Ninety-five Years of Editorial Freedom Lit4 i Iai1 Absent Sunny and warmer, high in the upper 40's. ol. XCV, No. 122. Copyright 1985, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Thursday, March 7, 1985 Fifteen Cents Eight Pages Sudarkasa Vies for, Fla. A&M presidency By ERIC MATTSON The University administrator responsible for minority student affairs is one of four finalists being considered for the presidency of Florida A&M University, an official in Tallahassee said yesterday. Florida regents will probably decide on March 29 whether Niara Sudarkasa, associate vice president for academic affairs, will get the position. SUDARKASA and the three other finalists will receive a final interview in Memphis two weeks from now, accor- ding to Steve McCarthur, a vice chan- cellor of Florida's public universities. But even though she made the final four of 213 initial applicants, Sudarkasa is reserved about her chances of getting the job. "I'm making no assumptions about getting the position,"' she said., ';I'm See 'U', Page 2 Bye bye Bucks By TIM MAKINEN COLUMBUS - It's time to celebrate a victory, but in the future, the Michigan basketball team should probably postpone its jubilation until after the game. Leading by 17 points with just over 12 minutes to play, the Wolverines relaxed and permitted Ohio State to get back in- to the contest before eventually dousing the Buckeyes, 77-72, last night in loud and raucous St. John's Arena. ANTOINE Joubert calmly sank six straight foul shots in three crucial one- one situations in the last 38 seconds to preserve the victory.The league cham- pion Wolverines now stand at 15-2 in the Big Ten and 24-3 overall. Michigan sealed its 15th consecutive win, the longest streak in the school's history. Ohio State, meanwhile, fell to 10-7 in the conference and 18-9 overall. The Buckeyes' chances for an NCAA tournament bid are dimished consider.. ably with the loss. "We beat an excellent basketball Associated Press team," said Michigan coach Bill Oo SFrieder. "We made some crucial Ohio State s Joe Concheck can only stand helplessly as center Roy Tarpley mistakes and it just shows you that puts in two of his game-high 23 points iMichigan's 77-72 win last nigh,. Tar- we've got a long way to go ourselves." pley also had 16 rebounds as the Wolverines improved their record to 24-3, MICHIGAN led at halftime, 38-29, and 15-2 in the Big Ten. OSU falls 77-72 as 'M' notches record and then exploded after the inter- mission. Center Roy Tarpley, who led all scorers with 23 points, floated a hook 'shot through the hoop to begin a 6-point Wolverine spurt at the start of the second half. Richard Rellford, again having an excellent game at both ends of the court, dropped a driving lay-up, Butch Wade crushed a dunk, and Gary Grant pummeled the Ohio State nets with an outside jdmper. When the Buckeyes finally collected their breath, at 12:53 of the half, a 54-37 score stared them in the face. The Wolverines' high-fives appeared, a few scattered number-1 signals were sent out, and a mood of celebration gripped the Michigan bench. "WHAT really hurt us was the first five minutes of the second half," said Buckeye guard Ronnie Stokes. "They got out by 16 or 17 points and we couldn't get back in-the game." Grant, in particular, was all smiles. The freshman from Canton, Ohio was thought to be going to Ohio State last year before he decided to enroll at Michigan. Consequently, he was heavily booed by the Buckeye faithful. "I was listening, but later in the game, they weren't talking to me as much," said Grant. STOKES, A teammate of Grant's at McKinley High School, capitalized on Michigan's lax play and mounted the long but furious Ohio State combat. The 5-11. guard sank a jumper to cut Michigan's lead to 10, then stole an in- bounds pass at 4:54 and converted the ensuing lay-up to pull the margin down to eight points, 64-56. After the Wolverines called a time- out, Stokes pumped in two more lay-ups and the lead was down to four with four See WOLVERINES, Page 8 1 1 . r.

"The University does not demonstrate its concern for women's safety by advocating the implementation of the code," she said, "the University however would show their concern by activating preventive programs such as im- proved lig! ag, night time transportation, and counseling services." "MANY WOMEN hesitate going to the library, to the movies, or doing other things they might normally do at night if they were guaranteed safe passage." She recommended to the council several steps to help en- sure the safety of women on campus, including an expansion of Night Owl services, improved lighting around campus, and an emergency phone system which would send help. "Imagine a victim trying to dial for help while she's being attacked," said Ryan, and if you don't believe that it's dark at night try by going out to the Diag at 9 p.m. Much of the lighting on campus is done for aesthetic purposes, not for safety." RYAN ALSO proposed educational improvements to com- bat a second and little known kind of rape, date or acquain- tance rape. "Nobody ever talks about date rapes," said Ryan. "We have to tell women that it's OK to say no. If you're in an un- comfortable situation, get out. It doesn't matter if he paid $25 for dinner, get out." "The Code does not provide lights, it does not provide educational work shops or the preventive held we so desperately need. It seems like action too late." THE COUNCIL also spoke with Ryan and Jeffifer Faigel, " editor of the MSA News about how they'd prosecute alleged See RYAN, Page 3 Panel discusses L. ..N . .......... ....... . . ........1................................ -::": .. .................".... .1.. .".. .}":.. . . . . .f.. ..J.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?"f. .. 1. .

"There are cases where agreements are better made outside of the courts," said Helen Bennett, a psychiatric social worker, "though you do have to have a back up system." ALAN LEBOW, executive director of Fathers for Equal Rights, began the discussion of the rights of non-custodial parents. Lebow said that after a husband and wife separate "the only. right of the father is the right to pay." Paul Meyer, speaking for the Democratic Socialists, added that fathers have the right to pay but in our society, they also have the right to earn. Lebow said he prefers to see the issue of custodial rights not exclusively in terms of men's and women's rights because children's rights are also in- volved. "THE WHOLE attitude of the state is that children are the property of the gover- nment," said Libertarian League member James Hudker. "I don't think sexism is the orly problem," said Bennett, "there is the problem of greed." Bennett noted that a lispUtes. percentage of all court costs for divorce cases are set aside as a cache to be used to pay judges retirement benefits. "There is a real incentive to keep people coming back," she added. Bennett suggested that men and women considering separation should meet with trained counselors and try to avoid the courts. "I AM MORE in favor of the democratization of the judicial system than in its abolition," said Meyer. He thought the courts were not sensitive to the needs of the individual. Some of the members of the audience felt that opposing viewpoints had not been adequately represented. "They weren't arguing," said Wendy Lockwood, an LSA senior, "they didn't have anything to argue about." "They had no one to argue with," said Tom Ferguson. "I felt the moderator used this time to air his own political views," said a University senior who wished to remain anonymous, "he tried to move the flow of the discussion away from the specific issues of equality and individual rights." Yesterday's panel discussion entitled "Equality and Individual Rights" was sponsored by the Ann Arbor Liber- tarian League. NEW YORK (AP) Health authorities are becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of fragrant, clove-and-tobacco Indonesian cigarettes called kreteks, whose U.S. sales have jumped from 16 million a year in 1980 to more than 100 million last year. Dr. Frederick Schechter, a surgeon at the Univer- sity of California at Irvine, has assembled four cases in which teen-agers who smoked kreteks subsequen- tly came down with severe pneumonia-like illnesses. Two of the teen-agers died. "WHAT IS most appalling is that government of- ficials, schools and parents were unaware that this had become a universal habit," Schechter said in an interview yesterday. On Monday, Ronald and Carole Cislaw of Hun- *1 Je- tington Beach, Calif., filed a $25 million lawsuit against a munufacturer of clove cigarettes, conten- ding that their 17-year-old son, Tim, suffered breathing difficulties that led to his death after smoking several "Djarum Specials" on March 2, 1984. Schechter treated the boy. "Apparently, although Timmy had been sick for two weeks, he did not get really sick until he smoked these cigarettes," Schechter said. THE CIGARETTES, sold under brand names including Djarum, Jakarta, and Gudand Garam, are made of about 70 percent tobacco an 30 percent clove, said Dr. . Sue Binder, a medical epidemiologist at the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The active ingredient in the cloves is eugenol, which in its purified form is used as an anesthetic by dentist, said Binder. " THERE HAVE BEEN patients hospitalized after smoking clove cigarettes, but we haven't really done any studies yet to show whether there's a link bet- ween clove cigarettes and the hospitalization of these patients," said Binder. Eugenol is on the U.S. Food and Drug Ad- ministration's GRAS list Generally Recognized As Safe, but no one has examined eugenol's effect on the sensitive tissues in the respiratory system, said Schechter. In the absence of government safety studies, "The kids are being allowed to field test it," said Schechter. PSN puts 'U' on trial By KERY MURAKAMI On the eve of the trial of seven Progressive Student Net- work members arrested one year ago today for conducting a sit-in at electrical engineering Prof. George Haddad's laboratory, several PSN members put the University on trhere was no judge, no jurors, no lawyers, and the "cour- troom" was a classroom in East Quad, but 13 students gathered around in a circle and discussed whether or not the University should be doing military research on campus. MILITARY RESEARCH, they argued, violates the provisions of the Nuremburg trials held after World War II. PSN member David Miklethun, read from the trial tran- scripts: "A. Crimes of peace: 1. The planning, preparation, }or initiation of war or aggression against any other country. "The research that's being done on this campus clearly describes preparation for a first strike in war," Miklethun said. "I consider this planning for aggression." In defense of the research, Chuck Lipsik, an RC freshman, said that stopping research which "granted may have military uses, but could also have beneficial aspects is like cutting off your nose to spite your face." HE CITED examples of possible defense department spon- sored research for tanks which might develop a stronger metal for automobiles. Lipsik defended Haddad's diode }research by pointing out that a diode has numerous uses besides military applications. A diode, he said, could be used to help link hospital computers. Nancy Aronoff, an LSA sophomore and one of two demon- strators sent to jail last month for their part in the sit-in, responded that the diodes being researched by Prof. Haddad did not have civilian applications. "In these computer communications you talk about, it in- volves producing energy for a long period of time. These diodes produce such high energy that it would burn out in' short time," said Koch. On allowing research for defensive purposes because of the possibility of peaceful applications, the prosecution argued, as Deane Baker, a Rackham graduate student said, "if they can have peaceful purposes, why fund them through the Department of Defense? If we focus the research just to find the peaceful means, it would be quicker, cheaper and sim- pler." MIKLETHUN SAID that "no matter how much the ad- ministration would like for us to believe that research takes places in a vacuum, it's always for a purpose. The question we have to ask is why is the research being done, not 'will it have beneficial aspects other than its main purpose.' " "What it boils down to," Aronoff said, "is how much you trust the people the research is being done for. Having seen the kind of decisions they make, I don't trust them."

Fishy ARWIN WEBER eats smelts only once a year, but when may have been out of practice, because of the cancellation of last year's contest. "I only eat them once a year, so it might have made a difference," he said. Still, the 37-year- old resident of nearby Longview left competitors green around the gills. At one point, he cast a sidelong glance at one of his five competitors who tried to hook him into at- tempting the world record of 160 smelt.

The electronic bracelets work by giving off a signal to a monitor attached to the person's phone. Those signals in turn are sent to a computer at the correc- tions division. Officials said the program will be evaluated for possible use statewide. Tuthill said he anticipated the bracelets would be assigned for a period ranging from 24 l i I i
