Speaking at the Student Leadership Conference Saturday, Eubanks warned students that there are even some women who underestimate female workers because of their gender. "But don't be angry and don't fight every battle. You learn to choose your battles," she said. The day-long conference was sponsored by the Student Organization Development Center and hosted about 120 University students from several campus organizations. The conference featured seminars on motivating group members, recruiting new people, and stress management. Conference coordinator Ginger Davison said the sessions were not meant to be lectures. "We are all resources for each other. A lot of how it turns out depends on the students and their participation," she said. I've learned to love to be underestimated, and it's always such a delight to make fools of people.' - Dayna Eubanks Channel 7 anchorwoman DAVISON said Eubanks was chosen to speak at the conference because "she is someone who has really grown through her undergraduate in- volvement (in extra-curricular activities), and her involvement has had an impact on who she is.', Eubanks, who started out in the theater depar- tment at the University of Kansas, moved into communications when she decided she needed a back-up career in case acting didn't pan out. She joined the campus radio station staff and interned at a radio station in Topeka. The anchorwoman said extra-curricular ac- tivities are crucial to getting a job after graduation. "By the time you have graduated you must have at least one year of experience in your chosen field," Eubanks said. "Unfortunately there are a lot of University of Michigan students who come to Channel 7 to work who are very naive. They get really good grades, but they have no common sense."~ Eubanks encouragedstudents to meet as many people as possible. "Once you go across the coun- try the same people are there. They have different names and different faces, but the same per- sonalities," she said. BUSINESS ravel packages offer By JOSEPH PIGOTT Only three weeks remain before students desert Ann Arbor for spring break. While students rush to finalize their plans, travel organizations and student clubs compete for the student dollar by offering package deals at appealing prices. According to area travel represen- tatives, spring break is a boon to the travel industry because students like to escape Michigan's bland winters. Students, some of whom earn free spring break trips, also benefit. "WHEN YOU think of spring break, it seems like this entire campus evacuates to Florida," said Beth Painter, president of the Resident Hall Association, which sponsors trips to Daytona Beach and Fort Lauder- dale, Fla. "Students are attracted to the sun- shine, bars, and the atmosphere created when students from other colleges meet each other," she added. RHA charges $169 for bus transpor- tation and lodgings in Daytona Beach, Fla. For students who willprovide their own transportation, the cost goes down to $89.

Hewitt, Ypsilanti Call: 434-3088 (any time) and lodging arrangements. Airfare alone can drain a student's wallet. For example, Eastern Airlines offers a $359 round-trip fare to Tampa, Fla. for passengers who reserve space two weeks in advance, said one ticket agent. Airfares to other vacation hot- spots such as Denver, Colo. and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. range from nearly $200 to over $300. Travel packages also offer students greater flexibility when planning their trips. RHA, for example, only recently began taking student reser- vations, while airline agents said flights to common spring break destinations have been booked solid for several weeks. While some students flock to war- mth and sunshine, others prefer to ski the slopes. "WE GO to Aspen because it's such a lively place, and it has four different mountains to accommodate just about any kind of skier," said Janet Waidley, Vice President of the University's Spring Break Club. The club, which was formed to draw students together to save money on spring break, offers a $417 package which includes transporation, lodging, and lift tickets. Waidley hopes to take about 100 skiers to the slopes for spring break. THE CLUB'S package resembles many of the Florida-bound packages with its organized bar hopping ex- peditions and beer and wine supplied coach trip. "It's really social. We drink a lot," she said. savings fo The trip also gives students a chan- ce to make new friends. "ASPEN IS a hot spot. We have promoted some spring break flings, and we try to follow up by having hap- py hours so people stay in touch when we get back," she said. Student agents for package deals spend time drumming up business - but they get a free trip for their effor- ts. As an agent, Waidley makes reser- vations at the hotels charters the buses, and finds interested students. ALL LIABILITY for the trip is assumed by the bus line, the hotels, and the students themselves. Students who want to avoid the hoards of vacation partiers should not lose hope - a few organizations offer package deals to uncommon destinations. Dan Pickard, owner of Bivouac Adventure Travel on State Street organizes excursions ranging from skiing in Utah to whale watching off the coast of Baja, Calif. "WE'RE INTERESTED in promoting physical, active ex- ploration of the planet for people who want to get off the beaten path," Pickard said. His biggest project for spring break is the ski trip to Utah, sponsored by the University's ski team. "We're putting an emphasis on skiing instead of getting drunk and partying," he said. "We wanted to avoid the spring break bus trip because people need the energy to ski when they get there," he added. students IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Haitian govt. orders curfew PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - The government yesterday ordered a par- tial curfew in Cap Haitien, a flashpoint of demonstrations against President-for-Life Jean Claude Duvalier, and restricted foreign reporters to Port-au-Prince. Government-owned Radio National said Cap Haitien's 80,000 residents have been ordered to keep indoors between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. No reason for the curfew was given and it was not known immediately if it would be enforced for more than one day. It was the first curfew of- ficially ordered in Haiti since Duvalier declared a 30-day state of siege Friday in the impoverished nation. Cap Haitien, Haiti's second-largest city, is about 125 miles north of Port-au-Prince on the Atlantic Coast. The government communique also ordered all owners of radio tran- smitters to report their location to authorities. Eleven people have been killed since demonostrations began a week ago. Three people were shot to death there last Monday, and three people were trampled to death Wednesday when demonstrators mobbed a CARE warehouse. Five people died Friday in demonstrations in Port-au- Prince. Costa Rica holds elections SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Costa Ricans turned out in record numbers to vote yesterday in a presidential election that many observers predicted would be a close race between two candidates, both considered moderates and pro-American. Election day was a balmy day of flag-waving, horn-honking celebration for this tiny nation, Central America's oldest, most stable democracy. The contest was viewed a toss-up between two of the six contenders, Oscar Arias and Rafael Calderon. Arias, a London-trained economist, was the candidatesofnthe governing National Liberation Party. Calderon, a lawyer and son of a former president, represented an opposition coalition known as the Social Christian Unity Party. The other four presidential candidates were expected to share no more than 5 percent of the total vote, which officials said would exceed 1 million for the first time in Costa Rica's history. Philippine election officials negotiate to prevent fraud MANILA, Philippines - Government and independent election of- ficials agreed yesterday to share early returns from this week's presiden- tial election to prevent fraud. But some opposition leaders said pro- government news media could use selected returns to declare President Ferdinand Marcos an early winner. Officials of the Commission on Elections and a private watchdog group, the National Movement for Free Elections, or NAMFREL, met for more than four hours to negotiate a unified "quick count" of the election this Friday. Representatives of both sides said they agreed to share early returns from the nation's 90,000 precincts, which sometimes have trouble com- municating with the capital. The nation is spread of 7,100 islands, with an estimated 27 million registered voters. NAMFREL's role has been tacitly endorsed by both the Roman Catholic church and the U.S. government, which is sending a 19-member delegation to observe the election. Botha plans reforms in S.A. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - President Pieter Botha abandoned his take-it-or-leave-it political style for a media campaign yesterday to woo support for "institutionalized power sharing" between South Africa's ruling whites and black majority. "My government and I are committed to power sharing," Botha said in an unprecedented two-page newspaper advertisement drafted for him by a commercial agency. Botha's newspaper appeal came after 17 months of racial unrest that has claimed more than 1,200 lives. The media blitz began Friday night, when Botha appeared on black radio and television to explain his plans to reform apartheid - the gover- nment's system of racial separation - and appeal to blacks t'join him in negotiating the structures "everyone desires." In an address to Parliament Friday, Botha announced plans to create a multi-racial council to advise him on how to grant blacks unspecified new political rights. He said blacks also would be allowed to own their homes and be given greater freedom to travel, work and live where they choose. Firecracker tossed at pope NEW DELHI, India - Police arrested a man they said appeared "of unsound mind" after he tossed a noisy but harmless firecracker at the end of a Sunday Mass celebrated by Pope Paul II. The firecracker raised a plume of smoke about 40 yards from John Paul, who was leaving the indoor Indira Gandhi Stadium after saying mass before about 25,000 people. It burned the carpet, but hurt no one. Already tight security was increased for John Paul's 10-day tour of 14 cities, and police in the next city on the tour, Tanchi, rounded up around 100 people considered potential trouble makers. Before the disturbance, John Paul applauded efforts by Christians and others to "relieve the burdens of misery" of India's millions of poor. Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro said the pontiff heard the firecracker's loud bang but gave no sign of concern. But a Vatican official, who asked not to be named, said several mem- bers of the papal entourage "were concerned" on hearing the blast. The 65-year-old pontiff has survived two assassination attempts. Police told The Associated Press the man, identified as Dominique Ouseph, was charged with mischief and violation of the explosive sub- stances act. .. 0 0 lw^ Falling business forces Charley 's to lift cover charge By AMY GOLDSTEIN premiums, said Ken Wasniac of the Declining business caused Good Michigan Liquor Control Com- Time Charley's Village Bar and Grill mission. o remove its short-lived cover charge "No one wanted to pay (the cover ast Friday. charge)," said co-owner John Rogers.

According to co-owner and general manager Rick Buhr, the bar's insurance rates went up 1,000 percent last year, and the management ex- pects it to double next year. Charley's currently pays $36,000 yearly for liquor liability insurance. LIQUOR LIABILITY insurance rates have risen drastically because insurance companies have been losing more money on settlements than they have been collecting on j Some bar patrons were angry when the charge was instituted, saying that it was unjustified because Charley's doesn't offer dancing or live enter- tainment. "You're not paying for anything," said Michelle Des Rosiers. "It's almost not worth coming in here," she said. "THE ONLY reason people come to Charley's is because there's no cover," said engineering freshman Mark Huhndorff. Charley's co-owner John Rogers said he doesn't think Charley's will be able to cover the cost of their insuran- ce rates completely. "We'll just have to do the best we can," he said. Rogers hopes to improve business both at Charley's and at the Count of Antipasto, the restaurant part of the South University and Church establishment. He is also optimistic about business during the summer. "We usually do well in the summer with our (outdoor) cafe," he said. He does not intend to raise liquor prices or change Charley's format to include live entertainment or dancing to cover the insurance costs.
