I Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 27, 1984 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. JAMES STEWART-KIM NOVAK IN ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S ~VERTI GD3' Voter registration Sdriveunew By CLAUDIA GREEN fi1 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. Politicians encourage voting Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports 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. ~1 (Continued from Page 1) Holding a pen in her hand while she spoke, Pollack rattled off a stream of FRI., MON., TUES., THURS.

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. Attention: GRAD STUDENTS Celebrate contract ratification!
