0 In Weeken Magazine: Special Kickoff '87 Issue: Jamie Morris leads the Wolverines into Big Ten Contention Ninety-eight years of editorial freedom Volume XCVIII, No. 2 Ann Arbor, Michigan-- Friday, September 11, 1987 Copyright 1987, The Michigan Daily Irish seek to rebound from last-second Ceremony welcomes minorities loss to Wolverines By DARREN JASEY People affiliated with Notre Dame football have been so excited for the past few weeks that you'd think the pope was visiting soon. The reasons for this are simple: Notre Dame is looking to have its first winning season since 1984. Senior flanker Tim Brown has a good chance to become the school's seventh Heisman Trophy winner. Lou Holtz is firmly in place as head coach. Gerry Faust is two years removed from the football team. And most importantly, the Fighting Irish play Michigan at Ann Arbor tomorrow with a chance to avenge last season's 24-23 loss. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. sWe've played them twice and they've beaten us twice," Brown said. "It would be great to win one up there in front of 105,000." "They're getting excited about it," Holtz said. "We're playing Michigan. We're not just playing anybody. I know we're going to be playing one of the five best teams in the country. "IT'S GOING to be a hard-hitting, physical football game," he added. "This will be an old-fashioned football game where they just go out there and get after one another for 60 minutes." A review of the events that led to Notre Dame's loss in last year's game makes it easy to see why Holtz and his team are anxious to get started. Six crucial Notre Dame miscues - two fumbles inside the Michigan 20-yard line, an interception in the Wolverine endzone, a missed extra point, an uncovered Tough kickoff, and an errant last-second field goal - paved the LSA Senior C See IRISH, Page 15 she had only Koch to speak on Jews and politics Sunday By STEPHEN GREGORY University administration mem- bers, faculty members, and student services directors welcomed first-year minority students to the University last night in a ceremony. They stressed "performance, accountabili- ty, and resources" as key ingredients to a successful education. An estimated 400 first-year, grad- uate, and transfer minority students gathered in the Michigan League Ballroom to hear speakers such as minority student service representa- tive Michael Dashner, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost James Duderstadt, Vice Provost for Minority Affairs Charles Moody, and Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Arbor). Speaking on behalf of the Uni- versity's Board of Regents, Power said that the University was obligat- ed to help the students perform well academically and socially. "The University is organized to provide you with the resources to perform to the maximum of your potential," Power said. Ph.D. candidate Roderick Linzie, a counselor for the Comprehensive Studies Program - a tutoring pro- gram for minority students -- led the ceremonies. Linzie said he was pleased with Power's speech. "I saw it as being a sign of the commit- ment on the board to changing the institution to being more committed to equity," Linzie said. Duderstadt, representing the ad- ministration, advised the students that an education at the University is not a "passive process." "It's not going to be presented to you on a silver platter; you've got to want to go out and get it," he added. Duderstadt also advised students to consider computer-age jobs since he believes the United States is changing from an industrial society to one based on information. "I believe it has become a national imperative to encourage more of you to enter into knowl- edge-based professions," Duderstadt said. Vice President for Student Ser- vices Henry Johnson echoed Duder- stadt's sentiments by telling the See OFFICIALS, Page 8 choice Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY Cindy Follman studies a time schedule in Mason Hall yesterday.

Gay rights group plans Pantree boycott By ANDREW MILLS New York Mayor Edward Koch will kick off a two-day University forum on Jews in politics with a speech addressing the complexities of ethnic politics in urban America. Koch will keynote the forum, "The Quest for Utopia: Jews in the Political World" Sunday night in the Power Center at 7:30 p.m. A day-long symposium Monday will examine Jewish political activity and ideas from the Biblical age to the present day. Participants will include University professors as well as Israeli experts. History Prof. Todd Endelman, di- rector of the Program for Judaic Studies said Koch was selected .keynote speaker because "he's prob- ably the most prominent mayor in the United States and certainly one of the most visible Jewish politi- cians." A colloquium on Jews in Ameri- can politics featuring political con-* sultant David Garth will conclude the conference Monday night. Ac- cording to Endelman, Garth is "probably the most well known po- litical advisor in the country." Sponsored by the Program in Ju- daic Studies, the conference is the third in the Shanik-Fleischer Forum Series that brought Jewish musician Theodore Bikel and Israeli diplomat Abba Eban to the University last year. Both addressed packed houses as Koch is expected to. Endelman hopes the symposium on Monday as well as Koch's speech will attract a large and diverse audi- ence. "The whole point of the con- ference is to try to go beyond the University faculty and present it to a larger audience," he said. Koch's speech was originally to be held in the Rackham Lecture Hall, but was moved to the Power Center due to maintenance problems at Rackham. The speech will be fol- lowed by a question and answer ses- sion. By PETER ORNER A campus gay rights group plans to boycott the Pantree restaurant to- morrow because they say its man- agement did not stop five men from harassing a group of gay men and lesbian customers last month. Picket organizer Carol Wayman of Lesbian and Gay Rights on Cam- pus (LaGROC) anticipates more than 50 people will protest the inci- dent and raise awareness about other incidents of homosexual harassment in Ann Arbor. One of the victims at the Pantree, who would identify himself only as Mark, said, "We were all finished eating when one guy threw up on the table and another guy came up right after and spit food at us, and then picked up the chewed food and threw it at us. "The managers didn't handle the situation well," he added. "It was a big joke to them. They thought it was really funny. They could have called the police." Pantree manager Paul Hardkins, who was on duty at the time of the incident, said he tried to hurry the men out of the restaurant, but be- cause of his "diminutive size" he was unable to stop the men from vomiting and spitting. Hardkins said he did not call the police "because by the time the po- ice would have arrived the men would have been long gone." Hardkins also said the harassers were drunk, but that they are regular customers, friends of staff members, and have never caused problems be- fore. Jim Toy, a staff member from LaGROC in favor of the picket, said that it doesn't matter that some vic- tims feel enough has been done. "The incident not only affects the people at the table, but the commu- nity as a whole. Discrimination and harassment are outrageous. The community needs to be aware of the kinds of incidents that affect gay men and lesbians." Mark said he is not in favor of the boycott because he feels the restaurant has tried to make amends.
