Berenson said the team members did not violate any team rules. "We don't want (the players) going to bars," he said. "They know that. We don't tell them how to talk to girls. We expect them to behave." While Berenson sees the incident as "serious for the boys involved," sault charge, or rape. But it's still serious and it's all in perspective." Berenson would not say what possible punitive measures will be taken against the players. A few hours after their arraign- ment, the students had delivered to the Daily a letter of apology to the women and the University commu- nity. In it they wrote, "We had no intention to frighten or harass any- one, but we now realize that what we did was offensive. Our only ex- planation is that we are young and acted impulsively. But the women who say they were victims of the harassment did not appear reassured. One of the wonen said, "It was absolutely clear that their only intention was to ha- rass us." Her friend, who said she was also harassed by the men, added, "I question whether or not they actually regret what happened, or-if they just regret that they were caught.". The women said they have been very disturbed by the extent of focus on the fact that the men were mem- bers of the hockey team, and that they were intimidated by pressing charges for the assault partly for that reason. "There's always this feeling when it comes to sexual harassment that women should just ignore it and it'll go away somehow," one victim said. Julie Steiner, director of the Uni- versity's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, said harass- ment victims "often do feel as though they're taking on the whole team or the whole fraternity." Steiner explained that because women so often seem to be blamed, or feel they are blamed, for speaking out about crimes of violence against them as the victims in this case said they felt in pressing charges against hockey team members - it is understandable when such crimes are rarely reported. Quayle backs govt. pay raises WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President-elect Dan Quayle gave un- qualified support yesterday to the controversial 50 percent pay raise for Congress, federal judges and the Cabinet. Quayle made his comments in an interview with The Associated Press as a Washington Post poll showed that eight out of 10 Americans op- pose raising the salaries of members of Congress from $89,500 to $135,000. Quayle, who served four years in the House and eight years in the Senate, appeared to take a somewhat different stand than his new boss,, President-elect Bush. On Jan. 6, Bush said he supported President Reagan's endorsement of the 50 per- cent pay raise but added he may take another look at the issue after be- coming president. Quayle did not qualify his en- dorsement. "I support President Reagan's decision to send that up to 1 Meese Continued from Page 1 Attorney General Dick Thornburgh disagreed with one aspect of the report, saying that Meese's failure to dispose of his financial interest in the regional Bell companies resulted from a failure to get adequate legal advice rather than from intent to violate ethics stan- dards. At the-White House, spokesperson Marlin Fitzwa- ter said President Reagan believes "this report was un- necessary, partly because Mr. Meese has not been in the office for some time and partly because it was un- warranted." Fitzwater said Reagan believes his longtime friend did nothing wrong. The former attorney general, who resigned last year, immediately attacked the report through his attorneys, who called it "a travesty of justice." Meese spokesper- son Patrick Korten said there is an "emotional under- tone" to the report that seems designed "to slam him personally." Meese, according to the report, violated ethical standards which require government employees to avoid the appearance of impropriety when carrying out official duties. But Korten said such a requirement is "a lousy standard." Capitol Hill. I know it's a lot but I think he thought long and hard. I support his decision." The pay raise plan will take effect next month unless Congress vetoes or modifies it. Under the proposal that Reagan endorsed, the president's salary would rise from $200,000 to S350,000 and the vice president's would go up from $115,000 to $175,000. However, the Constitu- tion prevents Bush from getting an increase for the term to which he was elected, and presumably Quayle would be covered by the same prohibition. Quayle will be sworn in with Bush in ceremonies Friday. Quayle said he will model his job after the way Bush performed it, refusing to discuss publicly what they talk about in private. He said he would not speak up in Cabinet meetings or when other people are present, giv- ing his views to Bush alone. POLICE NOTES Trapped in the Chem. Building Two men who said they were trapped in a Chemistry Building freight elevator were interviewed for illegal entry and released by Ann Arbor police Monday, Sgt. Sherry Vail said yesterday. Vail said University public safety officers found and detained the men at about 2 a.m. on Dec. 16. The men say they used the building as a short pass to a bus shelter on N. University St, Vail said. The police report did not indicate whether the men were University students, Vail said, adding that po- l ice are conducting an investigation. The University will have to decide whether to file charges against the men, Vail said. - Monica Smith HEALTH FITNESS GRADUATE DEGREES IN RADIATION, PROTECTION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN * interested in a-professional people-oriented career associated with the management of radiation sources in medicine, industry, government, or private business?

CHECK IT OUT: (313) 764-0523 -'UADIECO IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Israel toughens army stance JERUSALEM - The Israeli army began a tougher policy against Arab stone throwers yesterday, blowing up the homes of three suspects and saying soldiers could fire more freely to quell violent protests in the Palestinian uprising. Three Palestinians died yesterday and 16 were wounded in clashes with troops in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, Arab reports said. Army officials confirmed the deaths. Some Israeli reserve soldiers confronted Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and said they were forced to beat innocent people and betray their nation's values to maintain order. Shamir said the Palestinians were in- tent on destroying Israel and the the soldiers must defend their homeland. U.S. Officials have condemned the practice. They say it violates hu- man rights by punishing people without trial. State Department spokesperson Dennis Hartner said the United States was deeply concerned over the rising number of deaths. "Restraint is called for now," he said. Children slain in schoolyard STOCKTON, Calif. - A man wearing combat fatigues opened fire with an automatic rifle at children in an elementary school yard yesterday and then invaded classrooms. Five children, all refugees from Southeast Asia, were killed and 30 people wounded before the gunman killed him- se'. Deputy Police Chief Ralph Tribble said the gunman, dressed in battle gear and wearing a flak jacket, set his car on fire as a diversion before en- tering the campus at about 11:40 a.m. PST with two handguns and a Russian-made AK-47 assault rifle. Bruce Fernandes, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services, said six people were killed, including the gunman, and 30 wounded, most of tem pupils. Deputy Police Chief Lucian Neely said at least 15 of the wounded were in critical condition. Neely said police had "no idea" of a motive. Federal engineers suspect defects in Fiero engines WASHINGTON --- Federal engineers have opened an investigation of allegations that nearly 150,000 1985-1986 Pontiac Fieros are prone to fires in the engine compartment, a government agency said yesterday. The preliminary evaluation, the lowest level of safety probe conducted by the agency, was one of seven announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA said it had received 16 unconfirmed complaints of fires in the engine compartments of the Fieros, made by General Motors Corp. One of the alleged incidents resulted in an injury, NHTSA said. The new investigation affects about 147,000 vehicles, NHTSA said. In November 1987, NHTSA ordered the recall of 125,000 1984 Fieros after a 16-month investigation into alleged engine-compartment fires. "Just because there is an inquiry doesn't mean there is a defect," said John Anderson, GM spokesperson in Washington. Officials halt jail program LANSING - Development of SuperMax, a get-tough program for the worst inmates in Michigan's prisons, has been delayed indefinitely be- cause a court order would limit its impact, prison officials have decided. A key change needed to make the program work, a drastic reduction in the personal property that inmates would be allowed to have in their cells, has been temporarily halted in the courts. SuperMax, designed from a similar program at the federal penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, would deprive inmates of most of the limited privi- leges given maximum -security prisoners. The restrictive clothing and property policies, adopted under state emergency rules signed in October, are blocked by an order from Ingham County Circuit Judge James Giddings because of a lawsuit by several in- mates. Bolden said SuperMax would give prison officials more control over the behavior of a small number of prisoners, who continue to commit crimes, especially assaults. EXTRAS Radio DJ takes extra long snack break during show IOWA CITY - When disc jockeys gather to share their horror stories about sore throats or giving the wrong call letters, Daryl Berryhill proba- bly will have the topper. Berryhill, the 19-year-old late-night DJ for KKRQ-FM, stepped outside to get a snack from his car at about 12:40 a.m. Monday and found that the station door had locked behind him. After the last song ended, there were 45 minutes of silence. A friend of Berryhill's, who arrived just after the lockout, called the sheriff's office. By the time deputies arrived, Berryhill had broken glass in one back door and pried open a security cage, but had been unable to open a second set of doors leading to the studio. To add injury to insult, he cut himself on the broken glass. As broadcasting pitfalls go,"It's one of the worst," said KKRQ's morning personality Ted Burton Jacobson. Still, he said, it could happen to anybody. "Maybe the next time he gets hungry, he'll get somebody to deliver," Jacobson said.
