant Republican The fastest=-growing profession in America.

Campus snatches up '5s film p1 (Continued from Page 1) was saturated last year and everyone became sick of him, according to Farrington. The manager of Make Waves on State St. says that at her store both Dean and Monroe share the position of best- selling poster personality. She estimates that she sells about 10 Monroe posters per week. REASONS FOR Monroe's and Dean's appeal on campus vary with the fan. For many Monroe admirers her image as a sex goddess is her main appeal. Dean is often idolized for his rebellious attitude. And both seem to share the fame associated with an individual who dies before they have a chance to realize their full potential. LSA freshman Eric Champnella says he likes the character Dean portrayed in his movies. "He told authority to buzz off," Champnella says. He says he also believes Dean's death in a car crash on Sept. 30, 1955-one month before his.most well known film, Rebel Without A Cause, was released-played an important part in his popularity. "No one looks at the bad things after a tragic death like that," says Champnella. In contrast to Monroe's numerous films, Dean only appeared in three and after his death Warner Brothers Studios was literally swamped with mail from all over the world. The first actor to be nominated for an Academy Award posthumously, Dean was thought to portray characters involved in a clash between the older and osters younger generation. DOUGLAS GRAHAM, a Markley resident advisor, says he attributes Dean's fame to "a combination of the wild and the youthful image." Monroe, on the other hand, was a veteran of 30 films, including Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend, and The Seven Year Itch, two of her most famous. Her marriages to baseball great Joe Dimaggio and playwright and Univer- sity alumnus Arthur Miller also provoked public interest in her life. Playboy Magazine, in an article in- troducing Monroe as its first playmate, described the movie actress as "natural sex personified." That description may have added to her image as an American sex symbol. JOHN METZGER, an LSA freshman who describes himself as a "lustful ad- mirer" of Monroe, says he thinks Monroe's success continues because "everybody lusted after her." The manager of Make Waves said Monroe's tragic death due to an over- dose of sleeping pills may explain her appeal. Shegsays she thinks the primary reason for her popularity, however, is the outrageousness she represents. "I know some people who think she's the sexiest woman ever, but most buy because it's a statement of our decadent society," she says. "Nobody is serious these days." LSA senior John Schmidt says he sees Monroe as a legend. "She had _ something that sparked in everyone,"' Schmidt says. Japanese market WASHINGTON-The United States expects Japan to offer greater market, access to U.S. products in exchange for the removal of voluntary quotas on automobile exports to this country, administration officials said yesterday. With President Reagan urged by his senior advisers to stand aside and allow the quotas to expire March 31, officials indicated any such decision. would carry an implicit request that Japan offer trade concessions in return. "We want reciprocal action," one official said. The Cabinet Council on Commerce and Trade unanimously agreed. Tuesday that the decision on a possible fifth year of auto export restraints should be left to the Japanese. The recommendation was described as a tacit decision to allow the restraints to lapse. Japanese officials have told their U.S. counterparts that exports to the United States, limited to 1.85 million units a year under the quotas, would go. no higher than about 2.2 million if the restraints are lifted. U.S., Soviets end Mideast talks VIENNA-U.S. and Soviet officials concluded two days of talks on the' Middle East yesterday-their first in more than a decade-as Yasser F, Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization endorsed a new Jordanian-PLO peace initiative. Neither side had any immediate public comment on the Vienna talks, which U.S. officials had said should be seen only as an "exchange of views'" instead of negotiations. It was generally presumed that the closed-door talks-the superpowers' first high-level, official discussions on the region since 1973-covered the Arab-Israeli conflict, Lebanon, the Persian Gulf was and the Soviet oc- cupation of Afghanistan. Western analysts in the Austrian capital said during the opening session of the talks that the U.S. delegation might propose a Soviet role in Middle East peace negotiations if Moscow were to fulfill certain conditions. Faulty map found *n plane crash BILBAD, Spain-Iberia airlines admitted yesterday the pilot of a jetliner that clipped a television tower and smashed into a mountain, killing all 148 people aboard, was using a faulty map but insistedthat was not the cause of the tragedy. Aviation officials said pilot Jose Juis Patino was flying the Boeing 727 off- course and too low Tuesday when the plane slammed into Oiz mountain, 18 miles from Bilbao in the northern Basque region, on a flight from Madrid. They offered no explanation for the iIcorrect course. Three Americans were killed in the crash, the third major air disaster in Spain in less than 15 months, along with Bolivian Labor Minister Gonialo Guzman Eguez. "Something's wrong in Spanish aviation when there are so many acciden- ts," said pilots union President Manuel Lopez, who charged Tuesday's crash was the result of a faulty map supplied by Iberia to its aviators. Nineteen victims have been identified, officials said. Sa Heart implant patients improve LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Aritificial heart patient William Schroeder, set back by strokes, fever and discouragement, has undergone a "dramatic im- provement" and might be well enough to leave the hospital next week, a hospital spokesman said yesterday. That assessment was a complete turnabout from Monday, when the same spokesman said Schroeder was so ill and low in spirits he might never leave the Humana Hospital Audubon. On Monday, Dr. Allan Lansing said Schroeder "appears to be withdrawn" and was "very weak, tired and discouraged." His strokes had affected his short- term memory. A summary of Lansing's remarks released by the hospital said Schroeder's illness "has raised doubts in the minds of the medical staff about whether he will be able to leave the hospital." Schroeder became the first artificial heart patient ever to leave the hospital when he took a 15-minute ride into the Tuesday afternoon sunshine in Humana Hospital Audobon's pa-king lot. Meanwhile, artificial heart recipient No. 3, Murray Haydon, who got a plastic and metal mechanical heart Sunday, continued his smooth recovery. Thatcher supports Reagan's policies in White House speech WASHINGTON-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher voiced strong support yesterday for President Reagan's "Star Wars" research program and praised his exonomic policies, declaring, "Now the sun is rising in the West." Thatcher, the Conservative Party leader whose foreign policy and economic views closely parallel Reagan's, met with the president at the White House to review arms control, the Middle East and economic mat- ters-with attention likely to focus on the flagging British pound. "I firmly support President Reagan's decision to pursue research into defense against ballistic nuclear missiles," she told House and Senate mem- bers in the crowded House chamber. By embracing the Star Wars effort; Thatcher put herself at odds with those in Western Europe who fear it might encourage the United States to with- draw its nuclear umbrella from the continent, or escalate the arms race and destabilize the balance of power.

SILBER ASKED Miltenburg whether he had mimicked Picozzi's mannerisms and asked Miltenburg to "demonstrate it for me." Miltenburg, whose testimony was of- ten less than serious, readily obliged. "Hi!" he snapped nasally. Miltenburg said the Picozzi greeting became something like a secret handshake - an inside joke in the law school. But after all the jokes and stories about Picozzi's past behavior, Milten- burg became serious. He said he did not recall his whereabouts the night before the incident because "I knew I hadn't set the fire." The trials which took place in a mock courtroom in the Law Quad, attracted dozens of curious law students, some of whom knew Picozzi. Tony Flores, a third-year law student, said he thought Picozzi was capable of setting the fire. Rick Garcia, a second year law student, said he enjoyed the light- hearted atmosphere of the trial. "For me it's educational," he added. "I'm here to see how attorneys deal with evidence and procedure.' IS YOUR DAILY MISSING?
