4 'Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 4, 1988 Police Notes Sexual Assault An Ann Arbor woman was sexu- ally assaulted at gunpoint Saturday morning in her home in the 1000 block of Vaughn Street, Ann Arbor police said yesterday. Sgt. Jan Suomala said the man, described by the victim as a 6 feet 2 inches with short hair, entered the woman's home at gunpoint at about 8:30 a.m., sexually assaulted her, and fled. The victim was treated at the University Medical Center, Suomala said. There are no suspects in the case and an investigation is continuing, he said. Attempted Sexual Assault Ann Arbor police said they are investigating an attempted sexual as- sault which occurred in the 400 block of Depot Street early Saturday morn- ing. Sgt. Jan Suomala said the victim, a 17-year-old Ann Arbor woman, was standing behind the Gandy Dancer Restaurant, when she was approached by a man who said he had a gun. The man fled after the woman called to a nearby jogger for help, Suomala said. The woman described the man as 20 to 30 years old, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, and 170 pounds, Suomala said. There are no suspects in the incident, he said. Breaking and Entering Thieves reportedly broke into a home in the 800 block of Tappan Street Saturday and stole a wallet with contents valued at $200, Ann Arbor police said. Sgt. Jan Suomala said entry into the home was appar- ently gained by removing a screen window. By Nathan Smith Space si EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) - The shuttle Discovery returned to earth and was given a star- spangled welcome by more than 400,000 people yesterday after a mission that NASA called "an abso- lutely stunning success." "Discovery, welcome back," Mis- sion Control told commander Fred- erick Hauck as he guided the ship to a picture-perfect landing after a four- day, 1.6-million mile mission. The national anthem was playing as the white ship, with its stubby Delta-shaped wings, leveled out and rolled to a smooth stop on the center iuttle lancd line painted on the hard-packed sand of this desert air base. It was pre- cisely on time, at 12:37 p.m. EST. The crowd cheered and waved small American flags for the suc- cessful completion of a mission that ended the 32-month period in which no NASA ship carried people into space. But shuttle chief Richard Truly balked at a question that implied that with the new success, the trauma of the Challenger explosion had been overcome. "Even when we've flown a few flights, we are not going to forget Is safely the Challenger accident," he said. "For the people who work in the program, that's going to be on their minds for a long time." Truly, a former astronaut, said from cursory inspection the ship ap- peared to have suffered little damage from the rigors of launching and re- turning through the atmosphere. A few tiles suffered thumb-sized nicks, he said. "We saw no problems I'm aware of in any system," said Arnold Ald- rich, who is director of the shuttle program. For 55 minutes after landing, the crew was occupied with flipping switches and turning off systems while ground crews moved up giant vehicles to "safe" the vehicle and to remove any residual toxic gases. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Soviet legislature selects new president and premier MOSCOW - Politburo member Vitaly Vorotnikov was moved to the job of president of the Russian republic yesterday, culminating the largest leadership shake-up in Mikhail Gorbachev's three and one-half years in power. At yesterday's meeting, the legislature of the Russian republic elected Interior Minister Alexander Vlasov, the republic's new premier to replac Vorotnikov. Vladimir Orlov retired and Vorotnikov was elected his suc- cessor. Gorbachev, who recommended the changes, benefits most: he was elec- ted Soviet president by the Supreme Soviet parliament Saturday. He replaces Andrei Gromyko, who retired. Gorbachev has advocated a more powerful presidency than that of Gromyko. His election Saturday gave him more power to exercise his reform program. League jeopardizes debate Presidential candidates George Bush and Michael Dukakis hailed the success of the Discovery space shuttle mission yesterday, while their top campaign aides discussed how to salvage a second debate after the League of Women Voters abruptly withdrew as sponsor. Nancy Neuman, League president, said League officials objected to art agreement reached between the two campaigns which covered all details of the debate. The agreement covered such details as the makeup of the panel of questioners, and the time the candidates would have for responses. "We have no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American people," Neuman said. George Bush welcomed the shuttle crew back to earth at Edwards Air Force Base in California, while Dukakis held a rally in Hartford, Conn. Supreme Court begins term WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court, beginning a new term: yesterday, set the stage for an important church-state ruling in a Pitts- burgh dispute over religious displays and expanded its study of drug testing in the workplace. The justices issued orders in some 1,000 cases as they returned to the: bench after a three month recess. They agreed to grant full review to 20 cases. Most significantly, the court said it will decide whether displays of a Christmas nativity scene and a menorah, symbolizing the .ewish holiday of Chanukah, should be allowed at two government buildings in Pittsburgh. In a separate action, the justices said they will decide whether a railroad may require its employees to take routine drug tests. Crude oil prices plummet NEW YORK - Oil prices continued to drop yesterday, reaching near- ly $13 a barrel, almost surpassing a low that has not been seen in two years. The November contract of West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark U.S. crude which plunged 55 cents a barrel Friday, skidded another 31 cents to settle at $13.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude prices haven't closed this low since August 1986. The price of crude has skidded $2 a barrel over the past five weeks. But experts say consumers probably won't see declines in gasoline and heating oil prices unless crude holds at these depressed levels for an extended period. While prices of gas at the pump are unlikely to drop, they may remain stable in the face of inflation. Lower oil prices also could dereaseethe rate of inflation. EXTRASq Texas state employes cross line with call-in contest AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - State employees won't be dialing for dollars any longer after their attempts to cash in on a $1,000 radio call-in contest: brought the Capitol's telephone system to a crashing halt. "We thought we had just had an equipment failure," said Carl String- fellow, state director of telecommunications. "But the second time it went down one of our employees suggested it was at the same time as one of the radio contests." Officials reset the phone system, which can handle about 2,000 calls at one time, to prevent any calls to the radio call-in exchange after the ser- vice was disrupted several times, Stringfellow said. "I guess the economy is so bad in Texas that everybody is trying to get money...But you shouldn't be using state phones to be calling on to radio contests." Let us do your alterations!
