Student says attack was raciall
BY NATHAN SMITH
A 21-year-old University student
said she filed a complaint with the
University Affirmative Action Office
after she was called a "slimy Arab"

annual when two students approached them
by the and wanted to fight.
ground.
A fight broke out between the two
students and the graduate student, the
woman said. Several nearby police
officers saw the fight and arrested all
four students.
According to the police report, the
graduate student and one of the other
students were charged with disorderly
fighting; the woman was charged with
assaulting a police officer; and the
other student was charged with
hindering and opposing arrest.
The woman said she did not think
she had assaulted the police officer,
but according to the police report, she
jumped on the back of an officer and
hit him in the right eye. The officer
sustained minor swelling under the
eye, according to the report.
The woman, who is of Indian de-
scent, said she thinks the attack was
definitely a racial incident. "It's an at-
tack against all people of dark sking"
she said.
The woman said she filed an infor-
mal report with the Affirmative Ac-
tion office, and she did not know
whether any action would be taken
against the students. She added that
she would like to see the students do

tion.

Mouthy Mort hits Motown
BY VINCE WILK
SPECIAL TO THE DAILY
DETROIT - Move over Martha
Raye, there's a new big mouth in
town.
Mouthy Morton Downey, Jr.
wrapped up his Motown appearances
yesterday at the newly renovated Or-
chestra Hall in downtown Detroit.
Two shows were taped, the first
dealing with labor unions and the
second with racism. They will air on
Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, and Nov.
25.
Downey's show usually is taped
in his New Jersey studio, but lately
he has been taping at sites across the
country. "We were invited," said Bill
Boggs, executive producer of the
show. "We had great success at the
Apollo theatre in Harlem, addressing
issues pertinent to New York, so we
are here to address issues pertinent to
Detroit."
From its first airing, the show has
been controversial. When asked about
the show's reputation for contro-
versy, Boggs said, "That's the way
it's supposed to be!" And many of
Downey's fans agree.
"He has the guts to stand up for
what he believes," said Todd
Michaels of Lake Orion, "This is
journalism at its finest."
Not everyone in attendance was a
"Mort maniac," however.
"I think he's one-sided and doesn't
allow people to point out their be-
liefs and reasons," said Kevin Bendi
of West Bloomfield.
Guests on Downey's show who
do not share his beliefs are usually
first blasted by Downey, and then fed
to the Beast - his pet name for the
raucous audience.
Controversial issues are
commonplace on the show. In the
episode to air Nov. 25, a group of
white-supremacist skinheads were
pitted against Detroit officials and
Roy Innis, chair of the Congress on
Racial Equality. After being raked
over the coals by Mort and the audi-
ence, the skinheads were forced to
leave in the middle of the show.
They exited amidst chanting, name-
calling and obscene gestures.
Downey seems to thrive on the
controversy. When asked to name the
most controversial topic he has en-
countered, he replied "Affirmative
Action, because it burns up people
on both sides. On one side, you get
people who shouldn't get a job, and
on the other, you get people who
thinks those others are stupid. But
they're not."
For now, his formula is working.
Boggs commented that "the ratings
are going through the roof." And
Mort mania seems to be on the rise?

task is making monetary policy that
will continue the economy's expan-
sion and prevent increased inflation.
"It's difficult to do monetary pol-

"We want economic growth to con-

expand, but we have to be careful
