4 Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, February 2, 1988 Meese denies bribe attempt (CwaiUvwd f om Pagel1) President Reagan, returning from a speech he delivered to an audience of religious broadcasters, was asked about Meese's situation. "No com- ment. I'm not going to talk about it," Reagan said. "I do not recall having read the specific words that have now mush- roomed into importance, but I cer- tainly did not receive from the memorandum any impression of il- legality whatsoever," the attorney general said. He added that the memorandum, which is classified and which he re- fused to outline in detail, "contains no reference to bribes or payoffs."

"We just can't keep having these kinds of actions in a climate where there are no conse- quences for this kind of behavior," he said. BLACK Student Union Vice Sly. Mo9 EWEKS OF.

"It's a pity that members of an educated community would enjoy this kind of racist literature," said Michael Nelson, president of the University chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It seems we would be above that." A security officer filed a report after discovering one of the fliers in an elevator inrthe Church Street parking structure at 3:30 a.m., said Bob Pifer, assistant director of the University Department of Public Safety. Pifer said campus security is in- vestigating the incident and will submit a copy of the report and the fliers to the Ann Arbor Police.

"You go into the courtroom with the work of detectives and the prosecutor and the pain and the words of the survivor, and it is all thrown out the window because some judge has an inconsistent and suspicious definition of what is sexual assualt," Cohen said. "I am seriously concerned about the verdict," said Susan McGee of the Coalition to End Legalized Rape. "The message to the community is that there are no sanctions for sexually abusive behavior for the perpetrators. It's a totally outrageous decision. What it says to women is that there are no recourses when they are sexually assualted." McGee also commented on the link between a rape trial last year when defendant Griffith Neal was acquitted, and yesterday's dismissed sexual assualt hearing. "I think it's an unfortunate pattern that is developing and is going to have to be disrupted," McGee said. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Armed Indians take hostages LUMBERTON, N.C. - Two heavily armed American Indians who had taken over a newspaper office yesterday to protest the death of a Black jail inmate released their hostages after a 10-hour stand-off. "It's over. The hostages have been released," Jim Sughrue, Gov. Jim Martin's press secretary, said last night. "The governor did not talk directly to him (Eddie Hatcher, one of the two captors)," said Charles Dunn, deputy director of the State Bureau of Investigation. "We didn't want him to do that because it would set a precedent. The governor did agree to look into the allegations." Police said the Indians were protesting the death in the Robeson County Jail of Billy McCullogh because they said the death wasn't adequately investigated. Ray Little Turtle, a Lumbee Indian who was part of the negotiations, said Hatcher and Timothy Jacobs had been taken into custody by FBI agents and would be transported to a jail outside Robeson County. Trapped Israelis attack Arabs ANABTA, Israeli-occupied West Bank - Israelis killed two Arabs and wounded three others yesterday when they opened fire on a crowd of stone- throwing Palestinians who had trapped a convoy of soldiers and civilians, the Israeli army said. Soldiers wounded four Arabs in two other clashes, a military spokes- person said. The Arab-owned Palestinian Press Service put the number of Arabs wounded by gunfire at 22. Troops battled Palestinians in protests throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip, leaving more than a dozen Arabs hospitalized with beating injuries and three soldiers injured by stones. The renewed violence caused the first deaths from gunfire since Jan. 15 and brought to 41 the confirmed Arab death toll in the rioting that began Dec. 8. It came as the United States was exploring ways to revive the stalled Middle East peace process. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin said he hoped the new U.S initiative would lead to political negotiations, but he warned that Israel would use force and collective punishment to quell protests. Reagan lobbies for Contra aid WASHINGTON - President Reagan argued yesterday that Nicaragua's leftist leaders would not comply with a regional peace plan without a "threat hanging over them" and that his $36.2 million Contra aid package would do the trick. Meanwhile, the White House scrambled to make the aid package palatable to doubtful House members as the outcome of tomorrow's high- stakes vote remained in the hands of some 20 fence-sitters. "One question must be answered. Sandinista promises of the past have been broken. Can we believe them now?" Reagan said'in a speech to the National Religious Broadcasters. The president's plea was part of a last-ditch lobbying drive that will culminate today in a televised address from the Oval Office. Jurors questioned in KKK trial MOBILE, Ala. - Attorneys yesterday questioned potential jurors in the murder trial of two former Ku Klux Klan leaders accused in the death of a Black teenager who was beaten and hanged from a tree in a case that eventually drove a Klan organization into bankruptcy. Mobile County Circuit Judge Michael Zoghby withheld rulings on several pre-trial motions yesterday, including a defense request to exclude Blacks from the jury. Bennie Jack Hays and his son-in-law, Frank Cox, were indicted in August for the March 1981 beating death of Michael Donald, whose death resulted in a $7 million civil verdict that led to bankruptcy for the United Klans of America. EXTRAS. 'Fifth force' finds feathers faster, fuels ferocious fight LOS ANGELES - Scientists have uncovered new evidence suggest- ing that gravity is counteracted by a "fifth force" that would make a feather fall ever so slightly faster than an iron ball. "Our results are consistent with the existence of a fifth force. It's good evidence, but not conclusive," Paul Boynton, a physicist-astronomer at the University of Washington, said Friday. In an experiment supposedly conducted 400 years ago, Galileo found that when two objects of different weights were dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, both hit the ground at the same time, contrary to the logical notion that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones. If a fifth force exists, it would slightly counteract gravity so a feather, because of its atomic makeup, actually would hit the ground ever so slightly before an iron ball if wind resistance did not slow the feather, Boynton said. No one is quite sure of the practical applications for this discovery. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY. 4 4 338 S.
