By DOV COHEN
Dick Chrysler, owner of Cars and
Concepts and a leading candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial
nomination, told an audience of about
35 students in Hale Auditorium that he
would run the government like a
business.
"The government is big business.
Businesses aren't buildings or
machines or equipments. Businesses
are people and if you can get people
motivated and excited, you can create
miracles," he said.
ONE OF his goals would be to enact
workman's compensation reforms to
give the state "a job climate."
"Workman's compensation's
alleged reforms just nibble at the cor-
ners....They're not true reforms," he
said.
"Forty-nine other states have good
workman's compensation laws. It's
time we look at the other 49 and pick
one in the middle."
Chrysler went on to blast the single
business tax, saying "When we in-
crease taxes we drive jobs out of the
state. It's a disaster. It's a
Washington mentality."
CHRYSLER said he is more
qualified than his opponents to create
jobs because of his business experien-
ce.
After the speech, he said: "James
Blanchard is grinning up there
thinking he only has to run against
(Republican Wayne County
Executive) Bill Lucas. He doesn't-
want to run against Dick Chrysler,
who has no voting record, who is a
self-made man, who has created
jobs," he said.
Chrysler said his popularity is in-
creasing. "We did a benchmark poll
in January and we had 6 percent and
Lucas had 35 percent," he said. "We
did one again in March and now we
have 41 percent and Lucas had 27 per-
cent."
One of the reasons Chrysler may
have made so much progress is that
he is running "a full campaign
through the (August) primary and in-
to the general election."
Apologizing for being 25 minutes
late, Chrysler said, "We hit 42 cities
last week, 5 today, and 7 tomorrow."
Chrysler says the reason he is run-
ning his primary campaign at such a
breakneck speed is to "bring more
people into the Republican primary.
We want 800,000 voters in the
Republican primary so we can get 1.6
million in the general election," he
said.

...wants efficiency
Awards push to keep Ojibwa at 'U'
By EVE BECKER
There aren't many people who still speak Ojib-
wa, but there may be even fewer if the University
discontinues its tradition of teaching the Indian
language.
Native American representatives from the
Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Ottawa tribes
gathered in the Fleming Administration Building
yesterday to pressure administrators into con-
tinuing theUniversity's program as they com-
memorated the 12th year the University has
taught the language.
THE representatives presented awards to
University President Harold Shapiro, Vice
President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye, and
Ojibwa elder and native speaker Hap McCue for
their past support of the language.
The ceremony was timed to coincide with the
14th Annual Ann Arbor Pow Wow, which will take
place this weekend. It was also intended to put
public pressure on the University to continue the
program if Richard Rhodes, who is teaching the
course of 30 students this year, gets a job at
another university.
Native Americans believe their language is the
heart of their culture, said Bill Church, an Ottawa
nation leader and executive director of the
Michigan Commission of Indian Affairs.
"WE ARE proud this establishment has a
program to enable our young to learn what the
language is," Church said. He recalled when he
used to get in trouble for speaking English -
"The other language."
Since the University's linguistics department
was dismantled last year, the Ojibwa course
has been absorbed into the American Culture
program. Rhodes, the only Ojibwa teacher at the
University, said he is not happy with the switch,
and he lamented the decline in quality that led to
the end of the linguistics department. "What was
once a very high-ranking department fell way,
way down," he said.
Michigan's Native American population has
skyrocked in the past 15 years, from 10,000 in 1971
to 60,000 today. There are about 75 Native
American students at the University.
Three tribes gave the University its start in 1817
when they gave up 2,000 acres of land for the in-
stitution that became the University.
James McIntosh, director of the American
Culture program, said the future of the Ojibwa
course "is very up in the air." He said Rhodes has
not received a reply from the University of Califor-
nia-Berkeley, where he has applied for a position
in linguistics with a speciality in American Indian
language.
'U' fights state law requiring S. African divestment
By KERY MURAKAMI
Attorneys for the University and the
state presented their arguments
yesterday to a Michigan Court of Ap-
peals over whether the state can
require the University to completely
divest its holdings in companies that
do business in South Africa.
The University's stock portfolio
currently includes $500,000 in South
Africa-related investments. That
figure is 1 percent of the $50 million
the University had invested in co-
mpanies that do business in South
Africa in 1983, when the Board of
Regents voted for divestment.
THE REGENTS kept the $500,000,
they said, to have a legal basis for
challenging a state law that they saw
violates the University's con-
stitutional right to autonomy. The
law, passed in 1978, requires all
public universities to divest com-
pletely.
The brief challenging the law, filed
by University attorney Roderick
Doan, says, "The constitutional
history of Michigan reveals a clear
public intent to insulate the Univer-
sity of Michigan from legislative in-
terference."
The brief quotes a provision of the
state constitution which says, "Each
(university) board shall have general
supervision of its institutions and the
control and direction of all expen-
ditures fromthe institution's funds."
Attorneys for the state, however,
say the University's autonomy per-
tains to its "education functions," not
its investments.
In the first round of the dispute last
summer, Ingham County Circuit
Court Judge Caroline Stell ruled in
favor of the state because the law
requiring divestment did not usurp
the regents' authority over the
"educational sphere" of the Univer-
sity.
Regents yesterday wouldn't com-
ment on whether the University will
divest its remaining investments af-
ter the suit is settled.
