Bush gains; Kemp, Hart
may drop out of race
By the Associated Press
Republican resistance to Vice
President George Bush's bid for the
White House began crumbling
yesterday as the impact of his
fabulous Super Tuesday showing
sank in. Democrats Michael
Dukakis, Albert Gore and Jesse
Jackson savored their own successes
while aiming for next week's
showdown in Illinois.
Rep. Jack Kemp (R-New York)
scheduled a news conference for
Tuesday, and sources said he would
withdraw from the race. Similar
rumors surrounded the campaign of
Colorado Senator Gary Hart, who
put his all travel plans on hold and
Pat Robertson, who talked in terms
of expanding his support for a
campaign rerun in 1992.
Senator Dole (R-Kansas) awoke
to a campaign in shambles after
losing all 17 Super Tuesday states
and concedes that success in Illinois
is critical.
Local politicos shied away from
making endorsements. Rep. Bob
Carr (D-East Lansing) said "It is
obviously a plus to have a friend in
the White House, but I don't think
you have to kill yourself in the
snows of New Hampshire to have
that happen."
Former president Jimmy Carter,
speaking in Rochester, Mich., said
he did not believe Bush would be a
formidable candidate. "As a
Democrat, I am relieved by the fact
that Bush will be the (Republican)
nominee," Carter said. The former
president added he "was surprised at
how well" Senator Gore (D-Tenn.)
did, and was most surprised "at the
breadth of acceptance of Jesse
Jackson."
Jackson's results were
encouraging for his Michigan
supporters. Super Tuesday exit
polling showed Jackson had strong
support from lower-income voters,
but Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit)
said the candidates's vote getting
ability crossed social lines as well as
racial.
Others were less impressed. Ben
Wattenberg, of the American
Enterprise Institute, said Jackson
lacked experience and described him
as a "blame-America-first business-
bashing radical."

Studies are no longer destined to

harried students. Library studies, ac-
cording to Mary Cary, admissions
director of the school, has grown be-
yond the traditional setting o f
schools and government offices and
into the offices of the corporate
world.
The field is expanding, thanks to
the rising tide of technological inno-
vations in data compilation. New
methods of storing and retrieving in-
formation create a new employment
opportunity for the computer literate.
But Cary insisted, "We aren't getting
straight techy types. We're getting
students who are more interested in
dealing with people than program-
ming."
Cary said increasingly complex
systems require what the corporations
have dubbed "research brokers." Such
workers are essential to the execu-
tive, because they hold the key to

Union protests z

A group of about 25 University workers protesting
alleged mistreatment of Building Services employees
by management picketed the University Plant Building
Services offices yesterday.
The picketers demanded, among other things, repar-
ations for two workers who they say were unfairly
treated by supervisors.
The picket was sponsored by American Federation

the University's Building Services department. Several
workers in the department have recently complained of
harassment by supervisors and have claimed that some
of the alleged incidents of harassment were racially
motivated.
"I'm fed up with all the activities going on in man-
agement... the scare tactics, the racism, and sexism,"
said custodian Eric Stevens, one of several Building
Services employees at the picket.
