The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 20, 1989- Page 3 Soviet troops to remove nuclear arms t VIENNA, Austria (AP) - The 1050,000 Soviet troops being pulled out of Eastern Europe will take the niuclear missiles and other arms un- der their control with them, the So- viet foreign minister said yesterday. A NATO spokesperson welcomed the announcement by Foreign Min- ister Eduard Shevardnadze as encour- aging. U.S. arms negotiator Stephen Ledogar said the speech was "very upbeat, very positive," but warned 9 against reading more into the state- ment than the Kremlin intended. Shevardnadze's speech came on the final day of a gathering that pro- duced a 35-nation human rights ac- cord. Shevardnadze said the agree- ment was the product of a changing relationship between and East and West. The agreement also called for freer travel, emigration, speech and religious practices. "The Vienna meeting has shaken up the Iron Curtain, weakened its rusty supports, made new breaches in it and hastened its corrosion," he said, referring to the East-West divi- sion as Winston Churchill described it 40 years ago. "Truth must be visible," said Shevardnadze in promising that the Kremlin would publish before the end of the month a timetable for troop removal. Soviet President Mikhail Gor- bachev, in a unilateral move, an- nounced in December that Soviet forces would be cut by 500,000 sol- diers, including 50,000 stationed in Eastern Europe. Shevardnadze said the troops de- parting Eastern Europe will take with them "all their organic arma- ments, including tactical nuclear systems." He also said the Soviet Union has stopped modernizing its short-range nuclear weapons and called on the United States to follow suit. Those arms are tactical missiles with a range of less than 312 miles. The Soviet Union and the United States signed an accord more than a year ago to eliminate all intermedi- ate-range nuclear forces, and are negotiating for deep cuts in strategic arms. Ledogar, U.S ambassador to arms talks that will start in March, said modernization is an option the United States would like to keep until NATO and the Soviet-led War- saw Pact have an equal number of troops, and other non-nuclear forces. "We don't want to abandon the nuclear leg of the deterrent until we have a much better situation on conventional forces," he told the Associated Press. During a brief exchange with re- porters after his speech, Shevard- nadze made it clear that only short- range missiles that are part of the military units to be withdrawn will be dismantled without conditions. He said he could not say what percentage of the Kremlin's short- range stockpile would remain de- ployed but that these figures and others will be released in detail before the March 9 start of the Con- ventional Armed Forces in Europe negotiations. GEO rallies for support of new contract, salary raise BY SCOTT LAHDE A rally to stir teaching assistants' in- terest in bargaining their new contracts yesterday drew more people and enthusi- asm than the TA union's steering committee had expected, as about 60 gathered in the Diag. Carrying signs and chanting, mem- bers of the Graduate Employees Organiza- tion attempted to drum up support for their concerns. For example, the GEO op- poses the "Ten-Term Rule," which limits the number of terms a graduate student can earn money for teaching. During the rally, students nearing their tenth term expressed fear that the ten- term rule will hurt them financially. The graduate students also demanded smaller classes and paid training for TAs. GEO members appealed to the Uni- versity's Board of Regents yesterday on the class size issue, asserting that under- graduate education suffers due to large class sections. "TA training is a half step toward better education, class size is the other half," said GEO President Don Demetri- ades. But generally, the TA ralliers said they need a salary increase more than any other concession from the University, be- cause "most people feel it a big strain to live here," said Rackham graduate student Isabelle Byrnes. "We want the same amount as the University tuition was increased," said graduate student Reed Shick. Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Colleen Dolan-Greene said yester- day the two sides are scheduled to meet today at four p.m. "We are going over the proposal to- morrow and then we will later submit a counter-proposal," Greene said. The GEO has sponsored several rallies since it was formed in 1975, some garner- ing as many as 350 people. But this year, many TAs expected initial support to be low because contract negotiations have not yet begun and the issues do not have as serious impact as the tuition waiver of the 1987-89 contract. "It will take a while to realize what is at stake," Byrnes said. GEO Steering Committee members encourage graduate students to again sup- port the GEO in these talks. All of the approximately 1800 teaching assistants on campus would be affected by the new con- tract. After a brief speech from steering committee members, the ralliers marched from the Diag to the Fleming Building, td show the administration that they want to begin bargaining immediately.

Act now!" yes- terday outside the Michigan Union before demanding more, and better publicized AIDS research at the University's Board of Regents public comments session. Members of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Organizing Committee, which planned the protest, presented eight demands to the regents, Correction An error occurred in yesterday's Perspectives column ("Israel and the world of doublespeak"). The con- cluding sentence should 'have read, "And likewise, the trend to be cautious of, one quite visible in 1982 and 1983, is the charge of anti- Semitism used in proportion to the violence Israel inflicts daily on the Palestinian population- in the Occu- pied Territories and inside Israel it- self." r~~ _CIEW including full disclosure of Univer- sity AIDS research, more AIDS re- search funding, and construction of an AIDS treatment center. "It is now 1989, and not one ad- ministrator has issued a statement about the role of the University in understanding the AIDS virus," said LaGROC member Judy Levy. The protest came several months after LaGROC members asked four University officials for information on AIDS research at the University, and were told they would receive the information by the end of the fall semester, said LaGROC member Paul Lefrak. "We know they're doing a little bit of research...," Lefrak said, "we're just not clear on how much... We believe the University has the organizational capacity to coordinate a response," he said. University officials were divided on what action was taken on the re- quest. Division of Research Devel- opment and Administration Director Alan Steiss said he sent a list of ex- ternally funded AIDS research pro- jects to the University administra- tion sometime between November and December. He was unsure, though, if the re- port went to Acting Affirmative Ac- tion Office Director Mary Ann Swain, who he later thought was in charge of collecting all of the infor- mation. Swain said she neverreceived a report and had the impression that to compile a comprehensive list of all AIDS projects would take a long time, and she had had no reason to require such a report. LaGROC members said they sent requests for the information to both Swain and Steiss. University AIDS research is be- ing conducted at the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. "We're certainly not insensitive to the problem of AIDS...," said Dr. Joseph Glorioso, medical school as- sistant dean for research.
