0 V Page 2 - The Michigan Daily --Wednesday, November 28, 1984 MSA criticizes N. Campus buses By NANCY DOLINKO The Michigan Student Assembly voted last night to send a letter of com- plaint along with 395 signatures protesting the quality of the bus service between the Central and North Cam- uses. Dora Aksoy, a second-year graduate student, is head of the campaign to im- prove the quality of the busing system. "There have been a lot of complaints over the bus service from North Cam- pus," said Aksoy. In a letter to the manager of the University's Transportation Services, John Ellsworth, MSA outlined the current problems with the busing system. The first complaint discussed is over the problems in scheduling. The buses do not run on a printed schedule, posing a serious problem as the cold winter approaches, the petitioners said. Buses also tend to be late or don't show up at all further inconveniencing studen- ts, they said. The second concern is with the poor quality of the drivers who "play games with traffic lights and brake abruptly," according to the petitions which were posted at bus stops. They also criticize drivers who smoke while driving. North Campus is home to the Art School, Music School and Engineering school as well as the biggest dormitory, on campus, Bursley Hall. Ellsworth, the Manager of Transpor- tation Services, refused to comment late last night on the letter from MSA or any of the current problems facing the bus service. Ellsworth will be invited to speak to the Assembly in the near future, members said at last nights meeting. "Buses are horrible," complained Andrea Langs, a sophomore in the Music School and member of the Assembly. "There are a lot of classes at night or rehearsals. Its very dangerous sitting there at night waiting in the cold for a bus." "A couple of mornings I have an 8:30 class and none of the buses will come. I've been late a couple of times because of the buses," said LSA freshperson Charlene Jensen. "It shouldn't take 20 minutes to get there. It's ridiculous." The weekends pose problems as well for students. "One Saturday I had to wait for over an hour for a bus. I've been let down by the bus system," Jen- sen said. Roger Fisher, an engineering fresh- man said "the bus service is totally inadequate for our needs. The weekend hours are not as frequent as they should be." JOSTEN' S WHITE LUSTRIUM T$20 OFF AET MSA angry over change (Continued from Page 1) MSA still has the power to either accept or reject a candidate. Kaplan said "it is a change because before it was our committee doing the interviewing with two MUBR included. Now it's a MUBR committee inter- viewing with out representative in- cluded." Kaplan added that "if there's no change, why make the amendment?" Johnson said that it is not a regen- tially granted right in this case because "the MSA charter cannot supersede any other organizations. The regents' ruling is to the extent that it does not in- terfere with other organizations." JOHNSON SAID that he approved the amendment because "I didn't see anything wrong with it. MUBR established their own internal commit- tee, which they have every right to do." Johnson added the Board felt they knew best what was needed within the board. John Haughton, MSA's represen- tative to the MUBR, responded that this could lead to "inbreeding. I think the whole rationale for the old system being set up was to ensure a diversity within the group." Kaplan agreed, saying that MSA is representative of the whole campus, and therefore "the best group to represent a diverse interest in the selective process." But Johnson disagreed. "It's not a given that because the committee will choose its own membership, that it will end up skewed," he said, cautioning against making such an assumption. HAUGHTON CONCEDED that "I don't know whether or not the body will inbreed itself, but I didn't see anything wrong with the old system. I think it dangerous to tamper with it." Perigo explained the rationale for the move. "We just thought that it would be more efficient this way." Perigo said the problem had been with publicizing the interviews; "where it would be, what time." He said that "sometimes they (MSA) would do an excellent job, sometimes they wouldn't.

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Israeli jets bomb guerila bases BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli jets bombed and strafed Palestinian guerrilla bases in the Syrian-controlled Bekaa Valley yesterday and police reported seven people killed and nine wounded in the fiery raid. It was the first Israeli air strike in Lebanon since Prime Minister Shimon Peres took office in September as head of a coalition government, and the 16th rsraeli air raid on Lebanon this year. The air raid was conducted two days after two Katyusha rockets were fired into northern Israel from across the Lebanese border. The rocketsk caused no damage or casualties. A Lebanese police report said five Palestinian guerrillas and two Lebanese civilians were killed in the attack that set buildings afire. The police said nine Palestinian guerrillas were wounded. But Abu Adawi, spokesman for guerrilla groups operating in the area, told The Associated Press in Beirut by telephone that only one guerrilla was killed and four were wounded. Syria, which controls the Bekaa Valley area of Lebanon, said it scrambled jets to confront Israeli F-15 and F-16 attackers. There were no reports of Syrian-Israeli aerial combat, however. Cocaine seized at remote airstrip KINGMAN, Ariz.-A huge cocaine shipment, wrapped in Christman red, green and silver foil and worth up to $5 billion, was seized at a rugged moun- tain airstrip commonly used by drug smugglers, authorities said. "We intercepted Santa Claus," Mohave County sheriff's spokesman Evan Williams said of the arrests Monday of four men on drug charges. The unloading of the gaily wrapped contraband was spotted by a vacationing sheriff's sergeant who was camping near the abandoned remote airstrip. Authorities said they seized 1,500 pounds of Peruvian cocaine that could have a street value of up to $5 billion, depending on how pure it is. It was boxed in wooden crates marked "18K" and "Paton." "It's the first heavy snow Kingman has had in four years," Mohave Coun- ty Sheriff Bill Richardson jokes. A slang for cocaine is "snow." Investigators said the plane carrying the drug cargo had flown from California to Colombia and then landed at the Arizona airstrip, known by authorities to be an entry port for illegal drugs. Brown students vow to protest PROVIDENCE, R.I., (UPI) - CIA representatives, undaunted by a protest which shut down an earlier recruiting session at Brown University, interviewed job applicants without incident yesterday, college officials said. Student protesters vowed to press their attempts to make citizens arrests of agency representatives for alleged CIA violations, including assassinations, yernment overthrows, the mining of Nicaraguan harbors and publication of a pamphlet on assassinations. At a noon news conference the protesters said they had filed a formal complaint with university security for its failure to carry out the attempted citizens arest of the CIA representatives Monday night. Robert Reichley, Brown's vice president for university relations, said thee is no requirement under state law "for our security personnel to act on alleged citizens arrest complaints." British diplomat slain in India 4 BOMBAY, India - Britain's deputy high commissioner in Bombay was slain by gunshots that shattered his car windows yesterday as he was being driven to work. A Moslem group claimed it "executed" the veteran diplomat because he had ties to the CIA. Percy Norris, 56, was being driven to work by his chauffeur when at least one gunman opened fire from close range as the car slowed to make a turn 55 yards from his office, a British spokesman said. The Press Trust of India said witnesses saw two assassins, described as Western in appearance. The British spokesman said bullets smashed two side windows of the car, striking the diplomat in the heart and temple. "Although Norris was taken at once to the Breach Candy Hospital inten- sive care unit, there was nothing that anyone could do and he died shortly af- terwards," the spokesman said. Norris' chauffeur was shaken but unin- jured. Arafat resigns from PLO post AMMAN, Jordan - Yasser Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization since it was created 20 years ago, abruptly resigned yesterday as chairman of the group's executive committee, a spokesman said. Arafat submitted his resignation to the Palestine National Council, the Palestinians' parliament-in-exile, at the end of a two-hour speech, PLO spokesman Ahmad Abdul Rahman said. The reasons for the move were unclear and Rahman declined to discuss specifics, but he did say Arafat was responding to pressure put on his leadership by four Syrian-backed factions that ousted him from Lebanon last December in heavy fighting. "If pressure against the Palestinian revolution (PLO) would be reduced through his resignation, he was willing to submit it," Rahman said. Asked if he was referring to Syria, he said, "Yes." At the end of each annual Palestine National Council, members of the PLO executive committee normally resign so a new membership can be elected, and there was always the chance that PNC delegates, refusing to accept Arafat's resignation, will reappoint him chairman.

(Continued from Page 1) "blowing the whistle" on cheaters stems from the fact that most engineering courses are graded on a curve. GERALD Essenmacher, an engineering sophomore, said that while cheating may raise a cheater's grade it lowers the grades of his or her classmates. Essenmacher said most students wouldn't tolerate dishonesty 549 E. University Ann Arbor, MI (at the. corner of East U. and (313)662-9270 South U.) from their "competitors." When a suspected violation is repor- ted to the Honor Council one member of the group is assigned to investigate the incident. After speaking to the accused and the accusers, the member sum- marizes the findings for the rest of the panel. The seven-to-thirten member board then votes on whether the student is guilty. The council president votes only in the event of a tie. If a student is found guilty, the group decides on the punishment. The council does not act on established precedents, but harsher punishments are advised for repeat offenders. The recommen- dations are given to the Faculty Com- mittee on Discipline which usually follows the panels decision. The current president of the Honor Council, Senior Eric Chmielewski, has served on the panel since 1981. He said he joined "because I believed in the Honor Code and wanted to do something to perpetuate it." "By allowing students to investigate the problems, we have a more humane - and I think fair - way of dealing with (cheaters)." POLICE NOTES Dorm break-in reported Three University dorm rooms were broken into over Thansksgiving break, two in West Quadrangle and one in Mosher Jordan, according to Ann Arbor Police Sgt.
