Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Monday, September 21, 1987 4 Festifall shows off 'U' activities IN BRIEF Compiled fom Associated ress reports By STEVEN FELDMAN The University exhibited its diversity on Friday when Festifall claimed the Diag. A sampling of groups, activities, and organizations - from fraternities to sports teams to religious organizations - were "represented. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., students crowded the Diag seeking informa- tibn from more than 50 tables and m booths. For some of these groups, a table at Festifall is the best way to encourage participation. L"We anticipate getting more new members through (Festifall) than through any other of our advertise- ments around campus," said James Marks, a University alumnus work- ing at the table for Tae Kwon Do, an Asian martial art. WEEKEND MAGAZINE Fridays in The Daily 763-0379 But, like any catalyst for argu- ment and debate, Festifall reflected controversy. The U.S. A r m y recruiting table stood right next to the table for the Michigan Alliance for Disarmament. Tables promoting peace in Central America faced tables promoting democracy in Central America. Steve Willason, a graduate stu- dent in architecture and member of Brothers and Sisters in Christ, said increased interest in the organization points to a return towards so-called traditional values. Willason, referring to several re- ligious groups represented at the event, said, "People are looking for meaning in their lives in response to problems like drugs and alcohol." Many of the tables were com- prised of minority interest groups. Darshan Vyas, an LSA senior and president of the Indian-American Association, said such groups are instrumental in promoting the un- derstanding of the many minorities at the University. "Many of our activities and pre- sentations present material that is not taught in the classroom," he said. Staff members of the University Health Services had the largest dis- play, with nine tables of information and exhibits. Along with tables on medical concerns, health services sponsored a first at Festifall - a table on Safe Sex and AIDS, com- plete with a goldfish bowl full of free condoms. Polly Paulson, the AIDS educa- tion coordinator, estimated that by the end of the day she had distributed some 400 maize-and-blue, pink-and- green, and plain condoms to "extremely receptive students." Friday marked the first time con-. doms were publicly available on campus. Student responses, said Paulson, ranged from those who took a condom with an embarrassed smile to those who "grabbed them by the handful." -Daily staffer Lisa Pollak con- tributed to this report. Ford remains in serious condition DETROIT (AP) - For more than a week, there has been no change in the condition of auto magnate Henry Ford II. He is listed in serious condition and suffering from pneumonia, a hospital spokesman said yesterday. Ford, 70, was admitted to Henry Ford Hospital, last week after being treated for a few days at Cottage Hospital in Grosse Pointe Farms. Brian Cheatham, a spokesman for Henry Ford Hospital, said yesterday the grandson of the founder of Ford Motor Co. remained in serious, but stable condition. Last Friday, a hospital statement said Ford's ailment was being treated by medication. Also on Friday, Ford received the sacrament of the sick from the Rev. John Mericantante III of Hialeah, Fla., who was in Detroit to officiate at the wedding of Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca's daughter Lia. A statement from Ford Motor Co. said no one in the Ford family had asked the priest to perform the ceremony, often called the last rites. For 35 years, Ford ran the auto company. He retired Oct. 1, 1982, and has a residences in Palm Beach, Fla., and Grosse Pointe Farms. Since his retirement, he has been a member of Ford's board of directors and chairs its finance committee.

STOP BY AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU!! Battle over Bork continues WASHINGTON - As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares to hear from the backers and detractors of Robert Bork in the hearings' second phase, Bork appears likely to win the support of five Republicans and attract negative votes from five Democrats. The Republicans are Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Alan Simpson of Wyoming, Charles Grassley of Iowa, and Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire. The Democrats are committee chairman Joseph Biden of Delaware, Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, and Paul Simon of Illinois. Bork's fate in the committee would then be determined by Democrats Robert Byrd of W. Virginia, Dennis DeConcini of Arizona, and Howell Heflin of Alabama, and Republican Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. U.S. and Soviets still divided on arms agreement details WASHINGTON - Despite an agreement in principle on a nuclear arms pact, the United States and the Soviet Union remain divided on two important provisions and are sending their experts back tothe bargaining table. Yet to be resolved are differences over the timetable for withdrawal of the intermediate-range nuclear missiles covered by the agreement and on a set of rules to prevent violations of the treaty. After three days of talks, President Reagan announced on Friday that he and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev were committed to signing the treaty at a summit meeting in the United States this year, but that details must still be worked out. In general, however the soviets have agreed to a U.S. demand for on- site inspection - technicians actually going to each others' territory to see for themselves what is going on at missile bases. Detroit teachers end strike DETROIT - Strikes in four Michigan school districts carried over into the week, while today will be the first day of work for Detroit teachers who struck for nearly three weeks. Walkouts in Cassopolis, Gibraltar, East China and West Iron County school districts are keeping more than 11,000 students and 650 teachers out of class. In Detroit, teachers were to report today for orientation and the district's 193,000 students would have their first day of class tomorrow. The agreement approved Saturday includes a guaranteed 6.5 percent raise in the year beginning Oct. 1, said Detroit Federation of Teachers member Denise Irwin. Two of the five Detroit school board members voted against the proposed pact, saying the district couldn't afford it. Annual pay for Detroit teachers ranges from $19,963 to $36,222. Conference shows split GOP MACKINAC ISLAND - A deeply divided GOP wrapped up a weekend meeting that featured visits by three presidential aspirants, and a confrontation between Robertson and state sen., Doug Cruce (R- Troy). Cruce asked Robertson if he "personally condoned" his campaign's move to bar the Michigan nominees from automatically being seated as at-large delegates at the Jan. 14 county conventions. Robertson deferred thc question to his top political aide, Marc Nuttle, who said that in 1976, 1980, and 1984, the Michigan officeholders and nominees weren't automatically included as convention delegates. The highly organized Robertson forces split the majority of those delegates with the vice president, stunning his heavily favored effort. EXTRAS Regents back rah-rah squad The University's Board of Regents made a critical decision Friday. The ruling body voted to encourage the University's cheerleaders to travel to the Michigan-Michigan State football game next month. Although Regent Veronica Smith (R-Grosse Ile) wants both football and basketball cheerleaders to be guaranteed travel funds to all away games, her motion was tabled until next month. What prevents the squads from attending? Who knows. Neither the regents nor University President Harold Shapiro had any idea why the cheerleaders were unable to attend away games, but they all wanted to ensure that the squad would not miss an away game before next month's regents meeting. "I do think we're doing an injustice to the cheerleaders," Smith aRegent Neal Nielsen (R-Brighton), suggested that if the cheerleaders are unable to go, Regents Thomas Roach (D-Saline), Philip Power (D-Ann Arbor), and Roger Waters (D-Muskegon) take the field in their place. -By Martha Sevetson If you see news happen, call.76-DAILY.
