Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 9, 1986 MSA swears in new By WENDY SHARP Fifty members of the new Michigan Student Assembly crowded into the assembly's chambers -in the Union for a double meeting with the mem- bers of the outgoing assembly. At 10:30 p.m., outgoing MSA President Paul ;Josephson handed the ceremonial chamber key to -his successor, Natural Resources senior Kurt Muenchow. BEFORE the changeover, however, the old assembly approved a resolution adopting the Students Rights Committee's position on the proposed University code for nonacademic con- duct. The resolution states that administration action on the implementation of a code before October 1986 will be considered illegitimate because students "will not be present or adequately infor- med about a particular action." The resolution also states that an accused individual has the right to be prosecuted by the Ann Arbor criminal justice system instead of the University in order to avoid double jeopardy. members The outgoing assembly also stated its opposition to a bill in the Michigan Senate, No. 107, which would empower the Board of Regents to deputize campus security officers. Currently, the Univer- sity pays the city of Ann Arbor $500,000 annually for police protection. The University's Depar- tment of Public Safety for several years sought to create its own force, saying that city officers are often too slow to answer calls and that a full- fledged campus force would save money in the long-run. Students receive recognition awards By JOHN DUNNING Forty-six students and student organizations that have demonstrated growth, development,. and change outside of the classroom received Student Recognition Awards last night at the sixth annual ceremony in the Michigan Union Ballroom. . The students and organizations were chosen from a pool of over 100 rlominees. Winners were selected on 'the basis of their leadership, service, Corrections A story in last Friday's Daily about the arraignment of 40 protesters charged with trespassing at Rep. Carl Pursell's office quoted Jacqueline Hart as saying, "Basically they are pleading guilty to make a statement." Hart actually said the protesters ,pleaded not guilty to make a statement. A story in yesterday's Daily in- correctly said there are 12 members of the Ann Arbor City Council. There are 11 members: 10 councilmembers and the mayor. Intrafraternity Council President Denny Kavanagh is a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. The Daily last Friday incorrectly said that lie was a member of Phi Delta Theta. and innovation, said Terrance Brown, chairman of the awards selection committee and associate director of the Comprehensive Studies/Oppor- tunity Program. The selection com- mittee consisted of 10 students and faculty members. THE UNIVERSITY presents the awards to show their appreciation for student contributions to the Univer- sity community, Brown said. Students received awards for their achievements in seven categories, which included peer counseling, arts and theater, social and political con- cerns, cultural programs, student ac- tivity programs, campus governmen- ts, and original service projects. "By making this commitment to the community and others, you have also enriched yourselves," said University President Harold Shapiro to the honorees. Seventeen students and organizations that made especially significant contributions to the University received special recognition plaques. They included: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and the Galen's Medical Society, both charit- able organizations; the Hispanic Law Student Association; the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program; School of Education Senior Theresa Bassett; graduate students Ruby Beale, Reginald Franklin, Catherine Maternowski, and Lundeana Thomas; LSA seniors Francene John- son, Allan Lutes, and Myron Marlin; art school senior Karla Groesbeck; LSA freshman Charlotte Levy; LSA junior Brian Negrini; and Engineering junior Mary Sturkey. Mandea may not get degree (Continued from Page 1) deny that Wallenberg or Mandela were turned down, saying that the board never releases the names of people it considered unless they are offered the degree, and they accept. Delgado speculated that the University may give a degree to another South African activist such as Mandela's wife, Winnie Mandela, or 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner Bishop Desmond Tutu. But Delgado said that Tutu and Winnie Mandela may also be unable to come to Ann Arbor to receive the honor. Winnie Mandela, he said, could be denied an exit visa or, if she is allowed to leaved South Africa, she might not be allowed to return. TUTU, WHO spoke in Detroit recen- tly, could also be denied an exit visa, particulary after he called for economic sanctions against South Africa in a speech last week. The ac- tion violates South African law. Delgado said that if the University gives the degree to another South African activist, members of FSACC would not protest, but they would con- tinue urging that Mandela be honored. Peter Afflick, a graduate student in chemical engineering and a member of FSACC, also said yesterday that members of FSACC have resumed staying with the shanty on the Diag. Students slept in the wooden struc- ture during a national "Two Weeks of Action Against Apartheid," but stop- ped Friday at the end of the cam- paign. The shanty was set afire twice over the weekend, and Monday mor- ning it was torn apart by an uniden- tified man. Students reconstructed it Monday afternoon.

Germany to apply sanctions against Libya BONN, West Germany - The United States, citing the bombing of a West Berlin nightclub frequented by U.S. servicemen, has stepped up pressure on West Germany to apply wide-ranging sanctions against Libya, government sources said yesterday. Washington is demanding that West Germany at the very least drastically reduce its diplomatic ties to Libya by expelling most Libyan diplomats from Bonn, the West German sources said. The Bild newspaper reported the Cabinet today would consider whether to expel two Bonn-based Libyan diplomats in connection with the Satur- day bombing, which killed an American serviceman and a Turkish woman and injured 230 other people, including 64 Americans. The newspaper also said it had information from "reliable security of- ficials" that Elamin Abdullah Elamin, a 47-year-old Libyan assigned to the Libyan Embassy in East Berlin, was under suspicion in the nightclub bombing. Reagan sets U.S.-Soviet talks WASHINGTON - President Reagan and outgoing Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin yesterday set up a top-level meeting for mid-May to lay the groundwork for the still unscheduled superpower summit this year. Secretary of State George Shultz, briefing reporters on the one hour 15 minute Oval Office meeting between Reagan and Dobrynin, said no date ' was set for the president's second summit with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Dobrynin's visit to the 'Oval Office was officially a farewell call marking his return to Moscow after 24 years as ambassador to take up a top-level Communist Party Central Committee foreign affairs post. The meeting was scheduled for 15 minutes, but went on for an hour longer. Shultz said the fact that it was extended "speaks volumes," and White House spokesman Larry Speakes said the two men had "a lot to talk about." Midland plant to be converted JACKSON, Mich. - The Consumers Power Co. board of directors yesterday unanimously backed a plan to resurrect the defunct Midland nuclear power plant by converting it into a gas-fired electrical generating station. The project, the first phase of which would span four years at a cost of $434 million, was unveiled Monday by Consumers executives. Immediately following the unanimous board action, Consumers filed a request with the Public Service Commission to remove a provision in a 1985 rate increase which prevents the company from spending any more money on the Midland without prior PSC approval. If the provision is removed, Consumers is expected to seek a rate in- crease of 25 percent phased in over five years to cover the expense of the conversion as well as losses on the nuclear plant project. This would sub- stitute for a pending request seeking a 19 percent increase covering nuclear plant losses only. Reagan's bid for Contra aid -s gains momentum in Congress WASHINGTON - President Reagan's bid to provide $100 million in aid to Nicaragua's Contra rebels has gained momentum in Congress because the Sandinista government shattered hopes for a negotiated settlement, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole said yesterday. The White House blamed "intransigence" by the leftist Sandinista government in Managua for the collapse of talks among 13 Latin American foreign ministers as part of the Contadora peace-making ef- fort. But three House Democrats who oppose the Contra aid plan said their just-concluded mission as observers to the Contadora talks in Panama City, Panama, left them convinced that Latin American nations do not support U.S. military assistance to the Nicaraguan coun- terrevolutionaries. "Literally everyone we spoke to, without exception, was clear, strong and unambiguous in his disapproval of the United States support for the Contras," Rep. Michael Barnes (D-Md.) chairman of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee. Dole, however, said the failure of the negotiations should erode op- position to providing the Contras $70 million in weapons and $30 million in logistical support. Lebanese car bomb kills 10 JOUNIEH, Lebanon - A car bomb exploded in the main square of this Christian port while it was packed with lunch-hour crowds yesterday, killing at least 10 people and wounding 110. The blue BMW sedan blew up only 50 yards from offices of President Amin Gemayel's Phalange Party, set 25 cars ablaze and damaged buildings 500 yards away. It was the latest in a series of bombings in Christian areas since mid-January. In south Lebanon, a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden car into a checkpoint manned by Israeli-backed militiamen, killing himself and wounding six people Lebanon's state radio reported. It was the first I suicide bombing reported this year in what Israel calls its security zone. Radios reported 16 people were killed in the Chouf Mountain village of Bsaba, southeast of Beirut, in a clan feud between Sunni Moslems and Druse warriors from rival villages. Prime Minister Rashid Karami, a Sunni Moslem opposed to the Maronite Catholic president, called the Jounieh bombing "treacherous" and declared: "It's always the innocent people who are the victims." Youssef Bitar, the top police explosives expert, said about 165 pounds of explosives were packed inside the sedan.
