Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 28, 1986 1 Shapiro holds open house By ANDY MILLS Cookies, cider, and strains from a jazz quartet made people feel right at home in University President Harold Shapiro's house yesterday. Hundreds of visitors, mostly stu- dents, turned out for the annual open house held by Shapiro and his wife, Vivian. The 90-minute open house at 815 South University was, com- pared to last year, a calm event. Last year, students voiced op- position to the proposed Code of Non-academic conduct and to CIA recruitment on campus at a forum on the president's lawn. Con- troversy was virtually absent from yesterday's festivities. After shaking hands with President and Mrs. Shapiro, most students proceeded almost im- mediately to the dining room for donuts, cookies, pretzels, and apple cider. Many visitors scanned the bookshelves in the library and in Shapiro's private study, walked in the spacious backyard, or shot some pool in the presidential recreation room. Shapiro said the open house progressed without a hitch. Al- though people were crammed into rooms and roamed through much of the house, they caused no damage, he said. Shapiro said he opens up his house to meet students, let them see his house, and let them have a good time. According to LSA senior George Hall, who came to the open house because he had never seen the interior before, the presidential resi- dence "is gorgeous. It's a palace." Judging from the bookshelves, the Shapiros have a wide range of interests. Their collection contained books about such topics as organic chemistry, J.R.R. Tolkien, and economics-the president's spec- ialty. A folded up Burger King crown was found tucked among the many volumes in the library. Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson and James Duderstadt, vice president for academic affairs and provost were also on hand to talk to students. Most of the conversation focused on mundane rather than con- troversial topics, such as students' majors, their hometowns, dorms. LSA sophomore Joe Sola, however, hoped to talk to Shapiro about the stability of the economics department, because he is con- sidering an economics major. Sola feels that, owing primarily to class size, the quality of education in the economics department is "not to the fullest potential compared to other departments of the University." Disabled students criticize U, service (Continued from Page 1) Corby was aided by a work study student until last May, but a work study student has not been hired since then because of financial constraints, according to Roselle Wilson, assistant to the vice president for student services. When a year passed and no director was hired, Corby returned to her position of secretary and lost her raise- but she continued to run the Office of Disabled Student Services. University policy forbids temporary title changes and salary hikes to last longer than one year. Disabled student services will operate out of the Office of Student Services when Corby leaves. WILSON SAID it has taken so long to fill the position because the pay is low. "There are quite a number of qualified applicants. The job classification does not allow us to offer enough salary to people of the level of experience that we would like to have," said Wilson. An applicant was offered the position last summer, but he rejected the offer because the salary was insufficient, Corby said. Wilson said the quality of disabled student services has not suffered since the director left. "I don't think it has damaged the program, but you don't run a business in terms of how little damage is done," said Wilson. She said the quality of the service has been maintained as a result of "Debra's diligence and deter- mination." "BUT WE were not able to take new initiatives, design new provide advocacy for students and the office itself," Campbell said. DOUG THOMPSON, an LSA senior who is blind, said the University did not treat Corby fairly by paying her a secretary's salary and charging her with a director's responsibilities. "She's not been paid for the load put on her and I think we've lost her because of it," he said. Thompson accused Wilson of shirking her responsibilities to disabled students. "When Dr. Wilson is asked about the lack of services she points to the empty chair of the director and says, 'It's not my responsibility."'

However, Gorbachev said there was room for negotiation on arms control, despite the breakdown of his talks in Iceland with President Ronald Reagan. His comments came in a statement issued through the Tass news agency that was addressed to the organizers of a writers' meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria. Tass said the writers asked Gorbachev for his vision of the future of mankind. The Communist Party general secretary said arms control was the main priority of Kremlin foreign policy, citing his government's 14 1/2- month-old moratorium on nuclear weapons tests. "At the recent meeting with the U.S. president in Reykjavik, the Soviet side put on the table the text of inter-linked proposals" on arms control, Gorbachev said. FBI nabs ex-Air Force man for selling secrets to Soviets SAN FRANCISCO-A disgruntled former Air Force man was arrested yesterday and charged with trying to deliver secrets about an Air Force reconnaissance program to the Soviet Union, authorities said. Allen John Davies of San Jose, a naturalized American citizen who works for Ford Aerospace & Communications Corp., was arrested by FBI agents in Palo Alto, south of San Francisco, said U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello. The charge is punishable by up to life in prison. On Sept. 22, Davies met with an undercover agent who posed as a representative of the Soviet consulate in San Francisco and offered information about the Air Force program, according to a sworn statement. by an FBI agent filed in federal court. Davies said he was providing the information "out of revenge because of the unfair way he was treated while in the Air Force," the agent said. Reagan signs anti-drug law WASHINGTON-President Reagan, declaring a "major victory" in the battle against drugs, signed a $1.7 billion anti-drug law yesterday to bolster local and federal law enforcement efforts, stiffen criminal penalties for drug traffickers and launch an educational and medical campaign aimed at reducing user demand. The comprehensive measure contains $200 million for information programs and $241 million for treatment, as well as $230 million in' grants to local law enforcement agencies. The bill was passed in the waning hours of Congress Oct. 17 after some proponents gave in on a demand for a death penalty in murder cases related to drugs. That provision threatened to scuttle the bill in the Senate, where opponents of the death penalty were prepared to wage' a filibuster. Religious leaders meet in Italy% ASSISI, Italy-Bearing olive branches and offering prayers, Pope John Paul II and other leaders of great world religions, from Moslems and Jews to fire-worshipping Zoroastrians, solemnly pledged yesterday to work for peace. The pope, summing up the resolve of his religious colleagues, urged world leaders to fashion "strategies of pe, t courage and vision." The Dalai Lama, exiled Buddhist god-king of Tibet, called the historic gathering in Assisi, hill-town birthplace of St. Francis, a recognition of the "indispensable spiritual dimension" in efforts to end war. And the efforts had an immediate, if temporary, impact in far corners of a war-torn globe. Warring parties in a dozen countries, including Nicaragua, El Salvador and Cambodia, acceded to the pope's appel that combatants lay down their arms for 24 hours Monday. Personal incomes rise 1.4 % WASHINGTON-Americans' personal incomes rose a modest 1.4 percent in the spring as overall income growth was held back by hard in energy states and layoffs in the auto industry, the government reported yesterday. The Commerce Department said residents of six states actually suffered declines in incomes during the April-June quarter. The hardest hit region of the country was the Southwest, where incomes grew by just 0.8 percent in the second quarter. Analysts blamed the weakness on widespread layoffs in the oil and gas industry caused by slumping petroleum prices. The Plains states enjoyed the biggest income gain; a 5.2 percent increase paced by double-digit advances in North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska. These gains came from big rises in government subsidy payments to farmers. Without the boost in government aid, farm income would have fallen during the spring quarter, analysts said. The 1.4 percent nationwide gain nearly matched a 1.5 percent rise in the first three months of the year.

No official deadline exists to find a new director, but Wilson would like to see the position filled as soon as possible. "I would have liked to have had someone in here six months ago, but things didn't work as I thought they would," she said. Melinda Campbell, a second year graduate student in the School of Social Work who is visually impaired, said, "I think there's a lot of things that should be done that are a director's responsibility. Debbie was maintaining a lot of basic day to day services. However, there was no director evaluating the success-failure service delivery, to assess disabled students' needs, develop new programs that may have been appropriate, and to ology who has cerebral palsy agreed that there has not been a decline in disabled student services, but stressed the importance of finding a director. "Here's an organization that hasn't found a director in over a year. It means they don't put much importance on the organization. This is the impression I have. This is very sad, " she said. Corby will be leaving her secretarial position to work for a computer software and hardware firm based in Plymouth because it is a "better opportunity," she said. She said she was satisfied with the compensation she received as student service administrator and was treated fairly by the University, but added, "It would have been nice to have someone in here right away."

According to Deborah Town- send, a spokeswoman for Lucas, the campaign is attempting to reverse this trend by mobilizing state Republican leaders drum up support for Lucas in the party. "A lot of Republicans at this point look like they're going over to Blanchard and we hope it won't come true," Townsend said. "We 609 E.

Carl Levin. Lousma said the polls were "very misleading" in reporting that he lagged 20 per- centage points behind Levin in public support. Levin won by a margin of only 4 percent. "THESE KINDS of pro- nouncements early in the campaign damaged our campaign," Lousma said. After the polls had been published, he said, private financial support as well as public support began to drop. "Nobody wants to support somebody they think is going to lose," he said. Townsend agreed that the polls may have caused Lousma's popular support to wane. "Everybody relied on the polls. Lousma tended to get abandoned there towards the end," she said. '"We fear the same danger might be happening with the Lucas campaign." To illustrate that polls can be misleading, Lousma cited a recent canvass of Washtenaw county conducted by the Ann Arbor Re- publican headquarters. The results show 30 percent of 3,000 registered voters back Lucas, 37 percent oppose him, and 33 percent remain undecided.
