University officials say the ad- ministation's draft released on Friday reflects criticism from students and the University's Civil Liberties Board. They say, for example, that the new draft an- swers demands for a trial by a jury of student peers and the right to an attor- ney. BUT THE draft's changes are riddled with new problems which might not be so easy to make students aware of, said MSA president Scott Page. For instance, under the new draft, only students who break the rules punishable by suspension for more than one term or expulsion are guaranteed a bearing before a panel of their peers. Moreover, the new judicial system gives the president of the University the right to select students to that panel. And the bulk of the cases will still be decided by one hearing officer who is an See NEW, Page 3 Michigan looks to Holiday By MIKE MCGRAW It looks like it's really going to hap- pen. The Florida Gators have been declared ineligible to play in the Sugar Bowl, clearing the path for Michigan to participate in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego against number-one ranked and undefeated Brigham Young. Florida won the Southeastern Con- ference championship this season and under normal circumstances would have gotten an automatic bid to the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. But earlier this season, the Gators were placed on NCAA probation that prohibited them from seeing post- season action for three years. THE NCAA penalty is under appeal, but yesterday the Southeastern Con- ference decided to ban the Gators from the 1985 Sugar Bowl. Because of this, Auburn - the previous top choice for the Holiday Bowl - steps into the driver's seat to claim the trip to New Orleans. A win over Alabama on December 1 will put the Tigers in the Superdome for the second straight year. But regardless of the outcome of the Alabama game, Auburn is out of the Holiday picture. A loss to the Crimson Tide would make LSU the SEC cham- pions and Auburn would go to the Liber- ty Bowl. "With Auburn out, that moves Michigan into the number-one position," said Holiday Bowl executive director John Reid. Asked if this means he will be giving the Wolverines an in- vitation, Reid answered, "We would hope to." THE OFFICIAL bids to this winter's bowl games cannot be extended until this Saturday at 6:00 p.m., but things Bowl appear pretty well set for a trip to San Diego for Michigan on Dec. 21. "We would accept a bid if they gave it to us," said athletic director Don Canham last night. "We have a pretty good idea that they're going to invite us.,' This has to be great news for Bo See WOLVERINES, Page 3 Bowl bid won't bring California migration By DOV COHEN While the Wolverines are ea cted to accept their invitation to the -liday Bowl in San Diego on December the last day of finals, most profe. rs probably won't have to worry abot a mass migration to California teavm their classrooms empty. For $350 - the approximate cost of a roundtrip plane ticket to San Diego - "the student market would rather sit home and spend their money on beer," said Fred Sanchez of Great Places travel agency. GREAT PLACES flew about 400 students to the Rose Bowl in 1981, but is expecting less than 20 for this year's bowl, Sanchez said. "If it were the Rose Bowl it might be a different story," said LSA junior John Holler, president of the Trigon frater- nity. "I'm pretty sure nobody from our house is going. The Holiday Bowl is a ,retty blah bowl." The Acacia house which ususally ds about 50 percent of it's members tG 9 Rose Bowl, will send "only one or tw.. en this year," said Bern Hughes, a music school senior.

The University is no exception. Because of vandalism damage to residence halls as well as concern for members of the University com- munity, a special task force has studied use of alcohol on campus and made recommen- dations concerning the problem. THE 34-PAGE report, a result of eight mon- ths of study, emphasizes the importance of responsible drinking, and the recommen- dations are aimed at creating more awareness about alcohol use and abuse. The report proposes five strategies to promote responsible drinking: " education on alcohol use and abuse; " creation of an environment in the residence halls and throughout the University com- munity that promotes responsible drinking; " treatment and support for alcoholism and alcohol-related problems; " research on student attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol; and " making alcohol education and responsible drinking a way of life at the University. Education of both staff and students plays an, important role in the goals of the report. In- cluded in these educational strategies are placing information centers in the dorm libraries, holding awareness programs for new students, and establishing guidelines for staff behavior regarding alcohol. "Educating people is a good start in handling any type of social or health problem," said Keith Bruhnsen, assistant coordinator of the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program. "Alcohol-related diseases are the second leading cuase of health problems in the United States today.... Courses should be offered." Although many students begin drinking before they, come to the University, the report says a campus setting "may be the final oppor- tunity to intervene in a pattern of behavior that may have devastating results for the student and for others as well." EDUCATION efforts also include training of residence hall staff to help them deal more ef- fectively with alcohol problems. Many of the resident advisors are not much older than the residents, but Bruhnsen said that is not necessarily a disadvantage. "The peer counselor model has been effective at other universities," he said. "Students with a problem tend to seek out someone of the same age and lifestyle." Bruhnsen added that training RAs who see students often can aid in identifying early signs See TEETOTALLING, Page 3 , . . . . . ..en~ . . .us.. .s.. .. .. . .. ........... v'. \.f:5. 3 .A, '?1: fy }S.... ... . . . . . . . .. . . . ... ., .vw:***v" ..:.... .::.,..:.v~ .::v v ........ . ..: , ....., ,. _ .-.. . h. .r.. } . i. 4y.

The Commerce Department said the gross national product - the country's total output of goods and services - grew at a sluggish 1.9 percent during the third quarter. THIS REPRESENTED a marked drop from growth in the first half of the year, when the economy zoomed along at rates of 10.1 percent in the first quarter and 7.1 percent in the second quarter. In another sign of economic weakness, the government also said housing construction fell by 9.8 percent in October, putting starts at an annual rate of 1.52 million units, the lowest since December 1982. The Reagan administration called the slowdown in growth temporary and predicted an upturn by the first of next year, but many private economists warned of rising unem- ployment and a growing threat of a recession. DEPUTY WHITE House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said the slowdown was made more pronounced by the American and Candian auto strikes but that most economists are expecting "a return to moderate growth next year." But Allen Sinai, chief economist, at Sherson Lehman- TODAY- TGI Thanksgiving though most students will take to the highway some time today for their once per term visit home, those that stay won't be exiled to a weekend of solitude. For starters the University American Express, said, "This is another indication that the economy is weaker than expected. It is very clear that we have a growth recession and maybe something worse." Sinai placed the odds of an outright recession now at one in four. He said that the drop in interest rates that occurred af- ter Labor Day should act to rejuvenate the economy but not until February or March. "ONCE THE momentum of growth slows, it is very hard to reverse it quickly," he said. "There should be some upticks in the unemployment rate in the next couple of months." Sinai said growth in the current quarter could dip as low as 1.5 percent with other analysts forecasting growth at 2 per- cent or below. The commerce report blamed the third quarter GNP slowdown primarily on a drop in consumer spending and the country's worsening trade deficit. While personal consumption spending was advancing at an annual rate of 7.9 percent in the second quarter, that increase had slowed to 0.6 percent in the third quarter. But foreign imports increased at annual rate of 55.5 per- cent in the third quarter, compared with an 8 percent pace in the second quarter. U.S. sales were also up, but at a much slower rate of 8.8 percent compared to a decline of 0.5 percent in the second quarter. The high dollar has been blamed for what will be the country's worst trading year in history. Associated Press No intelligent life here Illinois Gov.

Hey Neighbor I T WAS a beautiful day in the neighborhood yesterday as the Smithsonian Institution accepted a bright .red cardigan sweater from Mister Rogers, the kindest, coziest and least excitable host on daytime television. The zippered sweater, familiar to preschool viewers of the daily "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" program, will join Archie Bunker's wing chair, a Kermit the Frog puppet and other memorable ob- jects on display at the National Museum of American History later this year. "We get railroad trains and Stradivariuses and tap shoes. But this one is a friendly ar- neighborly day in the neighborhood... Won't you be my neighbor?" He replaces his jacket with a sweater, sheds his shoes in favor of sneakers, and gets down to business - a tour of an applesauce factor, a look at some animals, a trip to the neighborhood of Make-Believe. The sweater, Rogers said Tuesday, is a symbol that "I'm going to stay awhile. Let's just settle in and have at least a half-hour visit together." "You're welcome to a pair of sneakers," he told a swarm of amused Smithsonian officials who wore sweaters in his honor. Rogers, an ordained Presbyterian minister, said his program is aimed at "children, wounded people, people who may feel they don't have much to give.

Runnerups each walked away with prizes equal to one year's rent in Monopoly's high-rent district. Forbes, who described himself as a life-long board game player, said he had a winning strategy to pass on to millions of Monopoly players around the world. "Every game is completely different," he said. "You have to go with the dice for the first 15 to 30 minutes and then develop your strategy." Monopoly will turn 50 years old next year.
