"What was your reaction when you learned that a
Soviet nuclear'submarine was on fire in the

Lisa Lanning, LSA

panicked,'what are they
doing here?' Then I heard
it was in international

Now it seems they have
taken care of it.

IN BRIEF
COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS
Reagan pushes Star Wars,
Soviet missile cutback
WASHINGTON-President Reagan intends to stand firm on his
"Star Wars" plan and urge an 80 percent slash in Soviet nuclear
missiles in Asia at his meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev in Iceland, an
administration official said yesterday.
If the Soviet leader agrees to make concessions on the missiles,
Reagan and Gorbachev probably will emerge from their session in
Reykjavik this weekend with a framework for a treaty to sharply
reduce U.S. and Soviet nuclear missiles in Europe, the official said.
Also, the president and the general secretary are likely to set a date
for a full-scale summit meeting in Washington in December, said the
official, who demanded anonymity.
But Reagan does not intend to negotiate with Gorbachev about the
U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative, known popularly as Star Wars, and
he is not expected to make much headway with the Soviet leader
toward reducing long-range U.S. and Soviet nuclear weapons.
The State Department advised the president to seek a compromise
with Gorbachev on their views of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile
Treaty, the official said, but Reagan rejected the advice.
Wife of U.S. hostage offers
mediation in Beirut crisis
BEIRUT, LEBANON-The wife of hostage Thomas Sutherland,
saying she understands both sides, offered yesterday to mediate
between the Reagan administration and Islamic Jihad for the release of
her husband and two other kidnapped Americans.
Jean Sutherland said she believed the timing for negotiations was
right because she "sensed a clear readiness by the two sides to discuss
the demands and conditions" for the release of the captives.
In an Arabic-language statement, Mrs. Sutherland appealed to
Islamic Jihad to contact her through a post office box or to call her at
her home or at work at the American University of Beirut, where she
teaches English.
"I am willing to act as a person to offer my good offices because I
feel I know and can understand the positions and feelings of both
parties," she said in her statement.
"I am willing to do anything I can to facilitate the dialogue which
it does seem to me at this point both sides are ready to have," she
said.
Senate denies Claiborne trial
WASHINGTON-The Senate voted yesterday against allowing a
full-dress impeachment trial for Harry Claiborne, provoking the
judge's lawyer to mount a full-court press to get the decision reversed.
After 2 1/2 hours of closed-door debate, the senators voted 61-32
for a motion by Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) that no witnesses
be summoned to the Senate chamber as the Nevada judge had
requested.
The vote, a setback for the convicted tax evader, appeared to clear
the way for deliberations today on four articles of impeachment voted
against Claiborne by the House. Dole said he expected a vote on
conviction to follow.
A two-thirds vote on any article would make Claiborne the fifth
federal official in the nation's history to be removed from office in a
Senate impeachment trial. All have been judges.
Shortly after the Senate vote, Claiborne attorney Oscar Goodman
appeared at the federal courthouse three blocks from the Capitol to file
a suit seeking a full-blown'Senate trial.
AIDS victmizes blacks
EAST LANSING-The percentage of Michigan blacks inflicted
with the deadly disease AIDS is proportionately much higher than that
of other races, state Public Health Director Gloria Smith warned
yesterday.
Smith said statistics indicate 43 percent of Michigan's AIDS
victims are black, more than three times the percentage of blacks in
the state's overall population.
"As I work in the black community they're always amazed at that
statistic," Smith said.
"They're feeling quite comfortable AIDS is not a black problem."
Smith, who is black, said her warning was aimed at alerting the
black community that it is not immune from the incurable virus
which preys mostly on homosexuals and drug users.
She said health officials have been unable to find an explanation for
the increased incidence of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
among blacks, but speculated that it was probably due to the
concentration of blacks in urban areas, where the disease seems to be
most prevalent.
House passes 'Superfund'
WASHINGTON (AP)-The House overwhelmingly passed the
broadly supported $9 billion "Superfund" renewal bill yesterday,
completing congressional action on major environmental legislation
that the White House is threatening to veto.

The toxic-waste cleanup bill headed toward President Reagan's desk
after a 386-27 roll call in the House, giving the measure nearly 100
votes more than would be needed to override any veto.
During the debate, a parade of House members from both parties-
urged Reagan to sign the legilation. A veto, said Rep. Norman Lent
(R-N.Y.), "would be a grave error."
Shortly before the House action, Sen. Robert Packwood (R-Ore.) and
80 other senators-35 of them Republicans-wrote Reagan, urging
him to sign the bill despite administration opposition to some of its
tax provisions.

les Ifollov
By FRANCIE ALLEN
University History of Art Prof.
Calvin French died Monday at his
home in Ann Arbor after a year-
long illness. He was 52.
Faculty and students remember
French, an Asian art expert, as a
friend as well as teacher and
colleague. David Huntington,
chairman of the Department of
History of Art, said, "I think he
was regarded as an inspired and
inspiring teacher. . . he will be
sorely missed by many."
FRENC H published
extensively, lectured widely, and
organized many exhibitions at the
University Museum of Art,
including shows on Japenese artist
Buson and his followers, early
Western-style art in Japan, and a
book on Shiba Kokan, a Japanese
artist who had introduced many
western artistic techniques to Japan.
Huntington said French "was
admired not just for what he
accomplished but also for what he
was. Those who knew Professor
French through his long illness

vin ille
will always remember the man for
the courage and grace which
characterized him to the very end."
French had taught at the
University since 1964.
FRENCH oversaw 20 student
dissertations, the most dissertation
students of any Japanese art history
professor in the country, according
to Paul Berry, a visiting professor
who substituted for French. French
also helped them get grants and
plan articles and exhibitions.
Eleanor Mannikka, Associate
Art Curator in the history of art
department, said French's students
have been telephoning French's
acquaintances and former students as
far away as Japan to notify them of
his death.
French, a native of Lowell,
Mass., graduated from Phillips
Exeter Academy, received a B.A,
from Brown University, and an
M.A. and Ph. D. from Columbia
University. He se'rved in the
military as a microwave technician
in Japan.
