Casey turned to Saudis, Sbook says WASHINGTON (AP) - The late CIA Director William Casey turned to the Saudi Arabian government for money and help when it became clear that his own effort to create a secret anti-terrorist force was not going to work, according to excerpts published yesterday of a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward. Woodward also provides details of what he says was Casey's deathbed confession of his knowledge of the diversion of Iran arms profits to the Nicaraguan Contra rebels. Casey's impatience with the CIA's emphasis on intelligence gathering rather than covert action reached a peak in 1985, when the administration was anxious to assert itself in the Middle East after terrorists had bombed U.S. facilities in Beirut, the book says. "All the bold planning was going to be a wasted effort," Woodward wrote. "After four years of frustration with his agency and Congress, Casey had reached the breaking point. He decided to go 'off the books,' to go outside normal CIA channels and turn instead to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi intelligence service.... " In the book and in an interview with CBS-TV's "60 Minutes," Woodward described when, after eluding CIA security, he got to Casey's hospital room. "He was dying. It was not the Casey I knew physically," Woodward said. "And so I got one question, and ... that question was: 'You knew about the diversion, didn't you?' ... And he nodded.... And I said 'Why?' And he said, 'I believed."' Calls to the Saudi Embassy in Washington seeking comment on the report were not immediately returned yesterday.

The estimated 200 people attending this year's mudbowl party outside the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity Fri- day afternoon had mud on their minds as they basked in the sun and enjoyed the live music of local bands. The bash marked the kickoff cel- ebration of the annual mudbowl game played Homecoming weekend between SAE and Phi Delta Theta fraternities. The game, which will be played on October 31st, preceeds the Michigan-Northwestern game. This year's party is the second consecutive bash held in the after- noon as local police officers have tried to cut down the amount of safe- ty risks and high noise levels late at night. According to Captain Paul Bunten of the Ann Arbor police force, there were no specialized patrols assigned to the fraternity during the hours of the party. The police were satisfied that the problem in earlier years of blocked traffic during the party had been eliminated. Bunten stated that this year the party was "pretty confined" making it "much better than in the past." He also stated that to his knowledge there were no individual problems with the party Friday. As there were no visible uni- formed police, the security was pro- vided by members of the fraternity, themselves. In past years when the mudbowl party was held outside at night, an estimated 4,000 people crowded around the house and the live bands. With crowds spilling into Washte- naw and South University streets late at night, police concern about safety mounted, said SAE social chair and LSA junior Mike Hennessey. This year, in addition to holding the, party during the day, the police also required a temporary fence around the mudbowl field to keep the streets clear. Also, the band was positioned in the corner of the lawn closest to Vil- lage Corner playing towards the fra- ternity house. This was in effort to reduce the noise levels form previous parties when the band played in front of the house. The bands that played were the Avante Gardners and The Difference. According to SAE Vice-President, Wayne Christansen, an LSA senior, the fraternity has been "trying to work with the police to make sure the (mudbowl) tradition continues as one of the largest and safest parties on campus." Party goer Heather Huthwaite, an LSA junior, said, "This year's party really can't be compared with the party of two years ago. Since it's during the day, it is a smaller and mellower crowd." Engineering junior Peter Oster- haven even added that the party felt like "a bunch of Greek people hang- ing out and not really having a good time." Another change this year was the absence of Miller Light as the spon- sor of the mudbowl and the mudbowl party. High insurance rates make it hard for alcohol companies to spon- sor college activities, said Hen- nessey. This year the party was sponsored by various local businesses including All My Muffins, Bicycle Jim's, Big Market, Subway, Sulley's, and Vil- lage Corner. Contributions went to- wards the cost of the bands with the remaining proceeds donated to the American Lung Association. Although this year's mudbowl party pales in terms of size compared to parties of the past, it seems o have gained a new and equally enjoy- able atmosphere. "I expected it to be a lot bigger but I like it because it's comfortable not having to fight off the crowds and wait in long lines," said LSA sophomore Jenny Lindsay. The midbowl game has been a tradition since 1910 when it origi- nated with a touch football game be- tween SAE and Phi Delta Theta on a field drenched from rain the night be- fore. By ROSE MARY WUMMEL Thirty-nine students gathered yes- terday on the fourth floor of the Rackham Building for a symposium to celebrate the success of their sum- mer research projects. The students spent July and Au- gust doing research in a one-to-one basis with a professor. The Com- mittee on Institutional Cooperation sponsored the Summer Research Op- portunity Program (SROP) through the Horace Rackham School of HE LIST What's happening in Ann Arbor today Graduate Studies. SROP was design- ed to encourage undergraduate minor- ity students to consider academic careers. Yesterday's symposium gave par- ticipants the chance to share the re- sults of their work which ranged from projects in creative writing to a study of the development of the ner- vous system of an embryotic chick. SROP has doubled in size since last year's inaugural summer and the University's program now has the largest enrollment in the Big Ten. Associate Dean of Graduate Stud- ies James Jackson said the program broke down barriers between students and faculty at large universities. He added that it was important to note that the success of the participants "is not unusual for minorities." Homer Rose, associate dean of graduate studies, said the program is valuable because scholars expect many professors to retire in 10 years, a phenomenon referred to as the "graying of the faculty" which will create many new academic positions. The next group of professors and researchers could affect the course of higher education for the next 50 years, added Coordinator of Graduate Minority Affairs Marilyn Gordon. Rose said, "(Minorities) are underrepresented in the faculty ranks and now is the time to attract them." Students do not receive credit for their work but are given two month- ly stipends totalling $2,000. LSA senior Derek Green, a second year participant in the program sharpened his creative writing skills under English Prof. John Aldridge this summer. After finishing as a fi- nalist in the Hopwood awards twice, Green won the contest last year for fiction. He attributes much of that success to having more time to write saying, "I didn't have to work a regular job. Writing for eight months (the past two summers) gave me continuity and a running start." LSA senior Richard Lopez said, "I really felt support in a group with other people like me; it was a com- mon experience. Sometimes you feel different than other white stream Americans." Chemistry Prof. Edgar Westrum, a mentor of the program said, "Everyone benefits from it; the un- dergraduates are given insights, and an appreciation for the research world that they can gain no other way. The students are a breath of real life for research professors." Gordon said, "Its unbelievable what the undergraduates can do when you give them the ball and let them run with it."

But it accounts for nearly 27 percent, or $3.7 billion, of the state's annual $14 billion Fall color change boosts tourism in Michigan tourism industry, the Michigan Travel Bureau estimates. "The trips are of shorter duration than summer travel, but fall color tours are becoming a significant growing segment of our tourist trade," said David Morris, senior research manager for the bureau.
