Activities honor slain civil rights activist in slaying of prof LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Vietnamese refugee goes on trial tomorrow in the slaying of a university professor, a case complicated by allegations the victim had engaged in illegal high-tech trade with Vietnam and had received death threats for his frequent contacts with that country's communist government. Physics professor Edward Cooper- man, 48, was shot to death in October in his office at California State University- Fullerton. Minh Van Lam, 21, one of a number of Vietnamese students Cooperman befriended, is charged with murder in the case, which is scheduled to be tried in Orange County Superior Court. FRIENDS AND colleagues say Cooperman, an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War who had visited that country at least a dozen times since 1977, received death threats. They suspect he was assassinated because he supported Vietnam. However, Lam, described by his at- torney as a staunch anti-communist, says the shooting occurred as the two were horsing around with a gun. Deputy District Attorney Mel Jensen has declined all comment on the case. Defense attorney Alan May said his investigations have revealed a portrait of Cooperman as a man who felt caught between U.S. authorities and Viet- namese officials, who bought guns for the first time in his life as his situation began to frighten him. ACCORDING TO May, the Viet- namese felt that Cooperman, head of the Foundation for Scientific Cooperation with Vietnam, misled them over the quality of computers he imported there, possibly illegally, and were unhappy over his meetings with State Department officials after his trips to Vietnam. On the morning of his death, Cooper- man received a call from a Vietnamese official at the United Nations sum- moning him to a meeting with Viet- nam's foreign minister, May said. "His wife said he was upset and didn't want to go. I have her taped statement to police," said May. President's closely knit (Continued from Page 1) the black conmmunity in last year's election. "The media thought he was some sort of fly-by-nighter, but he really is the embodiment of the continuation of an existing movement," Morris said, ad- ding that Jackson has been instrumen- tal in organizing the support of the black church. THOUGH Jackson's candidacy did much to boost the hopes of the black community, the current economic situation for blacks in this country is far from King's ideal, Morris said. "While the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, as led by King, was suc- cessful in overthrowing segregation, it was unsuccessful in changing the economic inequalities," Morris said. PSYCHOLOGY IN RELIGION SERIES The Psychological Space of Religious Experience Clinical Psychologist Jeff Last, Ph.D., will discuss the growth of the religious sensibility from the point of view of the stages of human psychological development. Where do our religious feelings come from? Are they, as Freud believed, simply illusions, or is religion expressive of the individuation process? What is meant by the idea that the function of re- ligion is to bring people close to God, but not too close? "For every dollar a white family makes, a black family is making 50 cen- ts." Earnest Wilson, a University political science professor, will also speak on "Martin Luther King - His Personal Vision for World Peace." both Morris and Wilson said they are committed to remembering the life of King, who Morris refers to as "the one who epitomized the Civil Rights Movement." Although President Reagan last year singed legislation making King's birth- day a national holiday, the official ob- servance will not begin until next year. And approval of the legislation did not just slide through Congress. Concerned that the establishment of another non- working day might pose a threat to the economy, Sen. Jesse Helms (R-North Carolina) and other Senate Republicans attempted to block the bill declaring the holiday. But civil rights activists, such as Corretta Scott King, the civil rights leader's widow, musician Stevie Won der, and House Speaker Tip O'Neill succeeded in convincing their colleagues and President Reagan that the holiday was vital to memorialize King's ac hievements. United Press International reports 8 Walled Lake protesters acquited WALLED Lake, Mich.-A district court jury has acquitted eight people of charges of conspiracy to tresspass but convicted them of tresspassing in 1983 protests at a company that manufactures cruise missile engines. The jury in the Detroit suburb of Walled Lake deliberated two hours late yesterday before handing down its verdict following a week-long trial. The eight, each fined $50 by Judge Michael Bathick, were: Margaret Garrigues and Sister Barbara Beasley, both of Ann Arbor; and Detroiters Sisters Shelia Gainey and Kit Concannom, the Rev. Tom Limpkin and Bill Kellermann, Jeanie Wylie and Maryann Arborgast. They were among 53 people arrested at Williams International Corp. in Walled Lake during a week of demonstrations in late 1983. Williams International has been the scene of numerous demonstrations by such groups as the Detroit Peace Community and the Ann Arbor Peace Community. A spokesman for the Detroit Peace Community said Saturday more than 30 arrests have been made in four demonstrations at the defense contractor during 1984. French troops sent to calm riot NOUMEA, New Caledonia-French Premier Laurent Fabius said in Paris yesterday he was immediately sending 1,000 additional troops to this Fren- ch-ruled South Pacific territory to help break the "cycle of violence" that left three dead and dozens injured in two days of rioting. New Caledonia's territorial government declared a state of emergency earlier in the day after police killed two Melanesian pro-independence leaders in a gunfight in an isolated area on the west coast about 55 miles from here. Police enforced a dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed in Noumea after 24 hours of street battles between security forces and anti-independence European residents. By evening, calm had returned to the streets of the capital. Officials said 33 people-29 police and four civilians-were hurt and 48 people were arrested. The rioters hurled rocks, bottles and gasoline bombs at police, set fire to seven buildings and dozens of cars, and looted stores, police said. Army investigates nssile accident HEILBROWN, West Germany-U.S. Army experts yesterday began their investigation of how the motor of an unarmed Pershing 2 missile ignited, killing three American soldiers and sparking anew political furor over the rocket deployment. Two groups of American investigators-a 15-person team from the army's U.S.-based Missile Command and another from the U.S. Army Safety Center at Fort Rucker, Ala.-arrived in Germany to study Friday's accident. U.S. authorities based in West Germany began a separate enquiry. Three U.S. soldiers were killed and 16 others injured-three critically-when the solid fuel in the first-stage motor of a two-stage Per- shing 2 missile ignited at the Waldheide U.S. missile training ground, near Heilbrown, 50 miles north of Stuttgart, army officials said. Army spokesmen stressed the missile was unarmed at the time of the ac- s cident, which officials said occurred during a "routine operation" in a tent at the training ground. Nine of the 16 men injured remained hospitalized yesterday, an army spokesman said. Heart trmisplant patient improving ANN ARBOR, Mich.-Doctors at University Hospitals said yesterday a Detroit man was in serious but stable condition less than two days after . receiving a new heart during a 5-hour operation. LaVerne Hill, 39, was "doing very well under the circumstances," a hospital spokesman said. He said Dr. Marvin Kirsh, who headed the surgery Thursday night, was 'very pleased' with the patient's condition. "This is the first heart transplant patient that we've had at this period of time immediately following surgery that wasn't in critical but stable con- dition," the spokesman said. Hill was the fifth heart transplant patient in a year at the hospital. He suffers from cardiomyopathy, a degeneration of the heart, and was ad- mitted to the hospital a week ago. Jackson to try to free priest CHICAGO-The Rev. Jesse Jackson met with the family of a priest kid- napped in Lebanon, and said he would issue a "moral appeal" for the release of the priest and three other Americans who disappeared in Beirut. Jackson said he was exploring religious and political channels to free the Rev. Lawrence Martin Jenco, who was abducted Tuesday, the other Americans and a Saudi Arabian diplomat held in Lebanon. In addition to Jenco, the missing Americans are Cable News Network's Beirut bureau chief, Jeremy Levin; U.S. Embassy political officer William Buckley; and the Rev. Benjamin Weir, a Presbyterian minister. The missing Saudi diplomat is Hussein Farrash. "We know people in Lebanon, Syria and Iran who would tend to have ac- cess to various organizations and groups in the area," said Jackson. He said he would make a "moral appeal for a new level of dialogue and com- munication." Though he did not commit himself to a Lebanon trip on their behalf, he said, "When it is feasible to go, we are going to go." "We do not have any government portfolio," he said. "We can only make the moral appeal." : x 4 l 4 llf 1429 Hill Street Monday, Jan. 14 7:30 p.m. ll n reply .. . S passive smoking more than a minor nuisance or real annoyance. That's a broad and vague statement being made in a nation-wide, multi- million dollar campaign by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. For those who are fortunate not to have a chronic lung or heart disease, who don't suffer from allergies, or who may not have an acute respiratory illness that may be true. However, medical evidence is conclusive: passive smoking is injurious to a large number of individuals - young and old, rich and poor, and from any ethnic group. Cabinet team unravels (Continued from Page 1) falling as the second term changes shake down. REAGAN HAS moved equally prom- ptly to fill most of the vacancies with the exception of the position of Secretary of Education vacated by Terrel Bell last fall. The president approved a trade of jobs between Regan and chief of staff James Baker. He also tapped gnergy Secretary Donald Hodell to be Interior Secretary replacing William Clark, who is returning to California. In other changes, he moved John Herrington, director of the White House personnel office, into Hodell's job. Another Cabinet appointee is William Bennett, chairman of the National En- dowment on Humanities, who will replace Bell as head of the Department of Education. White HouseCbunselor Edwin Meese, another of Reagan's California ad- visers, has been nominated to be at- torney general succeeding William French Smith, who is returning to private life. Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan, indicted in a mass transit scandal in New York, is on a leave of absence. More changes apparently are in the wind with Regan expected to shake up the White House staff now that the California contingent will soon be gone. 14 5 5M~OK1I 1301 - SioKI1N' ARA , ARa - ©1979 ' DKS- u DtiRAr D uv4AT 'VDU EL COC PA !

According to the tobacco industry, smok- ing is a personal decision made by adults. Unfortunately the sidestream smoke from a cigarette, pipe or cigar becomes public, af- fecting everyone around, and therefore should be subject to certain rules, controls and laws to protect people in public places.
