4 Page 2 -- The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 13, 1987 MTS users debate 'bad jokes' (Continued from Page 1) encouraged the organizers and planners of the Meet Students conference to take action on their own to resolve the problem. On April 1, Todd Bakal, creator of the "bad jokes" category permanently froze the item so that no further entries could be made. Doug Van Houweling, vice provost for Information Tech- nology, has since created an item which outlines the University's stance in such cases. The item states: "Computer conferences provide a vehicle through which the University's committment can be realized because they convene a broad cross- section of the community... Abusive or insensitive language, even in items with humorous intent, could impede the com- munity's progress and damage the social fabric on which we all depend." The planners and organizers of Meet Students have set up alternative items for participants to express their opinions on the matter. Over the past two weeks participants have engaged in a voluminous disussion, pondering the freedoms and limits of the conference mechanism. The discussion is far from over. While the "bad jokes" item is dead, there is nothing to prevent the birth of a replacement. Meanwhile, the debate rages on. Jerigan may veto pay equity move (Continued from Page 1) Ward) asked City Attorney Bruce Laidlaw whether weekends are included in the 72 hour grace period. According to council rules, the 72-hour period does not include Sundays and holidays. To override a mayoral veto, the council must have a majority of eight votes. On election night, Jernigan said he did not think he would need to use his veto power because he plan - ned on working with the Democrats to reach solutions to problems. Since Jernigan will be sworn in at tonight's city council meeting, he will be mayor before the 72-hour period expires. Jernigan said he opposes hiring the pre-consultant, which would cost about $8,000, because he thinks the existing commission should be able to handle the study without outside help. He said he will speak to other Republicans about the matter before deciding whether to veto the resolution. Councilmember Kathy Edgren (D-Fifth Ward) said members of the Democratic caucus plan to get him to change his mind. Edgren said Jernigan is being inconsistent, since his campaign stressed the importance of taking the advice of the administrators and department heads. She said Mayor Pierce is planning on returning today at noon to sign the contract with the pre- consultant to make the resolution official, and hopefully prevent any veto action tonight.

State 662-9665 IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Shultz prepares responses to, arms control negotiations HELSINKI, Finland - Secretary of State George Shultz met with dozen U.S. arms control advisers yesterday to ready his response to new Soviet overtures that might bring the Reagan administration closer to its first arms control agreement. Limited by President Reagan in other nuclear areas, Shultz hopes tp clear a major obstacle to a treaty to rid Europe of medium-range mis siles in talks opening today in Moscow. The barrier is the presence in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and th Soviet Union of 130 shorter-range rockets that the United States and it North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies want the right to match. In two speeches, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev offered to nego - tiate a solution while the two sides complete an agreement to eliminat their other medium-range missiles from Europe. Archdiocese recruits priests DETROIT - The Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit is looking t, collar a few good men, using an advertising campaign that says: "Th work is hard. But the rewards are infinite." The archdiocese is launching its first major ad campaign to reverse the trend that has seen its number of priests drop to 1,010 last year from 1,344 in 1966, said the Rev. Gary Bueche, archiocesan vocation director. The campaign includes 30-second television commercials as well as billboard, newspaper, and magazine ads, said Annette Merritt- Cummings, who helped develop the blitz for the NW Ayer ad agency. "Obviously, we're going for men 18-34," she said. "We're trying to create the awareness that this is a rewarding career or life-style." Derailment causes evacuation PITTSBURGH - A tanker carrying deadly chemicals was one of the 34 railroad cars that toppled off the tracks when a Conrail freight train en route to Chicago derailed and plowed into another freight train headed in the opposite direction Saturday afternoon. No serious injuries had been reported by Sunday, although 14 people were treated at hospitals for breathing problems immediately after the derailment. People living within 2.6 miles of the accident were advised to leave their homes immediately, but were allowed back six hours later after the leak was plugged. Shortly after midnight, the chemical began seeping again from the tanker, and East End residents were awakened by wailing sirens and police bullhorns. By daybreak approximately 16,000 people had been evacuated. UAW states contract concerns CHICAGO - United Auto Workers union President Owen Bieber sounded a war cry yesterday outlining the six major concerns, led by loss of U.S. jobs, that union negotiators will bring to the bargaining table this summer in contract talks with the nation's two top auto - makers. The six main concerns were job and income security; dependence of U.S. automakers on foreign parts and labor; wage increass; early retire - ment programs; reduction of overtime; and "increased corporate accoun - tability" through more attractive domestic pricing policies and legis - lation to control trade and prevent plant closings in the United States. Bieber also demanded that the automakers "back off from pressuring communities for tax concessions under threat Qffplant closings," EXTRAS Crook cashes in at wrong time GARLAND, Texas (AP) - A bank teller first laughed, then had his boss call police after a customer came up to his window trying to cas.. a check that had been stolen from the teller. "I thought, 'This guy has the worst luck in the world." teller Jerry Sattler said Friday. He was working at the drive-in window of MBank Garland in this Dallas suburb Tuesday when a man drove up and sasked him to cash a check. It was one of Sattler's personal checks that had recently been stolen from his brother's vehicle. Because the man didn't have an account at the bank, Sattler asked him for his driver's license, and the man complied. "I started laughing," Sattler said. "And then I called my boss and she called the police." By the time police arrived the man had left, and police asked Sattler if he could identify him. "I said, 'Yeah, there's no problem with that,"' Sattler recalled, because he still had the driver's license. The 35-year-old suspect was booked into Garland City Jail on. Friday for investigation of forgery. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
