Ninety-nine years of editorialfreedom Vol. IC, No. 8 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Monday, September 19, 1988 Copyright 1988, The Michigan Daily Duvalier aide takes over Haiti Military rule returns to Burma; citizens protest PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Brig. Gen. Prosper Avril, a former military adviser for the Duvalier dictatorship, declared him- self president yesterday after ousting Lt. Gen. Henri Namphy. Avril, adjutant general of the army, said in an early morning address on national television that the Presidential Guard topppled Namphy on Saturday because it was "sick- ened" by the way Namphy governed. Namphy was sent to the neighboring Dominican Republic. Residents reported hearing heavy gunfire Saturday night near the presi- dential palace in what appeared to be fighting between military factions. Franz Lubin, Haiti's director of information, said soldiers were killed, but Avril mentioned no casualties. Avril took over a week after about 20 men armed with machetes, handguns and steel pikes attacked a church during a Mass being said by the Rev. Jean Bertrand Aristide, a vocal critic of the military govern- ment. Thirteen people were killed and; 77 wounded. Opposition leaders blamed Namphy's government for the attack and another church burning two days later. Yesterday morning, slum dwellers killed and burned the body of one man and cheered when a soldier shot and killed another man suspected of participating in the massacre. By midday, the city was quiet, but the airport was closed. Avril, who was adviser to ousted President Jean-Claude Duvalier, said Haiti will respect all international treaties, liberties and human rights and said that "dialogue will be honored for the sake of national reconciliation." Lubin said Jean-Claude Paul, .commander of the 700-person Des- salines Barracks, was named com- mander-in-chief of the army.

Gen. Saw Maung said in a statement broadcast by state Radio Rangoon he overthrew President Maung Maung to halt economic and social chaos and to hold democratic elections after 26 years of authori- tarian rule.. The fate of Maung Maung was not known, and there were no reports of casualties or arrests. Saw Maung immediately abo- lished key government institutions and slapped' an 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. curfew on the capital, the country's largest city with 2.5 million resi- dents. Public gatherings were banned, but it was not known whether the measures were only for Rangoon or for all of Burma. Shortly after the 4 p.m. broadcast, thousands poured out of their homes, some bearing spears, knives, and homemade crossbows, to protest the new regime. Protesters chopped down trees and threw them along with stones and bricks across roads to block military vehicles. "I believe the people will rise up again, and this time they are going to be angrier. It's going to be tragic," Burma expert Josef Silverstein of Rutgers University said by tele- phone. But protest organizers persuaded the demonstrators to return home before the curfew began. They were asked to return to the streets today for further unspecified actions. On Saturday, soldiers fired into a crowd and wounded two people during confrontations with protesters demanding an end to the repressive rule by the Burma Socialist Program Party, the sole legal party. Protests since July have forced the resignation of two leaders and more recent strikes, demonstrations, loot- ing, and lawlessness have pushed the nation to the verge of anarchy. About 300,000 people marched Saturday in Rangoon before the coup was announced; other groups staged hun- ger strikes. Saw Maung, who identified him- self as chairperson of the Peace Restoration Committee, has been defense minister since July. He is widely regarded as a hard-line officer and a chief assistant of the toppled President Sein Lwin.

Deflating? Stunning? Double heartbreaking? With 9:27 left in the game, the Wolverines held a 30-14 lead over the No. 1 team in the nation and had the ball, first-and-ten, on the Miami 41-yard line. Less than nine minutes later, Miami had scored 17 points, stunn- ing the crowd and dropping the Wolverines to 0-2 - their first 0-2 start since 1959. Miami's biggest play on a day of big plays was Cleveland Gary's short reception and touchdown jaunt covering 48 yards on a fourth-and- one pass from Steve Walsh with just over three minutes remaining. The scoring play cut Michigan's lead to two points. David Arnold who was crushed by a blocker as he went for Gary, intercepted Miami's attempt for a two-point conversion that would have tied the game. It looked like the Wolverines would still hang on to defeat a visiting top-ranked Miami team just as they had done in 1984. But Carlos Huerta's on-side kick was recovered by Miami safety, Bobby Harden on the Michigan 47, 'Let's face it, (we) are a good team. We can play good with anybody and we'll get better.' -'M' coach Bo Schembechler giving the Hurricanes a chance for the victory. Huerta's kick hit right in front of Michigan's front line and bounced high in the air creating a scramble for the ball that Miami won. "The front wall didn't block," said Michigan head coach Bo Schem- bechler. "When they go up high, those front guys got to knock 'em out of there." The Hurricanes moved 35 yards, using up over two minutes of time, before Huerta hit on a 19-yard field See Miami, Page 16 JOHN MUNSON/Daily Miami fullback Cleveland Gary gallops up the sideline, having beaten the Wolverine defenders. Gary scored a touchdown on this play which pulled the Hurricanes within two points, 30-28. Regents approve lowered in-state tuition plan r _ BY STEVE KNOPPER In-state student tuition will go up less than the University's Board of Regents had bargained for in July. Though tuition for out-of-state and graduate students will still in- crease by the anticipated 12 percent, Michigan residents will only see their tuition go up by 7.5 percent. The University will make up for the remaining revenue gap by dou- bling the $30 registration fees for all students, as unanimously approved by the regents Friday. Regents Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar- bor) and Veronica Smith (R-Grosse Ile) abstained, saying they voted against the July plan to increase tu- ition for all students by 12 percent. The University's Committee on Budget Administration revised the plan after Gov. James Blanchard 'urged' all state universities to keep in-state tuition and fee increases be- low 10 percent if they didn't want to jeopardize their state funding. But despite the revision, the most heated debate over tuition on Friday involved the University's Dearborn campus. The regents voted Friday to delay a $5 per term student activity fee in- crease in order to keep student cost increases below 10 percent. The fee increase was approved by the regents in November 1986 to be effective September 1988. The in- crease has now been deferred until Dearborn student leaders in their support of the activities fee increase. Though the students will still re- ceive the fee increase in January, Nielsen said, "these are increases they need now. I don't think we should delay it. The governor is saying, 'Hey, don't give students their fee. Let's keep tuition down."' "(Dearborn students) have come to us and said, 'Hey, we want it. We need it," Nielsen said. "I resent the governor coming in and telling us what to do all the time." Regent Thomas Roach (D- Saline), however, said the governor's proposal had nothing to do with the fee cut. He said the University ad- ministration made a commitment to keep tuition increases below 10 per- cent, regardless of what the governor said. But Sharfenberg said he is still confident that the students will re- ceive the $40,000 somehow. "We are going to have the fees," he said. Duck shopping?
