Arizona governor speaks at conference
By JOE PIGOTT
Bruce Babbitt, governor of Arizona and a possible con-
tender for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination,
defended the nation's welfare system during a speech last
night, as part of a two-day conference called "Social
Welfare Policy in a Market Economy: The Visible Hand."
Speaking at a dinner sponsored by the Institute of
Public Policy Studies, which coordinated the conference,
Babbitt said he understands criticism leveled by
Republicans that the welfare system breeds "disincen-
tives" among its recipients to find steady employment.
"WE'VE GOT to realize that these programs should not
only be entitlements, but that responsibilities go along
with them," he told an audience of about 120 at the Cam-
pus Inn. "We've got to put these people back in the job
market."
How to help impoverished children is an issue that can
unite conservatives and liberals split over social welfare
policy, Babbitt said. He pointed to the drop in Medicaid
payments, which he said denies half of America's needy
children basic health care.
Babbitt argued that the public must help stem the tide
of poor children by addressing teenage pregnancy.
"THE ONLY really successful teenage pregnancy
programs are where the agencies had the gumption to set
up counseling services which include providing infor-
mation on contraception and education."
He also criticized the Reagan admininstration and
Congress for enacting the Gramm-Rudman deficit-
slashing legislation that calls for equal cuts in all federal
programs. Babbitt said welfare should be made a top
priority.
"We've got to get back to our priorities," he said.
"Welfare is a 'beggar thy neighbor policy,' and we've got
to make it work on the federal level."
Charles Murray, author of Losing Ground: American
Social Policy 1950-80, who was at Babbitt's speech and
spoke earlier yesterday, criticized the governor's call for
support of welfare. In the book, he called for an
elimination of Welfare.
"(Babbitt) is a presidential dark horse, and if he gets
elected, then he'll find out that child care programs don't
work. Fads are endemic in social welfare programs," he
said.
The conference continues today at the Campus Inn with
a luncheon speech by Dr. Agnes Mansour, director of
Michigan's Department of Social Services. A series of
seminars ranging from federal programs for children, the
unemployed, and the elderly will also be held. And Alfred
Kahn, a Columbia University professor, will close the con-
ference with the speech, "The Future of Social Welfare
Policy: What can we Expect?"

Political motives may be behind 'Opus' controversy
(Continued from Page 1)
He said Muenchow may display
Opus only with "a credit line or box,
and its likeness may not be separated
in any way."
Although MSA originally told
Muenchow that the writers group had
expressed its displeasure at his use of
Opus, Leets said that Eric Schnaufer,
an MSA Law School representative,
had actually informed the Post of
Muenchow's publicity campaign.
SCHNAUFER, who also chairs the
MSA personnel interviewing commit-
tee, would not comment yesterday on
whether he called the writers group.
He did criticize Muenchow's use of the
cartoon figure, however, citing "the
ethics of using a nationally and locally
recognized graphic design for partisian
political purposes."~
He then called Meadow "a conser-
vative party" that should not be using
a "liberal" comic strip to represent
them.
Muenchow, who has referred to his
party as "moderate" also found the
incident "politically motivated," and
he characterized whoever called the
Post as a "political opponent."
Schnaufer and other MSA members
have said that the assembly's Budget
Priorities Committee, which Muen-
chow has chaired for two years,
discriminates against campus groups
in its funding procedures.
Several weeks ago, Schnaufer
called for an MSA investigation into
the BPC, saying "we have seen clear
violations of the spirit and letter of the
(BPC) guidelines." The investigation
began this week.
Muenchow added yesterday that he
has "never been in the wrong" in his
use of the comic strip. He said he had
"assumed" this would not infringe on
copyright laws, attributing his feeling
to the comic strip characters he has
seen used in advertisements for cam-
pus fraternities and sororities.
"Opus is well-known and it will
draw interest in the campaign,,
Muenchow said. "It reflects the fact
that we're having fun with the cam-
paign."

IN BRIEF
COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
U. of Ga. president resigns
ATHENS, Ga. - Fred Davison resigned yesterday as president of the
University of Georgia with a blast at the regents who delayed renewing
his contract in the wake of a scandal over the academic treatment of
athletes.
Davison, president of the university since 1967, said in a letter to
University System Chancellor Dean Propst that he decided to step down
because of the Board of Regents' decision Wednesday to delay his annual
reappointment. The resignation is effective July 1.
He announced his decision at a closed meeting yesterday morning with
Georgia'a 13 deans and six vice presidents. After the 10-minute meeting,
Davison, 56, left his office through a back door.
Davison's resignation came a month after a federal court jury in Atlan-
ta awarded former Georgia instructor Jan Kemp $2.57 million in
damages in her suit against two other university officials. Mrs. Kemp had
charged that she was fired for speaking out against preferential treatent
of student athletes in Georgia's remedial Developmental Studies
Program.
Davison, whose tenure as president has been peppered with controver-
sy, came under increasing criticism after the verdict in the Kemp case.
USSR to continue test pause
MOSCOW - Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev announced that he would
continue his country's unilateral nuclear test moratorium indefinitely as
long as the United States did not set off a test blast, according to a letter
released yesterday.
Gorbachev also repeated his call for negotiations on a permanent,
comprehensive test ban treaty and said the Soviet Union was willing to
discuss on-site verification measures.
TheaCommunist Party leader's comments came in a letter addressed to
the leaders of Argentina, India, Mexico, Tanzania, Sweden and Greece.
The six had sent Gorbachev a message saying the Soviet Union and
United States should not conduct any nuclear tests until their next sum-
mit.
The Soviet Union announced its unilateral moritorium in August. The
official news agency Tass said Gorbachev's reply was delivered Wed-
nesday to Argentina Ambassador Frederico Bravo. It was not made
public until yesterday.
Reagan presents Nicaraguan
domino theory to Congress
WASHINGTON - With a bristling display of the deadly tools of Central
American conflict as his backdrop, President Reagan warned Congress
yesterday that failure to arm Nicaraguan rebels would spawn "a string of
anti-American communist dictatorships" in the region.
Reagan went to the State Department to press his case against the San-
dinista regime in Nicaragua with graphic evidence that depicted
Managua as a capital for the export of aggression and subversion.
"The fledgling democracies of Central America cannot be expected to
stand alone against this kind of concerted communist effort," Reagan
.declared. "And let's make no mistake: this nation, too, is threatened."
But at the Capital. House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said that while
Reagan was picking up votes he still predicted the House would reject the
president's $100 million package - $70 million in military assistance and
$30 million in non-lethal aid - next week.
Marcos bank account found
MANILA, Philippines - A government commission has discovered
that ousted President Ferdinand Marcos hid $800 million in a Swiss bank
account, a major step toward locating up to $10 billion he allegedly
spirited out of the Philippines, an official said yesterday.
President Corazon Aquino, meanwhile, ordered Philippine banks to
freeze all assets held by Marcos, his wife, Imelda, and 31 of his
associates.
Ramon Diaz of the new Commission on Good government announced
discovery of the Swiss bank account yesterday but refused to provide
details or say how the commission learned of its existence.
Commission head Jovito Salonga has estimated that Marcos and his
associated illegally diverted $5 billion in national assets to overseas ac-
counts and investments.
A special task force also directed the removal of a $48 million gover-
nment casino trust fund from a bank controlled by associates of Marcos,
who was ousted Feb. 25 after a military revolt.
Salonga began a 10-day visit to the United States on Wednesday. He
plans to collect evidence of Marcos' holdings, consult U.S. legal experts
on ways to regain the funds and meet with State Department officials,
Daza said.
Soviets launch space mission
MOSCOW - The Soviet Union launched two veteran cosmonauts Thur-
sday on the first manned space mission since the Challenger disaster at
Cape Canaveral, sending them to work aboard a new orbiting lab.
State television broke with custom and provided live coverage of the
Soyuz T-15 blasting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Soviet central
Asia at 3:33 p.m. Moscow time (7:33 a.m. EST). U.S. television networks
also broadcast the launch live.
The first live coverage of an all-Soviet mission showed the red and
white craft streaking into slightly overcast skies above the space center
in Kazakhstan. It carried commander Leonid Kizim and engineer
Vladimir Solovev to a rendezvous with the new orbiting station named
Mir, which means Peace in Russian.
Tass, the official news agency, said the docking would occur in two
days. The Mir was launched unmanned from Balkonus on Feb. 20.
Reporting the docking date was as unusual as televising the launch
when it happened. Soviet officials have nbt explained the departure from
customary practice.
