Speaker condemns Piiwchet By HENRY PARK A human rights lawyer working in Chile told an audience of 25 at the Friends House Friday night that she had to return to the United States a month ago because of threats against her life. Jane Rasmussen said anonymous callers had told her the death of a friend run over by a car was not an accident. She said she also found a death threat written in her address book. , ACCORDING TO Rasmussen, a neighbor of hers was beaten by. secret police and shown a photo of Rasmussen as part of an investigation. Later, members of the secret police and the foreign ministry paid a call to Rasmussen's house while she was not there. Referring to the incidents, she said "It's nothing that extraordinary. The Chilean people have it much worse." But she admitted that the Pinochet regime-which has governed .Chile since a coup in 1973-regime succeeded in making her "afraid in an overall spiritual sense." Rasmussen focused her talk on the political and human rights situation in Chile and raised her own case in the question and answer period. An assasination attempt two weeks ago against General Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean leader, focused world attention on the country and led to a crackdown against dissidents. ONE WOMAN in the audience who identified herself as Chilean criticized Rasmussen for presenting the situation in Chile as polarized and suggested that centrist groups do have support in Chile. "We have to recognize that the Christian Democrats are part of the opposition to Pinochet," the woman said. Rasmussen responded by saying that "Pinochet's intransigence. . . is destroying the program of the Christian Democrats." Both Rasmussen and her questioner agreed that the United States is pressuring the Christian Democrats to stay away from the coalition of the Socialist Party, Communist Party, and the MIR, a revolutionary group. According to Rasmussen, "what the United States is afraid of is the Left. . . . If there were fair, free elections, there's a good chance it would win.. . as it did in 1970." Rasmussen predicted that the United States government would promote a "Duarte-style solution"-like El Salvador-with a right-wing Christian Democrat to replace Pinochet in the coming six months. She says she became absorbed in Chilean politics after her husband, a native of Chile, was detained by the police and later showed her evidence of torture all over his body. She later worked on a successful campaign to release her husband the second time he was detained by secret police. Currently, Rasmussen is working to establish a group called ChiletAid that includes actors from the movie "Missing." By STEVE KNOPPER The new student football ticket sale policy has crippled the scalping business, scalpers in front of the Union said Friday. Scalping "has been tough so far," said Toby Redd, a seventh- year scalper. "This year is the hardest year." UNDER Under the new policy, students who fail to produce their entire book of season tickets along with a seating pass will be denied access to the stadium. Consequently students and scalpers must sell student tickets in packages of six, or sell individual non-student tickets. The policy was not specifically designed to reduce scalping, although it puts scalpers at an obvious disadvantage. Many non-students who previously purchased tickets from scalpers had demanded to sit in the seat printed on their ticket. Since students are accustomed to sitting wherever they wish, however, conflicts were frequent. The new system cuts down the number of non-students sitting in the student section. Assistant Ticket Sales Manager Steve Lambright said "with scalping, you're getting people (non-students) in sections where they don't belong. We want to protect the students that want to see the game." ACCORDING to Redd, student tickets could be purchased last year for $5 and sold for $20. This year, packages of student tickets cost $48, and Redd sells them for $100. He said he buys non-student tickets for $15 to $20 and sells them for $30 to $35. The University sells season tickets for $48 to students, $96 for non-students, and $16 each for the general public. "The new system stinks," said veteran scalper William Bell, adding that scalpers, students, and families are "losing" because of it. Students are losing, Bell said, because scalped tickets are too expensive, and families are losing because they, often "depend on scalpers" to get tickets. POLICE NOTES Police investigate fire Ann Arbor fire officials are investigating an apparent arson that damaged two bulletin boards in the main lobby of West Quad early Friday morning, according to Batallion Chief Charles Torrey of the Ann Arbor Fire Department. Torrey said the building was evacuated after a fire alarm sounded at 3:09 a.m. A student extinguished the flames before fire officials arrived. -Melissa B irks 128K-512K $179 512K-1024K $259 128K-1024K $389 1 80 Day varranty ogg yA gySLrefr PHONE 747-6629 LEAVE MESSAGE for games.

Civilians transport nuclear cargo WASHINGTON (AP)-The Navy uses at least two cargo ships sailed by civilian crews transport nuclear missiles across the Atlantic, according to public documents and sources. The ships, assigned to the Military Sealift Command, have been given the job of ferrying ballistic missiles of the type deployed on submarines to and from various sub bases-primarily Charleston, S.C., King's Bay, Ga., and Holy Loch, Scotland. Defense analysts who specialize in the study of nuclear weapons say such movements are not unusual because of the United States' emphasis on frequent inspections to ensure safety and reliability. The role, of the Military Sealift Command in such transport work, however, is largely unknown and belies the common perception that nuclear weapons assigned to the Navy are handled only by active-duty personnel. And unlike the cargo ships or ammunition ships that are accompanied by Navy battle groups, MSC ships frequently sail the oceans without escort by armed warships. "Most people don't realize how often we move nuclear weapons," says William Arkin, an analyst with the Institute for Policy Studies, a liberal Washington think tank. "It's a daily event because of maintenance requirements, safety checks, upgrades and replacements with new weaponry." Missiles such as the Trident deployed on Ohio-class submarines and Posiedon on older subs are too large to make aerial transport feasible, added Navy officials who requested anonymity. Navy literature states the cargo ships always carry a small detail of seven to 10 active-duty sailors responsible for communications and security. Navy sources say the vessels also rely on the anonymity that accompanies their outward qppearance as standard cargo ships and the Navy's policy of never confirming nor denying the presence of nuclear weapons. The vessels are carefully tracked during their voyages and are in constant communication with Navy facilities. SACUA Writes report on sex at 'U' (Continued from Page 1) adamantly opposes the statement, saying, "I would have gone along with the majority if they had not had the clause about 'consenting adults.' That clause is a violation of an individual's right to promote his or her own happiness. I think that what that statement says is that a TA and a professor falling in love, getting married, and living happily ever after is not an alternative. I don't agree with that." Both Moerman and Easley, however, contend that what may seem like a consenting relationship may actually be coercive or exploitative.
