4 Page 2 -The Michigan Daily - Wedn Spartan Tobacco chewing may be disgusting to some people, but on Michigan State University's campus, interest is on the rise. Chewers and their habit are becoming more popular among MSU students. Doug Cambell, manager of the Cam- bell's Smoke Shop in East Lansing, said he has noticed increased sales of chewing tobacco to students. "We usually sell quite a bit to studen- ts, but in the last couple of years especially we have sold more," Cam- bell said. Julie Allen, manager of another tobac- co shop near the MSU campus, has also Colleges noticed an increase in sales. "I would say there has been a definite increase, especially among students," she said. Dave Mammel, an avid chewer and MSU sophomore, said that he began chewing in high school. A starting pit- cher for the MSU baseball team, Mammel said chewing gives him something to do when not on the field. "Personally, I think it relaxes me and it's sort of a tradition by now for baseball playerstto chew," said Mai- mel. The American Cancer Society, in a esday, March 20, 1985 s fav4 or tobacco pamphlet on the effects of chewing tobacco, said prolonged use may cause white leathery patches to form on the inside of the cheeks, as well as dental problems. - mhe State News Former OSU prof charged with possession of cocaine A former Ohio State University physical education instructor was arrested in what police are calling the second largest drug bust in Columbus history. Jay Will, a karate champion, was found to have 2.2 pounds of cocaine in his possession when police searched his karate studio. Will was a lectirer and karate instructor for OSU in the 1970s. The cocaine, which was 90 percent pure, has a street value of about $800,000, according to detective Mike Pagnanelli. He added that more than $124,000 was also confiscated. Will is being charged with narcotics possession with intent to distribute. His bond has been set at $75,000. After teaching karate at OSU, Will opened his own studio near campus. He quickly grew tired of the constant pressure of the business world and decided to "spar with students." Will's accredited course, although of- fered at 7:30 a.m., was popular and had a waiting list for enrollment each quar- ter. - The Lantern Mich. Tech. Univ. raises graduation requirements Tougher graduation requirements will meet freshmen next fall at Michigan Technological University. All undergraduates, will be required to complete 64 credits spread over six course groupings-communications, quantitative knowledge, humanities, social science, physical education, and upper level studies outside of the student's major. The University of Michigan currently requires nine credits each in three areas - humanities, natural, and social sciences. Presently at Michigan Tech, un- dergrads are required to complete at least 15 credits of approved humanities, social sciences or business ad- ministration electives. Business Ad- ministration students are required to complete nine hours of work in the humanities or social sciences. The stricter requirement was ap- proved by the University's Faculty Senate and president following a four- year study by the University's General Education Committee. Complaints of homo- sexual solicitation close NU library restrooms M en who have to use the restroom in Deering Tower of Northwestern University's library will be temporarily disappointed. The library closed the men's room because of homosexual' hewing soliciations of males using the facility, library officials said., "After complaints from staff, faculty and students about misuse of the men's room , we decided to close the restroom for other than staff use," said Lance Query, director of library research, analysis and personnel. Query said the "problem" has been going on for some time, and the closing is designed to discourage that sort of activity. He said he didn't know if the harassment would move to other restrooms in the library. Todd Cmi, a sophomore, said a student "made moves on him" in the men's room last spring. Cini was in a stall when a note was passed under the door. Cini said the note said, "If you're in- terested, you can meet me by the mirror." When he left the stall, Cini noticed a man peering at him from one of the stalls. Cini said he has never used that men's room since. Andy Thayer, former president of NU's Gay and Lesbian Alliance, said the men's room had functioned as a "tea room," or a meeting place for gays. He also said he had heard about other such locations oncampus, -but refused to disclose the information. "If one place is closed down people will go to other places," Thayer said.

JOHN HEIDKE the University's assistant director of housing education, said earlier that the housing division wholeheartedly supports vigorous prosecution of individuals who are found to be suspected of theft in office.'' Several members of Bursley's student governing board who wished to remain anonymous agreed with Gould that apathy has caused BOG to be inef- fective in dealing with Blalock's case. They also said they thought the student board is not representative of dorm residents' opinions and that a minority group in Bursley known as the Bursley Family, has been able to dominate the board. At the Feb. 2 vote, seven out of the 10 students voting were members of the Bursley Family, said Treasurer Siler. Currently, five of the seven governors (one is being replaced) and one out of the four officers are Bursley Family members. According to an anonymous BOG RESEARCH ..

"A lot of people in Bursley don't even know what BOG is," the member said. "The BOG is closely associated with the Bursley Family and as such can be expected to protect its own," he charged. "I hate to see this as a racial thing, but then I hate to see this dismissed because it has the potential of being a racial issue. We can be just as racist if we dismiss this." Key witness test ifies (Continued from Page 1) she nor Picozzi smoked but that he did own a ciagarette lighter. Hearing Counsel Robert Guenzel also heard from the defense's second fire expert, fire investigator Thomas Nolan of Mt. Clemens. He testified that Picoz- zi could not have set the fire. Another fire expert was called by the defense yesterday and also testified that the ac- cused could not possible have set the fire. "I think (Picozzi) had two professional witnesses on the stand who were paid to testify the way he wanted them to," charged Davis after yester- day's proceeding. "I think they were advocates rather than experts and their testimony was worthless." Defense Attorney Alan Sibler respon- ded to the charge: "I think all three witnesses, including (the prosecutions's) expert, gave their opinions the best wvay they could, and supported that with empirical eviden- ce, 'and were subject to cross examination." Sibler called Davis's remarks "inap- propriate" and "sour grapes." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Supreme Court upholds policy on draft registration resisters WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court yesterday upheld 7-2 the gover- nment's policy of prosecuting only outspoken resisters of draft registration, rejecting pleas that such enforcement punishes those excercising free speech rights. This is the third time since President Jimmy Carter, responding to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, revived draft regestration in 1980 that the nation's highest court has adopted the government's policy regarding con- scription. In 1981, the justices ruled women could be excluded from the pool of names for quick call-up in event of war, and last July, held that students may be required to sign up for conscription if they want federal college aid. Iranian army shells Baghdad Iran claimed it hit a Baghdad neighborhood with a ground-to-ground missile yesterday and witnesses said the explosion killed 14 people and demolished four houses. Iraq, meanwhile, said its warplanes struck five Iranian cities. Hundreds of foreigners left Tehran on special flights hours before the Iraqi deadline for safe passage through Iranian airspace. The Baghdad gover- nment threatened to shoot down commercial airliners over Iran starting yesterday afternoon. The West German national airline Lufthansa flew 357 Europeans out of Baghdad yesterday and Turkish Airlines evacuated 200 Turks. A government spokesman in Tokyo said some of the 600 Japanese residents already had left. Prime Minister Hussein Musavi of Iran called the Iraqi threat "insane" and said Iranian missiles would destroy Baghdad's airport if the threat is carried out. Five die in Lebanese fighting SIDON, Lebanon - Lebanese army forces and christian militiamen who joined the revolt against President Amin Gemayel battled yesterday with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and mahine guns in this southern Lebanese city. Police and hospital sources said at least five people were killed, including two soldiers. At least 39 people were reported wounded, including nine soldiers and 30 civilians. Fighting started Monday in Sidon between Shiite and Sunni Moslem militiamen and the Christian Lebanese Forces who have rebelled against the Gemayel leadership. The army moved in to stop the fighting and became involved. The sound of explosions and heavy machine-gun fire could be heard across the city, the provincial capital of South Lebanon. Families could be seen fleeing the Christian-held areas during the shooting. Schools and shops were closed throughout the city. The fighting in Sidon started after Christian militia garrisons in the predominantly Moslem city joined the rebellion led by Lebanese Forces commander Samir Geagea. T.V. scriptwriters settle strike BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Scriptwriters returned to work yesterday and top television shows prepared new episodes after West Coast writers over- wheliningly approved an $84 million, three-year contract with producers. Union leaders accepted the vote, but not all were pleased. { "Am I happy? No, I'm not happy," Writers Guild president Ernest Leh- man said after announcing the contract vote. The contract was ratified by 71.6 percent of the 2,897 writers who voted Monday night at the Hollywood Palladium. The vote was 2,075 to 822 in favor of the pact offered by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. "The membership has spoken. We posed the possibility of a six-month strike, and they simply said 'no,' "Lehman said. "We believe the settlement is good for the industry, and even more impor- tantly, good for our relationship with the guild," said producers' association president Nicholas Counter. Writers reported back to work yesterday on such shows as "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" and "Late Night with David Letterman." Writers accepted a producers' offer to withdraw from arbitration on the key issue of videocassette sales percentages, in exchange for a contribution from producers of $1.25 million into the guild's'health and benefit fund over the life of the contract. Six-year-old boy saves mom BETHEL, Okla, - A six-year-old boy, bluffing with an unloaded rifle, scared off a man holding a knife to his mother's throat, saving her life and probably averting a masacre of the family, a sheriff said yesterday. "He's something else, isn't he?" said. Sheriff Paul Abel after Jimmy Roland confronted the man in the yard of the family's central Oklahoma home. "The little boy ran a bluff," the sheriff said. "This is what just blew my mind. He knew the rifle wasn't loaded." Abel said the suspects, Arlen Alexander, 29, and Joshua Baldwin, 19, both of Norman, were arrested within 15 minutes near Bethel. A third man, Douglas Humphreys, 19, also of Norman, was arrested when he went to the jail in Shawnee to check on the other two suspects. All were jailed on complaints of assault with a deadly weapon and con- siracy to commit burglary. NOT ENOUGH ROOM I N YOUR TRUNK?

While Kirsten ran inside the store to find her mother, Sean attempted un- successfully to put out the flames. He then got Todd out of the vehicle and ran to get an extinguisher, but by the time he returned - less than a minute later - the entire van was afire. Firefighters arrived at about 4:20 p.m. and quickly brought the fire un- der control, according to Captain Charles Torrey. The entire van, however, was gutted four minutes af- ter the fire began, he said. Fire inspectors Ron Baker and Ed Soper said the cause of the fire is probably faulty wiring, which may have been installed by the van's previous owner. The Thuesons pur- chased the van used last October.
