The Michigan Daily-Saturday, June 12, 1982-Page 3 500,000 EXPECTED TO ATTEND N.Y.C. readies for anti-nuke rally NEW YORK (AP)- Crews set up a stage in Central Park and transit officials remapped bus routes and laid on extra subway cars yesterday as the city gir- ded for an expected onslaught of 500,000 people at a nuclear disarmament rally. If attendance estimates for today's march and rally hold up, it would be one of the biggest protests in the nation's history and the largest ever held here. ACTIVITIES WILL begin with a march past the United Nations and north to Central Park. Organizers said at least 150,000 people, led by 10,000 to 30,000 children, would take part. On Central Park's Great Lawn, police estimated as many as 500,000 people would gather to hear dozens of speeches, along with performances by Linda Ron- stadt, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and Chaka Kahn. Sunny, fair weather was forecast. All of this amounts to a _traffic nightmare, and police warned that Manhattan would be impassable to vehicles for much of the day. OFFICIALS AT the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the city's airports and bus terminals, said yesterday they had seen no noticeable influx of people. But 2,000 buses were expected to arrive by this morning, parking in lots in the outer boroughs and New Jersey. Three hundred volunteers were assigned to usher them onto public transportation bound for the United Nations. The rally is the biggest in a series of events held to mark the United Nations special session on disar- mament, which began Monday. YESTERDAY, more than 8,000 people filled the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the world's largest cathedral, for an international religious convocation. It was an elaborate religious service involving "literally every faith from all over the planet Earth," said Bishop Paul Moore of the Episcopal diocese of New York. Participants ranged from Metropolitan Filaret of the Russian Orthodox Church to Grand Father David Monogye, a Hopi spiritual elder. Islamic, Buddhist, Christian and Jewish leaders also took part. DR. AVERY Post, president of the United Church of Christ, said, "We come to worship, to cry out to God for life and peace. We come to be a represen- tative voice of all the children on earth." Although Police Commissioner Robert McGuire said he did not expect disorderly conduct at today's demonstration, 5,000 police-the largest force ever assembled for a single event here-were assigned to the march and rally. A total of 4,000 volunteers were enlisted for the protest, which was organized by a coalition of groups such as the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and scores of smaller groups. The biggest recent gathering in New York was on the Great Lawn last fall, when an estimated 400,000 people came to hear a Simon and Garfunkel reunion concert.

Pla y*g finish es campus manhunt Officials at WSU extend negotiation deadline By LOU FINTOR Wayne State University officials yes- terday extended the deadline for faculty wage concession negotiations, giving negotiators more time to reach an agreeent which would prevent the layoff of tenured faculty. WSU administrators stated this week that they would request a declaration of financial emergency from the board of governors and begin laying off tenured professors if an agreement was not reached with the American Association of University Professors - the WSU faculty's union. ADMINISTRATORS originally set 8 a.m. yesterday as the deadline for an agreement, but extended the deadline until Tuesday after an all-night bargaining session failed to produce an agreement. Administrators said they needed more time to study the impact of declaring "financial exigency. With such a declaration, layoffs of tenured faculty can begin. If the administration asked the board of governors for a declaration of finan- cial exigency, they are expected to ap- prove it. "I would say that enough board members would approve it, but I don't think it would be unanimous," said Murray Jackson, a member of the Wayne State University Board of Governors and a University professor. According to Wayne State's AAUP President Norman Kopmeyer, the threat of 'financial exigency" has not changed the bargaining position of the union, but has hurt negotiations. "It's a threat which can only impede bargaining," Kopmeyer said. "I think if that deadline had not been there we could have reached agreeement in a couple of days," he added. "We are saying we will give up $2 See WAYNE, Page11 By FANNIE WEINSTEIN Some University males escaped un- scathed, but others lost more than their shirts by the time Playgirl left campus yesterday. Representatives from the magazine came to Ann Arbor this week seeking both clothed and not so clothed models for its October and November issues, to be titled "Playgirl Comes to the Big Ten." THE THREE-woman judging com- mittee, consisting of Playgirl Talent Coordinator Linda Horwitz, her assistant, and Playgirl's photo editor, conducted interviews at Ohio State University last week and currently is looking for models at the University of Wisconsin. Although roughly 200 males auditioned at OSU, less than half that amount turned out for Monday's tryouts at Campus Inn. Horwitz at- tributed the difference in turnout, however, to the fact that OSU was still in regular session. "We had as successful a turnout as at OSU, even though we had fewer people show up," she said. "U of M produced a different kind of guy. Just as good, but different." "ALL THE guys we interviewed were good-looking, really expressive of their lifestyle," Horwitz said of the Univer- sity's men. "We were looking for prep- py types, also a wide variety of looks." "There was nothing special about it at all . . . It was very natural," said Mark Gibney, a political science graduate student selected to appear in the magazine. Gibney, who posed clothed at the Law Quad and nude at home, said most of his friends didn't mind his Playgirl ex- posure, although his girlfriend did become upset. "THIS HAS seemingly provoked a lot more reaction than I would have thought. It's been the reaction of people I know that's caused problems," he said. "I believe I would do it again," Gib- ney said. "I didn't think of it asa means of exploitation or any type of por- nography or any type of comment on my personality." Those who weren't selected by Playgirl seemed to take it in stride. "ACTUALLY, I wasn't going to ac- cept it even if I got it," said Andy Huf- fman, a graduate engineering student. "I wasn't inspired to go down and take my clothes off." Ironically, Huffman's friend, who gave him $15 to attend the interview and then filled out an application him- self just for fun, was chosen. His friend refused the chance to pose, however, Huffman said. Playgirl's man hunt drew little protest. SeePLAYGIRL, Page 10
