German -musi cus visit A2
By PHILIP I. LEVY
State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann
Arbor) presented three films
showing different views on abortion
last night to a crowd of more than
100 people. But the showing was
devoid of the protests and lively
discussion that accompanied last
spring's showing of the same
material.
The first of the three films was
Personal Decisions, a half-hour
film that shows women discussing
their decisions to have abortions. In
the second, the 1984 film The
Silent Scream, a doctor describes
the process of an abortion. The
final film was Planned Parenthood's
Response to The Silent Scream , in
which doctors from the University
of Washington attack the
objectivity and accuracy of the film.
BULLARD, A STRONG
advocate of a women's right to
choose whether or not to have an
abortion, is facing Republican Vic
Holtz in the campaign for the 53rd
District seat. Holtz is against
abortion.
Bullard said abortion is an
election issue. The debate over
Medicaid funds for abortions led to
Gov. James Blanchard's vetoing of
legislation to disallow the Medicaid
funding. The vetoes have come
close to being overridden.
The last time the issue came
before the House, Bullard said,
abortion funding passed by only a
few votes. "There is a clear choice
in my election," he said. "My
opponent, for the first time that I
can remember, is against a
woman's right to choose whether to
have an abortion." Bullard said the
issue will come before the
Michigan house again on Nov. 15.
THE AUDIENCE seemed,
for the most part, to be "pro-
choice." Carolyn Slivka, an LSA
senior said, "I'm glad they showed
all three, and introduced The Silent
Scream with a pro-choice film."
Slivka, who described herself as a
feminist and pro-choice, thought
that some of the material in The
Silent Scream was "untrue and
misleading."
Ratnesh Nagda, also an LSA
senior, agreed and said that the film
tried to instill "too strong a fear" in
people.
One group of audience-members
applauded loudly and persistently
after The Silent Scream but most
left before the response and
discussion. One member of that
group, Andy Cavanaugh, an Ann
Arbor resident, stayed until the end.
He said the people were part of "an
area Christian group with national
ties." He refused to be more
specific, fearing that the group's
name would have negative
connotations and publicity could
GRADUATE
NURSES
By CARRIE LORANGER
Eighteen West German music
students arrived in Ann Arbor
Friday night from Tuebingen, West
Germany, for a week of
performances as part of Ann
{Arbor's Sister City program. The
students, guests of Mayor Ed
Pierce, will stay with local
families.
According to Isaac-Jacobin
Campbell, one of 16 members of
Pierce's hospitality committee, the
visit was arranged by Heinz von
Moisy, director of the Tuebingen
Brass and Percussion Ensemble.
UNIVERSITY MUSIC
school Prof. Michael Udow, said
that when von Moisy, visited Ann
Arbor in 1984, he decided to bring
his students back here to exchange
ideas about music and cultural
practices.
In addition to conducting his
own group, von Moisy will give a
clinic for Udow's students on
Wednesday, and will rehearse with a
group of University music school
students on Friday. Next month,
Professor Udow will visit von
Moisy in Tuebingen at the expense
of the West German government.
hurt it.
Cavanaguh said, "If The Silent
Scream is propoganda because it
uses language and graphics against,,
abortion, the Personal Decisions,,,
was propoganda too (because) it
tried to give the view that everyone
who had an abortion was happy
with it."
He said he is against abortiopn
because of his belief in "the Judeo-
Christian ethic" and because he
thinks the option of abortion leads;
people to engage in pre-marital sex,
which he considers morally wrong.
Cavanaugh thought the films
showed "the shallowness of the pro,
abortion people (and their) lack of a,
value system."
"It is a way of crossing our
cultures," said Udow.
The government of West
Germany is also subsidizing the
cost of this week's trip on the
condition that the ensemble
performs during its visit. The group
will be performing:
-Tuesday, Oct. 28. 7:00 p.m. at
Saline High School's annual
Halloween concert.
-Wednesday, Oct 29. 1:00 at the
Huron High School auditorium.
-Friday, Oct 31. 8:00 p.m. at
Schwaben Hall. The public is
encouraged to attend.
On Monday, the students will be
officially greeted by their host,
Mayor Pierce, at City Hall, while
on Thursday the group will visit
the Renaissance Center and Henry
Ford Museum in Detroit.
Ann Arbor celebrated its 20th
year of sisterhood with Tuebingen
last year when seven Tuebingen
city council members visited Ann
Arbor. According to Campbell,
Ann Arbor has not sent an official
delegation to Tuebingen in the last
five years, but citizens of
Tuebingen visit Ann Arbor
frequently as tourists as well as

Feminist
discusses
two -tiered
society
By DEBORAH SOBELOFF
Barbara Ehrenreich, the keynote
speaker at Friday's Union for
Radical Political Economics
conference, criticized the 30 percent
of today's college students who will
receive bdiness degrees. "Not only
is (busini~ss) paralyzingly dull, but
it will be of absolutely no use after
the fall of capitalism, " she
predicted.
Ehrenreich continued to tell the
appreciative crowd that college
students are anxious and deeply
scared about the future because they
know that if they want to enjoy
middle class lifestyles, they'll need
money to begin with.
EHRENREICH, A WELL
known feminist and co-chair of the
Democratic Socialists of America,
discussed "Class and Gender
Polarization in the U. S.:
Implications for the Future." She
said America has become a two-
tiered society, with a widening gap
between the rich and the poor. She
discussed this in terms of gender
and race.
Ehrenreich started her speech
with some campaigning by
endorsing candidate for Congress
Dean Baker. She read Rep. Carl
Pursell's (R-Second District)
campaign pamphlet which says
Baker is a member of the socialist
organization, supports a shorter
work week, and does not support
tax cuts for the rich. She said that
Pursell's attempts to smear Baker
actually workin reverse.
EHRENREICH CALLED
for national health insurance,
subsidized childcare, and income
support.
As a strong proponent for
women's rights, she refuted the
"myth" that women have achieved
equality and have nothing left to do.
She said two-thirds of impoverished
adults are women, and by 1990, if
trends continue, the entire poverty
population would consist of women
and their children.
Members of the audience showed
mixed reation to Ehrenreich's
radical views. "I think she was
pretty naive saying capitalism will
end. Radical politics like national
healthcare and guaranteed income
sound great, but it's just not going
to happen. It's hard to take
seriously solutions we can't
realistically hone for." said David
