Page 14- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, May 15, 1984 Shultz defends actions in Central America DETROIT (UPI) - Secretary of State George Shultz vigorously defen- ded U.S. actions in Central America as "entirely laudable and proper" yester- day and said the involvement cannot be compared to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Shultz, in a question-and-answer session following a speech to the League of Women Voters convention, said the U.S. is striving for "democracy and the rule of law" in the region. THE SECRETARY was asked to define the difference between U.S. in- volvement and the Soviet invasion since each country has said its respective ac- tion was in the national interest. That's an entirely different category of activity than the activity of the U.S.," Shultz told the 1,600 delegates. From AP and UPI SAN FRANCISCO - James Durwood Harper, who pleaded guilty to selling key U.S. missile secrets to Communist agents, was sentenced yesterday to life in prison by a judge who called him a "traitor" and said he would recom- mend he never be paroled. The government alleged Harper, 49, sold the documents to Polish agents for between $250,000 and $1 million and that the-Poles delivered the information to Soviet KGB agents.

Shultz repeated charges the Soviets are using chemical and toxin weapons against civilians there and in southeast Asia. "THIS IS a portion of the world that is on our doorstep and where the security interests of the U.S. are very vitally af- fected," said Shultz. "As far as the U.S. is concerned, what we have supported is democracy and the rule of law as well as economic development," he said, describing U.S. involvement as "entirely laudable and proper objectives." In his speech, Shultz said patient, bipartisan unity behind the President is documents "not for philosophical reasons but for greed and money," U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti said he would recommend Harper never be given parole. HARPER PLEADED innocent in December to six charges of stealing Minuteman missile secrets and papers outlining the United States' ability to survive a nuclear attack. Last month, he changed his plea to guilty on a single count of conspiring to sell defense secrets.

Six colleges freeze fall tuition levels (Continued from Page 1) would get a 10 percent increase. However, both the House and Senate dismissed this plan and it has all but died. It did not die, however, before Ferris State decided to freeze tuition levels. Bill Taylor, a spokesperson for the school, said officials had frozen tuition because they hoped they would receive an increase in state appropriations. Taylor said the school is contemplating a tuition adjustment now that the governor's proposal has been killed. Officials at other schools said the governor's plan paid no part in their decision to freeze tuition. According to George Johston, EMU's planning director, the school began contemplating a tuition freeze last fall - before Blanchard even mentioned the freeze. While the freeze will save students' money, officials said their schools will have to delay maintenance work and not purchase new equipment. However, Robert Romkema, vice president for financial concerns at EMU said this is the price colleges must pay. "It's a matter of priorities. We also realize our students have problems (paying tuition)," Romkema said. "We're clearly not going to be able to do everything we want to do. It's certainly not going to be a fat budget." 0 § SUBSCRIPTIONS .........764-0558 §CL ASSIFIEDS . ... . ... ... . .764-0557 O p NEWS ...................764-0552 §SPORTS ... .. .. .. . .. . .. ..764-0562 DISPLAY ADVERTISING ... 764-0554 BILLING .................764-0550 9 SACUA meets with ed. school facul ty (Continued from Page 3) other areas within the University. Hilbert said that faculty would be in- terviewed by Berger and placed into positions in programs within the education school that are not being cut based on their expertise. Hilbert also said that SACUA has been working for two years on a policy on the discontinuance of faculty positions. This policy, if implemented, would "put tenured faculty somewhere in the University" in some sort of post, said Hilbert. "It is too early to tell," Hilbert said. "There may be enough retirements, enough-faculty taking jobs in the ad- ministration, and enough faculty taking positions in other universities - there is no way of knowing if any faculty are at risk in any of the schools." - am 1c49t.,/'+ CQRG .'xQ'>t 'NCO'1t 1 c0 c0' tGT t '+te ' c "+t 9clhcllx/isL,501 e/hue>l'd -I 0'>,.
