Inside: Weekend's special Valentine's issue E Ltan Ninety-six years of editorial freedom Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, February 14, 1986 Marcos IEatilQ Vol. XCVI - No. 96 Copyright 1986, The Michigan Daily take as violence From AP and UPI MANILA, Philippines - President Fer- dinand Marcos was well ahead yesterday in the official vote count by the National Assembly, which his party controls. Corazon Aquino, who claims she won the election, said he must resign to prevent violence. After seven hours of tabulating tally- sheets from the archipelago's 74 provinces and more than 60 cities, the assembly had Marcos ahead with 6,403,785 votes to 5,584,581 for Aquino. That gave Marcos an edge of about 53 percent to Aquino's 46 percent with about 46 percent of the votes tallied. The assembly's count determines the outcome under Philippine law. THE NATIONAL Movement for Free Elections, an independent poll-watchers' group called Namfrel, had Aquino ahead in its unofficial count. It gave her 7,158,679 votes to 6,532,362 for Marcos, based on 64 percent of more than 86,000 precincts reporting. The tally sheet delivered to the National Assembly from the president's home province of Ilocos Norte said the votes came from 761 precincts. The province has 624 registered precincts. "WHERE they got the other precincts, God knows," opposition assemblyman Marcelo Fernan said, bringing laughter from both the floor and the galleries. As the tally began, Aquino press spokesman Rene Saguisag said an op- position political coordinator was killed yesterday and his son was missing and feared dead in the northern Tarlac provin- ce town of Moncado. Saguisag said Arsenio Cainglet was Ten Pages s lead erupts gunned down by four men who fled. Police later found a body near Cainglet's home, but were unable to make a positive iden- tification because the face was blown away, he said. THERE was no official confirmation of the slaying, which came as Aquino par- ticipated in a funeral procession through v the streets of Manila for Evelio Javier, a key supporter murdered Tuesday in the central province of Antique. At least 130 people have died in election - related violence since the campaign began in December. Apparently confident of victory, Marcos interrupted the nationally televised vote count to deliver a speech in which he called for calm and urged his supporters "to take See MARCOS, Page 5 2 PRE-REQ.

By NANCY DRISCOLL The department of Communication has proposed new requirements for a concen- tration in that field, including lowering the total number of hours for the concen- tration from 38 to 31 and increasing the hours of cognate credit from six to nine. The LSA curriculum committee is ex- pected to act on the proposed revision at their meeting Tuesday. Any changes must be ultimately approved by the LSA executive committee. COMMUNICATION chairman John Stevens said that at the request of the executive committee, the department last year reviewed their curriculum in order to narrow its focus. Stevens said that the executive commit- tee felt the department was teaching more courses than they could handle. ept. narro "Over the past four or five years the number of faculty has dropped an average of one per year and during that time the number of concentrators has gone up by more than 25 percent," said Stevens. "We decided where our strength was-mass media," said Marion Marzolf, associate professor of communications in charge of the undergraduate curriculum. TWO of the five required courses for concentrators-101, Interpersonal com- munication and 210, Persuasive com- munication-have already been dropped because of staffing problems and because they are outside of the field of mass com- munication The proposed changes would require concentrators to take courses 103, 202, and 401 plus three hours from each of the following groups: Theory and Research, ows focus Institutions, and Communications skills. The proposal would also require nine hours of approved cognate courses. Under current 'requirements, students are required to take courses 101, 103, 202, 210, and 290 in addition to 15 hours of 300 and 400 level courses, including at least one from each of the three areas. THE TOTAL number of courses offered by the department could be reduced from 28 to 22. Already discontinued, effective this year, were 408, Organizational Com- munication; 102, Public Speaking for Teachers; and 411, Argumentation. Marzolf said that the concentration is "a general curriculum; it's not a pre-professional one." She said the proposed revision relies more heavily on cognates to make up for courses the See DEPT.

The Gophers, sporting an almost completely different roster than the one that beat the Wolverines by ten points in Minnesota, were simply no match for Michigan last night, losing 92-56 at Crisler Arena. ROY TARPLEY led the attack with 21 points on nine-of-11 shooting and added nine rebounds in a polished performance. "T hey beat up on us (at Minnesota). I guess I just returned the favor," said Tarpley. "We owed Minnesota," added Wolverine forward Richard Rellford. "I don't feel sorry for them. They've been beating teams." ELEVEN PLAYERS scored points for the Wolverines, who shot 59 percent from the field. That plus a prohibitive Michigan rebounding advantage (43-25) kept the home team on a roll all evening. "This was a big victory for us," said head coach Bill Frieder. "It's important for us to bounce back after a tough loss." Minnesota's only chance at winning the game was to keep the tempo slow enough to keep its See BLUE, Page 10 'U' Council waives rules of evidence By KERY MURAKAMI The University Council yesterday agreed that formal rules of evidence, as used in courts of law, should not apply to hearings under its version of the code of non-academic conduct. Instead, councilmembers said, mem- bers of a 3-person hearing board will be trained about the principals behind the rules, rather than the intricate rules. THE BOARD, composed of one student, one faculty member, and one ad- ministator, will not be expected to be trained in law, said Suzanne Cohen, a law student and co-chair of the council. Previous drafts of the code proposed by the University's administration also waived the rules. This prompted protest from students who said it was a violation of their civil rights. "In courts of law, the judge can throw out pieces of evidence as unadmissable," said Cohen, "but under our hearing, the board would decide." No judge is planned See 'U,' Page 3 Students panic over major, speaker says By WENDY SHARP Choosing a major can be a mind-boggling experience for some University students. Towards the end of sophomore year many students panic about their con- centrations, careers, and futures, Dr. Louis Rice, associate director of LSA counseling services, said last night at the MLB. RICE WARNED students not to throw darts on a "major chart" on the wall to choose their concentrations. But he added students "probably should not ask your parents or your best friend" what to major in. Students should pick a major that they are interested in, Rice said. "The ability of a college graduate does not depend on the label of a degree, but on the individual," Rice said. "Selling yourself, marketing yourself, and translating what skills you learned" are the factors that help students find jobs, he added. Rice stressed the importance of a liberal arts degree. He said students unnecessarily feel compelled to major in something related to their future careers. "You don't have to major in biology or chemistry to go to medical school and you don't have to major in accounting to go to business school," he said. "Even a history major can go to medical school if he has enough biology or chemistry credits," he ad- ded. COURSES RELATED to a future job or further studies are necessary, but a major is not. Some LSA majors only require 24 to 30 credit hours, leaving a student a lot of flexibility in choosing electives. "Electives can be the most important things you do for total education," Rice said.

Do you long to inhabit a Skinner Box? The University may have something to do with it. In the February since it "seems to be one of the centers where there happen to be a lot of psychologists, especially as researchers. But there are no fast numbers," he ad- mitted. According to the American Psychological Association, 150 of its members live here. New York has the highest number of members - about 1,000. The density in New York is approximately one psychologist for every 20 square miles. It is much greater here, about a dozen fellow university students cheered him on, Hiroaki Tominaga, 21, of Tokyo, out-ate hometown favorite Oscar Rodriguez by a single dog at Nathan's Coney Island restaurant, said spokesman Tom Zumbo.
