4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 5, 1984 S "esi According to Marvin Parnes, assistant director of resident hall living and a member of the subcommittee Siibwcube tf Tke- i4(idda* DaIeg 764-0558 which drafted the survey, RAs are in- structed not to force anyone to com- plete the survey and are given a list of counseling services where they can refer students with problems. "RAs are not therapists," said Par- nes. "We let RAs know that if they feel uncomfortable, they can get assistance from another RA, RD (resident direc- tor) or other staff member. The survey is the result of several years of discussion among University officials in affirmative action, housing and counseling offices. RUTH ADDIS, Stockwell building director and a member of the subcom- mittee, said that the real beginning oc- curred when the University president issued a statement condemning sexual harassment. As time went on, however, concern about harrassment spread from strictly faculty-student relationships to student-student relationships. A poll at a large, urban university in the south during the fall of 1981 showed that 15 percent of men and 21 percent of women reported they had been abused by a "courtship" partner. 19 percent of men and 38 percent of women reported that they had been abused. LAST SPRING, the Task Force on Sexual Harrassment created a sub- committee on student relations to write a first draft of the questionnaire. Since that draft, the survey has gone through a lot of "toning down," after orientation leaders, resident advisors and counselors who saw early drafts of the survey, according to Parnes. "It was personally offensive, we rip- ped it apart," said Pat DeKeyser, a summer orientation leader who reviewed the survey. "We knew we wanted student input for what would be an appropriate level of questioning," Parnes said. "We eliminated questions that were too in- trusive . . . We want to provide forx education." In the central housing office, associate housing director John Heidke conceded that the two sensitive surveys should probably not have been conduc- ted at the same time. "There are ways that we can better coordinate the way we survey students. . . It would be better to pace these things." ____j MICHIGAN STUDENT ASSEMBLY NEEDS YOU!

Seattle police confirmed Ng's arrest. Ng, who disappeared from Seattle within hours of the shootings at the Wah Mee Club in Chinatown, had been on the FBI's Ten Most wanted list since June. He was arrested yesterday at his apartment in Calgary's Chinatown, Royal Candian Mounted Police Staff Sgt. Ted Ellis of Calgary said in a news release. Ng was arrested without incident by RCMP, Seattle police and FBI of- ficers said FBI special agent Joseph Smith in Seattle. Ng was being held on, a Canadian immigration violation. Ng, 27, is the son of a Seattle-area Chinese restaurant owner. He is charged with 13 counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of 13 Chinese gunned down in the Wah Mee on Feb. 19,1983. Congress fails to pass budget WASHINGTON - Despite last-minute attempts by Congress to keep federal funds flowing, the White House told hundreds of thousands of federal workers to go home at midday yesterday after lawmakers failed to approve a $500 billion catchall spending bill needed to keep most of the government solvent. While the government was partially shut down, President Reagan and congressional leaders traded partisan charges of who was to blame for the mess, which also left in doubt whether Congress could meet its target of ad-, journing for the year by the end of the week. The House voted yesterday morning to approvean emergency spending extension to finance out-of-cash government agencies through today, and the Senate followed suit early in the evening. Edwin Dale, spokesman for the White House Office of Management and the Budget, said the president was expected to'sign the temporary money measure. All furloughed workers, he said, should report for work at their regular time today. Car explodes at Israeli embassy NICOSIA, Cyprus - A bomb-laderr rental car exploded yesterday in the unguarded lot of a building housing the Israeli Embassy in Cyprus, and a pro-Syrian PLO guerrilla group later claimed responsibility for the blast. Officials reported no casualties and said the explosion caused little"- damage. Police said one Arab was detained for questioning and another, identified only as an Algerian who rented the Honda Civic in Nicosia on Saturday, was.. being sought. Police refused to give the Arabs' names. A communique issued in Damascus, Syria, by Col Sased Moussa, head of the Fatah faction opposed to PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, said, "One of our units operating abroad blew up the Israeli Embassy in Nicosia." Moussa vowed to continue striking "against Israeli targets whenever they.- may be." The Palestine Liberation Organization office in Nicosia had said earlier. that the bombing was arranged by Israeli agents to harm relations between authorities in Nicosia and the PLO. Radioactive cargo found OSTEND, Belgium - A diver yesterday stumbled upon the last container of uranium hexafluoride trapped in the wreck of a French freighter, ending a six-week search for the radioactive cargo. Divers had been plumbing the depths for the 15-ton cylinder since Satur- day, when all but the last of 30 such barrels had been retrieved from the freighter Mont Louis. The vessel sank Aug. 25 after colliding with a North Sea passenger ferry. The final container was retrieved yesterday after it was found by a DutAh diver. He had first unsuccessfully searched the forward section of the ship's hull, the spot where the yellow cylinder was believed to be, loose from its chains and hidden by a mass of other cargo. When he could not find it, the unidentified diver swam six to nine feet up inside the hull, where he bumped into an unexpected object. It proved to be the container he sought - undamaged and neatly attached to its chain exac- tly where it had been placed when the ship was loaded. The discovery was described by Paul Goris, a senior official of the com- pany that handled the retrieval operation. "I was not myself on the spot at the time," Goris said. "But I can imagine the excitement. We are all relieved. We were getting nervous." Lebanese terrorists tentatively identified by U.S. intelligence WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence believes it has identified the terrorists behind the fatal Sept. 20 bombing of the American embassy annex in east Beirut, but lacks precise information about their~location and suspected ties to Iran, administration and congressional officials said yesterday. A senior Reagan administration official, who insisted on anonymity, also said the possibility of military retaliation against those responsible for the attack has been discussed at the White House, but has met resistance from a number of quarters, including the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff. The official said U.S. intelligence is close to a firm identification of those behind the suicide bombing attack, although it still is "not 100 percent sure." The group is described as one of a number that use the name Jihad Islami, or Islamic Holy War.
