Israel has always sought such multilateral talks as a forum to start meshing itself with the Arab world by sharing water resources, expertise and environmental mea- sures. Arab participants used the occa- sion to stress demands that Israel surrender captured territory. Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy said he was delighted by the mere fact that most of the Arabs came. "This participation is unprece- dented and we'll know how to ap- preciate it," he said. "The term 'peace,' bitherto vague, was stated clearly." The Palestinians defied the terms laid down by the meeting's co-spon- sors, Russia and the United States, and brought a delegation stacked with members unacceptable to Is- rael. Only three of the Palestinian delegates live in the occupied terri- tories and thus meet Israel's terms.

Bethany Robertson/DAILY GRAPHIC President promises to slow arms output WASHINGTON (AP) - An- nouncing changes in America's mil- itary structure, President Bush said he will shut down the production line for the B-2 bomber after 20 planes are built, cancel the small ICBM program, halt production of new warheads for sea-based ballis- tic missiles and stop new produc- tion of the MX missile. In addition, he announced a freeze on purchases of advanced cruise missiles. "These are actions we are taking on our own - because they are the right thing to do," the president said. A White House statement re- leased with Bush's speech said the United States will halt production of W-88 warheads for Trident mis- siles. That would mark the first time since 1945 that the United States has no nuclear weapons in production. Bush's proposal for deeper cuts in nuclear arms would, for the first time, simultaneously shrink all three legs of the nation's "triad" of strategic nuclear weapons: air- launched missiles and ballistic missiles on submarines and in un- derground silos. It would be the first time the United States has cut sea-based strategic nuclear arms. By asking Yeltsin to agree to eliminate all land-based ballistic missiles with multiple warheads, Bush took aim at the most potent part of Yeltsin's arsenal: 154 SS- 18 silo-based missiles and 92 SS-24 mobile missiles in Russia, Kaza- khstan and Ukraine. Bush will meet with Yeltsin following a U.N. Security Council meeting in New York on Friday. See ADDRESS, Page 2 Bush Source: The Associated Press Students give speech mixed reviews I by Barry Cohen Daily Government Reporter Student reaction to President Bush's State of the Union address varied from commendation to sur- face-level acceptance to condemnation. "A couple of times he addressed real issues and the real divisiveness. He did not shovel out the shit," said LSA junior Doug Schwahn. "He played on the middle class worker who has been damaged," said RC senior Loren Shevitz. "He had good things to say - what he wanted to do, but not how to do it.' The consensus was that while the speech will not necessarily help Bush's popularity, it definitely will not hurt it. But one student, who did not want to be identified, criticized Bush for ignoring environmental issues. "He's been in trouble for not addressing them during his term," she added. "He continues to express ideas as if he is outside the government. He says these are the problems and then sets himself apart, as if he is not elected and responsible," said RC junior Matt McDermott. He added that Bush used the same technique as President Reagan, namely pulling the public's the question of who will help it and if the positive effects will run deep enough to poor people and bring more equality towards the 'He continues to express ideas as if he is outside the government.' - Matt McDermott RCjunior College Republicans, applauded the president's performance. "I thought that it was the best speech he ever gave, and I was on the floor in New Orleans when he gave his acceptance speech," Slavin said. Slavin specifically cited his ap- proval of Bush's proposed capital gains tax and his tax relief incen- tives for research and development. But Dana Miller, president of College Democrats, said, "I think that the capital gains tax is not a solution to the middle class and is not a solution to reviving the economy. It is a farce to say it is." heartstrings and not taking the blame for his mistakes. While Bush made proposals to revive the economy, LSA junior Jeff Traurig said, "There is still classes." He added that Bush's surface-level proposals to lower taxes and boost education will increase his popuhrity. Jim Slavin, vice president of 1. Feds track E.

Some parents of East Quad residents were upset to find drug use apparent in the dormitory during a visit, Resident Fellows said. The parents reported this drug use to the Housing Division and University President James Duderstadt. RFs were told Monday night that * Duderstadt was the first to contact the DEA about the possibility of drug use in East Quad. "We've been targeted by the DEA for surveillance," said one East Quad RF, who asked not to be named. Although the RF said that the East Quad staff was told other residence halls they hadn't heard of the DEA investiga- tion. The RFs said they were told all rooms could be subjected to search procedures. "The agents can come in whenever they want and search a room. The resident doesn't even need to be there," said another East Quadrangle RF who wished to remain anonymous. East Quad Building Director Deba Patnik, when reached late yesterday after- noon, declined to comment on the entire situation until today. Other administra- tion officials, including Housing Director Robert Hughes, did not return phone calls. Because the University is a public insti- tution, housing is considered government property. Some RFs are claiming that this allows rooms to be searched, even without a warrant. this type of intrusion. According to Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Michael Zsenyuk, it is not illegal to pos- sess drug paraphernalia. "There is no ordi- nance in Ann Arbor against a marijuana pipe, for example. There isn't a federal one either that I'm aware of," he said. However, such items, especially when there are traces of a drug present, can be used as evidence against an individual, Zsenyuk added. East Quad residents said in a hall meet- ing last night that they are upset about the agents. "It's a disgusting breach of my trust in the University. Whether I use drugs or not my rights are being violated," complained Daniel Wineman, a Residential College first-year student who said he was told of the agents' activities by a staff member.

Jud needs Spartan effort vs. Michigan by Jeni Durst Daily Basketball Writer For weeks, Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote has been sizing up tonight's competition. And he hasn't liked what he's seen. When Michigan (3-3 in the Big Ten, 11-4 overall) and the Spartans (3-2, 13-2) face off tonight at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, they won't be meeting eye to eye. "The matchups are going to be difficult for us in terms of size," Heathcote said. "We think their in- side size is a problem for us. Where we have 6'6", 6'7" inside players, theirs are 6'9". Yet, I have to think that maybe our experience, our ma- turity will give us an advantage over their youth and talent. I hope I'm right." The largest mismatch will occur at the guard position. At 6'8" and * 186 pounds, Michigan's Jalen Rose towers above any of the Spartan I MSA unanimously opposes interim speech, conduct code by Jennifer Silverberg Daily MSA Reporter Following more than an hour of discussion, the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) unanimously voted last night to ask the Univer- sity to abandon its Interim Speech Code. The assembly then voted to put a referendum for the "Preservation of Students' Freedom of Speech" on the next MSA ballot, which will ask students to adopt a similar stance. The assembly's resolution also endorsed a pending state legislature bill prohibiting state colleges and universities from enacting speech codes. Michigan Rep. Stephen Dresch (R-Hancock) came to last night's meeting to address the assembly about the House Bill 5059 - "The Michigan Collegiate Speech Protec- tion Act." "I came tonight to Ann Arbor and to this meeting because I see the responsibility falling on students - the responsibility to protect the fundamental freedoms in this insti- tuion," Dresch said. The University has enacted a pol- icy on Discrimination and Discrimi- natory Harassment twice. The first policy was struck down as unconsti- tutional in 1989. The University then issued its present Interim Pol- icy on Discrimination and Discrimi- natory Harassment. "Ultimately, for better or worse, you have the responsibility to defend freedom of speech," Dresch said. "You shouldn't have the responsibility of defending the University but don't think you can depend on the administration to do that for you. The Student Rights Commission (SRC) presented a 42-page inves- tigative report to the assembly that "concludes that the University of Michigan should elimate its In- terim Policy on Discrimination and Discriminatory Harassment and should not enact any code that simi- larly curtails freedom of speech," according to an SRC flier. "It's about time that someone really defended free speech on this campus," LSA Rep.~Corey Hill said. "I'm glad SRC is finally getting credit that's long overdue." The SRC's resolution has already been endorsed by 11 members of the Michigan House of Representatives.
