4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, December 2, 1983 Senators talk as recalls continue LANSING (UPI) The Senate Democrats used their slim majority to push through a controversial legislative redistricting plan early yesterday, but hours later on apparent agreement to toil the bill in the House seemed to be unraveling. The Senate in a raucous and tense late-night session approved on a straight party line vote, 19-18, a measure to redraw district boundaries to give Democrats an advantage in the next election. Backers said the bill will result in 21 Democrats in the 38- member Seante and will also allow the party to solidify or increase its 63-47 margin in the House. HOWEVER, shortly before the final vote, House Speaker Gary Owen (D- Ypsilanti) flanked by House Republican Leader J. Michael Busch of Saginaw, said there had been an agreement reached to stall the bill in the lower chamber. Owen said the agreement turned on Republican pledges to oppose recalls. Owen said GOP legislative leaders had "agreed they will take an active stance against recalls." Owen said the House Democrats will push redistric- ting only if convinced "the Republican (party) leadership and the Republican legislative leadership have not done what they promised to do and that is oppose" recalls. The action on the redistricting plan was taken while Macomb County voters ousted Sen. David Serotkin (D. Mount Clemens) for supporting this year's temporary 38 percent income tax hike. He was the second Democratic senator ousted in little more than a week and the two recalls threaten Democratic control of the chamber. "THE DOMINO effect could very well happen," said Dan Powers, the 25- year-old organizer of the successful campaign to recall Serotkin, referring to speculation that success in ousting two lawmakers would fuel the 16 recall movements underway against others. Macomb County voters, by more than a 2-1 margin Wednesday, ousted the 44- year-old Mount Clemens attorney. The Board of State Canvassers Monday will meet to certify the final tally - 25,992 recall votes to 11,737 votes to keep him in office. Former state Rep. Kirby Holmes, a Utica Republican, has announced he will run for the seat and an election date for sometime in the next two months will be set soon. Serotkin defeated Holmes last fall. GOV. JAMES BLANCHARD, ob- viously disturbed at the loss of two democrats in the state Senate, con- ceded he "did not do a good enough job in explaining" the temporary 38 per- cent income tax increase that prompted the recall votes. Blanchard said he erred by not going to Pontiac, where voters recalled Sen. Phil Mastin Nov. 22, and to Mount Clemens, where Serotkin was ousted Wednesday, to tell voters why the tax hike was necessary. "We stayed out by request and by strategy," he said, explaining that some advisors felt a trip to the senators' districts before the recall elections might have done more harm than good. Now that both have been recalled, Blanchard admitted he fears the recall fever may get hotter in other districts where 16 other lawmakers were targeted for removal. And, because Republicans in Macomb County contributed to the campaign to recall Serotkin, Blanchard said members of his party may be con- sidering recalls of their own. ..,- n ~ - ..... ........ ... ... ... .... .... .... ....

"In the dorms it doesn't matter if you're a tendered athlete or a regular resident. All the rules are spelled out in the calendar (which contains the regulations and policies for University housing)," Clodfelder said. DECKER, WHO is attending the University on a full-scholarship, is not in danger of losing the scholarship because of the incident. "Once an athletic tender is issued, it cannot be revoked," said Pat Perry, the scholarship officer at the athletics of- fice. "The only way to revoke a scholarship is because of involvement with drugs. That is a Big 10 and a NCAA rule." The Wolverine coaching staff, on the road recruiting, could not be reached for comment. Correction University library officials keep- a record of which library materials are overdue, and the amount of fines owed on overdue books. A story in Wed- nesday's Daily reported that a com- puter breakdown made it impossible for library workers to keep track of the fines. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Druse judge murdered in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon - A man pretending to seek legal advice walked into the apartment of Lebanon's top Druse religious judge and assassinated him with a silencer-equipped pistol yesterday. The army, fearing revenge killings, clamped a curfew on Beirut and warned that citizens carrying arms would be shot. Druse gunners hammered Lebanese army positions south of Beirut after the assassination and snipers killed a French peacekeeping soldier near the line separating Moslem west and Christian east Beirut. But a truce held in Tripoli between loyalists and rebels in the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Druse judge, 60-year-old Sheik Halim Takieddine, was a political. moderate and was killed exactly one year after the Druse leader Walid Jumblatt and his wife were wounded in a car bombing just one block from Takieddine's west Beirut home. There was no claim of responsiblity for Takieddine's murder. But at a news conference in Damascus, Jumblatt blamed the killing on the Druse's rightist Christian rivals, whom he claimed were operating in west Beirut under the cover of Lebanese authorities. "He was killed by criminals belonging to fascist aangs," Jumblatt said. "We condemn the behavior of the Lebanese authorities, who are allowing the~ Phalangists to infiltrate into west Beirut and do whatever they like under the cover of legitimacy. Anti-Sandinistas ready to talk WASHINGTON - The leaders of five Nicaraguan rebel groups were reported yesterday to have told U.S. envoy Richard Stone that they will halt their guerrilla war if the leftist Sandinista government moves toward democratic reforms. A senior U.S. official, who spoke only on condition that he not be identified, said shortly after Stone concluded a series of meetings Wednesday night and yesterday morning in Panama City, Panama, that "the anti-Sandinista groups are prepared to open negotiations with the Sandinista government. "The main thing is they've all gotten together and they agreed that if they can get some significant steps on the part of the Nicaraguan government, they will stop the fighting," the official said. Because "all this is very new. . . very current," he said, it was uncertain how the message would be delivered to Sandinista authorities in Managua. The U.S. official said the rebels "are willing to suspend paramilitary ac- tivity in Nicaragua if the Sandinista government takes specific, credible steps to implement the democratic promises they made to the Organization of American States in 1979." Astronauts may get extra day SPACE CENTER, Houston - The Spacelab astronauts lit the night sky with electron beam firings yesterday and said they would welcome an extra day in orbit that project officials were considering giving them. Flight director Chuck Lewis said a decision would be made this weekend on extending the flight from nine days to 10 to squeeze as much as possible from the world's most ambitious international space science expedition. Scientists at mission control were wowed by the display produced by the firing of streams of electrons into space to learn more about the magnetic forces and electrically charged gases around Earth. The show, relayed to the ground by live television, looked like a celestial fireworks display. "Wow, that looks stupendous," said one scientist in the control room. King Hussein blames Syria for terrorist actions in Jordan AMMAN, Jordan - King Hussein blames Syria for a series of attacks on Jordanian diplomats and terrorism in Amman that has broken the calm prevailing in Jordan since the 1970 Black September offensive against the Palestinians. "The security situation has deteriorated. A climate of terror in the Middle East has spread throughout the area and come to downtownAmman," ob- served one Western diplomat recently. In Amman, three bombs were discovered in suspicious parcels. A booby trapped car near the British and U.S. embassies was found loaded with 90 pounds of TNT and two butane cylinders. Police with mounted machine guns patrol Amman's streets much more frequently now. People are searched and scrutinized during visits to gover- nment offices. Western diplomats are taking safety precautions of their own. "We have information that Syria wants to destabilize internal security in Jordan by recruiting certain elements for acts of violence and terrorism," Hussein said in a recent interview in a Kuwaiti newspaper. Gemayel optimistic after sununit WASHINGTON - Lebanese President Amin Gemayel concluded urgent talks with President Reagan yesterday by voicing hope of "dramatic movement toward stability, security and peace" in his ravaged, occupied country Gemayel and Reagan emerged from a round of White House meetings with little evidence of progress toward a long-sought breakthrough on how to remove all foreign forces from Lebanon and keep alive a budding national dialogue. "There is still a long way to go," Reagan said. "And Lebanon can count on our help." Gemayel, in a departure statement at the White House, said he and Reagan "found ourselves in full agreement" on the need for complete with- drawal, but provided not insight into how that goal will be accomplished.
