Lee Winkleman, who is leading PSN's opposition to the institute, said the cen- ter should not be considered a healthy addition to the community. He also argues that SEI does not offer such great economic potential. "There is a real trend to try and link the solution to economic problems to military development," he said. "It is insane to think that in order to help ourselves economically we have to lead toward the destruction of the world." WINKLEMAN SAID PSN's efforts to dissuade the recruitment of SEI will in- clude investigating the exact nature of its proposed research and educating the community of the institute's evils. It also is organizing with anti-military groups at Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois to form what he calls the "con- sortium against the consortium," ad- ding strength to the onnositon efforts. pC ,CZIdlyUy p mI neP oI1~6U Defense. "Dependence on military development is very unsound economically as for what it can do for our community," Schwartz said. "I am opposed to wasting our technical resources on finding clever ways to kill people." t He said that if what the country needs is automation of the computer industry with civilian applications, it should hire civilian agencies to do so. "Why should we have to work through the defense department?" Schwartz asked. BUT PSN'S and MAD's efforts may not have an impact on the eventual decision, according to Lukens. "One of the things the defense department requires for SEI is a close affiliation with a university," he said. "They probably understood what they would encounter when they made that decision." Ann Arbor Mayor Louis Belcher also questioned the chances of anti-military lnLm ub , D t I au. . aaa that if you were to put it up to a vote whether or not Ann Arbor should go af- ter the software institute, I think it would be 60 to 70 percent in favor of recruiting it." Belcher said he supports SEI not only because it will benefit the city economically, but as a matter of prin- ciple. "Ann Arbor has not seceeded from the Union yet and until we become our own government unto ourselves, we will continue to support the United States defense department," he said. Regardless of the mayor's opinion. the Department of Defense has yet to make a decision on the location of SEI. If Ann Arbor is chosen, SEI will sparka host of activity on two fronts: software research and the military' research debate. __ Tuesday: An analysis of the economic implications of Michigan 's move to high-tech. Belcher ... supports defense development Canadians name Turner prime minister (Continued from Page 1) of a recent surge in public opinion polls. After trailing the Progressive Conservatives of Brian Mulroney by more than 20 points, the Liberals suddenly jumped to a slight lead after Trudeau announced he was leaving office. If prospects for a summer election are unpromising, the government could wait until fall or - pushing the current Parliament's mandate to the five-year-limit - until next spring. All seven candidates made final appeals for votes in speeches to the convention Friday night with Trudeau wat- ching, his shirtsleeves rolled up and collar open in the steamy heat of a crowded hockey arena. TURNER, A Toronto-based corporate lawyer who sits on the boards of some of Canada's largest companies, tried Friday to combat the impression that he would move the Liberal government sharply to the right. "Whatever we do, however we do it, it will never be done at the expense of the unemployed, the poor, the aged, the sick or the disabled," Turner said. "I believe in the Liberal heritage of the universality of our social programs." Chretien, without mentioning his rival by name, tried to pin the right-wing label on Turner more securely by emphasizing his own loyalty to Trudeau. "I WILL NOT move this great party to the right," he said. "I do not apologize for the record of Pierre Trudeau. He has left a legacy for all of us here today and for all Canadians." Trudeau, who rode to power in 1968 on a charismatic wave dubbed "Trudeaumania," has been prime minister ever sin- ce - except for a nine-month Progressive Conservative government in 1979-80. His accomplishments include the drafting of a new con- stitution and Charter of Rights and the quelling of separatist sentiment in French-speaking Quebec, his native province. TRUDEAU STEPPED aside after 16 years in power to spend more time with his three young sons. He received custody of the children after his separation from Margaret Trudeau-Kemper, who soon after their divorce earlier this year married Ottawa real estate millionaire Fried Kemper. Trudeau remained neutral during the 13-week campaign that began soon after he announced his retirement plans Feb. 29. Turner ... to succeed Trudeau State Legislature to decide on funding for education (Continued from Page3) lower chamber opposes Senate proposals to suspend general assistan- ce benefits for six months next year and make Detroit share some of its aid money with outstate cities. Busch, appearing on the television program "Off the Record," said par- ticipants seemed "close to an agreement" to cut the income tax to 5.35 percent in August - two months earlier than proposed by Blanchard. Such a cut would cost the state about $210 million, compared with the $140 million in revenue lost under the gover- nor's proposal, the Saginaw lawmaker said. But Owen said any change in the governor's proposal that costs the treasury more money is not acceptable. House Fiscal Agency Director John Morberg said it may be possible to ad- vance the tax cut without the extra cost. Owen, Busch and Engler met with Blanchard on Friday. The governor, who recently returned home from China, then met alone with Engler. The top Senate Republican emerged from that second session saying there is "some reason to be optimistic" that an agreement can be reached "in the near future." The Mount Pleasant lawmaker said the governor seems to accept that the state budget will have to reflect both Democratic and Republican ideas, now that the GOP controls one house of the Legislature. Busch, in his television appearance, admitted the tone of the negotiations has occasionally been tense. He said charges of racism in the Legislature have sparked some bitterness.
