Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 25, 1986 Man shot by East Germans at Wall BERLIN (AP) - East German border guards fired dozens of shots yesterday at a young man trying to climb over the Berlin Wall to the West and he fell to the ground covered with blood, Western authorities said. They said he probably died. Another East German succeeded yesterday in escaping to the West by setting out on a raft into the Baltic Sea, where he was picked up by a passing ship, West German police said. The 36-year-old man on the raft identified himself as a nephew of Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler, Com- unist Germany's propaganda chief and the leading commentator on state-run television, sources told the Associated Press. A West Berlin witness to the wall shooting reported hearing shouts of "Halt, stand still," followed 30 to 50 shots on the eastern side of the wall at about 1:30 a.m., West Berlin police said. The witness said he saw someone climb to the top of the wall, then collapse and fall back into East German territory, accord - ing to police. "I got you, you pig," an East German border guard shouted at the bloodied form sprawled on the ground, police said. They said the man was covered with a tarpaulin and carried away. In Bonn, the Intra-German Relations Ministry issued a state - ment saying the would-be escapee was a man and was "probably killed." Police spokesmen in West Berlin also told the Associated Press the man most likely was dead. Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY The Deer Hunter Dave Hodgkinson of Flint hunts in a woods in Gladwin.

Offical challenges Reagan (Continued from Page 1) A department official, speaking on condition he not be identified, said the United States was initially unsure who was responsible for some of the recent kidnappings because a group unknown to terror- ism experts - the Revolutionary Justice Organization - had claimed responsibility. Subsequently, the department has received "pretty good" infor- mation that pro-Iranian factions are behind the kidnappings, the official said. DURING HIS testimony to the House panel, Whitehead lashed out against the National Security Council for masterminding the secret contacts with Iran, which led to the sales of arms. "We in the State Department find it difficult to cope with the National Security Council's opera- tional activities," he testified. Whitehead said the department wel- comes the council's advisory role. "But when they become involved in operational matters we have concerns, particularly when we don't know about them," he testified. In Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres tried yesterday to defuse pressure on the Israeli government to disclose its role in shipping U.S. arms to Iran, promising to report to a watchdog subcommittee in Parliament. He flatly refused, however, to give information about any Iranian arms deal when he appeared before the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee. City council discusses housing code reform IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS British bank leaves S. Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Barclays Bank of Britain, citing financial and political pressure, said yesterday it sold its last shares in its South African affiliate for about $230 million. It was the biggest divestment yet by a foreign company. A consortium of South African companies signed the deal last week to buy Barclays' shares in Barclays National Bank of South Africa, the country's largest commercial bank. "The Barclays PLC sale of shares must have an impact on the South African economy. It is certainly not a perilous matter, but it is cause for serious concern in terms of psychological impact," Basil Hersov, chairman of Barclays National, told a news conference. The London-based Barclays Bank PLC once owned 100 percent of the local affiliate but since 1973 had reduced its share to 40.4 percent. Its final pullout is the first by a major British company but follows withdrawal by numerous American companies, most recently General Motors, Kodak and IBM. Ford,VW to join in S. America DETROIT - Ford Motor Co. and Volkswagen A.G. will join forces in Brazil and Argentina as a new, jointly operated and managed $4 billion company called Autolatina, Ford said yesterday. The venture, already approved by both automakers' boards, will be formed once agreements for the deal are completed and signed, probably in mid-1987, Ford spokesman Peter Olsen said. Volkswagen will own 51 percent of Autolatina and Ford will own 49 percent, Olsen said. Together, Ford and Volkswagen had $4 billion in sales in both countries last year and operate 15 plants capable of producing 900,000 vehicles a year with 75,000 employees. "This would maintain the identity and unique image of both Volkswagen and Ford trademarks with VW and Ford products continuing to be sold and serviced through existing separate dealer networks in both countries," Ford President Harold Poling said. "The main objectives of the venture would be to ensure continual updating of technology, higher operational efficiencies and better use of Voters should decide state- paid abortions, Mansour says LANSING - Outgoing Social Services Director Agnes Mansour said yesterday she doesn't object to putting state-paid abortions before voters as a way of settling a dispute over cutting off Medicaid payments to health-care providers. "My personal feeling would be I remain open to it. I think it would have to be broad-based," she told a news conference. "I think it ought to also be in a regular election. Costs would be equivalent to what the cost is right now in paying for abortions." The debate over state-paid abortions has left Michigan without a Medicaid budget. Money began running out last week to pay for abortions or any other medical service for the 900,000 people who depend on Medicaid. Supreme Court upholds rules for teacher certification LANSING - Church-operated schools in Michigan lost a battle to overthrow the yoke of state regulation yesterday when the state Supreme Court upheld rules requiring all teachers to be certified. But the high court's 3-3 split caused optimism in spokesmen for the two Saginaw County Baptist churches which filed the lawsuit. "I think that the decision demonstrates there is a real question as to the constitutionality of the Michigan statute," said the Rev. Rene Ouellette of the First Baptist Church of Bridgeport. "While we would have preferred a 4-3 majority or a 4-2 victory, this certainly is a better decision than many people expected we would receive." "I'm encouraged by the fact that half the court agreed with the liberties of the schools and a majority didn't disagree," said William Ball, a Pennsylvania attorney representing Sheridan Road Baptist Church of Saginaw. Floods strand 1,000 skiers SNOQUALMIE, Wash. - Flooding caused by heavy rain and melting snow forced dozens of families from their homes yesterday and blocked the only highway to a mountain resort where about 1,000 weekend skiers were stranded. Flooding and mudslides cut off railroads east and west of Seattle, one by a mudslide that cut a 300-foot-deep gap through 60 feet of track. Water and a slide also closed Interstate 90, the state's major east-west highway, for part of the day. Officials declared emergencies in King County, around Seattle, and in Lewis County south of Tacoma. Several towns also declared emergencies. One firefighter was killed yesterday when he was hit by a train while helping evacuate a nursing home threatened by flooding. Plans had been made to airlift skiers off Mount Baker, near the Canadian border north of Seattle, but Neil Clement, spokesman for the Whatcom County Department of Emergency Services, said yesterday that apparently wasn't necessary. cA AiCtgun Uial Vol. XCVII-- No.59 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms.

Notices are not given on violations, Goode said, adding that repair work is hasty and shoddy. "It's very important that people understand what the official city status is of their homes," Goode said. Goode said the department has lost files of specific violations and the city clerk's office doesn't have any rules or regulations on file from the department. CITY councilmembers agreed that a Building Department's housing code, is not well enforced, for example rental units do not meet standards which the city code is supposed to enforce. Councilmember Seth Hirshorn (D-Second Ward) said the city must enforce their policies because the same houses are on the market year after year. Following presentations from local groups, one local landlord appeared at the meeting to endorse the proposal to enforce housing codes. David Ross, an owner of one unit, said he hates hearing complaints from tenants about the quality of housing, and urged the council to "put some teeth" into its enforcement of the housing codes.

ASIDE FROM visiting and phoning high school students, University ambassadors also host students from more than 88 high schools in Michigan, especially from the Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw, and Bay City areas. Vanhecke said, "This is where our efforts are, where they begin, right here, and not with financial aid office, nor Vice-President (James) Duderstadt, or Niara Sudarkasa (associate vice-president for academic affairs), but here on a grass-roots level, with students getting involved." Both Vanhecke and Sudarkasa have said student involvement in Cnrr(tifnn recruitment is important. "Not many counselors and teachers in this state have graduated from U of M," said Vanhecke. "(And) a lot of high school teachers and counselors may think U of M is too tough for minority students or even majority students. Students have been told that U of M is too tough, and that they should not apply." THIS IS what happened to Michelle Johnson, a University junior majoring in psychology. Johnson, who went to Kingswood, a private school in a Detroit suburb, originally attended UCLA because her high school counselor said the University would be too tough.
