40 Wage 2 - The Michigan Doily - Wednesday, February 15, 1989 Small town takes vote on banning a new state prison WAKEFIELD, Mich. (AP) - Residents of this Gogebic County town went to the polls yesterday to decide whether the city council should ban prisons within city lim- rits. 4 A vote for the ordinance would -advise Michigan against building a proposed prison work camp within Wakefield limits, even though city leaders at one time solicited the camp, city Clerk Marsha Fetters Said. Wakefield has 2,591 residents. The prison would house 125 minimum security inmates and em- ploy 27 people, which isn't enough to.chance scaring away tourists, one development council says. "I'm expecting the vote to be overwhelmingly against it," said Tom Nemacheck, executive director of the Gogebic Area Convention and visitors Bureau. "But I don't know if the vote has any bearing on what the state will do." The development agency has taken a stand against the prison, not only in Wakefield but in any small western Upper Peninsula commu- nity. "We believe that a prison creates a negative atmosphere around it," Nemacheck said. "In a small com- munity, it creates a greater atmo- sphere." Faculty Continued from Page 1 The revised policy also provides for a 12-member committee, chaired by the affirmative action director, that will monitor all complaints. The committee will have an equal number of faculty, student, and staff members. Some of the changes in the re- vised policy were made by the Gen- eral Counsel's Office to make it conform with federal laws and regu- lations. Therelease of the draft was ac- companied by a request for faculty and staff input that may lead to changes before it goes to the Execu- tive Officers for final approval. Swain said that if any substantive questions are raised about the policy by faculty, the drafting committee will need to hold another vote. Faculty members who have con- cerns about the policy can send them to Mary Ann Swain via MTS or at 3060 Fleming Administration Building.

Walter said the symposium will identify safety problems and offer solutions to students. She said she plans to use all the compiled in- formation to lobby the University's Board of Regents and the Ann Arbor City Council "for better safety conditions." The committee will soon begin MSA's first scientifically-performed survey of the student body. Bell said the survey will enable MSA to get accurate opinions from students on a variety of questions about the quality of University life. Bell said all of these projects have been planned with 35 percent of the committee's budget left to spare. "One of the biggest problems about MSA is it wastes money," Bell said. " I hope to return that 35 percent back to the student body." Rad Ube Da"~ C~aooi~ie46 IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Immigration opens facility to process political asylum applicants HARLINGEN, Texas - The Immigration and Naturalization Service said yesterday it will begin processing political asylum applicants at a detention center outside the city, which evicted the agency last week for health and fire violations. A lawyer for Central American immigrants said the sight of a prison will intimidate some people from applying for refugee status. The applicants will not be locked in the minimum-security Port Isabel Service Processing Center, but INS District Director Omer Sewell said detention is being considered as a way to manage more than 100,000 Central Americans expected to pour into southern Texas this year The city evicted the agency from a former furniture store on the edge of town Friday. The city also obtained a temporary restraining order in state court to prevent the agency from reopening an unsafe and unsanitary facility. INS official responded by obtaining a federal restraining order to regain access to the building. Bush's budget faces debate WASHINGTON - The Bush administration, saying its 1990 budget speaks for itself, declined yesterday to provide additional details on spend- ing cuts and insisted they are shaped through negotiations with Congress. "This budget is alive and is an active force subject to change in negotiation and discussion," presidential spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater said. He said the administration would have no separate proposal for filling a spending gap estimated at $9.6 billion to $11 billion to help pay for social programs Bush advocated in his $1.16 trillion spending plan. "We'll be providing details as we go along. Everybody knows cuts have to be made," Fitzwater said. Judge rejects Justice Department proposal WASHINGTON - The judge in the Oliver North case rejected a pro- posal he said would have allowed the Justice Department to object in "bits and pieces" to disclosure of classified information after the trial got under way yesterday. U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell also challenged Attorney General Dick Thornburgh to end the case by submitting an affidavit that would bar the disclosure of state secrets needed for North's defense. Only if the Justice Department determines it must stop the case can it file an affidavit barring further disclosures under the classified Information Procedures Act, the judge ruled. "It is the responsibility of the attorney general to ensure that before classified information is disclosed in the case, that the national security can withstand such a disclosure," said Thornburgh aide Stephen Saltzburg. Court supports bus wheelchair access PHILADELPHIA - Advocates for the disabled yesterday hailed a fed- eral court ruling requiring wheelchair lifts on new public buses, but a spokesperson for transit agencies said the ruling doesn't address vexing problems. Albert Engelken, deputy executive director of the Washington-based American Public Transit Association, said wheelchair lifts receive limited use and are an- added expense to transit agencies. M On Monday a 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 that Congress has made its wishes on accessibility clear, and that lift-equipped buses are part of that mandate.. The court ordered the U.S. Transportation Department to rewrite a reg- ulation allowing communities to offer "paratransit" service, such as van rides, to the disabled. It said the 24-hour reservations that riders need to make for such, ser- vices hinder spontaneous use of mass transit. EXTRAS Loveland's postal service saddened on Valentine's Day LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) - Postal workers were running a little short of their goal but still managed to put this town's special endorsement on nearly a quarter of a million Valentine's Day letters. "We even had 10 from the Kremlin," said Mabel Thompson, who has been running the volunteer program with her husband since 1947. Postmaster Lane Edstrom said workers had put the Loveland mark on 245,000 letters from more than 100 countries Monday night. He speculated that the ailing Colorado economy and the rise in first- class postage to 25 cents last year has kept volume below the office's goal of 300,000 love letters. Last year, people sent 275,000 pieces of mail to Loveland for its special Valentine's Day posting, Edstrom said. But Mrs. Thompson thinks the recent wave of winter weather may have chilled the hearts of lovers. "The storm in the East probably hurt quite a bit because we didn't come up with as many from there as we usually do," she said.
