-Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Friday, April 15, 1988 Marcuse Protester to file civil suit against security official Continued from Page 1 showed me that I wasn't going to have a case," Plunkett said. But Marcuse contends that Plun- kett was under political pressure to drop the case. "It was very clear to Plunkett from the beginning it was a political case and his prosecution was operating only in the interest of the police in covering up their crimes," Marcuse said. He also accused Plunkett of pro- longing the case, which has been postponed several times, in order to intimidate him into a concession rather than let a jury decide his guilt 'or innocence. Plunkett twice offered to drop the charges if Marcuse would perform community service, but Marcuse refused. "I THINK the criminal justice system is clearly an extended arm of the police. It's so clear in a case like this that they work together and not in the interests of justice," Marcuse said. Plunkett countered, "It's simply not true that the police department put any pressure on me to drop the case. If anything, they were inter- ested in pursuing it. I have no per- sonal stake in this case." Plunkett also accused Marcuse of wanting to continue with the trial as an opportunity to express his politi- cal views. "I respect Mr. Marcuse's and other students' right to make their views known, but I don't think it's appropriate that the criminal justice system be used for that purpose. I resent being used in that manner," Plunkett said. Yesterday's dismissal will not necessarily keep the incident out of court; Marcuse has said he will file a civil suit against Assistant Director of Public Safety Robert Patrick for assault. According to the police re- port, Patrick caused Marcuse to fall after kicking him in the groin. Spring $1Days Lease any apartment between April 1 and April 30, 1988 for $100.

Richard Ross, chair of the Break- through to Nursing Committee which organized the forum, said there are two distinct cultures in nursing - men and women. Men often work in mental health, rehabilitation and anesthesiology, while women are placed into stereo- typically caring and nurturing posi- tions, he said. "This creates a conflict of self, images of who we are as men," he said. Men must confront the "Mr. Strong Theory," which places men in positions that require muscle. "All the guys in my class want to do the 'macho thing'," Ross said. Eddie Williams, a first-year nurs-, ing student, said he wants to make changes in nursing. "Nurses are worth more than so- ciety is willing to give credit for. Nurses are more than just bed pan carriers," he said. Williams said he went into nurs- ing because he loves people, espe- cially children. "I'm not a negative guy, I don't want to be oppressed by the profession I love. I am sick of people telling me I'm the problem." THE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 FIREFIGHTER Applicants:.

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Hijackers release one hostage ALGIERS, Algeria - Shiite Moslem hijackers freed another hostage from a Kuwaiti jumbo yesterday after resuming talks with Algerian mediators on ending the 10-day-old crisis. Negotiations had been suspended earlier in the day because of a lack of progress, the official Algerian news agency said. But early yesterday evening an Algerian official boarded the plane for 20 minutes. Kuwait has refused the hijackers' demand to free 17 convicted pro-Ira- nian terrorists. The gunmen seized the plane April 5 on a Bangkok- Kuwait flight and are holding at least 30 hostages. A doctor allowed aboard to examine the hostages said they didn't ap- pear to have been harmed physically. In Washington, lawmakers urged Secretary of State George Shultz to intervene because of reports that one of the hijackers might be responsible for kidnapping American journalist Terry Anderson in Lebanon. Trade deficit blamed for 100 point drop in stock market NEW YORK - Unexpected news of an increase in the nation's trade deficit touched off a freefall slide in the stock market yesterday, leaving the Dow Jones industrial average with its second three-digit loss this year. The monthly U.S trade deficit widened by more than 11 percent in February to $13.8 billion, the government said, creating turmoil on world financial markets. Stock prices tumbled and the value of the dollar against the Japanese yen and the German mark dropped 2 percent on the foreign exchange mar- kets in reaction to the announcement. sraeli soldiers kill protester JERUSALEM - Soldiers yesterday shot an Arab to death and wounded four, and a Palestinian youth wrote an open letter to a Jewish child saying the violence kills "innocents like me and you." Army spokespersons said young Arabs on roofs threw stones and cinder blocks onto soldiers, who opened fire and killed a 24-year-old Palestinian. A strike called by the PLO to protest mass arrests by the Israeli army virtually shut down the occupied lands and Arab east Jerusalem, but some Palestinians have begun complaining about the economic pinch caused by repeated strikes. Israeli officials claimed Thursday that the number and size of Arab protests was declining. Lt. Gen. Dan Shomron, army chief of staff, said protests now involve only Palestinian activists, "so when soldiers are forced to fire, they usually hit the inciters themselves." $1.1 trillion budget passed WASHINGTON - The Senate yesterday approved a $1.1 trillion budget that calls for bypassing last fall's deficit-reduction pact with President Reagan to expand the war on drugs. The fiscal 1989 spending blueprint, passed 69-26, also includes increases for education, the space program, and AIDS research while freezing or cutting back transportation, housing and development grants to local governments. Conforming with last fall's deficit-reduction agreement with the the president, the Senate plan earmarks $294 billion for military spending and $16.1 billion for international assistance. It includes no new taxes beyond the $14 billion enacted last December for fiscal 1989, which begins Oct.1. EXTRAS , 0 0 THE ARE NEW YEARBOOKS HERE!!

The manufacturers of the liquor, Matthew Gloan & Sons of Perth, Scotland, kicked off their latest U.S. sales campaign, but decided they couldn't bear the thought that San Franciscans might mix their prized whiskey with local tap water. "The fact is that San Francisco tap water does not taste very good," said local Famous Grouse spokesperson Ed Schwartz. So this month, it started selling a $14 package containing the scotch and a bottle of water from Great Britain's Strathmore valley, a combination the company says is necessary to bring out the best features of the liquor.
