State rep. to introduce (Continued from Page 1) Heyman ruled out a statewide elec- tion of student-regents as "ridiculous," saying the voters would still be unfamiliar with the can- didates. Reaction among University regents was mixed. "I don't think it would make much of a difference," if students are elected to the board, said Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey). Brown, however, said he opposed the appointment of regents by the Gover- nor because it would jeopardize the University's ability to govern itself. Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar- bor) was more adamantly opposed. "I see no reason to change our current systeh in the state."

African govt. to propose landowning rights for. blacks JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The government said yesterday it will propose next year that blacks be allowed to own land for the first time in 72 years, but the laws will not lift restrictions on where they can live. A prominent white critic of the government's racial policies said the announcement was "important to black people in an emotional way" but was "not a dismatling of apartheid." National police headquarters in Pretoria said officers shot a black man dead in a a battle with stone throwers in the black Crossroads squatter camp outside Cape Town and fought black rioters in five other Cape Province townships late Tuesday and early yesterday. A statement said nine blacks were wounded and 31 arrested later yesterday when police quelled six outbreaks of arson and three of stone- throwing, mostly in Cape Province. About 900 people have been killed, nearly all of them black, in 15 mon- ths of violence against apartheid, the official policy that reserves privilege for South Africa's 5 million whites and denies rights to the 24 million blacks. Kennedy announces candidacyk BOSTON - Joseph Kennedy II, ready for a "long, hard battle," an- nounced yesterday he will run in 1986 to replace retiring speaker Thomas O'Neill in the House seat that was the first rung of John Kennedy's ladder to the presidency. Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, told a packed news con- ference that government should be used as a "catalyst" to provide affor- dable housing, energy, and health care. Kennedy gained attention during the oil shortage years by founding Citizens Energy Corp., a non-profit company that supplies low-cost fuel oil to poor families. "The old way of government of simply taxing and spending, taxing and spending is no longer valid," said Kennedy. Vietnam returns U.S. dead HANOI, Vietnam - Vietnam yesterday turned over to U.S. officials human remains believed to be those of seven American servicemen listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War. Vietnamese officials delivered the remains three days after completion of an unprecedented joint excavation at the spot where an American B-52 crashed during a bombing raid over what then was North Vietnam. In a short, simple airport ceremony, the Vietnamese also handed over to the U.S. military delegation "material evidence" of 14 other American servicemen, including identification tags. Officials on both sides said they hoped the excavation and return of remains marked the beginning of much greater cooperation in accoun- ting for the 1,797 Americans still listed as missing in action in Vietnam. Ngo Hoang, a Foreign Ministry official, said the remains in the seven crates were found around Hanoi and the nearby port of Haiphong, which were prime targets of an intense U.S. bombing campaign in December 1972. At least 27 American planes were shot down and 93 airmen were killed, captured or reported missing. U.S. says Israeli spy data dealt with Arab technology WASHINGTON - The classified military documents Israel allegedly ob- tained from accused spy Jonathan Jay Pollard dealt with moderate Arab governments and included information about their radar-jamming techniques and other electronic data, an informed U.S. official said yesterday. The documents dealt with Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, and other "friendly" Arab governments, detailing their military capabilities as well as their methods of countering terrorism, the official said. While U.S. counterintelligence informaton on Libya and other radical regimes is shared with Israel under the strategic cooperation and other agreements, U.S. assistance to Arab countries considered friendly to the United States generally is withheld, the official said. Israel thus was able to obtain data not available through normal U.S. channels, said the official, who insisted on anonymity. "An Israeli source here said, meanwhile, "no one was spying on the United States. If there was anything it was to gather information on others." 'Pro-Bush' poll angers rivals WASHINGTON - A Republican Party poll that included questions about Vice President George Bush's presidential prospects was drawing howls of protest yesterday from his potential rivals who saw the survey as a tilt toward Bush in the 1988 race. There also was a question whether Bush's political action committee would violate federal election laws if it paid part of the cost of the poll. Aides to Bush's rivals were contending the vice president's political ac- tion committee would violate federal law if it paid more than $5,000 toward the cost of the survey. A Bush adviser said that was an incorrect interpretation of the law. Frank Fahrenkopf chairman of the Republican National Committee, said he got an angry call from Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, who demanded, "What the hell is going on?" The chairman said he assured Dole, who has his eye on the 1988 presidential nomination, that the party would be "candidate neutral" in the race. Dole told Fahrenkopf the survey was "paid for and commissioned by the Republican National Committee to Make George Bush President of the United States. 01 he StchtpgauDatig Vol XCVI - No. 64 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms.

Along with in- troducing new Coke this year, Coca- Cola came out with its own line of casual wear that imitates Benetton. The clothes range in price from a $30 rugby shirt to a $45 pair of jeans, and every piece bears the soft drink's label. "All of them are almost gone," said Debbie LaBaeu, a sales clerk at Hudson's in Briarwood Mall. "They're so popular because you usually don't see a cola company coming out with clothing." " Calvin Klein's Obsession. By far the most popular perfume among college-aged shoppers, Obsession costs $28.50 per 1.7 ounces in the splash bottle. "It's certainly going to be a classic," said Judy Spaly- Belanger, a make-up consultant. "It's selling so well because of the fragran- ce and not just because of the Calvin Klein name,", she added. "Obsession is not like Georgio, which is only a fad because of its popularity in Beverly Hills." " Swatch Watches. "Swatches," for short, are durable, casual wrist wat- ches with multi-colored plastic bands and different face designs. Elizabeth Reed, a clerk at Lord & Taylor's, said the $36 watches have "taken off so well because of their ads on M-TV... Last week we went through a new shipment of about 10 to 11 watches, which is a lot." " Taped books. Publishing houses have been scrambling to cash in audio cassettes of their books and poetry. The cassettes cost anywhere from $6 to $25 and include best-sellers, "how to" books, children's books, and classics. The classic books include authors such as Emily Bronte and children's classics like The Wind in the Willows. h Grobots.
