" Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Thursday, January 23, 1992 Nuclear shipment to Libya seized BONN, Germany (AP) - A plane bound for Libya carrying American-made laser equipment for building rockets was seized last month at Frankfurt airport mo- ments before takeoff, German offi- cials said yesterday. Chief government spokesperson Dieter Vogel said the cargo con- tained "dual use parts which could be used for nuclear technology." Dual use refers to technology that has been designed for civilian use but can also be used in arms production. A German official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the cargo, mostly laser equipment used in building rockets, was addressed to a Libyan organization known to be working on the country's rocket program. In Washington, State Depart- ment press officer Joseph Snyder said the administration was aware of the transaction and has been in touch with the German government. The cargo seizure came to light during the German government's regular news briefing yesterday. Vogel was briefing reporters on a new regulation in German export law that the Cabinet had approved earlier in the day. Vogel said the shipment would be returned to the United States, but neither he nor the government source could say whether that had occurred yet. ., :.;, M ,..

"I don't care what they do - it's not going to stop me," said Katie Sjogren, an Ann Arbor resident who marched in support of the pro-life movement. However, pro-choicers said their presence at the march was valid and necessary. "We have to show people there are students against the pro-life movement and that a woman's right to an abortion should be free and on demand," said LSA sophomore Rebecca Wirtel. The overriding theme from pro-life factions last night was that abortion is murder, not simply the termination of a pregnancy. RALLY Continued from page 1 right-to-life movement racist and sexist. "Roe v. Wade was linked to both the civil rights and women's movements," Randels said. Some Students for Life members said they felt AACDARR was hypocritical in taking over the rally. "We aren't preventing them from speak- ing and respecting their rights. It seems un- equal when they are standing there talking about rights," said Carmelita Reyes, a Students for Life member. AACDARR Co-chair Rhonda Laur denied that her group was out of line by counter- demonstrating and said they had a permit to be on the Diag.

But the woman in- terviewed said her two friends were also "attacked" after trying to assist her. However, the Sigma Chi state- ment said, "There were no punches, kicks, or hair-pulling exchanged ..." The Ann Arbor Police Department was called by a security officer when the women finally re- turned to a dorm, and arrived at the fraternity approximately an hour later. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is investigating the incident to de- termine if any members of Sigma Chi are at fault or if the new alcohol policy, implemented Jan. 1, was vio- lated. "At the present, we're trying to gather information and find out what happened," said Joe Foster, the IFC advisor in charge of the investiga- tion. Bruce Namerow, president of IFC, said, "We're very concerned and we're looking into it. Our hope is that we can learn from whatever happened and educate people about it." Foster said although IFC wants to provide assistance to the police, they have to be careful not to interfere with any ongoing investigations. According to Lt. Richard Cygan of the Ann Arbor Police, the report on the incident has not been logged in the computer and was unavailable last night. The woman interviewed said she was told by police on Tuesday that "absolutely nothing" was being done and it was a case of "mutual com- batants." The Sigma Chi statement said counter-charges have been filed against the woman who punched the fraternity member. Italics denote representatives who missed both roll calls. SPEECH Continued from page 1 is just wrong, immoral, disgusting, and outrageous." Alaina Campbell, legislative di- rector for the Michigan Collegiate Coalition, explained a dynamic rela- tionship between tuition rates for higher education and state funding. If state funding for higher education drops, administrations across the state will have no choice but to raise tuition to compensate, she said. State Rep. Pat Gagliardi. (D- Drummond Island) said Engler has proposed his Savings Bonds program to replace MET, a college invest- ment program developed when Blanchard was governor, for two reasons. "The Governor does not want a DAILY ARTS SEZ: Support Campus Cinema program with Blanchard's or the Democrat's fingerprints on it, and he has failed to take on the universi- ties to keep tuitions down," said Gagliardi. The bonds program allows par- ents to invest in zero coupon bonds to provide money for their chil- dren's college education. Rather than paying intermediate interest payments, zero-coupon bonds pay a flat sum of money upon maturity to investors. He said that studies by the Coopers and Librand accounting firm and the Michigan General Accounting Office have shown the MET is a viable program. Gagliardi favors a combination of increasing MET investors and implementing state-wide salary caps to make col- lege tuitions more affordable. John Truscott, press secretary for John Engler, said that the House Jennifer Silverberg/DAiLY GRAPHIC I of Representatives' criticism of Engler's proposals has shown that its members do not plan on accom- plishing productive work in 1992. "I hope that the House puts par- tisanship aside and passes positive legislation," Truscott said. He said Engler's Savings Bonds proposal is a more affordable means than MET to provide parents with investment to send their children through college. GM Continued from page 1 While he recognizes GM's need to reduce spending, Steiss said the company's lack of money given in research led to the problems it is experiencing now. "Part of their problems stem from the problem that they haven't been investing. They have to do more in their long term investment pro- jects," Steiss. Cole agreed that many American companies need to invest more into the future. "If we lose the ability to manu- facture in this country, then we be- come a Peru or a Mexico - a third world country," Cole said. While GM has been more careful with its research investment, Associate Vice President for Development Joe Roberson said he has not yet seen any decrease in GM's contributions to the University. In the last capital campaign, a large University fund-raising ef- fort, GM donated $7.5 million. The University is now working with the auto company to determine its con- tribution to the current campaign. "if there's going to be any sig- nificant effects, I think it will be told in the next two or three years," Roberson said. GM's cuts are likely to have widespread effects, but Cole said its crucial that the company makes changes right now. "If GM fails to cut back, they make themselves vulnerable to a long term calamity," Cole said. "Sure it's going to affect the state, the University and the community, but what is far more important is a healthy manufacturing.ability in the long term."
