Hanukkah candles set
Aice Lloyd room fire

i

By AMY MINDELL
A fire started by holiday candles
caused an hour-long evacuation of the
Alice Lloyd residence hall last night,
according to Ann Arbor Fire Depar-
tment Battallion Chief Ronald Hieber.
The fire, which broke out around
7:30 p.m., was confined to room 5529
in the dorm's Angell House. Hieber
said there was no structural damage
to the building.
Room resident Ron Emanuel lit
candles to celebrate Hanukkah and
left them burning while he went to

study, according to Dan Silmore, an
LSA freshman who lives across the
hall.
Silmore said he assumed that a
false fire alarm was being sounded
until he opened his door and found the
hall filled with smoke.
He said there was considerable
damage to the contents of the room,
which is occupied by Emanuel and his
roommate, Craig Haase.
"The walls and ceiling are black
and the desks are charred," Silmore
said. "All Ron's notes and books are
gone.,,

Judge decries segregation

dual system of higher education; that
in certain aspects, the dual system yet
exists; and that in other respects, the
'root and branches' of the system
have not been destroyed," Clemon
said.
THE RULING resulted from a
lawsuit filed 21!> years ago by the U.S.
Justice Department. Clemon heard
more than a month of testimony
during a trial this summer and
received yard-high mounds of
documents from most universities.
The judge gave Wallace, the
Alabama Commission on Higher
Education and the state Public School
and College Authority until Feb. 14 to
submit a plan based on U.S. Office of
Education criteria for desegregating
the state's system of higher
education.
If the state fails to propose a plan
that satisfies him, then Clemon will
hold a second trial to determine
remedies.
THE STATE could bypass a second
trial if the predominantly white

universities and the governor reach a
settlement with the Justice Depar-
tment and the traditionally black
universities. Talks aimed at settling
the case before Clemon ruled broke
down last month. John Knight, an
Alabama State administrator who led
a group of students, faculty and
alumni who intervened in the federal
court case, said he did not expect a
second round to prove successful.
Auburn President James Martin
declined comment yesterday. "I
haven't seen the ruling yet," Martin
said. "I think it would be inap-
propriate to comment."
The same position was taken by Bill
O'Connor, spokesman for the Univer-
sity of Alabama System; Leon
Howard, president of Alabama State;
and Troy Massey, vice chairman of
the Alabama A&M trustees, all of
whom said they were caught off guard
by Clemon's surprise release of the
ruling on a weekend.

Strawberry fields forever

Fans gather around a mosaic in Central Park's Strawberry Fields, which
was dedicated yesterday by Yoko Ono to commemorate the fifth anniver-
sary of former Beatle John Lennon's death. Ono and Lennon's sons left a
note in Strawberry Fields for fans who came to pay homage to the ex-
Beatle saying, "Thank you for thinking of John."

Student to march for peace in Central America

(Continued from Page 1)
Los Angeles on Friday. Other public
figures lending their support to the
'project include novelist Graham
Greene, actress Julie Christie, andthe
Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Although this isn't Weinsteins's first

peace march, it is his longest. he has
been walking to prepare for the trip,
but he said buses will be available for
most of the route. "(The coor-
dinators) didn't want the focus to be
on how physically fit the people are.
They wanted the focus to be on the

issues themselves."
Last year, Weinstein and four others
walked to Detroit "in solidarity with
the people of Nicaragua" to mark the
fifth anniversary of the Nicaraguan
revolution.
Weinstein heard about the inter-
national peace march last summer
and decided to participate last month.
The march will cost him $1,000, which
includes airfare and $500 in spending
money. Weinstein is covering the ex-
penses himself with the help of

donations from friends.
He added that he is taking ad-
ditional money to give to Central
American refugees "because they
need the money and I don't."
Journeying into war zones will be
dangerous and unpleasant, but Wein-
stein is prepared. "It's not going to be
comfortable in places where there's
fighting, but that's a reality. We're
giving very little compared to what
these people have to give to live," he
said.

IN BRIEF

Opposition to Marcos splits
MANILA, Philippines - A unity bid between Corazon Aquino and
Salvador Laurel fell apart yesterday, dimming opposition prospects for
defeating President Ferdinand Marcos in a Feb. 7 special election.
While Laurel's supporters cheered and fireworks exploded at his
family compound, the former senator blamed Mrs. Aquino for the collap-
se of talks that would have put her at the top of the opposition ticket
against Marcos.
Instead of accepting Mrs. Aquino's offer to run as her vice presidential
candidate on a single ticket, Laurel said he would run on his own for
president.
Laurel, who heads the largest coalition of anti-Marcos forces, said he
refused because Mrs. Aquino - "for undisclosed reasons" - was un-
willing to run as a candidate for his United Nationalist Democratic
Organization, or UNIDO.
Mrs. Aquino said she hoped the opposition would unite behind her and
Laurel and invited him to join in a "wrand coalition" ticket.
But fragmenting of the opposition gives Marcos, at least for now, two
rivals, each with distinct followings, strengthening his chances of keeping
the presidency he has held since 1965.
Guatemala elects president
GUATEMALA CITY - Guatemalans voted yesterday for a civilian
president after more than 30 years of virtually uninterrupted and often
brutal military rule in this Central American country.
By dawn, lines of voters, mostly men, formed in streets littered with the
remains of bonfires and spent fireworks from a festival the night before,
ready to cast their ballots when the polls opened at 7 a.m. (8 a.m. EST).
The runoff election pitted Vinicio Cerezo, 42, a lawyer who is the
slightly left-of-center candidate from the Christian Democratic Party,
and Jorge Carpio, 53, a newspaper publisher viewed as a somewhat right-
of-center candidate from the National Center Union.
They were the top vote-getters in the first election, on Nov. 3, in which
eight candidates ran. No candidate received a clear majority as required
by law.
Pre-election polls gave Cerezo a 2-to-i margin over Carpio, who foun-
ded his own political party two years ago. In the November election,
Cerezo received 28.6 percent of the vote, and Carpio got 20.2 percent.
AMA may urge AIDS tests
for couples getting married
WASHINGTON - Couples should be tested for exposure to the deadly
AIDS virus before being granted marriage licenses, says a resolution
scheduled for consideration this week by American Medical Association
policymakers.
The resolution, one of several on the disease, was included in a thick
book of proposals distributed yesterday to 361 members of the AMA's
House of Delegates, who will be voting on them tomorrow and Wed-
nesday.
The AIDS resolution says, "Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
has in the last few years become a hazard to our American society; the
American public has become very aware of this hazardous physical
illness and ... the disease of AIDS is rapidly becoming a threat to the
health of all the American people."
Most states already require some premarital tests before issuing
marriage licenses.
Pope closes Vatican synod
VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II, declaring that the Roman
Catholic Church "truly desires to be the church in the modern world,"
closed yesterday an extraordinary synod of bishops called to assess the
Second Vatican Council.
In a Mass he concelebrated with synod participants and other prelates
in St. Peter's Basilica, the pontiff stressed that the church should also be
like the early church of the Apostles.
"At the end of the second millennium after Christ, the church earnestly
desires only one thing: to be the same church that was born of the Holy
Spirit," he said in his homily, delivered in Italian.
The 65-year-old pope, who attended nearly every session of the two-week
assembly of 165 bishops, appeared tired and his voice hoarse. He said the
synod accomplished the goal it set out to achieve - "celebrate, verify,
and promote the council."
"As we come out of the synod, we wish to intensify our pastoral efforts
to ensure that the Second Vatican Council is more widely and more
thoroughly known," he said.
OPEC moves toward price war
GENEVA - OPEC oil ministers, unable to resolve their feud over fixed
pricing and output controls, moved yesterday toward a full price war
with non-member countries.
Saudi Oil Minister Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani said the price of oil could
fall to $20 a barrel from the present levels of $25 to $29, depending on
quality, if OPEC members start an all-out price war.
At the year-end meeting of the 13-member Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries, the ministers ruled out any agreement on a new

pricing strategy. The conference, the seventh in 12 months, began Satur-
day and was expected to end by today.
The ministers met again in private yesterday night in the suite of
Yamani.
OPEC presently controls about one-third of the free world market, as
opposed to a two-thirds share in its heyday in the late 1970s.
Before the session, ministers told reporters the central issue under
discussion was the protection of OPEC's remaining share of world
markets.
