Political Science Prof. Jack
Walker will replace outgoing Prof.
John Kingdon as chairperson of the
political science department.
Walker, a 23-year veteran of the
political science department, will
finish his 3-year term as associate
dean for academic appointments in,
LSA before assuming his new post.
Kingdon, whose 5-year term ends in
June, will return to teaching
political science in addition to
doing research at the Institute of
Public Policy Studies.
LSA Dean Peter Steiner and the
LSA Executive Committee settled

on Walker for the post after polling
political science faculty members.
He was told of his appointment a
month ago and is soliciting the
opinions of the faculty as to what
direction they feel the department
should take.
"I don't expect to remake the
political science department," said
Walker, who sees the post as "a big
cooperative enterprise."
Walker said of his appointment,
"It's a mixed blessing. I'm not
being elevated to some great post."
A graduate of Emory University
and the University of Iowa, Walker
concentrates his political science

work on American political
institutions and public policies. His
specialties include American
government, public policy, and
election analysis.
Walker served as director of the
Institute of Public Policy Studies
from 1974-79 where he is still a
research scientist. In 1980, he
received a Guggenheim Fellowship
and was a Senior Fellow at the
Woodrow Wilson International
Center for Scholars.
Kingdon also received a
Guggenheim Fellowship in 1979
and studied at Oberlin College and
the University of Wisconsin.

Five killed in Mo. plane crash
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - A military plane and a private plane
collided over the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant yesterday, killing "
all five people aboard, authorities said.
The crash, which occurred about 12:30 p.m. over the plant east of
Kansas City, involved a U-21 fixed-wing military plane headed for Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., said Lt. Col. John Garlinger, public affairs officer
at Fort Leavenworth.
The civilian plane was a Piper Navajo, he said.
There were believed to be three people aboard the military plane and
two aboard the private plane, Garlinger said. Each plane can seat up to
six people.
Inmates say they flew arms;
to Contras and drugs to U.S.
MIAMI - Two federal inmates say they flew arms to the
Nicaraguan Contra rebels and drugs back to the United States with the
knowledge of the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration. "It
was guns down, cocaine back," one inmate said.
A spokeswoman for the CIA denied the charge yesterday, as have a
DEA spokesman and two top leaders of the Contras fighting
Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government.
Jorge "George" Morales Garcia is scheduled for trial Monday on
charges of cocaine smuggling; Gary Betzner, the second inmate, flew'
two missions for Morales and is serving a sentence for cocaine
smuggling and facing attempted escape charges.
Envoy will remain in Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite canceled
his flight home to England yesterday to stay in Beirut for face-to-face
negotiations with kidnappers of American hostages.
He scrubbed his midmorning departure plans after returning to his
hotel from a late-night meeting with Islamic Jihad, sources close to
him said.
"It looked like he has had a breakthrough," said one source, who
spoke on condition of anonymity. "He will have further meetings with
the captors."
Meanwhile, a hitherto unknown group, God's Partisans, threatened
yesterday to carry out terrorist attacks against Italy for allegedly
mistreating two jailed comrades.
U.. may let dollar value fall
WASHINGTON - Treasury Secretary James Baker will meet today
with the finance ministers of Canada and Japan to discuss monetary
issues, but there was little indication that the Reagan administration is
ready to join in steps to ease the dollar's sharp fall.
Administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity,
said yesterday that despite the recent plunge in the dollar - which this
week brought the currency'*to a new post-World War II low against the
Japanese yen - Baker seems content to allow the dollar to continue
falling with market pressures.
That's because a lower dollar should eventually begin to ease this
nation's trade deficit, estimated at a record $173 billion last year.

local resident. "This has become the
ultimate local issue."
Other speakers criticized the
administration's cutback in local
and state programs to finance a
huge defense build-up.
Rev. Robert Wallace said the

city is "severely handicapped by the
redirecting of funds from where they
ought to be - in local issues."
Wallace, who heads the Ann Arbor
Shelter Association, said funds to
aid the homeless and provide
affordable housing are more
important than military spending.

Three Stooges wax acting
greats in popularity contest
BUENA PARK, Calif. - The Three Stooges beat the Barrymores
in a popularity contest at the Movieland wax Museum, and visitors
are also asking to see Don Johnson and Michael J. Fox done in wax.
"We think The Three Stooges are really having a revival with
young people now," said Terry Thrift, marketing director for the
museum.
"They're on TV all weekend. But who ever sees the Barrymores?"
The museum, acting on results of questionaires from visitors, is
removing lionel, Ethel, and John Barrymore as well as the "Laugh-In"
comedy team of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, Thrift said Monday.
"We've got Mel Gibson as 'Mad Max' set for February, Jonathon
Winters from the film 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' in March
and The Three Stooges in April," he said.
Visitors want Johnson and Fox added to the collection, Thrift said.
He said the museum must first obtain their permission.
