4 UCAR wants 'U' to close for holiday (Continued from Page 1) dance at some Martin Luther King Day activities last year resulted from students' obligations in class. The University's Board of Re- gents, which approves the Univer- sity's official calendar, has the power to approve administrative requests to shut down for holidays, said interim President Robben Fleming. Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said the regents have not formally discussed the issue, although they have received letters in support of the holiday. He also said that the is- sue had arisen in "casual conversa- tion" with University administrators. "Knowing what student class schedules are like, I can't believe it," Roach said of the charges that classes prevent students from attend- ing the activities. Roach said that having "two or three" classes a day would not keep interested students from attending. Roach said he was concerned that declaring Martin Luther King Day an official holiday would set a prece- dent: "There are all sorts of special interest groups that have holidays which are special to them," Roach said. "Once you start changing (the calendar), when do you stop chang- ing it?" Fleming said the administration did not think it was necessary to disrupt the already planned calendar to honor the holiday because it had already scheduled many Martin Luther King Day Activities for the week prior to the national holiday. The University is sponsoring a symposium on Jan. 11 and 12. University Vice-Provost for Mi- nority Affairs Charles Moody said he supports declaring Martin Luther King Day an official holiday. He added that the administration is "trying to get the holiday for next year." But Fleming said the administration had no definite plans for establishing the holiday in the future. A memo released from Fleming's office Jan. 5 asked faculty to plan their classes - for instance, by not having tests that day - so students wishing to attend the Martin Luther King Day activities would be able to. The memo is not binding to the faculty. The memo was signed by Flem- ing, Michigan Student Assembly President Ken Weine, and Harris McClamroch, chair of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, the faculty governing body.

(continued from Page 1) A decade has passed since Fleming first left the University, but he said the problems have changed only slightly. His method of solving problems is also the same: "I expect I approach things the same as I always did," he said. But one new issue f a c i n g Fleming is the debate over a code of non-academic conduct. Despite opposition from the University community, Shapiro strongly advocated rules for behavior outside the classroom. Fleming has never taken a stand on the code, which became an issue during the early 1980s, but said he will release such a statement next week. He has already established contact with both the faculty's Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs and the Michigan Student Assembly, agreeing to meet with both groups every month. IN -BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Israeli violence continues JERUSALEM - Israeli troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at rock- throwing Palestinian rioters in the occupied territories yesterday, and an Arab shouting "God is Great!" stabbed a soldier and was shot in the shoulder. The soldier was cut in- the hand, and U.N. officials said four Palestinians were hurt in clashes with soldiers. The army clamped curfews on several cities and refugee camps to quell the protests. The violence stymied Israeli efforts to restore calm and defuse international criticism of its handling of the month-long rioting in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Army gunfire has killed 24 Arabs. Defense Minister Yitzhal Rabin said 1,978 Palestinians were arrested in the past month. Of those, 908 were released, 300 were tried and sentenced, six were aquitted and the rest were awaiting trial, he said. Carlucci, Reagan to review U. S. force in Persian Gulf MANAMA, Bahrain - Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci said he and President Reagan will review the size of the American force in the Persian Gulf, but he added that the United States remains committed to defending U.S.-flag vessels there. In Washington, Reagan said he was not ordering any ships withdrawn from the gulf, where Iran and Iraq have been at war since September, 1980. Carlucci arrived in Bahrain yesterday, and a senior official of the island sheikdom said the U.S. Navy had helped save the region from chaos. The U.S. defense secretary began his tour Tuesday in Kuwait, which has put 11 tankers under the American flag so the Navy can protect them, and a ranking Soviet official arrived there as Carlucci left. Karen Brutents, deputy chief of the International Relations Bureau of the Soviet Communist Party's Central Committee, said the war was "one of the most important objectives of Soviet policy in the region." Booster failure posed no danger BRIGHAM CITY, Utah - The failure of a section of the new space shuttle booster rocket last month would not have affected a real launch because the breakage occurred seconds after the test firing ended, a NASA official said yesterday. Engineers have determined that half of the nozzle's 8-foot diameter boot ring popped off after the two-minute groundtest was completed Dec. 23, said J. R. Thompson, director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. Still, engineers remain concerned about the component's design as they get closer to discovering what caused it to fail, Thompson said at a news conference. It is still too early to set a new launch date for the shuttle, he said. Oil spill moves downriver PITTSBURGH - Western Pennsylvania's water crisis eased yesterday after emergency supplies were hooked up and a million-gallon oil spill moved downstream into Ohio, where the governor said more than a million people could be affected. Ohio Gov. Richard Celeste declared a state of emergency for communities preparing to close water intake pipes or step up purification processes. Partial water service was expected yesterday afternoon in Pittsburgh suburbs where it was cut off to about 15,000 people Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, the federal Bureau of Standards entered the investigation into Saturday's spill which occurred when an Ashland Oil Co. tank collapsed along the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh. EXTRAS Chicken soup is 'penicillin' SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Court of Historical Review and Appeals, which rules on such questions as the origins of the martini and the fortune cookie, has decided that chicken soup deserves its reputation as "Jewish penicillin." Testifying last month in defense of the favored elixir of generations of Jewish parents, Dr. Michael Le Noir of the University of California Medical School said chicken soup indeed has medical benefits when fighting colds. "Although I am not sure if I got well because of the soup or because what my mother made tasted so awful I didn't want to drink anymore," he added. Public Defender Jeff Brown, representing the opposition at the mock trial, argued that the Greeks, Italians, and Chinese all used chicken soup in time of illness. Municipal Judge George Choppelas seemed swayed, however, by tes- timony from Joel Brooks, executive director of the American Jewish Congress, who cited the 12th century physician and rabbi Maimonides as saying chicken soup was "very good for you, but bad for the chicken." The chicken's side of the issue was dramatized by actor Wyman Spald- ing, who came costumed as a Rhode Island Red and pleaded with the audience to eat vegetables, not poultry.
