+t 4e iriuuan ai#y Ninety-eight years of editorial freedom Volume XCVI - No. 4 Ann Arbor, Michigan -Tuesday, September 15, 1987 Copyright 1987, The Michigan Daily ay Two top UAC officials resigl Events still to run By STEVE BLONDER The University Activities Center has been rocked by the resignation of two of its senior officers within the last week. President Ann McClendon with- drew from both the University and UAC last Friday citing personal reasons. And last week, Vice-Presi- dent of Promotions Mason Franklin, left the largest student group on campus in favor of other job oppor- tunities. He is currently awaiting an offer from an Ann Arbor advertising firm. Current Vice-President for Fi- nance Jim Speta has been named in- terim president. "I had to drop my classes and you can not be in UAC if you are not a student," McClendon said. But McClendon said she woild "provide support for UAC and serve as a re- source." Until the two positions are filled, the four remaining UAC vice- presidents will work together to see that all scheduled activities go off on schedule, Speta said. He said that it is normal for an organization of UAC's size to have several resignations every year. However, this is the first time that the President has resigned, he said. The UAC Board of Directors is responsible for selecting a new President. The Board of Directors is now made up of Brad Borland and Helen Welford, Student Organization Development Center advisors to UAC; John Brockett, Associate Di- rector of the Michigan Union; and Bill Morgan, Student Organization Accounts Services coordinator; as well as the four remaining student Vice-Presidents.

Reagan: missile agreement unlikely WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan said yesterday the superpowers still face "difficult issues" before reaching'an arms agreement, and the White House cautioned it was unlikely a missile accord or summit date would result from talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze this week. On the eve of Shevardnadze's visit to the White House, Reagan instructed U. S. negotiators to present a new draft treaty on intermediate range forces, known as INF. It calls for elimination of all medium-range nuclear missiles, with a range of about 600 to 3,000 miles, within three years, and abolishing shorter-range misssiles, with a range of about 300 to 600 miles, within one year. The Soviets have proposed a timetable of five years for dismantling medium-range weapons and one year for shorter-range missiles. "WITH these new actions taken by the United States, it is now up to the Soviet Union to demonstrate whether or not it truely wants to conclude a treaty eliminating this class of missiles, " Reagan said in a speech to the National Alliance of Business. ' He said the proposed treaty contained the toughest-ever measures against cheating - a fact the administration cited in minimizing chances for an imminent announcement on a missile accord or superpower summit. Reagan's speech and the new treaty draft set the stage for three days of meetings between Shevardnadze and Secretary of State George Shultz that could be crucial to the fate of the INF agreement. SHULTZ and Shevardnadze will begin with three hours of talks at the State Department today and then go to the White House. There they will sign a previously negotiated agreement to set up "nuclear risk reduction centers" in Moscow and Washington to lower the chance of accidental war. Accompanied by Shultz, Reagan will confer with Shevarnadze in the Cabinet Room and then meet with him over lunch. Shevardnadze and Shultz then will go back to the State Department for more talks, and confer again tomorrow and Thursday. The discussions may be extended to the next week when both attend the special U.N. General Assembly session in New York. In a statement announcing the treaty draft, Reagan said the superpowers "have come a long way" toward an agreement and that a "historic agreement is now within reach." "DIFFICULT issues remain to be resolved, including verefication," the president said. He said the Soviets have agreed in principle to a number or verification requirements, "but have yet to provide some key details." "Further more, some of the details they have provided have not met the test of ensuring verification and confidence in compliance." Reagan ...calls summit unlikely Kaplan to add bar exam review BY LISA GEBAUER Anxious lawyers-to-be now have arnew way to prepare for the dreaded bar exams. The Stanley H. Kaplan Educa- tional Center Ltd. plans to add a bar exam review to its long list of preparatory courses. "All law students take some kind of preparation for the bar exam... Classroom teaching, particularly at a school such as the (University), is not directed toward performance on the bar," said Kathryn Amrhein, the manager of the Ann Arbor Stanley Kaplan Center, whose company is hoping to get a hold on this test preparation market. Locally, the Kaplan Center will face competition however, in its ef- forts to attract students. Any preparatory course is a large invest- ment - classes range from $600 to $800 - and students may want to stay with familiar review courses. such as one offered by the Joseph- son-Kluwer Center in Southfield. For eight years the center has monopolized the market as the only program offering preparation for the Michigan bar. For students planning to practice out of state, the Bar-bri course has been the most popular. "I probably would take Bar-bri rather than risk something new," said Loretta Salzano, a third year law student. Bar-bri also plans to offer a Michigan course this year. o Salzano agrees that bar test See U.S., Page 7 Bork hearings to begin today WASHINGTON (AP) - Sup- porters and opponents of Judge Robert Bork exchanged verbal jabs yesterday on the eve of Senate hearings that will help determine the fate of one of the most pivotal Supreme Court nominations in history. The outcome of the confirmation fight is too close to call. With per- haps a couple of dozen moderates in the Democratic-controlled Senate holding the balance of power. During a speech to a National Alliance of Business audience, Pres- ident Reagan made another pitch for Bork, saying that "too often character assassination has replaced debate in principle here in Washington." "Destroy someone's reputation and you don't have to talk about what he stands for," Reagan said. "Well, I hope Judge Bork's critics will be candid about why they op- pose him and not fabricate excuses for attacking him personally. That way, we can have a full and open debate on an i m p o r t a n t constitutional principle, and when the votes are counted, America will win." The principle that Reagan was referring to was Bork's belief that "laws should goverp our country, and if you want them changed, you should convince the elected leg- islatures to change them, not un- elected judges. This doctrine of jud- icial restraint shouldn't be contro- versial in our democracy, but it is." The American Civil Liverties *Union, which departed from its own traditional neutrality on judicial sel- ectiois to oppose Bork, said the nominee's retreat from rigid con- servatism in recent interviews does not conceal his real views. "He is fundamentally outside the mainstream," said Morton Halperin of the ACLU. Recent interviews only "show how he's trying to backtrack," he said. Halperin said Bork, in extensive writings and speeches during the last See WHITE HOUSE, Page 6 Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON Flag folding University Plant Building Services employees, Cassandra Agrew, left, and Barb Woniewski, pack up the diag's American flag as part of their day's work.
