State panel to hold hearing on 'U' racism (Continued from Page 1) Marvin Woods, president of the Black Student Union responded, "I think that publicity isn't the problem. The problem is the r incidents of racism... He's treating publicity as the problem, but it's the issue of racism which is. The two shouldn't be confused." Woods said he hoped the one- time hearing would be part of an ongoing process by the state to help identify and solve racial problems.Y Daily staff writer Eugene Pak contributed to this story The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 2, 1987 - Page 3 Countries react to Soviet offer MOSCOW (AP) - State-run Soviet news media yesterday hailed Mikhail Gorbachev's offer to rid Europe of superpower medium-range nuclear missiles as a 'historic chance" which the United States could not legitimately pass up. "There is the possibility in a short time to free our common European home from a significant share of the nuclear burden," Soviet journalist Tomas Kolesnichenko said on the television program "International Panorama." Broadcast media and the Tass news agency also highlighted statements from foreign leaders backing the new Soviet proposal. The media reaction, similar to previous campaigns to marshal sup - port for Kremlin positions, was clearly designed to put pressure on the United States to respond quickly to the Soviet offer. Also, Western Europeans yester - day welcomed the surprise Soviet offer, saying it was a long-awaited breakthrough to an agreement. Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher of West Germany said it removed "the main obstacle" to an accord. NATO Secretary-General' Lord Carrington called the offer "a substantial step forward." The Danish Foreign Ministry said it was "a good and positive signal." The governments of Britain, France, the Netherlands and Italy were among those which refrained from any quick assessment, saying they wanted time to study the Soviet offer. U.S. Gen. Bernard Rogers, the departing commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, warned against abolishing medium - range nuclear missiles in Europe without making progress on other East-West disarmament issues - a warning echoed elsewhere. Soviet and U.S. arms control negotiators in Geneva scheduled a special session Monday to discuss Gorbachev's appeal that an accord on medium-range missiles be reached "without delay." Sens. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.), and Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), and U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle, all in Geneva to ob - serve the arms talks welcomed the offer.

Couwwcii considers (Continued from Page 1) but would not affect 21 existing fraternities, sororities, co- operatives, and non-residential groups. It was initiated by area residents who say large student groups disrupt the neighborhood by causing noise, litter, and parking problems. The Ann Arbor Planning Commission supported the proposal in January, and city council tentatively approved it fast month. The rezoning will become law if eight of the 11 councilmembers support it again tonight. Eight votes are required for passage instead of a simple majority because several fraternities and sororities filed petitions with the city, protesting the plan. City law requires a three-fourths vote from the council to rezone property if protests are filed from 20 percent of the property owners within 100 feet. According to Councilmember Kathy Edgren (D-Fifth Ward), the council will provide these eight votes. "I anticipate the rezoning will go through," Edgren said. "I p" feel that particular part of town has its share of University-affiliated housing." University Associate Vice President for Student Services Thomas Easthope will also speak out against the plan tonight, according to Seiler. Easthope could not be reached for comment last night. Another top University official - Vice Provost for Information Technology Douglas Van Houweling - supported the rezoning before the Ann Arbor Planning Commission in January. x M VVVVVV S Work at Michigan Telefund City-crime rate jumps in 1986 Broke from Brek (Continued from Page 1) starting any anti-crime initiatives during his two-year term as mayor. But he said he is not sure if the police department needs more officers. "They may need more staff, but I have to be convinced that it would produce an improvement. I'm not sure of that," Pierce said. POLICE officials cited staff 'shortages as a major cause of the crime increase. They have requested 52 additional patrolmen, officers, and administrative assistants in the next city budget, which will be approved by city council this spring. The increased staff would cost around $2.4 million. In a memo accompanying the crime report, Police Chief William Corbett cited figures showing that while Ann Arbor's crime rate has increased 28.5 percent since 1982, the police department has grown by only 3.3 percent. Since Pierce was elected mayor in 1985, the number of police officers and staffers employed by the city has remained at 185, according to Assistant City Administrator Donald Mason. The police department budget has increased slightly - by $501,000 - but Mason attributed the rise to necessary salary increases and equipment costs. MASON pointed out, however, that the mayor does not see the budget before it is presented to city council by the city administrator. The mayor has no more influence over the budget process than any other member of the city council, I UM News in The Daily 764-0552 L I Campus Cinema To Have And Have Not (Howard Hawks, 1944), C2, DBL/7:00 p.m., MLB 3.

Travelers react to Acapulco poverty (Continued from Page 1) Especially by the week's end, some students' compassion wore away. On the last day, one student who asked to be nameless said, "I hate them. I wouldn't give them one cent." In the evenings, as students left the discos for their clean, air- conditioned hotels, the sight of the homeless evoked pity instead of annoyance. "It's depressing to think that each night when we go to sleep in our comfortable hotels so many of them are sleeping in the street," said LSA sophomore Sarah Smith. While lack of shelter brought women and their children onto the sidewalks, signs of malnourishment seemed to explain their begging. Karen Miller, an LSA sophomore, noticed the effects of constant hunger on one Mexican boy. "I looked at a kid and thought he was three or four years old. When I asked him, he said he was seven. It was so sad." Cities prepare for papal visit (AD T% \r.-f ..-. .-.h -tsrtn ir he said. Lunsford said he does not blame Pierce for the staff shortages and increased crime rate. "The reason there hasn't been more money given to the police department has nothing to do with politics," Lunsford said. "I don't think there's been an anti-police bias that has diverted money away from the police department into other programs.". He instead attributed the lack of city money to the loss of federal revenue-sharing funds, which were cut off by Congress last year. Corbett, in his memo, outlined several other reasons for the crime increase: -Ann Arbor's status as an affluent city situated near Detroit and other metropolitan areas, which leads to many crimes being committed by outsiders. -Drug addiction among city criminals, which characterizes repeat offenders. -Jail and prison space shortages throughout Michigan.
