The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 6, 1989 - Page 3 I Armed men shake up Panama crowd 4 d .I PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) - Eight armed men in civilian clothes fired in the air outside the office where opposition leader Guillermo Endara was on a hunger strike yesterday, dispersing scores of supporters gathered outside. Some of the gunmen entered Endara's office and took his secretary with them, but the secretary was later released. "At 4 p.m. armed civilians came and fired in the air," Endara told journalists after the eight gunners left. "It was as if they were invisible because the police (directing traffic at a nearby corner) did nothing." The former opposition presidential candidate said he would continue his 16-day-old hunger strike as part of a campaign to oust Gen. Manuel Noriega. Noriega survived a coup attempt Tuesday, and in a televised speech yesterday he said he had evidence that the United States planned to install Endara as president after the coup. "This hunger-striking buffoon sneaks out to eat (Tuesday) so he can be well fed when he takes over the presidency. But he's screwed, Noriega said. Noriega said he was going to present his hand-picked provisional president, Francisco Rodriguez, with a package of "war laws" dealing with security because Panama is living "in a moment of emergency." Noting that U.S. troops stood by and watched as the rebellion failed, Noriega said the United States "left its agents in the lurch." He said the bungled coup was another Bay of Pigs for the United States, referring to the CIA-supported invasion of Cuba that failed in 1961. "They mistakenly believed that everyone has a price and that everyone is a traitor," he said in the speech from the provincial town of Santiago. The civilian opposition and the United States have denied any role in the coup attempt. The United States recognizes Endara as the legitimate president because of his victory in May 7 elections that were annulled by Noriega. At Endara's office, armed men fired shots in the air and hit supporters and reporters with rubber hoses to disperse the crowd. When asked if a reporter could see an officer in charge, one man replied, "No. Just get out of here." Endara was drinking only water, taking prescribed medicine and eating only the wafer of Mass, but he appeared healthy. L EXPIRES 10-13-89 --- E r .

Reproductive rights week aims to inform 9 by Laura Counts Daily Women's Issues Reporter Dr. Ethelene Crockett-Jones, who preformed an abortion for Jane Doe - a teenage rape victim who chal- lenged the Michigan law banning Medicaid funded abortions - will speak on campus next week as part of Reproductive Rights Awareness Week. The program aims to educate and. motivate people to work for women's reproductive rights at a time when the Michigan State legis- lature is hearing anti-abortion bills and the Supreme Court's docket in- cludes three cases which may restrict access to abortions. Activities will include pro-choice speakers, workshops, a march and a fundraising dance. Sponsors are the Ann Arbor Committee to Defend Abortion Rights (AACDAR), Planned Parent- hood of Ann Arbor and the Washte- naw County National Organization for Women, working together as the Ann Arbor Pro-Choice Coalition. "It is very important for women to know as much as possible about the subject, and understand the ethi- cal issues involved," said LSA ju- nior Anna Stubblefield, a member of AACDAR. "A lot of people are pro-choice and don't really know it. We want to educate people and bring out the is- sues, and give people a little ammu-; nition for their arguments," she said. Panel topics are as diverse as philosophical and religious influ- ences on abortion to how racism af- fects reproductive rights and women of color. Crockett-Jones will be speaking on "The Politics of Medicine" this Wednesday in the Michigan Union Ballroom. Workshops will focus on the his- tory of abortion rights, birth control and abortion technology, teenagers and abortion, and strategies for pro- choice activists. The week will end with a "March for Choice" on Saturday, during which women who have had positive abortion experiences will speak out. A Saturday night dance will feature a D.J. and refreshments. The series of events was dubbed "Reproductive Rights Awareness Week" because it addresses issues other than abortion, such as birth control, said Anne Herlick, a Resi- dential College senior and AACDAR member.
