Page 2-Friday, July 17, 1981-The Michigan Daily Reagan determined to nip nuclear weaponry WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan yesterday declared his deter- mination to nip the spread of nuclear weaponry around the world, especially in view of "ominous events in the Mid- dIe East." Reagan, who repeatedly was accused last year by President Carter as caring too little about nuclear proliferation, said the task stands as a "fundamental national security and foreign policy ob- jective" of his administration. MOREOVER, HE said, "The urgen- cy of this task has been highlighted by the ominous events in the Middle East," an obvious reference to Israel's bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor on June 7. . Any further spread of atomic weaponry, he said, "would pose a severe threat to international peace, regional and global stability, and the security interests of the United States and other countries." Saudi Arabia said yesterday it will finance rebuilding of Iraq's reactor. Pakistan and several other nations are believed developing a nuclear weapons capability. AGAINST THAT background, Reagan announced a nuclear non- proliferation policy that calls for strict adherence to nuclear safeguards and treaties by all nations. He promised U.S. assistance for the "legitimate security concerns" of friendly nations so they won't need nuclear weapons to protect themselves. Such an approach is already being tried with Pakistan. Reagan also declared the United States must re-establish itself "as a predictable and reliable partner for peaceful nuclear cooperation under adequate safeguards," saying other countries have "lost confidence in the ability of our nation to recognize" their legitimate nuclear needs. "IF WE ARE not such a partner, other countries will tend to go their own ways and our influence will diminish," Reagan said in the statement announ- cing his policy. However, he said, "In the final analysis, the success of our efforts depends on our ability to improve regional and global stability and reduce those motivations that can drive coun- tries toward nuclear explosives." On Capitol Hill, Sen. Alan Cranston of California, No. 2 ranking Senate Democrat, reacted to Reagan's policy statement by saying he is "somewhat encouraged that the administration has moderated its rhetoric on non- proliferation. The broad generalities and platitudes. . . do suggesta greater concern about combatting nuclear proliferation. Today The cube won't move A SERIOUS BLOW has been dealt to the University's prestige by the malfunction of the famed cube which decorates Regents' Plaza. Coun- tless participants in this summer's freshmen orientation have suffered the grave disappointment of rushing up to the campus landmark, giving ita hef- ty shove, and realizing the object no longer spins. The Cube has been ren- dered immobile, according to University sources, as the result of a broken spring which allowed the enormous object to rotate when pushed.

The Michigan Department of Public Health uses the opinion of the Executive Committee to either reject the request for a higher spending limit or amend the Certificate of Need to in- clude the increased budget hospital planners requested, said Bremer. "Hopefully, they will approve it," she added. PORTIONS OF the planned hospital project had been excluded by the limit imposed by the Certificate of Need. They include an ambulatory care cen- ter and renovations to the Women's Hospital, the Mott Children's Hospital, and the Children's Psychiatric Hospital, Bremer said. More than a decade of consideration and five years of planning have gone in- to the proposed replacement for the Old Main Hospital, built in 1923 and now considered obsolete. Work on the replacement hospital was slated to begin Oct. 1, and Chief Financial Of- ficer James Brinkerhoff reiterated yesterday that the starting date will remain the same.
