4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 17, 1986 Pro appointed comm. chair By ROBERT GRANADER Communication Professor Frank Beaver will take the Department of Communication's top post July 1. Literature, Science, and the Arts officials appointed Beaver to the three-year term last week. Beaver will take over from current chairperson John Stevens. The post is rotating, according to Beaver, so professors don't lose touch with students. Beaver, who teaches film history and film production, radiates enthusiasm for his job and department. "There is a lot of talent here... the program is on the threshold of becoming a truly great department. "It is now one of the top five departments at the University. It could be a department of clear excellence. There is an opportunity to pull this department up."r ONE PROBLEM facing the department is that although it is one of the five largest at the University, it has one of the smallest full-time faculty. Currently four or five Associate Professorships are available in the department, and Beaver says he will try to recruit "the best in the country." One of Beaver's main concerns is to maintain communication with students. "I want to teach as much as possible... I enjoy teaching a great deal," he said. He also hopes to continue counseling students, and create a "meet the chairman" session. BUT AS the department's head he won't have a lot of time to teach. Among his new responsibilities, Beaver will represent Department of Communication to LSA, for example in negotiating faculty decisions and departmental needs. Beaver originally was nominated by the faculty from the Department of Communication. LSA Dean Peter Steiner makes the appointment, and the LSA Executive Board gave final approval. Beaver is a native of North Carolina, and received a B.A. and M.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1967 he came to the University and completed a Ph.D in speech in1970. Beaver loves his job, and has no current plans to leave. He says he loves to read, which he doesn't have time to do because "every fifteen minutes is taken up now." He also sees about two movies a week, "I try to see everything that comes out."

ANN ARBOR, MI 48109-1316 / 313-764-7460 A Unit of Student Services Children relate human side of war BY LOUIS STANCATO Although the media often bombards us with stories of war, many people are removed from war's true effects. Starting today, however, 54 teenagers from war- torn countries will visit Ann Arbor and other U.S. cities to illustrate the personal side of combat. Children from countries such as Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Central America are touring America to educate people about unstable areas of the world. The children speak openly and compassionately about their countries' problems and about their own feelings on war. "When we talk about war, we tend to forget people are involved. These children will talk and try to give a human face to war," said Richard Cleaver, a member of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSE), the local group coordinating the Ann Arbor visit a week from Tuesday. CHILDREN FROM Guatemala, South Africa, Lebanon and the Philippines will visit Ann Arbor, while others will tour statewide. Detroit was chosen for its size and also because "parts of the city resemble a war-zone," Cleaver said. All too often U.S. foreign policy debate remains abstract while the people injured, the non- combatants, have little say, he added. The Children of War tour is making its second American round. The 1984 tour was so successful that the group was nationally spotlighted on Donahue, Nightline, and other news programs. The tour mostly caters to high school students, with the '84 tour reaching more than 25,000 students. This year the group will appear at Plymouth-Canton and Huron High. Ann Arbor was chosen partly because of Cleaver's affiliation with the Task Force. It also is a unique opportunity for the city to become involved. On November 25 Ann Arbor Mayor Ed Pierce will welcome the group in a public presentation, to be held at the Ann Arbor Public library. The presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m. INBRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS Hasenfus denied parole MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Justice Minister Rodrigo Reyes rejected yesterday the possibility of pardoning American Eugene Hasenfus, who drew 30 years in prison for his part in a weapons delivery flight to U.S.- backed Contra rebels. "There is no reason to pardon him," Reyes told the Associated Press by telephone one day after a political court handed down the verdict and the sentence. "The Nicaraguan penitentiary system will guarantee that he fulfills his sentence." Reyes, chief prosecuter in the case, said, "If a pardon is applicable, I am sure there will be a rejection by the population and the authorities would have to explain that step very well." Pro-government newspapers yesterday billed the verdict against Hasenfus as a conviction of the United States as well. Hasenfus was the lone survivor when Sandinista forces in southern Nicaragua on Oct. 2 shot down a C-123 plane he said was carrying small arms and ammunition to U.S.-backed rebels. U.S. leaders call for ending arms shipments to Iran WASHINGTON-Secretary of State George Shultz said yesterday the United States should make no more arms shipments to Iran, contending "I don't see any need for further signals" of U.S. good faith to moderate Iranians. Meanwhile, John Poindexter, President Reagan's national security adviser, said the U.S. arms embergo against Iran still stands and said he remains optimistic that more hostages may be released by pro-Iran forces in Lebanon. But Robert McFarlane, former national security advisor who made at least one secret trip to Iran, said his contacts among.moderate Iranians are in danger of being killed now that his efforts have been made public. Senate Democratic leader Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.), urged the administration to state publicly that there would be no more arms shipments to Iran "or any other terrorist state." A congressional investigation into administration dealings with Iran, which Reagan denies were direct negotiations for the release of hostages, is to begin this week Unrest threatens Philippines. MANILA, Philippines - Thousands of demonstrators marched through downtown Manila yesterday denouncing Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile, and a labor official told them guns may be needed to protect democracy. Nick Elman, an official of the leftist May 1st Movement labor union, also said the 500,000-member union would strike nationwide Thursday to coincide with the funeral of its slain leader, Rolando Olalia, a supporter of President Corazon Aquino. The union, the Philippines' largest, has also called for a general strike today in Manila. At a rally by about 15,000 people in downtown Manila yesterday, Mrs. Aquino said: "I want to be known as a leader of peace, but if there is no other choice, I am ready to lead a war." Syria denies terrorist ties ° DAMASCUS, Syria - President Hafez Assad denied that Syria was involved in terrorism and accused President Reagan and Britain's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher yesterday of being the "real terrorists" and trying to bully Syria. "We are against terrorism, we don't practice it and do not allow anyone to hatch terrorist plots from our territory," Assad told about 7,000 people at a Damascus stadium on the 16th anniversary of the coup that brought him to power. Britain cut ties with Syria last month after a Jordanian, Nezar Hindawi, was convicted of working with Syrian diplomats in trying to plant a bomb on an Israeli airliner in London. The United States tightened trade controls and banned commercial flights between Syria and America. The Common Market, with the exception of Greece, banned the sale of new arms to Syria, suspended high-level official visits and agreed to review the activities of their diplomats in Syria. Marchers finish journey WASHINGTON - The 3,700-mile walk for nuclear disarmament called the Great Peace March ended Saturday with a round of rallies, a day, after entering the capital to the double roar of rock music and police motorcycle escorts. "Every day we walk we're that much more successful...We've inspired people to feel that one person can make a difference," Charles Davidson of San Fernando, Calif., said Friday, shortly before 1,000 exuberant marchers surged across the district line brandishing flags and banners urging peace. Some started out with the march in Los Angeles, others joined in along the way. A band of hardy idealists on a mission to convert their fellow Americans, they walked interstates and main streets across the land spreading their gospel to all who would listen. Their footsteps have "put peace in the headlines," said Diane Clark, one of the orginal marchers, a Jamestown, N.Y., kindergarten teacher and honorary mayor of the mobile municpality calling itself Peace City.

Democratic councilmember Kathy Edgren (D-Fifth Ward) said, "He hasn't done a lot since he's been in the (Republican) minority. He's been demoralized and immobilized. I thought he had fallen on his sword, and I'm actually suprised he's got some fight in him." She said Jernigan's voting record is "not a good record of accomplishment.

Edgren and Jeff Epton (D-Third Ward) said if Jernigan wins, which they consider unlikely, he will probably have to face a Democratic- controlled city council. Jernigan said working as mayor with a Democratic majority would be difficult, but said Ann Arbor will not necessarily vote Democratic in the city elections as it has done in state and national elections.

The term impure elements normally is used by authorities here to describe communists, pro-communists or their supporters.' Lieberthal and other Western intelligence sources said that Sung's successor, Kim Chong-Il, would be an unstable and unpredictable ruler. Some sources said that Chong-Il initiated the attempt on the life of the South Korean head of state on his recent visit to Burma. There was no explanation why communist North Korea would disclose the information, through the loudspeakers along the demilitarized zone that divides the peninsula.
