*I Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Friday, March 23, 1990 E. Quad Women's Weekend begins by Diane Cook Daily Women's Issues Reporter "I feel like I'm in a strange time warp," Nancy Hawley, founding member of the Boston Women's Health Book Collective, told an au- dience of about 150 people in the East Quad/Residential College Audi- torium yesterday. Hawley was the keynote speaker of the 23rd Annual Women's Week- end at East Quad, a four-day series of workshops and lectures focilsing on health issues which started last night. A practicing psychotherapist, Hawley said she was amazed by the conversations she heard while dining at Lester cooperative house. "Igcould never remember us talking together as women," she said. "To see how things changed and there's a woman's consciousness here on campus now is wonderful." Hawley lived at the cooperative house in the mid 60s when she was a student here at the University. Hawley also spoke about the re- cent changes in Eastern Europe, say- ing they are exciting to her because they "open up the possibility of more democracy" and the "expansion of choices" for people worldwide. The freeing of Mandela was espe- cially powerful, Hawley added. "What it brought home to me was the lack of political and spiritual leaders in this country and the world," she said. "He is one of those people for me." Hawley then closed the gap be- tween herself and the audience by sit- ting on the edge of the stage. She took the audience on a guided medi- tation through a forest and into a comfortable home, where everyone visualized a world of women's health. After the visual exercise, Hawley opened the discussion to the audience so people could describe their experiences during the "journey." WhenHawley returned to the mi- crophone, she told the history of her book titled "The New Our Bodies, Our Selves." She said the book evolved from meetings over coffee with friends who had an interest in women's issues. The book was re- searched by small groups, each of which studied certain aspects of women's health issues. The groups presented the infor- mation to each other and eventually created an underground book, which sold about 100,000 copies. The 1974 commercially published book, "Our Bodies Our Selves," was up- dated in 1984 and renamed "The New Our Bodies, Ourselves." Hawley added tat though she was more concerned with politics in the past, she is now looking into spiritual aspects of her life. She ended her speech by reading selec- tions by feminist spiritualists. Nancy Hawley, publisher of The New Our Bodies, Our Selves, delivered the keynote address of the 23rd Annual Women's Weekend last night at East Quad.

If privatized, resi- dents would pay for recycling on an individual basis. Isaac-Jacobein Campbell (R-First Ward), Valerie Ackerman (D/G-Sec- ond Ward) and Thais Perterson(D- Fifth Ward), all hoping to unseat current councilmembers, criticized incumbents for being out of touch with voters and pledged to maintain closer contact with constituents if elected. Incumbents, on the other hand, stressed a proven record of involve- ment on the council. Councilmem- ber Thomas Richardson(R-Fifth Ward) said he has the experience to take on the "hard" issues while Councilmember Larry Hunter (D- First Ward) said his constituents needed a major leaguer, not a minor leaguer on the council.

"(The Regents' Meet- ing) is not where we should make political decisions on campus... we are not convinced meeting on your terms, on your turf is productive... it has to be real dialogue," he said. "If you look at the issue of free speech at the University all the way back to the 19th century, it happened on the Diag," Orlowski said. Roach said the original meaning of the shanties has been diluted by the fact that "every time someone has a cause, they go get a hammer, wood and nails and put another one up. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Flight 255 trials drag on DETROIT - The trial of lawsuits stemming from from the crash of Northwest Flight 255 is nearing the end of its fifth month with no jury verdict and no damages awarded, a U.S. District Court official said yester- day. The complex trial is expected to last several more months and would take even longer if Northwest Airlines had not reached out-of-court set- tlements with families of the 156 victims, Court Executive John Mayer said. Most of the settlements with Northwest were reached in October. Opening arguments in the trial were presented Nov, 2 to a six-member jury and a judge. The main issue in the trial involves Northwest's claim that the jet was defective and the counterclaim by McDonnell Douglas, maker of the jet, that the Flight 255 crew "just didn't fly it right," Mayer said. Idaho Senate passes new restrictive abortion bill BOISE - The Idaho Senate passed and sent to the governor yesterday the most restrictive abortion law of any state, one that could become a test of the U.S. Supreme Court's commitment to legalized abortions. If signed by Democratic Gov. Cecil Andrus, the measure would take effect July 1. Andrus has declined to announce his intentions on the bill but has reiterated his long-held anti-abortion stand. The law would make abortion illegal except in cases of non-statutory rape reported within seven days, incest if the victim is younger than 18, severe fetal deformity or a threat to the mother's life or physical health. Both sides agree it would ban more than 90 percent of the 1,500 abor- tions performed in the state every year. Oil tanker captain acquitted ANCHORAGE (AP) - Joseph Hazelwood was acquitted of three ma- jor charges and convicted of one misdemeanor, negligent discharge of oil today, two days before the first anniversary of the nation's worst oil spill. created by his tanker, the Exxon Valdez. The single charge on which Hazelwocd was convicted carries a maxi- mum sentence of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, far less than the 70 years and $61,000 fine he could have faced. There were bursts of applause in the court room as Superior Court Judge Karl Johnstone read the first three verdicts of "not guilty." After only 10 and one-half hours of deliberations, the jurors absolved Hazelwood of all charges alleging that he was drunk and reckless when the tanker ran aground, spilling nearly I1 millions gallons of oil into Prince William Sound. U.S. and Soviets agree on new grain trade pact WASHINGTON (AP) - American farmers have been guaranteed a major portion of the Soviet Union's grain import market for another five years, officials announced yesterday. Agriculture Secretary Clayton Yeutter and U.S. Trade Representative Carla Mills said a tentative agreement was reached during negotiations in' Vienna. The new accord will increase the annual minimum shipments of U.S. grain to the Soviets, and guarantee approximately 50 million tons over the next five years. "We think this is a good deal, that it assures U.S. farmers of a stable market over the life of the agreement," Julius Katz, deputy U.S. trade rep- resentative, said in Vienna. Katz said details of the pact would be disclosed after it is signed at the June summit meeting between President Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. EXTRAS It's 'bottoms' up on this couple's wedding video CHICAGO - It was to be a videotape of of Robert and Christine Pet- titi's best day: the joyful tolling of wedding bells, the solemn exchange of vows, a close-up of the maid of honor. But her face, not her derriere. Newlywed Pettiti and his wife are upset over a videotape he says is a cross between Fellini and "America's Funniest Home Videos." The couple sued Fred Fox Studios Ltd., and settled Wednesday for a undisclosed sum. Pettiti has said Fred Fox Studios was lax on precautions. In fact, he said, the tape of his wedding is not to be believed. "You get the back of my bald head saying the vows," he said. Wotst of all, he said, was the tendency of the cameraman to focus on the guests' posteriors while filming the dancers. "Twenty years from now, I won't know whose rear ends those are," Pettiti moaned.
