4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 6, 1985 Texas band to admit women IN BRIEF The Texas A & M University must begin accepting female members, ac- cording to a settlement accepted by a U.S. District judge in Houston. The agreement ends a 6-year sex discrimination suit filed by a former student who charged that excluding females from the band violated her rights. The student was later joined by the U.S. Department of Justice. A group of former student band members, who entered the suit when the state attorney general refused, said Colleges they will appeal the settlement. The university's Board of Regents issued a joint statement condemning the lack of action on the attorney general's part. "The unique Fightin' Texas Aggie Band is worth preserving as a very distinct and unique organization unlike any volunteer organization in the coun- try," the university's regents said in a prepared statement. - The Daily Texan Mall classes produce qualified students Classes conducted in shopping malls are producing more qualified students for Indiana University-Purdue Univer- sity. The university located in In- dianapolis took the college classroom to five area shopping centers five years ago and has since found that the non- traditional students are doing better than their on-campus counterparts. Classes are conducted in rooms used by large department stores to train new employees. In return, the stores receive the benefits of increased prospects for potential shoppers. So far, this plan has added 1,500 to 2,400 students to the university's total enrollment figures each semester, with "Learn & Shop" students taking nearly 4 percent of IUPUI's total credit hours. The University conducted a series of tests using the same professors, cour- ses, semesters, and exams to compare the progress of "Learn & Shop" studen- ts with that of students in the regular weekday program and in a weekend program. Test results showed that the "Learn & Shop" students consistently marked higher than the other students. -United Press International Massachusettes college bans dorm alcohol Alcoholic beverages have been ban- ned from all dormitories on a Massachusettes college campus in an attempt to crack down on rowdiness and other problems that school officials say are the result of abusive drinking. Framingham State College officials said they wanted to improve the at- mosphere in the residence halls and alcohol use and the corresponding abuse were undermining that goal. Staff members from the univeristy's vice president for student services of- fice said they will monitor the at- mosphere in. the dorms, which house about half of the college's 3,200 full-time students. -The Chronicle of Higher education Yale fraternity rush draws criticism An apparent rebirth of the fraternity system at Yale University is drawing a mixed reaction from the campus com- munity. Though some men are finding a new social outlet in the fraternities, many students have expressed disgust over some of the hazing activities. O j Last week during Delta Kappa Ep- silon's rush ceremonies, some member of the fraternity marched down streets waving a flag made of women's under- wear. Several female undergraduates complained that the fraternity's actions "demean women." But KDE's Rush Chairman John Zanieski said the event was just clean fun. "Everybody has a desire and a need to be a fool once in a while and this is their excuse to do it," Zanieski said. "I'm sure (the women's underwear) was stolen out of laundry rooms." -The Yale News Texas fraternity elects black president The University of Texas chapter of Phi Kappa Tau has elected as president the first black student to pledge the predominantly white fraternity. Currently three of the 18 active mem- bers, including the new president, are black. The President of the university's Black Students' Alliance said the elec- tin of a black to the top leadership position could lead to a better under- standing between predominantly white fraternities and black student. PKT is the only fraternity affiliated with the university's Interfraternity Council which has members who are black. The four predominantly black fraternities at the university are not af- filiated with the IFC. -The Daily Texan Colleges is a regular Wednesday feature of the Daily.

I a SPACES STILL AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING MINI-COURSES: Aerobic Dance Bridge Conversation Skills For European Travel Dream Interpretation Financial Planning Mime Pool Sign Language Speed Reading Yoga Meditation Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Senate Judiciary clears Meese WASHINGTON-The Senate Judiciary Committee, dismissing ethical questions on a 12-6 vote, yesterday recommended Edwin Meese be confir- med as attorney general, moving President Reagan's counselor closer to the Cabinet. The committee sent the nomination to the full Senate after a three-day hearing that concentrated on questions about Meese's integrity and ethics in the wake of a special prosecutor's investigation that cleared him of criminal wrongdoing. The full Senate is expected to vote on the nomination soon after it returns form recess Feb. 18 Meese did not attend yesterday's committee meeting. Meese came under fire following disclosures that some people who helped him out financially with his two mortgages later got federal jobs and that the Army skirted its regulations when he was given a promotion that means a bigger pension. New Zealand denies port of entry to U.S. naval destroyer WASHINGTON-The administration, signaling allies that anti-nuclear policies will not be "cost-free," yesterday canceled a naval exercise over New Zealand's denial of port access to a U.S. warship. The dispute was prompted by New Zealand's rejection Monday of a second U.S. request to permit the destroyer USS Buchanan to dock at one of its ports at the conclusion of the exercises. Prime Minister David Lange, who swept into power in July on an anti- nuclear platform, has declared his Labor government will not allow any nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed vessels into New Zealand ports. While the destroyer is not nuclear powered, the New Zealand government wants assurances the ship is not carrying nuclear weapons. The U.S. gover- nment refuses to disclose such information. State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said the action is intended to signal other Western nations, who he declined to identify, on the perils of an- ti-nuclear policies. Blanchard vies for Saturn plant LANSING-Once again, Gov. James Blanchard is promising to "pull out all the stops" in Michigan's competition with at least a dozen states for General Motors Corp.'s new Saturn plant. Blanchard told the Michigan Association of Broadcasters yesterday he hopes GM will give Michigan serious consideration as the home for the plant, which will build subcompacts to compete with the lowest-price Japanese imports. "I believe if Michigan is seriously considered, we will end up as Saturn's home," he said. "We're going to pull ouf all the stops because we should and we have to. It could help us set the pace for substantial improvement in the business climate." Blanchard noted that the state was able to persuade Mazda Motors Corp. to build a new assembly plant in the Detroit suburb of Flat Rock. He said there is no reason why the same shouldn't be true for the Saturn plant. "If Mazda can start form scratch, certainly GM can stay here and do it," Blanchard told the broadcasters at their annual winter meeting. Gibraltar opening spurs violence GIBRALTAR-"Fanatics" set fire to five cars on the Spanish side of the border yesterday moments after Spain swung open the green iron gates that isolated the strategic British colony of Gibraltar for almost 16 years. The opening ended a diplomatic siege that began when Francisco Franco sealed the border in June 1969, forcing the colony to turn to Britain and Africa for labor.and supplies. Minutes after the gates swung .open, five cars bearing Gibraltar license plates were set fire in La Linea - the Spanish border town opposite Gibraltor. Gibraltar. La Linea Police Chief Juan Sani said two of the cars were destroyed and the other three damaged. A fireman was injured fighting the fires, he said. The opening followed an agreement Britain and Spain reached Nov. 27. Two years ago authorities began allowing people who live in Gibraltar and Spaniards with relatives in the colony to go in and out. Yesterday was the first time people and goods had been allowed to pass without restriction. Exiled S. Korean opposition leader fears house arrest WASHINGTON-Saying "I do not know my fate tomorrow," South Korean opposition leader Kim Dae Jung warned yesterday' of possible anti-gover- nment disturbances if the government tries to put him under house arrest upon his return to Seoul. "Dangers await me," said Kim, who leaves for South Korea on Wed- nesday, concluding two years of exile in the United States. He said he has been told he won't be jailed, but thinks there is a "strong possibility" he will be placed under house arrest. "I think if they put me under house arrest, there will be some protest from our people," Kim told a news conference. He is scheduled to arrive in Seoul on Friday after an overnight stop in Tokyo. He didn't suggest he would encourage protests, but declared he would con- sider house arrest "not acceptable." And he said that if the Korean government "is moderate" toward him when he returns, "I will also be very moderate so that my return will not result in creating any instability."

Passage of the bill, she said, "will not stop abortions, but will force a group of women to once again seek life- threatening back alley abortions." Earlier yesterday welfare Director Agnes Mansour and Paul Allen, direc- tor of the medical services ad- ministration, said the state will con- tinue funding "medically necessary" care for conditions which result from an abortion, even if payments for abor- tions themselves are terminated. Mansour also said she does not believe the funding cutoff will actually reduce the number of abortions per- formed in Michigan. Listing said in states which have terminated funding for abortions, 60 percent to 80 percent of the women who might otherwise have obtained welfare abortions wound up paying for the operations on their own.
