Vol XCIV-No. 140 Copyright 1984, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Tuesday, March 27, 1984 Fifteen Cents Ten Pages Police break Tarple up brawl at Taco Bell By SUE BARTO Ann Arbor police officials broke up a fight between more than 20 persons, most of them students, at the Taco Bell restaurant on East University Street early Saturday morning. The fight may have resulted from racial ten- sions, according to several restaurant employees. No one was arrested in the incident which started after a white male University student threw *a half-eaten burrito at a black male standing at the counter, said a Witness who asked not to be identified. THE TWO men began arguing and shouting racial in- sults while friends of the men tried unsuccessfully to restrain them, the witness said. "It immediately occured to us that this would be a racial fight," the man said. "It was made clear "(through the shouting) that the burrito was thrown because he was black." Police arrived at the restaurant at 3:18 a.m. after the parties had already left the restaurant, said Ann Arbor. Police Sgt. Harold Tinsey. The officers classified the in- cident as a "food fight" because "no one wished to sign a omplaint," Tinsey said. SATURDAY morning's incident is part of a recent in- crease in violence by students who flock to the restaurant after local bars close on weekends, said a Taco Bell manager who agreed to talk under the condition that his name wouldn't be used. "Everyone (in the restaurant) after 10 p.m. can be con- sidered dangerous," he said.

"We wanted to hit Bobby (Beecher) on the high post," he explained. "If Bobby had the shot, he had the green light to take it. If not, (he was to) pop it out to the guard who would try to press the ball inside, preferably to Perry Young. I thought Perry set a good screen, made a good pivot, and I thought he had his men beat. Tim did not see him and he took a shot." By JEFF BERGIDA Special to the Daily NEW YORK - The experts say that Michian is a front-running team. They all know that the Wolverines can't make a last-minute comeback. They also say that when Eric Turner plays poorly Michigan loses. LAST NIGHT'S 78-75 Wolverine victory at Madison Square Garden over a formidable Virginia- Tech squad proved the experts wrong. It also put Bill Frieder's team in the NIT finals with a 22-10 record. The Hokies possessed a 75-74 lead and the ball with 1:09 remaining when Roy Tarpley, who led Michigan with 23 points fouled VYU's Perry Young, who was going up for an easy lay-up. When the 6-5 junior missed both of his foul shots, a potential disaster had turned to opportunity. Keith Colbert thenfouled Tarpley at the :45 mark. The sophomore center calmly sank a pair to set-up one of those last-second plays that have plagued the Wolverines all season. AFTER calling two time-outs, the Hokies set up a final shot which junior guard Tim Lewis missed from 14 feet. A Tarpley rebound and Antoine Joubert lay-in set off the celebration. This one was not to be a repeat of the heartbreaks against Ohio State and at Northwestern. Virginia Tech coach Charley Moir said that Lewis For more coverage of the National Invitational Tournament including statistics, see page 7. MICHIGAN would not have been in a position to win at all if it had not been for 16 offensive rebounds in the first half. Hokie guard Dell Curry taught Joubert a few lessons during the first 20 minutes, connecting on. eight of 13 from the field as Tech grabbed the 44-40 lead. VTU shot 60% in that first half while the Wolverines made only 14 of 37 from the field. "I was getting upset because he. (Curry) was making so many," said Joubert. "I was trying to take him out of his rhythm in the second half."

There were scattered clashes bet-. ween government troops and left-wing rebels during Sunday's balloting, but no direct attacks on polling places were reported. IN THE biggest battle, 30 soldiers were killed near Tejutepeque, 35 miles northeast of San Salvador. Lt. Col. Carlos Alfredo Rivas, the army commander in Cabanas province, claimed some of the soldiers had been. shot after they were taken prisoner. He said the bodies had been shot after they were taken prisoner. He said the bodies of six guerrillas were found and quoted witnesses as reporting the rebels carried away the bodies of about 25 of their comrades. The vote count, suspended late Sun- day after a dispute at the election com- puter center, resumed yesterday. It was not known when official figures would be released, but final results were not expected to be known until lat- er in the week. In Washington, President Reagan pronounced the presidential election in El Salvador a "victory for freedom See DUARTE, Page 5 Linguistics to contitnue as LSA department -xi By TRACEY MILLER The University's Linguistics Depart- ment will remain intact for at least one more year, LSA Dean 'Peter Steiner said yesterday during a closed meeting of department members. Late last week, Interim Chairman Eric Rabkin confirmed rumors that changing the linguistics department in- to only an LSA program was under con- sideration, but Steiner said yesterday, "We felt we couldn't make a change without knowing what to make a change to." PAZ NAYLOR, an assistant professor of linguistics, said that she and many of her colleagues were "stunned" when they heard Steiner's announcement. "We were prepared for the worst," Naylor said. "Now we feel a relief because we have been given more time Steiner also disclosed yesterday that Linguistics Prof. John Catford will head the department next year. CATFORD, who was chairman of the department from 1968-1971, will replace Rabkin who will return to the English Department. An internal committee will be set up as soon as possible to evaluate whether the department's should be maintained or converted to a program, Steiner said. The committee, which Associate LSA Dean Jack Meiland would over- see, is scheduled to report its findings to the deparmtent chairman by fall 1984 for re-evaluation. ALTHOUGH Steiner said the College of LSA "didn't have a specific scenario planned," he did suggest four possibilities for the future of the linguistics departments. It could be: * It could remain as a single depar- tment, - divided into "general linguistics" and "applied linguistics," See LINGUISTICS, Page 2 Steiner ...keeps department intact .- I Faculty discuss code with Frye By SHARON SILBAR Members of the University faculty governing board met behind closed doors yesterday with a top administrator and discussed the proposed student code for non-academic con- duct. Although faculty members would not disclose what they discussed with Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye, some called the meeting "reassuring." LAST WEEK members of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) said they were concerned that the University had not made enough copies of the proposed code available to students. SACUA members also said they feared that students had not played a big enough role in drafting the code. But after meeting with Frye yesterday Psychology Prof. Donald Brown said "What we, were told was quite reassuring." BY PROPOSING the code, "no one is suggesting that we go back to in loco parentis, with deans of women and deans of men. It wouldn't work today," Brown said. Under the code, students could be punished by the Univer- sity for such crimes as arson, sexual harassment, assault, theft and vandalism. The code has been strongly opposed by student groups. SACUA meets monthly in closed meetings with Frye and University President Harold Shapiro. "WE SIMPLY talked with (Frye)," said Prof. Herbert Hildebrandt whose term as SACUA chairman ended yester- day. "The administration is receptive to changes from a wide diversity of persons." Hildebrandt, a professor of business and communication, was replaced by Public Health Prof. Morton Hilbert.
