4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 1, 1987 Roach discusses research issues By EDWARD KLEINE University Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said he expects the Board of Regents to decide on new research guidelines at their meeting this month, but would not reveal how he plans to vote during a speech on classified research yesterday. Roach spoke against extending the "end-use" clause - which prohibits research which could be used to kill or maim humans - to all research, calling it impractical, "poorly worded," and an infringement of academic freedom. The current research guidelines only apply the end-use clause to classified research. Non-classified research has no such restrictions. "We do basic research," Roach said of the University. "Anyone who can forecast the outcome of basic research is a lot smarter than I am." He said the concept of what sort of research could be used to harm humans could be taken to absurd lengths. Citing an example he gave to students in a discussion on military research several years ago, Roach said, "You really get to the point of (where) you shouldn't do research on shoes, because armies march on their feet, and that would assist in warfare." Roach also said the University shouldn't tell its scientists what they can and can't research. "How do you say that a given scientific discovery... is morally right or wrong?" he asked. He said he trusted individual scientists to make moral and ethical decisions on their projects. Roach spoke on "A Perspective From A Member of The Board of Regents," was the last in a series of lectures on classified research sponsored by the Ecumenical Campus Center.

According to first-year medical student Marty Ellington, a member of the United Coalition Against Racism's steering committee, "We think it's very positive, but, we're very serious when we say that we want to be involved in the im- plementation of of that position." Until the position is filled, the office will continue to operate without a supervisor to channel its efforts. The Board of Regents must approve the candidate. "We are operating normally without Sudarkasa's efforts, but will welcome any new con- tributions," said Virginia Nordby, head of Affirmative Action. IN BRIE Compiled from Associated Press reports Judge awards Baby M to father HACKENSACK, N.J. - A judge awarded custody of Baby M to her father yesterday and stripped surrogate mother Mary Beth Whitehead of all parental rights to the child she bore under a $10,000 contract. In the nation's first judicial ruling on surrogate parenting, Bergen County Superior Court Judge Harvey Sorkow upheld the validity of the contract on the grounds that just as men have a constitutional right to sell their sperm, women can decide what to do with their wombs. Immediately after William Stern won custody in the landmark case, his wife, Elizabeth, adopted the year-old baby, whom they call Melissa. The child has been in their care while the case was argued. Sorkow ordered Stern to pay Mrs. Whitehead the $10,000 agreed to in the contract. That money had been held in escrow since the contract was signed. Rebels raid Salvadoran base EL PARAISO, El Salvador - Guerrillas raided a major army base before dawn yesterday, killing at least 43 soldiers and a U.S. military adviser, the first to die during battle in the 7-year-old civil war. El Salvador's military commander said the American, identified as Staff Sgt. Gregory Fronius of Greensburg, Pa., was killed by mortar fire near a command post. The military said 35 soldiers were wounded by leftist rebels who assaulted the base behind a barrage of cannon, mortar and grenade fire. Base commander Col. Gilberto Rubio, who was slightly wounded, said the number of attackers had not been determined. Officials said seven guerillas died in the attack on the 4th Infantry Brigade garrison at El Paraiso in Chalatenango province, a rebel stronghold, and some penetrated the camp. El Paraiso is nearly 40 miles north of San Salvador, capital of this Central American country. Reagan hails AIDS education WASHINGTON - President Reagan gave his endorsement yesterday to AIDS education in schools but said children also should be taught that sexual abstinence is the best way to avoid the disease. "We want an all-out campaign," Reagan said, responding to reporters' questions at a state dinner for visiting Prime Minister Jacques Chirac of France. Asked whether he thought children should be taught about the dangers of the AIDS epidemic, Reagan said, "Yes, I think so - as long as they teach one of the answers to it is abstinence." He stressed the theme of abstinence and said that he supported instructing children about AIDS and how to avoid it "if you say it's not how you do it but that you don't do it." Reagan said that education which does not offer instruction about proper values is wrong. Congress repeals highway veto WASHINGTON - Fifteen of Michigan's 18 congressmen voted to override President Reagan's veto of an $88 billion highway and mass transit bill, as the House overturned the president's veto on a 350-73, ballot yesterday. Republican Reps. William Broomfield of Birmingham, Carl Pursell of Plymouth and Paul Henry of Grand Rapids were among the minority who voted to sustain the veto, even though all three had voted in favor' of the highway bill when it passed the House earlier this month. Henry said he decided to support the override in hopes that the Reagan administration can quickly push through a better bill containing "less fat" and more money for road work in Michigan. 4 4 4 4 EXTRAS Cajun craze hits the road NEW ORLEANS - People on the go can now order alligatior to go.
