Cl be Ninety-seven years of editorialfreedom Ann Arbor, Michigan - Tuesday, September 16, 1986 ~Iai1v Vol. XCVII - No. 9 Copyright 1986, The Michigan Daily Eight Pages I Meetings by 'U' groups spark research talks U.S., Israel rule Soviets out of talks By MARTIN FRANK The ad hoc committee that reviewed the guidelines for classified research at the University discussed its findings with the Research Policies Committee and the Senate Advisory Committee for University Affairs yesterday. The committee completed its two reports last summer. A majority report, drafted by nine of the12 members, advocated tighter restrictions for both classified research and unclassified research. A minority report filed by the other three members opposed restrictions on research projects. THE COMMITTEE was formed by University President Harold Shapiro and had been deliberated for nearly a year before coming up with its proposals. The committee presented its recommendations to Shapiro last July. Shapiro distributed the reports to various groups on campus, including SACUAnand the =Michigan Student Assembly. These groups will have the entire fall term to debate the proposals before giving Shapiro their recommendations. SACUA President William Stebbins said SACUA's recommendations should be ready for its November meeting. Research Policies Committee Chairman George Carignan said the committee would reach a decision after its fourth meeting on the subject, currently scheduled for early November. DURING THE first committee meeting, held yesterday, committee members listened to both minority and majority reports. At the second meeting, deans from various colleges in the University will present their opinions of the proposals and their effects on future research projects. The RPC will vote on recommendations for Shapiro at the fourth meeting. Law Prof. Rebecca Eisenberg outlined the majority report's recommendations to eliminate the "end-use" clause in the current guidelines which forbids faculty members from doing classified research which have See 'U', Page 6 WASHINGTON (AP)- Prospects for an international peace conference on the Middle East dimmed yesterday as both the United States and Israel virtually ruled-out the participation of the Soviet Union anytime soon, expressing their preference for direct talks between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Emerging from a meeting at the White House with President Reagan, Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres said, "We have prepared the ground for a new drive" toward peace in the region. The next step, he said, "should be directed toward negotiations betwen the parties concerned." "INTERNATIONAL support can provide the parties with an opportunity for an opening occasion, but negotiations should remain between the parties concerned," Peres said, sharply limiting the role of outside powers in any substantive peace talks. In addition to his talks here with U.S. officials, Peres was trying, through the Israeli Embassy, to arrange a meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, who will be in town at the end of the week to see Secretary of State George Shultz before traveling to New York for the opening of the U.N. General Assembly. At the close of their summit meeting in Alexandria last week, Peres and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak agreed to explore the idea of a multi-nation conference on Middle East peace. But Peres, who switches jobs next month with Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, encountered immediate opposition from within his own coalition government. Both Reagan and Shultz stressed their interest in direct talks as well. REAGAN said the Peres- Mubarak summit itself "demonstrated that Arab-Israeli differences can best be resolved through direct negotiations." And Shultz set conditions for any Soviet participation in a multinational Middle East peace conference, telling reporters the Soviets would have to resume See ISRAEL, Page 3 Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY Building blocks Construction worker Walter Brike repairs the brick wall at Delta Kappa Epsilon while fraternity secretary Jim Roland locks up.

Reagan activates anti-drug campaign WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan, unveiling his plan to attack drug abuse in America, ordered the executive branch yesterday to set up mandatory tests for federal workers in sensitive jobs. But Reagan's program drew immediate resistance from the American Civil Liberties Union and labor organizations representing federal employees. IN THE Oval Office, where he signed the order and put his name on letters to Congress accompanying a series of legislative proposals, Reagan said, "This is the federal government's way of just saying "no'to drugs." Reagan's move came one day after he and his wife, Nancy, made a nationally televised broadcast, appealing to people's consciences and their sense of patriotism, for help in waging war on drug abuse. With the formal announcement of his anti drug- abuse plan, including Reagan's endorsement of capital punishment for certain drug- related offenses, the president joined members of Congress who have been scrambling to enact new measures of their own. BUT BEYOND the consensus in official Washington that something must be done about the drug abuse problem, there were indications that some suggested solutions face heavy obstacles: Leaders of federal employee See REAGAN, Page 3 Baker needs high student turnout for win By PETER MOONEY deputy registrars are being set up in the Diag, campaign is up to the task.

It changed his life. Instead of going ahead with his law career, he joined the Navy so he could fly jets. "We processed him right away," said Lt. Bob Coburn of the U.S. Navy. FIFTEEN YEARS ago, it seemed like long hair and bell bottoms would never be replaced by crew cuts and uniforms. The pendulum may not have swung back all the way, but the romanticization of the military has resulted in a resurgence of interest in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). It might be that we all want to be like Tom Cruise, fulfilling a thirst for adventure by screaming across the sky in an aerial roller coaster at twice the speed of sound. At least some of us do, Coburn says. THE PSEUDO-TOM Cruises may be partially responsible for the growth of the number of new enlistments, but about half the students in the programs are also attracted by scholarships that pay for tuition, books, a uniform allowance, and $100-a-month spending money. "It's a good deal. I get an education and in return the Navy gets an officer," said engin- eering sophomore Marty Frierson, a Naval ROTC cadet. "People tend to forget that those of us in uniform are the ones who protect their right to complain."
