The indictment, handed down by the Dade County grand jury yesterday and unsealed by Circuit Judge Gerald Wetherington, charged Officer Luis Alvarez with manslaughter, a second- degree felony carrying a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Alvarez, 32, turned himself in shortly after 2 p.m. at the Central Police Station. He was booked and released on his own recognizance. ALVAREZ SAID nothing when asked for comment. He and his attorney left the station in a black Cadillac. icted for shooting The Michigan Daily-Friday, February 18, 1983-Page 9 USA Today to enter Detroit paper market The 18-member grand jury spent less than a week investigating the shooting of Nevell Johnson, 20, by Alvarez at a video game room Dec. 28. The shooting triggered a violent rampage in Overtown. Three days later, a second black man had been killed by police, 26 people were injured and more than a dozen businesses damaged or destroyed. ALVAREZ, WHO joined the Miami police force on July 31, 1981, has been suspended with pay since the shooting. City Manager Howard Gary said Alvarez and his rookie partner, Louis Criz, left their assigned patrol in a predominantly Latin neighborhood and went to the game room without official permission. Black leaders said yesterday they were "relieved" that Alvarez was in- dicted, speculating violence would have erupted anew if he had not been charged. "We are pleased that justice is now an its proper course," said Ray Fauntroy, leader of the Miami chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Con- ference. "There is no question that there would have been more violence if he wasigt indicted," he said. "If justice is denied, people react violently. That's the only way they think they can seek justice. That's what happened in December. (Continued from Page 1) "WE'RE CONTINUALLY trying to do more to improve the paper," Shine said. "If (USA Today) has a good in- novation - one that makes the paper more enjoyable to our readers - then we will use it." Despite the Free Press' changes, USA Today and Detroit News represen- tatives do not believe the national publication will have much effect on the Detroit circulation battle. "USA Today has proven to be a second buy in all its markets," said Henry Chamberlain, the paper's media relations assistant. "We haven't taken away from circulation in any of our markets. " "I don't consider it a threat," said William Giles, editor and vice- president of The Detroit News. "They don't cover one-tenth of what we do. . . They will get a lot of readers out of curiosity, but they have to hold them, and I think they will be successful only as a second paper, like a news magazine." USA Today's current national cir- culation is 531,000, but the newspaper's managers hope to reach 1.15 million readers by the end of the year. To achieve this, USA Today is running an exhaustive publicity campaign to at- tract a strong Detroit readership. "THEY'RE DOING a good campaign in Detroit, and they've got (distribution) boxes all around," Shine said. "I don't think it will have a major effect on the newspapers in Detroit, but the competition is stiff and no one wants to lose any ground." Chamberlain said he is not concerned about the competitive challenges the Detroit market presents for USA Today. "Detroit is a town that is news hungry," he said. "We doa good job of covering national news, sports and business, and we will be a good sup- plement to the two other papers. (Detroit) is a natural place for USA Today to be. Alvarez ... surrenders after indictment Draft law link to student aid spurs conflict (Continued from Page 1) repeal the original legislation, but each k faces a tough battle in Congress. Authors of those bills object to the administrative burden placed on college financial aid offices to im- plement the law. The sponsors also con- tend the draft law amendment discriminates against college men who need financial aid. "It turns colleges and banks into policemen, which we think is inap- propriate," said Rush Holt, a "spokesman for Rep. Robert Edgar (D- ; Penn.) the House bill's sponsor. "The amendment requires a person to prove he is a good citizen before .acquiring federal benefits. It is a presumption of guilt," Holt said. A third bill will be introduced Thur- sday to ask for a one-year delay in im- { plementing the law to give universities a chance to prepare for the additional paperwork. Congressional observers say this bill has a better chance than the other two, but all three face an uphill battle. But the key to the debate over registration and aid may lie a thousand miles from Capitol Hill, where a Min- nesota federal court soon will rule on the law's constitutionality. A suit filed last month by the Min- nesota Public Interest Research Group and the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union on behalf of six anonymous students charges that the draft law amendment discriminates, violates due process, and is self-incriminating. Officials in Ann Arbor say they are concerned with the administrative bur- den of implementing the law. The office will receive at least 20,000 financial aid applications for the 1983-84 school year and the additional paper- work to check if a student's registration will delay processing the forms, said Harvey Grotrian, financial aid direc- tor. If a student doesn't have his letter of certification from the Selective Ser- vice, he must sign an affidavit that is good for 120 days until the Selective Service sends him certification. That means the financial aid office will have to monitor an application for several months, Grotrain said, and no funds can be dispersed until there is proof of registration. Another problem is verifying if a student is exempt from registering, -Grotrian said. He cited the example of a student named Sandy White who could say he is female on his application but turns out to be male. The University could be liable if it gave aid to a student who -has misrepresented himself, the director said. The University's executive officers are still considering how to react to the bill and likely will bring it up for discussion with the Regents next week, Grotrian said. "If (the University) jumps too soon, we could regret it," said Robert Holmes, assistant vice president for academic affairs. "We want to ap- proach it in a careful and thoughtful way. We get so much money from the federal government that we would hate to see it put in jeopardy by an action that is rash." Some private schools, such as Yale University and Earlham College in Connecticut, announced that they would provide loans at market interest rates for students who were denied aid because they failed to register. Solomon's latest legislative proposal is a response to that move, Grotrian said. The University of Michigan will con- sider a similar program, he said, if there is no threat of losing federal fun- ds. Executive boards at some other schools have taken a firm stand on the issue. The University of Wisconsin adopted a resolution opposing the draft law amendment based on the inap- propriate administrative burden. The University of Minnesota and Macalester College filed Friend of the Court Briefs in the Minnesota suit. Minnesota's regents also passed a resolution that opposes the draft law amendment.

Newman also praised the program's realism, but said the series could not be absolutely realistic in all areas. Remembering some of his own humorous experiences in the war' Newman said, "In order to survive, they had to do outlandish things - some things that they can't show on TV." FOR INSTANCE, Newman said, during the winter soldiers had a com- petition every morning to see who could last the longest without going to the latrine: It was usually covered with ice, and once the first man warmed the seat, "long lines would form." Newman said the most important aspect of the television program is the universal experience which the charac- M*A* S *H ters encounter in a war situation. Thanks to Watkins, Petrick, Marcus, and Newman, Ann Arbor residents will be able to celebrate the ten years of MASH at the MASH BASH benefit to be held at the Track and Tennis Building tomorrow. THE VETERANS offered their input in creating a realistic MASH party to benefit the University Hospital. Proceeds from the party will go to the hospital's travel program for kidney patients. It will feature a MASH character look-alike contest and a video-tape of some highlights from the series. 1 UNIVERSITY FAMILY HOUSING APPLICATIONS ARE READY!
