IMPAC, (involved in Michigan Political Action Committee) is the creation of students David Karp and Jill Goldenberg. The two together for- med IMPAC 10 months ago. AS A political action committee, IM- PAC rates and endorses candidates who have pro-Israel views. "We deal with one issue - the U.S.- Israeli relationship," said Chairman David Karp. "What we're concerned with is what is in the best interest of the U.S. nd Israel." IMPAC was started with the 1984 elections in mind, Karp said. He said there were several Senate races in the nation that the group wanted to par- ticipate in. THE GROUP will concentrate most of its activities on the Illinois Senate race where incumbent Republican Charles Percy is facing Democratic Congressman Paul Simon, Karp said. Percy, who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, angered many Jewish voters by voting in favor of selling AWAC radar planes to Saudi Arabia, Karp said. In addition to that, Karp said Percy has pushed for U.S. recognition of the PLO as the representatives of the Palestinians which alienated more Jewish voters. IMPAC HAS organized a bus trip to Illinois on election day to help cam- paign for Paul Simon. "Getting people to work on the campaign and get the vote out for the candidate is what we're all about," Karp said. , IMPAC has grown to 47 members in the past 10 months. Its influence is more widespread 'now, as similar PAC's have grown to other campuses in other states, including Northwestern, Indiana, Boston University, and Duke University.

Toll of winterweather siecsBurton Tower By JERRY MARKON Students celebrating the Tiger's first World Series triumph since 1968 avoided causing major damage, Ann Arbor police and University security of- ficials said yesterday. Police Sgt. Harold Tinsey said the department "had not received any reports of property damage" from Sunday's post-game demonstration, which started in front of Good Time. Charlie's at about 8:30 p.m. "ALTHOUGH THE subjects were drinking and scattering paper, there was no substantive damage," accor- ding to Leo Heatley, assistant director of the University's Department of Public Safety. In contrast, Detroit Police reported 16 injuries, and 34 arrests for charges that included disorderly conduct and unarmed robbery. An estimated 100,000 people roamed the streets, smashing four police cars, burning two others, breaking shop windows, and even at- tempting to overturn a bus packed with fans. 27-year-old Ann Arbor resident, Raymond Dobrezinski, was shot tc death on a downtown Detroit street Although Detroit Police Department Spokesman Wayne Roberts said the shooting took place "in the general area of the celebration," police weren't sure if the shooting was directly related to the festivities. IN EAST Lansing, jubilant Michigan State students rampaged through the streets, throwing bottles, ripping down street signs, and climbing on car hoods, according to Bob Tripi of the State News. They even climbed on the roof of President Cecil Mackey's home, chan- ting "Cecil!'Cecil!" Tripi said. The most' serious damage was at Spartan Stadium, where the mob broke through the gates leading to the stadium, ripped down the goal posts, and caused an estimated $2,000 worth of damage. Michigan State Security reported eight arrests, six of which were at the stadium. Compared to these wild celebrations, the University's Tiger party seemed relatively tame. A GROUP of more than 200 students paraded around campus, yelling, drinking beer, guzzling champagne, and scattering paper around each of the campus' major libraries. Some damage was reported at the Graduate Library, however, as the crowd' poured beer over both the reference tables, and astonished students who were trying to study. "One expensive reference book was destroyed," according to Jim Cruse, head of Circulation Services. In ad- dition, the students tore up "every han- dout and research aid around," creating what Cruse called "an awful mess." Cruse was "very disturbed" by the incident. He labeled it a "childish stunt" perpetrated by ,students who "acted like animals." Undergraduate Library Head David Norton was similarly offended when the group "trashed the lobby" of the UGLi by tearing down bulletin boards and in- formation stands. "IT WAS regrettable, inconsiderate, and unnecessary," he said, "par- ticularly because of the inconvenience to the other students who were seriously studying." Elaine Kinney, a graduate student in Library Science who was working at the reference desk in the Grad tried to protect other reference books by hiding them under the counter. But she thought the interruption "could have been worse, because it wasn't destructive." Nancy Glover, head of microfilm in the Grad, agreed, saying, "considering See TIGER, Page 3 By LISA POWERS The campus seems awfully quiet this year, especially at lunchtime, because the bells in Burton Tower have been silent since August due to renovations of the carillons. And Prof. William DeTurk, the University's Carillon- neur, said the interruption makes the balance of his duties less fun and more work than he likes. "I'VE RESIGNED myself to it since it has to be done," DeTurk said. "It's gone through 48 Michigan winters and since everything is exposed, 150 feet up in the air.. . it all just takes its toll on the instrument, literally." DeTurk, graduate of the University's School of Music, has been the carillonneur since 1981. Besides ringing bells, DeTurk also gives lessons and concerts, and is responsible for overseeing the upkeep of the bells. Thecarillons, stationary bells which are bolted to the ceiling of the bell chamber, are undergoing the first major restoration. One-pound chucks of cement have been falling from the ceiling, so full-scale repairs are necessary, said DeTurk. The entire carillon, 53 bells which total more than 60 tons, will be dismantled and put back together with new bolts, he said. SOME OF THE smaller bells need to be recast and will be sent to the bell foundry in England where they were made. The renovation will not be completed until next fall' at the earliest. The carillon was a gift from Charles Baird, a former athletic department director, and the tower was named after LeRoy Burton, a former University president who suggested a tower be built as a World War I memorial. The tower was built specifically to house the carillon so the design and workmanship was of high quality, enabling the bells to last this long without any major problems, DeTurk said. FUNDS FOR the project which began in 1936 came en- tirely from individual donors whose names are listed on bronze tablets in the foyer of the tower. Built during the Depression, the total cost was $70,000. Today it would cost more than $1 million. The restoration project will cost approximately $500,000. Half of the money will come from the University, and the See RESTORATION, Page 2 ' Pre-lawyers plan their f utures By TRACEY MILLER Representatives from more than ninety American law schools yesterday traveled near and far to visit the largest pre-law population in the nation - the University. The 10th annual Pre-Law day was sponsored by the Mid- west Association of pre-law advisors, and according to a counselor at Career Planning and Placement Office the Universityhas an outstanding record for the number of graduates who go to law school. "MICHIGAN is the only school that the caravan comes back to every year, and it is because they are never disap- pointed by the turnout of interested students we have," said Jack Tinker. The day provided students with the opportunity to have per- sonal contact with the admissions officers while helping law schools with recruiting procedures. "Applying to law school is such a paper process," said Louis Rice, an adviser at Career Planning and Placement. "Unlike medical school where they insist on personal inter- views, this day is most often the only chance applicants can have a one-on-one conversation with an admissions officer." HERB WALKER, a senior who will be taking his Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) in December, said "This has saved me a lot of time because I don't have to send letters to the schools and wait for applications. After my test, I'll im- mediately start applying to begin in September." Senior Laura Gabel said she will be applying to law schools this ionth. "I've narrowed it down to eight schools and seven of them. were here today, so I had a chance to ask some last minute questions before I fill out the actual applications." THE QUESTION of which is more important, the overall grade point average or the LSAT was perhaps the most asked question of the day, according to the admissions officers. "We take these two scores and weigh them equally," said Jane Rogers, assistant dean of Syracuse Law School of New York, "but we also keep in mind some subjective influences - such as where the student went to undergraduate school." Susan Curnick, director of admissions and financial aid at Northwestern University said "the overall package of the 'Applying to law school is such a paper process, unlike medical school where they in- sist on personal interviews.' - Louis Rice Career Planning and' Placement adviser students is what we look at. Northwestern received 150 applications from the Univer- sity last year and about 40 were admitted. Rice said he is encouraged by the success of University ap- plicants to law schools. According to Rice, 1,172 applicants applied to law school from the University, with 541 of these applicants releasing the information about their admission. Of this number, 440 were accepted. Rice said he assumqs with the rate of people who did not release the information, the total rate of acceptance is 60-70 percent. The University's law school last year admitted 369 ap- plicants, 74 of them undergraduates from the University.

Custodians will bag the trash and put it in the middle of the foyer - a place usually reserved for displays of rare books, historical documents, and other exhibits more aesthetic than gar- bage. Many of the snacks are bought in a nearby vending room, stashed in purses and knapsacks, smuggled into the library and then strewn throughout the library stacks after use.

"You guys get an 'A' for the day," Eyestone told the freshmen when he arrived in a van with an animal control officer. In two shakes of a lamb's tail, the ewe was bundled into the back of the university's Pest Control van and taken back to the bar- ns, Eyestone said. He said the sheep was carrying 10 em- bryos. ordered his lunch, picked up the tray and began to walk to a seat, when reporters asked whether he planned on paying. At that point Reagan pulled out a $20 bill and was given $17.54 in change. Surrounded by Secret Service agents, the president sat down to eat as aides brought two young men to sit next to him. Asked how long it had been since he had been at McDonalds, Reagan said, "It had to be back before I had this job." I i i
