Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 27, 1985 Literary magazine sues Yale IN BRIEF , Publishers of the Yale Literary Magazine filed a lawsuit earlier this month seeking $10 million in damages from Yale University. The suit charged the university with organizing a "conspiracy" against the magazine and violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. Andrei Navrozov, the editor of the publication, is also seeking an appeal of a 1983 court case in which Colleges the court prohibited the magazine from using the university's name. In the suit, Navrozov claims that the last court trial was a "sham". He also argues that Yale has been "harassing" the magazine since 1978, when mem- bers of the American Literary Society bought the magazine from a student group for one dollar. The magazine also charges Yale with the fraudulent assertion of exclusive rights to use the name "Yale" and with violation of the First Amendment and due process of law. The Yale News Engineers recommend behavior guidelines Leave it to the engineers to spoil a party. The University of Illinois Engineering Council has drawn up a list of six recommendations to curb disrup- tive behavior by students at this year's commencement activities. Joe Lehman, council president, said the proposals are aimed at preventing champagne bottles and other con- traband items from being brought into the ceremony. Lehman said he met with University President Stanley Ikenberry to discuss the council's recommendation. He said Ikenberry was "pleased" with the proposals, and that he "appreciated the work the students put in." The council's proposals included using Assembly Hall personnel to check entering students for "contraband items," to distribute caps and gowns af- ter students are in the hall, and to seat the most desruptive units farthest away from the stage and audience areas. Lehman said in the past "corks were popping and champagne was spraying all over the place and disrupting the ceremony." -- The Daily Illini Two suspected suicide cases atexas 'U' Two University of Texas students died under strange circumstances last week. Police are not ruling suicide out in either case. One of the students, 19-year-old business freshman Dean Allen Mur- doch, was fatally injured when his 1984 Trans Am jumped a 2 -inch curb and slammed into a concrete abutment. He later died of injuries caused by the im- pact with the steering wheel and dash- board. Police said they found no skid marks or other indications that Murdoch at- tempted to stop the car. They are un- sure why the car swerved in the first place. The other student, Tanya Kamas, was found dead in her apartment by a roommate returning from spring break. There was no apparent cause of death. A residentof a nearby apar- tment said police found a large quantity of prescription drugs near the body. Friends of both students said they kept mostly to themselves. -The Daily Texan Boston 'U' students question tuition hike Students at Boston University are reassessing just how much their degree is worth in light of an upcoming tuition hike. It is expected to jump from 10 to 13 percent. "I may as well transfer to Harvard, it has a much better reputation," junior Eric Granger said. "BU's a really good school, but I don't think any school's worth $13,000 to $14,000. That's ridiculous." An administrator said the tuition will increase between 10 and 13,5 percent, an increase of at least $900 over this year. The proposed increase is expec- ted to be approved or amended at, a futre Board of Trustees meeting. Some students are predicting a major decline in enrollment next year, citing the combination of raised tuition and federal cuts to aid. "This school's going to be empty," said Maragrita Lloveras, a senior. "I know a lot of students who are leaving already because it's too expensive." - The Daily Free Press Colleges is a Wednesday feature of the Daily.

SACUA is broadenin By STACEY SHONK Robert Green, the newly elected chair of the Senate Advisory Committee for University Affairs said yesterday that he supports, the committee's progress towards broadening its scope of administrative concern. Green, who was elected to a one-year term as SACUA chair Monday, said that last year's committee expanded its interests to include more than just faculty salaries, benefits, and working conditions. "THIS PAST year SACUA broadened its concern beyond the traditional, parochial faculty interests," Green said, "We were involved not only with those interests, but also moved to be involved with the future of the University." " " g its view, chair says "This year we've focused on education, the future of the University, research, administration - the central issues that affect the University. Hopefully, we won't be changing much," Green said. While Green noted that the executive faculty committee had no authority in the actual administrative decisions, he said that its advice carries significant in- fluence in them. He said the committee also serves to educate and generate ac- tion from the faculty of the University's 18 schools and colleges. GREEN, A professor of internal medicine, was elected by unanimous vote of the SACUA committee, as was William Stebbins who was voted to the commit- tee's vice-chair position. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Soviet, American versions of U.S. officer's death conflict MOSCOW - The Soviet Union said yesterday that a U.S. Army major shot and killed in East Germany was spying on forbidden ground and that the Un- ited States is spreading a "deliberately false version" of the incident. The United States says Maj. Arthur Nicholson Jr. was on a legitimate mission, in an unrestricted area, and the shooting was tantamount to mur- der. A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Moscow called the report by the official Tass news agency an attempt "to justify an action that just cannot be justified." The official Soviet news agency Tass said the sentry acted properly and that repsonsibility for the death "lies fully on the American side." Michael Burch, a U.S. assistant defense secretary said in Luxembourg, "When we find the Soviets, even in restricted areas, we simply take their cameras away and send them home. We don't shoot them." A Soviet sentry shot Nicholson on Sunday near the East German town of Ludwigslust about 30 miles from the West German border. U.S, officials said Nicholson's driver was prevented from going to the wounded man with his first aid kit, and the major was left to die without medical attention. Judge blocks Mich. orn law FLINT - U.S. District Judge Stewart Newblatt yesterday blocked enfor- cement of a key portion of Michigan's new anti-pornographic law. Enjoined by Newblatt was a provision of the law which would have im- posed fines of up to $5 million for a pornography dealers on a second offense. The judge called it vague. Other sections imposing lesser penalties were left standing. The law, passed last year, is scheduled to take effect Friday. The $5 million fine for a second offense by merchants whose main business is porn would have been the nation's highest, according to critics of the measure. U.S. charges G.E. with fraud PHILADELPHIA - General Electric Co., the nation's fourth-largest defense contractor, was indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday on charges it defrauded the government of about $800,000 on a nulcear warhead system. The company was charged with four counts of "making and presenting false claims to the United States" in violation of the U.S. Code and 104 counts of making false statements to an agency of the United States said U.S. Attor- ney Edward Dennis, who announced the indictment. The indictment also charged GE employee Joseph Calabria and former employee Roy Baessler with two counts each of "making false declarations" before a federal grand jury, Dennis said. If convicted, GE faces a maximum penalty of $1,080,000 fine and Calabria and Baessler each face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, Dennis said. A Pentagon official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said an indic- tment of GE "will almost assuredly be the largest defense contractor ever charged with criminal counts." High court bars Okla. schools from firing gay advocates WASHINGTON - A evenly divided Supreme Court barred Oklahoma public school boards yesterday from firing teachers who advocate, en- courage or promote homosexuality. The justices, by a 4-4 vote, upheld a federal appeals court ruling that an Oklahoma law allowing such firings violated teachers' free-speech rights. Such tie votes do not set any national precedent, because it is possible that in some future case the same issue will be decided by all nine justices. But yesterday's development means the 10th U.S. circuit Court of Appeals ruling that threw out the Oklahoma law bars any attempt to draft such a law in other states within that federal judicial circuit - Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The National Gay Task Force, which had challenged the Oklahoma law in a test case lawsuit against the Oklahoma City school board, called the ruling a key victory. The law would have regulated what teachers said outside of school, not just their speech inside the classroom. S. Africa seizes 230 protesters JOHANNESBURG, South Africa --Police arreste four leading anti-apar- theid clerics and more than 230 protesters yesterday when they marched through Cape Town after a memorial service for 19 blacks killed last week by police. It was one of the largest mass arrests of oppenents of apartheid, South Africa's racial separation policies. New rioting broke out near Port Elizabeth on the Indian Ocean, where the* 19 blacks were shot to death by police last Thursday and 11 people have died in subsequent violence. No casualties were reported yesterday. The shootings set off bitter debate over wheher police opened fire without warning, as witnesses claim. Police said blacks were armed and threatened them. Police warned whites throughout the country yesterday to stay out of black townships because they might be assaulted. More than 200 people have died in rioting by blacks since September.

According to Davis, the other 32 students who have failed the test in the past and were allowed to retake it were not already on academic probation as Ewing was. According to Davis, the University's appeal will focus on two points. The fir- st deals with an Eleventh Amendment clause which states that a government body cannot be tried in another court system. Davis said that as a state in- stitution, the University should have been tried in a state, not federal court. SECONDLY, Davis maintains that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals was overstepping it's bounds when it over- turned the previous courts decision. In overturning the decision, the appeals court cited previous incedents in which other University medical students had been allowed to retake the exam. Davis said that the criteria used in these cases should not have been relevent in deciding if Ewing's right to due process had been violated. "All they're allowed to do, according to our position, is (determine) whether or not he was given a hearing," he said.

In the head of the debate, the audien- ce held complete silence as one student stated that he had a two-year-old daughter thanks to his pro-life choice. Pro-life members say the movie has given their campaign against abortion new momentum. Pro-life organizations are presently financing the distribution of Silent Scream videocassettes to state legislators. LSA junior Maria Constantinou spon- sored the event.
