Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 31, 1988 Request Continued from Page 1 Richard Kennedy, vice presidenr for government relations for th University, agrees with Sederbur: that the proposal is more rationa5 than past requests. "By using this joint partnership approach, we are not saying to the state, 'this is our need and you pro- vide it all,"' said Kennedy. "We are saying 'this is how much we're prepared to put in and you put ln x-amount too.'" Kennedy plans to stress to the Legislature that the University is in the bottom third of state funding for higher education in the country. "In the so-called age of competi- tion, if we are in competition for brain power and if we expect to be able to hold our own in the fifty states, then we need a system funded in the top third and not the bottom third," said Kennedy. At their monthly meeting in Oc- tober, the Board of Regents approved the request for a $13.5 million increase in state appro- priations, which would boost the total state funding to $261 million. -The request will be reviewed by the state budget department until January, when Governor Blanchard ivill make his recommendations for the state's operating budget. The fi- nal decision on the proposed budget will be in July. Jeff Yeargame and Rob Koeff load boxes of medical supplies onto a trailer truck headed for Juigalpa, Ann Arbor's sister city in Nicaragua. Continued from Page 1 aseo," or garbage truck, which was driven from Ann Arbor to Juigalpa last summer. The truck was of top priority because when garbage is left in the streets, it attracts flies that in turn cause diarrhea. Diarrhea is a major cause of death among Juigalpan children. The current container of mate- rials is targeted for three locations; the regional hospital in Juigalpa, Kalamazoo's sister city, Acoyapa, and the Jesuit John 23rd Institute in Managua, from which they will be distributed to areas of most need. All medical supplies will go to the hospital in Juigalpa, along with a new refrigerator donated by the city of Ann Arbor. Parts for composting toilet units that don't require plumbing, donated by Clevus Multrim Great Lakes In- corporated, are being sent to En- gineering graduate student Laura Orlando. Orlando is sponsored by the company to work on waste disposal for the city. Y i Vearmg these shoes willet you IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports U.S., S. Korea to ease trade restrictions, tensions WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration is expected to relax some diplomatic and trade restrictions against North Korea to ease tensions on the peninsula, according to U.S. officials. Although modest, the moves are believed to be the most extensive the United States has adopted toward North Korea since the Korean armistice was signed 35 years ago. An official announcement could come as early as today. South Korean President Roh Tae Woo has been encouraging the administration to demonstrate more flexibility toward the north. His- torically, South Korea has, with U.S. help, tried to isolate North Korea but Roh has altered that policy by calling for grade between the two countries. North Korea is one of a handful of countries with which the United States does not have diplomatic relations. Citizens prepare for pranks DETROIT - About 20,000 citizen volunteers, twice the number deployed in the past few years, joined city employees and officials yester- day in patrolling Detroit streets to snuff out what has become an esca- lating battle against annual Devil's Night arson. A 6 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew for children 18 and under took effect Sat- urday night and would continue through tomorrow night. Police picked up 278 youngsters Saturday night on curfew violation charges, Buck said. Last year, police arrested 496 youths who defied a similar curfew to wander the streets. They were held at precinct stations until their parents or guardian, police Lt. Philip Foster said. The Detroit Fire Department handles between 65 and 70 fires on an average Saturday night, said Robert berg, a spokesman for Mayor Coleman Young. Negative ads appear to work WASHINGTON - No one admits to liking them or even being influ- enced by them, but they work. That's why.candidates from the presidency down are running negative campaigns. "It's sort of like television. Everyone deplores it yet people watch it," says Andrew Kohut, president of the Gallup polling organization. "They don't like negative campaigning. But they have to take their cues about these candidates from what's being offered." Negative campaigns are nothing new, but the television "attack ad," a media tool that reinforces and magnifies a candidate's campaign rhetoric, is relatively new. These ads sometimes allow the campaigner to be a soft-spoken candidate while impersonal narrators trash his rival in 30-second spots on the TV screen. Cars, warming trend linked DETROIT - Automakers here are keeping a close watch on the so- called greenhouse effect, saying if the earth's temperature continues to rise, they may be forced to redesign their vehicles. Automakers say they fear a national or global policy could be enacted to slow the Earth's'warming trend, and that policy could require lighter, smaller and slower cars powered by cleaner-burning engines that pollute less. "Suppose Congress arbitrarily required 40 miles per gallon? You'd put a lot of us out of business," said Al Slechter, federal government affairs director for Chrysler Corp. Carbon dioxide, found in automobile exhaust, is responsible for about 49 percent of the global warming, according to the Environmental Pro- tection Agency. EXTRAS Honest student gives up million-dollar bank bonus KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A computer glitch gave a 21-year-old student a rare chance to get rich quick, but a spell of honesty stopped the man from withdrawing thousands of dollars from an instant cash machine. Although Neil Martin had not applied for money machine priviledges, two new cards arrived in the mail last week. He tried one - inappropri- ately named Safecard - and was amazed when the screen told him $999,999.99 was in his account. The second card registered another $999,999.99 available for with- drawal. The DeVry Institute of Technology student considered the situation overnight, and returned to a machine the next morning, where he with- drew $10 from each account. The balances did not change. "Now don't make me out to be a criminal," Martin said. "I just think it's so hilarious. It's such a blunder I can't believe it happened. I never applied for these cards." Apparently Martin wasn't the only Home Savings Association cus- tomer who became an instant millionaire last week, said Jerry Gentry, a regional vice president of the savings and loan. "It's just a little fluke," Gentry said, attributing the glitches to a new computer system that was being installed last week. 6 6 10 suspended. 9 r'\ C Independently suspended.
