"This week is Tropical Rainforest Week, and people need to realize the problems that exist and how these problems are connected to their own lives." But in the end, she said, the real pressure for change has to come from within the countries, not just from well-intention outsiders. who were issued weapons in 1973, still use the .38 caliber revolvers, except for the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team on the Bloomington campus. THE UNIVERSITY'S de- partment of Public Safety declined to respond to repeated inquiries about the weapons carried by their top two After showing a videotape, "Our Threatened Heritage," Cromwell dis- cussed the endangered rainforests of South America and what is being done to protect them. "When rainforests are cut down to raise cattle and plant farms... it demonstrates a real fast diminishing returns rate. Although the newly cleared rainforest land produces at first, a few years down the road it is no longer producing and those who cleared it must move on, leaving be- hind useless land." She went on to discuss plans for preserving the rainforests. One of the most recent trends is to forgive World Bank debts in affected coun- tries. In exchange for the cancellation of millions of dollars of debts, South American countries place aside agreed-upon amounts of rainforest lands for preservation. officers, Leo Heatley and Robert Pifer, who are deputized under the Washtenaw County Sheriff. Sheriff Ronald Schebil suggested that they operate under the county's guidelines for "plainclothes deputies," which allow for revolvers but not semi-au- tomatic handguns. Ann Arbor city councilmember Jeff Epton (D-Third Ward) did not approve of Police Chief Corbett's action. "I'm real concerned. I'm planning on doing something... that's a council-level decision that shouldn't be made by the police de- partment." Epton said he believes the coun- cil's five democrats will support a review of the decision. He added that it seems to have become a partisan issue, with the Republicans, who outnumber Democrats 6 to 5, con- tent to "relinquish responsibility" for police actions. Councilmember Ingrid Sheldon (R-Second Ward) says she is "very supportive of it [Corbett's deci- sion]," but that she would be willing to listen and contribute to a discus- sion of the issue. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Dunn sues GOP for funds LANSING - Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jim Dunn filed a law- suit against his own party yesterday, saying a national GOP committee crippled his campaign by breaking a $638,000 contribution promise. Dunn's lawsuit names as defendants the Republican National Comr- mittee and one of its arms, the National Republican Senatorial Committee. It seeks an emergency injunction ordering the senatorial com- mittee to come up with about $438,000 for his campaign. Dunn said he received $200,000 from the committee, but was told he wouldn't get the rest. The former member of congress said he filed the lawsuit as a last resor to get the money in time to pay for television ads before the Nov. 8 elecL tion. "You don't lightly choose to sue a national party. It was a tough decis- ion to make," he said. Palestinian bullets, grenades may show change in tactics JERUSALEM - Yesterday Palestinians hurled a grenade at a troop bus, following the destruction of four Palestinian homes by Israeli soldiers. Noting an increased use of guns and grenades by Palestinian activists, Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin suggested there had been a shift ii Palestinian tactics from stones to more sophisticated weapons. Rabin said he believed the use of bullets by Palestinians may be ar effort to prod PLO leaders into taking a stand politically on negotiations with Israel. He said that yesterday's incident was the third time grenades had been used recently and that a village leader had been killed with aui assault rifle by PLO enforcers. PLO leaders have said Palestinian protesters had access to weapons but had been instructed not to use them in confrontations with Israelis. Mich. land bill sent to Reagan WASHINGTON - Legislation regarding the transfer of 544 small parcels of federal land to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources was sent to President Reagan yesterday to be signed into law. The 537 islands, located in Michigan lakes and rivers, cover a total of 1,500 acres. They won't come under state control for about six months so people who believe they own the land will have time to press claims. Rep. Dale Kildee, a Flint Democrat and author of the bill, said than placing land under control of the Michigan Department of Natural Re- sources would allow for more intensive management than the federal government could provide. Sen. Donald Riegle, D-Mich., a sponsor of the bill, said it would al low the state to protect natural wildlife, fish, and plant habitats on the islands. Congress OKs military bill WASHINGTON -Congress overwhelmingly passed legislation yes- terday that authorizes the Pentagon to close unneeded military bases. The Defense Department estimates that between $2 billion and $5 bil- lion a year can be saved if it is permitted to pare down its list of 3,800 military installations. "We know we cannot afford excess bases that we don't need... ," said Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., chairman of the Armed Services Committee. The bill sets up a complicated base-closing procedure that essentially cuts through the thicket of laws enacted by Congress in the past decade to thwart Pentagon efforts to shut down bases. Nunn and Sen. John Warner, R-Va., the ranking Republican on the Armed Services panel, said that no list of bases to be closed has yet been prepared. No base closures would begin before 1990. EXTRAS Lonely tree replaces light extravaganza at Domino's ANN ARBOR (AP) - The Christmas lights at Domino's Farms, which could be seen from US-23, will not be on this year, thanks to the tremendous traffic problems last year's display caused. "Last year's light display created unanticipated traffic problems for out employees and neighbors," said Richard Brunvand, spokesperson fot Domino's. Last year's extravagant show drew an estimated 450,000 visitors between early December and January, causing back-ups onto US 23. Brunvand said the decision by owner Tom Monaghan was also due td last year's whopping electric bill for the 270,000 lights in the display. It cost the company "hundreds of thousands of dollars," said Domino's Farms vice president for activities, Philip White. This year, the company will erect a lone Christmas tree on its corporate lawn. 4 4 { 4 I 'U COLLEGE STUDENTS: MONEY is now available for your EDUCATION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN RECEIVING Scholarships*, Fellowships*.
