Ninety-eight years of editoria! freedom Vol. XCVIII, No. 84 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Monday, February 1, 1988 Copyright 198'$; The Michigan Daily Bush wins Michigan's Leading the way for the Orange- men was center Rony Seikaly, the. Athens, Greece, native. who scored 33 points. That tied the career high he recorded against Florida in the NCAA Tournament last year. Michigan was unable to control the Greek god inside all afternoon no matter how they defensed him. "We couldn't contain Seikaly," coach Bill Frieder said after the game. "We tried everything. We tried fronting him. We tried playing be- hind him. We tried doubling him. We tried the zone. We tried different people on him." But no combination worked. The win was Syracuse's first over a Top Twenty team this season. It also de- nied Michigan the claim of having beaten, on consecutive Sundays, the two teams that played for the na- tional championship last March. For a while, it looked like Michigan might come back and be able to pull off the feat. After falling behind by as much as 13 in the sec- 9nd half, theWolverines made their charge in front of 31,621 screaming fans.

Seniors lead charge asicerssweSte GOP C By KENNETH DINTZER Special to the Daily GRAND RAPIDS - Vice President George Bush started off his bid for the Presidency with a victory this weekend, winning 37 delegates to the Republican National Conven- tion, though supporters of former television evangelist Pat Robertson promise to contest the results. The state convention, which cli- maxed two years of fighting between the party's conservative and moderate factions, gave Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.) 32 delegates and Robertson only 8. Other Republican candidates, Kansas Senator Bob Dole, former Delaware Governor Peter Du Pont, and former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, chose not to partic- ipate in the convention. Bush's first victory came weeks ago when a Michigan state court struck down convention rules im- plemented by Robertson supporters. The decision said the rules conflicted with state law. The stage for the showdown was set two years ago when Robertson took control of the state party, rio- bilizing his organization before other candidates announced intentions to run. Robertson formed a conservative coalition with Kemp in the hopes of winning 44 delegates - starting Bush off on a losing foot. The coalition broke down last week when Bush supporters offered Kemp more delegates to the national convention than Kemp would have received un- der his deal with Robertson. The break in the coalition left Robertson supporters feeling angry and be- trayed, many of them wearing orange stickers at the convention saying "integrity first." With the results of the conven- tion still in question, Bush's victory is not ex pected to influence the out- come of other early-primary states. Clark Durand, national co-chair of the Republican party, said "I don't think anyone came out of the con- vention with exactly what they were expecting to... it shouldn't have much effect on Iowa next week." Republican Campaign '88 Disgruntled Robertson support- ers, disputing the court decisions, walked out of the planned conven- tion and held an alternative, or "rump", convention downstairs. In this alternative selection pro- cess, Robertson won 43 delegates, Kemp took 21, and Bush only re- ceived 13. Officials at the Republi- can National Convention in New Orleans will have to decide which slate of delegates to seat, though they are expected to give Bush the win. Robertson, who cancelled a visit See ROBERTSON, Page 3 GOP ight leaves the party divided By KENNETH DINTZER Daily news analysis The only thing delegates at the Republican state convention could agree upon was that this is no way to choose a president. Bickering and name calling over- shadowed the convention in Grand Rapids this weekend, emphasizing a deep split in the state's party leaders - a division that has diminished the clout Michigan Republicans will have on the presidential nominating process. The rift between the party's con- servative and moderate elements de- veloped between factions lead by Vice President George Bush's party See LACK, Page 5 By JULIE HOLLMAN It was the last hoorah and the first hoorah. It was the last chance for Michigan seniors to gain revenge over Michigan State for previous beatings, and the first evidence that Michigan's hockey program is a force to be reckoned with. For the first time in seven years and fourteen series, the Michigan hockey team swept archrival and peren- nial powerhouse Michigan State, 5-2 Friday night in Ann Arbor and 5-3 Saturday night in East Lansing. The sweep leaves Michigan third in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, five points behind the second-place Spartans. The senior Wolverines made the most of their final regular-season series against the Spartans, scoring seven of the weekend's 11 Michigan goals and 13 of the Wolverines' 21 points. Wingers Billy Powers and Brad McCaughey led the senior attack by knocking in the two game-winning goals. The sweep also marked the first true indication that head coach Red Berenson's program has finally made See STRONG, Page 9 NYU head criticizes Reagan, professors By DAVID SCHWARTZ versities for the nation's prob Students are suffering from a de- "The Reagan administrati cline in the quality of higher educa- pursued policies with the in tion rooted in the Reagan undermining our country's c administration's repeated cuts in and universities," he said.

Faculty group asks for action on racism By MARINA SWAIN A group of faculty members, "embarrassed and pained" by what they feel is a lack of action against institutional racism by the Univer- sity's administration, is pressing for action instead of "mere rhetoric, promises, and announcements of minor programs and initiatives." "Our hope is to identify other faculty to work, with us on various projects to address institutional racism," said Social Work Prof. Beth Reed, one of 21 faculty members to sign the letter. "Not doing anything perpetuates the problem." Daily Photo by ALEXANDRA BREZ Dr. John Brademas, president of New York University and a former member of Congress, speaks before a forum on the ethics involved in balancing teaching and research in the Rackham Amphitheatre Friday. Faculty Against Institutional Racism (FAIR) has written to In- terim University President Robben Fleming and Vice President for Aca- demic Affairs and Provost James Duderstadt, asking for increased at- tention to recruitment and retention of minority faculty members, stu- dents, and administrators. In addition, FAIR requested changes in the curriculum to focus on cultural diversity. The letter was prompted by what they deemed apa- thetic student and faculty attitudes toward race relations. White faculty should take responsibility in fighting racism, group members said. Many members pointed with dissatisfaction to the Black faculty members being saddled with what is a campus-wide prob- lem, not just a minority problem. Andrew Zweifler, professor of in- ternal medicine, said FAIR has "embryonic plans" to address the problem. Zweifler was inspired by the group to hold a minority program for medical students. The group has formed subgroups targeted to increasing minority faculty and improving, classroom Profs. try to balance research, teaching By MICHAEL LUSTIG University officials say research is a crucial ingredient to a strong teaching university, but professors who must balance the two find the priorities often clash, said speakers in a weekend conference. Difficulty balancing research projects with undergraduate education at the University prompted about 100 faculty members to gather Saturday for an all-day conference of speeches and workshops entitled, "Balancing Teaching and "The purpose (of the conference) is to provoke thought, not prescribe values," Steneck said. In workshops faculty members evaluated the roles ethics and values play in teaching and research. At the opening of the conference Friday, participants were asked to submit questions for Saturday's discussion sessions, including: -HOW CAN the leadership of this elite research university be persuaded to give more than lip service to the value of teaching? -How can we equalize teaching work loads to no single ideal balance exists. The optimal mix, he said, depends on the situation - and many variables help create that mix. "Let's not fall into the trap that there is a holy grail... which is the solution," Converse said. Converse said the University has tried to combine teaching and research in the Residential College and the Research Partner Program - a program designed by Vice President for Research Linda Wilson and Rackham Dean John D'Arms to establish a mentor relationship between senior :. :.r.
