Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Monday, January 18, 1988 LaGROC angered over ylaw vote (QStn---dhim Page 1) Roach cited a section of the bylaw which says the University "shall exert its leadership for the achievement of (non-discrimination) by all parties with which the University transacts business, which it recognizes, or with which students and employees of the University are involved." But Kurtz said the bylaw "doesn't say what that leadership means... it definitely does not state that (the University) will not deal with these groups." ' Kurtz added that the University allows the ROTC to operate on ctmpus in spite of the fact that it rbstricts membership on the basis of sex and physical handicap. '" Roach also said he opposed the amendment out of concern that it would force the University to give preference to gays in admissions as part of its affirmative action policy. Kurtz said the bylaw does not directly mention affirmative action and that giving preference to gays would not be necessary, because gay students are well-represented on campus. Waters was the only regent to abstain from voting on the proposed bylaw change. Following the vote on the bylaw change, the regents voted to endorse former University President Harold Shapiro's 1984 policy statement on sexual orientation. Shapiro's statement says sexual orientation has "no connection with academic abilities and job performance" and should be treated the same as other "irrelevant" factors such as race, religion and sex. Fleming asked for the endorsement because he said he would be uneasy instituting the policy statement without a formal endorsement by the regents.

Cabinet members criticized au- thorities over the presence of armed police on the Temple Mount, Is- lam's third holiest shrine, during vi- olent demonstrations in Jerusalem on Friday. Levin said Mohammed Abu Samra, Freiz al Kheiri, Hassan Abu Shaqra, and Khalil Quqa were al- lowed to stay in the Gaza Strip until the army shows the Supreme Court its reasons for ordering them deport- ed. Such injunctions are common, and are usually overturned once the army's case has been heard. But Fe- licia Langer, the Palestinians' law- yer, said this time the government might bow to international pressure and rescind the deportations. The military originally ordered out four Palestinians from Gaza and five from the West Bank. Four West Bankers were deported to Lebanon after refusing to appeal their cases. The fifth is awaiting a military tri- bunal's verdict. The U.N.

According to U.N. figures, 36 Palestinians have been shot dead since the protests began Dec. 8 in the territories Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war. Last week, the army adopted a new tactic of economic siege by putting all eight Gaza refugee camps and six of the 15 in the West Bank under at least partial curfew, pre- venting Arabs from going to work. "People are starving. They have no food, no water, no milk," said a Palestinian teacher named Fatma. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which administers the camps, said curfews have been lifted at random, making it difficult to coordinate the flow of U.N. sup- plies into the camps. "The way we perceive it, the people are not starving, but they are hungry," said the agency's acting di- rector in Gaza, Angela Williams. An Israeli colonel named Avi who commands the Bureij refugee camp area said all the refugees' needs were taken care of. Varner, Waters criticize remarks (catnuedfrm Page ) efforts in these regards." Members of the United Coalition Against Racism (UCAR), which last week called some of Steiner's speeches and essays racist, yesterday expressed disappointment in Flem- ing's statement, as well as his refusal to fire Steiner. "We're all really upset," said UCAR steering committee member Pam Nadasen, "I -don't think that students are going to let it rest where it stands now," she said. "We're not accepting this as the definitive statement about what the University intends to do about this situation," said Dan Holliman, an- other steering committee member. The regents unanimously sup- ported Fleming, although several were more critical of Steiner's con- troversial remarks. Regent James Waters (D- Muskegon) said yesterday, "I thought (Steiner) should at least be repri- manded, no matter his intentions. I don't think you should have a dean making any statement that's even subject to that kind of interpreta- tion." Waters added, however, that he would support Fleming's decisions in the matter. Regent Nellie Varner (D-Detroit) said, "The whole issue of why Blacks are not getting advances in higher education is certainly much broader See FLEMING, Page 5 KINKO'S HAS 3-RING BINDERS 1 G 0 1 fl IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Many Haitians ignore election PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Most Haitians stayed away from the polls yesterday in an election run by the military-led junta, which was boycotted by the opposition and marked by fear, confusion, and bribery. "I'm not going to vote because the election doesn't meet our aspirations," said a young man standing in a group of about 20 near two polling stations. None intended to vote. "The winner has already been decided," he said, laughing nervously and edging back toward an alley as an armored personnel carrier rumbled past. "We don't know who, but the army does." Most people stayed home out of fear of violence. Streets near polling stations were obstructed by soldiers who set up barriers of boulders, sandbags, 50-gallon drums and overturned wooden vendors' carts. Argentine troops corner rebels BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - The army yesterday began surrounding a northeastern garrison where a rebel lieutenant colonel and about 100 sympathizers dug in, officials said. Officials denied reports that the rebellion led by Lt. Col. Aldo Rico was spreading. Rico had escaped from house arrest in the capital on Friday. Gov. Ricardo Leconte of Corrientes Province told President Raul Alfonsin by telephone that the rebel soldiers blackened their faces with grease paint and took up battle positions in "machine gun nests" inside Infantry Regiment 4. The garrison is in Monte Caseros, 325 miles north of the capital and near the Uruguay border. Rico is charged with rebellion in a soldier uprising he led in April last year. Dems. debate Social Security AMHERST, N.H. - Jesse Jackson blasted fellow Democratic presidential candidates yesterday for Social Security proposals he said would leave the nation "divided and destroyed" while Republican Bob Dole accused two opponents of "just saying no to everything." Fresh from a pair of weekend debates, presidential candidates from both parties renewed the arguments sharpened in those televised confrontations in Iowa and New Hampshire. The politically sensitive subject of Social Security continued to provide the brightest rhetorical sparks. Gary Hart triggered a new round of debate among Democrats with a call for taxing 85 percent of Social Security benefits for those who make more than $32,000 a year. Jackson rejected the idea, saying it would undermine the universal nature of the Social Security system. Philippine elections feature wide variety of candidates MANILA, Philippine - Alleged coup plotters, anti-communist zealots, and an assortment of film stars and.beauty queens are among the candidates adding a colorful, sometimes bizarre twist to today's regional elections. Voters will be choosing about 1,600 governors, mayors, and council members from among a field of about 160,000 candidates in what the government touts as restoring the "final stage of democracy" after the February, 1986 ouster of President Ferdinand Marcos. Eleven months ago, voters ratified a new constitution replacing one that concentrated power with Marcos. They returned to the polls in May to elect a U.S.-style Congress. Today's balloting sets the stage for new power blocs to compete for the presidency in 1992. EXTRAS Libels, with extra player, beat unknown opponent, 73-71 Coming off a disappointing forfeit last week, the Daily Libels won their first intramural contest yesterday, 73-71. Sure, the other team only had four players to the Libels' five, but they were good players. They were tall. They were strong. We weren't . Besides, they knew the rules. We don't even know who we played. But forget those minor shortcomings. We won. In fact, we won, even though we didn't know how to keep score. How, you may ask, did the other team score 71 points when baskets were worth either two or four points? Because we cheated, probably. Anyway, we played pretty well. Sports staffer Julie Hollman keyed the Libels' come-from-behind attack, scoring about four baskets in a row. We would print the exact number, but again, we had no clue as to how to keep score. How could anyone keep score, though? The rules were nuts. Only females were allowed under the basket. Thus, men could not rebound, drive, or do anything except bomb from the outside. Which we did. And we missed. But we won. - By Steve Knopper 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 The list goes on and on. ARCHITECTURE Work at Telefund to gain the edge when you go into job interviews.
