Diverse anti-MX interests blast Drooosed ‘monster’ By MIKE ANDERSON Of the Emerald Construction of the MX missile system actually would reduce national security, a Great Basin Alliance represen tative claimed Saturday. Joe Griggs and four other Nevada and Utah residents brought their nation-wide tour opposing the MX missile system to the EMU for a presentation sponsored by the Survival Center, Clergy and Laity Con cerned and the Great Basin Al liance. Edwin Firmage, a University of Salt Lake City law professor, said construction of the missile system will cause ‘‘grave in stability.” He said the MX has 50,000 times the destructive capability of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Firmage called the proposed THE PAPER t CAPER system — a network of roadways and railways connecting more than 50 possible deployment sites for each missile — a “harebrained scheme.” “The MX missile threatens life itself, the most fundamental of all human rights," said Firmage, who says he favors a morator ium on all nuclear testing and development. ‘The MX missile threatens life itself, the most fundamen tal of all human rights’ Both Firmage and retired Ad miral John Lee questioned the system's '‘shell-game’’ con cealment plan. Lee called this latest step in the arms race a “slippery slope," and maintained that each new weapon moves the United States closer to the point of no return. The system’s flaws, Lee said, include intrinsic vulnerability, open-ended extension of the arms race, and practical infer iority to an alternative defense system. The MX system will be obsolete before it is complete, he said, and that will leave the United States just as vulnerable. “We should recognize that we’re powerful enough," Lee said. Shifting the deployment sys tem to sea and shifting to smaller weapons are more practical alternatives, he said. Janet Moose, a representa tive of Western Shoshone CASH For Textbooks Mon.-Fri. Smith Family Bookstore 768 E. 13th 1 Bl. From Campus Ph 345-1651 Sacred Land Association, said construction of the MX missile threatens the natural lifestyle of the Shoshone Indians as well as the lifestyles of residents near construction sites. “Construction of these huge monsters constitutes the des truction of the Indian people,” Moose said. Nevada rancher Don Spring meyer said the MX’s impact on water, grazing and socio-econ omic factors are not problems plaguing just ranchers — they are threats to the entire nation. Plant life in construction areas will undergo permanent and irreversible damage, the cattleman said, while the quality and quantity of the water — the most valuable resource in the Great Basin region — will be severely affected. The land area required to build the MX system is the size of the state of Pennsylvania, and area farmers can’t cope with that loss, Springmeyer said. “We’re here to fight the government. Together, hopefully we can persuade the government to abandon this madness.” Haig loses big income HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Alexander Haig gave up poten tial income estimated at $1.6 million when he resigned as president of an aerospace and defense company to become secretary of state, a newspaper reported Sunday. His annual government salary is $69,630. Total compensation for his 13 months at United Technologies Corp. was $1.2 million, includ ing stock options, company records show Haig joined the corporation in December 1979 and left in January. The figures were obtained from reports required by the Securities and Exchange Com mission and published by the Hartford Courant. f Position Statement For UO Bookstore Board of Directors Paul Barish Freshman Position My name is Paul Barish, and I am running for the Freshman position on the Board of Directors for the University of Oregon Bookstore. I am a Business major who enjoys challenges of all kinds, and I am not afraid to work hard in order to get a job done. I worked in an accounting firm for a year as an Assistant Accountant, and I worked in a hardware store for a year as Assistant Manager. I believe my experience will be valuable input to the Board. This is an important position to me for a good reason. I use the Bookstore to buy many things, especially books, and I would like to become involved in saving time and money for all of us who use the Bookstore. I see the Bookstore as an invaluable resource for us as students to cut our expenses by using our membership in the Bookstore to our advantage. I would like to, through membership on the Board, put into effect constructive ideas to make the Bookstore work more efficiently for us. Paul Barish Paid tor by Paul Barish lor Freshman position.
