Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 22, 1988 Elections Continued from Page 1 Harris, an LSA sophomore and chair of MSA's minority affairs committee, of telling the story to hurt Phillips' campaign. Harris has denied the charges. Common Sense's presidential candidate Cheryl Tilles, an LSA junior, resigned from the campaign and as chair of MSA's budget priorities committee last week after she admitted to altering dinner receipts charged to MSA. Her name will remain on the ballot because of the late withdrawal. If elected, she said, she would defer her seat to the party's vice presiden- tial candidate Ricky Nemeroff, an LSA junior. "We've overcome it," Nemeroff said of Tilles' resignation, "and it's brought us together as a party. We're out there to do what our platform iS.,, THE PARTIES agree on many issues, but disagree on the priority of the issues. Common Sense party members say the as- sembly must listen to "ordinary" student interests before focusing on controversial and national is- sues. They want to increase buses between North and Central Campus, expand the University's Nite Owl bus service, get more bike racks on campus, and reduce class sizes in some LSA de- partments. Both parties are opposed to Interim President Robben Fleming's code for discriminatory acts. But Nemeroff said he would inform students about the positive and negative parts of Flem- ing's policy before he decides to make a state- ment about it. Phillips said Students First will plan on organizing student opposition to the code when elections are over. STUDENTS FIRST party members want to steer the assembly in the direction of fighting racism, sexism, and homophobia on campus through education. They support a mandatory class before graduation on non-Western culture, women's studies, or on sexism and racism. They also expect such classes will be prepared to be held during summer orientation. Common Sense party members, while favor- ing the classes during orientation, do not support a mandatory class during the school year because they say it would take up an unfair amount of students' time. Phillips, chair of MSA's student rights com- mittee, said his party favors extending the Nite Owl service and decreasing the size of classes sizes. He added that current assembly representa- tives from Students First are continuing to work on such projects. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Protest Continued from Page 1 'as, either militarily or so-called humanitarian," Austin said. Colonel Charles Tackett, an Ann Arbor resident and Vietnam War veteran, said, "I'm here to remind people not to let them turn this Honduras situation into another Vietnam. It's heading toward it, his- tfrically speaking. If they don't pull them (U.S. soldiers) back next week, kiss it good-bye." At about 4:15, representatives from several of the participating groups gave short addresses to the crowd. Barbara Ransby, representing the United Coalition Against Racism, said UCAR opposes send- ing U.S. troops to Honduras. SOUP AND SANDWICH COMBO 2.95 Tuesday Ham & S Viss Bean Soup Cup of Coffee served 11.:30-2:30 338 S. State St. Ransby drew a parallel between the racism within America, and the racism inherent in America's inter- ventionist policies in Central Amer- ica. After the speakers were finished, the protesters moved slowly into the street, chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, contra aid has got to go." They blocked the intersection of East Lib- erty and Fourth Streets, and then continued through downtown Ann Arbor, ending at the Michigan Union an hour and a half later. Along the way, protesters stopped several times to sit in intersections and block traffic. Most motorists said they weren't bothered by being stopped by the protesters. Bouncer Continued from Page 1 breast, buttocks, thigh or genitals- for purposes of sexual gratification. The University of Detroit law student, a University alumnus, said the bouncer assaulted him by grab- bing him by the neck in a choke hold two times, pushing him to the door, and shoving his head against a railing. The third student said she was knocked to the ground and kicked in the face by one of the bouncers dur- ing the scuffle. Osanloo said bouncers are auto- matically fired if they hit patrons, but the bouncer involved in the al- FEFOOD BUYSI SZE-CHUAN WEST Specializing in Sze-chuan, Hunan, and Mandarin Cuisine DINING - COCKTAILS - CARRY-OUT * In 1980.

Osanloo said he did not witness the alleged sexual assault because he was talking to the other students in the front of the bar at the time. Osanloo added that he has four witnesses vho say the bouncer did not touch tfie woman's breasts. He said the bouncer has denied slapping the woman, saying that it was she who slapped him, and that he plans to charge her for assault. Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Hartwig said bar employees have the author- ity to use force in order to remove drunk and disorderly people from their bar, but only in a defensive situation. Continued from Page 1 Maryland's code, Hudson said, does not deal with discrimination or harassment, which is judged by ad- ministrative hearings in its Office of Human Relations. Harris McClamroch, chair of the faculty's Senate Advisory Commit- tee on University Affairs, would not predict similar numbers at the Uni- versity. "I don't anticipate that there will be a huge number of cases," he said. "It's not viewed to inhibit peo- ple. It's intended (to punish) harass- ment." But Mike Phillips, chair of MSA's Student Rights Committee, feared the hearing panel will make examples out of five or 10 students by the end of the year. Then, he said, the policy could be used to regulate protest. Before the policy was passed on Friday, Regent Veronica Smith (R- Grosse Ile) echoed students' com- plaints that Interim University Pres- ident Robben Fleming allotted insufficient time for comment on his proposal. MSA has argued that any policy which imposes sanctions upon stu- dents for non-academic behavior should be run by University students and workers. Students will have a month to make comments on the policy. Noriega offers to step down PANAMA CITY - Panamanians were told last night that the nation's military leader, Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, had offered to resign before next May's presidential election if opponents agree to talks with his regime. The announcement by Manuel Solis Palma, installed last month as the minister in charge of the presidency, came as the country was paralyzed by a general strike aimed at ousting Noriega. In a nationally broadcast speech, Solis Palma said that Noriega had given his word "as an officer and a gentleman" to step down if his conditions are met. But those conditions were not likely to be acceptable to either the general's internal opposition or to the United States, who have been seeking his removal for months. Noriega put down a coup attempt by dissident officers last week and rejected a U.S. plan for him to leave Panama and live in Spain. Israelis kill Palestinian teen JERUSALEM - Israeli troopers yesterday shot a Palestinian teenager dead, and a PLO leaflet exhorted Arabs to "shower soldiers and herds of cowardly settlers" with stones, firebombs and iron bars. Soldiers were expanding their search for weapons caches in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip the day after an Arab shot and killed a soldier in Bethlehem. At least 106 Palestinians and the Israeli soldier have been killed since riots began in the occupied lands Dec. 8, according to U.N. figures. Israeli police arrested a prominent Arab-American attorney yesterday and assailants attacked the homes of two moderate Palestinians, a newspaper editor, and a member of Jordan's parliament. New poison kills cancer cells DAYTONA BEACH - Scientists have redesigned a potent natural poison so that it seeks out and kills cancer cells in the test tube, signalling a possible new route for fighting some tumors, a scientist said yesterday. The poison, so strong that a dose the size of a salt grain can kill a person, may be harnessed for fighting breast cancers that have spread elsewhere in the body, and some lung and brain tumors, said Ira Pastan of the National Cancer Institute. The strategy takes advantage of the fact that some cancer cells display on their surface certain kinds of protein structures called receptors. Specific substances bind to each kind of receptor before they enter the cell. IRA kills British police officer BELFAST, Northern Ireland - IRA gunners killed a police officer yesterday at a checkpoint in Londonderry, the tenth victim in two weeks of heightening tension and sectarian violence. Britain announced a massive search in West Belfast's Roman Catholic ghettos for the killers of two British soldiers.caught in an IRA funeral procession. Northern Ireland Secretary Tom King said in London that the Royal Ulster Constabulary has launched an immediate review of its new policy of keeping a low profile at Irish Republican Army funerals. The policy was aimed at avoiding clashes between police and supporters of the outlawed IRA. The police officer whr was killed yesterday was shot in the head in a jeep while at a checkpoint in the Roman Catholic Creggan district of Londonderry, Northern Ireland's second-largest city. He died later in the hospital. 4 4 14 I 14 Mon.-Thurs. 11:30-10:00 Friday 11:30-11:00 Saturday 12:00-11:00 Sunday 12:00-10:00 2161 W.

(AP) - A misunderstanding over postal delivery left Roger Wilson a day late and $4.02 short, causing a Wyoming tax collector and two police officers to close his cash register sales company. Wilson was back in business the next day, but not before he had to pay $27 to change locks. Wilson called the incident "ridiculous" and Mayor Charles Huizenga called it "unfortunate." "All this for $4.02. The city of Wyoming must have a lot of money to spend or they must be very short of it," Wilson said. "The cost of doing this had to be phenomenal." Wilson's short-lived tax protest began last month. He mailed his $160 in winter business taxes in neighboring Kentwood on the due date, Sunday, Feb. 14, thinking the Postal Service would get it to city offices on the next business day.

Responding to criticism about his lack of experience in Washington, Dukakis said he is the only candidate with experience balancing a budget. His main fiscal concerns are bring- ing interest rates down, creating new revenue, and tracking down unpaid taxes instead of raising them. Dukakis spoke on some of the problems facing the United States. Although he said his highest priority is creating "good jobs" for everyone, Dukakis addressed the homeless situation. "You don't have to be from Detroit to want decent housing for every citizen of this country or to end the disgrace and shame of home- lessness," he said. Before Dukakis spoke, Represen- tative Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) endorsed Dukakis as someone who knows the importance of higher education, saying that Massachusetts has given out more student loans than any other state. Earlier in the day, Senator Donald Riegle (D- Mich.) officially endorsed Dukakis.
