Peace activist addresses
American militansm

BY JEFF HASS
Peace activist Brian Willson, who made headlines
last fall when he lost his legs after being hit by a train
during a protest against contra aid, told Ann Arbor
residents they should not allow the U.S. government to
commit violent acts.
"We need a revolution of consciousness so that the
rest of the world can live in peace and justice," Willson
told the 100-plus crowd at Ann Arbor's First Presbyte-
rian Church last Sunday. "The national security of the
United States means injustice for everyone else in the
world."
Willson criticized American militarism and
intervention abroad, citing the Vietnam war and U.S.
aid to the contra rebels in Nicaragua as examples. He
said he has not paid income taxes for several years to
avoid "complicity" with U.S. foreign policy.
"That's my money out there (in Nicaragua), and it's

killing people, and its for a lie," Willson said, relating
a conversation he had with a Nicaraguan peasant during
a visit to the country in 1986.
Willson lost both legs below the knee last Septem-
ber when a Navy munitions train struck him outside
the Concord Naval Weapons Station in California. He
was attempting to block the tracks to protest the ship-
ment of weapons to the contras in Nicaragua.
Since then, Willson said, "I have received far more
than I have given up... I have millions of new friends
all around the world." The accident, he said, gave him
the publicity and "moral authority" necessary to further
his cause.
He said he plans to return to Nicaragua in June, in
response to an invitation made by the Nicaraguan gov-
ernment, to establish a "people's embassy."
The crowd, including many University students, re-
acted favorably to Willson's speech.

Housing
disposes
of dorm
dregs
BY ANNA SENKEVITCH
It's a familiar end-of-winter-term
scene in University residence halls.
Your departed hallmates have left
all of their unwanted stuff lying
around.
The floor of the deserted hall
looks like your next-door neighbors
ran out of plates on which to eat
their room-cooked spaghetti dinners.
The place is a carpeted lumberyard.
What happens to the rugs, the
clothes, the wood from lofts - the
belongings which vacating students
abandon in residence halls at the end
of each year?
"Nowadays, almost everything
gocs in those big contractor dump-
ster barrels," said David Foulke, as-
sociate director of the University's
Housing Business Affairs.
"Back in the old days," Foulke
added, "there was alot of scavenging
(by University Housing employ-
ees)." Today, he said, "there is a
policy that we don't scavenge any
longer."
Foulke said some abandoned stu-
dent properties, such as television
sets, radios, or fumniture, are saved
and sold by a property disposition
office on North Campus.
Property sales are usually open to
the public, although the items are
occasionally earmarked for Univer-
sity use, said Hugh Wenk, manager
of property disposition.
Director of Housing Physical
Properties George SanFacon empha-
sized that valuable items, such as
stereos, are considered lost or
forgotten property, and the Univer-
sity retains them for about 30 days.
Then the office sells the unclaimed
property.
