MSA clashes -with Heatley BY KRISTINE LALONDE Vice President and Chief Finan- cial Officer Farris Womack is con- ducting an investigation of an alter- cation between members of the Michigan Student Assembly's stu- dent rights committee and Director of Public Safety Leo Heatley. Womack's office is in charge of Public Safety. A student from MSA has filed a complaint about the treatment they received from Heatley with Univer- sity President James Duderstadt. MSA members Nick Navrick and Brad Adelman, an LSA sophomore, said they made an appointment with Heatley Oct. 14 to discuss Duder- stadt's inauguration. The students said they asked Heatley several ques- tions regarding the security costs and procedures of the inauguration. Navrick said that when he asked if any of the protester arrests were made by deputized security officers Heatley became angry and said the meeting was over. Heatley had another safety officer read him the trespassing code when he persisted in asking for informa- stion about the arrest of student ,protesters, Navrick said. Heatley said his office would not comment on the incident. The Ann Arbor Police Department confirmed that at least one of the arrests was made by a deputized public safety officer. "What I find disconcerting about the whole thing is that I'm a student and the fact that he wouldn't answer -my questions in a civil environment. Nothing warranted his action," Navrick said. Adelman added, "During the meeting he (Heatley) was dead set on not talking about the inauguration." Womack said, "We are doing what we need to do to discover what happened." He added that both sides were being contacted. He would not Comment further on the incident or the investigation. Student Rights Chair Julie Mur- ray said that she complained to Womack and asked that an mivestigation take place. "I wanted to go as much as possible through 'official channels." She said if noth- ing came of the investigation other options would be looked into.

The society aims to recreate medieval life. BY DAN COLE Supporters on each side of the tax- funded abortion issue differ over whether or not pregnancy is a likely result of rape. Margy Long, Public Affairs Coordinator of Planned Parenthood in Washtenaw County, said yesterday the chance for pregnancy is increased because of rape trauma. "Evidence suggests that the trauma associated with rape tends to increase the chance of ovulation in women, thus making pregnancies more likely," she said, citing recent articles in the Journal of Sex Edu- cation and Therapy. BUT MIKE Quillen, Wash- tenaw County's Field Coordinator of the Committe to End Tax-Funded Abortions, said conception from forcible rate is quite rare. "Numerous studies dating back to the late 1960s and early 1970s suggest the unlikely nature of preg- nancy as a result of rape," he said. "There is far more evidence sup- porting this than there is supporting the opposite notion." The comments came in response to Gov. James Blanchard's criticism Monday of the proposal to end tax- funded abortions, known as Proposal A on the Nov. 8 ballot. Blanchard said Monday Proposal A is extreme because it doesn't make exceptions for poor women who are victims of rape or incest. LONG NOTED that State Sen. Lana Pollack (D-Ann Arbor) and Second District U.S. Representative Carl Pursell (R-Plymouth) have also voiced their opposition to the pro- posal. Pollack is challenging Pursell for his congressional seat in Novem- ber. David Szymanski, a spokesperson for the Committee to End Tax- Funded Abortions, accused the Gov- ernor on Monday of trying to confuse voters. States that have exceptions for rape and incest have found the provision unenforcible, he said, which results in many women falsely claiming they were raped in order to qualify for state-paid abortions. He added that pregnancies do not often happen as a result of rape. Long yesterday attacked Szyman- ski's statements as ill-founded. "He has no way of knowing if pregnan- cies from rape are rare," she said. "It is generally not known at the time a pregnancy is determined if it is the result of rape." FIGURES show approximately 18,000 abortions are performed in Michigan every year, at a cost to the state of nearly $6 million. Of these, 300 are performed in Washtenaw County. Blanchard said Monday that the cost of supporting children who end up on the welfare rolls outstrips the cost of a state-paid abortion. "The cost for care of a child who is not wanted or is on public assis- tance is enormous," he said. "It far outweighs the cost of a medical procedure." A spokesperson for the Peoples' Campaign for Choice in Lansing said the average cost for pre-natal, birth, and post-natal care in Michigan is $3,153, compared to $144 for a first trimester abortion. A second tri- mester abortion costs $318, while first year support payments for children born in Michigan average $1,416. Medieval afi recreate a ti BY MICHELLE NELLETT Imagine a year-round medieval Halloween party. Imagine hand-to-hand combat in authentic steel and leather armor. Imagine being a duke or duchess, a maiden, a pirate, a king or queen in another century and place. The Society for Creative Anachronism is a modern attempt to recreate medieval life at its best. Close to 50 people from the Ann Arbor area have joined groups around the world in reliving this medieval fantasy. THE SOCIETY, founded in Berkeley, California in 1968 after a party with a medieval theme turned into a regular event, is more than just another entertaining or- ganization, said David Hoornstra, who has the title of "co-Seneschal of the Shire of Cynnabar." Hoornstra helped organize the Ann Arbor group in 1978. "It is a society to research and recreate the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Europe," said Linda Duvall, who is a twentieth-century school teacher. Although during her nine years as part of the Shire, she has also been known as Claire FitzWilliam, a twelfth century English autocrat. "The older it (the society) gets, the more research there is on how clothes looked and food tasted. It's exciting to see how close we can get," Duvall added. Taking a persona, from 600 to 1600 A.D., and creat- ing a costume befitting that person, provides society members with "a unique opportunity," said Joseph Radding, an 11-year member who originally joined the group at Northwestern University. Radding's persona, Eliahu ben Itzhak, has climbed the medieval social ladder from painter to twice-crowned king. EVERYONE BEGINS on the same level within the society and can become distinguished through their medieval talents - ranging from medieval combat to dance, calligraphy, and costume making, Radding said. The "Shire" meets weekly in East Quad on Monday nights. Coronations occur at a special weekend tournament cionados tme gone b held every six months. Hand-to-hand combat in which competitors use real armor and wooden weapons deter- mines who becomes royalty, The 500 to 700 participants are properly trained before the competition, Radding ex- plained. The tournament and the organization hinge on the honor system. Fighters judge when a blow would have eliminated them in real life and act accordingly. The winner is declared prince or princess of Middle King- dom, one of 12 kingdoms in North America, for a half year and then takes the throne as king or queen. Duvall described the year-round weekend festivals as the "real events" of the society. She-said each festival consists of art and science con- tests and merchant booths. Members, who must wear their garb, partake in a feast of period recipes. After eat- ing, the king and queen hold court and distribute awards. The day ends with medieval dancing and revelry. THIS TYPE of organization appeals to a variety of ages and interests and has a flexible time commitment, Duvall said. LSA senior Eric Panek, one of about 12 students cur- rently involved in the Shire of Cynnabar, came to the society out of interest in fencing. His persona, a fifth century Scot-Irish pirate is working with LSA senior Sean O'Dea's Girhard vum Eisenherz on the art of brew- ing. Both also participate in the combat sports. The society remains mostly a student group, Hoorn- stra said, since the majority of members either have been or are currently in college. NAMED by science fiction author Marion Zimmer Bradley, the society lives up to its claim of "anachronism," being out of proper time. Hoornstra said of his Shire, "We're a relatively pro- fessional group. Activities are open for everyone. If there's an interest area we'll have a subcommittee or guild formed to teach it." "The emphasis is on everything Middle Ages in a very real way." Plane crash kills 19 in Peruvian Andes LIMA, Peru (AP) - An Aero- peru plane carrying 69 people crashed in the Andes shortly after takeoff yesterday, killing at least 19 people, authorities reported. They said the 50 other passengers and crew were injured. Some passengers were believed to be foreign tourists, the officials reported, but they did not release the identities or nationalities of the dead and injured. Lima police said five of the injured were foreigners. Officials said the cause of the crash had not been determined. A Peruvian congressman on Aeroperu Flight 771 said there was an explosion aboard just after takeoff. Reports on the number of deaths conflicted. Puno state Gov. Victor Urbiola put the toll at 22. He spoke in a ra- dio interview after visiting the crash site 540 miles southeast of Lima. Dr. Percy Cadenas, chief physi- cian at the Juliaca hospital, where the injured were taken, said as many as 20 people perished. Jose Guerra, president of the state- run airline, said the plane was filled to capacity with 69 people and 50 survived the crash, which occurred soon after the Dutch-built Fokker F- 28 left the Manco Capac airport at Juliaca in the Andes.
