Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 23, 1985 a Candy bar adds to 'U' commercialization By CHERYL WISTROM Here's a trivia question that any true Wolverine fan should be able to answer: What do you get my mixing milk chocolate, peanuts, sugar, corn syrup solids, peanut butter, invert sugar, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, cocoa, and vanillin? False teeth? Well, maybe. but when those ingredients are mixed in the right proportions and then packaged in a glossy maize and blue wrapper, the result is the "official Wolverine Bar," a chocolate confection that sports the message "Your purchase contributes to University of Michigan" on its wrapper. THE WOLVERINE Bar is the creation of Rick and George Mannis, biothers who cown University Foods in Ada, Mich. "We developed the bar and the idea about a year ago," said George Man- ni4. "We do about 38 other schools" including Michigan State, Illinois and Michael Palmisano, promotion director for the athletic department, said the royalty fees for licensed products are usually 6% or 7 percent, and most of this fee goes to the athletic scholarship fund. SEVERAL students said they thought the statements on the wrap- per are misleading. "First of all, the athletic depar- tment is not synonymous with the Universityof Michigan, so that's false advertising," said Craig Shere, an LSA sophomore. Despite complaints about the marketing strategy, the verdict was unanimous on the quality of the product: It tastes good. Beth Fouser, an LSA sophomore, said at first that she wouldn't buy the candy bar when she found out that the proceeds go only to the athletic depar- tment, but she changed her mind after tasting one. "It tastes good. I'll buy it," Fouser said. Iowa. None of the buyers, retailers, or distributors of the product who were qustioned knew how the candy bar was "contributing to America's academic and athletic achievemen- ts," as the wrapper says. A representative of the Gifts Processing department at the Univer- sity said, "Well, we don't know anything about 'em." THE MSYTERY was cleared up by talking to Mannis. "I believe in Michigan's case most of the royalty fees go to the athletic department.. they licensed us," he said. All of the 7 percent royalty fee ob- tained from the sale of Wolverine Bars goes to the athletic department, which is in charge of licensing all companies who use the Michigan logo or official colors.

EVANS SAID members of the Latin American Solidarity Committee who have recently protested Bush, the Today Show, and the CIA are "living a double standard because they're limiting the free speech of others, yet they're the first to rant and rave when somebody tries to limit theirs." Some students have complained that they were unable to hear Bush's presentation commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Peace Corps earlier this month because LASC members were shouting down the vice president. LAUGH TRACK presents: Tim Slagle * NO COVER CHARGE * Wednesday, October 23 10:00 p.m. U-Club, Michigan Union Evans said he and the conser- vatives are trying to redefine studen- ts' perceptions of activism. "You don't have to be disruptive or ex- tremely liberal to be an activist," he HE EMPHASIZED that he and Davidson are not officially represen- ting the College Republicans in their opposition to MSA. Instead, Evans and Davidson have formed a "counter-liberal group" called the Committee for State Terrorism." The name is a parody of posters put up around campus by Bush protesters saying the vice president is "wanted for state terrorism.' Yesterday the conservatives distributed a counter-poster which featured pictures of MSA president Paul Josephson, MSA military researcher Ingrid Kock, and graduate student Mark Weisbrot, a member of LASC. THE POSTER accused these students of "engaging in pointless protests, encouraging censorship, and aiding and abetting Marxism." The purpose of the poster - which said in large type that students should defend MSA and LASC - was to "poke a little fun at the opposition," Evans said. Members of MSA, although they have been divided lately over the assembly's political stands, yester- day expressed strong opposition to the sign and any attempt to defund MSA. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Argentine pres. orders arrests BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - President Raul Alfonsin invoked special powers yesterday to order six army officers and six civilians arrested for alleged involvement in a rightist campaign "of violence against democratic institutions." Alfonsin's decree was prompted by bombings, telephone threats and other acts he said were intended to create a feeling of "terror and in- security" in Argentina, which was under military rule until his elected civilian government took office 22 months ago. The arrest order was announced at 12:10 a.m., and another bomb went off in Buenos Aires about five hours later. Police said it damaged a guard post outside the army chief of staff's offices but caused no injuries. In the decree, which ordered the 12 suspects held for 60 days, Alfonsin said, "The existence has been detected of a group of people acting in coordination with a goal of violence against democratic institutions and the people." He invoked powers provided in a section of the constitution that allows the president to declare a state of siege. Doctors rally in Lansing LANSING - In possibly the largest state capital protest since the Viet- nam era, more than 10,000 doctors and their supporters rallied yesterday to seek curbs on medical malpractice suits. "The chaos of the liability system is about to bring a collapse of the en- tire judicial system," said Dr. Richard McMurray, president of the Michigan State Medical Society, prime organizer of the event. Leaders of the event largely supported legislation already approved by the Senate which would place a cap of $250,000 on "pain and suffering awards" on all liability suits, establish a panel of doctors to review medical malpractice claims and provide other protections against huge settlements. Meanwhile, a few blocks away, about 200 self-described victims of medical bungling met in a spare basement of the Lansing Public Library to hear speakers claim the crisis is trumped up by the medical establish- ment and insurance companies. Peres' offer meets opposition TEL AVIV, Israel - Prime Minister Shimon Peres said yesterday he called for negotiations with Jordan because Israel must regain the initiative in the search for peace. Peres' proposals, which came in speech to the United Nations on Mon- day, appeared to offer little new for the Arabs. They were promptly rebuffed by Jordan and criticized at home by Israeli hawks. The call for direct talks on ending the state of war and resolving the Palestinian problem came as Jordan was trying to improve relations with neighboring Syria, a hard-line state that has refused to talk peace until it achieves military parity with Israel. A statement issued Monday, after Jordanian-Syrian talks in Riyadh under Saudi Arabian sponsorship, said Jordan rejected "all partial and unilateral settlements with Israel." A high-ranking official in Amman said this was King Hussein's response to the Peres speech. In his U.N. speech, Peres did not specifically rule out talking with the PLO, but said Israel would not talk with those engaged in acts of terror. Weinberger charges Soviets with SALT II violation WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger charged yesterday the Soviet Union has begun deploying a new mobile nuclear missile in violation of the SALT II accord and said that it provided fresh justification for President Reagan's "Star Wars" program. Weinberger confirmed the deployment of the new SS-25 missile in the course of attacking administration critics who believe "that arms control is a more ethically justifiable course of action than attempting to strengthen deterrence through defensive weapons." "Recent history shows that arms control has hardly been a raving suc- cess," Weinberger told a conference sponsored by the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative Washington think-tank. "Today, I can officially confirm that one of their new ICBMs, the mobile SS-25, is now being deployed and is an unquestionable violation of Soviet assurances given to us under the SALT II accord," he continued. "The SS-25 is road-mobile and can be housed in launcher garages equipped with sliding roofs. This makes it an extremely versatile weapon. The SS-25 violates the SALT II agreement that permits development of only new types of ICBM. Their first new type developed, the SS-X-24, is now being tested." Duarte's daughter may go free SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - The government and leftist guerrillas holding President Jose Napoleon Duarte's kidnapped daughter have reached an agreement to release her, Archbishop Arturo Rivera y Damas said yesterday. The archbishop, who has been negotiating an end to the abduction since last week, refused to give more details. But other sources close to the case said the accord contains the basic elements of a tentative agreement hammered out last week. That deal included the release of 22 political prisoners in exchange for Ines Guadalupe Duarte Duran, 35, daughter of the president, and her companion, Ana Cecilia Villeda. The two women were kidnapped Sept. 10 in front of a private university in the capital. In addition, the sources said, the government agreed to grant safe passage to some 100 wounded guerrillas so they can leave the country for medical attention, in return for the release of 23 mayors the guerrillas have kidnapped. Further details of the deal were not available but sources said it could be carried out by tomorrow. a for more information call 763-1107 S7Iw Sidrigan Bailg Vol XCVI - No. 35 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms.
