Ninety-four Years of Editorial Freedom C I be LIEt I Iai1Q Encore Another warm and mostly sunny day is expected with a high near 60 degrees. Vol. XCIV-No. 153 Copvright 1984. The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Wednesday, April 11, 1984 Fifteen Cents Ten Pages 4 p -. - Greeks By CLAUDIA GREEN The University's proposed code of non-1 academic conduct is raising the ire of a pair of organizations which are usually silent when it comes to campus politics. Recently, members of the 49 campus fraternities and sororities have spoken out against the code saying that the guidelines would threaten their autonomy from the University. YESTERDAY, representatives of the , co-ops Panhellenic Association, the sororities' goverining board, sent a letter to the University Council and affirmative action director Virginia Nordby expressing "firm opposition" to the proposed code. Members of the Inter-Cooperative Council which oversees the 27 co-ops also voted unanimously last month to oppose the draft of the code. ICC President Marcel Salive, who has been an outspoken critic on the proposed guidelines, says the code violates the co-ops' attack proposed code policy of self-regulation. Although the fraternities' governing board, the Inter-Fraternity Council, has not written a letter "the IFC does not see a need for the code and doesn't want the University meddling in Greek affairs," said IFC President Harry Walters, an LSA senior. "FRATERNITIES and sororities are usually labelled as conservative groups," said LSA junior Gretchen Matz, vice president of the Panhellenic Association. "When you're labelled as a conservative group, you're taken as accepting of things, and that is not the case here. "I think (the letter) is showing that opposition is really broad-based." Walters, Matz, and Salive object to the proposed code that would allow the University to punish students for such acts as arson, theft, vandalism, and some ' types of civil disobedience. CURRENTLY, the University relies on civil and criminal authorities to handle such incidents, but under the code an internal judiciary would be appointed to enforce the guidelines. Fraternities and sororities already have internal rules and disciplinary procedures governing such acts, Matz said. The 17 campus sororities are owned by national chapters which also have conduct rules and "when combined with the existing civil justice system these controls eliminate the need for further See GREEKS, Page 5 Senate votes to halt CIA port mining in Daily Photo by JEFF SCHRIER Safe!

Student lobbying angers GEO By THOMAS MILLER Angry members of the University's teaching assistant's union last night charged that a graduate student who went to Washington to lobby for the passage of a bill making TAs tuition breaks tax exempt overstepped her authority. The controversy surfaced last night at a press con- ference held by Rackham Student Government (RSG) presidential candidate Angela Gantner, who went to the capitol on March 26 to speak 'with congressmen about the bill. UNIVERSITY TAs have been fighting to regain tax money they lost due to the expiration this year of an IRS tax code which had previously exempted from federal withholding taxes the tuition break which TAs receive. As a result, TAs have had to pay the government an average of $75 more a month - money TAs say is vital to their survival. Graduate Employees' Organization members at last night's meeting attacked Gantner for trying to represent graduate teaching assistants interests, because the union claims the problem is within their jurisdiction as the legal voice for TAs. "WE'D BE glad to cooperate with RSG, but it looks like an end-run around GEO to make RSG an alter- native to GEO," said union steering committee member Gene Goldenfeld. The union also charged that Gantner was ill- qualified to handle the task of lobbying to Congress. "She didn't even know who the congressman was from the district let alone who the senators from Michigan were," Goldenfeld said. "Before she left, she spent six or seven hours on the phone with Rick See STUDENT, Page 2 nedy agreed to put off World Court action un- See SENATE, Page 5 .Mondale wins Pa., takes control of nomination race PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Walter Mondale easily won the Pennsylvania primary yesterday, defeating a fading Gary Hart and rolling past the halfway mark in his quest for the delegates needed to capture the Democratic presidential -nomination. Mondale called it a "very strong win" and said he had established new momentum. Hart arriving in his hometown of Denver, said, "We are headed into our territory, folks." With 55 percent of the vote in, Mondale had 45 percent of the vote to 34 percent for Hart. The Rev. Jesse Jackson apparently was winning in Philadelphia and hoped for a strong third-place showing statewide that would underscore his still-increasing clout within the party. Mondale claimed victory and said, "I'm encouraged to believe that what I have been saying about where I would take the country, the differences as the public perceives them, is, helping me gain momentum toward the nomination." He called it "a very strong win." The returns, from 55 percent of the state's 9,560 precincts, were: " Mondale, 403,074 or 45 percent. " Hart, 300,895, 34 percent. " Jackson, 177;662, 20 percent. Minor candidates shared the remainder of the vote with several Democratic dropouts. President Reagan ran unopposed in the Republican primary. CBS News said its poll of voters as they left the election places indicated Mondale trailed Jackson in Philadelphia and Hart in its suburbs, but led elsewhere. According to the network exit polls, Mondale expanded his traditional Democratic labor and blue-collar constituency and began for the first time to cut into the young urban professional "yuppie"support that had carried Hart to earlier primary victories. And while Hart had been emphasizing in campaign speeches that he was the more likely candidate to defeat President Reagan in November, respondents in the NBC News poll picked Mondale as the stronger candidate against Reagan by a 2-1 ratio. With no primary elections and just four caucuses coming up in the next three weeks, the former vice president looked back at the first half of the primary season and said, before the polls closed here, "I win some; he wins some."

Mondale then campaigned briefly in Ohio before returning to Pennsylvania to await the primary results. TODAY-- The Pizza Connection BIGGER AND 'juicier than even the French Con- nection, Italy's most wanted criminal used a Midwestern "pizza connection" to distribute the largest amount of heroin ever smuggled into the communities. Federal officials caught onto the pizza pact by eavesdropping on seemingly innocuous conversations about cleaning pizza parlor tables or delivering flour that were used as codes for drug deals. "Oven," for example, was the secret word for a kilogram of heroin. FBI agents reportedly saw suspects carrying a variety of sacks, bags, pizza boxes and briefcases around, exchanging money for pizza boxes of heroin. At one end of the pizza connection was Gaetano Badalamenti, "the most wanted man in Italy" and leader of a Sicilian Mafia family. At the other end was Salvatore Catalano, whom authorities have labeled "top chef" of the Bonnano crime family of New York. story was printed in a Boston newspaper.
