No more jokes about the dollar being dead the day it's colored red. IN FACT, the upcoming changes in U.S. currency aimed at making it harder to counterfeit may not even be noticeable at first glance. "We are not going to change the color and we are not changing the por- traits. Any changes will be subtle," U.S. Treasurer Katherine Ortega said in an interview. While Ortega's words are aimed at calming jittery nerves over just what the government has in store for the money, not everyone is assured. RON PAUL, a former Republican congressman from Texas who was defeated in a 1984 Senate bid, questions the government's motives in making the changes, charging that something other than a desire to th- wart counterfeiters is at work. The deep down motivation is to find out where the money is," he warns. "It is direct attack on the privacy of people." Paul paints a scenario where the government would put metal threads in the currency and then use metal detectors to find where people have stashed large sumes of cash. ANOTHER possibility, Paul con- tends, is that the government will require that the old cash be turned in for new money, all under the eagle eye of the Internal Revenue Service. But Treasury Department officials say these fears are groundless. They say the new bills will move in- to circulation gradually as old bills are withdrawn and all old currency will remain legal tender. ORTEGA said no final decisions on changes have been made by Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III. Oretega said whatever changes Baker approves will take 12 to 18 mon- ths to put into effect. Thus, Americans are not likely to see even minor changes much before 1988.

ALL STUDENTS WELCOME - NO CHARGE the University community. The University has not done a very good job of this in recent years. Many of our standards are scattered among a variety of policy statements." Contributing to the confusion, said Dan Sharphorn, assistant policy ad- visor to the vice president for academic affairs, is the vagueness of the current rules' language. Instead of listing specific crimes as murder, theft, or trespassing, the current rules list only vague terms as "physical force," "property offenses," and "in- terference" as its crimes. "IF THE terms are vague, we're not giving adequate notice (on what's considered unacceptable)," Shar- phorn said. Given these problems, the Univer- sity Council, in early 1983, released its first draft of the code. Based largely on codes of conduct at other univer- sities, most notably the University of Maryland, the draft established san- ctions ranging from reprimand to expulsion for a wide variety of non- academic acts. The draft replaced the vagueries of the current rules, for example, replacing "physical force" with several crimes including "inten- tionally or recklessly causing physical harm to a person, or inten- tionally or recklessly causing ap- prehension of such harm." THE DRAFT also included sexual harassment, arson, and hazing among its list of crimes. Addressing the rape problem was one of the council's main - i ENGINEERING TUDTENTS: cash in on your hard work before graduation . . . and open the door to a top career in Engineering Management. For highly qualified students in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or hard sciences, the Navy's Nuclear Power Pro- gram offers the opportunity to earn over $1000 per month during your final year in college. For especially qualified persons, this benefit may be available for the final two year of college. After graduation, you will receive graduate level training valued at $30,000 and begin work as a technical manager with immediate responsibility and authority. This is the only program of its kind in the world. To qualify you must be between the ages of nineteen and concerns, communications Prof. William Colburn, then-chair of the council, said. But only five days after the draft was released, it was rejected by the Michigan Student Assembly. Student opposition to the code, however, was still sparse, with MSA's rejection coming by only a vote of 16-14. MSA would unanimously vote against later drafts of the code. The assembly also said in 1983 that it was not opposed to the "concept" of a code. Over the remainder of that year, the council would revise its first draft three times; each draft encountering more opposition from students, but none differing much from the others. It was also over this year that studen- ts began organizing against the code. Before then, "nobody really thought of it as much of a threat. But when we started to actually see the proposals, we knew they (the administration) was serious,"hsaid Eric Schnaufer, co- founder of the "No Code" movement on campus. "NO CODE" would become the cat- ch-phrase for student activists on campus over the next couple of years. Stickers, bearing the slogan would cover kiosks on the Diag that fall. But the slogan was deceptive, Schnaufer said. "We weren't opposed to the concept of a code, but we thought it was politically improbable that the University would propose a just one," Schnaufer said. One of the biggest dangers students saw in the code proposals, Schnaufer said, was a possible crackdown on campus protests. UNDER THE current rules, the University can take little action - outside of calling the police - against protesters, who, for example, disrupt a laboratory doing research related to the military. But under the council's four drafts that year, it prohibits "in- tentionally or recklessly interfering with normal University or University sponsored activities." The provision, if it had been in place, could have been used against students who protested recruitment by the Central Intelligence Agency last fall. Administrators could expel student leaders, Schnauferesaid, or more likely, use the threat of ex- pulsion to discourage students from taking part in protests. "The administration wants to stifle, if not totally put down dissent," Schnaufer said. "They want to protect its image as a positive university, cleared of all conflict. It doesn't help when students are calling the Univer- sity facist." ANOTHER concern among the students, said Jonathan Rose, former director of Student Legal Services, and one of several non-students who opposed the code, was a fear of changes in the future.

Aides said Prime Minister Shimon Peres might bring down the gover- nment if the inner Cabinet, a group of 10 ministers drawn from the, 25- member Cabinet to handle policy matters, did not approve the accords. But analysts said there was "every likelihood" that the pact would be ap- proved, averting a crisis. Peres, leader of the centrist Labor party, and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, head of the right-wing Likud party, had clashed on the agreements. The two men are the key partners in Israel's 17-month-old coalition government. Under a unique coalition agreement, they are to switch positions in September. West German foreign rinister fears Libyan assassination plot TRIPOLI, Libya - A senior official yesterday dismissed "as a figure speech" an invitation by Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy for President Reagan to visit the north African nation. In another development, Libya was reported to have ordered the assassination of West Germany's foreign minister. A newspaper in Bonn, West Germany, said West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher was provided extra protection after an unidentified Arab country warned that Libya had assigned a Palestinian terrorist to kill him. Bild, a Sonntag newspaper, known for its excellent sources within West Germany's security agencies, did not say why Genscher would be the target of a Libyan assassination plot. Space shuttle blasts off CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The shuttle Columbia shrugged off a record string of delays with a roar of triumph yesterday splashing the dawn sky with a geyser of fire as it streaked into orbit 25 days late with a congressman on board. The astronauts completed the mission's No. I objective nine and a half. hours later when they sent a powerful television satellite spinning out of the ship's cargo bay, earning NASA $14 million in delivery fees. "Excellent work, Columbia," said Jim Wetherbee in mission control. "You've given us a lot of hard work over the past couple of months and we. really appreciate it." The $50 million RCA Satcom, the second of a planned fleet of three, will allow cable programming to be broadcast directly to home antennas as small as three feet across for the first time. Top black activist killed in S.A. before State Dept visit JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The State Department's top African expert toured Johannesburg's trash-ridden black townships yesterday hours after a black activist who was to be one of his hosts was hacked to death by political rivals. Ampie Mayisa, 58, was chased from his home in Leandra township 74 miles east of Johannesburg, and killed by about 10 blacks ranging in age from 16 to 30 about two hours after sundown Saturday, according to his son, Joshua Mayisa, and other Leandra residents. Yesterday Chester Crocker, assistant secretary of state for African af- fairs, arrived for talks on independence for South-West Africa, also known as Namibia, and on the civil war in Angola, which is related to Namibian issues. Crocker was in Luanda, the Angolan capital, on Friday. He was tight-lipped while touring the rutted streets of KwaThema, Dudza and Katlehong, slums east of Johannesburg. "I am here to see and listen and communicate, but not to make any press statement," he said. U.S. conservatives endorse Aquino in Philippine election WASHINGTON - A private conservative group with close ties to the Reagan administration yesterday endorsed Corazon Aquino, who is challenging Ferdinand Marcos in a Feb. 7 election for president of the Philippines. The National Defense Council, which has been a prominent supporter of President Reagan's policies in Central America, said "Mrs. Aquino ex presses democratic and anti-communist views. "In order for democracy to be reborn in the Philippines, there must be a change from the monopolistic and authoritarian position of the current government," the defense council said in a statement. "A peaceable change must occur and it must occur now." The council's decision to back Mrs. Aquino, the widow of assassinated opposition leader Benigno Aquino, reflects a split in American conser- vative ranks over Marcos, who has been praised as a bulwark against communism by Moral Majority founder, the Rev. Jerry Falwell. Other conservatives have expressed doubts about Mrs. Aquino's political leanings. oS ..I p^.
