4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 24, 1988 TV show examines disarmament BY FRAN OBEID If you're still pondering which presidential candidate to vote for, "Mandate from Main Street," could make up your mind. The one-hour documentary, to be broadcast at 10 p.m. tonight on cable station WTBS, explains the country's pre- sent nuclear situation and the crucial policy-making decisions that face the next president. "The consideration of arms con- trol and disarmament in the film goes far beyond the superficial treatment of these issues given so far in the presidential campaign," said Aerospace Engineering Prof. John Taylor, a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists, a national group which co-sponsored the docu- mentary. The program shows a group of 15 Americans from all walks of life watching pre-taped segments of ex- perts discussing nuclear arms and foreign policy. The experts include Ambassador Max Kampelman, head of the current U.S. delegation for nuclear and space arms negotiations; Suzanne Massie, Soviet specialist and adviser to President Reagan; Admiral Robert Inman, National Security Adminis- tration director for the Carter admin- istration and current CIA deputy di- rector; and Sidney Graybeal, the consultative commissioner for im- plementing the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty. Major topics to be addressed in- clude: U.S.-Soviet relations, arms control, the Strategic Arms Reduc- tion Treaty, "Star Wars," national security, and advice to the next pres- ident. After hearing the experts, the citizens viewing the film will act as a discussion panel, incorporating the knowledge of experts with their own personal feelings on difficult ques- tions: Should the United States con- tinue research on the high-priced Strategic Defense Initiative? Who is truly responsible for improved rela- tions with the Soviets? Is it the Reagan administration, or is it a part of Soviet leader Mikhail Gor- bachev's restructuring of the Soviet Union? Taylor hopes that discussion groups at the University will form to view and talk about the program. He has a videotape of the program to loan to interested groups, he said. l Regents approve '89-'90 budge BY STEVE KNOPPER An 8.9 percent student tuition in- crease for next year will be part of the University's new plan to raise its state funding. The University's Board of Regents unanimously approved the plan to request an extra $13.6 million from the State Legislature, which, if ap- proved by the legislature, would boost total state funding of the Uni- versity to $261 million. This year's request is a little dif- ferent from past years. Previously, the University requested a set amount of money to meet its own needs. But the new proposal is based on the state's own growth rate. For example, if the state economy grows 6 percent, the University will request an 8 percent increase in state funding. But if the state growth rate remains low, student tuition could reach even higher plateaus. University and state officials have frequently wrangled over tuition and state funds in a budgetary vicious LSA senior Sarah Cooley, cam- pus liaison for Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament, said WAND will obtain a tape of the broadcast and air it later in discussion groups. t request circle. Traditionally, the University has requested a funding increase much higher than it realistically expected, accepted what the state provided, and made up the difference with tuition increases. These tuition hikes - 25 percent over the last three years - have irked state legislators even more.

Dives t Continued from Page 1 Two regents, Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) and Veronica Smith (R- Grosse Ile), abstained from the vote Friday. Baker cited the "prudent in- vestor's rule" as a partial reason for his abstention. University investments in the South Africa Free Fund - an alter- native fund for companies who do not invest in South Africa - has yielded less returns than investments in all companies, he said. The differ- ence in these figures, Baker said, should raise questions whether the University is spending its money wisely.

This second threatening statement in three days from the Pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad demanded the release of Lebanese and Palestinian holy war- riors from jails in all nations, non-intervention in Lebanese affairs, and payment of war reparations to the Lebanese people. In Milan, Italy, Police said yesterday that a Lebanese woman arrested there planned to deliver photographs of these same American hostages to an Italian man who has been linked to arms scandals and the Italian secret service. Italian media speculated that the man may have been acting as a go- between in efforts to free hostages held in Lebanon. Marcos faces more charges HONOLULU - Ferdinand Marcos claims he is relieved that he has finally been indicted by the United States and will have a chance to defend himself in court, but the deposed Philippine president has plenty of other legal troubles. Friday, the day after the U.S. signed an agreement with the Philippine government to allow military bases to remain in that nation, Marcos was indicted in New York, and is now the target of investigations or lawsuits in five other states and the Philippines. Dante Fascell, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Saturday that Marcos has been subpoenaed to appear before the Asian and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee. There have also been reports that Marcos funneled millions of dollars into the 1980 and 1984 campaigns of Pres- ident Reagan and Vice President George Bush. Marcos lost head-of-state immunity after fleeing to Hawaii in February 1986 during the civilian-military revolt in the Philippines. Bush ads stir controversy WASHINGTON - Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Lloyd: Bentsen and former Republican Presidential candidate Bob Dole appeared yesterday on ABC-TV's "This Week With David Brinkley", discussing in., part questions concerning the accuracy of Bush campaign commercials. "I think that's one of the reasons the American people will turn, against them, with that kind of campaign," Bentsen said, "and that's why I think we're going to put it all together." "I don't think that's the case," replied Dole, but then added, "I'm not involved in the Bush campaign. I can defend George Bush, but I'm not sure I can defend every ad." Kitty Dukakis, the Democratic nominee's wife, yesterday on CBS- TV's "Face the Nation", said Bush campaign charges reminded her of the "worst kind of McCarthy-like technique" from the communist-hunting 1950's, and of the dirty tricks of President Nixon's election campaigns. Hurricane hits Nicaragua; 300,000 homeless, 50 dead MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Hurricane Joan killed at least 50 people and left 300,000 homeless in its rampage across Nicaragua, officials said yesterday. Rain drenched the country while the government tried to organize rescue efforts and restore communications. The storm left another 21 people dead in Costa Rica and four dead in Panama, bringing the death toll for its six-day trip across the Caribbean to at least 111. More than 150 people were missing. President Daniel Ortega said Cuban planes were expected to bring, medicine, clothes, and tents to Bluefields, another town devastated by the storm. Ortega, asked whether the United States should send aid, replied, "The best humanitarian aid the United States could give us would be to stop its terrorist policies against Nicaragua." EXTRAS 'When does a person get to be a part of art?' OTTAWA, Kan. - About 700 people wearng red and blue shirts gathered on a soybean field Saturday to be molded into a piece of art by an artist known for his unusual creations. Stan Herd popped the top off his latest land-art creation: a five-acre depiction of two partially crumpled Pepsi and Coca-Cola soda pop cans. The people provided the color: Herd and his unusual ability to sculpt farm land added the design. The title of the work: "The Ottawa Beanfield Cola War." "When does a person get a chance to be a part of art?" said Richard Rudzzinski, 45, of Wichita, who stood near the bottom of the Pepsi can. Herd said the work was a reminder that people need to take better care of the environment. Before "Cola Wars," Herd's field art included a vase of sunflowers on a checkered table cloth plowed on a field near Lawrence.
