"If they would just legalize all drugs, it would be fine - everyone would just be on a high. We're here for the good of mankind," said Joe Forcier, an LSA senior who appeared to be enjoying the Bash. ADAM Chandler, editor in chief of Henry Ford Community College's campus newspaper, was walking through the Diag searching for someone to trade him a joint for three pineapple fruit bars. "I'm really disappointed," he said of the Bash, "I think there should be more pot go- ing around, some music, frisbee contests, and some crochet or croquet... whatever." Police made no arrests and gave out no citations at Friday's event. Ann Arbor Sgt. Alan Hartwig said University public safety officials asked the department to "stay off the Diag area proper" during the day.

Both candidates accused the other of suffering from election-eve nerves. "I think he's (DeVarti) having some problems with his campaign," Ouimet said, referring to DeVarti's last minute response. On a similar note, DeVarti said of Ouimet: "I think he's panicking." BUSINESS IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Peace emphasized on Easter VATICAN CITY - Christians worldwide looked beyond global strife on Easter Sunday, praying for a peaceful end to the world's unrest and bloodshed. In his traditional Easter address in Vatican City, Pope John Paul II told 100,000 people in St. Peter's Square and a broadcast audience of millions to remember people around the world who suffer from injustice and war. "Pray for peace in the world, for justice, pray for the rights of man, espe- cially for religious freedom," he said. In Jerusalem, about 1,000 faithful joined in services at the site where most Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead. But church officials said only about half as many people came as last year to the services at the 12th-century church of the Holy Sepulcher. Many were deterred by four months of violence in the occupied territories. India to surpass China's pop. WASHINGTON - India could surpass China as the world's most populous nation in the not too distant future, the Census Bureau said. China has long been the world's most heavily populated nation, cur- rently containing one in five of the Earth's people. But, "the time is now forseeable when India will take over the number one spot, reflecting a population growth rate that is nearly twice as high as China's," the bureau reported yesterday. "The latest projections suggest that India's population may surpass China's in less than 60 years, or before today's youngsters in both coun- tries reach old age," the bureau said in its new "World Population Profile: 1987." Although China currently contains 1.1 million people to India's .8 million, India's population is growing at 2.1 percent annually compared to China's 1.3 percent. Heroin centered in Lebanon WASHINGTON - Lebanon, long known as a supplier of hashish, has become one of the world's big heroin centers in the past few years as its economy and central government have collapsed, U.S officials said. "Almost all the militias are involved in some way in the trafficking of drugs," one intelligence official said. Lebanon's role in the world's drug trade is discussed in the State De- partment's March report on narcotics. "Lebanon is reportedly-the world's major producer of hashish, as well as a key processing and transit point for heroin," the department'said in its report called "International Narcotics Control Strategy Report." The United States has few statistics about Lebanon's drug trade, but it reportedly is a more than $200 million-a-year business. Congressional report points to cutbacks in mental health WASHINGTON - Federally supported mental health services have suffered crippling cuts in staff and dollars during the Reagan administra- tion, and the programs should be restored to pre-1981 levels or higher, a bipartisan House committee said in a report released yesterday. The report, issued by the Government Operations Committee, says the government is spending $73 billion on mental health services that are fragmented, inappropriate, ineffective or desperately lacking. The committee also accused the Office of Management and Budget of dictating a staff cut of 88 percent at one mental health division and said the budget-writing agency must not be allowed to set staffing levels.

The issue has divided experts on rent control nationwide as fiercely it has locally between the pro-rent control Ann Arbor Citizens for Fair Rent and their well-financed oppo- nents, Citizens for Ann Arbor's Fu- Vital Careers with a Vital Institution ture. Members of Citizens for Ann Arbor's Future have said rent control would prevent landlords from per- forming adequate maintenance, lead to conversions of rental property into condominiums and privately owned homes, and cause a shift in property taxes to homeowners. But Citizens for Fair Rent - pointing to rents that have increased at a rate exceeding inflation in recent years- argues that strict enforce- ment of the housing code, and a provision of their ordinance prevent- ing landlords from increasing rents for properties not up to code, will ensure that rental units are kept in good condition. Albert Sukoff, former planner at the University of California-Berke- ley, said his experience there has shown that rental housing falls into disrepair under rent control. "Maintenance is where you abso- lutely have to cut back," Sukoff said. BUT Phyllis Salowe-Kaye, president of the New Jersey Tenant's Organization, responded that rent control actually aids property main- tenance. Salowe-Kaye said the ordi- nance would encourage proper main- tenance because it only allows rent increases for apartments which sat- isfy city housing code requirements. Salowe-Kaye added that rent con- trol proposals have worked well in New Jersey, where, in 112 out of 115 cases, city councils passed the ordinance without putting the issue up to a city-wide vote. Rent control, she said, has not caused landlords to convert rental property to condominiums or single See Rent, Page 5 4 Nowhere is more information about world events collected, analyzed, and managed by more capable people than at CIA.

Special Rewards for Special Individuals Pranksters panic Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) - A disc-jockey's on-the-air account of an unidentified flying object causing commotion in a park was so convincing that some people claimed they witnessed the mysterious rumble and flash of light. "People are seeing it. But it ain't there," said Fred Honesberger, news director for KDKA-AM, the station that broadcast the April Fool's Day joke. "We just had a lady call who said she saw a bunch of gray trucks go in led by a jeep. These people are claiming to have seen that thing. But we started it all," Honesberger said, chuckling, Not everyone was laughing. Worried listeners flooded the switchboard at the Alleghany County police station in North Park. Sgt. William Wolverton repeatedly assured callers there was nothing going on and that the radio report had been a hoax.
