Police department liaison to U' dies The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 11, 1986 - Page 3 French hostages reported freed By MELISSA BIRKS The Ann Arbor Police officer who served as the University's liaison died Sunday evening. Captain Kenneth Klinge suffered a major heart attack and was pronounced dead on arrival at the University Hospital. He was 50 years old. Klinge headed a special services division for the 29 years he served on the police force. His division coordinated patrolling University land and buildings, and the University paid a portion of his salary. His replacement has not yet been chosen. KLINGE oversaw scheduling security and traffic control at foot- ball games and major University events requiring extra workers, according to Bob Pifer, assistant director of public safety. Klinge even traveled with the football team in his role as security coordinator for the games, which often draws a crowd of 105,000 fans. The Ann Arbor police has patrol officers on call around-the-clock to respond to campus calls. University Public Safety officers are not authorized to make, arrests, carry guns, or collect evidence in crim- inal investigations. Pifer said Klinge worked with Public Safety officers to "decide a plan of action" for problem crime areas on campus, such as the Arboretum. "We worked very closely with him; he'll be missed," Pifer said. IN ADDITION to his job at the police department, Klinge worked for several Ann Arbor organizations. He was an active member of the Salvation Army's Advisory Board for nearly 20 years. According to Col. Harold Corwell, the Salvation Army's community relations officer, Klinge was the Chairman of the Board during their "Capital Campaign," which earned more than $1 million seven years ago. The money helped fund the construction of the Citadel Building, Salvation Army head- quarters, on Huron street. Klinge was a motivating force for the police department's Salvation Army bell ringing cam- paign every Christmas. According to Corwell, 35 different organ- izations ring bells on the Friday before Christmas, but the police department was "always top" in the amount of money raised. Klinge's death "is one of the greatest losses to the Salvation Army," Corwell said. Klinge was also involved in the Ann Arbor chapter of the Boy Scouts of America. For 19 years, he worked with the "Explorers" program, which gives the scouts on-hand experience with careers such as law enforcement. Klinge was a leader on the "Police Post" division, according to Joyce Leslie, office manager at the Boy Scouts of America headquarters in Ann Arbor. BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Two anonymous telephone callers to Beirut newspapers said yesterday night that two French hostages had been freed by their Moslem kidnappers, but the reports could not be confirmed. One of the callers indicated the captives might be taken to Damascus, Syria, and reliable sources in the Syrian capital said the freed hostages had arrived there and identified them as Marcel Coudari and Camille Sontag. One of the two communiques distributed earlier yesterday by the Revolutionary Justice Organization said some of the group's French hostages would be freed within 48 hours as a goodwill gesture made possible by Algerian and Syrian mediation. The group, believed to be composed of Shiite Moslems, claimed that France had made promises on unspecified demands. SHORTLY BEFORE midnight an anonymous telephone caller told the independent Beirut newspaper An-Nahar that two French hostages had been freed in Moslem west Beirut's Ramlet al- Baida residential district at 7:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. EST). The second communique signed by the Revolutionary Justice Organization said the release would take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Hotel Beaurivage in Ramlet al-Baida near the headquarters of Syrian army officers, but reporters at the hotel said no hostages had appeared there. At 7:55 p.m., French Diplomat Guy Letrange arrived at the hotel with three bodyguards in a bullet- proof green Peugot embassy car. A bodyguard stepped out and told reporters French Ambassador Christian Graeff had instructed them to take delivery of any freed hostages. "We will wait," said the man, who identified himself as Jean- Claude la Bourdette, the head of Graeff's bodyguards. THE LEFTIST Beirut newspaper As-Safir reported late yesterday that it had received a telephone call from a person claiming to speak for the Revolutionary Justice Organization and it said he asked if the paper had received the report from An-Nahar. As-Safir said an editor told the caller, "Yes we did. But can you tell us the names?" of the hostages. It said the caller, speaking Arabic, replied, "Not right away. You will know tomorrow. Go take their pictures in Damascus." Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY Mad and embarrassed LSA Junior Julie Sucher smokes and reads Mad magazine on her break outside Blue Front.

(Continued from Page 1)'f remains below the University's goal of 10 percent black enroll- ment. "Despite declining black enroll- ment nationwide," said Sudarkasa in a news release, "we at Michigan have reversed the downward trend." Robert Eckstein, a research analyst in the Office of Affirmative Action, said, "We may not be zipping along...but are definitely bucking a state and national trend" for black enrollment. MUCH of the overall increase comes from increased minority freshperson enrollment which is the highest (699 students) it has been since 1983. All minority groups showed increased freshperson enroll- ment, particularly for black students whose numbers rose by 38 students to reach the highest level (271 students) since 1978. "I'm very pleased with undergraduate admissions," said Sudarkasa, "every year we're enrolling an increasingly larger number of minority (freshperson). But we must also pay attention to the rate of persistence and gradua- tion." Sudarkasa said that one reason Asian enrollment is growing so rapidly compared to other minority groups is that the percentage of Asian students obtaining a degree within six years-the retention rate-has been high. SHE SAID "the University should continue to provide neces- sary support services" for students already enrolled. In addition, Sudarkasa said that in the coming year, special efforts will have to be made to enroll more Native American students, who have remained at about 0.4 percent of the student population since 1978. While undergraduate minority enrollment increased from 11.5 percent to 12.5 percent of the entire undergraduate population, graduate minority enrollment in Rackham dropped from 13.2 to 12.3 percent. Much of this drop comes from the decline in black graduate enrollment from 5.1 (213 students) to 4.2 percent (178 students). Black enrollment in Rackham has de- creased each year since 1975 when 654 blacks enrolled. Both the University and the state are addressing declining graduate school enrollment by establishing new scholarship and fellowship programs. wIAA A- 't .1 WHITE MARKET DR PEPPER p1.59g I/six pack of cans plus deposit 609 E.
