"It's not our University," Barnett explains, "It's a state university. The University is run by eight regents who are elected by the taxpayers of the state of Michigan and students have little in- fluence in the process." BARNETT, A computer engineering senior, is small with neatly cropped brown curly hair. His taste in clothes - consistent with his political leanings - is conservative. Apart from the Review, Barnett considers himself a Libertarian, an extreme end of conser- vatism that opposes all public taxes - including those which fund state schools. "Taxation is theft," he says. YET IN April, Barnett who grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, will be the fourth member of his family to graduate from the University, one of the country's largest tax-supported colleges. "I figure if my father is going to have to pay taxes, he may as well not be hit twice with a really high tuition at a private university," says Barnett. Barnett started college at Cornell University in New York, which is par- tially funded by the state, but he tran- sferred to the University in the middle of his sophomore year. ALTHOUGH Barnett worked at the Daily his junior year he quickly became discouraged with the paper's "boring" editorial policies. "The Daily is kind of a predictable liberal establishment (The. Opinion Page editors) never write about anything interesting. It's just kind of depressing to me," he says. Nearly every college across the nation, from Harvard to Stanford universities, has started a conservative newspaper, says Barnett. That trend reflects a gradual dying out of liberalism, adds LSA junior Gretchen Morris, head of the college Republicans. And the Review is a catalyst in the move towards conservatism. "There are alotrof closet Republicans - people who are afraid to say they are Republicans. The Review is one way that lets people know that there are more conservative students on campus. I think the Review has done a great job." Profile appears every Sunday. IN BRIEF Compiled from Aseleted Press and United Press Internetienel reports Factions clash in N. Ireland LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland -- Roman Catholic youths hurled gasoline fire bombs and gunmen shot at police and British troops guarding 2,300 protestants at a protest march yesterday, police reported. They said two policemen were wounded by the fire bombs and a third was hurt during clashes with Ithe demonstrators, but no one was injured when gunmen fired about a dozen shots at the security forces. About 2,300 members of the Protestant Apprentice Boys, the paramilitary' Ulster Defense Association and other groups marched to protest a British government decision allowing the Londonderry City Council to change its name to Derry City Council. The Protestants oppose the use of the name Derry, which the city was called before 1613 when Protestants settled in the area and renamed it after the British capital. The Catholic minority in the British province still use the old name for the city. Bomb ell s4ein, Arab nightclub LONDON - A bomb exploded and started a fire in an Arab nightclub early yesterday, injuring 23 people only minutes after a bomb blew up outside an Arab newspaper shop. Police blamed the attacks on Libyan terrorists. Following the blasts, bomb experts safely detonated three other bombs, one found across the street from the first blast site and the other two discovered next to an Arab newspaper store near Hyde Park, in Kensington. The bombings came a week after police privately warned Libyan ex- patriates that hit squads have been dispatched by Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy to kill opponents living abroad. A Libyan journalist and a Libyan lawyer both were assassinated in London in 1980. Police refused to say whether they believed the hit squads had planted the "professionally made" devices, each of which comprised 2 pounds of com- mercial explosive attached to timers. Study says child'poverty rising WASHINGTON - One out of five children and one out of two black children now live in poverty-stricken families in America, according to a study released yesterday by a House committee. The study, conducted by the Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, said the scope and speed of recent social and economic changes "are of a magnitude unprededented in our lifetime." It said the increase in poverty means that many of the hopes parents have for their children - better health, better training and a better standard of living - "will be weighed ever more carefully against their financial capacity to attain them." Two weeks ago, the Census Bureau reported that the share of Americans living below the official poverty level increased from 11.7 percent in 1979 to 15 percent in 1982. But that report said its figures did not take into account the increase in so-called non-cash benefits,.programs such as food stamps, school lunches, public housing, Medicaid, and Medicare. For 1982, when official calculations estimated that 34.4 million Americans lived in poverty, the level for a four-person family was set at $9,682 in annual income. The study from the Democrat-controlled committee said economic changes that have -eroded families' security include unemployment and changed priorities in the federal budget. The panel issued its findings after a year-long study. Polish students gather at shrine WARSAW, Poland - Young people from around Poland gathered yester- day at the shrine of the Black Madonna in a display of solidarity with the youths of Garwolin, who are protesting the removal of crucifixes from their high schools. A Roman Catholic bishop told an estimated 3,000 teen-age pilgrims at the shrine in Czestochow that the church is "disturbed' that Polish authorities havedeclareda "worsagainstthe-Cross'?r ...., -* A monastery spokesman said 25 groups from throughout the country conm verged unexpectedly on Czestochowa, site of the Black Madonna - the most revered shrine in this officially atheist but overwhelmingly Roman Catholic nation. Some students said they had scheduled the trip previously to celebrate their upcoming graduations. Nearly 700 of the youths traveled overnight from the towns of Mietno and Garwolin south of Warsaw, where high school students occupied one school and boycotted classes at three others last week. The removal of crosses from schools in and around Garwolin, 40 miles south of Warsaw, has led to the most significant unrest in Poland since the government declared martial law in December 1981 and suspended the in- dependent Solidarity labor federation. Bombs destroy French plane PARIS - Two bombs planted in the luggage compartment tore through a French passenger jet with 100 people aboard yesterday during a stopover at the Ndjamena airport in Chad, injuring 25 people, officials said. Witnesses and Chadian diplomats said the Union des Transports Ariens (UTA) DC-8 was destroyed by the second bomb, which exploded 20 minutes after the first and after passengers escaped from the burning plane by sliding down emergenicy chutes. No group immediately claimed responsiblity, but a French foreign ministy offical called the bombing an "attack" and indicated it was linked to France's military presence in Chad to combat Libyan-backed rebels. Chad's ambassador to France Allam Mi Ahmad accused Libya of carrying out the bombings. A UTA spokeman said all the injured passengers were French, and the airline and airport personnel were French and Chadian nationals. The official said the casuality toll ,would have been much higher if the Lane's engines were running at the time of the first explosion.

George Deukmejian is close to deciding whether to sign a landmark bill that would outlaw job discrimination against homosexuals. Backers say the bill is a civil rights issue, while op- ponents say it would "impose a San Francisco lifestyle" on California. THE SAN FRANCISCO homosexual community, meanwhile, is mapping strategy for a "strong, visible presence" when the Democratic National Convention opens in July. The Sacramento bill, culmination of a nine-year battle, won final legislative passage March 1 with one vote to spare, triggering the most intensive lobbying Deukmejian has faced since he became governor 14 months ago. He has until midnight Wednesday to decide whether to sign the bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature. THE REPUBLICAN governor has given no clue to his decision, and foes and backers of the measure have pushed their lobbying efforts to the limit. On one side are conservative Republicans, led by Richardson, of the Los Angeles suburb of Glendora, and a coalition of fundamentalist religious leaders known as the Committee for Moral Concern, which warns that the measure would "impose a San Fran- cisco lifestyle" on the entire state. On the other side are the large, politically active gay communities of San Francisco and Los Angeles, civil liberties organizations and most liberal Democrats. MEANWHILE, the politics of "gay power" - which has made the homosexual voting block a force in city elections - will be practiced both on the streets and in Convention Hall, says Harry Britt, a member of San Francisco's law-making Board of Supervisors. "Politically, we are the leading group in San Fran- cisco," Britt said of the homosexual community, estimated at as much as one-fourth of the city's 700,000 population. "We're going to have a strong, visible presence when the Democrats come to town." A massive march is planned for the eve of the con- vention, which runs from July 16-20. "The march will be directed at the Reagan ad- ministration, not against the Democratic Party," said Britt. Graduation nightmare can be avoided (Continued from Page 1) To avoid the crowds that typically pack the Cellar as the March deadline draws near, students can order their caps and gown by mail, Byas said. Yellow, mail-order forms are available in University department offices and at the Cellar. Students in the College of Engineering and the School of Natural Resources must go through a different process to graduate. ENGINEERING students only have to file one diploma application to kick off the graduation process, said Elaine Harden, a senior alumni officer in the College of Engineering. Once that form is filed, it is a counselor's respon- sibility to make sure a student has completed the college requirements, she said. Unlike their LSA counterparts, engineering students rarely file diploma applications late, Harden said. "This is something that is very impor- tant to their academic future so they get (the form) in on time," she said. Natural Resources students are audited twice each year and only need to submit a diploma application for a final audit, said Sheryl Wenskay, a Natural Resources auditor.
