Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, April 6, 1988 Groups debate Michigan waste site LANSING (AP) - The regional radioactive waste dump proposed for Michigan could wind up soliciting business from all over the country, a prominent anti- nuclear activist warned yesterday. Michigan already has been selected as the "host state" for a regional dump to store low-level radioactive wastes generated here and in Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Such a dump is in- tended to store only low-level radioactive waste materi- als generated in the seven states. Opponents such as Mary Sinclair of Midland are worried that a Michigan dump could end up accepting non-midwest waste. Sinclair has helped put together a new group called the Don't Waste Michigan Campaign. The group, which wants to pressure Michigan into pulling out of the agreement, said it's concerned that the nation may be trying to build more dumps than it needs. Since 1980, when the federal government set a deadline for states to come up with plans for disposing of the radioactive waste, the amount of waste generated has declined to the point where two, three, or four sites could handle the waste, instead of 13 or more. Sinclair said. "We won't be able to turn waste away because there will be 15 dumps competing for waste that can fit in two dumps." said Ellen Beal, another anti-dump organizer. HEALTH & FITNESS Turnout Continued from Page 1 versial ballot initiative, he said. Jernigan said the two parties would still work together on coun- cil. "We will sit down and work with the Democrats. We will try to strike a balance," Jernigan said. With the new GOP majority, Jernigan hopes to pass his police cadet proposal. Cadets, who would patrol high crime areas and relieve. the police officers' clerical burden, would not be sworn officers and could not make arrests. City Democratic Party Chair Mary Reilly agreed that a massive campaign by Citizens for Ann Ar- bor's Future brought out rent control opponents. "Rent control screwed us," Reilly said. She added that the rent control campaign was separate from the city Democratic party, though several council Democrats supported the proposal. Official results from Monday's election were released yesterday by the City Clerk's office. 44 What's - Happening Recreational Sports " HORSEBACK RIDING DAY TRIP TRIP DATE: SUNDAY, APRIL 17 10am - 4pm PRE-TRIP MEETING: THURSDAY, APRIL 7pm North Campus Rec.

Hi*jackin1g Continued from Page 1 The hijackers, brandishing pistols and hand grenades, identified them- selves only as Arabs. But their demands, reported by Iranian govern- ment media, echoed those of Iranian- backed Shiite Moslems holding American hostages in Lebanon. They demanded fuel for the aircraft and threatened to blow it up if the Iranians approached. IRNA initially said the Iranians refueled the plane, but later said the hijackers were still requesting fuel. Iranian security forces surrounded the plane at Mashhad airport to keep it from taking off, IRNA and Tehran Radio said. Kuwait urged Iran to handle the incident "wisely" and requested that the aircraft not be allowed to leave. Iran said it would try to resolve the crisis peacefully but said the plane would have to leave if it was not re- solved quickly. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Meese recommends Justice Department replacements WASHINGTON - Attorney General Edwin Meese yesterday an- nounced replacements for the No. 2 and No. 3 positions in the Justice Department, but was unable to fill the post vacated by last week's protest resignation of Assistant Attorney General William Weld. Meese said he would recommend John Shepherd, a past president of the American Bar Association, and Francis Keating, a top Treasury Depart- ment law enforcement official, for the two top-level Justice Department posts. Shepard would replace Deputy Attorney General Arnold Burns. He re- signed a week ago along with Weld, then head of the criminal division, out of what department sources said was concerned that the criminal in- vestigation of Meese by independent counsel James McKay was hurting the department's operations and its image. West Bank violence continues JERUSALEM - Soldiers fired at "suspicious shadows" yesterday in south Lebanon and fought Palestinian guerillas trying to cross the border, killing two, the army said. Four Israelis were reported wounded. In the Gaza Strip, soldiers fired rubber bullets at protesters, putting out the left eye of a 16-year-old Palestinian, the army said. It was among the few violent incidents in a relatively quiet day in the occupied West Bank, where an Arab rebellion began Dec. 8. Forty-one high school students about to be drafted wrote Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin saying they would "not take part in acts of op- pression and occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip." The number writing such letters now stands at 107. Secretary of State George Shultz went to Jordon and Syria promoting the U.S. peace plan. He got an inconclusive response from King Hussein of Jordon, whose approval is considered essential. Mofford takes Mecham 's seat PHOENIX - Rose Mofford became Arizona's 18th governor, and first woman chief executive yesterday, replacing Evan Mecham who was con- victed and removed by a Senate impeachment court. "Little did I realize 47 years ago that this would happen," she told an invitation-only group of staff members in her protocol office. "My regret is that I didn't have all of my friends with us today. This is a day that I will never forget for the rest of my life." Mofford, 65, scheduled a late-afternoon news conference yesterday but cancelled all other appearances and allowed only a pool television camera to her swearing-in ceremony in the governor's offices. At least one TV station broadcast the brief ceremony live. Study calls U.S. diet too fatty WASHINGTON - Americans are eating too much animal fat and government regulations make it difficult for the food industry to market leaner and more healthful meats and dairy products, a scientific panel said yesterday. Although consumption of animal fat has gone down, many Americans still are eating their way to poor health with too much cholesterol, fatty acids, and salt, and not enough foods that provide the needed calcium and iron said a report by a committee of the National Research Council. A change in some government regulations, along with education of consumers and technological advances by manufacturers of animal food products could correct the problems relatively quickly, said Titothy Hammonds of the supermarket industry's Food Marketing Institute, a member of the committee. 0 O-* r FULL PRIVI EGE ADULT NAUTILUS CLUB MEMBERSHIPS JUST $25.00 PER MONTH ANN ARBOR 'Y' 350 S. FIFTH AVE. 663-0536 Advertisement EXTRAS 0 Since 1960, hormone levels Pumping iron has replaced \W/ flower power. Pinstripes have replaced paisley. And Wall Street has replaced Woodstock. But of all the major changes that have taken place since the 60's, one is hardly visible at all: the change that has taken place in the Pill. In 1960, the Pill contained as much as 150 mcgs. of the hormone estrogen. Today, it's down to 35 mcgs. or less. That's afraction of the original dosage. Yet, today's Pill is as effective as yesterday's. In fact, it's still the most effective birth control available other than sterilization. But is the Pill right for you? You should see your doctor to help you answer that. If the answer is yes, then the ultimate decision is yours. And it's important that you learn all you can about oral contraceptives. First and foremost, what are the risks? Does the Pill cause cancer? Will it make you less fertile? Do you need to take a rest from it? These are just a few questions that have sur- rounded the Pill since 1960. Ques- tions which must be addressed by you and your physician. What about the Pill and breast cancer? Although there are conflict- ing reports concerning this issue, the Centers for Disease Control reported that women who took the Pill, even for 15 years, ran no higher risk of breast cancer than women who didn't. The CDC also reported that ovarian and uterine cancer are substantially less common among women who use oral contraceptives. The Pill has been shown to have other health benefits as well. Pill S - aa_-c: :- U in the Pill have indicate that if you were, fertile before you took the Pill, taking it will not affect your ability to have children later. Some women may experience a short period of read- justment after discontinuing the Pill. Even so, most women usually become pregnant soon. One piece of advice you may have heard if you're on the Pill is that you should take an occasional rest from it. Yet there's no medical basis for this advice. Furthermore, a rest could turn out to be anything but restful, since switching to a less effective form of birth control increases your chances for un- planned pregnancy. Now that you know what the risks aren't, you should know what the risks are. For example, if you are taking the Pill, you should not smoke. Especially if you are over 35. Cigarette smoking is known to increase the risk of serious and pos- sibly life-threatening adverse effects on the heart and blood vessels from Pill use. What's more, women with certain conditions or medical histo- ries should not use the Pill. Even if you're already on the Pill, you should see your doctor at least once a year. And read the patient USAir squelches plane humor SAN DIEGO - In laid-back California, a little levity has been a hallmark at PSA. But the commuter airline's new parent, USAir, is lowering the curtain on one PSA feature: stand-up routines by flight attendants. For example, on a recent flight from San Jose to Los Angeles, PSA flight attendant Marka McDougall went into her act as the engines revved up. "Ladies and gentlemen," McDougall said, "We'd like to welcome you aboard Flight 1733 on our way to Seattle." Following a panicky gasp in the cabin, McDougall added: "Just kidding, I wanted to see if you were listening." McDougall, who says about 10 pecent of her colleagues go for such laughs, was on a roll. "If you are traveling with infants or small children, or anyone resembling a small child, place your mask on first, then assist the child - providing they've been good," she said. But the managers of USAir are not amused, and this week is McDougall's last as a kidder. USAir is completing a $385 million takeover of PSA.
