I Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Monday, March 14, 1988 Dukakis addresses the AFL-CIO IN BRIEF By ANNA BORGMAN Special to the Daily LANSING - Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis courted AFL-CIO members at a manufacturing plant in Lansing on Saturday, hoping to garner support for the upcoming Michigan caucus. In so doing, he joined two other presidential hopefuls campaigning in the state over the weekend. Dukakis said he hoped to win in Michigan with the backing of a strong coalition of Democrats and a few stray Republicans. "Michigan is going to be a very important state, as it always is," Dukakis said. DETROIT MAYOR Coleman Young said over the weekend that he will vote for Dukakis himself, but has refused to endorse the candidate officially. I Jeannie Kedas, a spokesperson for the state's bukakis campaign, said she is pleased with Young's support and predicted that it would help Dukakis in the March 26 caucus. In a question and answer session at the Lansing plant Saturday, Dukakis said he is fighting an "uphill battle" in Tuesday's Illinois primary against Rev. Jesse Jackson and Senator Paul Simon of Illinois. Both opponents are natives of the state, but Dukakis said he is working hard to get his share of delegates there. He also cited New York and Pennsylvania as important upcoming primaries. ABOUT 50 workers at the Lansing plant, who were taken off the job and paid time-and-a- half for the honor, lined up to shake hands with Dukakis. Bob Meighen, a machinist at the plant for eleven years, said of Dukakis, "he's been my pick of the Democratic party." He said he wanted to ask Dukakis' views on several issues., Later, Meighen asked Dukakis about gun control, but he didn't have a chance to ask about abortion, imports, and national health care, as he had hoped. Meighen said he was pleased with the governor's response that he wants legislation affecting criminals but not hunters. TEN-YEAR-OLD bystander Mark Konwinski held a sign saying "Dukakis for President," which the presidential candidate autographed. Konwinski's mother Alita said the pint-sized politico follows all of the presidential candidates. "It was all his idea to come," she said. When asked why he supports Dukakis, Konwinski said, "he's from Massachusetts, and I had to do a book report on (the state)... Dukakis is everything you'd ever want in a President." Konwinski also said he agrees with Dukakis' views on taxes and toxic waste. Jesse Jackson was also in Lansing on Saturday, speaking at Michigan State University's commencement ceremonies, where he received an honorary degree. His appearance had caused some concern of turning the event into a political soapbox. DURING his speech, Jackson never specifically mentioned his candidacy, but made references to such political topics as the effectiveness of Attorney General Edwin Meese. Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri, appearing at a fundraiser for Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara on Saturday, acknowledged that he is the underdog of the race. Simon and Senator Al Gore of Tennessee have tentatively scheduled trips to Michigan tomorrow. The Associated Press contributed to this report. ,Elections Continued from Page 1 council meeting at least once a month. By sending representatives out to these organizations, MSA will broaden its understanding of student activities and concerns, Tilles said. In addition, MSA would have "suggestion forms" available in the dorms and libraries whereby students could indicate their individual ideas and problems, she had said. "Ideas may not always reach dorm government, school government, and, most importantly, they often don't reach MSA," Tilles had said. Common Sense also proposed to establish an office of racism and dis- criminationato;investigate reported acts of harassment and discrimina- tion. This office would be similar to both the University's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center and the office outlined in MSA's "alternative to the code" proposed last month. But it will also have a professional social worker and lawyer to offer legal advice and counseling. They hope to lobby the administration to fund the office. because neither requires ratification by students, Tilles had said. "We are not in favor of anything that stu- dents don't support," she had said. Tilles had said the assembly's in- 'Students don't know what MSA is. Those who do think it's a joke... I'm opening up to a broader constituency.' -Ricky Nemeroff, former Inter-Fraternity Council executive board member and MSA candidate resentatives were asked to vote on a resolution about Fleming's second draft the day after it was released. Nemeroff, a former member of the Inter-Fraternity Council execu- tive board and member of this year's Greek Week steering committee, came to odds with the assembly when a fraternity member was brought to trial for allegedly raping a sorority member. MSA passed a resolution calling for fraternities to be educated about rape, but Nemeroff said the resolu- tion was uninformed. He said that the Greek system had established al- chohol awareness and sexual assault awareness workshops months before the MSA resolution. Nemeroff has never worked for MSA before, but he believes his ex- perience at IFC has prepared him. "I won't be stepping into new shoes," he said. "I'll be stepping into differ- ent shoes." He said that, as an MSA official, he will be working with similar people that he has worked with in the past. "I'm not opening up my- self to brand new constituents," he said. Compiled from Associated Press reports Afghan talks face deadline GENEVA - Talks aiming at ending the Afghan war are one day away from a Soviet deadline for their completion, but a crucial dispute on who will run the country still stands in the way of a signed settlement. Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev said last month the Soviets would begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan by mid-May if an agreement is reached by March 15. But sources close to the U.N.-sponsored say they don't view the deadline as rigid. Delegations from the Soviet-backed government in Kabul and from Pakistan, which is representing the Afghan resistance, both say they are ready to extend the negotiations. UN Undersecretary General Diego Cordovez, the talks' mediator, said he asked both sides to seek "strengthened instructions" during the weekend to prepare for today's session. Union requests inf ormation on dealings in JOA case DETROIT - A union has filed a Freedom of Information request seeking to find out if either of Detroit's two daily newspapers have tried to influence a Justice Department decision on a proposal to partially merge the two papers. The Detroit News reported in Sunday editions that the FOI request from the Newspaper Guild of Detroit and was mailed Saturday to the Justice Department. The guild, local 22 of the Newspaper Guild, is the only union opposing the proposed Joint Operating Agreement between the News and the Detroit Free Press. Frank Hawkins, a spokesperson for Knight-Ridder, Inc., which owns the Free Press, said he knew of no improper contacts with Meese or the Justice Department. "As far as I know, everything has always been clean and aboveboard," he said. Israel cuts off West bank fuel JERUSALEM - Israel choked off gasoline supplies to the occupied West Bank yesterday after Palestinian protesters torched two fuel trucks and pelted others with stones. A senior official in the West Bank military government stressed that fuel would be delivered to stations that serve hospital ambulances and service vehicles. Police said more than half of the 850 Arab officers in the occupied territories had resigned in a PLO-led campaign. The army confirmed an Arab slied after being shot in the eye in a clash last week but denied Arab reports that a 5-year-old boy died from burns caused by a tear gas grenade. Jackson assails Bush's record CHICAGO - With signs pointing to another Republican primary victory by George Bush in Illinois, the vice president came under fire yesterday from Democrat Jesse Jackson, who said Bush would enter the race "with a lot of baggage." "George Bush was supposed to be over the commission on the drug situation, yet drugs are coming into this country at a rate that threatens our national security," JackSon said yesterday on the NBC show "Meet the Press." As the candidates entered the last days of campaigning in Illinois, a new Chicago Tribune poll showed favorite sons Paul Simon and Jackson leading in the Democratic race with Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts challenging them, while Bush had a 34 point lead over GOP rival Robert Dole.

According to the Affirmative Ac- tion Office's draft, an administrator in the Vice President for Student Services' office, after receiving a complaint, would conduct an inves- tigation, determine if a policy viola- tion exists, mediate the case, and notify the accused of a hearing. If the committee finds the student guilty, the panel would then choose a punishment, ranging from suspen- sion, expulsion, education, or com- munity service. Appeal requests would be reviewed by the Vice Pres- ident for Student Services. Yor education will not end with graduation.

But Warren said she called the restaurant, which said Tilles had wine and two full course dinners. Tilles said a dinner reservation was made for two to discuss an MSA program with a Harvard stu- dent, and a third person joined in for dessert. "I regret doing it because I had to change the receipt," she said. Lisa Wallace, vice-chair of the budget priorities committee and an LSA sophomore, said the committee meets only once a month, and that she was unaware of the dinners. "The meetings were for those who had missed other meetings that we had," Tilles responded. "I met with them (for dinner) to find out why they were missing the meetings and whether anything was wrong." EXTRAS 'Dead' inmate wants parole AUBURN, N.Y. - An inmate convicted of murdering two police officers claims he has satisfied his sentence of 20 years to life in prison because he "died" briefly during open-heart surgery. The heart and respiratory functions of Jerry Rosenberg, an inmate at the Auburn Correctional Facility, stopped for about 30 seconds during surgery in Syracuse's University Hospital on Dec. 5, 1986, said attorney Richard Baumgarten. Rosenberg, a self-styled jail house lawyer, was denied parole last Wednesday for the fifth time since he became eligible for it in 1981. Rosenberg claims the parole board has no jurisdiction over him because he has "died," said Baumgarten, a spokesperson for Rosenberg. Baumgarten said he sent a letter to Gov. Mario Cuomo requesting a pardon, and if it is denied, Rosenberg will pursue the case in federal court. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
