Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday,.November 11, 1985 Student leaders honor Blanchard (Continued from Page 1) student was caught embezzling university funds while serving on the school's board of trustees in 1983. He said that, as a result of that incident, State Attorney General Frank Kelley ruled it a conflict of interest for students, staff, and faculty to serve on the boards. Kelley would have to reverse his decision in order for any change to be made. University of Michigan adminstrators have also opposed several attempts to have a student on the board, saying it woulk be a conflict of interest. ADMINISTRATORS have also opposed giving the governor authority to appoint board members, saying it would be a violation of the University's constitutional autonomy from the state. But Josephson advocates the idea, saying it would give students a greater influence in Univer- sity decision-making. Currently students can push ideas - such as a campus rape crisis center - to the administration through MSA, but Josephson said their recommendations are often altered before being presented to the regents. THOUGH THE reception was not included to be- confrontational, at least one school - Central Michigan University - refused to support the award because Blanchard's "tuition freeze has proven woefully inadequate. Increased and newly -created fees at many of our state institutions have rendered the tuition freeze useless, and we feel much more remains to be done for the financial welfare of state colleges and universities in Michigan." said a resolution passed by CMU's student government. Students at CMU were told of an increase in its health service fee shortly after its administrators met Blanchard's demand that they freeze ini- state tuition. Responding to a question by Steve Heyman, chair of MSA's legislative relations committee, Blanchard said he wouldn't try to influence student fees. "I'm not going to set what the dorm fees or the meal rates are," he said. "That would be ridiculous." Josephson questioned the Michigan Collegiate Coalition's praise for the in-state tuition freeze, saying out-of-state students have been ignored and sometimes have had to make up for the in-state freezes. Blanchard replied he understood the value of out-of-state students, but he said there isn't much he can do for students outside Michigan. "The number of out-of-state students isn't anywhere near what it should be. I remember even back when I was a student at Michigan State, how much diversity they brought. I like to think that higher education is one of the things we have to sell around the country," he said. ROCKY BECKETT, an MSU senior and former president .of the coalition, defended the award, saying the governor had done other things for higher education besides pushing for the in-state tuition freeze. Beckett said, for example, that the governor had pushed for large increases in education funding and that the tuition freeze was still a step in the right direction. Blanchard also praised the students. "It was tremendous training for me," he said of his tenure as president of MSU's student government. "I hope you'll continue to be as concerned about issues in the 'real' world as you are with things on your campuses.,, "That's the important thing. If you're politically active when you're 21, you'll probably be active when you're 31, or 41, or 51. If you're not active now, you'll probably still be watching TV when you're 31, 41, or 51," he said. The coalition, made up of representatives from the 15 four-year public universities in the state was formed in 1983 after a similar group - the Michigan Higher Education Students Association - folded, said Don Cape, president of Michigan Technological University's student government and vice-president of the coalition. "It lets us be a united voice when we're pushing for things like the student regents," he said. The Coalition also sponsors a student lobby day in the spring, when they meet with state represen- tatives. Soviets reject U.S. idea for joint statement WASHINGTON (AP)-The Soviet Union objected to virtually every item in a U.S. proposal for a joint com- munique at the summit between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, a senior ad- ministration official said yesterday. Paul Nitze, Reagan's chief arms control adviser, said the Soviet rejec- tion, which came in meetings Secretary of State George Shultz held in Moscow last week with Gorbachev and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, makes it unlikely that a joint communique will be issued.

Man hurt in fall off CCR bridge A Wayne State University student was in critical condition yesterday af- ter falling Friday from the pedestrian bridge over Washtenaw Avenue near the Central Campus Recreation Building. The 19-year-old man lost his balan- ce and fell while trying to do a han- dstand on the bridge's railing, accor- ding to news reports. Karen Schwartz, a student who saw the man fall, said she administered first aid and was later told that the man was in a coma and as suffering from a bran hemorrhage and a blood clot in the brain. Hospital officials would give no further information. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS PLO vows to continue fight ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - PLO chief Yasser Arafat said yesterday the Palestinian people will "never let the gun fall from their hands." And in Jordan, King Hussein told a military graduating class that "the Arab flag" will soon fly over Jerusalem. Arafat's statement on Abu Dhabi television followed a declaration he made only last week in which he denounced violence against unarmed civilians anywhere and pledged to punish violators of a PLO commitment against terrorism outside Israeli-occupied territory. Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said yesterday that his Cairo declaration was "a diplomatic riposte to the fierce U.S. and Zionist (Israeli) campaign against the PLO." The declaration was criticized by some Arabs who contended he had dropped the Palestinian armed struggle in favor of peaceful accom- modation with Israel. Arafat said the contents of the declaration represented "truthful respect for international legitimacy, which distinguishes between resistance against an enemy and terrorist operations against innocent civilians outside the occupied land." 4 die in anti-Apartheid riots JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Police said yesterday four blacks died in anti-apartheid violence nationwide, and a policeman was shot and wounded in a black neighborhood near Worcester in Cape province over the weekend. In another development, The Sunday Star newspaper said a letter used by the government as evidence to restrict journalists was bogus and was part of "a shocking disinformation scandal." Police officers seldom have been shot at during racial violence, but shootings have increased since August, suggesting that rioters may be adding firearms to the rocks and gasoline bombs that are their usual weapons. By official count, more than 800 people - the great majority of them black - have been killed in anti-apartheid riots that began Sept. 3, 1984. U.S. may bounce many checks WASHINGTON - Unless Congress ends its impasse over the federal spending this week, the U.S. government faces a Super Bowl of bureaucratic snafus on Friday, the likes of which the country has never seen. For the first time in its history, the government may default on its 'financial obligations, bouncing millions of federal checks. In addition, much of the federal government could be shut down, sen- ding a half-million or more "non-essential" workers home on an un- scheduled holiday and closing government offices from Washington to Anchorage, Alaska. The country is being brought to the brink of this double doomsday because of continued wrangling over federal finances. While Congress has until midnight Thursday to reach a resolution of the impasse, officials are reluctantly beginning to make contingency plans if this deadline is not met. The two problems - a government shutdown and a default - will require separate congressional solutions. 4 U.S. hostages return home ORLANDO, Fla. - Four American missionaries taken hostage by lef- tist guerrillas in Colombia returned home yesterday saying their faith and their refusal to pay ransom led to their release after nearly five weeks of captivity. "We were terrified. They kept saying we were CIA spies, that the United States was responsible for many atrocities," said Bonnie Cain, 33, of Front Royal, Va., who was captured along with her husband, Tim, and two other missionaries who tried to help them. "Our faith, our inspiration, was the many small miracles performed by God to show us he was with us. Yesterday, all four returned to the New Tribes Mission headquarters near Orlando. Guerrillas burst in on the couple on Oct. 5, held a gun to Cain's head and forced him to radio his home base, saying he was sick and needed to be evacuated. Royalty enjoy visit in U.S. WASHINGTON - Prince Charles said yesterday that he and Princess Diana are "enormously touched" by their welcome in America and hin- ted that they might head for the wide spaces of the West on a future visit. "There are lots of places I'd like to get to," the future king of England told reporters in his first news conference in years. "I'd love to go to Wyoming - the Queen has told me about it." Queen Elizabeth II visited Wyoming in 1984. The prince and princess of Wales worshipped earlier yesterday with thousands of ordinary Americans, toured a museum full of British art treasures, then visited the Virginia hunt country estate of Paul Mellon, the philanthropist whose father once served as ambassador to the court of St. James's... Charles and Diana appeared somewhat tired midway in her first visit to the United States, coming on the heels of a two-week tour of Australia. "Anybody finds this sort of time changing difficult," he said, but both he and his wife are coping. "It's all in the breeding," he cracked.
