( Ninety- Two Years Of Editorial Freedom I E Lit igan 1E ai1 THE SAME A chance of rain late this afternoon and a high in the mid 60s. Vol. XCII, No. 17, Copyright 1981, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, September 29, 1981 Ten Cents Ten Pages N U'still debating - at hazing policy By BETH ALLEN Nearly a year after the hazing of five Michigan hockey players brought tie issue to light, the University is still, struggling to put together a hazing policy. Budget worries over the summer have delayed con- sideration of the proposed policy, which would define hazing but would not specify any punishments for it. THE PROPOSAL now sits on the desk of Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson, who is reviewing it and will pass it on to the University's executive officers for further consideration. A student group made up of fraternity and sorority leaders and led by Chris Carlsen of the Student Organizations Ac- tivities and programs office, has been meeting since April, 1980 to hammer out'the hazing guidelines. The reason it has taken the group this long to come this far is that they're treading on new territory, Carlsen explained. The University has traditionally avoided hazing matters, and it takes a long time to change that attitude, she said. THE HAZING definition that has been developed by the student group would apply to fraternities, sororities, Univer- sity clubs and athletic teams, Carlsen said. The draft defines hazing as "any willful act, with or without ifitent to harm," including activities involving physical or mental assault, degradation, forced consumption of food and drink, mandatory personal servitude, impair- ment of civil liberties or academic performance or violations of the law. "The policy (definition) is fine," Johnson said last week. But, Johnson said the group must propose some penalties for violators and a grievance process before the University's executive officers evaluate anti-hazing guideline,. One problem with establishing an anti-hazing policy is that the University at this time has no legal jurisdiction over what fraternities and sororities do to pledges. "THUS FAR, WE (the University) take the position that fraternity and sorority hazing is not our .business," explained Johnson. "There are legal remedies students can turns to for help," he said. One remedy to this issue may be legislation proposed by State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) which would give See UNIVERSITY, Page 2 Stocks dive worldwide m as free-faI1' Wali St pssrally Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK False alarm Students outside Angell Hall get some fire drill practice after a fire alarm went off in the building yesterday afternoon.

About $6.4 billion in British stock value was wiped out *of investors' ac- counts in a market already drained by two weeks of losses totaling $25.81 billion. "A trend, once started like this,, usually goes too far," said John Brew, analyst for the London brokerage house Grieveson Grant, THE DOWNWARD trend hit the New York Stock Exchange in early trading with the Dow Jones index falling 15 points. But then it turned upward, gathering momentum as it went. By the close of trading the widely recognized yardstick of market trends stood at 842.56, up 18.55 on the day. That gloom-to-euphoria turnaround contrasted sharply with the news from most foreign markets, which were bat- tered by selling amid what one analyst described as talk 'of "a world-wide THE FALL in the London market - the worst-ever FT index drop was 24 points in the midst of a change in government in March 1974 was just one of several spectacular falls in world markets Monday. * In Tokyo, the Nikkei=Dow index for 225 major issues slumped 302.84, closing at 7,037.12 in the worst single- day plunge ever. "It was as if the bot- tom of a bucket had fallen off," said one Tokyo broker. * In Hong Kong, shares plummeted. to their lowest level of the year, 1,245.26 on the Hang Seng index, a drop of 105.75. * In Zurich, the drop was the worst in 61/2 years, 5.3 points on the Credit Suisse stock index, which closed at 230.0. + In Paris, the Bourse market in- dicator dropped 3.57 percent on the day, having been off by 4.76 percent at mid- session. " The Toronto stock ma'rket plunged 54.48 points in early trading, but recouped to 1806.62 by 1 p.m., down 5.86 points on the day. Other sharp drops were reported in Singapore, Frankfurt and Sydney. Explanations for the -fall abounded. Most centered on investor fears of rising interest rates' and worldwide recession. Adding to those fears, however, was a' prediction by Wall Street guru Joseph Granville last week of a record-setting "Blue Monday" that would rock the world's financial foundations. FOR BRITISH investors, the driving force apparently was fear that interest rates, already at a prime lending rate of 14 percent, could go as high as the record of 17 percent. Ordinary customers for such loans as mortgages pay two percentage points above the base. "A wind of panic is blowing over Western markets and Paris is feeling the chill," a French stock broker said. "The situation around the world is not encouraging. The Reagan magic is not working any more."~ The U.S. stock market failed to bear - out Granville's prophecy that the Dow Jones industrial average soon would sink to the 700's. Some analysts said it was rumored professional traders had decided not to sell-to discredit one of America's most influential but flam- boyant forecasters. THE NEW YORK market's rebound came as a relief to traders who had been watching the Dow Jones industrial average fall more than 200 points since last spring. On April 27, it stood at an eight-year higli of 1,024.05. Trading activity during the day never, reached the pace of the silver crisis in early 1980 involving the Hunt brothers of Texas, or of the 23.$0-point drop last Jan. 7 when Granville urged his followers to "sell everything." That day a record 92.89 million shares were traded' on the NYSE. Monday's volume, by a preliminary estimate, came to 61.80 million shares. By PAM MARKS Dormitories are providing something else this year besides a place to eat, sleep, and be merry. Due to an increased demand for dan- ce classes, and lack of space in the Cen- tral Campus Recreation Building, 12 dance classes are being offered this term by the Adult Activities Program at several campus dorm lounges. This year about 120 people tended to show up for (each of the five) classes that could only take about 60," said Kay Nielsen, a dance instructor. "Some get off the wait list, but not many," she said. The 12 classes, which average about 25 students each, are being offered during the late afternoon and early evening hours ,in student lounges at Markley, Betsy Barbour, Helen Newberry, Stockwell, Mosher Jordan and Martha Cook halls, according to Phyllis Weikart, coordinator of the Adult Activities Program. The program has hired two full-time dance instructors and two graduate students who each teach 20 meetings spaning 10 weeks, Weikart said. Class participants pay $26 for the course, she added. DURING ONE afternoon session, in- structed by Mary Howell, students spent 10 minutes warming up to slow- paced music. Then the class began dancing simple routines calling for a variety of jumps, kicks, and stretches. Fast-paced rock and roll set the beat. "It's fun to exercise to the music," said LSA sophomore Hana Schneider after a vigorous workout at Martha Cook hall. "I have a strong dance background and am-still getting a good workout, it's a demanding exercise session." During Howell's class, students checked their pulses to gage how much they are pushing themselves. The last, 10 minutes of class were devoted to slow stretching exercises in order to cool down.

IX x Hinckley pleads insanity WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawyers for John Hinckley Jr. notified a federal court yesterday that they plan to contend the accused presidential assailant is in- nocent by reason of insanity. The decision means Hinckley's 26-year life will likely be put on display before a jury, including his obsession with actress Jodie Foster. Hinckley wrote that he would "get Reagan" to impress her. IF PAST PRACTICE in insanity cases is followed, competing psychiatrists would play a significant role' in the trial - which is unlikely to begin before December. The experts would help the jury decide whether mental illness prevented Hinckley from un- ddrstanding the wrongfulness of his actions. A verdict of innocent by reason of insanity would send Hinckley to a mental institution until a judge ruled he was no longer dangerous to himself or to others because of mental illness. Hinckley could face life imprisonment if convicted of crimes in the 13- count indictment. HINCKLEY'S LAWYERS, partners of famed criminal defense attorney Edward Bennett Williams, waited until the last possible moment to raise the in- sanity defense. District Judge Barrington Parker had set yesterday as the deadline for the notification, which is required under federal rules of criminal procedure. Hinckley's lawyers also asked for a split trial, with the first part devoted to testimony about the shooting of President Reagan and three others March 30 out- side a Washington hotel. The second phase would be the attempt to prove Hinckley innocent by reason of insanity. Since the shooting, Hinckley has been extensively examined by three separate teams of psychiatrists, with one team appointed by the court and the others hired by the defense and prosecutors. ' student raped in home, near campus A 21-year-old University student was raped in her apartment on the 500 block of Lawrence early yesterday morning after her assailant entered her unlocked apartment, police said. This is the third rape in the city this month. The suspect, described by police to be in his mid-twenties,. entered through an unlocked door in the rear of the building at about 3:00 a.m. The assailant en- tered the victim's room, also unlocked, and threatened her with a knife. He then raped her and fledthe apartment: She was treated at University Hospital and released. Sgt. William Canada of the Ann Arbor Police Department said there was no way of telling if the suspect in all three rape cases is the same man. He added that there is no indication that yester- day's victim knew her assailant. .. ........:: ':::::::. ::.

But lately, Jackson is ex- periencing a new type of acclaim. Fans have started tossing cash at him, and the money really starts flying when Jackson hits his renowned home runs. What does Jackson do when the bills and coins pour in around him? "I pick them up," he explained. Sunday's collection came to $82.50 and would have been substantially more, Jackson said, except security officers chased him off the field as he was collecting the windfall. Jackson, who takes the whole fad as a "compliment" says he plans to put the money to good use. "I'm going to put it together in a trophy-maybe between 7 and 8 feet tall, standing upright, and running near the White River bottoms on the county's southwest side. "All the subjects we talked to were sober," Wilson said. "They appeared to really have seen something." Wilson said sheriff's police investigated but found no evidence of the creature.

So he decided to raise a little money by putting his personal and political momentos on the auction block. An embossed briefcase, state-seal cufflinks and personalized hard hats-used at groundbreakings-were-sold as more than 200 people jammed a warehouse Saturday to bid on Blan- ton's goods. The total amount, realized from the sale was not immediately available, but friends say Blanton needed money badly to pay for legal fees and fines from his June 9 conviction of conspiracy and mail fraud charges.
