Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 11, 1986 Dems may tie Contra aid to bill 4 From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - President Reagan, saying there has been enough debate over aid to Contra rebels fighting Nicaragua, urged Democrats yesterday to let the House vote on the $100 million play without tying it to a spending bill he might veto. Reagan met with about 20 Democrats, most of whom voted against the aid package last month but who have since indicated they might vote for it with restrictions added by the Senate on how and when the money will be spent. "THIS IS clearly an effort to kill our proposal by delaying tactics - tactics that could jeopardize the lives of the freedom fighters and prevent the delivery of defensive weapons necessary to protect themselves from Sandinista attacks," Reagan told the Democrats. At the same time, Secretary of State George Shultz went to House Speaker Thomas O'Neill's of- fice to appeal for a legislative vehicle other than the disputed spending bill to carry the Contra aid request. There was no immediate indication O'Neill had agreed. The House Rules Committee met yesterday to establish ground rules for Monday's Contra aid debate and it was considered likely to follow O'Neill's wish to tie the aid around the supplemen- tal spending bill the White House says will be vetoed on budgetary grounds. EVEN IF the bill passes, it would then have to go to a conference committee with the Senate, and then to the White House, where spokesman Larry Speakes said it was "a certain candidate for a veto." The House narrowly defeated Reagan's first aid plan last month. Since then, Nicaragua staged raids against Contra. forces taking sanctuary in neighboring Honduras and balked at last week's efforts by other Latin American nations to get the Contadora peace process moving. "The invasion of Honduras by Nicaragua and the lack of progress in the latest Contadora effort. .. underscores the urgent need for effective sup- port for Democratic resistance in Nicaragua," Speakes quoted Reagan as saying. SPEAKES said Reagan told the Democrats immediate aid would prevent the Marxist-led Sandinista regime from consolidating its power and wiping out the Contras, whose U.S. aid ex- pired March 31. "The president assured the Congress of his con- tinued support for the Contadora objectives," Speakes said, adding Reagan "shares the hope" for a negotiated settlement of the conflict in Cen- tral America. Speakes said Reagan was "shocked and dismayed" with O'Neill's trying to tie the Contra aid to the spending bill. "THIS IS clearly an effort to kill our proposaltby delaying tactics, tactics that could jeopardize the lives of the freedom-fighters," he quoted Reagan as saying. "The president also told the congressional leadership we have debated this issue enough. Its urgency is such that the president appealed to the House Democratic leadership to avoid further parliamentary delay," Speakes said. "The president says to those who oppose our policy, 'If you want to vote no - fine, but the process being suggested by the House leadership is that even if a majority of the House votes yes, they still won't be able to get aid to the Contras.'" Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Dante Fascell, (D-Fla.), and Armed Services Committee chairman Les Aspin, (D-Wis.), predicted that Contra aid would pass the House this time. "I think the odds are that in some form, with some restrictions, military aid will be approved," said Aspin., who opposed the aid last month. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS U.S. explodes nuclear bomb LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The United States, ignoring congressional protests, exploded a nuclear warhead beneath the Nevada desert yester- day, triggering a Soviet response that it will resume testing after an eight-month moratorium. As many as six anti-nuclear protesters in all-terrain vehicles were believed to be on the Nevada Test Site grounds when the warhead ex- ploded with a force the Energy Department said has less than 20 kilotons. Peter Dykstra of Greenpeace, one of several anti-nuclear groups whose members sneaked onto the Nevada Test Site all week, said there was no immediate word on the infiltrators. The test, delayed for two days, was conducted at 6:08 a.m. PST in a reinforced tunnel complex 1,300 feet below the desert floor at Rainier Mesa, a Department of Energy spokeswoman said. The Soviets promptly condemned the test as a "dangerous destabilization step" that demonstrates Washington's "haughty disregard for the vital interests of the U.S. and all other nations, as if it had decided to ride for a fall on the brink of a nuclear precipice," the of- ficial news agency Tass said. U.S. prepares to punsh Lbya WASHINGTON -The Reagan administration has decided to retaliate against Libya for a terrorist attack in West Berlin, but when the strike will take place and how it will be carried out has not been determined, U.S. officials said yesterday. Two U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups were poised in the Mediterranean yesterday, awaiting an order from President Reagan to execute a reprisal attack against military targets in Libya, the officials said. Reagan told a news conference Wednesday that he was waiting for proof that Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy - who he called the "mad dog of the Middle East'"- was behind the Berlin attack before ordering a retaliation. But other adminstration officials have said sufficient eviden- ce exists to link the Libyan leader to the terrorist bombing. Black medical students protest 4 'U' Council works to ease fears of code t(Co.ntinued from Page 4 twnunueu rroui rags i) _ if it is used unfairly. Councilmembers originally con- sidered requiring only that the code be re-ratified after two years, but that would have meant that the University would implement an interim code un- til the council formulated an accep- table system. THE University would have sole discretion in forming any interim code, which student leaders fear would be more repressive than a code approved by students. "Let's not give the regents a basis in law of doing anything that's bad," said law student and former council chairman Eric Schnaufer during the 'U' official says Mandela not nominated for degree council's public comments session. On a related matter, the council decided yesterday that any amen- dments to a code would have to be ap- proved by five members of the nine- member University Council. At least two students, one faculty member, and one administrator would have to agree on the change. As is required now by the regents bylaw 7.02 amendments would also have to be approved by MSA, the Senate Assembly, and the regents. COHEN SAID councilmembers want to have the right to approve any changes in a document they draft. The stipulation also gives more legitimacy to regental bylaw 7.02. In the past, University President Harold Shapiro has threatened to bypass the bylaw to implement the administration's proposal for a code. The council also decided to give students more representation on the University hearing boards that decide whether students accused of violent crimes should be punished. Previously, the council planned to recommend a three-member hearing board comprised of one student, one I (Continued from Page 1) Shapiro said, "Each year, the names of many distinguished individuals are submitted to the Honorary Degrees Committee. Some of these names are recommended to the regents by the committee. Others, for a variety of reasons, are not. Some are ineligible because they are unable to accept a degree in person." "It has been our policy only to an- nounce the names of those individuals who have both been offered an honorary degree and have elected to accept it, since this course of action most fully protects the privacy and preserves the prerogatives of those whom the University wishes to honor in this way," Shapiro said. Shapiro added that the interest in Mandela "is quite understandable in light of the contributions made by Mr. Mandela and the great national atten- tion currently focused on him and on recent events in South Africa." Members of the Free South Africa Coordinating Committee yesterday complained to Kennedy about the secrecy that surrounds the honorary degrees committee, and said the fact that they were not told about the regental bylaw until Tuesday was "an insult to the people working on behalf of Mr. Mandela." "That doesn't seem to operating in good faith," said Barbara Ransby, a leader of the group. faculty member, and one University administrator. The student would be randomly chosen from a pool of students supplied by MSA, the faculty member from a pool from the faculty's Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, and the ad- ministrator from a pool provided by the University President. But yesterday the council agreed to add a second student to the board, making it a four-member board. "One student on the board may feel in- timidated," Cohen said. "They might need a kind of moral support to be able to speak their minds freely." Councilmembers have stressed throughout the year a need to be sen- sitive to students' fears that a code may be used to repress their civil rights. Opponents of the code have said it could be used to discourage dissent on campus. From 1982 to 1984, students rejected six drafts of the code proposed by the previous University Council and the University's administration. The council is expected to release its work for input by other University community members next Thursday. R'e ttICE , , ,tU Students lobby in Lansing white classmates in S.

At yester- day's hearing, representatives from different colleges were careful to point out the problems their schools face. Eric Baumstark of Michigan State Universtiy said MSU has lost 120 tenured professors in the past three years due to lack of funding. Vebo Prasad, an LSA junior at the University, described the poor con- dition of the University's Chemistry Building. And Judy Goldner, an Eastern Michigan University student, said she wouldn't have been able to at- tend college without financial aid. Kennedy said student lobbyists can have more impact than ad- ministrators on the legislators. "It's one thing for us to make the case, but if recipients of the service lobby and seen as individuals it will be a lot more meaningful," he said. Sen Joe Conroy (D-Flint) said the tuition for state institutions is high due to economic problems the state has faced in the past six years. Michigan's public colleges and universities are among the highest-pri ced in the country. The University is among the five most expensive public colleges in the country. 4444444*4444444444444444.

Dr. William Hillegonds - Sr. Minister * * * JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The only two whites attending a black medical school sat alone yesterday in classes boycotted by the other 1,078 students, who do not want them there. The problem began when Pieter Druger and Darryl Wilke enrolled In February. They completed pre-medical training at regular universities and en- tered the black school, commonly called Medunsa, because others would not accept them as third-year students. The predominantly white administration dropped them soon afterward because of black protests, but the Supreme Court ordered their rein- statement last month. The boycott began March 22. Black leaders, who want integrated education, objected when the white government opened the university in 1978. Students argue now, however, that blacks need all the places available at the school to meet a severe shortage of doctors. The private South African Institute of Racial Relations reports that there was one white doctor for every 330 whites in 1983 and one black doc- tor for every 12,000 blacks. AIDS victim returns to school KOKOMO, Ind. - Teen-age AIDS victim Ryan White returned to school yesterday after a judge threw out a temporary order barring his atten- dance, and some parents promptly took their children out of class in protest. The ruling by Clinton Circuit Judge Jack O'Neill was the latest move in the legal battle that has kept the 14-year-old Kokomo youth out of classes all but one day of this school year. Ryan, who contracted acquired immune deficiency syndrome through blood treatments for hemophilia, has been barred from classes since last summer. Parents of Ryan's classmates at the Western Middle School had ob- tained the temporary injunction on Feb. 21, the one day Ryan attended classes after a local health officer said he posed no threat to his classmates. Yesterday Ryan was whisked away from the court hearing and taken to school. Asked if he was ready to finish the school year after monitoring classes until now through a telephone link, the boy said, "Yeah, I guess." Libyans await American move TRIPOLI, Libya- Libyans adopted a "wait-and-see" attitude yesterday about possible U.S. military retaliation for alleged Libyan involvement in two recent terrorist attacks that left five Americans and a Turkish woman dead. An official at the Foreign Liasion Bureau, Libya's foreign ministry, said the government took no actions in the wake of President Reagan's threats Wednesday night to act against Libya if proof is uncovered linking Libya to the bombing of a Berlin dance club and the attack on a TWA jet in the skies over Greece. "We are waiting," said the Foreign Liaison Bureau official. "There ha- ve been no decisions made today. We are taking a wait-and-see attitude." "As (Khadafy) said yesterday, we are ready to go to war if we are attacked," an Information Ministry official said. "Libyans are ready to die in defense of Jamahariya" - Libya's name for their country, which means "the gathering of the masses." 0 bje.StMihign IDatlg Vol. XCVI -No. 131 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms.
