Page 2- The Michigan Daily-Friday, November 3, 1989 Belgian activist urges further disarmament .IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports MMMMR -1 i I by Mark Katz Daily Staff Writer With the recent Intermediate Nu- clear Forces treaty and plans for mil- itary reduction by Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev, "people think they have already won the battle against disarmament, but it's not true," Denise Peeters, a Belgian fem- imfist and peace activist, said last night. Peeters, a member of the Chris- 'an peace group Pax Christi and the National Council of the Belgium Women, offered a European perspec- tive on the situation "beyond the Cold War" to 40 people at the Rack- ham Amphitheater. "Peeters came to Ann Arbor as part of Eurotour '89, which has FINANCE ,ontinued from Page 1 -what they called a lack of student rpresentation in the financial aid process; ebureaucracy faced by students at 'the financial aid office; -disproportionate levels of need- based versus merit-based aid; -a high proportion of work-study ohd loan programs to aid grants, and; -a lack of "clear, factual informa- tion" regarding aid presented to stu- dents. Holmes said he appreciated the 6pportunity to communicate directly with financial aid recipients. brought a group of European ac- tivists, parliament members, and re- searchers to visit with American grassroots activists in an effort to mobilize the disarmament move- ment. The tour was sponsored by the British American Security Inforra- tion Council. While the two superpowers have agreed to withdraw missiles from some European countries, the speaker said, the continent still faces a strong nuclear presence. "(The Europeans) are very much concerned about the way the Ameri- can military authorities are talking about the modernization of their ar- mament (in Belgium and other Eu- ropean countries)," she said. The program, sponsored by the Campus Women's Action for Nu- clear Disarmament (WAND), high- lighted the role of women in the movement. "I believe in the action of women in (the peace movement)," Peeters said. "Peace in a patriarchal society is something very hard to obtain." The ensuing discussion empha- sized the varying perspectives and backgrounds involved in the disar- mament movement. "We heard a lot of people from different countries tonight, which got debate going about the difference between the movements in Europe and here in the United States," said Residential College senior Sarah Cooley, a co- coordinator of WAND who helped organize the program.

Sandinistas resume fighting MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Sandinista troops launched attacks in Nicaragua's central and northern mountains yesterday to try and wipe out outnumbered Contra forces that have infiltrated from Honduras, according to reports. Lt. Col. Rosa Pasos, a military spokeswoman, said most of the action was concentrated on rebels sneaking into Nicaragua, but she would con- firm only one attack near Quilali, in the border province of Nueva Segovia. "What the lifting of the cease-fire does is give us the possibility of or- ganizing offensives in a more organized manner and with greater fire- power," Pasos said. President Daniel Ortega ended a 19-month cease fire Wednesday, saying the Contras had been stepping up attacks inside Nicaragua. He also blamed the United States for the renewed attacks and accused President Bush of promoting "terrorism." Colombian judges strike BOGOTA, Colombia - Judges and court workers began a series of nationwide strikes yesterday, a day after another judge and a congressman were murdered, apparently by drug traffickers. In Medellin, where the judge was killed, federal judges walked off the job indefinitely until they receive more protection. It is the third time the judges have gone on strike in the last three months, with each walkout following the assassination of a federal judge. In the last eight years 222 workers, including 43 judges, have been killed, most of them by drug traffickers. In the latest slaying, federal Judge Mariela Espinoza was killed by submachine gun fire from two speeding cars as she arrived at her Medellin home Wednesday night with two motorcycle guards. It was not immediately known if she had handled drug trafficking cases. In Bogota federal Rep. Luis Francisco Madero was killed with a pistol shot to the head Wednesday night outside his apartment. Iranians to mark ,seizure of U.S. embassy by mass protest TEHRAN, Iran - Radicals are planning an outpouring of hatred to- morrow to mark the day the U.S. Embassy was seized in 1979, and some diplomats view the plans as a challenge to President Hashemi Rafsan- jani's more moderate faction. Radicals have whipped up anti-American passion for days, undermin- ing what had appeared to be a government attempt at moderation on the 10th anniversary of the beginning of 444 days in captivity for 52 Ameri- cans. Workers strung scores of cloth banners yesterday between the maple trees lining Taleghani, a broad avenue that runs past the embassy's main entrance. Iranian officials said demonstrators would burn 160 American flags Saturday, 10 for each of the 16 Shiites beheaded in Saudi Arabia in September for bombings in the holy city of Mecca during this year's an- nual Moslem pilgrimage. The bombs killed one man and wounded 16. German exodus continues PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia - More than 1,300 young East Germans jammed the West German Embassy yesterday to seek new lives in the West, and many scoffed at promised reforms in the Communist homeland they left behind. In East Berlin, Communist leader Egon Krenz urged closer economic ties to the West and said a new law permitting freedom of travel to the West would be announced Monday. Several top Communist officials re- signed, including the wife of ousted leader Erich Honecker. At least 8,000 East Germans swarmed into Czechoslovakia after East Germany lifted a month-old travel ban on Wednesday, the official East German news agency ADN said. It is the only country East Germans can visit freely. Most of those flooding into the embassy in Prague were in their early 20s. At least 200 to 300 children could be seen behind a fence playing peacefully on the embassy grounds. EXTRAS Couch potatoes don't have to row to live longer lives CHICAGO (AP) - Couch potatoes who dive under the sofa cushions at the thought of an hour on the rowing machine can take heart from a study that finds that even moderate exercise can prolong one's life. "You don't have to be an athlete; you don't have to do vigorous hours of exercise every week to get some obvious benefits," said Dr. Steven Blair, a co-author of the study published in Friday's Journal of the American Medical Association. Indeed those who don't exercise at all can get the greatest benefit from exercise, said Blair. And it is time for them to start - fewer than 10 percent of adult Americans exercise at levels recommended by the surgeon general, said Blair. The study by Blair and others at the Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas indicated that if all the unfit people surveyed had become fit, the death rates might have dropped by 9 percent in men and 15.3 percent in women. r } t f i t t 1 i s e 61 ra v 1 v ECONO-CAR f 0 ' 0 6 OPEN 7 DAYS - A WEEK ~w~ - Choose from small economical cars to fine luxury cars " Special weekend rates " Pick-up services upon request - We accept cash deposits Rent a car from ECONO-CAR 438 W.
