'U' distributes 3000 computers By STEPHEN GREGORY Yesterday's arrival of University of Texas Professor Jose Limon marks the third time this semester the University has brought a visiting scholar here as part of a program to increase the number of minority faculty on campus. Organizers of the Martin Luther King/Ceaser Chavez/Rosa Park Visiting Professorship Program say the program offers minority students the opportunity to interact with minority faculty members and to establish role models. Director of Latino Studies Silvia 14 U.s.- ci tizens die inr crash Continued from Page I1 The crash came o day after diplomatic sources reported increased police protection of the U.S. Em- bassy in Rangoon because of reports that an anti-American terrorist group had entered Burma. Officials would not speculate on possible links between crash and terrorists, and no further information was available on the alleged arrival of terrorists. Government sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the plane was on a two-hour, regularly scheduled flight from the national capital of Rangoon to Pagan, about 306 miles tothe north. Pagan has about 5,000 residents. It lies on flat terrain on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, which crosses most of Burma. The town and surrounding area has hundreds of temples built during the 11th and 12th centuries. Pedraza-Baily said she hopes Limon will spark discussion of issues previously overlooked on campus because of a lack of minority faculty members here. Today at 3:00 p.m., Limon will lecture on the culture of the South- ern United States and the emergence of the Mexican Southwest. The lecture will convene in the Michigan Union's Pendleton Room and is open to the public. He will also participate in a panel discussion Wednesday in the Pendle- ton Room about race, gender, ethni- city, and class at 4:00 p.m. By RYAN TUTAK Over the weekend, the Univer- sity conducted its second major computer sale, delivering 3,000 computers to students, faculty, and staff, and making the event the largest on-campus sale in the country. During its "Computer Kickoff '87" sale in September, the University sold Apple, Zenith, and IBM computers to students and faculty at 50 percent off retail prices. Those computers were Pedraza-Baily said Limon will be addressing classes in the American Culture, Latino Studies, Anthro- pology, and Sociology departments throughout the week. He will also attend various functions and diners with such minority student groups as the Puerto Rican Student Association and the Socially Active Latino Students Association. Limon sits on the national council of the American Studies Association and is currently on leave from the University of Texas to conduct research at the Stanford Center for the Humanities. distributed at the Coliseum Friday and Saturday. With 1,400 sales, Apple beat out the others in volume, but IBM attracted the most attention with its new model that can display up to 256 different colors on the screen at a time. The University invited local computer stores to sell software merchandise and peripherals at the pick-up. The invitations were an effort by the University to quiet complaints that its sale was taking an unfair chunk out of local computer business. Jeff Inwood, president of ComputerLand in Ann Arbor, said the stores served an important function in the sale that deserves to be recognized. "(The University) needs us as authorized dealers be- cause students want to see the product they're buying," he said. Inwood said that unless the stores' made profits over the weekend, the University may need to find another way to compensate the merchants for next year's sale. ARTHUR ANDERSEN Arthur Andersen & Co.

THE Michigan Engineering Television Network broadcasts by microwave on a two-channel system within a 35 mile radius of its main transmitter in Detroit. It carries a signal to its seven subscribers of the network, major companies working out of Detroit and in Southeastern Michigan, including Unisys, General Motors, and Ford. In addition to Stevenson, who is the acting director, METN employs a staff of six television professionals and 10 part-time students. Usually, each student handles one class and works in the broadcasting room * during the transmission. The students at the remote sites are regular University students who go through the standard application process for the graduate program in engineering. The only difference is that they are presently employed and are taking the classes at their place of business via METN. IN ADDITION to tuition, S companies are charged $13,000 to set up the system and $6,000 in annual programming fees. These fees allow METN to be self-supporting. Since its creation in 1970. METN has operated out of the West Engineering Building. A little over a year ago it moved into a new complex that will cost approxi- mately $2.3 million by the time it is fully completed and equipped. The complex came complete with editing rooms, broadcasting rooms, and a video studio. METN has offered over 30,000 hours of live broadcasting and has enrolled more than 13,000 auditors and credit students at businesses and industries in the Detroit area Uone 1 f BE A LEADER!
