Five members of the Public In- terest Research Group in Michigan's eight-member board decided not to accept the contract, which outlines how student contributions will be collected and how students can ob- tain refunds of the 75 cents levied at registration. Matt Kanter, the group's trea- surer, said they oppose a provision allowing party-affiliated students to run for the PIRGIM board. On Tuesday night, the assembly Kanter said that by running under party affiliations, candidates for the group's board of directors would be campaigning on University-wide "MSA" issues - which may or may not include PIRGIM issues. "We want to set up a system where PIRGIM board nominees run on PIRGIM issues, and not MSA issues," Kanter said. Kanter felt that many assembly members had not considered all as- But Weine pointed out that under the election code, candidates can ruoa as independents, and do not have to be affiliated with a party.

Schools to look at anti-racism plan Daily Photo by ELLEN LEVY Residents of the A. K. Stevens cooperative relax on their front porch. The Inter-Cooperative Council is celebrating its 50th anniversary at the University of Michigan this week. Fifty years later, co-ops still appeal to many (Continued from Page 1) What the co-op is "all about," Haberman said, is a non-profit, open membership home that offers demo- cratic participation, education and mutual cooperation. The ICC is also planning to con- tinue growing, she said, adding that a portion of each month's rent is put into the ICC's treasury for the building of future cooperatives. "Good planning over the years is the reason co-ops have lasted so long," Haberman said. By ANDY JORDAN The Ann Arbor public schools will adopt a racial harassment policy as a result of an incident in which a biology teacher allegedly made a racist remark in his class. Ann Arbor School Superintendent Richard Benjamin said the one day suspension and written reprimand levied earlier this month against the teacher, Dale Greiner, was insuffi- cient. Benjamin would not detail what the stronger disciplinary action would be, except to say he would not consider anything less than a one week pay loss. Benjamin had agreed to stand by the recommendations of school dis- trict Ombudsman LeRoy Cappaert, who said in a report released Tuesday that the punishment "should be suf- ficient to insure that racial bias will not be tolerated." Greiner has apologized for the remark he made last month to sev- eral Black students while trying to quiet them down during class. He reportedly told the group of students that they were "growing up to be dumb Black niggers." In the report, Cappaert said that, "the pain felt by the students will remain with them throughout their lives. The eradication-of social dpi pression must be a primary goal of the school system." The report includes a long-range plan to move toward a "multi-cul- tural integrated organization" by strengthening existing steps to combat racism and by changing the system itself. Student charges prof. with sexual assault (Continued from Page 1) LSA senior was entering her house in the 1000 block of Olivia Street during the early morning of Sept. 12 when a white male allegedly at- tacked the woman, who fought off her assailant. After being pushed down the outside staircase where the incident allegedly occurred, the male uttered something to the woman be- fore fleeing. The woman identified Rosen- boom as her attacker when he entered the University Club, where the woman works, about 10 days after the alleged incident. Jordan added that Rosenboom just wants to put the whole incident be- hind them. "This whole incident has been a nightmare for him. I really feel bad. We want him to get a trial and get exonerated," he said. "(Thomas) is more than willing to have every de- tail examined." Rosenboom was released October 13 on $5,000 bond after a prelimi- nary hearing before Judge George A ATARI COMMODORE IBM COMPATIBLE " Hardware - Software " Supplies " Service STATE STRET 663-0090 334 1/2 So. State St. Ann Arbor, Mi. Alexander. He is scheduled to stand trial in Washtenaw County Circuit Court on Dec. 21 before Judge Ross Campbell. Fourth degree criminal sexual conduct - any type of non-solicited touching or feeling that doesn't re- sult in injury -- is a "high misde- meanor" which carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail and a $500 fine. Burgess was unsure as to whether Rosenboom, who is not a United States citizen, would be deported if convicted. The Holland native is at the University for the year teaching a creative writing class in the LSA's Department of Germanic Languages and Literature. It's also unclear whether he would face any University sanctions if convicted. The faculty's governing body, SACUA, discouraged sexual relationships between faculty mem- bers and students in its 1986 policy on gender and respect in the Univer- sity community, though it remains powerless to take any punitive ac- tion.
