a p Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, December 1, 1988 pposition head speaks on Chile BY KRISTIN HOFFMAN Carlos Dupre, a Chilean leader of the opposition campaign that defeated General Augusto Pinochet in Oc- tober, will address Chile's current polical situation tonight. Dupre will highlight the changes his party, the Christian Democrats, will seek after next December's election - the first election to be held since parliament was dissolved in 1973. Dupre's party wants to reform the way in which Chile's current con- stitution, authored by Pinochet, can be amended. The current constitution cinnot be changed without going through at least a five-year process involving the parliament, the military's National Security Council (which has veto power), and a popular vote. Next year's elected government will not be democratic because some representatives are to be appointed, per the constitution, said Dupre. Pinochet has said that change in the constitution is a threat to his vision of "autoritarian democracy" that he plans for Chile's future. The coalition of 16 liberal parties - which range from conservative left to radical - seek different levels of reform. Students, who have been ardent opposers of Pinochet, do not support macro-economic changes, but redistribution of wealth and access to participation in the econ- omy for the poor. This is also the position of Dupre's party. Professor Martin Poblete, of Columbia University, will also speak on Chile's current human rights situation and the Catholic Church. Poblete will focus on the Catholic church's promotion of re- democratization in Chile, and its role in the documentation and defense of human rights. The church has received 215,000 requests since 1976 for assistance due to human rights violations com- mitted by the military, as well as issueing 19,000 writs of habeus corpus. Poblete reports that torture, arbitrary arrests and imprisonment, as well as internal exile are still com- mon. When American delegates from the AFL/CIO went to Chile to ex- press support for the plebicite, they JOSE JUAREZ/DaVyv Carlos Dupre addresses CDLA members at an informal pot- luck last night. were beaten during a protest held by the opposition. Journalists are often arrested, tried in military courts, jailed, or in- ternally exiled. Dupre is a lawyer and served as a representative in Chile's Chamber of Deputies from 1965-'73. He served during an extremely turbulent period in Chile's history. The president of Chile, Salvador Allende, was mur- dered in 1973 after several years of internal strife and economic disorder. A military regime took power after Allende's murder, headed by General Pinochet. Dupre and Poblete, who will speak at Rackham Amphitheatre at 8 p.m., are sponsored by the Coalition for Democracy in Latin America, a group that works to disseminate in- formation about Latin America.

Theatre UAC/SOUNDSTAGE PRESENTS SATTELI SWAY TO THE BEAT OF TORONTO'S HOTTEST REGGAE BAND IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Analyst proposes alternatives to college prepayment plan DETROIT - Five times as many taxpayers as expected are investing their money in Michigan's new college program, but a financial analyst says most of them should put their funds elsewhere. More than 27,000 state residents took out bank loans to lock in a col- lege education for their children through the Michigan Education Trust program by making lump sum payments ranging from $6,756 to $9,152. However, financial planner Mark Stenberg, with the Financial Educa- tion Association in Detroit, said families using loans to prepay their children's college tuition were making a mistake. . Stenberg warned that the program pays only tuition costs which is just one third of the total expense of putting a child through college. He rec- ommends alternatives which have a higher rate of return and are subject to lower taxes such as U.S. EE Savings Bonds and tax-free mutual funds. Soviets permit free radio WASHINGTON - The Kremlin has shut down thousands of broadcast jamming devices, allowing Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe to be heard "loud and clear" across the Soviet Union and most of Eastern Eu- rope for the first time in 38 years, government officials said yesterday. "It's another marker in the Soviet march toward trying to be an acceptable citizen of the world community," said Charles Wick, U.S. In- formation Agency director. Wick said the move was likely timed to coincide with the meeting of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev with President Reagan and President- elect George Bush next week in New York. The jamming cessation will allow millions of Eastern European and Soviet citizens to hear both American and other Western news analyses in their own languages. U.N. censures U.S. on Arafat UNITED NATIONS - The General Assembly yesterday censured the United States by a vote of 151-2 and gave it 24 hours to reverse itself and grant a visa to PLO chair Yasser Arafat so he can speak here. The world body, spurred on by- the Arab nations, will ask for an extraordinary protest session in Geneva in mid-December to hear the Palestine Liberation Organization leader if the United States persists in its refusal, as expected. Arafat has said he wants to explain the new position taken by the Palestine National Council in implicitly recognizing Israel by accepting U.N. resolutions on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Secretary of State George Shultz declared yesterday that the United States would not reverse its decision. The vote in the 159-member assembly was conducted in a rare roll call ballot requested by Jordan, a departure from the standard electronic voting. Banks face possible closing WASHINGTON - A top. federal bank regulator said yesterday that $30 billion should be spent next year to close the nation's worst 100 savings institutions quickly and that it could be done without inflating the federal budget deficit. Until now the S&L industry has been paying for its own rescue through an assessment levied by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. But the FSLIC is technically insolvent. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chair William Seidman said the res- cue plan has been fine in theory, but in practice could be increasing the ultimate cost. Seidman's emphasis on quickly closing seriously insolvent S&Ls dif- fers sharply from the views of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, re- sponsible for regulating the industry. The bank's approach has been to rescue most failed S&Ls and keep them open. EXTRAS Couple snags $10,000 for shaving cream carpeting LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Albert and Judy Linkenberg started with 1,200 cans of shaving cream and finished with a house filled two-feet deep with minty-selling cream and $10,000. The Kentucky couple lathered up radio station WLRS-FM for the five- digit shave by fulfilling the station's contest challenge: "What would you do for $10,000?" A committee chose the shaving-cream idea because it created an atmosphere that was fun but safe, said Toney Brooks, president of Radio One, which owns WLRS. If the Linkenbergs were upsuccessful, the station would have let the runner-up try his stunt - swimming across the Ohio River with a bottle of wine and glasses cemented to a card table on his back, Brooks said.
