5 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 6, 1987 Football team told to keep quiet IN BRIEF )1grdninom( Compiled from Associated Press reports The University also provides more funding for athletic scholar - ships than academic scholarships. Of the 594 athletes, 250 have scholarships, said Athletic Depart- ment Administrative Assistant Pat Perry. The budget for scholarships is about $2.4' million, with an average of $9,600 per scholarship athlete. The athletic department gives the maximum number of scholarships allowed by the NCAA. The University is spending $9.5 million this year on gift-aid scho - larships for approximately 4,500 students, averaging $2,111 for each student receiving gift aid. The figure does not include federal or private scholarship sources. Several black athletes contacted said athletes are unfairly receiving criticism as a result of statements such as Jackson's. "(People) are saying that if coaches can recruit black athletes, then they can also recruit black scientists and whatever. But the purpose is to get good athletes regardless of their color," said Leslie Spicer, a first-year student on the women's basketball team. The University community "is giving black athletes a bad rap," she added. Spicer attended the Jackson speech, but not any of the other functions sponsored by Black Action Movement III (BAM III) or United Coalition Against Racism (UCAR). MARK Hughes, a sophomore on the men's basketball team, said, "Athletes are recruited because they have a special talent." Hughes, who attended both the Jackson speech and rallies, added that the University could do more to recruit black non-athletes, and said the racist incidents "are totally crazy. I can't believe an institution of higher education such as this can have such ignorant things happen - ing. Something has to be done." Although some athletes freely discuss racism on campus and criticize the University, it seems football players are under an order of silence, imposed by their coaches. One football player, who asked to be unnamed, said the coaches told the team not to talk about the recent racial events on campus. Several other football players said they could not comment on recent racial problems, and refused to answer further questions. Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler did not return numer - ous phone calls made to his office. Assistant football coaches said they were unaware of any specific ban on speaking about the racist incidents. Coach Gary Moeller said, however, "We (the football team) try to keep- our problems to ourselves... If things are controversial we try not to get into PEER INFORMATION COUNSELING Offers Minority students and student groups: -personalized research assistance -library tours and lectures -word processing training CONTACT: DARLENE NICHOLS AT: 764-4479 them. This is no different than any other issue, really." COACH Fritz Seyferth said, "They have to be very careful in what they say because things often get taken out of context, and what they say and what gets printed on the page may be very different. They don't know anymore than any other students, but often they are the ones who end up getting quoted." BAM III member Barron Wallace, a law student, saidrthe football staff's alleged ban is just one example of the University isolating athletes. "It's indicative of the situation here, where the coaches have some kind of plantation mentality... With that kind of arrogant and paternalistic attitude you can under - stand the athletes' reluctance to comment. It's a grossly unfair system when these players are having scholarships held over their heads. "The coaches, more than anybody else, are perpetuating institutionalized racism," Wallace said. University Athletic Director Don Canham said the University's coaches do not have a "plantation mentality" nor are they perpetuating -racism. "That's absolute nonsense. Our coaching staff is probably more sympathetic to the inner-city kids' plight than anyone in the country," Canham said. Official: KGB bugged embassy WASHINGTON (AP) - The new $191 million U.S. Embassy in Moscow is riddled with hidden KGB listening devices, will never be secure and should be torn down and replaced at Soviet cost, the former vice chairman of the Senate intel- ligence committee said yesterday.

Phone: (31376172680 Reagan, Mulroney to confer OTTAWA - President Reagan arrived in Ottawa yesterday for meetings with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney at a summit where the two leaders' political problems provided a backdrop to nagging dif - ferences on trade and acid rain pollution. Both sides said in advance that no agreements or joint statements would be produced during Reagan's 24-hour visit. The Canadians billed the summit as "an inconclusive working ses - sion." the Americans called it a summit "without drama - a lot of workmanlike, businesslike sessions to look at te agenda." At Parliament Hill, a short distance from the airport, where Air Force One touched down, more than 5,000 demonstrators gathered with banners and balloons to protest Reagan's visit. The protestors com - plained about the Canada-U.S. free-trade talks, acid rain, and Reagan's Central America policy. Pope backs Chilean workers CONCEPCION, Chile - Pope John Paul II told more than 200,000 people at a Mass in this economically depressed region yes - terday that he supports their calls for more jobs and higher pay. His visit to Chile was finally free from the violent anti-government demonstrations that plagued papal appearances since his arrival Wed - nesday. "You may think the pope is not aware of the preoccupations of workers in this beloved Chile," said the pontiff. "That is not so. I know very well your concern about social jus - tice...onemployment...wages...and legitimate union demands," he said. In Santiago, the capital, opponents of President Augusto Pinochet's 18-year-old right wing military regime provoked clashes with the police during Papal events from Wednesday through Friday. The violence left more than 260 people injured. Cuba frees political prisoners WASHINGTON - Cuba has allowed 20 former long-term political prisoners to emigrate to the United States in the past 10 weeks, sending them at the rate of two a week in an apparent attempt to avoid publicity, according to U.S. officials. The officials said the piecemeal approach appeared aimed at elim - inating the tumultuous receptions that have accompanied large-scale pri - soner releases in the past and have receiyed extensive media attehtion. All20 Cubans were released from prison last May following a per - sonal appeal to President Fidel Castro by French undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau who visited Cuba in late 1985. The officials, who requested anonymity, said an additional 59 former prisoners have been authorized by the U.S. to emigrate and are now a - waiting permission from their government to leave along with close ret - atives. Cuban authorities have indicated that the group will be allowed to emigrate. U.N. won't release Nazi files UNITED NATIONS - 8,000 sealed files containing a wealth of de - tail on Nazi war criminals and their war crimes have become a focus of controversy over whether they should be opened to Israel and to Hol ocaust scholars. The sealed U.N. files list the names of 36,000 Nazi war criminals, suspects and witnesses and background on the workings of the Nazi exter - mination machinery. The name that sparked the current controversy was an obscure ex-first lieutenant in Hitler's Wehrmacht - Kurt Waldheim. In postwar years, he rose to become Austrian foreign minister, U.N. secretary-general and, ul timately, president of Austria. ot EXTRAS Acupuncture on the farm COOPERSVILLE, Mich. - How badly does an animal need a hole in the head? Expertssay more veterinarians are using acupuncture to treat, anesthetize, and even diagnose animals, although it is used relatively rarely to treat humans in the United States. Acupuncture proponents say it is gaining almost mainstream acceptance among animal doctors. "People see now that it it isn't voodoo, that there are things you can accomplish with acupuncture that you can't accomplish with traditional treatments," said Meredith Snader, a Chester Springs, Pa., veterinarian and executive director of the International Veterinary Acupuncture' Society. The 44,000-member American Veterinary Medical Association, which for years has viewed acupuncture as an experimental treatment, soon may make a fundamental change. An AVMA committee on alternative therapies in February issued a statement recognizing, acupuncture and acutherapy as valid medical procedures, said Bruce. Little, assistant executive vice president of the group "I think acupuncture is becoming and will become more and more acceptable throughout the profession," Little said.
