Tigers
sock the
Sox, 6-5,
in opener F-I
By RICK KAPLAN
Special to the Daily
DETROIT - It was Opening Day .
for Kirk Gibson yesterday, and the
Tiger slugger beat the Boston Red Sox
6-5, at Tiger Stadium.
The Detroit right fielder launched
two upper-deck home runs in a per-
formance destined for the annals of
Tiger Opening Days. Gibson went
four-for-four with five runs batted in.
"I look at it as Kirk Gibson 6, Red Sox
5," said Boston right fielder Dwight
Evans.
GIBSON'S seventh-inning homer,
his second of the day, was the game-
winner. Boston led 5-4 when the 28-
year-old blasted Sammy Stewart's 0-2
pitch into the right field stands.
"It feels good to get off to a good
start," Gibson said. "It feels too good
to be true." ;
In the fourth inning, Gibson broke a'
2-2 tie with a too-long-to-be-true
smash off Boston starter Bruce Hurst.
Tiger designated hitter Dave Collins,
on third with an RBI triple scored a
ahead of Gibson.
AFTER THE ceremonial first pit-
ch, Evans greeted Detroit pitcher
Jack Morris unceremoniously,
homering on Morris's first pitch. The
Red Sox roughed up the Tiger right-
hander for four round-trippers. in

LSA faculty rejects bid
to g rant ROTC credit

By STEPHEN GREGORY
Members of the LSA faculty yesterday rejected a
proposal that would have granted LSA credit for courses
taught in the ROTC program.
The 52 to 8 vote marked the third time since 1970 that
LSA has rejected academic credit for military education
courses. The college's current policy forbids such credit
although it is given in varying amounts by most other
schools and colleges.
THE PROPOSAL written by a three-member subcom-
mittee of the LSA Curriculum Committee, urged that
"LSA students enrolled in 300 or 400 level courses - receive
one hour of degree credit for each such course satisfac-
torily completed, up to a maximum of four credit hours."
The credits would have been considered among the 12
LSA credits the college gives for work completed in other
units of the University.

Subcommittee members had called the proposal "the
most plausible way in which to grant degree credit for
work done in ROTC courses," in a report presented to
LSA faculty members last month.
FACULTY MEMBERS who rejected ROTC credit
echoed similar reasons given by LSA officials for the past
16 years. They criticized the academic quality of ROTC
courses and instructors and expressed concern that the
courses are administered by the military services in-
dependent of the University.
The pre-professional nature of the ROTC program -
which attempts to prepare students for military service
after graduation - does not fit in with the ggals of a
liberal arts education, LSA officials believed.

history at the University.
But Jules Van Dyck-Dobos, owner
of the 23 ft.-by-8 ft. gourmet
restaurant Le Dog at 410 Liberty St.
*wouldn't trade his job for any position
at the University.
Van Dyck-Dobos left his job as
manager of Chicago's famous The
Bakery restaurant - which makes
$1.5 million annually- to found Le

Dog in 1979. "This is a gourmet
restaurant and I'm the owner," he
says.
Along with hot dogs, lemonade, and
shakes, Le Dog serves up delicacies
like roast duck with cherry wine
sauce, lobster bisque, pheasant under
styrofoam. The dishes are Le Dog's
specialties and patrons have to call an
hour in advance to get them. For the
other orders, customers simply queue
up outside the fire-engine red food
stand.
"The only difference between The
Bakery and this is that we're 8 feet by
23 feet. (And) the best seat in the
house is always taken. That's mine
and there are no others," says the 38-
year-old Van Dyck-Dobos. Although
Le Dog is much smaller than The

Bakery, Van Dyck-Dobos does not
regret leaving his job there. "I could
be more famous this way," he says.
"Ann Arbor is a small town. Half of
Chicago knew of The Bakery, but in
Ann Arbor, more than half know of Le
Dog. It's being a small fish in a big
pond or a big fish in a small pond. And
I chose the latter," he said.
VAN DYCK-DOBOS WAS initiated
into professional gourmet cooking as
a sophomore in Michigan State
University's hotel and restaurant
management program. "In 1975, I
called up Chef Louis Szathmary (of
The Bakery). I called him up cold on
the phone and asked if he needed
someone in the kitchen. He said he
needed a dishwasher. So I started

ceremony
By PHILIP LEVY
The University has announced that
United Nations Secretary-General
Javier Perez de Cuellar will speak at
next month's graduation ceremonies.
Listeners, however, will be forbidden
from bringing alcohol or carbonated
beverages to the event.
The alchohol ban results from
rowdiness at last year's ceremony,
which featured Governor James
Blanchard as the main speaker.
University officials were dismayed as
students popped champagne corks
and repeatedly interrupted Blan-
chard's speech. Last fall, the ad-
ministration formed a commencemnt
committee to prevent a repeat.
ACCORDING to a University press
release announcing the ban on
alcoholic beverages, "Several unfor-
tunate accidents resulting from the
use of such beverages have marred

Shanty on Diag ruined, rebuilt

By LISA DRESNER
A group of students rebuilt the anti-apartheid
shanty on the Diag yesterday, after an unidentified
man apparently tore down the structure with his
bare hands.
Two students who were on the Diag at 7:30 a.m.
yesterday reported seeing the man destroy the two-
week old shanty built to promote divestment from
companies that do business with South Africa.
ACCORDING to Dave Fletcher, a member of the
Free South Africa Coordinating Committee,
(FSACC), which constructed the shanty, and LSA
freshman Jonathon Heuer, the man would not iden-
tify himself, but continually said, "Plant Depar-

dles maintenance operations at the University.
The man, described as white and in his early 40's,
was not wearing a University uniform and possessed
no tools or University vehicles. He called the shanty
"a piece of shit that I don't want on my University,"
the students said.
Plant department manager Conway Adams
denied any departmental connection to the incident.
He said he would be "surprised and disappointed" if
any workers had destroyed the shanty on their own
