allowed exit visas to leave the
country.
"People take to those issues that
are in the news. We don't see much
news coverage telling us what's
going on in Russia," Findling added.
"In Russia, everything is behind
closed doors and what happens there
isn't in the news every day like the
other issues."
Despite the interest shown by the
nearly 100 students who went to
Washington, student leaders say
awareness and interest on campus
remains relatively low. Leaders of
the Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewry, a group dedicated to in-
creasing awareness and providing
education about the plight of Soviet
Jews, say the "Prisoners of Zion"
receive little publicity.
"This issue is something
everyone could and should know
about. Too often people get caught
up in the Jewish issue instead of the
fact that many people want to leave
but can't because of the laws. That's
the important issue. A statement
needs to be made against how the
Soviets treat their people," said LSA
senior Deborah Blatt.
Jerry Wish, an LSA senior and
co-chair of Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry, said, "I don't think the
issue is as big as it should be.'Issues
such as apartheid get much more
press. The Soviet Jewry issue, as a
fact, is not accompanied by violence
and that's a big factor. You don't
have the horror stories of people
being killed. As a result, when
people do hear about Soviet Jewry,
they think it is a religious issue."
Wish said the group is rallying
on the Diag today to coincide with
thedsummit and remind University
students of the issue.
LSA sophomore Lynn Blaustein,
also a member of the Student
Struggle for Soviet Jewry, said of
yesterday's march, "I think this
event will create more activism on
campus. Considering how many
students there are, and the fact that;
students can make a big difference,;
with increased awareness more
should be active on campus in
working to combat the problem."

Officials: Leaders may
reach SDI compromise

WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet
and American officials, on the eve of
Mikhail Gorbachev's arrival in
Washington, hinted yesterday that a
compromise is possible on "Star
Wars" testing, while a massive
demonstration in the U.S. capital
and a violence-marred protest in
Moscow underscored differences on
human rights.
Thirteen months after the breakup
of the last superpower summit,
Gorbachev heads to Washington on
Monday for three days of talks with
President Reagan and the signing of
a treaty to eliminate intermediate-
range nuclear missiles (INF) over
three years.
Both leaders say they are opti-
mistic about making progress toward
a bolder agreement to cut long-range
strategic nuclear weapons by half,
paving the way for another summit
by next June in Moscow.

Nadasen said she wanted the
University to condemn the attacks.
She said if the University is
committed to fighting racism on
campus, it should take a stance on
this issue.
University President Harold
Shapiro called the attacks
unfortunate and said, "I certainly
deplore them very much."
An official at the University's
Department of Public Safety and
Security said officers have filed
reports on the incidents, but she
refused to disclose any information
in the reports.
FSACC member Anthony
Vavasis, who helped rebuild the
shanty Saturday, said he and other
FSACC members will rebuild the
shanty again tonight. "We'll
continue to rebuild it. We'll never
stop," he said, adding that the second
attack was "really irritating and
really frustrating."

rigid Soviet opposition to Reagan's
"Star Wars" missile defense plan,
known formally as the Strategic De-
fense Initiative, White House chief
of staff Howard Baker said the

police in the range of 200,000 took
part in a demonstration march and
rally here to press for free emigration
of Soviet Jews.

'In the Soviet Union, they don't treat human beings the
way we think they ought to.'
--George Shultz, Secretary of State

Kremlin's position "now is a little
different than it appears to have been
a few weeks ago."
Interviewed on NBC's "Meet the
Press," Baker predicted that
Gorbachev would move forward on a
strategic-weapon cuts "perhaps
without requiring as a precondition
that the president abandon SDI or
reduce SDI or postpone SDI, which
he's not going to do."
Meanwhile, a crown estimated by

Soviet emigre Natan Sharansky, the
demonstrators carried signs asking
"Where is glastnost for Soviet
Jews?" and flags emblazoned with
the star of David. Some carried ban-.
ners with the names of people re-
fused permission to leave the Soviet
Union.
"No camps and prisons can
extinguish the light and candle of
freedom," Sharansky told the crowd.

Marcuse said he did not know
what action he would take against
Patrick, adding that he was currently
discussing the case with a lawyer.
The penaity for simple assault
charges in Ann Arbor is up to $100

he faces in the future.
