RSG elections set voter record Philippif From AP and UPI MANILA, Philippines-Accusations of election fraud and veiled threats to close U.S. military passes descended on President Ferdinand Marcos from Washington yester- day. Corazon Aquino, who claims she won the presidency, spoke of mass revolt. Also yesterday the Senate voted overwhelmingly to condemn the Phillipine elections as a fraud despite a war- ning by Secretary of State George Shultz that the United States should not walk away from its longtime ally. BUT SHULTZ hinted that the Reagan administration would consider withdrawing from Clark Air Force Base and Subic Bay Naval Base if it decides Marcos kept power by fraud and no longer has his people's support. "Let's put our stake in democracy and freedom above the bases," Shultz told the Senate Budget Committee. U.S. aid is a major factor in the Philippine economy, and American officials have tied future support for the government to an election that is perceived by Filipinos to be free and honest. THE SENATE registered its mounting distaste for Marcos, who long has enjoyed U.S. support. On a lopsided 85-9 vote, it declared the results of the Feb. 7 election were "marked by such widespread fraud that they cannot be considered a fair reflection of the will of the people of the Philippines."

"I will exercise to the limit the provision of the law and the constitution to prevent turmoil," said Marcos, who was declared the winner of the election Sunday by the Marcos-controlled Natioml Assembly. An independent watchdog group did its own vote count and said Aquino won more votes. In other Phillipines-related news, the Los Angeles bureau manager of the Philippine News, a newspaper that has oposed the regime of Marcos, was shot to death in his home yesterday, a spokeswoman for Sen. Alan Cranston (D.-CA) said. Word that Oscar Salvatierra was shot came from the San Francisco headquarters of the Philippine News. Cranston spokeswoman Chris Lopez said. Salvatierra has received a warning that "you will be executed," Ms. Lopez said. qt SleMS By MICHAEL LUSTIG Incumbents Dean Baker and Thea Lea were re-elected to their respec- tive offices of Rackham Student Government president and vice president, according to unofficial election tallies. Baker defeated challenger Peggy Kuhn by a 134-72 margin, while Lee won over challenger Bart Edes, 140 to 69. A RECORD number of voters tur- ned out for the elections which were held yesterday and Tuesday, Baker said. This year, 248 Rackham studen- ts went to the polls, while less than 70 students voted last year.

The afternoon's events, sponsored by the University chapter of Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, featured a mock prison holding a dummy that symbolized prisoners of conscience, and a post card signing campaign to send to President Reagan. MARCY FLEISHER, a student struggle member, differentiated bet- ween prisoners of conscience and refuseniks. Prisoners of conscience are Jews who are arrested on trum- ped-up charges and sent to prison, whereas refuseniks are Jews denied exit visas. During the 15-minute demon- stration at noon, ten SSSJ members 4 stood opposite the prison, linked together by a rope, and donned nametags of refuseniks and prisoners of conscience. Each member told the history of the Jew they were represen- ting to a crowd of about 100 people. Karen Muchin represented Tania Bogomolny, a refusenik the chapter has adopted. "My husband Beniamin applied to emigrate in 1966. He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most patient refusenik. I have recently discovered that I have breast cancer. Medical care for refuseniks is barbaric. I must emigrate immediately to survive," Muchin stated. 'MUCHIN AND fellow student struggle member Jennifer Roth visited the Bogomolys last year. "In spite of all their hardships they have remained extremely optimistic," Muchin said. By adopting the Bogomolys, the group writes to them regularly, and contacts legislators on their behalf. They also write letters on behalf of other Jewish families in the Soviet Union. Other student struggle members visited refuseniks in Russia last year. "Once you go to the Soviet Union and you see the situation that these people are in you understand the need to make some noise," Fleisher said. "Human rights are violated every day and it's our responsibility to change that," she added. FLEISHER said Hebrew teachers in Russia have been imprisoned at the rate of one per month since last year. Their only crime is teaching Hebrew, although that is not what they are charged with, she said. See STUDENTS, Page 2 Bill Frieder. "The intensity level has been good." Michigan may need more than at- titude to beat the Spartans (17-6, 8-5 Big Ten), who have won six of their last seven games, and currently boast the third highest shooting' percentage in NCAA history at 56.8 percent. They trail only North Carolina and the 1980 Missouri squad. "I've never had such a concern about a game in my life," said Frieder. His worries center on shut- ting down that shooting game, namely Scott Skiles. THE 6-1 guard is a scoring wizard, See SMOKIN', Page 10 Changes in comm. dept. approved By NANCY DRISCOLL The LSA curriculum committee ap- proved revised requirements for a concentration in communication Tuesday. The revisions, which reduce the requirements for the concen- tration program, will go into effect next fall. The revisions lower the total num- ber of hours for the concentration from 38 to 31 and increase the hours of cognate hours from six to nine. UNDER THE new requirements, students must take courses 103, Media of . Mass Communication; 202, Freedom of Expression; and 401, Selected Theories in Communication. In addition, students must take three hours each from the following groups of courses: theory and research, in- stitutions, and communications skills. Two courses which are currently required for concentrators - 101, In- terpersonal Communication, and 210, Persuasive Communication - have been dropped because of staff shor- tages and because they. fall outside the field of mass communication. The revisions follow a request from the executive committee last year that the department narrow its focus.

The Arb is primarily a nature study area and we don't allow camping," he said. In the past Jaegar said he has received calls about rock concerts and weddings, but those festivities are forbidden as well. He has not gotten any calls about camping yet, only one from a concerned neighbor, but he expects to get as many as 500 in the next few weeks. Jaeger said he is not angry about the Daily's Methodist Church in this Pittsburgh suburb. Silk said yesterday that his father, J. Meryl Silk, had apparently borrowed the book from the church library about 1910. His father was 12 years old then. The book, entitled, "The Life of John Wesley" by C. T. Winchester, is about the founder of the Methodist Church. An inside page of the book warns, "Books are loaned for two weeks only." Silk said the book may have inspired his INSIDE OLD MAIN: Opinion looks at converting the old University hospital. See Page 4. I I I I
