4 Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, February 17, 1988 BC assistant director resigns (C..UuueabdfwPal1e ) yesterday. "I have a range of research projects that I have been slowly working on that now I can devote more time to." Larimore, who currently teaches one RC class per term, will also become a full-time RC faculty member. As an RC associate director, Larimore is involved with admissions and recruitment, as well ;as developing educational programs and evaluation procedures. She also organized the RC's 20th anniversary reunion last term. Eagle has offered an associate director's position to a unnamed minority candidate, but said he will not know until next week if the position has been filled. Under Eagle's directorship, the RC will only have one associate director, as it had before Douvan. Some students were surprised by Larimore's resignation; unlike Douvan, she did not send resignation announcements to RC students. Students who have worked with her on the RC executive committee praised Larimore's contributions to the program from its inception, and described her influence on Douvan's administration as strong. "(Her resignation) is obviously going to have a great impact. She's an important figure in the RC community," said Scott Fedewa, an RC senior and former executive committee member. Jeff Allen, an RC junior and member of the RC director search committee, said, "Ann is a wonderful person who's been working with and developing the program for a long time." But Allen added, "She's been the source of a lot of frustration from people who want to get things changed in the RC by not always addressing student interests." Eagle said that as RC director he will try different strategies and approaches than Douvan, but would not elaborate in order to avoid a criticizing the present administration. "What the RC can do to recruit more minority faculty and students is a central concern right now, though," Eagle said.

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports U. S. to reduce forces In Gulf WASHINGTON - A top Pentagon official said yesterday the United States was withdrawing some ships from escort and mine-clearing duties in the Persian Gulf, and expressed concern that Iraqi forces were engaging in dangerous manuevers near U.S. ships. In a wide-ranging briefing at the Pentagon, Armitage confirmed that the United States was now reducing the number of U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, and said the administration had no plans to offer military protection to U.S.-owned ships flying foreign flags. Richard Armitage, assistant defense secretary for international security affairs, said the United States had already protested to Baghdad an incident over the weekend involving an Iraqi jet that fired a missile near a U.S. destroyer. Meese receives JOA proposal WASHINGTON - The application of two Detroit newspapers for a partial merger yesterday went to Attorney General Edwin Meese for a decision, as five newspaper unions dropped their opposition to the proposal. The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press requested permission to merge their advertising, circulation and production departments and to enter into a profit-sharing agreement under a law designed to protect newspaper competition when one of the publications is in danger of going out of business. One union, the Newspaper Guild of Detroit, remained opposed to the partial merger. Justice Department spokesperson Mark Sheehan said he expected Meese to act as promptly as he can on the JOA request. Israeli deputy chief of staf f condemns soldiers' behavior JERUSALEM - Israel's deputy chief of staff said yesterday some soldiers had committed "totally unacceptable" acts against Palestinians, and hospital officials reported three Arabs wounded by troopers in the West Bank. Maj. Gen. Ehud Barak also said more than 200 Israelis had been injured, most of them lightly, since Arab riots began Dec. 8 in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. He said 53 Palestinians had been killed, but the United Nations puts the number at 54. Barak confirmed some soldiers had used a bulldozer to bury four Palestinians alive near the West Bank city of Nablus and declared, "This pattern of behavior... is totally unacceptable under the standards of the Israeli Defense Forces and any civilized norms. Whoever is found responsible for this event will be punished." Two killed in office shooting SUNNYVALE, Calif. - A former employee shot at least eight people at a Silicon Valley company's offices yesterday, and two were believed to be dead, authorities said. The man, who reportedly was upset over a relationship with a female employee he had been dating, barricaded himself inside the two-story ESL Corp. building. Witnesses said employees hid under desks and inside closets. At least three employees were, holed up inside a computer room and made telephone calls to police. The gunman, who called police from a telephone inside the building, said he shot three people on the first floor "and as many on the second floor," Capt. Hal Scott of the Sunnyvale Public Safety Department said. The man "shows a little bit of remorse," said Lt. Tom Moore of the safety department. EXTRAS Woman finds 'no end to fun' of launching bottles into seas CHICAGO (AP) - If you have an urge to send somebody a message in a bottle, Edna Hulbert can give you some hints. She started throwing bottles in bodies of water 66 years ago, when she was 17. She's received replies from people in France, England, and Spain, and even played matchmaker to a French couple getting married in June. "It doesn't cost any money and I'm hearing from people I never knew. There was no end to the fun I've had," said Hulbert, 83. Although she doesn't drink, Hulbert prefers liquor bottles because they float best. She used to pour her late husband's Scotch into empty mustard and ketchup jars so she could have the empties. She tossed her first message into the Mississippi River near St. Louis and has since lobbed bottles into the Hudson River, the Thames in England, the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas, a Montana lake, and the canals of Amsterdam.
