Dens expect SCongress "vic tories WASHINGTON (AP)- One of the most expensive, negative, and unfocused campaigns in memory will likely leave the House of Representatives pretty much the way it is now, solidly Democratic. Both parties have predicted an overall gain for the Democrats of as many as 10 seats in the chamber where they already hold a 253-180 majority. A gain of that size, however, would be a departure from recent political history, which has seen much larger losses in off-year elections for the party in control of the White House. So both sides are poised to call such an outcome a victory. Democratic incumbents are un - contested in 53 districts nationwide, and are rated as solid favorites in at least 184 others, which would auto - matically put them well over the 218 seats needed for control. Sixteen Republicans have free rides to re-election, and GOP can - didates are likely victors in another 112 districts. Most of the attention nationally was focused on the Senate races. Republicans hold a 53-47 edge in the current Senate, but are defending 22 of the 34 seats on the ballot. The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 4, 1986- Page 3 Committee urges watchdog panel for classified research By MARTIN FRANK The Research Policies Comm- ittee unanimously passed an amendment yesterday to urge the University to set up a committee that would make sure the proposed guidelines for classified research are followed. The amendment is a result of the displeasure of many RPC members with the proposed guidelines' elimination of review panels. The current guidelines provide for two review panels-the RPC and the Classified Review Panel-and were reviewed by an ad hoc committee appointed by University President Harold Shapiro. THE AMENDMENT, in effect, "will formulate review procedures to monitor compliance with the policies of the majority report." The majority report was signed by nine of the 12 members of the ad hoc committee. It would eliminate a clause that forbids classified research that could kill or maim humans, and it would do away with the review panels. The minority report, signed by three committee members, proposed the elimination of research guidelines in order to protect academic freedom. Yesterday the RPC rejected that proposal. RPC CHARIMAN George Carignan said, "We need to oversee a review panel that can work. The current enforcement mechanism doesn't start to work until after the contract has started." Many RPC members supported Carignan's call for a review committee, including RPC member and student activist Ingrid Kock, who said the absence of a review panel removes students from the enforcement mechanism. Some members of Shapiro's ad hoc committee, however, do not see the need for enforcement mechanisms, which is why they left enforcement up to department heads, project directors, deans, and the Division of Research and Development Administration. The committee and other groups on campus have until the end of fall semester to give their recommendations to Wilson. She said the regents will vote on the research guidelines next semester. The faculty's Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs decided in its meeting yesterday to bring before the assembly a motion to adopt research policies based upon the majority report and have the RPC monitor implementation and operation of the policy, according to SACUA representative Daniel Moerman. The motion will be brought before the assembly at its next meeting which is scheduled for Nov. 17. Daily staff writer Dov Cohen filed a report for this story.

(Continued from Page 1) the vote." IMPAC sent about 40 students to Illinois in 1984 to campaign for Democrat Paul Simon in his race against Republican incumbent Senator Charles Percy. Simon went on to defeat Percy by less than a percentage point, and Goldenberg, who now works for Simon, says IMPAC played a role in putting him in office. BOTH Goldenberg and Parness say one striking'feature of IMPAC is that it Xpows no party boundaries. "The best part is that you have Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, independents, and everyone else agreeing on a single issue that is very important," says Goldenberg. The educational impact is also important, according to Goldenberg. She says it teaches people about the importance of pro-Israel activity and also educates people who do not know about the issue. A problem that arises with groups of this sort, however, is that they focus on one issue so much that they ignore all the others. Goldenberg admits there are problems with "single-issue PACs."

THE PROPOSED council would be charged with monitoring the quality of the freshman and sophomore years and coming up with new courses and proposals to improve those years. Money for improvements may be there for the asking. Vice President for Academic Affairs James Duderstadt has recently come out strongly in support of LSA in both speeches and budget allocations, but LSA Dean Peter Steiner said, "I don't think it's a simple matter to decide how to utilize such additional funds." The proposal did not clearly define the exact make-up and duties of the committee and the discussion, led by Steiner, was somewhat reminiscent of a student coming unprepared to class. Faculty members continually pressed Steiner on questions such as how committee members would be appointed, whether students would be on the committee, whether faculty members would be compensated for their time, and how large the committee would be. "We have not thought a great deal about the structure," Steiner responded. Steiner said he had brought the proposal to the meeting to "get a feel for the faculty sentiment about the sensibility of the initiative." Faculty members were reluctant to back the proposal, which they called vague. "I see a blank document. I don't know what the nature of the council is going to be," said English Prof. Eric Rabkin. Rabkin led the group of faculty members who flatly opposed the plan. cordially invites ALL RESIDENTS to a QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION With Housing B *Questions Administrators. 3ring Your *Concerns *Comments *Suggestions to the East Quad Auditorium Tuesday, November 4 7:00pm to 9:00pm doors open at 6:30 .51 CI - - - "- " Get Ready for Winter! $000 to$15"Oi PILE LINED COLD WEATHER 7 BOOTS' Seniors Don' t Parnic'!
