Campus Inn
IN BRIEF
guests
evacuated
By GEORGEA KOVANIS
About 200 guests were evacuated from
the Campus Inn and moved to other city
hotels last night when a boiler
overheated, Ann Arbor Fire Depar-
tnent officials said.
Six trucks responded to a call at
about 7:45 p.m. last night when a
smokey smell was detected by people
inside the hotel on the corner of E.
Huron and State.
ACCORDING to one Campus Inn em-
ployee, the smoke filtered into the hotel
dining room. The employee said the
diners didn't panic.r
However, some people inside the
hotel at the time of the incident said
they didn't hear a smoke alarm or fire
bell. One guest said a knock on his hotel
room door alerted him to the situation.
When he answered his door, he said no
one was there. The guest said he then
called the front aesk, let the phone ring
for about five minutes before someone
answered and told him to leave the
building
Murphy said alarms were pulled
manually by fire department officials
after they arrived at the scene. Murphy
would not comment further on the
alarm situation.
Some guests, however, didn't seem to
mind the inconvenience caused by the
incident. "As long as they don't put me
somewhere I can't walk to, I'll be fine,"
said the guest.
Guests were given the choice of
where they wanted to spend the night.
Some were relocated to the Briarwood
Hilton and others moved to the Ann Ar-
bor Inn on Fourth Ave. The guests will
receive refunds.
According to Murphy, the incident is
under investigation by the city's
Building and Housing Department and
the Fire Prevention Bureau.

Voter registration
Sdriveunew
By CLAUDIA GREEN

The Michigan Student Assembly,
aided by several other. campus groups,
launched an intensive 10-day campaign
Wednesday to register students to vote
in Ann Arbor.
MSA, working in conjunction with the
Public Interst Research Group in
Michigan (PIRGIM), the College
Democrats, and members of three
Democratic presidential candidate
campaigns, hopes to register at least
750 students during the 10-day effort,
said MSA member Julie Anbender.
ANBENDER, who is coordinating the
drive, said the groups will encourage
and assist students in dormitory dinner
lines as well as in MLB and the fish-
bowl.
"I think that students, because they
are in that transition stage, don't-
necessarily think they can have an im-
pact on government," said Amy
Gibans, local PIRGIM coordinator.
"We want to show them that they do."
The group plans to increase its efforts
to register students following the
national PIRGIM conference on voter
registration in February.
GIBANS SAID PIRGIM hopes to
register 2,000 students by the April city
elections, and an additional 3,000 before
the state and national elections in
November.
After registering 40 students yester-
day during the dinner hour at Alice
Lloyd Hall, LSA freshperson Micky
Feusse said, "It went really well; I ran
out of slips, so I'm going back on
Tuesday."
The University's School of Social Work
will also take part in the campaign with
its Voter Participation Project, aimed
primarily at low-income and minority
residents in Ann Arbor. The school will
sponsor a workshop on Feb. 4 exploring
new strategies on voter participation
- and political change.
Ten restaurants in town also are con-
tributing to the efforts to increase the
student role in politics by offerirng
discounts and free items to anyone
registered to vote in Ann Arbor.

U.S woman shot in El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-An American woman traveling with he,
family along the Pan-American Highway in eastern El Salvador was shot to
death yesterday, said a Roman Catholic priest who administered the last
rites.
The priest, who asked not to be named, said people believed to be leftist
guerrillas fired on the vehicle carrying the woman, her husband and several
children between El Divisadero and Santa Rosa de Lima, about 127 miles
east of San Salvador.
"According to a Salvadoran official, someone missed a roadblock near
Santa Rosa de Lima, Soldiers opened fire and one U.S. citizen was killed,"
U.S. Embassy spokesman Donald Hamilton said.
Civilians in Santa Rosa de Lima said they had no information on the death,
but said heavy fighti ig occurred yesterday between leftist guerrillas and
government troops on the Military Route Highway outside the city.
Mondale outpolls contenders,
wins 75 convention delegates
WASHINGTON-Front-runner Walter Mondale outpolled seven campaign
rivals combined yesterday, winning 75 Democratic National Convention
delegates out of a 164-member slate picked by House Democrats.
"This is a spectacular beginning and we're confident he's going to go all
the way," Mondale aide Richard Moe said after the party's leadership
finished picking the final 54 delegates.
"For the first delegate selection process of the season we could not be
more pleased."
Mondale far outdistanced second-place finisher John Glenn, who won 17
delegates in the unofficial count.
Sen. Alan Cranston had 11 delegates, followed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson's
seven, all black House members.
Sen. Gary Hart trailed with five delegates, while former Florida Gov.
Reubin Askew had four and Sen. Ernest Hollings had three.
There were 42 uncommitted delegates selected, and the eighth contender,
former Sen. George McGovern, was shut out.
Civil war reopened in Chad
PARIS - The downing of a French jet in Chad and an attack on a govi'-
nment post have reopened the civil war that has been stalemated since the
French intervention last summer.
France blamed Libya for the loss of the plane and pilot in Wednesday's at-
tack. But Libya, which supports the rebels of former Chad President'
Goukouni Oueddei, said the attack was carried out by Goukouni's forces and
warned against intervention by "foreign parties."
An, armored column from northern rebel-held territory crossed irto
government-held territory Wednesday, shot down a French Jaguar fighter=
jet and its pilot, and hit a Mirage Fl fighter, the French government said.
The pilot was the first French fatality since French forces entered on the
government side Aug. 9.
In N'Djamena, Chad's Information Minister Mahamat Soumalia said the
attack on the government garrison at Zigueye was carried out by a "large
Libyan column."
AT&T reports largest loss ever
NEW YORK-American Telephone & Telegraph Co. closed its books on the
Bell System yesteray by reporting a $4.87 billion loss in the final three mon-
ths of 1983, the biggest quarterly loss in U.S. business history.
The loss-which has been expected-was more than four times the
previous record, the $1.15 billion loss reported in the fourth quarter of 1982 by
Bethlehem Steel Corp.
Wall Street took the news calmly, although AT&T stock fell in active
trading.
AT&T attributed the loss to an extraordinary charge of $5.5 billion against
earnings, reflecting accounting changes and a shrinking of the company's
assets resulting from AT&T's divestiture of its regional telephone com-
panies and its new status as a non-regulated competitive business.
AT&T Chairman Charles Brown repeated earlierstatements that the
company's ability to pay dividends, meet its bills or invest in its new in-
terests would not be impaired by the fourth-quarter loss.
Operating profit fell 58 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier,
with that decline attributed in large part to other expenses associated with
preparations for the largest corporate reorganization in U.S. history.
For all of 1983, AT&T's net earnings totaled $248.7 million, or 13 cents a
share, against net earnings in 1982 of $7.28 billion, or $8.40 a share. Revenue
climbed to $69.4 billion from $65.1 billion in 1982.
Fla. execution sparks criticism
STARKE, Fla.-Critics of Florida's multiple executions accuse Gov. Bob
Graham of exploiting capital punishment for political gain, but supporters
praise his tough stand against crime.
The electrocution yesterday of Anthony Antone for arranging the murder
of a private eye was the third in the Sunshine State since the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled in 1976 that executions could resume.
Florida is the only state to have executed more than one man since then.
The state was also the first to execute a killer against his will-John
Spenkelink on May 25, 1979, for slaying a traveling companion.
With Antone's execution, Florida also became the first state to put a con-
vict to death for a killing he didn't carry out himself. Antone, 66, had been
found guilty of acting as a middleman in the gangland slaying of a former
vice squad detective.
Twelve men have been executed in the United States since revival of the
death penalty. Fast-growing Florida, with its transient population and tough
crime laws, has the country's largest death row with 210 inmates-about
one-sixth of the 1,200-plus prisoners awaiting execution across the nation.

Holding a pen in her hand while she
spoke, Pollack rattled off a stream of
FRI., MON., TUES., THURS. AT 7:10 and 9:25 figures to point out that not enough
state tax dollars are going towards
SAT., SUN., WED. AT 1:25, 4:00, 7:10 and 9:25 higher education.
t . CURRENTLY, the maximum
amount of financial aid a student atten-
ding a public university can receive is
$940, compared to $1,704 available to
students at private schools.
She says a steady tax increase would
remedy the problem by channelling
more funds to higher education and

welfare. Although Pollack voted to roll
back taxes in 1984, she said that if the
state's economy continues to decline,
Blanchard's planned increases to
welfare will backfire.
Bullard who wore a Mondale button
on his lapel, urged students- to become
active in the presidential election. The
addresses were sponsored by the
Michigan Student Assembly and the
College of Democrats.
"You all here are the potential vital
margin of difference," Bullard told
students. "We must unify behind a can-
didate as quickly as possible. It is a
winnable election (for Democrats).."
Bullard's main goal for the 1984
presidential election is to get President
Reagan out of the White House. Reagan
is leading the country into a war in Cen-
tral America, Bullard said.
"If we have a war. . . it will be all of
you here that will be the cannon fodder."

Corrections
Wednesday at Campus Meet the
Press, Housing Director Robert Hughes
said his office would attempt to hold
next year's housing fees to near the in-
flation rate for next year. A story in
yesterday's Daily incorrectly reported
that he would recommend a 3.9 percent
increase.
Also at Meet the Press,. Associate
Housing Director John Heidke said the
University does not use the fire alarms
to evacuate buildings during a bomb
threat. The story stated that the alarms
are used in some bomb threat cases.
Heidke said the University's goals
with the new alcohol policy are not con-
cerned with how much students drink.
A typographical error made the story
read that the University was concerned
with the amount students drink.
Another story in yesterday's Daily
should have said that the state attorney
general would oppose in court the
University's challenge to a law
requiring it to divest of stocks in com-
panies operating in South Africa.
Yesterday's story stated that the attor-
ney general would approve and rule on the
challenge.
