Orono council votes for nuclear arms race haltby Claudia ruLLIStaff Writer

The Orono Town Council last nightvoted unanimously to adopt aresolution calling for a halt to thenuclear arms race. About 50 peopleattended the meeting that was movedfrom the Council Chambers in theTown Hall to a larger room in the AsaAdams Elementary School.The resolution reads, in part:"Be it resolved that the Town

resolution, James F. Horan, OronoTown Council chairman and associateto the president of UMO, said he hadreceived petitions of over 370signatories requesting the council toadopt the resolution.

More than 75 signatures werecollected from Orono residents oncampus, said Barbara Tennent, MainePeace Action Committee memberbefore the meeting.All discussion was in favor of the

Shift in priorities foruniversity researchby Sallie VallelyStaff Writer

Appropriation of funds for researchat LIMO and other universities acrossthe country is not being reduced inactual dollars and cents but ratherthere has been a shift in priorities as tohow money should be spent. 'The trend now is to use research

funds for applied sciences and appliedpurposes."The funds available by the federal

government for research in 1981 were$34 billion. $37 billion in 1%2. and anestimated $41 billion for 1983. Theresearch money is shifting. There hasbeen a large increase in defenseresearch and the sciences,"said E.Hutchinson, vice president of researchand public service.

Hutchinson said there is a miscon-ception about what defense researchactually does."Defense research does not involve

entirely research in bombs and guns.For example. we are seeing someeffective research taking place inoceanography." he said.

Hutchinson said that in everyadministration (presidential) there aresubstantial changes in priorities inre ard to how research money should

be used.'Research departments cant let up

for a minute in the quest for lettingfederal and state agencies know thepriorities of research in higher educa-tion." Hutchinson said.

Dr. Lam Zibilske. associate profes-sor of plants and soils said. "We arefeeling the pinch in maintaining andreceiving research funds. What Wehave to determine is what is importantto society. what is applicable, anduseful in a short term period."

Zibilske said that the departmentreceives research funds from in-dustries. and applied federal grants."Grants are a very important source ofmoney and they're extremely difficultand competitive to get," he said,"because these grants are beingcompeted for by universities all overthe country. Applying for a grantinvolves writing a specific proposal,achieving definite goals, and theproposal is judged on the quality of theproject's importance."Zibilske said that the questions

scientists must answer at this timehave to be addressing immediateproblems and are limited by money.Howard Forsythe. chairman of the

entomology department. said. "Most

said.A couple of examples of the type of

Orientation program was a successby Connie McKenzieStaff Writer

The "See Maine in Action"programsponsored by the admissions office lastweek for high school seniors and theirparents was a great success, saidWilliam Bryan, associate director ofadmissions, and Tom Burns, assistantto the director of admissions.

The program, which ran Feb. 16-19,was a chance for high school seniors

interested in attending UMO next yearto tour the campus and its facilities,visit classes, and ask questions.Burns said there were no buses or

major groups from any school.Students were "just trickling in a fewat a time all day long. We had about100 students and 50 parents each day,"he said, adding that a lot more fathersthan usual visited this year.

Summer job day heldin Fogler Libraryby Claudia TucciStaff Writer

The bare third floor of FoglerLibrary became a maze of brochure-covered tables and slide showsyesterday for about 500 studentslooking for summer jobs.

Thirty organizations took part inSummer Job Opportunity Day to offermore than 300 jobs, mostly in Mainesummer camps."The main purpose of the day is to

let students know what jobs areavailable." said Ruth A. Doucette.She is coordinator of the Job Locationand Development Program in theOffice of Student Employment Pro-grams, which sponsored Summer JobOpportunity Day.Some of the organizations partici-

pating were the Maine Bureau ofParks and Recreation. Aloha Camps(Vermont). Mount Washington CogRailway. Brunswick Music Theaterand Atlantic Sea Run Salmon Corn'mission.

Examples of jobs offered includedcamp counselor, driver, theater ap-prentice. nurse, assistant camp direct-or, pianist, laborer, business managercook, lifeguard, clerk and brakeper-son .Doucette said 26 students are

known to have gotton jobs last year asa result of Summer Job OpportunityDay. Twenty-six employers partici•pated then, she said.

Doucette said another resource forstudents seeking summer jobs is thefree Job Locator program, a referral

service offered by the Office ofStudent Employment Programs.OSEPhas files on more than 200 employersin New England and the U.S..including information on job descrip-tions. employer prerequisites. salary.hours and application procedures, shesaid.

Final responsibility for successfulplacement rests with the student andthe employer. Doucette said. "We'renot a placement office. We're areferral service."

Controversy over speakers broughtabout the name change for theDistinguished Lecture Series (DSL)and the formation of a new committee.

The DLS name change to the GuestLecture Series came about becausefaculty and administration did not feelthat convicted Watergate conspiratorG. Gordon Liddy, a speaker during the80-81 school year, is a "distinguishdlecturer," said a high-ranking officialof the university.A dean of the university explained

that the issue of who can be considereda "distinguished lecturer" had comeup on occasion throughout the courseof the year. The decision to bringLiddy under this program brought thewhole thing to a head.At that time President Silverman

suggested a name change, and after theDLS members discussed the matter itwas decided to change the name toGuest Lecture Series, said JohnPhilbrick, chairman of the DLS." The bottom line was, students and

faculty both agreed that the facultyshould decide who is considered"academically distinguished." That'sabout all there was to it," Philbricksaid.

"Basically we found the word

'distinguished' in our title a bit tooconfining," he added.

During the last semester the GLS didnot bring many so called"controversial" speakers. butPhilbrick explained "We do not golooking for speakers that arecontroversial. We (the committee) arealways open for ideas and suggestionson speakers or topics. I do not decide;it is a committee decision on who tobring to campus.

"We are now considsering bringingPeter Gimbel. He is thecinematographer who is currentlytrying to raise the Andrea-Doria;Wewill also be bringing political ideas andpeople from the Emery and Mitchellcampaigns; and we haven't made anyfinal decision but we are going to havesomeone to speak on Reaganomics."Along with the name change it was

decided that a new committee would beformed. This committee is comprisedof both students and faculty. Thereare a total of 12 members, it is co-chaired, and expenses are split evenlybetween the faculty and studentcommittees.

This committee kept theDistinguished Lecture Series name andthe student committee changed to theGuest Lecture Series, Philbrick said.

"Semester at Sea"(continued from page 11 America as being very rich."01 time becomes more significant," shesaid."I used to be more concerned with

recent U.S. history--the things that Icould relate to," Cache said. "Butafter going to all those places that areso old.. the U.S. is so young comparedto them."She said her favorite country was

Mainland China, and that she wouldlove to go back there someday. "Of allthe countries we visited, it was themost radically different from the U.S.The people there are not accustomed towesterners, and they would stop on thestreet and stare and stare at you. Theywould really give you the once-over,"Caelie said. "A lot of themwould like to visit the U.S. and someeven want to use here. They picture

In India. Cache said the natives werebegging everywhere, and seemed tothink westerners were likely targets fora handout. "I was a little annoyedbecause they just assumed all whitepeople are well off and would givethem something. The trouble was, ifyou made the mistake of givinganything to one person, all of themwould immediately swarm all over youand just about attack you to get ahandout too."

Cache said that ot all the students onthe trip, only two others were fromMaine and they attended Dartmouthand Wheaton. Most of the studentswere from California and Colorado,but there were people from all over thecountry.

World hunger is topicof film-lecture seriesby David WalkerStaff WriterHunger, and the myths and facts

surrounding its cause, is the topicfocused on by the World HungerSeries at UMODeborah Bridge. co-coordinator of

the series, says people can begin tofight the world-wide problem by firstrealizing how our work and lifestylemight perpetuate it.The series began Feb. 4 with a film

contrasting the worlds of the 'haves'and the 'have-nots' and will continueevery Thursday in the Coe Lounge ofthe Memorial Union at noon untilApril 22.

Topics will range from foreignpolicy, international economics andthe increasing corporate control offood producing resources to how theindividual can make beneficialchanges."The most important thing is for

people to realize the connectionbetween their life work and how itaffects the world.•• Bridges said.

Bridge. a senior nutrition major.said one of the basic aims of the seriesis to dispell some of the myths thatsurround the world hunger problem.She noted the case of El Salvador

where there is no shortage of food yetpeople are going to bed hungry."Hunger is a social problem, not a

scarcity problem. In most every case.the countries where people are bestfed are the countries where peoplehave the most voice in the govern-ment. Things we do. such assupporting certain government poli-cies, are perpetuating world hunger."she said.

Bridge said "We don't have theanswers to the problem. We're reallyinforming people what hunger is not.We're asking people to look at thekinds of social structures that canovercome the problem."To me. opposing U.S. support of

dictatorships in third world countriesis important in fighting world hunger.In El Salvador we are, in essence,supporting world hunger."

Barbara Raymond. also coordinat-ing the series. said that people oftenfeel they must make major changes intheir lifestyle to contribute to the fightagainst world hunger when there aresmall changes we each can make.By not wasting as many disposable

products, writing letters to congress-men and keeping informed we eachcan have a positive effect, Raymondsaid.

OpinionCabin fever

With the arctic temperatures, the howling wind,and the shoulder-high snowdrifts often comes asevere case of "cabin fever."

After the homework is done on the long nights ofwinter there is often little to do in the confines ofone's room. Even the television fails to brighten upmany a winter evening.As a result, many students (and non-students) turn

to indoor, sedentary "activities". No longer ispartying put off til the weekend, but the "mid-weekblahs" are often chased away with a bottle.

Last weekend, students attempted to chase awaywinter boredom during Winter Carnival with games,contests, and, of course, drinking.

Three cases of Operating Under the Influence andseveral cases of vandalism were recorded by UMOpolice last weekend. What started out as a weekendof fun and games ended up costing a lot for thesepartiers. Luckily, these drivers and vandals werecaught before they caused injury to themselves or tosomeone else. But, who will ever know how manydrunk drivers were on the road this weekend andwere not caught, driving from party to party?

The University ofillaine at Orono's student newspaper since 775

Toole's TurnJOHN TDOLE

Indeed, 25 OUI's were issued during the wintermonths this school year (Nov.-Feb.) by UMO police.Presumably, with the cold weather, people are lessapt to walk (or stumble) home from their drinkingactivies and more people mix drinking and driving.To make matters worse, the road conditions are at

their worst in winter, making it even moretreacherous for the inebriated to drive. Withreaction time already drastically cut by alcoholconsumption, the drunk driver becomes the easy preyof the smallest patch of ice.

True, it seems inconceivable to have the carnivalreverie and high spirits without alcohol consumptionalong with it. The world-renowned Quebec WinterCarnival attests to the traditional link between wintermonkeyshines and moonshine.But when driving enters the picture, the situation

changes from fun to risky--and not just for thedriver.

If alcohol must be your personal solution to"cabin fever," keep it off the road.

Not as easyas it seems"Why do you put up with all

this flack, Toole?" my friendasked, as we talked over lunch atthe snack bar last week."What do you mean?" I said.

"I've been noticing the lettersto the editors lately and you'vereally been hit hard. You know,the sports page is making toomany errors and not providingproper coverage," she said."Well, you get used to the

letters. They're a part of thisbusiness--a great part. The nicething about being a reporter isthat the public makes sure you'redoing the job right. Besides, wehave made some dumb errors,"I replied."It just seems to me that there

are too many complaints aboutcoverage. Why can't you givemore ink to these minor sports?"she said."We could," I said, "but it

just isn't as simple as people seemto think. Let me try and explain."Every week the Campus

sports editor is allotted only somany pages. We average aboutseven to 10 pages a week. Nowthose aren't full pages either.Advertising takes up a lot ofroom—sometimes a half page."We are forced to make tough

decisions because of the spacelimitations. Sometimes we haveto hold off publication of storieson minor sports for a day ormore. I know that's not fair, butwe have to do it."Why? Because we must

provide a lot of space forbasketball and hockey. Peopleget upset about this, but it is afact of life that more peoplefollow those sports than anyother on this campus."Look at hockey. The team is

having an off year, but they stillget 2,500 people at a game. Weowe it to those people to provideample coverage of the sport in theCampus." Then there are our

advertisers. They buy spacebecause they know people wantto read about the hockey games.When people read the hockeystories, they might just glance atan ad. If we stop coveringbasketball and hockey, we canforget about those advertisers.When we lose advertisers, thenwe can't afford to print morepages. A loss of revenue meanscuts In coverage to all sports."My friend looked lost. "I can

understand and accept thosereasons, but couldn't you at leastprovide results from the eventsoutside of hockey andbasketball?" she asked."That is much easier said than

done," I replied. "We can'tafford to send writers to awaymeets. Except for the times whenI can get a reporter a ride withsomebody, the basketball andhockey games are covered by

Trojan-horse proposal' of our ownTo the Editor:

Evidently, even UMO has a"Trojan-horse proposal" ofits very own. I was disturbed,though, not surprised, at therecent letter to the editorendorsing a pair of candidatesfor the upcoming studentgovernment elections solelybecause they favored increasedfunding for Student LegalServices. The Trojan-horseanalogy relates to theinevitable results of throwingmoney at an organization inspite of severe limitations onthe source of that funding.There can be only 2 results ofincreased funding for SLS: I)less funding for all othergroups and boards, or 2) anincrease in the activity fee. Iwonder how many voteswould be won if the candidates

had been more candid andcame out in favor of lessfunding for aciivilies or anincrease in the activity fee.

The rationale for pursuingthis seat-of-the-pants stand isas ill-advised as it is deceptive.To suggest that a five dollaruser-fee is a deterrent to accessto SLS is absurdly humorous.if people decline to utilize SLSbecause of the fee, this is asignal that the students of thisuniversity do not value theservice provided at even fivedollars. This would bescarcely grounds to rescindfunding to other populargroups. In fact, it would betantamount to throwing goodmoney after bad.

The paternity of anindividual may bedetermined by a blood test,which is not only extremelyexpensive, but difficult toadminister in cases ofcontest by the father, unlessbrought about by a courtorder.

One may also determinepaternity by a swornaffidavit by the mother oreven the father in thepresence of a dulyauthorized official.

When dealing with theappearance of the father'sname on the birthcertificate, the name maynot be placed upon thecertificate without writtenconsent of the putative(commonly accepted orsupposed) father and mustalso be acknowledgedbefore an offical authorized

to take oaths. However, ifpaternity has beendetermined by a court ofcompetent jurisdiction, thename shall appear on thecertificate (Title 22ss 2761).Further support of the

father's rights concerninghis child(ren) may be foundin the records of previouscourt decisions. Onejudgement of the MaineSupreme Judicial Court in1978 stated that the fatherhas the right to "inheritfrom the child" if heacknowledges paternitybefore a justice of the peaceor a notary public and maymaintain this claim in theform of a declaration whilesuch evidence of hispaternity exists, eventhough the mother may nothave begun adoptionproceedings.
