Jonathon Shapiro, Fresh- man LSA: On a campus this big, not everyone feels the same way, but having the shanty up on campus con- veys nationally that there is anti-apartheid sentiment at the University.

LSA: My big concern is that someone will vandalize it. It's important so that the issue won't die out on cam- pus and reminds everyone of the struggle in South Africa. Malia Frey, Jun. LSA: No, it shouldn't stay up. In making people aware of apartheid, its done its job. It should come down. Kelvin Witcher, Fresh. LSA: Yes, it's a symbol of students feelings against apartheid. And as long as the struggle exists, and as long as there is doubt about the University's position, it should stay up. John Knave Jr., Soph. LSA: Yes, it's a symbol and ob- viously it's effective in some sense, if people tried to knock it down. They must be aware of it. Lori Veederame, Jun. LSA: In the wake of all these violent acts against these constructions around the country, it might not be ad- vantageous to the Univerity to keep it up. Andy Solomon, Jun. LSA: Since it's not interfering with people's lives, it should stay up. People see it and look at the issue a little harder. Mark Lynden, Soph. LSA: I've heard a lot of people talking about the shanty on campus, and I support it. It's raised awareness. U' commission proposes new LSA courses (Continued from Page 1) IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS W. Germans expel 2 Libyans BONN, WEST GERMANY - West Germany ordered the expulsions of two Libyan diplomats yesterday a day after Government sources said the United States had stepped up pressure on Bonn to apply sanctions against Libya to protest its support of terrorism. The expulsions were ordered by Foreign Minister Hans Kietrich Gen- scher on the basis of accumluating that the two men had "taken actions imcompatible with normal diplomatic practice," chief government spokesman Friedhelm Ost told a new conference. Ost declined specifics on what the men were accused of, but said, "It is not directly connected with the Berlin attack" last Saturday night of a West Berlin nightclub frequented by U.S. servicemen. One American and a Turkish woman died in the bombing and 230 people were injured, in- cluding 64 Americans. Ost said the Cabinet "unanimously approved" the expulsions. He quoted Chancellor Helmut Kohl as saying: "We will not let our American friends be bombed out or terrorized out." Engler opposes state aid for homosexual AIDS victims LANSING - Republican candidate for Governor, Colleen Engler (Mt. Pleasant), said no money should go for counseling programs for homosexual AIDS victims, but should instead be targeted for other poten- tial victims of the deadly disease. "If gay groups want to. . . educate their own groups, they should use their own money," Engler said at a news conference yesterday. Meanwhile, an association of school district administrators yesterday endorsed a policy on acquired immune deficiency syndrome adopted by the state, praising its flexibility for local districts. The State Board of Education Tuesday approved a document recom- mending that local schools make case-by-case decisions on how to handle youngsters with AIDS. The recommendations, which are merely ad- visory, state that in most instances, children with AIDS should be admit- ted to school. Regarding the education guidelines, Engler said she soes not oppose allowing AIDS victims to remain in school, but said it may open the districts to lawsuits. Teacher abducted in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon - A French schoolteacher was kidnapped by gun- men in Moslem west Beirut yesterday, sources at the French Embassy said. No one claimed responsibility for his abduction. Meanwhile, Paris sent top officials to Tehran in an effort to improve relations with Iran, which has supported Shiite Moslem zealots in Lebanon. Eight other Frenchmen have been abducted by Lebanese Shiites who espouse Iranian-style Islamic fundamentalism. Michel Brian, who taught at the College Protestant Francais in west Beirut for six years, was the third Westerner to disappear iri that section of the capital in less than two weeks. French Embassy spokesman Francois Abi Saab would not confirm Brian had been kidnapped, saying only: "The embassy is making all the necessary contacts to investigate his fate." But other embassy sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Brian was seized by gunmen near the Modca cafe on Hamra Street, west Beirut's main thoroughfare, as he walked to school. They said they had no other details on the number or identity of the reported kidnappers. World population increases WASHINGTON - World population will hit 4.9 billion at mid-year, swell to 6.1 billion by 2000, and more than double the current level - ex- ceeding 10 billion - by the end of the 21st century, the Population Reference Bureau estimated yesterday. The Bureau, a private research organization specializing in demographic trends, said the increase will continue despite the fact the global growth rate has passed its peak as national programs to control the population explosion take effect. China, with 1.05 billion people, remains the most populous nation with 21.3 percent of the world total, the report said, but India - now No. 2 with 785 million people - could surpass China by the year 2100 and have a total population of 1.6 billion people if present trends in both countries con- tinue. Challenger cabin intact before hitting water CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla - Challenger's crew cabin structurally sur- vived the Jan. 28 explosion and nine-mile plunge from the sky and then shattered when it hit the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, a federal safety expert reported yesterday. However, experts do not believe the astronauts survived the fall to the ocean. They believe the seven probably were killed instantly from the shock of the explosion or from aerodynamic forces as the cabin tumbled from the sky. The nose section with the cabin inside broke cleanly away from the rest of the shuttle and when it "struck the water, it had some mass inside; that mass was the crew module," said Terry Armentrout, director of the National Transportation Safety Board's bureau of accident investigation. Armentrout said aerodynamic forces rather than the explosion caused most of the intitial breakup of Challenger and that the 140-to-180 mph im- pact with the water did the rest of the damage. In fact, he said, there was no large explosion as everyone first believed. He said it was more of a fireball and that the cloud of smoke and flame resulted from the flames that flashed when liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellant mixed after the huge external fuel tank ruptured. 14 I 14 14 A to Prof. Martha Vicsinus, a member of the commission. Students would be encouraged to take three lecture courses and one seminar during their first two years at the University. Prof. Hugh Mon- tgomery, a member of the com- mission, said the series of courses will lend more coherence to students' 'programs. "After the exposure to these new courses, students will be _better equipped to deal with their ad- vanced courses," Montgomery said. He said the commission has also formulated "what we think a liberal arts education is all about. A liberal arts education is the art of understan- ding and evaluating evidence and arguments." A fundamental problem for LSA has been the lack of such an "official, clearly stated policy," Jack Meiland, associate dean for long-range plan- ning, wrote in a 1984 memo to the college curriculum committee. "THE LIBERAL arts education in- volves factual knowledge, but what's really important... is learning to learn. One is preparing for a lifetime of learning," Montgomery said. The new courses will take advan- tage of one strength of the University. "What's special about U of M is the distinguished research faculty. Because we the faculty are such able researchers, we can instruct un- dergraduates how to interpret results. That's the overall aim - to teach un- dergraduates this art of evaluation," said Montgomery. The SKILL program could cost LSA up to 5 percent of its overall budget, according to Montgomery. The college may try to get financial sup- port from outside the University in the form of endowments, said Eagle. Eagle said the idea for the SKILL program is an original one that has not been tried at other universities.
