Free Popcorn: U-M students Dean Baker and Liz Gottlieb handed out free popcorn Friday night in front of the State Theater to renew a long-standing protest against owner Kerasotes Theaters. Organizers said they hoped the free popcorn would cut into sales inside the theater. The theater, one of three owned by Kerasotes, has been boycotted since the chain bought it in 1984 and fired union projectionists, replacing them with non-union workers. Last year, Kerasotes sued The Pinkertons, a street theater group that staged protest skits in front of the theater, saying they had cost the chain $10,000 in revenue. That suit was settled out of court earlier this year.

A big plus for Diana Markel, manning the phones at Democratic headquarters, is the fact that Democratic congressional candidate Dean Baker "is not some faraway figure.'

Ann Arbor Police Arrest Dean Baker Following Protest at Armory Building, January 1987 Photographer: Larry E. Wright

Arrested - Police arrest former congressional candidate Dean Baker and his campaign manager Mark Weisbrot Thursday after the pair refused to leave the National Guard Armory on East Ann Street during a protest against "U.S. intervention in Central America." They were released but may be charged if warrants are authorized. About 30 protestors from the Latin American Solidarity Committee, Amistad, HAP-NICA and other groups took part. "The protests . . . have targeted the National Guard Armory because of the guard's role in the military build-up in Honduras," said a protestors' flyer. The handout said the action was the first of weekly protests. Weisdrot said Guardsmen trained in Honduras last year, but officials so no Michigan Guardsmen will be taking part in maneuvers scheduled in Honduras this winter and spring.
