Ninety-nine years of editorialfreedom , Vol. IC, No. 3 Ann Arbor, Michigan Monday, September 12, 1988 Copyright 1988, The Michigan Daily Two 'U, officers deputized t BY STEVE KNOPPER Two University public safety officers are now deputies of the Washtenaw County Sheriff's depart- ment; they can arrest citizens, carry handcuffs, and in certain cases, carry guns. Officials from the University and the sheriff's department deputized Director of Public Safety Leo Heat- ley and Assistant Director Robert Pifer last Wednesday. The Univer- sity, however, outlined strict restric- tions on the deputies' right to carry guns. The deputies cannot carry firearms during student, faculty or staff demonstrations, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Farris Wom- ack said. Womack's office oversees the Department of Public Safety and Security. WOMACK issued a document last Wednesday specifying circumstances under which the deputies may carry handguns. These circumstances include: -escorting large sums of money; -assisting the U.S. Secret Service with "executive protection" assign- ments; - or helping another law enforce- ment agency with a felony arrest on campus. Womack must authorize all re- quests to carry a gun. Many student activists, however, are dissatisfied that the University has deputized officers despite stu- dents' insistence that police presence could chill student protest. MICHIGAN Student Assembly President Michael Phillips refused comment on the issue, but Vice President Susan Overdorf, an LSA senior, criticized the "executive pro; tection" clause in the policy. "Assisting the Secret Service would be protecting people like George Bush and Ed Meese," she said. Students have protested campus appearances by Bush and Meese dui- ing the last few years. Heatley confirmed that he and Pifer were deputized, but would not comment further. Pifer was unavailable for comment yesterday. HEATLEY and Pifer have come under fire from students in the past because of their actions during demonstrations. Former Rackham graduate student Harold Marcute alleged that Heatley and Pifer brutalized him during last year's protest of Central Intelligertce Agency recruiting. City police refused to grant war- rants for Pifer's arrest based on Mar- cuse's allegations last year. But last summer, Marcuse filed suit against Heatley and Pifer. Other student protesters have criticized Heatley and Pifer's actiois. Former student Claudia Green said yesterday that Pjfer and Heatley "usod as much of their own brute force as See Safety, Page 2 JOHN MUNSON/Doily Notre Dame place-kicker Reggie Ho (above, center) celebrates his game-winning field goal moments before Mike Gillette (right) missed on a 48-yard attempt with no "time left. HoHo, Ho, BY ADAM SCHEFTER Special to the Daily SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Football is a sport that is supposed to be won by men who are faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Saturday night, however, the game was won by super-ordinary man, kicker Reggie Ho. The 5-foot- 5, 135-pound non-scholarship kicker booted four field goals, the last coming with 1:13 left in the game that put the Irish up 19-17, a lead that prevailed. "I've never seen anyone practice as much as Reggie Ho," said Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. "The kid practices during the middle of the winter with snow on the ground. He didn't come from Krypton." Ho had never attempted a field goal in a college football game before Saturday night. His only action had been on a third-period extra-point kick against Navy last season. So when he took the field to try to beat Michigan with a 26- yard field goal, one would think the native of Kaneohe, Hawaii, not Krypton, would be overwhelmed with fear. "I wasn't too nervous about it," Ho said. "I know that I have 280- pound guys on the line so that no one is going to hit me." What Ho failed to anticipate after connecting was that his own 280- pound guys would hit him. The diminutive soccer-style place-kicker was swarmed over and banged around by his big-bodied buddies. But that was fine by him. "I felt those hits," the walk-on kicker said. "But as long as I got the momentum, they could hit me as hard as they want." The last time Michigan was hit that hard by one kicker was Oct. 19, 1985, when Rob Houghtlin of grelen Iowa made his fourth field goal of the game as time elapsed to give Iowa a 12-10 win and first place in the Big Ten. Holtz had been looking for a kicker and the competition was between Ho and Billy Hackett. He spoke to last year's kicker, Ted Gradel, who said that Hackett had more potential but that Ho practiced harder. In addition, the coaches kept charts of the kickers' progress. Ho won the job with his consistency. Ho's biggest fear up to this JOHN MUNSON/Doily giant point has been academics. He didn't even try out for the Irish squad until the spring of '87 because he wanted to concentrate on academics. The junior now maintains a 3.77 GPA. After last night, one would have thought that Ho would have celebrated the victory with friends and teammates. He certainly would not have had to bring his wallet to the bar. Ho, however, said he was headed back to his apartment to study. Ho hum.

Federal officials said they would double the number of soldiers sent to battle the fires that have charred nearly half the 2.2 million-acre park. After months of drought and heat; temperatures were expected to reach only the mid-50's Sunday with humidity as high as 90 percent. Some sections of the park were dampened by light showers Saturday. "The colder temperatures are going to raise the humidity and with the higher humidity, the wood will absorb some of that moisture. It'll be less likely to burn, although the fire shouldn't have much trouble," said Joe Halliday, chief naturalist for the west district of Yellowstone. Winds were expected to stay in a more manageable range of 15 to 30 mph, well below the gusts above 50 mph that hadddriven the flames the previous two days. Fires have charred more than 900,000 acres of Yellowstone since June in what firefighters call the worst fire season in the West in 30 YfttOW~pTE I RfOHM.

But the lack of reaction didn't surprise some moviegoers or city officials. City Councilmember Jerry Schleicher (R-4th Ward) said he anticipated "no heat of any kind from anyone." "(Ann Arbor) is a very progressive town," Schleicher said. ONE moviegoer echoed his sentiments. "It's Ann Arbor, what do you expect?" said Ann Arbor resident Scott Warnock as he entered the theater. "It's too much of a lefty town for any kind of protest." It could be he's right - Ann Arbor is more receptive to controversy. Or it could be nobody knew about it. There were no movie posters out- side the theater. "Is it going to show here?" asked City Coun- cilmember Ann Marie Coleman (D-1st Ward). She added that she was pleased that the movie Yellowstone since OFFICIALS from Universal Studios, which produced the film, did not return calls to their headquarters in California. Becky Jungkuntz, who works for University Christian Outreach, said that she had personally "signed some petitions and made some phone calls" expressing opposition to the film, but did not demonstrate Friday night. The managers of the State Theater did post two uniformed security guards in the theater, but would not say if they brought in specifically for this movie. BUT even if the controversy was not evident on campus, the national uproar may have drawn more local residents to see it. "The controversy certainly drew attention to it," said Ann Arbor resident Mark Holman as he was waiting in line to see the film. He said he was religious, but didn't feel threatened by the film. Ann Arbor resident Susan Kelly said going in she expected "to be disappointed that the film won't match up to the hoopla." But other moviegoers were just disappointed by the lack of hoopla. "See, everyone thought there was going to be a protest and now there's not," said a moviegoer as she left the theater. An estimated 175 people attended the 8:10 p.m. showing of the movie Friday night. June. years. Smoke has drifted as far east as Pennsylvania and New York, the National Weather Service said Sunday. "A couple days ago most of the smoke was over the Midwest and has now gradually drifted eastward," said Brian Smith of the Severe Storms Center in Kansas City, Mo. "It's just going to have a thin hazy appearance and might create some, colorful sunsets, but it's not expected to present any health problems because it's so far up."
