Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 19, 1985 Repairs close Siverdome until une PONTIAC, - Pontiac Silverdome of- ficials announced yesterday they will take down remaining roof panels to put up an entire new covering, which won't be ready until mid-June. That means all events at the stadium are canceled until the fabric roof is in place, they said. Part of the roof collap- sed during a March 4 snowstorm and other panels gave way during the next several days. The Detroit Pistons immediately an- nounced they would play the remainder of their schedule at Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit, with the exception of one game that has been shifted next door to Cobo Arena, after a rock group refused to play there. James Clarkson, chairman of the Pontiac Silverdome Authority, said at a news conference the few panels not rip- ped out by high winds and heavy snow would be removed soan entire new covering could be installed. The new panles are said to be of a more durable Teflop-coated canvas. No events will be staged, Clarkson said, until the new roof is installed and inflated to allow crews inside the com- plete repairs to damaged concrete and seating to the 80,638-seat facility. Iraqi planes bomb Iranian cities, kill 17 From the Associated Press Iraq said yesterday that its war- planes bombed Tehran and several other Iranian cities, "scoring crushing hits." Both sides claimed victory in the border marshland battle for control of the highway linking Baghdad with the strategic southe Iraqi port of Basra. Witnesses repted a huge explosion in Baghdad,rnear the residence of President Saddam Hussein. The Iranians said it was caused by one of their long-range missiles. Iraqi officials did not comment on the explosion, but have blamed two previous blasts in the capital on bombs placed by saboteurs. THE WAR, now four and a half years old, has intensified sharply in recent weeks. An Iraqi military com- munique monitored in Nicosia, Cyprus, said its jets raided "selected targets" in Tehran, Kashan, and Khorramabad late yesterday afternoon. Com- muniques earlier in the day had repor- ted attacks on Hamadan. Isfahan, Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Arak. The combat communique said Iraqi jets and helicopters flew 361 sorties against "fleeing Iranian troops inside Iranian territory," inflicting "heavy casualties." It said the aircraft retur- ned safely after destroying 19 gunboats, eight anti-aircraft guns, an artillery replacement and four ammunition dumps. The attack was its retaliation for Iraqi air raids on its cities. Baghadad residents said they heard deafening blast and saw bellowing black smoke near the site of the two similar ex- plosions that occurred over the weekend. They reported seeing ambulances rushing to the scene, but said civilian traffic was routed away from the area. Iran warned Iraqis to leave the capital, according to an unidentified senior official in Tehran who was quoted by IRNA, the Iranian news agency. Iraq threatened to shoot down civilian airliners in Iranian airspace beginning today, and many airlines canceled service to both Tehran and Baghdad as a result. Iran said it protested to the International Air Tran- sport Association and the International Civil Aviation Organization.

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Senate conmiittee recommends further MX missile funding WASHINGTON - Amid intensive personal lobbying by President Reagan, the Republican-led Senate Armed Services Committee voted 11-6 yesterday to recommend freeing $1.5 billion to build and install 21 additional MX missiles in underground silos in Wyoming and Nebraska. Committee Chairman Barry Goldwater of Arizona predicted an extremely close vote today when the full Senate decides whether to approve the next stage in Reagan's plan to add a total of 100 MXz to the nation's nuclear ar- senal. Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole (R-Kan.), said "I ani confident" the MX will be approved. Goldwater, who had previously said he would oppose the MX, voted for it yesterday, saying "A vote against it would indicate a defeat for the president; that would be the dangerous thing, not the loss of the missile." Asked why he said early this year that he would abandon the missile, Goldwater said he was attempting to shock the president into mobilizing the pro-MX forces in the Congress. Despite the defeat for MX foes in the com- mittee, they pledged a tough fight on the Senate floor today and again Thur- sday, when a second vote is scheduled. Court throws out PAC limit WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court threw out a key provision of election law yesterday ruling that limits on the amount political action committees may independent spend on presidential campaings violates First Amen- dment guarantees. The 7-2 ruling defeated attempts by the Federal Election Commission and the Democratic Party to uphold a federal electin law provision that places a $1,000 ceiling on independent expenditures for presidential candidates ac- cepting public financing of their campaigns. Violation of the law carried a criminal penalty. The Democrats had sued to stop conservative groups, including the National Conservative Political Action Committee and the Fund for a Con- servative Majority, from spending millions on behalf of President Reagan's re-election efforts. The court refused to rule on the matter before the 1984 campaign ended and the conservative PACs spent a total of $15.2 million. Ohio considers reopening savings and loan associations COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio General Assembly yesterday wrestled with emergency legislation to reopen some of the 70 state-chartered savings and loan associations and protect 500,000 depositors, some of whom had to "borrow money to live." A proposal worked out by the governor, legislators and bank executives was introduced in both houses, but majority Republicans in the Senate raised questions about provisions of the bill. A weary Gov. Richard Celeste met in Cincinnati with community leaders in an attempt to assure them and nervous depositors that his plan would enable the institutions to "open their doors with their dollars fully protected as soon as possible." Celeste closed the state-chartered but privately insured savings and loans Friday and extended that order indefinitely yesterday after a "run" by customers took some $60 million out of the institutions. Feds announce cocaine bust SAN DIEGO - Federal authorities said yesterday they had arrested major kingpins in a cocaine smuggling operation believed to be responsible for 20 percent to 25 percent of the cocaine entering the United States every year. In a morning news conference U.S. Attorney Peter Nunez said 59 people are in custody and nine others were being sought in the investigation, which involved an international cocaine smuggling cartel operating out of Peru and Colombia. The arrests were made on criminal complaints and some indictments handed down in recent days by a federal grand jury, and Nunez said a grand jury on Thursday will hear evidence against about 20 alleged purchasers and users of the narcotic. Nunez said extensive use of wiretaps and other surveillance was made during the 18-month probe. "These people were the highest echelon of the cocaine market in South America and Peru," Nunez said. Capital City Inc. buys ABC NEW YORK - American Broadcasting Co. and Capital Cities Com- munication Inc. said yesterday they would merge in a $3.5 billion deal that allows the much smaller Capital Cities to take control of the network. Under the agreement, ABC stockholders would receive $118 in cash per share for stock that closed last Friday at $74.50. Trading in both ABC and Capital Cities stock was halted on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, and when it resumed after the merger announ- cement, the value of ABC shares shot up to $107. ABC has been rumored as a possible takeover target for months, causing its stock to fluctuate widely. The network has been running third in the ratings this year, and analysts said its stock was trading at much less than the value of its assets - a circumstance that always draws the attention of Icorporate raiders.J Vol. XVC - No. 132 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.

"I NEVER thought I'd win," said Berman. But she did win - and in a big way. During numerous fund-raisers across campus over the last six weeks, studen- ts voted on photographs of the rock-a- likes. They gave Berman more votes for her impersonation than any of the other contestants. She also raised the most money for the Multiple Sclerosis campaign. Winning the second highest number of votes was LSA sophomore Will Carlson, who lip-synced to David Bowie's MTV version of "Blue Jean." He wore calf-length gypsy pants tied with a silver sash; his face was painted black and white and his hair was streaked with white. THIRD PLACE went to Darrel Thompson, an LSA sophomore, and Bill Downey, an LSA junior. The duo per- formed their own version of Phillip Bailey and Phil Collins' "Easy Lover" video. And like the professional enter- tainers, the students performed stage antics while they lip-synced. Similar Rock-a-Like contests are being held at 11 other campuses around the nation. The contests, sponsored by MTV, are raising money to fight multiple sclerosis.

The top three rock-a-like winners from each college will be invited to attend the concert with their friends. At the University of Michigan, more than $8,000 has been raised, excluding the money made from Michigras, which has not yet been counted, ac- cording to Rob Markus, a memberr of the steering committee of M Against MS. "KAREN (Berman) made over $1,000 of that herself," he said. The other 15 contestants were spon- sored by a large organization, such as Greek houses and dormitories. Berman however, raised more than them with only the help of her three roommates and two other friends. "We had private donations, and we made and sold earrings to my high school to raise money for MS," said Berman. As the top fund-raiser, she will get to hold a private party at Rick's American Cafe And, Berman will compete with the winners from the 11 competing cam- puses inan MTV-filmed look-a-like con- test. The final winner will be offered a $4,000 summer internship in New York at MTV. Markus said the University's cam- paign should raise a total of $12,000 for MS, once the receipts from Michigras are tablated. iay face cuts. ficials would have to arrange for appoi- ntments of linguistics faculty into other units on campus, according to Catford. But other instructors in the depar- tment aren't so optimistic about what the report might mean for the future of linguistics education at the University. "They keep saying they're not trying to do any kind of program reduction... I just don't know," said Prof. Kenneth Hill, former chairman of the depar- tment. Hill and the other faculty mem- bers first learned of the report at a special meeting last Friday afternoon. "There are so many details that have to be filled in, it'd be difficult to decide if you're in support of it," said Prof. Donna JoNapoli. 4 I4 11 PUBLIC HEARING on MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY The Executive Officers of the University of Michigan are consider- ing a proposal from the governing faculty and Executive Committee of the Medical School to discontinue the Medical Technology Pro- gram on the Ann Arbor campus.
