Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 22, 1986 Nicaraguans blast U.S. at trial MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)--- The Sandinista government opened its case against Eugene Hasenfus, the first American captured in the Washington-backed rebel war, with a scathing review of the history of U.S.-Nicaraguan relations. No details of the government's evidence against Hasenfus were revealed in the 14-page accusation read Monday in a "People's Tribunal" that specializes in judging those charged with coun- terrevolutionary acts. - In a sweltering courtroom packed with reporters, Hasenfus sat stonily Ozone lay WASHINGTON (AP)--Wha- tever is causing protective ozone to disappear over the South Pole probably isn't the sun and the wind, according to scientists on the frozen continent. They said Monday they believe a chemical process is behind the puzzling, recently discovered drop in ozone concentrations every October. But they are not ready to at a table with court president Reynaldo Monterrey. He listened as he was formally charge with terrorism, criminal association, and violating the public order and security on behalf of the U.S. government. "I have nothing to say until I talk with my lawyer," said Has - enfus, dressed in a black T-shirt, dirty blue jeans, and combat boots without laces, after the accusation was read first in Spanish, then in English. The 45-year-old American from Marinette, Wis. was captured Oct. 6 after Sandinista soldiers shot down a C-123 military transport plane carrying supplies to rebels fighting the leftist Sandinista government. Two other Americans and a third man, still unidentified, were killed. Hasenfus, who met for the first time with defense attorney Enrique Botelo Borgen after the session, has two days to enter a plea. The lawyer said he would ask per- mission to talk with his client again today. Justice Minister Rodrigo Reyes gave the court a four-page document. identified as Hasenfus' confession, as well as a recommendation that the American be sentenced to 30 years in prison, the maximum penalty for the charges. "In flying over Nicaraguan territory with the object of supplying forces financed and directed by the North American government who act against the legally constituted government of Nicaragua...(Hasenfus) is carrying out acts that impair the independence, the sovereignty, and the integrity of the nation," said the accusation read by Monterrey. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS U. S. vows military strength WASHINGTON-President Reagan, expressing confidence the United States and theSoviet Union will reach an arms agreement, pledged yesterday during a visit by West German Chancellor Helmut: Kohl that the accord will be based on allied strength and not "weaknes: or timidity." Reagan greeted Kohl at an elaborate welcoming ceremony on the White House South Lawn, and both said that Reagan's meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Iceland provided the basis for further nuclear arms reduction talks. "When the next agreement is finally reached with the Soviet. Union-and I say when, not if-it will not be the result of weakness dr timidity on the part of Western nations," Reagan promised. "It will flow from strength, realism, and unity." Kohl has said he would oppose ay agreement that would leave Europe vulnerable to the overwhelmingly superior conventional forces: of the Soviet bloc. American abducted in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon-An underground group yesterday claimed it. kidnapped a 56-year-old American and alleged he worked for the CIA anil the Israeli secret service. The United States denied the charges. The Revolutionary Justice Organization, a group believed made up of Shiite Moslems loyal to Iran, identified the hostage as Edward Tracy of Vermont. If Tracy's abduction is confirmed, he would be the seventh American missing in Lebanon. The Revolutionary Justice Organization claims tp hold one of the previous American kidnap victims. The group made its claim in a handwritten note in Arabic delivered, to the Beirut office of a Western news agency. The statement was accompanied by a photograph of Tracy and a photocopy of his passport. The white-haired Tracy writes illustrated children's books. He was one of the fewer than a dozen Americans who remained in west Beirut after the latest exodus of foreigners in April. er depletion puzzles s blame man-made chemicals yet.

The ozone dropoff also appears to be occurring over the North Pole, another study has shown. The formation of ozone-a pollutant at ground level-by ultra- violet rays high in the atmosphere keeps most of those rays from reaching the surface of the Earth, where they could be deadly to some life forms. The Environmental year. In a telephone hookup from the U.S. base at McMurdo Sound to a news conference sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Susan Solomon, leader of a special expedition to study the October ozone drop in Antarctica, said she was "more concerned" than she had been before the expedition, because science has been "unable to come up with an explanation." But she said her group believes it can rule out two theories put forward to compete with the chemical theory. One of those two theories proposes that the 11-year solar cycle is somehow responsible, through triggering chemical re- actions that have a cumulative effect. This would explain why the Antarctic "hole" did not appear before the mid-1970's." The other postulates that slight changes in wind patterns resulting in an upward movement of air scientists masses could be responsible. The leading competitor of these two theories states that chloro- flourocarbon compounds used as refrigeration fluids are deleting ozone around the globe, through the release of chlorine from these long- lived molecules when they reach high altitudes. One problem is that none of the several computer models used by scientists who believe this theory predicted the October Antarctic "hole"-which is actually about a 40 percent decline in ozone concentration over much of the continent. If the solar cycle were driving ozone down, large amounts of nitrogen dioxide should be found at altitudes where the ozone is disappearing-but "the nitrogen dioxide abundances inside the ozone hole are the lowest we have observed anywhere in the world," said Solomon, a chemist at the Boulder, Colo., lab of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad- ministration. Oil ministers reach accord 4 GENEVA-OPEC leaders, weary on the 16th day of talks, debated a new compromise on oil production controls yesterday that could clear the final obstacle to a full agreement aimed at preventing another price drop. After 24 hours of nearly continuous backroom bargaining, the ministers produced a series of proposals that sources said had broken, a, key logjam. The 13 ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries were trying to agree on conditions under which they would .extend an existing accord on production controls until Dec. 31. The current accord expires Oct. 31. Analysts said an extension of the accord through year's end would at least keep oil prices from falling. The key dispute centered on Kuwait's demand for a 10 percent increase in its production quota starting Nov. 1. Several members argued that Kuwait was one of the wealthiest OPEC nations and that any production increases should be given to needier members. I.

Oct. 230* 7:30 p.m. Hillel Auditorium 1429 Hill Street * 663-3336 By WENDY SHARP One member of the committee that is reviewing the University's honorary degree policy has refused to agree to keep the committee's work secret. Robert Malchman, a first-year law student, was the only one of the eight committee members who refused to swear the committee's work to secrecy last Friday. Malchman said he refused because he wants to abide by the constitution of the Michigan. Student Assembly. THE ASSEMBLY appointed Malchman and LSA senior Joseph Kraus to the committee. According to the MSA constitution, appointees must report their committee work to MSA, and Malchman said the confidentiality agreement prevents him doing this. Rackham graduate school Dean John D'Arms, chairman of the committee, refused to comment about Malchman's decision or the effect it would have on the committee's progress. Other committee members could not be reached or refused to comment about Malchman's decision. The ad hoc committee was formed April 18 by the Board of Regents to review the University's current procedures for awarding honorary degrees. The committee, which consists of both students and faculty, is scheduled to submit its recommendations to University President Harold Shapiro by the end of this term. IN ADDITION to problems with MSA's constitution, Malchman said he has personal reservations about closed meetings. "In general, I don't think that committee meetings that discuss University policy should be closed," he said. MSA bylaws state that "each liason person shall submit to the assembly written reports of the activities of their committees. . and shall also submit reports on matters under the purview of their committee whenever requested to do so by the assembly." The bylaws also state that MSA may request that a committee member provide copies of all committee materials. MSA last week requested that the ad hoc committee provide the assembly with a statement of the committee's purpose, a list of its members, provisions for holding open hearings or forums, a general summary of its meetings, and an explanation of why the committee meetings were closed. The resolution said MSA recognizes that "a degree of confidentiality may be necessary for certain aspects of the review process." SOME information about the committee-its specific purpose and its membership-are already public. D'Arms said he favors providing MSA with summaries of meetings and setting up some open hearings or forums. He added, however, that the commitee will have the final say. D'Arms said meetings were closed by an internal committee decision and the secrecy agreement allows for "free and frank committee exchange.' Malchman said he would agree to the confidentiality pact if the committee accepts MSA's resolution. "As long as MSA is happy and the committee will agree to their resolution, then I'm going to agree," he said. Bad weather, pilot error caused Mozambican crash JOHANNESBURG, South Africa-Pilot error and bad weather probably caused the plane crash that killed Mozambique President Samora Machel and 33 other people, newspapers here said yesterday:: But Zambia's president blamed South Africa for the crash. Marcelino dos Santos, No. 2 in Mozambiques's ruling FRELIMO party and considered a possible successor, said the plane went down "in circumstances not yet clarified." South African-backed rebels fighting Mozambique's Marxist government said from Lisbon that they had "no sorrow" over Machel's death. South African newspapers quoted the injured Soviet pilot a saying he believed he was shot down, but the papers said pilot error and weather apparently caused the crash. Machel's presidential plane plowed into a slope just 200 yards inside South Africa, about 45 miles west of Maputo, the Mozambique capital. He was returning from a summit in Zambia, where he had met with Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda and other black heads of state. I Hifi HEALTH & FITNESS Miths feast on Mich. trees BROOMALL, Pa.-Gypsy moths have destroyed 61,000 acres of Michigan trees this year, fourth among states that reported damages from the leaf-eating insect, a federal official said yesterday. The moths destroyed 2.4 million acres of trees in the Northeast, an increase of 600,000 acres over last year, said Bob Wolfe, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The increase was part of a normal cyclical upswing in the gypsy moth's population and defoliation, Wolfe said. The number of moths and the number of acres defoliated has been climbing since the cycle reached its ebb in 1984, when 1 million acres were devoured throughout the northeastern United States, he said. "We had a real high population level ip 1981, with 12 million acres defoliated, then we had a period of population decine," Wolfe said. "I expect if the trend holds true, next year we'll have slightly more than this year."
