Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 8, 1985 'South End' board to appoint interim editor 4 By ERIC MATTSON The chairwoman of Wayne State University's newspaper plublications board said last night she will appoint News Editor Maureen Aitken to take over as editor of The South End, following the controversial firing of the Editor Patricia Maceroni last week. Maceroni was forced to step down last Thursday when she refused to allow United States military adver- tisements in the paper. The nine- member board voted 7-1 with one ab- stention to fire Maceroni for insubor- dination. SINCE THEN, Managing Editor Chris Greenlee, the paper's second-in- command, has been functioning as editor. But he said yesterday that he will leave as soon as Aitken is appoi- nted and a new managing editor is found. Greenlee supports Maceroni's fight to keep military advertisements out of the paper to protest U.S. involvement in Central America. Aitken said yesterday she would run the military ads, one of which is scheduled to run Oct. 26. Supporters and opponents of Maceroni's stance are waiting for Maceroni's attorney, John Minock, to file for a temporary restraining order to reinstate Maceroni in her $150-a- week position. Minock said last night he will file for the order tomorrow or Thursday, when he files a lawsuit in federal court charging that Maceroni's First Amendment rights have been violated. Aitken said she would accept the of- fer to serve as interim editor, although she said she wouldn't be sur- prised if Maceroni is granted an in- junction. "If that happens, I would stay right where I am, which is fine with me," she said. "What I'm con- cerned about is getting the paper out." Greenlee said that some staff mem- bers are considering quitting the paper and starting a new weekly publication, but most of the staff has adopted a wait-and-see approach. "I don't know what the hell is going on. Nobody has called me yet," said Greenlee.

Now, while he ursues a bachelor's degree in eneral studies, the senior is con- idering a career in the military. Given his lineage, that's not sur- rising. As far back as Gneiser can emember, the men in his family have evoted their lives to the military. GNEISER'S grandfather, Walter E. Odd, graduated from West Point Military Academy and went on to rect air operations for the Army uring World War II, then the armed rces in Korea during 1955 and 1959. efore ending his 33-years of service, e also oversaw Air Force operations n the West Coast. Joseph's father, Gerald, served in he Marine Corps. His eldest brother. avid, graduated from the U.S. Naval cademy and is currently working on nuclear submarine. And his oungest brother, Doug, an officer in he Army, is attending law school at CLA. The youngest Gneiser, however, emonstrated leadership skills even high school. He served as vice president of his junior class, and in his senior year, as president of the student council. AS A LEADER - in or out of uniform - Gneiser believes he represents the military and must therefore maintain a respectable image. "When I walk into a party," he ex- plains, "I am a military officer, and that I must keep in the back of my mind at all times. I have an image to keep up. That image I must keep up is a responsibility to not only myself, but the United States Army as well. I live up to that image because I'm a leader." Pointing to vandalism on the Diag and North Hall, Gneiser says he realizes that some people on campus oppose ROTC. But he brushes aside the spray-paintings, and adds that he has never been openly harassed. "It's more or less long glances," he says, leaving his apartment in full uniform, "and I sometimes wonder if it's admiration." Profile appears every Tuesday. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Palestiians hijack cruise ship PORT SAID, Egypt - Palestinian hijackers took over an Italian cruise liner with more than 400 people aboard yesterday, demanded the release of 50 prisoners from Israel and threatened to blow up the ship if attacked, port officials reported. State-run Italian television said 28 Americans were aboard the Achille Lauro, which was commandeered about 30 miles out of Port Said. Italian news agencies said Defense Minister Giovanni Spadolini placed the nation's armed forces on alert. Port Said officials said the ship had been bound from the Egyptian coastal city of Alexandria to Port Said, entrance to the Suez Canal, and headed out into the Mediterranean Sea after the hijacking. Its destination is unknown. The threat to blow up the vessel came from the hijackers' leader, iden- tified as Omar, they said. Shuttle lands secretly EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - The shuttle Atlantis landed safely on a California desert yesterday, still surrounded by secrecy as spectators were barred from watching the end of an inaugural four-day mission that launched two military satellites. Communications with the five-man Atlantis crew remained blacked out as mission commander Air Force Col. Karol Bobko guided the stubby- winged spaceplane to a perfect 1 p.m. EDT landing on a dry lakebed run- way at Edwards Air Force Base. A spokesman in Mission Control reported, "The orbiter is in very good shape," but no other details were released immediately. Sources said the astronauts successfully deployed two $100 million military communications satellites that are designed to resist nuclear radiation. The crew also tested systems aboard the new space shuttle Atlantis and a spokesman reported the craft was "solid throughout the mission." Atlantis was launched last Thursday under a shroud of secrecy that concealed even the launch time until just nine minutes before the rockets ignited. Following Pentagon policy for a dedicated military flight, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration withheld from reporters all of the air-to-ground communications and mission briefings that nor- mally are released. London rioters kill policeman LONDON - Police threatened yesterday to use tear gas and plastic bullets against street rioters after some of the worst urban violence in Britain since 1981. One policeman was stabbed to death and 232 fellow of- ficers were injured. Twenty civilians also were hurt when more than 500 youths, some ar- med with shotguns, machetes, and staves, battled police Sunday night and early yesterday in the racially mixed north London district of Tot- tenham. Police Commissioner Sir Kenneth Newman told a news conference that the riot - the fourth major outbreak of urban violence in Britain in a month - was the first in mainland Britain in modern times in which guns were used and a police official was killed. Newman said he sent tactical squad officers armed with plastic bullets and tear gas to the scene at the height of the violence but the riot was con- tained without using them. The rioters, blacks and whites, sppeared to be aiming at police, whom they blamed for the death of Cynthia Jarrett, a 49-year-old black woman who collapsed and dies of an apparent heart attack during a police search of her home on Saturday night. Caller demands Soviet, U.S cooperation in Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon - A caller claiming to represent the captors of three Soviet Embassy employees said yesterday they will be held until the United States and Soviet Union join forces to end Lebanon's 10-year- old civil war. He also threatened abductions of more Soviet and American citizens as a means of putting pressure on the superpowers. The authenticity of the call could not be determined. An anonymous caller who said he represented a fundamentalist Sunni Moslem group named the Islamic Liberation Organization claimed responsibility for the kidnap of four Soviet Embassy staff members a week aGO. One of them was killed and his body -left in a vacant lot. The body of cultural attache Arkady Katkov, 32, was found Wednesday, and the Syrians declared a cease-fire in Tripoli on Thursday, ending 19 days of fighting in which more than 500 people had been killed. Two other diplomats and the embassy physician still are held. Supreme Court to rule on affirmative action disputes WASHINGTON - With the future of racial preferences in the American workplace at stake, the Supreme Court began its 1985-86 term yesterday by agreeing to decide a pair of affirmative action disputes. The court set the stage for what could be its most important decision on racial equality of the 1980s by agreeing to study cases involving firefighters in Cleveland and sheet metal workers in New York and New Jersey. The two cases, to be decided by July, join another affirmative action dispute already on the court's docket - a case from Jackson, Mich., over collectively bargained plans aimed at protecting minority workers. At issue in the Cleveland case is what employers can do in seeking to in- tegrate their workforce by giving minority members special preferences. 4 Iq I4 14 14 I i FELLOWSHIPS 14 Since 1949, more than 5,000 men and women have earned advanced degrees in engineering and science with the help of Hughes fellowships.
