Page 2-Tuesday, December 8, 1981-The Michigan Daily MSA to review proposed 'U' hazing policy (Continued from Page 1) because it is difficult to say how far the University can go in punishing mem- bers of groups that aren't legally tied to It. -(NON-INTERFERENCE) has historically been the University prac- tice," Johnson said. "Thus far, we take the position that it's not our business." Some hazing practices fall under sanctions listed in the Rules of the Unliversity Community, which are designed to protect both faculty and student rights, according to Johnson. but the next step of deliberation will beto clarify existing sanctions with the jkliversity legal officers, he said. "we'RE KIND of in the first phase," said Virginia Nordby, University af- firnative action officer and policy .oordinator. Nordby helped students draft the guidelines. Fraternity Coordinating Council president Bill Hogan said yesterday that the guidelines represent "a really *Irong statement that has to be made. It's something that has to be done," Hogan said. "It's the University's responsibility to take steps. They have to cover them- selves," he said. MSA PRESIDENT Jon Feiger said he feels the guidelines are long over- due. It's about time," Feiger said yesterday. 'It's the take step University 's responsibility to s (to regulate hazing). They have to cover themselves.'-Bill Hogan Fraternity Coordinating Council president national organization. The hazing guidelines to be reviewed by MSA tonight are the resultof work started in April 1980. A group of frater- nity and sorority leaders under the guidance of Chris Carlsen of the Student Organizations, Activities and Programs Office organized to consider the problem of hazing at the University. Since then, the committee has written several rough drafts of the proposed guidelines, and worked with the Office of Student Services to hammer out the details. SACUA chairman Morton Brown said yesterday he does not expect the com- mittee to officially discuss the hazing guidelines until next term. But some members of the Univer- sity's Greek system said they think the guidelines are unnecessary'for frater- nities and sororities. "We should keep it (the hazing problem) within the fraternity and sorority system," said Robert Sullivan, the Delta Tau Delta representative to the Fraternity Coordinating Council. SULLIVAN SAID that the Council has its own system for dealing with infrac- tions of the rules, and that fraternities caught hazing cannot be recognized by the Council. Delta Tau Delta has its own set of an- ti-hazing guidelines as set down by the Renovations of Michigan Union (Continued from Page 1) and a member of the Acting Executive Committee for the renovation project. Students had "full in- put," he said, which is "unheard of on this cam- pus." Surveys were taken to determine student opinion on the progress of the plans, and the results were provided to the architect. The committee also solicited opinions from student organizations, Dann said. Art students were going to be asked to help in the graphic design, Cianciola said, but the committee decided it would be too comprehensive a project. CONSTRUCTION IS scheduled to be in full-swing' after May commencement. The Union is now reviewing bids for a general contractor and is expected to present a contractor to the Regents later this month for final approval. One of the major changes, Cianciola said, will be to "brighten up" the main floor of the building. The new lighting will have "a very dramatic impact" on the appearance, he said, making the Union more in- viting. Along with new lighting,, the corridors will be widened and the woodwork will be stripped and restained in its original, dark, fruit-wood color to create a warm open area in which community members may socialize, he said. THE STUDY lounge on the main floor will remain in place, but an "active" lounge, where people can arting to shape up talk, eat, and ;drink, will be built across the hall. Next to the "active" lounge will be an expanded Campus Information Center. The University Club will also undergo major renovations, both physical and in programming, according to Union Food Service Manager Gary Treer. The drop ceiling will be removed and the original ceiling, about four feet higher and designed in the style of the original building, will be restored. They have been experimenting with new types of evening entertainment, including "reggae night" and "Lively Fridays," which have been successful, Treer said. On the ground floor, the University Cellar will move next door, where the pinball and vending machines are now located. INBRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Walesa calls for overthrow WARSAW, Poland - The Communist Party yesterday accused Solidarity leader Lech Walesa of calling for the overthrow of Polish authori- ties during a closed union meeting last week. Warsaw Radio broadcast Walesa's tape-recorded remarks, and Walesa confirmed yesterday that he had made the comments. He told The Associated Press his words were taken out of context but he would not elaborate. A radio spokesman said he could not say where the tapes came from. Coinciding with the harsh new Polish attack on Solidarity's leadership, the Soviet government newspaper Izvestia yesterday charged that extremists in Poland's trade union movement were verging on terrorism in their attempts to undermine the influence of the ruling Communist Party. GOP leader reprimanded WASHINGTON - Republican Party Chairman Richard Richards has been taken to the woodshed by White House aides unhappy with his recent predictions that PresidentReagan might not seek re-election, and that Richard Allen and David Stockman will soon lose their jobs. Sources at the White House and GOP headquarters denied that Richards is on his way out as Republican national chairman. "He's on his way to keeping his mouth shut," said a White House source who asked not to be identified. William Greener III, communications director for the Republican National Committee, acknowledged yesterday that since his comments a week ago, Richards has had several discussions with White House aides and "they were full and they were frank." New economic figures gloomy WASHINGTON - In the gloomiest forecast yet, Reagan administration economists estimate the budget deficit could soar to a record $109 billion in 1982 and $162 billion by 1984, placing further strains on the president's economic program. The bleak projections, which do not take into account the new budget cuts the president will seek from Congress early next year, point to the "monstrous problem" confronting Reagan in his quest for a balanced budget and a strong economic recovery, one administration official said yesterday. Reagan says Libyan plot real WASHINGTON - President Reagan rejected yesterday the denial by Col. Moammar Khadafy that Libyan terrorists have been sent to the United States to kill government leaders. "I wouldn't believe a word he says," Reagan said. "We have the evidence and he knows it. The president left open the, possibility of punitive steps against the Khadaft government. Asked whether he might seek a boycott of Libyan oil or other economic sanctions, Reagan replied only that "There have been no decisions made. As to the question of whether the United States could stand by idly if a foreign leader were trying to kill the president, Reagan said, "Well, maybe you've just caught me before we've had a chance to counsel on this." Creationism law challenged LITTLE ROCK, Ark-A federal judge began hearing a suit yesterday against an Arkansas law requiring public schools that teach evolution to give equal time to creationism, the theory that the universe was created suddenly from nothing. In opening arguments, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the suit, called the law a "dangerous violation" of the con- stitution. But the state maintained that it would broaden the knowledge of school children and does not require the teaching of religion. The law was signed last March by Gov. Frank White and goes into effect next fall. Louisi- ana has enacted a similar proposal, and the ACLU is challenging it as well.

"I don't really blame the press. The FDA played a crucial role in misleading the press. They (the FDA) did not want to remove saccharin from the market," he claimed. ALTHOUGH THE FDA announced a ban on saccharin in 1972, protests by the American Dental Sopiety (which claimed that use of saccharin instead of sugar helps prevent tooth decay), the American Cancer Society (which said the risks of using saccharin are out- weighed by its overall health benefits) and other groups eventually resulted in its continued use as a sweetener., Vander emphasized that animal studies can give qualitative, but not quantitative, results. "All (the resear- ch) proves is that this chemical, given in some huge dose, will cause cancer in some animals," he said. "From there, we must extrapolate exactly how strong the cancer-causing agent is in rats, and then relate it to how potent it is in people." Bladder cancer, like all other can- cers, has a "latency period" lasting from 20 to 50 years, during which the cancer "lies dormant." "Since sac- charin did not come into popular use until about 1950, you wouldn't expect many cases to even begin showing up until right about now," he explained. Although saccharin is a "suspected carcinogen," there are several chemicals-including tobacco smoke and vinyl chloride-known to increase the cancer rate in people exposed to them. To minimize the risk of cancer from these and other chemicals, Vander ad- vises eating a widely varied diet and cutting down on exposure to man-made chemicals "as muchas possible without making it a fetish. "Not all environmental changes are' bad," he said. "In fact, the incidence of stomach cancer has decreased in recent years, and this can only be due to an environmental change.

Weekend muggings A 26-year-old woman was mugged Saturday night while walking through an alley in the 100 block, of E. Washington. Police reported that they apprenhended a 20-year-old suspect af- ter the attack. He had tried to grab her purse, she told police, and she resisted. He then hit her over the head with a wine bottle, knocking her to the ground. He continued to beat her with the bottle and his fists when she screamed and people nearby came to help her, causing him to flee. The suspect was arrested later that evening on the 800 block of State St., and is being held in Washtenaw County jail.
