4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 27, 1988 Computc By LAURA BERNARD "The completion date is set for early January for a new computing site between Angell and Mason Halls. To alleviate the omni-present lines at campus computing sites, the University is opening a 24-hour, 350 seat computing center. Construction for the site has been k underway since the foundation was k laid in the summer of 1987. Housing new work stations and dot matrix and laser printers, the site should alleviate some of the finals week computer crunch as well as everyday lines, said Deborah Masten, assistant director of campus computing sites. The cost of the project is included in a $2 million plan which includes the renovation of classroom facilities Heat{ Continued from Page 1 with the abilities to fix the heating, and we have notified housing a num- ber of times about the severity of the problem." The director of housing physical properties could not be reached for comment yesterday. Recognizing the amount of time it would take to make extensive re- site to open in January surrounding the site and the upgrading of elecrical work in the area. Of the funds contributed by the Information Technology Division (ITD), $700,000 has been allocated to renovation, $370,000 to internal furnishings, and $1.2 million towards an equipment budget. The operating budget has been set at $370,000 per year for staff support, supplies, and maintenence, said Bob Moore, director of budgets and finance for ITD. The Angell/Mason computing site is part of a plan to build a computing site in the new chemistry building, expand the center in the North Campus Commons, and the remodeling of NUBS, which was reopened this week. Nestled between Angell and pairs in the heating system, Mito and other faculty members have requested two fans to circulate the hot air. Yet, they have received no response to this or any other request - although some maintenance workers once stopped by to check the heating sys- tem. In the mean time, Diane Max, an RC sophomore and student of Mito's brings her portable fan to class ev- eryday in order to deal with the prob- lem. Mason Halls, it would seem likely that certain problems would arise due to the location's lack of accessibility. But Jan Sawyer, construction engineer for ITD, assures that the area hasn't caused any major problems. The only minor difficulty has been in the lack of space in which the contractors may store equipment and supplies. In July, a large crane which lowered steel supports down to the site, fell. But no time was lost on the project and no one was hurt, said Sawyer. Brian Holloway, who has been working on the site since last summer, says construction has been "pretty much straightforward... no accidents due to curious students and no electricity zaps as far as I know." The English TA offices were moved to the basement of Angell Hall because of the construction, and students and faculty are left to study and work amidst the continual noise and disturbance. But teachers such as Assistant Professor of Statistics Claude Belisle, whose office is located on the second floor of Mason Hall, says that he "just got used to it...(the commotion) was much worse in the summer." In some cases, the commotion is not easily dismissed. LSA sophomore Christa Sinz said, "the perpetual noise is irritating. I can hardly hear my TA." But the noise and construction won't last long. And the wait for a computer should shorten, as the dust clears and the walls go up before winter term. Police Continued from Page 1 ment's limited money and resources. "The training issue is very critical," said Corbett. "But where do I get dollars?" Yet Corbett said he believed the task force had valid concerns, and said he wished to help relieve them. "We do care. We want our officers to be professional." Task Force member Linda Kurtz said she felt the meeting went well. "Corbett has demonstrated his will- ingness to listen and work with us." She hopes the group will achieve its goals - even with limited re- sources. "I think a large part of the money thing is a smoke screen. There are ways to work around it if they want to."

Four cases were brought up in the meeting. But task force members were discouraged because in one case, Corbett could not pinpoint which officer had acted inappropriately, and in another the accused officer said he had acted properly. "It's really irrelevant who is right or wrong because the victims felt they had not been treated properly," Kurtz said. But education of officers is of greater importance to the task force than the ability to accuse a specific police officer. "(Our purpose) isn't to stigmatize - it ought to be to educate. These incidents are instructional," said Ann Arbor City Councilmember Jeff Ep- ton (D-3rd Ward). Although Corbett did not verify the accusations of the assault vic- tims, he did admit that the conduct of the police officers involved in the assaults could be perceived differ- ently. "The critical factor here is our of- ficer deals with virtually every kind of human emotion every day... there may be anger, there may be violence, there may be serious injury - it doesn't always get communicated as succinctly as possible," said Corbett. Corbett and the task force have arranged to meet again to make more solid plans to achieve their goals. "We have begun the process of communicating and generating solu- tions," said Rackham graduate stu- dent and task-force member Patti Myers. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Reagan says farewell to U.N. UNITED NATIONS - President Reagan told the United Nations in a farewell speech yesterday that this was "a moment of hope" for peace in the world and that a new U.S.-Soviet treaty to sharply reduce nuclear arms may be concluded next year. He called for an international war on drug traffickers, terrorists, and hostage-takers, and vowed to maintain U.S. support for an armed insurgency against the leftist government of Nicaragua. With his presidency nearing an end, Reagan struck a mostly philosophical stance as he told the 43rd General Assembly session of 159 nations that civil wars and foreign occupations were giving way around the world. Reagan said the trend was spurred by "a new era in Soviet-American relations" marked by the continuing withdrawal of the Red Army from Afghanistan. Prison hospital to be built KALAMAZOO - A federal judge has ordered the state to begin building a new hospital for mentally ill prison inmates to keep up with an expected increase of 6,000 inmates in state prisons by 1993. U.S. District Judge, Richard Enslen, ordered the hospital completed by 1993, with construction to begin within two years. He also ordered the State Department of Corrections to open four intermediate care units by 1990 for 200 mentally ill convicts. The order was the latest in the federal government's four-year continuing court case against the state regarding health services at state prisons in Jackson, Ionia, and Marquette. The new hospital will probably be built somewhere in southeastern Michigan and would replace Ionia's aging Riverside Correctional Facility, corrections officials said. Abortion ruling upheld WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court yesterday refused to stop Flint, Michigan resident, Shawn Lewis, from having an abortion her estranged husband, Carlton Lewis, sought to prevent. The justices, without comment or recorded dissent, let stand Michigan court rulings that Lewis has a constitutional right to end her pregnancy despite her husband's objections. Michigan's highest court had rejected Carlton Lewis' attempt to prevent the abortion, but gave him and a the fetus' court appointed guardian until 5 p.m. yesterday to seek emergency help from Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia, who handles emergency appeals from Michigan for the nation's highest court. Scalia referred the request to the U.S. Supreme Court which yesterday denied it. Moslem guerillas stage attack on Afghan capital MOSCOW - Moslem guerrillas staged rocket attacks on the Afghan capital of Kabul and the southern city of Pulialam yesterday, killing 21 people and wounding 33, the official Soviet news agency Tass said. Also yesterday, a bomb exploded under a military jeep in Kabul, killing two.soldiers and injuring two pedestrians, according to a Western diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity. It was not known if the soldiers were Soviet or Afghan. Tass said 16 people were killed and 27 people were wounded in a ground-to-ground missile attack on Kabul. The report said five people died and six others were injured by shelling on Pulialam. It said Afghan forces confiscated rocket launchers, a rifle, a mortar, and several machine guns. Four Afghan jets swept into Pakistani territory yesterday, bombing three border villages and killing six people, Pakistan's state-run television reported. EXTRAS Rambo of Moon Pie eaters starts training ONEOTA, Ala. (AP) - The "Rambo of Moon Pie eaters" is in serious training to try to become the first man to repeat as the world champion wolfer of the sweet, gooey Souther treats. "I've been practicing," said Rodney Frazer, a stockman at an Oneonta discount store. "I've been eating a Moon Pie every time I go on a break." His boss, John Love, describes him as "270 puonds of rompin, stompin genuine, 100 percent Alabama Moon Pie-eating country boy who loves Moon Pies like a hog loves slop." First place in the Oct. 8 contest brings $100, second place $25 and third $15. Last year, there were 51 contestants when Frazer won the title by eating 15 within the 10-minute limit. "He is the Rambo of Moon Pie eaters," Love said. Moon Pies, made in Chattanooga, Tenn., are made of a thick slab of marshmallow cream surrounded by thick coats of banana, vanilla or chocolate. "I like the banana ones best," Frazer said. "You could mix 'em up in the contest but I don't know how they'd taste." ,-LIU r Special Student Price: $1,587.00 20MB Hard Disk Model Special Student Price: $2,107.00 ZENITH INNOVATES AGAIN-WITH THE NEW BATTERY-DRIVEN SUPERSPORTM-TO TAKE YOU FROM COLLEGE TO CAREER. .
