4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Saturday, March 10, 1984 Prof. ired over sex charges Michigan State University's former band director has lost his teaching job at the University of South Florida, because of allegations of sexual harassment while he taught in East Lansing. South Florida officials said Stanley DeRusha will only do research until his CO LLEGES' contract runs out in August, because the MSU charges have not been "resolved." John Brown, president of South Florida, said the decision was made af- ter seeing court documents from Michigan including charges that DeRusha pulled a student into his office and forced her to perform oral sex. The documents also included letters from other women alleging that DeRusha fondled them and made unwanted ad- Jackson ballot suit dismissed by judge LANSING-(UPI) - Ingham County circuit Judge Carolyn Stell yesterday dismissed a suit seeking to force a secret ballot in next week's Democratic caucuses. The ruling came in a suit filed against Secretary of State Richard Austin by activist Zolton Ferency, a supporter of Jesse Jackson. EARLIER IN the day, Jackson's campaign organization filed suit in U.S. District Court in Detroit challenging the caucuses. Jackson supporters - say the open ballot and other caucus rules favor Walter Mondale, the candidate endor- sed by most of Michigan's Democratic Party and union leaders. In dismissing Ferency's complaint, Stell said the caucuses "are not elections for purposes of Michigan elec- tion laws and constitutional provisions regarding notice and a secret ballot." Ferency said he plans to appeal, even though time is running short. "If her ruling is correct the Democratic Party can run those caucuses any which way they please and no one can get any relief from any governmental agency," he said.I Sam Riddle of Flint, Jackson's Michigan campaign strategist, said at- torneys in the Detroit action want an in- junction prohibiting the March 17 statewide caucuses from taking place unless major changes are made. The case was assigned to Judge Anna Diggs-Taylor, who scheduled a hearing for 9 a.m. on March 16 - the day before1 the caucuses. vances. DeRusha, who declined comment on the decision, has maintained that the allegations are false. DeRusha resigned from MSU just before a panel investigating the charges recommended last December that the University fire him from his $36,000 post. He has filed a $3 million lawsuit against MSU charging that the school had agreed to keep the in- vestigation confidential. The MSU panel reported finding 14 instances of sexual harassment. At South Florida, the music professor has won the support of many students and faculty members, who hissed and booed when provost Greg O'Brien an- nounced the school's decision Thur- sday. - UPI Case dismissed for Yale protesters A Connecticut Superior Court last week dismissed charges against 10 Yale University students who had been arrested in a protest against the Trident missile. The students had been charged with "a breach of the peace" after the February protest, for lying in front of buses carrying people to a Navy celebration of its new Trident sub- marine, the USS Georgia. The 16-member Trident Action Group is "pledged to non-violence." - The Yale Daily News Stalking research in Iowa It's nothing new to Ann Arbor, but a fight over defense research is now brewing in the unlikely spot of the University of Iowa. The Student Senate commitee has demanded information about what type of DoD sponsored research is being performed on cam- pus. The committee has asked for the ij formation by the first of April, but its attorney, Duane Rohovit is not too op- timistic. "A bureaucracy will fill up as much time as there is given to it," he said. "All we are trying to do is set a time to bring all of this waiting to an end." Julia Mears, an administrative assistant at the university said the school isn't trying to stall, but can't release the information until its resear- ch council approves changes in the operations manual. "I realize the students are interested in getting the information they want," she said. "They have been very in- sistent about that, but I don't think they have been unreasonable." - The Daily Iowan - Compiled by Robert Schwartz Colleges appears every Saturday _______________________________ I IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Jobless rate drops in February WASHINGTON - Civilian unemployment receded to 7.8 percent and 700,000 Americans found jobs in February, the government reported yester- day. President Reagan's chief spokesman called it "a remarkable trend" spurred by the economic recovery. The jobless rate has fallen two-tenths of a percentage point in each of the past three months to a level only fractionally higher than the 7.4 percent rate of January 1981, when Reagan took office. The February rate is the lowest in 2/ years. Since unemployment hit a post-Depression peak of 10.7 percent in Novem- ber 1982, with more than 12 million people out of work, the rate has plunged nearly 3 percentage points - the best post-recession recovery in the labor market since the early 1950s. An estimated 103.9 million Americans - the most in history - held jobs last month. Deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said "these em- ployment figures demonstrate the underlying strength of the economy." Martin Feldstein, chariman of the president's Council of Economic Ad- visers, called the Labor Department report "verygood news." He said "it shows the economy has had substantial strength in February as well as January and should have a quite strong first quarter." El Salvador expends U.S. aid One of the Salvadoran army's top battle commanders said yesterday his soldiers have killed 60 rebels and wounded 43 others in a week of fighting in the key eastern province of San Miguel. But a U.S. military adviser, echoing comments made by the Reagan ad- ministration Thursday, warned yesterday that El Salvador has used up all its American military aid for 1984 and could soon face shortages in certain supplies. In Honduras, Assistant Secretary of Defense William Taft denied statements made by visiting U.S. congressmen that the United States plans to establish a permanent military base on Honduran soil. Honduran Foreign Minister Edgar Paz Barnica, asked about reports that Nicaragua was mobilizing troops and tanks toward the border, said he could not confirm it, but vowed Honduras would not mobilize even if the reports were true. Greece reconsiders Turkish warship attack as unintentional ATHENS, Greece - The government yesterday accused Turkey of at- tacking Greek ships in "its worst provocation" in a decade, then abruptly announced that it believed Turkey did not intentionally fire'on the vessels. After a 15-minute meeting yesterday evening with Turkish Ambassador { Fahir Alacam, Deputy Foreign Minister Yiannis Kapsis told reporters, "We've decided there was no intention on the part of the Turkish gover- nment to provoke such a dangerous episode." He said Greece had reversed an earlier decision to recall Ambassador Sotiris Constantopoulos from Ankara after Thursday's incident near the nor- thern Greek island of Samothrace. Greece had claimed a squadron'of Turkish destroyers on maneuvers in the Gulf of Saros near the Dardanelles fired three salvos into Greek territorial waters, narrowly missing the Greek destroyer Panther and a Greek fishing fleet. "New explanations given. to our ambassador today by Foreign Under- secretary Ercument Yavuzalp were substantially different from those rejected yesterday," Kapsis said. He said the Turkish official explained that his country's warships were firing anti-aircraft shells that exploded in the air "and posed no danger for surface vessels." EPA changes pollution regulators WASHINGTON - The EPA announced yesterday a basic change in the system of regulating airborne soot and dust pollution to emphasize the tiny particles that are linked to respiratory ailments afflicting millions of Americans. More than 100 million tons of soot and dust get-into the atmosphere each 4 year in the United States. The smaller particles that are the focus of the new regulatory scheme are mostly man-made and come from coal-burning power plants and industries, automobile emissions and other industrial processes. When the particles are inhaled they can aggravate heart problems and such illnesses as bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. The airborne material also can damage lung tissues and cause cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the new plan will involve as much as $4.4 billion in capital costs for new equipment and controls, as well as annual costs of $740 million. Student testifies in rape trial 4 MASON - The alleged victim of a gang rape at Michigan State University testified yesterday that she felt "scared" and intimaded during her ordeal. The 19-year-old woman seemed relatively calm during much of her testimony in Ingham County Circuit Court, but cried when she left the cour- troom for a recess following about two hours on the stand. Seven young men are facing charges of third-degree criminal sexual con- duct in the highly publicized November, 1982 incident. More serious charges were dismissed in a controversial ruling by an East: Lansing district judge. A key factor in that ruling was his conclusion that the woman, a 17-year-old MSU freshman at the time of the incident, had not resisted or tried to escape. 4 An Ingham County Circuit Court judge last fall ordered the men tried on reduced charges.

Study links smoking to ulcerative colitis LONDON (AP) - Despite the known health hazards of cigarette smoking, non-smokers are six times more likely than smokers to get ulcerative colitis, a disease that causes chronic diarrhea, British doctors said yesterday. Writing in the British Medical Journal doctors at Queen's Medical Center in Nottingham said their research suggests that for unknown reasons, "smoking directly or indirectly confers protection against ulcerative colitis." However, Dr. Richard Logan, an epidemiologist who headed the resear- ch, said in an interview that the medical risks linked to cigarette smoking, including lung cancer and heart disease, far outweigh any possible benefits found by the study. Ulcerative colitis, a treatable in- flammation of the colon and rectum, af- fects about one in every 1,000 people and is more common among young adults. It is usually not fatal, but causes chronic and bloody diarrhea and inter- feres with proper bowel function. The researchers said non-smokers were 6.2 times more likely than smokers to have ulcerative colitis. Controversial Q~rnrb or~pp ~eructapoll ranks FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 120 S.

Gourman also ranked the Univer- sity's communications department third in the country, but said the University's rankings for both education and communications will fall in his next report. He ranked the University's ad- ministration eighth in his report, behind such institutions as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. University President Harold Shapiro is "an ex- cellent administrator," Gourman said, earning 8.75 on a 10 point scale. Gour- man's national average for ad- ministrators is 2.5 to 2.75. MUCH OF THE criticism of the Gourman report stems from his refusal to say how he arrives at his rankings. Gourman says he has a staff of "50 top experts in the country" gathering in- formation for his National Education Standards Company, making them "the leaders in the field of rating un- dergraduate institutions."
