In Weekend Magazine *University junior talks about her life as both a student and a prisoner - Tom Waits and Disney? Ninety-nine years of editorialfreedom Vol. IC, No. 47 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, November 11, 1988 Copyright 1988, The Michigan Daily Minority report sparks protest BY DONNA IADIPAOLO AND ANNA SENKEVITCH At noon today on Regents Plaza, at least four stu- dent groups will lead a protest to demand the immediate recall of "One Year Later... Commitment to Leader- ship," the University administration's 1987-88 report on minority affairs. "It's probably one of the worst mistakes the admin- istration has ever made, a major screw up," said LSA junior Delro Harris, chair of the Michigan Student As- sembly's Minority Affairs Committee, which has en- dorsed today's demonstration. Campus organization representatives are protesting the report - released last August by the Offices of the President, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Vice Provost for Minority Affairs - be- cause it is filled with significant factual errors and omissions. THIS REPORT is one tool the University is us- ing to showcase its accomplishments toward reaching a "diverse, multi-cultural" campus, the primary goal of University President James Duderstadt's "Michigan Mandate." The 106-page report, among numerous other errors, names "the Committee on Hispanic Studies" as one of the University's ethnic studies programs. But the Campus Information Center, the Student Organizations Development Center, Minority Student Services, the Socially Active Latino Students Associa- tion, and other campus organizations, have said the committee is nonexistent. The report was compiled last summer by Shirley Clarkson, Duderstadt's assistant, who said she had to work "very fast" to complete it before fall term. She acknowledged the document contains mistakes. CLARKSON SAID she mistakenly wrote "Committee on Hispanic Studies" where she intended to refer to the University's Latino Studies Program. "I probably got the name wrong. I remember writing it down," she said. But not only was the intended reference to the Latino Studies program wrong, said SALSA members Elsa Barboza and Anne Martinez, the report also fails to describe the program. "There's no way that anyone can interpret (Clarkson's meaning) from what's written there," Mar- tinez said. But the "ethnic studies" chapter of the report contains two pages about the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies, she noted. Martinez and Barboza discussed the report with Vice Provost for Minority Affairs Charles Moody Monday. See Report, Page 2 Illini are last thorn in 'M' bowl plans BY JEFF RUSH OK, Illinois, it's time to show your real self.. Chicago or Peoria? Skyscrapers or silos? Concrete or corn? What football team is going to play in Michigan Stadium at 1 p.m. on Saturday? One whose former coach said he was ashamed of it last year and was picked for the Big Ten cellar this year, or one that in thel0th game of the season is playing for the league championship? "At the beginning of the year, everybody was talking about Michigan State and Indiana," Michigan running back Leroy Hoard said. "No one ever mentioned Illinois, but as it ends up, that's who we're playing." Surprise. Last season, Illinois won only three of 11 games overall and only two of eight in the conference. The team closed out its season with a 28-10 loss. To Northwestern. Coach Mike White left and was replaced by former Wake Forest and Kansas City Chiefs coach John Mack- ovic. White didn't leave much behind. Only 15 seniors were listed on the roster at the. beginning of the season, and only five of those lettered in each of the three previous years. And only two players on offense and three on defense who were starters in 1987 emerged from spring practice as starters this year. The 1988 season started out much as expected, with a 44-7 loss to Washington State and a 21-16 loss to Arizona State. Since then, Illinois' record is 5-1-1. The Illini are 4-1-1 in the conference, one game behind first- place Michigan. "Our players have a real understanding and a feeling that they can -be successful," Mackovic said. "Whether that's different than before, I don't know." It seems different, based on White's tirade after last season's come-from-ahead 17-14 loss to Michigan.

The decision, moved up from its original mid- to late-November date, came two days after the election of George Bush, and several representa- tives from the losing states have speculated the decision was political. Texas was chosen, Herrington said, because it received the highest combination of ratings in six technical categories and fulfilled the site selection committee's goal of finding a location that would en- hance "the research productivity and effectiveness of the Super Collider at a reasonable cost of construction and operation, with a minimal impact on the environment." The collider will be the largest particle accelerator in the world and will use about 10,000 superconduct- ing magnets to propel protons around a 53-mile underground path until they collide and break up into tiny particles. Texas received four outstanding ratings - more than any other state - and two "goods" in of six techni- cal categories. Each finalist was rated satisfactory, good, or outstanding in these categories: geology and ease of tunneling, regional resources such as schools and airports, environment, NEW MEXICO OKLAHOMA Fort Woet Daas Sper Collider TEXAS \EXIe 200 mAd" AP setting, regional conditions, and utilities. States were not ranked against one another, but Michiganreceived two outstandings for regional re- sources and conditions, two goods, and two satisfactories. Eight senators from Michigan, Illinois, Arizona, and Colorado have requested that President Reagan es- tablish a bipartisan commission of physicists to review all seven of the finalists sites and ensure that the best site was chosen. "The Texas decision has a strong smell of White House politics," said Sen. Donald Riegle (D-Michigan). Governor James Thompson (R- Illinois) said that he believed the de- cision was a "political slap in the face to the Illinois congressional delegation," citing that Illinois members did not have as much clout as the Texas delegation in Congress. See SSC, Page 2 Ann Arbor resident Frank Paul scalps tickets in front of the Union. Ticket scalpers try to rake it in BY GIL RENBERG Attracted by the demand for football tickets, an army of scalpers descends on campus a few days before each football game. They stand in front of the Michigan Union, football tickets in one hand and wads of cash in the other, knowingly breaking the law each time they sell their tick- ets. But these scalpers are "not the biggest concern" for police, who have to deal with more serious crimes, said Det. Douglas Barbour of the Ann Arbor Police Depart- ment. The police and Athletic Ticket Manager Al Renfrew are more concerned with apprehending ticket thieves than scalpers. And very few of the tickets that scalpers sell have been stolen, Barbour said. RENFREW said he wasn't aware of the scalping in front of the Union, and that he does not believe it is "a real problem." If the University or a resident complains, Barbour said, the po- lice will investigate the scalpers. Despite their lack of attention during the week, the police post plainclothes officers outside the stadium on football Saturdays. An average of one scalper is arrested at each game, Barbour said. The tickets are confiscated for evi- dence, and the scalper is arraigned in court. Scalpers found guilty must pay a $25 fine, as scalping is only a "civil infraction." But the loss of tickets is what hurts the scalpers most. Good scalpers say they can make $2,500 from one season of Michigan football games. Most of their money comes from the Michigan State and Ohio State games, which generate an average of $1,000 each, one scalper said. They usually handle an average of 25 tickets a game. ONE SCALPER, who would identify himself only as Jose, said the most he ever made from one game was $1,400, but that the best scalpers have made $3,000. To be successful, scalpers must work from Wednesday to Saturday. But if things don't go their way, the scalpers stand to lose money. Bad weather, for example, can hurt them. When rain kept fans away from last week's game against Minnesota, some scalpers were forced to sell two tickets for $1 to come away with some money.

The new president and the old met with White House chief of staff Kenneth Duberstein and later at- tended a Cabinet meeting as Bush began the work of assembling his administration. The vice president made his first Cabinet appointment on Wednesday, naming campaign chairman James A. Baker III secretary of state. He has told reporters he wants to name the decisions of the government." Bush on Wednesday promised a "brand new team" when he takes of- fice. But Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady, Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos all have been mentioned as possible holdover appointments. One man viewed as likely to re- ceive a major post in the new adm- istration is outgoing Governor John Sununu of New Hampshire, who campaigned energetically for Bush and was instrumental in his critical victory in the New Hampshire pri- mary last February. He said he hadn't been offered any post yet. BY VERA SONGWE For the first time in 50 years, about 600 people gathered in Ann Arbor last night to commemorate the Kristallnacht, the turning point for the persecution of the Jews all over Germany and Austria. "The horror of broken dreams will not have to be ni ahtmnroC nmnrP aftert nniat," cn i Rhh for religion was forgotten," he explained. The reasons, then, for the holocaust are very con- troversial, and many people do not understand why it all happened, he said. Loewenberg denied that it stemmed from a German desire to control Jewish property. That could have been accomplished without
