The Michigan Daily -Monday, September 8, 1986-Pgge3 Pursell participates in Peace March ceremony By LESLIE ERINGAARD The Great Peace March turned political Saturday when U.S. Rep. Carl Pursell(R-Ann Arbor) showed up at the marcher's tree-planting ceremony on the lawn of City Hall. Pursell, whose appearance was unexpected, joined other local politicans in placing soil around the 106th tree planted by the marchers since their cross-country journey began last March. THE FIVE-TERM congress- man said he supported the marcher's efforts but members of the audience passed around leaflets criticizing his support of aid to the Nicaraguan contras. L LSA senior Margie Winkleman, a march participant, noted that both Pursell and University graduate student Dean Baker, the Democratic challenger in November's elections, were in the audience. Baker upset Don Grimes in the Democratic primary last August for the chance to face Pursell in the fall.. WINKLE MAN , who earlier had called the ceremony " non- political , " criticized Pursell's votes on Contra aid, weapons systems, and women's rights. She later apologized to both candidates for injecting politics into the ceremony, which was also attended by Ann Arbor Mayor Ed Pierce. state Sen. Lana Pollack(D - Ann Arbor), and state Rep. Perry Bullard. Baker was surprised by Pursell's -appearance. "I think Pursell is trying to convince people now that he is supportive of peace," he said, adding, "no one's that stupid." BAKER said Pursell has voted consistently in the past for weapons systems such as the Trident Missile and increased spending for the Strategic Defense Initiative. Baker said pressure from his own grass-roots campaign has forced Pursell to alter his stances. "I think he's really scared," said Baker. Pursell recently voted for a bilateral nuclear test ban treaty, a ban on chemical weapons, a smaller increase in SDI funding, an reduced funding for'weapons that violate the Salt II treaty. In an interview Saturday, Pursell said he is "optimistic" that an arms control agreement can soon be reached with the Soviet Union. In response to Mayor Pierce's call for unilateral nuclear disarmament, Pursell; said he would prefer bilateral disarmament by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. He expressed support for Ann Arbor's sister-city relationship with a Nicaraguan town, calling it a "good, people-oriented program."

People are asking really good questions, they're receptive and have shown a genuine interest. The people who stopped and talked were really supportive." dickey said that during her :three-hour shift at the group's Ttable on the Diag, she collected 300 signatures on a petition calling for global nuclear disarmament. She estimates the group earned approximately $400 in bucket .drives on campus Friday. THE CAMP-out on the Diag Friday night was limited to women. Winkelman said she did not think the prohibition would alienate men. The 40 women from the Great rally, slee Peace March were joined on their Diag camp-out by another 20 or 30 women from the local community. They ate a pot-luck supper, sang songs, and socialized. A guard was appointed at all times to watch over the camp-site. Gretchen Bronan , said she joined the demonstration "Because women need to gather all over the planet now. It's crucial because we're the people that give birth to life, we have to make sure that all of our efforts aren't. destroyed by a single button push." MANY STUDENTS who encountered the women while walking across the Diag had favorable reactions to the encampment. on Diag Freshman Rob Sibley said, "I think global disarmanent is a good cause. Just the whole set-up for a bunch-of women to come and camp out shows how serious they are," he said Sophomore Glen Anderson added "I think it's great. I'd-love to do something like this if I could." TheGreat Peace March is currently composed of about 650 people from all around the world. Present within the Women's Collective this weekend were marchers from New Zealand, Australia, and England. Within the march are also an Over 50's coalition, a Viet Nam veterans' group, and other informal collectives. ,Terrorism follows trend, By JOHN DUNNING This week's terrorist activity in Pakistan and Istanbul does not show any new trends in Middle Eastern violence, say three University "political science professors. The resurgance in terrorism, coming after a summertime lull, is nothing new, according to Prof.- Ronald Inglehart. Upward and downward surges in Middle East terrorism have been occuring regularly for 10 years, but have recently been increasing in number. "There's fluctuation, but the trend over the last 10 years har 'been upward," Inglehart said. "WE'VE HAD an unusually quiet summer, but I don't think terrorism is going to go away," said Prof. Samuel Barnes. "Violence and politics have always gone together." Recent attacks include Arab speaking commandos hijacking a Pan American World Airway jumbo jet on Friday in Karachi, Pakistan, killing at least 15 people; and Arab terrorists storming a synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey on Saturday, killing at least 21 people. Americans will likely be the targets of tbrrorist attacks in the future at an increasing rate, the, professors said. "As a dominant country, we are likely to be targets of people with frustrations," said Barnes. PROF. Raymond Tanter, an expert on the Middle East, said that trying to predict when terrorists will strike next is not 'U' profs say difficult. "Terrorism follows a logic of its own, it has a rythmn which is not easily broken." Tanter said. Tanter explained that it takes about- three months for a teirorist organization to organize an attack, and about one additional month to implament the plan, Tanter said that terrorism runs in three to four month cycles. As an example, he cited the last major terrorist attack involving Americans - the April 5 Berlin bombing that killed a U.S. soldier and a Turkish woman. Inglehart said he expects the recent increase in terrorist ,attacks to continue. Excluding 1986, "1985 has been the worst year up-to-date," he said.
