Quiet draft protest
turns into argument
by MIKE WRIGHT
LIFE Staff Writer
What began as a quiet anti-
draft registration turned into a
loud argument between its
organizers and passers-by
Monday in the lower level of the
University Center.
The registration was
organized by Central's chapter
of the Public Interest Research
Group in Michigan as a method
to sign up students, for the anti-
draft movement.
However,     according     to
PIRGIM member Eileen Winter,
registration was interrupted by
students who were apparently
upset with the anti-draft
movement.
Winter, Onaway senior, said
the group had been set up in
front of the UC Reservation
Wednesday afternoon, when the
pro-draft persons appeared.
"One of them was playing the
devil's advocate," she said.
Winter said one student
suggested all pacifists should be
nuked.
Soon    after    the    pro-draft
students appeared, passers-by
also stopped and engaged in the
argument, which ranged from
draft registration to a possible
nuclear war.
"The draft would bring about
total distruction of the human
race," said PIRGIM member
Mark Hill.
Peter Bashakes, Royal • Oak
junior, also expressed sentiments against the draft, while
proposing a possible solution to
the Russian threat to world
peace.

Central approves
candidate plan
by JAMES ISELER
LIFE Staff Writer
The University has approved financing for a
plan which will bring major political candidates to
CMU, a Student Affairs spokeswoman said
Tuesday.
Letters will be sent out Monday to registered
candidates and sponsors of major ballot issues
asking if they would come speak at CMU, said
Sharon George, assistant to the vice-president of
Student Affairs.
George mentioned Sen. Edward Kennedy, ID-
Mass., and George Bush, R-Texas, as two candidates that will be invited to Central.
A committee comprised of various campus
political groups has released the financial
breakdown to make funds available to candidates.
The First Voters Forum Committee will be
making the funds available only for advertising
the event, George said. Candidates and speakers
will not be paid or given contributions.
The Committee includes representatives from
the CM Democrats, CMU Republicans, Student
Association's Legislative Affairs Department,
the Socialist Discussion Group, the Political
Science Department, and Student Affairs.
"It's just our cost to put on our own program,"
George said about financing.
Whether candidates accept the Committee's
invitation will depend on how Michigan looks
politically around primary time, she added.
"If it looks good for their campaign, then they
may well be coming to old Mount Pleasant,"
George said.
Financing will be made available only to
regijlered candidates and sponsors of issues that
are on the 1980 ballot. Candidates and issues can
be at the state, local or national level and any
group or person on campus can suggest speakers,
George said.
We're not going to support something that is
only in the petition stage," George said, referring
to ballot issues.
National candidates or their designated
surrogates will receive $300, state candidates will
get $200 and local candidates would receive $100
in advertising. Ballot issue speakers will get $200.
George said whenever possible, the Committee
will try to have the candidate speak but in the
case of national candidates it may be forced to
accept a representative of the campaign.
. Each case will be looked at separately in the
case of surrogates, George said.
CMU to buy Winfreds?
It may be feasible idea
by SARAH A. ROWLEY
LIFE Staff Writer
Is it for sale or isn't it?
No one knows for sure — if
CMU is seriously considering
buying J.R. Winfred's, 3965 E.
Broomfield Road.
Dave Hunter, owner of the
bar, says he was considering
selling it in August because he
didn't know if owning the two
bars (he also owns the Wayside
Central) would work out.
Now, he says, he has no intention of selling the bar.
"But as a businessman,
everything is for sale," he "added. "For a certain price — like
$2 million - I might sell it,
though."
CMU officials say they have
looked at the building possibly
for office space recently,
however, and have done a
preliminary cost feasibility
study.
"Six months ago, the owner
talked to us of generous
possibilities and said he'd be
willing to look at possibilities,"
CMU President Harold Abel
said.
"We looked at it for auxiliary
services and found its use to be
economically marginal when you
consider the purchase price and
remodeling," he added.
The idea was dropped until
recently and CMU is again
looking at purchasing the
building.
There are six areas at CMU
saying they need more space so
CMU is again looking at it.
"We're taking another look at
it, but we're not at the point of
really looking at it," Abel said.
"If the economics haven't
changed in the past six months,
the chances are much more
toward not getting it.
"I'd give it a 25 percent
chance of CMU buying Winfred's," he added. "It's hard to
make it feasible when we don't
have the money to allocate for it
but we are looking and talking
about    it."
University Architect Anthony
Paparella said he walked
through the building about two
months ago and it was his understanding that it was for sale
at that time.
WHIP offers suggestions
to avoid possible rape
by SUSAN KAIN
LIFE Staff Writer
To help prevent rape, three steps of awareness,
assertiveness and avoidance of patterns are
suggested by the Women's Health and Information Project.
Women should be aware when walking alone of:
dark areas, people that may be walking in the
same territory, and homes with lights on that one
may run for safety, if needed, Cindy Newson,
WHIP sexual assault coordinator said.
"When you get caught off guard, your defenses
are shot. If you are aware of what is going on
around you, you have a preconceived notion of
what you can do to avoid a rape," Newson, Boine
Falls sophomore said.
The second tip is to be assertive and say "no"
when you mean it, especially on dates, Newson
said.
Another deterent is avoiding patterns. Since
one-half of all rapes are planned, altering daily
routes to and from classes helps lessen the chance
of rape.
Leslie Bonstelle, Department of Public Safety
detective sergeant, advises people not to travel
alone after dark and avoid dark areas, railroad
tracks and bushes after dark.
"We don't want everyone to be paranoid but to
be aware that something could occur and not go
along blindly thinking it can't happen at Central,"
Bonstelle said.
Newson said most rapes occur within a
residence and one-third take place in the victim's
own home or room. Also, in one-half of all rapes,
the victim knows the assailant who may be a
classmate, a friend's relative, a roommate's
boyfriend, or any other acquaintance.
