4 Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 13, 1986 Inquiring By Scott Lituchy Do you feel that the media exploited the deaths in the Challenger ex- plosion? Randy Boehm, Chemistry Grad. Student: No. In this situation it was the entire nation that was mourning. In this particular case, I'd say they didn't go too far. Elizabeth Armstrong, LSA Soph.: Yes. The American media tends to exaggerate and exploit when any event like this takes place. kU J illian Teitelbaum, LSA Fr.: No. The families thanked everyone who sent support. All those people across the world who sent flowers, their greetings and condolences knew about it through the media. Alan Townsend, Grad Library Staff: No. What the media was doing was trying to unify the country. They were exploiting it in the sen- se of trying to bring the country together. Dana Fair, LSA Sr.: Yes. I saw the shuttle blow-up 15 times in 15 minutes. Once would have been more than enough. Tracy Edwards, LSA Jr.: Yes. In a way it's been sen- sationalized. They were ac- ting as if it were something that was a good subject for a show. Brent Adler, Inteflex 4th year: No. They [the astronauts] were doing a mitzvah and we are par- taking in the mourning by the coverage. We should all be allowed to mourn the deaths. Jennifer Liu, LSA Sr.: Yes. There is a point at which discussion should be ended. What can you say but that they died and it was a national tragedy? Harold Cuse, Retired Prof.: Of course they did. You know the media. The media has to see the oppor- tunity to probe just as in- timately as they would be allowed to do. Tom Noyes, LSA Soph.: No. Everybody wanted to know. Like at the funeral service, the cameras were right in their faces again, but it's something that everybody holds in common - a death in the family. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Mine explodes in S. Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - A land mine exploded near the Zimbabwe border yesterday, injuring one person, as the government moved to quell speculation that black nationalist leader Nelson Man- dela's release from prison was imminent. The land mine explosion, which ruptured the eardrum of a white motorist, occurred near the northern border town of Messina, defense of- ficials in Pretoria said. They did not assign blame for the blast. Sources close to the Mandela family said Winnie Mandela had no definite information on prospects for the release of her husband, who has been in jail since 1962 and is serving a life sentence for sabotage and treason. "His release is not imminent," Information Minister Louis Nel said. Aquino warns Reagan not to support Marcos' proposition MANILA, Philippines - Corazon Aquino warned President Reagan. yesterday against supporting the National Assembly's expected proclamation of President Ferdinand Marcos as winner of last Friday's presidential election. The assembly, dominated by Marcos' New Society Movement party, is to begin official tabulaton of votes this Friday, using what the opposition has said are fraudulent local vote tallies. "I would wonder at the motives of a friend of democracy who chose to conspire with Marcos to cheat the Filipino people of their liberation," said Aquino, who claimed anew that she has already won the presidency. Marcos has declared himself the "probable winner." Reagan asserted at a news conference Tuesday night that the elections were marred by fraud on both sides, but his remark was disputed by several U.S. election observers who said they had seen no evidence of fraud by Aquino's supporters. Aquino took Reagan to task for his statement that the United States would remain neutral and support whatever government is declared the winner - a remark widely interpreted in the Philippines as support for Marcos. Dissident's family to emigrate WASHINGTON - The Soviet Union has "indicated" that the mother of Soviet dissident Anatoly Shcharansky and other family members will be allowed to emigrate to Israel, the State Department said yesterday. Reporters had asked at the department's daily press briefing whether the administration had assurances from the Soviets that Shcharansky's relatives would be allowed to leave. It issued a one-sentence statement that said: "The Soviets have in- dicated they will allow his mother and other family members to emigrate." There was no elaboration. Shcharansky was released Tuesday in an East-West swap of prisoners after serving eight years on charges of treason, espionage and anti- Soviet agitation. Police flatten student shanties during anti-apartheid protests A shanty that stood as a symbol of protest against apartheid has been torn down at Dartmouth College and about 20 students arrested, capping a long and bitter dispute about investments in companies doing business in South Africa. Three cardboard, wood and plastic huts that had been erected by Stan- ford University students in California were flattened during the weekend and campus police were investigating whether the vandalism was politically motivated. Shanties have also been built in WesleyanUniversity in Middletown, Conn., and at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. Students at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., on Tuesday protested a special committee's refusal to recommend that the 1,156- student college divest all its holdings with South African connections. About 75 people, mostly students, attended a teach-in as part of a day- long action urging trustees to sell the stocks. Whitman Students for Social Change had called for a boycott of classes. According to college officials, Whitman owns stock in 16 companies that do business in South Africa. The stocks, with a market value of about $9 million, generate an estimated $375,000 in annual income, college of- ficials said. The shanty torn down at Dartmouth, in Hanover, N.H., was among several put up in November to protest the college's $63 million in invest- ments in companies doing business in South Africa. U.K., France sign tunnel pact CANTERBURY, England - Britain and France signed a "milestone" treaty yesterday for construction of a multi-billion dollar rail tunnel un- der the English Channel linking the two countries by 1993. A British Foreign Office statement said, "The treaty's purpose is to demonstrate the governments' commitment to the project," and to begin addressing some of the practical details such as safety protection. Three weeks ago in Lille in northern France, Thatcher and Mitterand announced a twin-bore railway tunnel scheme as their choice for the fixed link across the channel, which is 21 miles wide at its narrowest point. The project has been budgeted at $3.3 billion in 1985 dollars, but the actual cost is expected to double because of inflation. Other proposals had included a six-lane suspension bridge and a road tunnel. alJIg AhIdigan 1Bailg Vol XCVI -No.95 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms.

A2 markets remove Tylenol capsules By TIM DALY with wire reports Several local markets have pulled Tylenol capsules from their shelves in response to the cyanide poisoning of a New York woman last week. The cyanide was found in the woman's bottle of Tylenol capsules. All Tylenol capsules have been removed from the shelves of the Nor- th Campus Food Mart, said owner Barbara Lugar. "I HAVE decided not to reorder any Tylenol products until the scare is over," Lugar added. Village Corner pulled Tylenol capsules off the shelves, but will con- tinue to sell the tablets, said manager Fred Critch. Last week's poisoning is the second involving the capsules since 1982, when seven people died in Chicago after taking Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. TESTS revealed that the New York capsules contained cyanide which "is not of the same type as the Chicago cyanide," said Food and Drug Ad- ministration spokesman Bill Grigg. The test strengthens the theory that the poisoning was an isolated in- cident, Grigg said. Nonetheless, the Department of Public Health issued a warning ad- vising Michigan residents not to take any Tylenol capsules until the state issues a formal opinion on the safety of the tablets. "For now, people should not buy or consume any form of Tylenol capsules until we're sure it's not a problem in Michigan," said David Wade, a toxicologist at the State Public Health Department. I Trial postponed for 10 CIA protesters By AMY MINDELL Today's scheduled trial for 10 demonstrators, mostly students, who were arrested last October during CIA protests on campus, has been $10000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE SAFE RETURN OF THE CHIKUTO JAPANESE SCROLL WHICH WAS RECENTLY TAKEN FROM FROM THE UM MUSEUM OF ART. Informants may contact the UM Dept. of Public Safety anonymously if desired. CALL (313) 763-3434 postponed until next Thursday. The defendants requested the delay because they and their attorneys needed more preparation time, said Mara Silverman, an RC senior who is among the 10 to be tried. The 10 are charged with hindering and opposing a police officer, a city code violaton. If found guilty, defen- dants could face up to a $100 fine and/or 90 days in jail. The demonstrators were arrested after they were ordered to leave the Student Activities Building, where the CIA was interviewing students, by the director of the Office of Career Plan- ning and Placement. The 10 protesters then went outside, where they were arrested for blocking a police van. The demonstrators said the actions infringed upon their right to protest and to free speech. The 10 staged the "symbolic protest" outside the SAB to oppose these actions, according to Marion Milbauer, an LSA senior and defen- dant in the case. Local Filipinos question election result (Continued from Page 1) junior Percy Herrero, who moved to the U.S. from the Philippines 10 years ago. George Burgos, Ann Arbor representative for Sambayanan, a Detroit-based Filipino group, said that the United States would prefer that Marcos not declare martial law. He said that the U.S. wants a democracy established where the elites would compete for ruling positions. HERRERO said he would like to see the Reagan administration pressure marcos to bring about overall economic reforms and job oppor- tunities for the poor. According to Herrero, the Philip- pine economic climate has declined since Marcos took office in 1965. "Before Marcos was elected, it was three (Philippine) pesos to the dollar. When martial law was declared, it was about six pesos to the dollar. Now, it's about 20 pesos to the dollar," he said. Burgos said that the U.S. ultimately supports Marcos in this election because he is the most supportive of keeping two U.S. military bases on the island. Aquino's support of the bases has fluctuated. Although Burgos said that Filipinos have warm sentiment for Americans, there is simultaneously a growing nationalist sentiment which opposes U.S. intervention into internal Philippine affairs. Norris asked to present case (Continued from Page 1) reprimanded by her University supervisor, Pam Horne, for speaking to the Daily about the Norris issue. BULLARD DENIED that she was told not to speak to the press, but Hor- ne said she had been given these in- structions by Cole, and she had com-, mitted "a case of general miscon- duct" which "may lead to further disciplinary action." Bullard resigned believing Horne's reprimand would be entered into her personnel records, and after Josephson and Cole told Horne they had warned Bullard not to speak to the Daily. 4i11,k4*t (apa c' FUJI RESTAURANT Featuring: Chicken Teriyaki - $ 7.50 Lobster Teriyaki - $11.50 Spring Make your break in a car from National.
