Thatcher wins 'emergency' support I--------- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, January 28, 1986 - Page 3 Tutu goes home with money to fight apartheid LONDON (AP) - Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher battled shouts of derision and calls for her resignation yesterday in what the news media called a life-or-death Parliment speech to rally her Conservative Par- ty from the embarrassment of two major Cabinet resignations. Thatcher won solid backing from her Conservatives, including former Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine, whom she blamed for sparking the political crisis. Heseltime had said he was leaving because the prime minister had used unconstitutional means to steer the Cabinet toward favoring an American bid over a European attempt to rescue Britain's failing Westland PLC helicopter com- pany. Thatcher won a technical vote to close the racous, three-hour debate in the House of Commons by 379-219. Her Conservatives have a 143-seat majority in the 650-seat house, but the significance of the action was that nearly all her party members were present and voted together. During the debate, opposition legislators accused her of a cover-up involving a leaked letter, critical of Heseltine, that subsequently led to the resignation of the second Cabinet member, Trade and Industry Secretary Leon Brittan, took respon- sibility for the news leak. Thatcher said in her speech to a racous house that both matters could have been handled better. The opposition erupted in laughter and hoots of derision. DAVID Owen, leader of the centrist Social Democratic Party, told Com- mons Mrs. Thatcher "is not worthy to hold the high office that she does ." Labor Party Leader Neil Kinnock had called yesterday's emergency debate, saying it was to eterrnmu if Mrs. Thatcher was involved in the leaking of the letter and if she had lied in earlier statements to Parliment. "Today the Prime Minister is on trial," Kinnock said in opening the debate. "Now all dishonesty has to stop." THATCHER maintained that for 16 days after Brittan leaked the letter on Jan. 6, she did not know of his in- volvement. She said an inquiriy determined that the letter was leaked to the news media as a result of a misunderstan- ding between officials of the Trade and Industry Department and bureaucrats at her No. 10 Downing St. office. "I did not give my consent to disclosure, "the prime minister told Parliment. "It was not sought. And I have indicated I deeply regret the manner in which it was made." SHE SAID Trade and Industry of- ficials had contacted her office seeking agreement to the disclosure, but her staff beleived they were just being informed, and were not being asked for authorization. "My officials made clear to the inquiry that htey did not seek my agreement. They told the inquiry that they did not believe that they were being asked to give my authority and they did not do so," she said.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Bishop Desmond Tutu said yesterday his just-completed tour of the United States raised nearly $1 million to aid political prisoners, refugees and his Anglican Church diocese. He blasted "servile" segments of the Soth African news media for playing down the tour's success. The Black bishop of Johannesburg also accused South African media of distorting his remarks during the three-week tour to suggest that he support violent revolution rather that peaceful protest. At a news conference in St. Benedict's House, and Anglican priory in the working-class suburb of Rosettenville, Tutu repudiated South African news reports that quoted him as having called on Americans to back the outlawed African National Congress guerrilla movement in its war against the white-led gover- nment. The government said it was "shocked" that the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner would express support for a "terrorist" organization that planted land mines and bombed buildings. Tutu told reporters, "I said a long time ago, I said it in the Supreme Court, that I support the ANC in its ob- jectives - a non-racial, democratic society, - but that I do not agree with its methods. "I have said for so long, it's a jingle almost, that I reject all violence, both by the system and by those who seek to overthrow it." he said. The bishop said the government-run South African Broadcastin Corp. and "kowtowing, servile media" had downplayed the success of his trip. "The sycophants go to extra lengths to try to discredit and vilify us," he said. "It is important for black people in this country to know we were received wonderfully everywhere." TUTU SAID the funds raised by his U.S. tour will be used to pay political defendants' legal fees, aid prisoners' families, give scholarships to refugees and aid his diocese, in debt partly because white support has dwindled since he was appointed bishop last January. Tutu said he pointed out repeatedly that the African National Congree and its rival, the Pan Africanist Congress, originally were committed to non- violence but that the government banned them in 1960 and jailed or exiled their leaders. "The primary violence comes from apartheid and its supporters. We have been peaceful to a fault," Tutu said.

"The great thing about it is that it resulted in the first ever joint publication between physice, chemistry, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering (faculties)," Gamota said. "A LOT of people talk about inter- disciplinary research, but the real proof of success . . . is when faculty jointly publish their results and share graduate students," he added. Prof. Charles Overberger, Director of the Macromolecular Research Cen- ter, agreed with Gamota's assessment. "I think he improved the posture of the IST ... made it much more visible and made it a centrix point for inter- disciplinary research," Overberger said. Prof. Samuel Krimm, chairman of ITS's Biophysics Research Division, said Gamota has "tried to make IST an integral part of the intellectual and scholarly activity of the University and at the same time to reach out to industrial entities in the state of Michigan and support the transfer of technology to the outside com- munity." University Vice President for Research Linda Wilson is currently soliciting nominations for Gamota's replacement, according to Alan Price, associate vice president for research. Although Price speculated that Wilson would not appoint a permanent replacement until the spring, Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye said Wilson may soon appoint an interim ITS director. Wilson could not be reached for comment. Fut 410 N. Fog We guarantee our prices to b4 as low or lower than identical items found elsewhere. OfM1-tp p"h9FP:19Y S nufin at- 1.

Arafat met Jordanian Prime Minister Zaid Fifai yesterday to follow up two meetings the previous day with Hussein, and the source said the "decisive" PLO-Jordanian meetings would continue until Satur- day. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said last month that the Palestine Liberation Organization risked being shut out of the peace process if it did not accept U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which calls for peace- guarantees in return for Israeli with- drawal from land captured in the 1967 Mideast war. The United States, a major figure in any proposed peace conference, refuses to deal with the PLO until it endorses 242 and explicitly accepts Israel's right to exist. The PLO.rejec- ts 242 because it does not mention Palestinian rights to a state. CONSIDERING AN ABORTION? Complete Confidential Information Pregnancy Counseling Center 529 N.
