4 Pdge 2 -The Michigan Daily-Monday, December 7, 1987 Students bus, fly to attend demonstration INBRIEF (Continued from Page 1) LSA first-year student Beth Rudner said, "I have a feeling this will be a very important part of moderm Jewish history and I want to be able to say I was a part of it." "Rudner was one of 37 students who traveled to Washington on a Grayhound bus rented by the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation. The students slept in the bus Saturday night, participated in the five-and-a- half hour long march and rally, and drove back last night. "By being a part of it, being right there, I will be able to convey the feelings of the movement a lot 'The reason why I'm going to this rally is glasnost is glasnyet for Soviet Jews.' - Debbie Schlussel, LSA sophomore better. I want to make a statement by going, in addition to having an educational experience," said first- year LSA student Brian Portney. Although yesterday's rally was far away from Ann Arbor, the students who participated were certain the campus would feel the march's power. "As an individual, I intend to tell others of this experience and what I learned from it. I'm hoping I'll feel a part of something and that I'm actually helping," said Darren Findling, a first-year LSA student. Art school student Pamela Haber stressed that the march offered a unique opportunity for students to speak out on the issue. ' "Even if nothing comes out of the rally, I did the best that I could and went and spoke out for these people who couldn't. I want to do everything I can to help," she said. "It's so long - 12 hours on a bus each way - but it's so worth it." The rally started at the Ellipse, a park in front of the White House, stretched up Constitution Avenue and ended at the mall between the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument. It was held to press for the free emigration of almost 400,000 Soviet Jews - called "refuseniks" - who are not See STUDENTS, Page 3 - _ N 0 w H I R I N G KGB agents use force to N.LSB.

It was the clearest indication in the weeks leading up to the Dec. 8- 10 Washington summit that Soviet authorities will not tolerate public expressions of dissent, even under Mikhail S. Gorbachev's policy of "glastnost," or openness on certain topics. I I k iprotest It appeared that authorities went to considerable lengths to quell the refuseniks' protest. Alexander Feldman, a refusenik and would-be demonstrator, told The Associated Press he spent Saturday night at his sister's apartment in an attempt to avoid Soviet authorities. But when he left his sister's home Sunday morning to go to the demonstration, Feldman said three men put him into a waiting black sedan and drove him to a police station 40 miles outside Moscow. He said he was released about 2:30 p.m., two hours after the protest was over. About 15 minutes into the refusenik protest, plainclothes agents knocked down and struck Arnett, the Moscow correspondent for Cable Network News, and then hustled him into a bus and drove him to a nearby. office. Arnett said he was released after four hours after being presented with a written accusation that he assaulted a Soviet citizen by knocking off his hat with ma microphone. Compiled from Associated Press reports Iranian gunboats attack two tankers, kill Danish sailor MANAMA, Bahrain - Iran launched unusually devastating gunboat attacks yesterday on two neutral-flag tankers in the Persian Gulf, killing a Danish sailor aboard one and igniting the highly volatile naptha cargo of another. The abandoned Singapore-flagged ship Norman Atlantic was still burning more than eight hours after it was attacked in early afternoon in the Strait of Hormuz, the gulf's only gateway. Flames were visible 30 miles away. It was not immediately clear if the 85, 129-ton tanker was in danger of sinking. London-based Lloyd's Shipping Intelligence Unit said the ship was "drifting and on fire nearly the whole length...and listing." At dawn, an Iranian gunboat had ambushed the 50,600-ton Danish tanker Estelle Maersk in the southern gulf off the United Arab Emirates coast, killing one sailor and wounding a second. Bush disputes primary process WASHINGTON - Supporters of Vice President George Bush are threatening to walk out of Michigan Republican county meetings next month in a move designed to deprive evangelist Pat Robertson of a clear- cut victory in the first major contest of the 1988 presidential primary season. On Friday a state circuit judge ruled that Robertson backers on the Re- publican central committee had violated state and party rules when they excluded GOP candidates from conventions. Most of the 1,200 excluded were assumed to be Bush supporters. A similar suit could be filed after the central committee meets to enact another "anti-Bush" rules change on Dec. 12. A rules change would trigger a walkout of Bush supporters from up to 25 of the 120 county conventions on Jan. 14 - setting off a credentials challenge for the Republican nomination. GOP candidates attack arms control treaty opponents PELLA, Iowa - Republican presidential front-runners Vice President George Bush and Sen. Bob Dole both attacked conservative opponents of the U.S.-Soviet arms control treaty, with Bush calling the critics "those noisy people." During a campaign stop in Iowa, bush said he "couldn't care less what the conservative activists think about the treaty. "I don't care what some of those noisy people attacking our president think. I don't think it's called for, don't have any respect for it and I don't approve of it," Bush said. Report reveals welfare fraud WASHINGTON - Fraud in the federal government's major welfare program for mothers and children could be costing $1 billion a year ac- cording to a report by the Department of Health and Human Services' in- spector general. The report estimates that federal and state governments could save $800 million a year just by placing more emphasis on weeding out un- qualified applicants before they start receiving benefits under the Aid to families With Dependent Children program. Other savings could flow from removing people from the rolls whose changing circumstances render them ineligible for benefits after their ini- tial qualification. "The AFDC fraud is a billion dollar problem that is not responding to traditional approaches to combating fraud," the report said. EXTRAS STUDY SPRING IN THE NORTH WOODS A New Course for Freshman & Sophomore Non-Science Majors Biology 104, Introduction to the Natural Sciences Tired of large classes in stuffy lecture halls? Want to live for 4 weeks on the shore of a beautiful lake in northern Michigan? Want to learn about the native plants and animals of the region? Looking for meaningful contact with senior faculty? LOOK NO FURTHER! A new course, to be taught at the University of Michigan Biological Station in the northern Lower Peninsula, has been designed just for you. In this course, you'll dQ science, not just read about it. You'll monitor microclimate, collect plant fossils, learn to identify birds, attend class on a pontoon boat, and even find out what glaciers have to do with forestry. You'll interact with senior faculty in small discussion groups, in the field, and even at meals. This five-credit course for non-science majors will be a "hands-on" introduction to natural science. Classes in the field and lab will be combined with discussions, readings, and lectures to give an introduction to ecology, evolutionary biology, and scientific method. A major emphasis will be consideration of how organisms interact with their environment to grow and reproduce. The course will be taught over a four-week period (May 14-June 11, 1988) during the spring half-term,,and will be limited to 3 sections of 17 students each. Students and faculty will live in cabins at the Biological Station and all meals will be served in the dining hall at the Station. Tuition will be $490 for Michigan residents and $1360 for non-residents, and all students will pay a room and board fee of $320.

Recruited from the Dallas Police Department's corps of first-aid mannequins, the ersatz officer sat quietly in a parked car as a deterrent against speeding. Motorists weren't fooled. "They were slowing down, but as soon as they got past they figured the danger was over," said Capt. W.R. Patterson of the traffic division. Motorcycle officers waiting down the street had to issue citations to 91 speeders, he said. The mannequin did catch motorists' attention. Patterson said. "One woman circled it three times, " he said. "I expected someone to call in and complain he wouldn't talk or wave, but that didn't happen." If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
