I Page 2 - The Michigan Daily-- Saturday, January 28, 1984 Florida fraud scheme hits Texas IN BRIEF Parents of some University of Texas §Iudents will get a check from a Florida company that collected money in an alleged mail fraud scheme. University officials released the names and addresses of 10,000 students last November to the L.A. deMon- tmollin company in Miami. The com- pany then sent handwritten letters to the students' parents asking them to buy a birthday gift from a company brochure for a surprise party for their son or daughter. The letter writer posed as a "close friend" of the student, writing from COLLEGEUS Miami because of a family emergency, jd asked theparents to send money directly to the company. The Postal Inspection service in Miami has received at least 30 com- plaints about the company, but postal gfficials say the company has already closed down and has agreed to return aIl of the money earned through the let- Tntern.o The federal government has not filed charges against the company, but the case is still under investigation. -The Daily Texan MSU greeks may restrict partiers It's going to be tougher to crash fraternity and sorority parties at Michigan State University, where campus greeks recently received new identification cards. Dan Pilling, president of MSU's In- terfraternity Council, said partygoers may be required to show their iden- tification cards at the entrance to some fraternity and sorority bashes. The cards were issued last week to "unite the members" of the three cam- pus greek organizations, and to identify fraternity and sorority members who want to get discounts from local mer- chants. But the cards will also be used to keep out uninvited guests since fraternity members say party crashers contribute to theft and vandalism in the .greek houses and don't pay for the alcohol they drink. House members will not be required to check cards at parties, and can issue guest passes for friends of fraternity and sorority members. - The State News Indiana raid backfires Some Indiana University students found out last week that alcohol and shaving cream don't mix. Sophomores Tom Ohlwein and Mark Cassidy were expelled from Indiana's Briscoe Quad dormitory and a third was prohibited from returning next year, after a . party and subsequent shaving cream raid on a neighboring women's hall got out of hand. Women from the dorm's sixth floor began an attack Dec. 9 on the men living one floor below, according to dorm officials. But the raiders were met in the stairwell by the fifth floor residents, who chased the women back upstairs and covered the area with shaving cream, confetti, and shredded paper. "Our floor got trashed," said Sophomore Joni Roberts, who was reprimanded by housing officials ad- ministraters in hearings last week that involved 30 students. Cassidy, who was kicked out for possession of alcohol, said he believed he was expelled because the incident involved the entire floor, and said that he thought he would not have been kicked out of his individual record had been considered. "Here I am, this is my first screw-up. I admit, it's a major one," Cassidy said. "I just want to go back to being a productive resident (at the Univer- sity)." -The Indiana Daily Student OSU checks found Ohio State University police have recovered a white canvas bag con- taining $150,000 in cash and student tuition checks stolen from the univer- sity's Office of Fees and Deposits early last week. An unidentified OSU student found the money bag near campus on the side of a road two days after the daylight robbery January 11. Police are still searching for the suspect in the case, who simply walked up to a teller and demanded the money bag. More than $135,000 in winter quarter checks were stolen, along with ap- proximately $15,000 in cash. If the checks had not been found, the 550 students whose checks were stolen would have been asked to repay their winter fees. -The Lantern Colleges appears every Saturday. Britain, Italy to stay in Lebanon From the Associated Press Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher +of Britain and Premier Bettino Craxi of Italy yesterday reaffirmed their na tions'resolve to stay in the Pmultinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, but they also suggested a greater U.N. role in Lebanon. "Both of us see the possibility of an ex- Lpanded U.N. role in Lebanon," That- cher told a news conference. "But in the meantime we are there and do not intend to pull out and leave a vacuum in that country. "WE BELIEVE that we must all act together in any action that is taken there," she added. Craxi is hosting Thatcher during a two-day summit conference in Rome. Italy, Britain, the United States and France have troops in the multinational force, which was intended to promote a cease-fire among the warring factions. Italy yesterday finished reducing the size of its contingent in Beirut from 2,100 men to about 1,400 troops. The United Nations has a small force in southern Lebanon. DESPITE considerable pressure to bring the troops home, Craxi said the countries would not take such action on their own. "Now is the time to step up political and diplomatic efforts to clarify the positions of all those involved," Craxi said. He also suggested a greater U.N. role. A TOP Lebanese official, meanwhile, said his government would not throw out its troop withdrawal agreement with Israel unless Syria first promises to pull its estimated 30,000 troops from Lebanon. "Syria has not commited itself to withdraw even if the May 17 agreement is abrogated," the official said, "and unless we know what Syria's position will be without the May 17 agreement, we're not going to abrogate it." tI . iP FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 1432 Washtenaw Ave., 662-4466 (between S.

Thatcher ... refuses to withdraw troops Democrats to stress Reagan's unful-fill-ed promises WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Democrats released a report yesterday charging that President Reagan has broken about half his 1980 campaign promises and said they will send "truth squads" to trail him around the country. . "Americans cannot trust Ronald Reagan," declared Rep. Tony Coelho (D-Calif.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. COELHO issued a 100-page progress report on the adminstration two days before Reagan goes on television Sun- day night to announce his plans for the 1984 election.. Coelho said the "truth squads" will be made up of Democratic members of Congress and of previous admin- istrations. They will "set the stage" for his campaign visits and "correct the record' he said. To prove his point, Coelho played videotape excerpts of Reagan making promises in 1980 speeches that the Democrats hope will haunt him. The excerpts will be used in TV campaign ads broadcast around the country. CHIEF among their criticisms will be the $180 billion federal deficit. Coelho played an excerpt of Reagan saying he would balance the budget by 1983 des- pite his military buildup and three years of personal income tax cuts. The Democrats also have targeted what they call the "fairness issue," their charge is that Reagan's policies have not left enough money to spend on education for children, health care for the elderly, jobs for the unemployed or price supports for farmers. Coelho said he plans to capitalize on the "fear factor," concerns of Americans that the nation may be closer to war despite Reagan's assert-" ion that he has made the world safer. "He had to crawl over sandbags to get out of the White House," said Coelho, referring to cement blockades now used to increase security in the Compi.e. from Associated Press and United Press International reports Salvadorans slay U.S. woman SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - The U.S. Embassy and the Defense Ministry sought more details yesterday on the slaying of an American woman on a Salvadoran highway, but an embassy spokesman said he believed rebels were responsible. U.S. and Salvadoran sources said Linda Louise Cancel was killed Thur- sday by gunmen - apparently guerrillas - who fired at her family's vehicle on the Pan-American Highway. They said the shots were fired when her common-law husband, Curtis Hendersen Lewenz, ran a rebel roadblock. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said Cancel, 23, of Culver City, Calif., died shortly after being shot in the right side. She was, pronounced dead at El Amatillo, 23 miles from the site of the shooting, by a priest who arrived to give her last rites. The spokesman, Gregory Lagana, said that since last year the State Department has been warning Americans it is dangerous to travel in El Salvador, especially in eastern regions where guerrillas have strongholds. Lagana said he was "pretty sure" rebels had killed Ms. Cancel. The ver- sion was confirmed by military spokesmen and the priest who was the first to report her death. Guatenala quases coup attempt GUATEMALA CITY - Guatemala's military government quashed a coup plot by retired generals who hired an assassin in Miami to kill chief of state Gen. Oscar Humberto Mejia in a bid to seize power,, a top security officer said yesterday. The top-ranking security official said the generals, who were forced to retire by a recently passed military law, met in mid-January in a Ft.. Lauderdale, Fla., hotel to plan the overthrow. The official, who asked not to be identified, said they withdrew money from their Miami bank accounts to hire a killer and bribe top commanders of the armed forces to join the plot. U.S. seeks Japanese tariffs cut WASHINGTON - Japanese Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe, seeking to' bolster "the most important bilateral relationship in the world," conferred yesterday with President Reagan in a bid to resolve nagging trade and economic frictions between their countries. "It is important to have frank exchanges of views on these matters," Abe told reporters outside the White House after he met with Reagan for 20 minutes and delivered a letter from Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. Japanese and U.S. diplomats say they are seeking quick progress on as many troublesome points as possible to keep trade differences between Tokyo and Washington from becoming a "political football" in the American presidential campaign. U.S. officials make clear they expect Japanese cooperation to reduce such barriers, thus demonstrating "that the free trade system works well in both directions." Mondale's tax plan hits wealthy WASHINGTON - Barraged with charges of excessive promises and con- tinuing vagueness, former Vice President Walter Mondale laid out his plans yesterday for tax increases that would generate up to $60 billion in new revenue within four years. The Democratic presidential hopeful's plans would hit the wealthy the hardest, chopping the third year of.President Reagan's tax cut and slapping a 10 percent surcharge on the incomes above $100,000. Yesterday, Mondale's campaign office issued a fact sheet putting some numbers with the promises, particularly the tax proposals. Families making more than $60,000 a year would face a tax increase in 1985 because Mondale would cap the tax break from the third year of Reagan's tax cut. Mondale gave no specifics about the level of the cap, other than to say it would generate up to $6 billion. Mondale would hit the top income bracket - those making over $100,000 a year - with a 10 percent surcharge to rake in about $5 billion. Glen - No. 2 in many polls to Mondale - has been calling for a 10 percent, across-the- board surcharge to cut the deficit. Corporations would be hit with a new 15 percent minimum tax, along with other changes to raise $21 billion. Mondale said "a tough compliance program" aimed at tax cheaters would raise $10 billion in new revenues. Unions settled for less in '83 WASHINGTON - The 3 million workers whose wages were negotiated by unions in 1983 accepted contracts limiting pay raises to an average 2.8 per- cent over the next two or three years, making them the lowest settlements on record, the government said yesterday. In the first year of the new contracts signed by unions and management, the average pay boost was 2.6 percent, the most austere in the 16 years the Bureau of Labor Statistics ha kept those records. The pattern of shrinking wage increases that has characterized collective bargaining settlements for two years continued in 1983, even though the economy was recovering from a deep, 18-month recession. The average annual first-year increase of 2.6 percent reported for last year was well below the 3.8 percent annual rate of inflation in 1983. However, about two-thirds of the 3 million union members achieved labor settlements that will improve their paychecks in the final one or two years of the contracts, the report said. In 1982, by comparison, average first-year wage settlements in collective bargaining agreements totaled 3.8 percent. Robert Ortner, chief Commerce Department economist, said "we went through a couple of years of wage austerity, and this year will shift toward wage moderation." 1J Saturday, January 28, 1984 Vol. XCIV-No. 98 (ISSN 0745-967X) The Michigan°Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
