Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 6, 1986 Inquiring [*TPhotographer By Scott Lituchy Question: "Does the two-party system offer you a real choice?" :I f' , I ; Richard Banks, Ann Arbor resident: I've never seen any need in having Democrats and Re- publicans. A person should run for what he believes in, not for a party. Julia Anderson, bio- logy grad student: There is only a limited choice because there is so much party politics. Tim Greenamyre, Ann Arbor resident: Not necessarily. We are locked into two parties, so the only people who have a chance of winning are the Democrats and the Republicans. Carol Fulgham, Ann Arbor resident: I don't think it makes a difference which pqrty you pick. They're going to do what- ever they want anyway. Bruce Roffi, Detroit resident: No. It's prob- ably all phoney, since all their responses are to big business, special interest, and money. I John Else, Ann Arbor resident: No. They're all the same. There's no dif- ference between the two parties. Stephanie Braxton, LSA freshman: Not really. Basically the only difference between the two parties is the party label. Herb Pfabe, Ann Arbor resident: I would say yes. Good, bad, or indif- ferent, at least there are two, although sometimes you must choose the lesser of two evils. Valorie Knobloch, LSA sophomore: I think that there is a little choice. They do have two distinct viewpoints on some things. It is important to have two parties with two viewpoints. John Philpot, Ann Arbor resident: No, there are only two names for the same thing. It's only the rich and famous that make a difference. They do what's in their best interest and the poor man doesn't have a say so. ;Ba of th enfor befor 6e ha new Rule to ban smoking in 'U' buildings (Continued from Pagei1) term. who asked to remain anonymous, lobbies, but now there are signs arbara MacAdam, acting head "This is a step we would have said, "It bothers me.

Secretary of State George Schultz, speaking at a 35-nation conference aimed at improving relations between East and West, said " a tragic human rights situation" existed in the Soviet Union and among its Eastern allies. He warned that arms control would falter unless the perceived abuses were corrected. "Arms control cannot exist as a process in isolation from other sources of tension in East-West relations," Shultz said in a stern speech. The Soviet foreign minister invited the 35 nations at the conference to send representatives to Moscow, to meet on problems of "human contact, information, culture and education." He lashed out at the United States, where "violations of human rights are of a systematic and massive nature." Waite says press hindered him LONDON-Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite said yesterday that British press speculation that he was acting on behalf of governments in his mission to free hostages in Lebanon had made his Middle East contacts nervous and could cost him his life. "There are certain speculative comments now moving around that perhaps Mr. Waite is used by or closely associated wsith governments," Waite, in a rare burst of anger, told reporters at London's Heathrow Airport. "Give me a break. It is your fellow journalist I am working for," he said, referring to Associated Press reporter Terry Anderson, one of six Americans still missing in Lebanon. Waite spoke after returning from West Germany where American David Jacobsen, released by his Lebanses captors Sudnay, was reunited with his family. Iran offers to help free U.S. hostages held in Lebanon NICOSIA, Cyprus-Two Iranian officials said yesterday that Tehran is willing to work for the release of American and French hostages in Lebanon in return for weapons, unfreezing of Iranian assets in the United States and freedom for political prisoners. But a third official, Prime Minister Hussein Musavi, said in a report broadcast by Tehran radio that there was no possibility of negotiating with the United States. Although Musavi seemed to rule out direct talks, his comments did not appear to contradict declarations by the other Iranian officials that a deal could be made. The difference in emphasis was seen as part of. growing internal struggle within the Iranian leadership. . Parliament speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani ridiculed a purported mission to Tehran by former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane and four other Americans to try to mend U.S.-Iranian relations. U.S. officials have not confirmed the mission. Coast Guard ups drug patrol Some U.S. Coast Guard units, taking a lead from their Southern cohorts, have beefed up patrols in search of illegal drugs on the Great Lakes, but have found little evidence of large-scale trafficking. Officials say they are cracking down on offenders who carry or use illegal drugs while boating on the world's largest group of freshwater lakes, as well as those trying to smuggle them across the border to or from Canada. "We're trying to get more presence on the water," said Lt. Christine Balboni, operations officer for the Coast Guard office in Detroit. "Hopefully it's a deterrent." Balboni, whose district includes western Lake Huron and western Lake Erie, said small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, hashish and various narcotics have been seized recently on the lakes. Rear Admiral Arnold Danielson, commander of the Ninth Coast Guard District encompassing all the Great Lakes, announced last month that the guard would increase cooperation with the U.S. Customs agencies and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. Prison director may be jailed DETROIT- A federal judge could order state Corrections Director Robert Brown Jr. to jail today for disobeying an order that he let women prisoners earn college credits as can male inmates, officials said. U.S. District Judge John Feikens has set a hearing for 1:30 P.M. today on a request that Brown and the Department of Corrections be held in contempt of Feikens' order in a class action suit brought by women inmates. " The judge is not happy with ua and he may send Bob to jail," prison spokeswoman Gail Light said Thursday. At issue is the department's failure to offer four-year college degree courses to inmates at the Florence Crane Women's Facility in Coldwater, Light said. The suit charged the Corrections Department with violating the constitutional rights of women prisoners by denying them equal oppportunities with male inmates for education and other programs.

Racine, Chicago, IL 60614 Students say the windowless, drab room in which they are allowed to smoke is uncomfortable, and it gets filled with smoke because librarians don't want to open the door. LSA junior Karen Hellow, a non-smoker, is glad that the smoking area is confined to room eight. "I don't like to be around smokers," she said. "It makes my clothes smell." But business school junior Leila Gray, who is also a non-smoker, said it wouldn't bother her if smokers were allowed free use of the basement. The Central Campus Recreation Building has also changed its smoking policy. Before last Sep- tember, smoking was allowed in the concession areas and in the allowed in the CCRB because it is a health and fitness facility. Fox said the policy is easily enforced because "signs on the doors indicating that we are following University policy." Fox said he hasn't received any complaints about the new policy. The North Campus Recreation Building, the Sports Coliseum, the Intramural Building, the University Hospital, Food Services, the Building Service Department, and the Staff Benefits Office have also instituted restrictive smoking policies.' Dick said there are other places on campus with no-smoking policies. Until January, whether or not to implement a smoking ban in campus buildings is up to "individual managers, based upon their own feelings," he said. 4 0 Church help may lift city shelter pressure ,r--., _,. , _ ' , , . =_= .- 1 l\~J4ii t / 1[C] __ ,A1 X - '- GET A REATWE EDGE OCER LUNCH. (Continued from Page 1) Similarly, the Arbor Haven shelter on Division Street fills its limit of 18 to 22 guests, said Wilson, social services coordinator of the Washtenaw County Sal- vation Army. That shelter, he says, turns away another one or two homeless people a night. A few of those who cannot be accommodated are put up by the shelters in low-cost hotels, but most are forced to fend for themselves. Churches now sometimes take Corrections Although a probe which records brain signals has been built, development of a stimulatory brain probe is at least three years away. An article in yesterday's Daily incorrectly implied that the in one or two homeless people, Wilson said, but the resolution would make churches' roles more organized. Church officials said yesterday they are interested in the plan, but they need to learn more about the cost of the program and how to staff the temporary shelters before they make any commit- ments. THE DETAILS are still in their formative stages, said James Hampton, associate director of the Community Development Depart- ment. The council's authorization of two new shelters for women and families is aimed at quelling safety concerns. Hampton said violence against women and children in shelters hasn't been a problem, but women would feel safer in a shelter specifically for them and their i make it in today's competitive world, you need an advantage.
