Reagan et
Bork to "k
WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Reagan told Robert Bork
yesterday, "I urge you to keep
going" in the battle for a seat on the
Supreme Court, despite growing
opposition to Bork's nomination and
speculation that he might withdraw.
Throughout the day, B ork
shuttled between meetings with
Meagan and Republican leaders on
Capitol Hill. He refused to answer
questions.
"He will not decide anything
today, and said he would be in
touch," said Tom Korologos, a
lobbyist brought in by the White
House to help Bork.
' Reagan himself was emphatic,
however. The president, who has
repeatedly declared he wants a Senate
vote on Bork, told reporters who
questioned him briefly at unrelated
ceremonial events, "I have not
changed my position ... I have not
ncourages
pep going'
changed my mind on anything."
Senate Republican Leader Bob
Dole said after Bork met with GOP
senators for a combination pep talk
and strategy session, "If he were on
the fence when he walked in, I think
he's a little more determined to hang
in there."
Bork supporter Strom Thurmond
(R-S.C.), when asked if Bork
indicated whether he would
withdraw, said, "I haven't gotten an
impression either way."
In the Senate, seven more
Democratic senators declared
opposition: John Breaux o f
Louisiana, Richard Shelby of
Alabama, Alan Dixon of Illinois,
James Exon of Nebraska, Wych
Fowler of Georgia, Lawton Chiles
of Florida and Bob Graham of
Florida. Thirteen Demo-cratic
southern senators have now said they
oppose the nominee.

The Greek Activities Panel will
investigate Friday night's incident at
a fraternity in which a University
student was injured after drinking a
lot of alcohol, according to Intra-
fraternity Council President Nick
Seitanakis.
The first-year student, who is a
pledge at the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity house, needed five stitches
to close up a cut in his head,
according to fraternity President John
Lawrence. He added that several
members of the fraternity took the
pledge to St. Joseph's hospital after
he fell in the bathroom, slipped, and
hit his head on the toilet.
According to Lawrence, the party
was a typical rush party where
several sorority members and
potential pledges come and "meet the
guys." He added that each room had a
specific drink for the guests, but that
no one was required to drink.
The pledge, however, said there
was definitely pressure to drink at
the party, though he maintained, "I
made my own choices."
He also said none of the active
members told him that he had too
much to drink.
Seitanakis said the incident was
unfortunate, saying, "It goes under
the category of things that shouldn't
happen."
"Alcohol abuse is something the
fraternities in general are trying not
to let happen," he said, noting the,
Greek system's distinct trend toward
education and awareness alcohol
abuse-related problems.

But Jonathon Rose, the attorney
for both students, said the first
amendment is the fundamental issue.
"'The right of free speech is its own
lure," Rose said. "When somebody
pmakes an offensive act of speech,
somebody else comes out and re-
bukes it. That's the response that's
called for."
Rose has not been in contact with
Payton or Kennedy since the sum-
mer, but said he is confident that
* there will be no hearing for the stu-
dents. "Our clients have offered to do
more compensatory work for the
community, in particular the Black
community," he said.
Payton agreed that no hearing or
similar procedure has been estab-
lished, but said she is not certain
what course of action the commis-
sion is planning to take after she
submits her report. Her study is in-
tended to clarify the issues involved
and the motivation behind racist in-
cidents.
"Ordinarily when someone trans-
gresses a community norm, the per-
son knows what the norm is," Pay-
ton said. "The WJJX incident sug-
gests that the norms in the student
community are not what we thought
they were. We've been thinking
about how to change the norm
within the student community."
Payton said the commission
would welcome input from students,
which has been lacking since Weine
declined to join the commission last
spring.
, "Our basic problem is not what
to do with these two kids, but how
to make the University of Michigan
a less racist community," she said.
(Continued from Page 1)
the bill could be enforced, it would
be a "good tool" for fighting racism
in the state, but he added, "It would
probably be quite difficult to prove
the intent."
Raymond Lin, a leader of the
University of Michigan Asian
Student Coalition, said of the bill,
"Something like this is very
necessary." Lin cited the acquittal of
a man charged with the 1982 beating
death of Vincent Chin, a Chinese-
American Detroiter.
"That whole episode showed there
was something seriously wrong with
the justice system when it comes to
racially motivated attacks," Lin said.
Judiciary Chair and state Rep.
Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) said the
bill represents "a stronger safeguard
against ethnic intimidation" and
provides for an official condemnation
of racism in Michigan. Bullard said
he hopes the state's stance will deter
attacks against minorities.
"The state and the people who are
represented by the legislature do not
want assaultive or insulting actions
against people because of ethnic
background or sexual preference," he
said.
State Sen. Lana Pollack (D-Ann
Arbor) said the bill would "bring
legal force to the reality of the
seriousness of (racist) incidents."
She also said the legislation could
not completely cure the state of
racism, but "at least it moves in the
right direction."
Pollack expects the bill to pass
the Senate.
