IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports 4 .4 Belgium to deploy missiles Jeannine Granda, LSA sophomore: "I think poor people should have the same privileges as others. There should be an attempt in equality." Jane Grover, LSA senior: "The right to an abortion should not be limited to those who can afford it. To those who, because of moral reasons, want to eliminate the welfare funding for abortion, I would say, 'There are a lot of things in the tax system that I would rather not support, such as the military budget."' Esther Kirshenbaum, Ann Arbor fine artist: "Absolutely. We don't need the unwanted kids. If there could be sub- sidized programs for birth control methods, I would prefer that. But if they don't have the money for abortion, they'll have a child that the state will have to support anyway." Paul Cuadros, LSA sophomore: I think the state should fund it. It's a hard bur- den to have a kid. Having a child is a lifetime respon- sibility. The majority of abor- tions help out poor women whose babies might not be adopted. Those kids just become orphans. It's really a woman's choice and a women's issue." Wayne Stombaugh, Bowling Green University junior and member of U of M Christian Life: "It's a woman's choice and it's a big responsibility to have a child. But where was her responsibility when she conceived the child? I'm against state financed abor- tions. It's definitely a moral issue when you're allowing another to choose a person's right to live." Joe Kitzmillar, Bowling Green University sophomore and member of U of M Christian Life: "It's totally wrong. People like to say it's the women's choice but do they think to ask the baby what it wants to do? That's why I'm against it, because it can't say. It's immoral." Debra Moir, LSA sophomore: "If people can't afford it, the state should pay for it. I'm for abortion, so if one can't pay for it themselves, then the st- ate should have a respon- sibility to fund it." David Juchau, 'Graduate student: "It's been established that women have a right to have an abortion. It's unjust to deny poor women that medical service when those women are provided with other medical needs." Tom O'Donnell, LSA senior: "Women have an absolute right to abortion, however when a woman can't afford it, it denies them this right. While certain people are morally opposed to abortion, they have no right to deny women this right. If the only way that that right can be guaranteed is through funding, then the government has to provide it. Tama Carroll, LSA senior: "It's a good thing the state fun- ds it. If they had to find the money themselves, it would pose more problems-home abortions, for ex- maple-which would be unhealthy for the mother. The thing that worries me the most is that they would have to resort to drastic means to get abortions." GENEVA, Switzerland-U.S.-Soviet arms negotiators, taking a long weekend after only one working session, faced a new obstacle yester- day-deployment of U.S. cruise missiles in Belgium. The decision to deploy U.S.-made NATO cruise missiles on Belgian soil was hailed by the United States and by officials of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization who have questioned Belgium's commitment to the organization in the past five years. Prime Minister Wilfried Martens, addressing Parliament Friday, said: "The allies, in particular those who, like us, are committed to deploy th missiles, believe it not acceptable that Belgium breaks the solidarity tha exists within the alliance." But Moscow yesterday warned that Belgium's decision to deploy 16 U.S: cruise missiles immediately under a 1979 NATO plan raises "additional ob7 stacles" to the new arms talks. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said the decision by the Belgial Cabinet Thursday night "came at a time when on the international horizon, there appeared sparkles of hope for a relaxation of internation4 tension." China congratulates Gorbachev4 PEKING-A simple Chinese message of congratulations to new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev could signal the end of a bitter, 20-year-old feud between the world's two largest Communist parties, officials said yesterday In the first direct party-to-party exchange in nearly two decades, Go bachev, the Soviet Union's new Communist Party general secretary, was oU, fered "hearty congratulations" by his Chinese counterpart, Hu Yao-bang. Hu's message was conveyed by Chinese Vice Premier Li Peng during a Thursday meeting with Gorbachev in Moscow. The official Xinhua News Agency said Gorbachev told the Chinese the two communist rivals should "jointly work to reduce differences." Li told Gor. bachev that China shared his desire for a "major improvement" izt relations. Militias seize Beirut stronghold BEIRUT, Lebanon-Christian militias who demand an end to Syrian in- fluence in the government seized the last Beirut position of Amin Gemayel's loyalists yesterday. Syria said it would not accept mutiny against the embat tled president, and the rebels asked for negotiations. Rebel militiamen fired on Lebanese army units making the first attempt to end the three-day-old uprising. An army spokesman later said troops sup' ported by five armored personnel carriers and heavy jeep-mounted guns moved between the Christian rivals north of Beirut and reopened the coastal highway. The Syrians reiterated their support of President Gemayel, a Maronite Christian, and said they "will not take an uncaring attitude toward these developments." The Syrian government of President Hafez Assad said "Syria wishes to emphasize its support for the Lebanese legitimacy," and described the uprising as "a suspicious move connected with the Israeli enemy." Reagan to work to improve Soviet relationships, says Schultz WASHINGTON-President Reagan, mindful that a unique "moment of op portunity" is at hand, is. prepared to work with the new leadership in the Soviet Union toward a more constructive relationship'"across the board,'' Secretary of State George Schultz said yesterday. Schultz, continuing the administration's conciliatory tone toward Moscow since the installation of Mikhail Gorbachev as the new Soviet leader, said: Reagan is prepared to deal with specific Soviet-American problems and "to achieve concrete results." Based on their 85-minute meeting Wednesday, Schultz said he found Gor- bachev a "very capable, energetic person who is businesslike. When you go to a meeting he seems to be well informed, well prepared. He gets right at the issues in a conversational kind of form." While it appears that Gorbachev is prepared to work at improvin relations in a "constructive vein," Schultz said, it remains to be seen whether anything can be accomplished. Schultz cautioned that the "good faith and hope" of the administration is tempered by a "healthy measure of realism" about the Soviet Union-" realism based on a history which has not always fulfilled our expectations." Few capitalize on farm aid bill WASHINGTON - An administration official said yesterday he is disap- pointed only 61 farmers nationwide have been helped by President Reagan's $650 million program of federal guarantees to help banks restructure farm loans. A weekly Agriculture Department survey showed that only $8.4 million in guarantees have been made. Department officials conceded an earlier figure of $25 million was based on an error in data collection. Frank Naylor, undersecretary of agriculture in charge of farm loans, said many rural banks are sending debt-strapped farmers to the Farmers Home Administration rather than take advantage of the program announced last fall. Through February, a "very high" 40 percent of fall direct loans the agency made were to farmers who turned to the agency for the first time, he said.

"Tuition may be inexcusably high," he said, "but state support is inex- cusably low. It's a hoax to our future to provide low cost, high accesibility, low quality education. I don't want any part of it." Several regents also agreed. "I'd cer- tainly like to see a situation where we don't have to raise tuition," said Regent Nellie Varner (D-Detroit). "Tuition's excessively high:But if adequate fun- ding does not come forth from our state, we can't let our quality erode," she said. "WE MAY be the most expensive public university in the country," said Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) "but we're also probably the best," he said. Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) cautioned that "all this is very, preliminary. But we've had to cut back on services quite a lot, we'll cut back more only if we felt we had to. A modest rise in tuition might be better.'' Frye presented the board with two budget models for the Ann Arbor cam- pus, one with a five percent tuition in- crease, the other with a nine percent in- crease. UNDER FRYE'S figures, a five per- cent increase would leave the Univer- sity with a $4.4 million deficit, a figure that would be unacceptable to the regents, Baker said. But according to Frye, this deficit would probably be larger since building maintenance and instructional equipment are not in- cluded in the expenditure.

"I didn't have a way of getting down there," he said. "I could have rented a car, but it's not worth it." Deron Brod, an engineering sophomore, planned to rent from National Car Rental, but turned down the idea because "it costs $52 to rent from Thursday night to Monday mor- ning."
