6 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 11 RHA passe By JERRY MARKON The Residence Halls Association last night ap- proved a modified version of a committee proposal for mandatory fines for vandalism in dormitories, despite opposition from some group members and housing officials. The proposal, which was originally drafted by LSA sophomore James Marchant, also calls for a system of rewards to persons who provide information leading to the arrest of vandals. IN HIS REVISED proposal, Marchant added the qualifying phrase that the RHA "wished to make it known that this proposal is merely a prototype of a system we would like to see eventually enacted." The final proposal also asked the housing division - which will review the entire package - to establish K s monetary a committee with RHA to study the problem of van- U dalim in dorms. d Marchant said "it's time to start addressing the problem of vandalism in dormitories and stopping be it." He called the proposal "a plea for action to u housing."h BUT HOUSING Program Director Marvin Parnes, p who was present at the RHA meeting, said he is "per- sonally opposed to the issue of fines." "There's little problem with a system of rewards, tr but fines are another matter. It's my concern that f RHA doesn't propose a system that's not legally en- P forceable," Parnes said.I Outgoing RHA President Mark Hegadus said he is of "uncomfortable suggesting fines without some form a1 of determining guilt. It doesn't seem fair to me." it? HEGADUS proposed that RHA begin working with wi proposal niversity Council and other legal organizations to etermine the legality of the fine system. LSA freshman Lewis Smith, another RHA. mem- er, said he "didn't think it's really appropriate for s to include our own system of fines." He added that e thought RHA should work with housing before im- osing such a system. "We must aproach the issue of fines with ex- eme caution," said Will Halverson, chairman of the fire alarm committee" which submitted the roposal to the entire RHA. LSA freshman Mike Ross summarized the attitude many RHA members: "Why not start by proposing lot of guidelines to housing, and then let them trim ? Let's continue to worry about the issue and work ith the University Council on the fine business." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports U.S. supports Sudanese rulers KHARTOUM, Sudan-The United States, in its first concrete show of sup-. port for Sudan's new military rulers, offered a $40 million grant to help ease critical fuel shortages on the African nation, the Sudan News Agency said Wednesday. The report came as the Sudan's military junta began its first full working, day with a meeting on the mechanics of an eventual return to civilian rule. In Tripoli Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy declared yesterday that. "Sudan is ours" and warned President Reagan against US. interference ii the north African nation or "his nose will be cut." In a clear reference to the United States, Khadafy also warned that if out-, side powers interfered in internal Arab affairs, "We will have to carry the battle to the very heartland of those who are interfering." The U.S. aid offer came as rebel leader John Garang threatened to cut off oil and water supplies from mainly Christian southern Sudan unless the jun- ta resigns within seven days and returns power to a civilian administration. Bursley constitution change aimed to fight apathy (Continued from Page 1) unofficial vote in early February in which the Board decided, eight to two, not to press criminal charges against former vice president Rick Blalock. He is accused of embezzling almost $2,500 from the dorm's funds. At the time of Ann Arbor Civic Theatre "BELLS ARE RINGING" * Directed by Jim Pasante }.

Blalock is also a member of the Family. Roger Fisher, a BOG governor, said the charge was "unfair and unwarran- ted. I voted on behalf of BOG as a BOG official - at a BOG meeting, we are all BOG members." GOVERNOR Joyce Taylor agreed, saying "the decision reached by the Board had nothing to do with the Family." Nina Riley, secretary of the Board, said she voted not to prosecute because she thought the Family would be con- nected with Blalock and "me per- sonally" and "I didn't need the bad publicity." However, the Board later voted to ask the city's assistant prosecutor to press criminal charges against Blalock in an 11 to 0 decision. The Board decided to re-vote on the basis of new information. The Board found that it would be difficult to get the dorm's money back if they tried to press civil charges against Blalock. "It is mainly due to the apathy that one group has been able to sit in and get a lot of control, said Bursley resident Matthew DeDona, a junior in electrical engineering.

Phone 764-0558 Gorbachev meets U.S. delegates MOSCOW-Mikhail Gorbachev spent nearly four hours with an American congressional delegation yesterday, twice the usual time allotted, and said it was time U.S.-Soviet relations emerged from a dangerous "ice age." The time has come for talking the Soviet leader said, and one of the*4 Americans predicted he would be a "very formidable adversary" in a sum- mit with President Reagan. Members of the first U.S. delegation to meet Gorbachev since the funeral of Constantin Chernenko, whom he replaced March 11, said they brought the: new leader a letter from Reagan. They would not discuss its contents. The Congressmen said Gorbachev reaffirmed his'interest in a summit, but did not say when it might be possible. On Sunday, Gorbachev said the Soviet Union was freezing deployment of medium range nuclear missiles in Europe until November. The White House said that was public relations. 1U s may double infertility rsk BOSTON-Using an intrauterine device for birth control seems to double° the risk of infertility, and 88,000 U.S. couples may be unable to have children. because of damage from IUDs, new research finds. The authors of two major studies being published today recommend that women who have never had children should not have these devices inserted but should choose some other form of contraception. The two reports agreed that plastic IUDs are the most dangerous, while the more widely used copper-covered IUDs are less likely to cause infer- tility. One study found that the copper devises were linked with a somewhat higher risk, while the other could find no significant increase. t Earlier studies have shown that women who use IUDs face a higher than usual risk of pelvic inflammatory disease. This infection can damage the Fallopian tubes and cause infertility. The new studies, however, are the first to show a direct link between IUDs and infertility. Dr. Daniel Cramer of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston added, however, "This does not mean that infertility will be caused in all women who use IUDs. It certainly does not mean that all tubal infertility is caused by the IUD." Iraq threatens Iran with use of new hihl develope' weapons IRAQ yesterday threatened to use "new highly developed" weapons to repel any new Iranian offensive in tfie 41,:-year-old Persian Gulf war as Iran repeated charges that the Iraqis are using chemical weapons and vowed to "show them our power." An Iraqi military spokesman said Iraqi warplanes carried out missions against Iranian military positions on the southern battle front yesterday as Iranian artillery bombarded the southern Iraqi port of Basra. Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency said Iraq used "toxic chemicals"- delivered by rocket and artillery shells-against Iranian for- ces on the southern front for the third straight day. Cambodia rebel awaits U.S. aid WASHINGTON-The leader of a non-communist Cambodian rebel group, after meeting with Secretary of State George Shultz, said yesterday he is very optimistic about receiving an increase in U.S. asistance. Son Sann, a former prime minister, gave no details of the meeting. But earlier, State Department deputy spokesman Edward Djerejian in- dicated that any aid increase to the rebels would be limited to economic assistance for the time being. Djerejian said the administration is convinced the resistance forces do not need U.S. weapons now "but we do not think it is wise to forgo having flexibility on this point should circumstances change." In addition to Son Sann, head of the Khmer People's National Liberation Front, Shultz met with Prince Norodom Ranariddh, supreme commander of the Sihanoukist National Army and son of former Cambodian head of state Prince Norodom Sihanouk. Son Sann told reporters Shultz had not promised him all he had asked for but that he was nonetheless pleased. "You can't have 100 percent of what what you want. If you have 60 or 70 percent of what you wish, that's a good thing.. . I am very optimistic," Sann said, adding that he was unable to give details about his request because that would provide valuable information to Vietnamese forces which are oc- cupying Cambodia.
