Page 4-Thursday, August 5, 1982-The Michigan Daily Court orders reinstatement of seat belt law from AP and UPI WASHINGTON - In a major setback for the auto industry, a federal appeals court told the government yesterday to require that all new cars be equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts by the fall of 1983. The Reagan administration had decided to scrap the requirement last October on the grounds that it would not add significantly to the use of passenger restraints and would make cars more expensive. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which already had called the administration's actions unlawful, yesterday ordered that all 1984 model cars include automatic seat belts or air bags as standard equip- ment. THE THREE judges gave the Tran- sportation Department until Oct. 1 to inform the court that automakers will be able to meet the Sept. 1, 1983 deadline, or to set forth "adequate reason" why the deadline should be ex- tended. Rep. Timothy Wirth (D-Colo.), chairman of the House telecom- munications, consumer protection and finance subcommittee, called the court's action "a major victory for American motorists. "It is an equally major setback for this administration's capricious attem- pts at deregulation simply for its own sake, without regard for its impact," he said. "It is a clear message that the administration cannot flout the law." The decision came in a suit brought by insurance companies and consumer groups challenging transportation ad- ministrator Raymond Peck's decision last October to kill the passive restraint regulations by the 1983 and 1984 years.

CurriculummayC change says new dental dean In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Prince William of Wales LONDON - The newest addition to Britain's royal family, swaddled in a 19th century lace gown in his young mother's arms, was christened William Arthur Philip Louis at Buckingham Palace yesterday - his great gran- dmother's 82nd birthday. Prince William of Wales, first born of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, conducted himself with royal aplomb as the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Robert Runcie, dipped his fingers in a silver gilt font and touched ordinary tap water to the baby's forehead. "William Arthur Philip Louis," Runcie said, making the sign of the cross. "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen." The private ceremony was held in the palace's elegant gold and white music room where William's father was christened 33 years ago. With the exception of the tap water - substituting for the palace's depleted supply of water from the River Jordan - all went according to tradition. Jesse Jackson urges boycotts LOS ANGELES - Blacks must organize their buying power, including the threat of nationwide boycotts, to meet such economic goals as minority bus- iness ownership, the Rev. Jesse Jackson told the National Urban League yesterday. "The plan is for Black America to re-negotiate its relationship with cor- porate America," Jackson told the black civil rights group's annual conven- tion. "The boycott is legal, legitimate and effective." Jackson, who was greeted with enthusiastic applause, said it is more im- portant for blacks to increase their share of the private economy than to get increased federal aid programs from Washington. "The private economy is immediately vulnerable to our disciplined ap- petites," he said." "Black America does more business with corporate America than Russia, China and Japan combined." In return for black patronage, he said, major corporations should be required to employ more black lawyers and executives and invest profits to establish black-owned businesses, such as wholesalers of the company's products. Judge reopens fallout lawsuit SALT LAKE CITY - A federal judge ruled yesterday that the government concealed evidence in a 1956 lawsuit, and ordered that the case - which alleged fallout from nuclear tests killed 4,300 Utah sheep - be reopened. After the ruling by U.S. District Judge Samuel Christensen, the lawyer for the Utah ranchers who sued the federal government said he would seek $100 million in damages. "It appears by clear and convincing evidence, much of it documented, that representations made as the result of the conduct of government agents ac- ting in the course of their employment were intentionally false or decep- tive," Cristensen's written verdict said. The government "made improper but successful attempts to pressure witnesses not to testify as to their real opinions," he wrote. Christensen, who was presiding judge in the original suit, heard four days of testimony during a trial in May to determine whether the government covered up evidence that fallout from Nevada nuclear tests killed the sheep. Fertility study draws protest BOSTON - Researchers yesterday protested Yale University scientists' recommendation that women heeda controversial French fertility study and become mothers early in life, postponing careers until their 30s. The study of women undergoing artificial insemination, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine Feb. 18, showed fertility peaked between age 20 and 30, declined slightly after age 30 and reached its lowest point after age 35. Over a one-year observation period, the older women took longer to con- ceive and in some cases failed to conceive at all. In an accompanying editorial, Yale's Dr. Alan DeCherney and researcher Gertrude Berkowitz said the study may be a good reason for women to have babies while they were in their 20s and concentrate on careers afterward. But in letters to the editor in the journal yesterday researchers disagreed. "DeCherney and Berkowitz have done a substantial disservice by misin- terpreting the results of the French study published in the same issue," wrote Norman Ryder, a Princeton University sociology professor and population specialist. Holy man hijacks Indian plane NEW DELHI, India - A Sikh holy man with a fake bomb hijacked an Indian Airlines jet carrying 134 people yesterday but surrendered peacefully when the plane returned to India after Pakistan refused to allow it to land there. The hijacker, identified by police as Gurbaksh Singh, 52, had ordered the Boeing 737 to land at Lahore, Pakistan. When permission was refused the craft flew back to Amritsar, about 25 miles north of New Delhi, where he was taken into custody. He was expected to be brought to New Delhi ina day or two to face charges of kidnapping and criminal intimidation, Delhi Air- port deputy police commissioner T. R. Kakkar said. Singh, described by police as a "granthi," or reader of Sikh holy scripture, had demanded $300,000, safe passage to either Canada or the United States, and the release of various imprisoned Sikh militants. (Continued from Page 3) "WE NEED to focus not only on today's problems, but on those in the next 10 to 15 years," he said. Specific research areas that Christiansen said need attention in- clude the identification of bacteria which cause dental disease, in- vestigations of root cavities, and studies on the growth and development of teeth. Professorial research on these sub- jects will have a spill-over into classroom instruction, according to Christiansen. "I think the student will have a better appreciation for the scientific basis of dentistry and that it is a dynamic and changing field." ANOTHER way of improving dental instruction for both graduate dental students and undergraduate pre-dental students the dean is considering is opening some of the dental school's con- tinuing education courses to them. "I think the undergraduate needs to be aware of- what the typical dentist is doing ... to give him a long range per- spective on his field." He added that there will be no major changes in undergraduate dental in- struction, but graduate curriculum may be reviewed to ensure uniformity in the core courses that graduate students must take. But all the changes that may occur in the Dental School revolve around one priority, Christiansen said. "The num- ber-one concern is still educating and training the dentist to look after the oral health needs of his patients."
