Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Saturday, April 20, 1985 n Inquiring Photographer by Dan Habib "How do you feel about the Green Bicycle Project?" IN BRIE F Compiled from Associated Press and Carol Lowry, LSA sophomore:k"It's a good idea, and it'll work if people are honest enough. I would definitely use it if they are left in convenient spots." Jody Schwartz, Art freshman: "I don't think it'll work. They'll slowly disappear. The weather will damage them and they'll get stolen. I'm at the art school all the time, so I don't need it. It's not that good of an idea." Andy Samosiuk, Ar- chitecture junior: "It's a good idea. There's a lot of people around who don't have bikes. If it does work, it'll be like a one-way bus system." Guy Willey, LSA sophomore: "I thought it was a joke at fir- st. I saw the stickers and thought it was funny. Then someone told me that they were real and you were sup- posed to ride them. It has a possibility of working; it depends on whether people take it seriously or not. There are many times I could've used one." Bill McClelland, SNR senior: "I think it's a great idea. I've heard of other places where it works, but I don't have a lot of confidence that people will follow the rules. I've already seen people take them home overnight. I used one already from the UGLI to Tice's. It was a shitty bike, but it rode. i Angus Jeang, Engineering Grad student: "It may work. Sometimes, in an emergency, it could be very useful. Also it's very hard to find parking, so cars are inconvenient." Omar Davidson, Art fresh- man: "I think it's cool and it's going to work. I'm going to use them." Erika Ayala, Art freshman: "I think it's a good idea. I don't think anyone will steal them, especially since they're green. It's great because you don't have to worry about maintaining it or locking it, so there's no responsibility." Renee Greigorian, Art senior: "I think it's a wonderful idea, but perhaps idealistic. There are a lot of dishonest people who will see a bike there and they'll take it home, paint it a different color and add it to their own personal property." Julie Gendich, LSA freshman: "I don't think it will work. They'll probably get stolen. I walk everywhere, so I don't need it. I think it's a little naive. I don't see why we need them; if someone wants a bike, they can bring their own." United Press international reports Midland nuclear power plant still salvageable, says Bechtel LANSING-The Bechtel Power Corp., the prime contractor on Consumers Power Co.'s defunct Midland nuclear plant, said yesterday the project should be conpleted as either a nuclear or coal-fired facility. However, officials were vague about how a resumption of work would be financed, and Public Service Commission Chief of Staff Roger Fischer later said Consumers itself should have nothing to do with any new work at the plant. During an appearance before a special house committee studying the financially struggling Consumers, a Bechtel vice president, William Henry, said completing the Midland Project "should not be dismissed entirely or mandated away." Henry said the impediments to finishing it as a nuclear plant "can be overcome if it is the will of the utility, the regulators, the governmental sec- tor and an informed public." Botha calls for end to violence JOHANNESBURG, South -Africa-President P.W. Botha asked the op- position yesterday to join in negotiating with blacks for an end to the racial violence that has claimed more than 300 lives since August. "I am pleading for a national team effort," he said. Extra police patrolled a white area whre Erasmus Jacobs, 19, was repor- ted doused with kerosene and set afire by blacks Thursday night. Jacobs, an unemployed auto mechanic, was hospitalized with severe burns over 90 per- cent of his body. A police spokesman reported no serious violence yesterday but said there were some brief clashes with blacks in the huge Soweto ghetto outside Johannesburg. He would not let his name be used, in keeping with a new policy of the white-minority government. The spokesman said police searched the black township of Langa for suspects in the burning. The township, outside the town of Uitenhage near Port Elizabeth, lies next to the white neighborhood and is the site of a police shooting March 21 in which 20 blacks were killed. A government inquiry into the March shooting heard testimony yesterday that as many as 43 people may have been killed. On Thursday, autopsy reports on 20 victims were submitted to the commission. Before that, police had said 19 blacks died. Hart forms 'new ideas' think tank WASHINGTON-Sen. Gary Hart, who campaigned for president last year as the candidate of new ideas, is forming an issues-oriented think tank that could reinforce that image in advance of the 1988 campaign. Many people who supported the Colorado Democrat's 1984 presidental campaign are being asked to contribute $25,000 each and become founders of the Center for New Democracy. Former Rep. Martha Keys of Kansas will be executive director of the cen- ter and she said Hart would be chairman of the board. She said the center would operate on an annual budget of around $350,000. Formal announ- cement of its establishment will occur next month. While the center undoubtedly will reinforce Hart's image as a politician trying to lead the nation to new solutions for probelms, Keys emphasized that it will not function as a political committee for him. "It certainly will be of benefit to him," she said, but its research and seminars will be open to everyone. Landing damages space shuttle CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla-Discovery's hard-luck journey ended Friday with a thumping touchdown, a blown tire, damage to the ship, a less-than- steady Sen. Jake Garn and a satellite drifting in useless orbit, but NASA termed the flight "truly a remarkable mission." When the shuttle's crew stepped down the boarding ramp, Garn gripped the side railing and was helped to a van by a NASA official. Less than four horus later, however, Garn danced a little jig for photographers and said he felt "Great. Great." "After being in zero-G weighlessness for seven days, all this weight is a lit- tle big heavy," Garn said, kicking up his heels. "But it's all back. See?" "I've never had a more fantastic experience," said Garn as he and the other crew member left Florida on a plane for Houston. He said that as he watched two other crewmen walking in space Tuesday "I had to turn and say, 'Is this really happening? Am I seeing this?'-even though I was there, on the spot." USSR builds new spy base outside Nicaraguan capital WASHINGTON-A new administration report says military installations being constructed in Nicaragua would enable the Soviet Union to significan- tly expand its intelligence-gathering activities in the Western Hemisphere. According to the report, a new airfield under construction at Punta Huete outside Managua would permit Soviet reconnaissance planes to fly missions along the U.S. Pacific Coast just as they now operate along the Atlantic Coast form bases in Cuba. The report was prepared by the State and Defense departments. Its release was timed to have an impact on the congressional debate over the administration's bid for a resumption of assistance to Nicaraguan resistan- ce fighters. House and Senate votes are expected next week. According to the report, titled "The Sandinista Military Buildup," Nicaragua has given high priority to completing the facility at Punta Huete. 01e £hidnbg- nDa 1g Vol. XVC -- No. 160 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.

They gave the case to the Ann Arbor Police Department for in- vestigation, THE POLICE then gave the case to the city prosecutor's office. Marlyn Eisenbraun, an assistant city prosecutor, initially decided not to press criminal charges on the basis of the board's original decision. But then the board discovered its plan to switch from civil to criminal prosec- ution was illegal. Eisenbraun reopened the case, and decided to prosecute, but she would not say why the office changed its mind. Whether or not the board will recover the embezzled money is uncertain, said Scott Siler, treasurer of the Board. He added that it depends on the judge's decision at the time of the trial. Commenting on the incident, Jarvis Tou, former BOG governor, said "it was kept very quiet in Bursley...a lot of people still don't know about it. I think Bursley should tell everyone what hap- pened." (l~urcb Rlorsli t 'ruiceo 'U' cuts med. tech, program FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 120 S.

Most of the six instructors affected by the termination also work for Univer- sity Hospitals, according to Gluck. MEDICAL technologists are in charge of diagnostic testing of blood, urine, and other body fluids. These tasks are being replaced increasingly with automation. Indeed, one of the reasons for the termination was that "the future of the entire profession ap- pears to be in jeopardy," according to the regents' resolution. Gluck acknowledged that there may soon be a lower demand for medical technologists, but said the high quality of the program justifies its existence. "In one sense, the job market is dim," she said, "but we have never had a student who hasn't found a job." The resolution to discontinue the program acknowledged its high quality, but said "it is not a core unit of this University." Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said he regrets having to cut the program. "It's not easy to discontinue a high quality program," he said. He ad- ded, however, that "we can't continue to be everything to everybody" given the University's tight budget. Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey) said he hopes the 10 freshmen in- terested in the program can be accom- modated. "When it (the issue) comes back next month, I hope the answer is not, 'There's nothing we can do,' " he said. Protest to grow in Calif. * * * * * * CANTERBURY HOUSE EPISCOPAL CAMPUS MINISTRY 218 N.

UNIVERSITY administrators, off work because of spring break, were unavailable for comment. And though most of the campus population had left for the break, a cr- owd of 150 which included townspeople and high school students as well as university students, slept out on the steps of Sproul Hall, the admistration building, Thursday night. All but one of the 159 protesters arrested in the last week at Berkeley have been released on their own recognizance. Ethan Willard, a 23-year- old Berkeley resident, remains in jail because he refused to . sign an agreement to "be of good conduct and obey all laws until the court precedings." WILLARD objected to the agreement "on moral grounds," said Marcel Cote, protesters. Willard is conducting a hunger strike in his jail cell, though he has not made his demands public. Ann Deleon, who heads a team of lawyers representing the protesters, assumes Willard's demands are the same as five other protesters who are fasting. Those five others say they will con- tinue to starve themselves until the university administration either holds a public hearing to give students input in- to a treasurer's report to be submitted to the regents on May 16; that the regents discuss divestment at their May meeting; and that the charges against the protesters be dropped. But one of the five protesters has gone beyond those demands to also ask that the United Nations suspend representation in its assembly to all countries that conduct business in South Africa. That hunger striker, Oliver Nicholson, "tends to be a little rhetorical," Cote said. 802 MONROE ANN ARBOR, MI 48104 NEXT WEEK of GUILD HOUSE MONDAY, APRIL 22: POETRY READING CHERRY CONRAD Editor in Chie..................NEIL CHASE Opinion Page Editors...........
