The Michigan Daily- Thursday, January 9, 1992 -Page3 Soviet scientists solicited by Libya MOSCOW (AP) - A Russian scientist said yesterday that Libya has offered high-paying jobs to his * colleagues at Moscow's top nuclear institute, providing new evidence the Soviet Union's collapse could spread nuclear technology. Western leaders have expressed mounting concern that the political breakup of the Soviet Union and its crumbling economy could lead to, the transfer of nuclear weapons - or scientists capable of building them. Vyacheslav Rozanov, deputy chief of the thermonuclear depart- ment at Moscow's Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, said that Libya had offered jobs to at least two of his co-workers. Both scientists turned down the jobs and the tempting $2,000-a- month salaries - very high by Russian standards, Rozanov said. The demise of the Soviet Union has raised fears worldwide that its technology could be bought by the highest bidder, including countries that are trying to develop nuclear weapons. Rozanov said the Kurchatov Institute, which carries out civilian and military research, is trying to discourage its scientists from emigrating or working abroad. He said his two c6-workers were approached twice by Libya. A private Libyan citizen origi- nally made the offer at an energy conference in Moscow, inviting the Russians to work at the Trajura nu- clear research center, said Rozanov. The scientists rejected the offer. Rozanov said the Libyan propos- als were to work on peaceful uses of nuclear energy only. But he ac- knowledged that the two experts' abilities could easily be applied to nuclear weapons as well. He said several dozen experts from the institute already have taken jobs in the United States, Japan and other countries. Rogozhin said there are probably "5,000 teams of scientists in Moscow alone who are capable of producing nuclear weapons." After audit, 'U' pays own way to Rose Bowl .'

Minor changes in Union policy start this weekend by Melissa Peerless Daily Administration Reporter After disagreeing with the gov- ernment over the use of federal re- search funds to pay for trips to the Rose Bowl in 1990, the University carefully chose who would go to the game this year. Executive Director of Univer- sity Relations Walter Harrison said that when the Wolverines play in the Rose Bowl, the profits from the game are divided equally among the Big Ten universities and the confer- ence itself. "Under this system, in terms of profit, the University of Michigan doesn't make any more money than Northwestern University. What we do get is that the Rose Bowl pays to send the team, the marching band, the cheerleaders, and the Univer- sity's official party to Pasadena," he said. The University's official party includes the University Board of Regents, executive administrative officers, and members of the University Board of Control for Intercollegiate Athletics. But two years ago, the Univer- sity sent extra people to the Rose Bowl to oversee University-related events planned for the days preced- ing the game. The University included these trips in their requests for federal indirect cost reimbursement. Last year's federal audit found that this was inappropriate. "This year, because of the indi- rect costs, we tried to keep the extra people to a minimum. Only very few extra people came, and they paid for their trips with their own bud- gets," Harrison said. He added that while in Califor nia, the regents and administrators " do much more than watch football and relax in the sun. "There are a whole series of' fundraising and alumni activities. There are receptions and a dinner oW" New Year's Eve. These are all op- , portunities for the alumni to meet. with the President," he said. And although the official party' met with many potential donors' Harrison said no one came back t6" Ann Arbor with a pocket full of checks. "It's just a way for us to make contact with graduates. If we have an alum who lives in Southern Cali-- fornia and never comes back here, we can get in touch with him while are out there. We do notwask foe, money at the Rose Bowl," he said.ra In last year's audit the federal-, government also questioned the use of indirect cost recovery funds for the University advertisement which is aired during televised football games. "The ads were in a pool of ex- penses which was partially being charged to the government," Harri- son said. The commercials were included because the University views them as a way to generate funding for re- search. However, Harrison said the pro-:f duction costs for these publicity spots were avoided completely this year. "We did not make a new one this year, but that had more to do with cost-cutting than anything else," he- said. by Purvi Shah Daily Administration Reporter Starting this weekend, Univer- sity students will be allowed to bring two guests instead of one into the Union. The change is one of several modifications to the Union access policy that was implemented last term. In addition to increasing the number of permissible guests, phys- ical arrangements at one of the barriers will be adjusted to make it more like the ID checkpoints in the CCRB and IM building. Director of the Union Frank Cianciola said the rearrangements are designed to make the entrance "more inviting." Director of Public Safety Leo Heatley said the policy's security measures that were established in September will still be in place this weekend. A meeting will be held tomorrow to discuss further changes to be phased in gradually. While students will still need to show identification to enter the Union between 9 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, additional modifications may include: providing for paid student monitors who will sit with security officers at all Union entrances; * reducing the number of secu- rity offers to one or two at each en- trance, and; changing security officers' uniforms from full dress to coat and slacks apparel. Administrators and student leaders worked together to develop a more attractive Union policy. Michigan Student Assembly President James Green, who is in- volved in the modification process, said the changes are designed to maintain Union security while re- taining student comfort. Green said students had indicated that while security without the Union policy had been inadequate, the original policy had been "somewhat of an intrusive process" that left students feeling queasy. . "I talked to very few people who did not say they had security concerns ... The objective is to main- tain legitimate security concerns and also to make the policy more user-friendly," Green said. Cianciola remarked that the orig- inal policy had been a test and that the new policy would benefit stu- dents because it had been reshaped based on student feedback. "Both in terms of perception and reality, this will help address the concerns that were raised," he said. Interim Vice President of Student Services Mary Ann Swain agreed. "Since students were actively involved in designing it, I hope that it will take care of the concerns involved," she said. Green added that after the new policy is instituted, it should be ap- praised in order to see if the modifi- cations have fulfilled the intended purpose. Model apologizes after taking newspapers Renee Huckle Daily Staff Reporter Approximately 700 issues of Ten Percent, a local gay newspaper, were removed from campus distri- bution sites Dec. 12. LSA junior Jeff Grossman, a model who appears in the "Men of the University of Michigan" calen- dar, took copies of the Dec. 11 edi- tion which contained an advertise- ment for the calendar, publisher Steve Culver said. "(Grossman) saw his picture, and a little naive, thought it could do him some harm," Culver said. Grossman later called Culver to apologize for taking the issues and promised to return them. "I was very satisfied he called," Culver said, adding that he told Grossman not to worry about the incident being blown out of propor- tion.

Bill Thibodeau, producer and di- rector of the calendar, said that Grossman misinterpreted Ten Per- cent, the staff and its contents. "Jeff is a fine young man and student. He overreacted. He found himself on the back of a progressive publication," Thibodeau said. "It's a very tasteful calendar. I think its important that everyone knows its not a sleazy calendar." After the incident, Culver said he holds no hard feelings against Grossman. "I think he learned a little bit. It's a gay paper and the underlying thing is that he is homophobic. If he looks foolish then he looks foolish. I was real angry in the beginning, but it's over and done with. I accept his apology," Culver said.

(AP) - A Michigan State University profes- sor collapsed yesterday as he was sentenced to four- to 15 years in prison in a sex crime case that in- volved "hush money" payments to the victim's parents. Derek Lamport sank to the floor after hearing Ingham County Cir- cuit Judge Michael Harrison read the sentence. He was helped to his feet and led away to jail. Harrison also ordered Lamport to pay $1,000 in court costs. The sentence was harsher than recom- mended in a sentencing report that had called for five years probation with the first 52 weekends to be sex scandal served in jail and the second year on an electronic tether. Lamport had pleaded no contest to two charges of second-degree criminal sexual conduct for contact with an 1l-year-old girl, touching her genitals. Police said Lamport, a plant physiology researcher, lured the vic- tim and her brother into his home and assaulted the girl. The children lived near Lamport's home in Mason. The children's parents pleaded guilty to taking money from Lam- port to keep quiet, and were ordered to pay $5,000 in fines. -hPresents The Fourth Minority Career Conference Explore career opportunities with over 80 major employers and graduate schools Tuesday, January 21 Open Session 7:00 pm -10:00 pm Informal discussions with employers and graduate school representatives Arrange Interviews with recruiters for Wednesday, January 22 Pre-Conference Workshops Information and tips on making the most of your conference experience 3a_- "' Featuring Local Jazz Musicians in Live Performances 6-8 pm Thur, Jan 9th Thur, Jan 16th ThurJan 23rd I1 I TLEg 1 lair Thursday Tuesday Sat urday January 9 January 14 January 18 CP&P Michigan Union Michigan Union 530-6:50pm 530-650 pm 10:1l0-11:30om L j
