Pursell: Baker 'not doing his homework'

By ROB EARLE
Even though U.S. Rep. Carl.
Pursell and his Democratic
opponent Dean Baker shook hands
before their televised debate last
night, the following hour proved
anything but friendly.
In the debate, sponsored by the
several local chapters of the League
of Women Voters, Baker and
Pursell (R-Mich.) used much of the
time slotted for questions from the
league to respond to each other's
attacks. The _ two men are
congressional candidates from
Michigan's 2nd District.
Baker constantly attacked
Pursell's voting record in Congress,
and Pursell responded by accusing
Baker of "not doing his
homework." When Pursell said he
supported funding for SDI research,
but not testing or deployment,

Baker said the five-term incumbent
had "backed down." Baker accused
his opponent of supporting testing
and deployment to give President
Reagan bargaining power at this
month's U.S.-Soviet summit in
Iceland.
P U R S E L L said he opposes
Baker's support for large cuts in
military spending. "I'm getting
concerned my opponent wants to
unilaterally disarm," he said.
He also attacked Baker's stance
on aid to groups like the
Nicaraguan Contras, who Baker
says are terrorists supported by the
United States. "To suggest that is
absolute folly," Pursell said.
When asked questions by League
of Women Voters state president
Nancy White, moderator of the
debate, the candidates often prefaced

U.S. expels 55 Soviet diplomats

WASHINGTON (AP)-The Reagan admi-
nistration yesterday ordered 55 Soviet diplomats
to leave the country within nine days, but said
it hoped the action would not sour the prospects
for arms control.
Five of the diplomats were declared "persona
non grata" in retaliation for the earlier
expulsion of five U.S. diplomats from Mos-
cow. The additional 50 were ordered out to
bring the Soviet embassy staff in Washington
and consulate staff in San Francisco "to parity"
with the size of the U.S. contingent in Moscow
and Leningrad.
State Department spokesman Charles

Redman announced the massive retaliation with
"regrets," but said it was forced on the admin-
istration by the Soviet Union.
Redman also sought to assure Moscow that
the United States did not want to lose the
momentum achieved at President Reagan's
summit meeting in Iceland with Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev.
"We remain committed to pursuing the
dialogue stemming from the Reykjavik meeting
in all areas of our relationship," he said. "This
problem of espionage is an important one, but
it is a separate problem, and-our plan in to go
ahead with the dialogue."

Under the new ceiling, required by Congress
last year, the Soviets will be permitted to have
no more then 225 people at their embassy in
Washington and no - more than 26 at the
consulate in San Francisco.
This matches the expulsion of the five,
Americans from Moscow for what the Soviets
Sunday called "impermissible activities."
In Moscow, Gennady Gerasimov, a
spokesperson for the Soviet Foreign Ministry,
said "if the United States will insist on
continuing this game of tit-for-tat, then this can
continue indefinitely. We-consider it is time to
stop.,'

Columns
have
unique
history
By TODD KEELER
Two pillars of the University
community have stood majestically
for more than 50 years in the garden
between Lorch Hall and the
business school, and students,
faculty members, and administrators
have long pondered one simple
question: Why are they there?
There is a good reason.
THE TWO columns were
moved to what used to be the Art
and Architecture Building in the
1930s under the direction of Emil
Lorch, formerly the dean of the
School of Architecture, to beautify
the garden and "to illustrate
something of historical and
architectural form totally unfamiliar
to most students upon admission,"
Lorch wrote in 1936.
Lorch brought the columns to
show students examples of the
Classical Greek style. One of the
fragments, a Corinthian pedestal,
was presented to the University by
Col. William Starrett, an 1897
graduate.
The column, which stands two
stories tall, is one of the, few

IBM follows GM out of Africa

NEW YORK (AP)-IBM announced plans yesterday
to sell its South African subsidiary, joining General
Motors Corporation in two days to pull out of the
politically and economically battered nation.
International Business Machines Corp., the world's
biggest computer company, said the worsening eco -
nomic and political climate in the racially divided
nation prompted its decision to sell IBM South Africa
to local interests.
"WE consistently have said that IBM would remain in
South Africa as long as we could maintain an
onomically sound business and contribute to peaceful
xchange," Chairman John Akersa said in a statement

issued from IBM's headquarters in Armonk, N.Y.
"Unfortunately, the deteriorating political and
economic situation in South Africa between South
Africa and its trading partners mpkes our action ne -
cessary," the statement said.
IBM's statement followed Monday's announcement
by GM that it would sell its South African operations
to local management because economic and political
pressures made it unlikely the unit could reverse several
years of losses.
IBM South Africa employs fewer than 1,500
people, 23 percent of them non-white, said Richard
