4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 15, 1986 Blanchard leads Lucas in poll By LAURABISCHOFF with wire reports With less than eight weeks before the state's general election, Gov. James Blanchard leads Republican candidate William Lucas by a substantial margin, according to a poll published last week. Sentiments among University students seem to coincide with poll results. Most students interviewed said they support Blanchard, stating their satisfaction with Michigan's economic recovery under Blanchard's administration. "I feel he's done a really good job of turning the state around," said second-year pharmacy student Carrie Coselman. "We were in bad shape when he came into office." THE POLL, conducted Sept. 4 through Sept. 9 by the Gordon S. Black Corp. of Rochester, N.Y. for the Detroit News, found that of the 806 registered voters polled, 55 percent plan to vote for Blanchard, 27 percent back Lucas, and 18 percent are undecided. Black said that although he expected Lucas to gain, it would take a major scandal involving the governor for Lucas to win the election. Lucas, the Wayne County executive who switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party last year, is hoping to become the nation's first elected black governor. Blanchard is seeking his second four-year term. BLANCHARD has apparently gained the most support by balancing the budget. "He's done a fantastic job with the economic recovery. People are really feeling better about the state," said LSA senior Mike Nachman. Nachman said the economic recovery is the only issue that is bound to have any effect on the election. LSA senior Jeff Stiegman said he would rather vote for Blanchard, who has proven himself as governor, than for Lucas, whom he doesn't know. "He has done a pretty fair job in the last few years and I have no idea what Lucas is going to do," Stiegman said. "I wasn't real thrilled with his tax increases when he first got into office, but the results were good and they're rolled back now." LSA junior Nick Metzger of Detroit said he will vote for Blanchard in the Nov. 4 elections, not because of Michigan's balanced budget, but for Blanchard's stance on education appropriations. WHILE LUCAS is willing to cut funding for schools, Blanchard is not, he said. "I like Lucas. He seems like he would be a good governor. He has some good ideas, fresh ideas. But I'm barely surviving with tuition as it is and he's not going to help me any, especially with Reagan in office," Metzger said. Metzger said Blanchard has done a good job with economic recovery, "but if I want to get a job in Michigan, I have to pay half my salary in taxes, which is ridiculous. It's getting hard to live in this state." Students rush through fraternities' doors By KERRY DUFF Free food, beer, parties, life- long friendships, and dates with sorority women are up for grabs this week, as fraternities throw open their doors for fall rush. Last night approximately 600 men began the week-long process of rushing, or visiting some of the University's 42 fraternity houses. Rush gives the rushees a chance to see where they'd feel most comfortable and fraternity members a chance to choose new members. ONE IMPORTANT requirement for acceptance into a fraternity is fitting in with the the members. But many men think that a fraternity won't accept them unless they fit the its image. Denny Kavanaugh, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, which governs most campus fraternities, said members are not looking to perpetuate house stereotypes. Instead, they want JO STENS A M E R I C A' S C O L L E G E R i N G Stop by and see a Jostens representative this week to save on the gold ring of your choice.

Dan Paige, president of Sigma Chi, said his fraternity was looking for people who were confident and at ease. TOM FRANKS, president of Phi Sigma Kappa, said that although the eight members of his fraternity are diverse, it is important for rushees to fit in with the members. Kavanaugh believes fraternity members' attitudes about rush differ from those of sorority members. He said fraternity rush is more relaxed and men visit only houses they choose to visit, while women are required to visit every sorority house. Fraternities also hold rush twice a year, while would-be sorority members often can rush only in the fall, making the experience more pressured. Years ago men had to be invited to rush a fraternity in a closed and secretive manner. Today, men don't need an invitation and they can drop out of the process at any time. ONE WAY fraternities induce rushees to visit their house is by throwing theme' parties. Although rushees chose a fraternity on the basis of the parties they attend, many men admit they'd like to join a fraternity with a good reputation. LSA freshman Stuart Beraha said that reputation is very influential, because "I could be stigmitized for joining a frat that has a particular reputation." Chris Andriostak, also a freshman, said that while reputation is important, he would base his choices on " location, people, and beer." A spokesman for the Inter- Fraternity Council said he expects the number of rushees to increase 2 percent from last year. Conference speaks on virtues of meditation (Continued from Page 1) in Fairfield for two weeks around Christmas. And as a result of their group meditation, she said, violence eased in Lebanon, the stock market rose, the crime rate dropped, and traffic fatalities decreased. She cites other results from an experiment in 1979. A group of expert meditators were sent to trouble spots like Iran and Nicaragua. While they were there, fighting settled down and the decrease in violence lasted until the meditators left, Donna McDonald said.

The mood alternated from serious to light as Daniloff described his' fears as he lay in his cell, the informal courtesy code among prisoners, and the give-and-take with his KGB interrogator over the wording of questions. Daniloff emphasized he was never physically abused during his stay at Lefortovo Prison, but he said the loneliness and the 30 hours of in- terrogation took their toll. "The end result is that when you go back to your cell, you can't get your mind off of the problem, the misfortune which has occurred to you," he said. "And frankly, I have to tell you, it's mental torture, mental tor- ture." The 51-year-old reporter, who says he was framed by the KGB in revenge for the FBI arrest of a Soviet on spy charges in New York, also had a sober warning for fellow journalists: "All of you are potential targets for this sort of action, and it's deplorable. One has to ask: is this an acceptable way of behaving, snap- ping up people off the street in order to gain political leverage in some other case?" Bomb kills 5 in Seoul airport SEOUL, South Korea - A powerful explosive device blasted the crowded terminal building at Seoul's Kimpo International Airport yesterday, killing five Koreans and injuring 19, police said. Police said 13 victims were seriously hurt. Local news media accounts said as many as 35 people were injured in the air terminal, the main arrival point for the Asian Games set to open next Saturday. A statement issued by Kang Min-chang, director of South Korea's national police, pointed an accusing finger at communist North Korea, charging North Korea with planning "impure, barbaric, and wicked schemes aimed at disrupting the successful hosting of the games." South Korea has feared that North Korea or others might try to mar the games-and this nation's image as host. North Korea refused to take part in the games, saying they were one more event aimed at perpetuating the division of the Korean peninsula. 17 killed in Greek earthquake KALAMATA, Greece - Rescuers pulled seven bodies yeaterday from the rubble of an apartment building toppled by a powerful earthquake in this southern port city, raising the toll to at least 17 people killed and more than 300 injured. A Defense Ministry spokesman said more than 100 people were hospitalized after Saturday's quake, and 200 more were treated for cuts and puncture wounds. Rescue crews pulled out 31 people alive from damaged buildings, but more bodies were believed buried under rubble, said the spokesman, who demanded anonymity. The quake, measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale, rolled through the mountainous Messenia region, 180 miles southwest of Athens, at 8:24 p.m. Saturday. The tremor destroyed all but three of 120 homes in the village of Elaiochori, 12%/2 miles east of Kalamata. The bodies of three villagers were found beneath the rubble, the ministi-y said. Seven bodies were found elsewhere, including two men crushed in a car when a building toppled over. Neither police nor hospitals have issued an official list of those killed. Police reinforce seat belt law DETROIT - State police have stepped-up enforcement of Michigan's mandatory seat belt law because of declining safety belt use among motorists since the law took effect more than a year ago, officials said. A draft of a University of Michigan research report to be released tomorrow says 45 percent of Michigan residentsare complying with the seat-belt law, compared with 55 percent in July 1985 when the law took ef- fect. The law requires drivers and front-seat passengers to buckle up. New statewide police training also is in the works because local police officers aren't strictly enforcing the law, said Judy Coleman, chief of community education for the state police Office of Highway Safety Plan- ning. State police have increased seat-belt enforcement since Memorial Day, said state police traffic analyst Judy McNitt. She said troopers issued 17,160 tickets to adults and 164 to juveniles in the first seven months of 1986 for seat-belt violations. Grand jury investigates Detroit motorcycle gang DETROIT - A federal grand jury here is investigating allegations that members of a Detroit-based motorcycle club with chapters in about 25. states engaged in gun smuggling,drug trafficking and contract murders, a newspaper report said. The Lansing State Journal reported yesterday in a copyright story that indictments are expected in early 1987 in the grand jury investigation of the Detroit Highwaymen motorcycle club. Special agents from the U.S. Treasury Department's Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Division and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration have covertly investigated the gang during the past year, said Detroit Police Sgt. Charles Schatzberg. For about two months, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Foran has been providing background material on the motorcycle club to the grand jurors and will subpoena several witnesses, including gang members, Schatzberg and federal agents involved in the investigation said. "With this investigation we're hoping to wipe out their entire operation' in Detroit and hopefully make a dent in their national criminal operation," said a ATF special agent, who requested anonymity. 4 01Ihe Michigman ?BatIV Register by October 10th to take NSA's Professional Qualification Test.
