"But global health is not only threatened by nuclear weapons", he added. He cited Chernobyl, acid rain, the depletion of the ozone and the ef- fects of deforestation as "knowing no borders." With regard to Bush, Coffin said that he be- lieves the new President has no other choice but to deal with Gorbachev faithfully. Without strong support, he warned, Gorbachev may lose power and his successors will follow the "conservative" policies of earlier Soviet leaders. In conclusion, he stressed that "We've got to commit ourselves to the long run. Too many Americans are sprinters." Students rock for Multiple Sclerosis BY LAURA COHN While many University students were studying for mid-term exams on Saturday night, others rocked away at the Nectarine Ballroom, lip- synching their favorite rock tunes and raising money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. Seven groups of University stu- dents raised funds and performed, but the group from Triangle fraternity won the contest. "It feels really great to have won, since we put so much time into this. I did it because I knew it'd be a lot of fun for a good cause," said Rick Griskie, a junior in the School of Engineering. Griskie said about $1500 was raised from the contest for MS. Students Against MS is a na- tional organization that raises money for MS research. Last week, college students all over the United States raised money for MS through simi- lar lip-sync competitions. Jim Feiste, campus chair of Stu- dents Against Multiple Sclerosis and engineering senior, organized the Rock-A-Thon through Triangle fra- ternity, of which he is a member. "I have a personal friend from home who has MS. We never had a local philanthropy, and this year I decided that it would be a good idea to choose MS," said Feiste. Joe Bennett, a first year student who participated in the contest, said he found the experience rewarding. "The competition was pretty tough. We didn't win a prize, but that wasn't the main objective of the Rock-A-Thon. We're happy since we raised almost $600 from Mosher Jordan for MS," said Bennett.

GEO Continued from Page 1 currently underway, the administra- tion would not respond. If the proposal is agreed upon, TAs would not be required to teach sections with more than 20 students. The proposition would not increase TA salary, but would employ more TAs. However, limiting class size would force departmentsatoscreate more sections and hire more TAs, thereby requiring more money from departments. Since departments' budgets are decentralized and limited by the Uni- versity's budget, state appropria- tions, and research grants, funding for such a policy would require sig- nificant reprioritization by depart- ments. Statistics compiled by the Office of Academic Planning and Analysis show the weighted average LSA class-size for Fall 1988 to be 29 students. The statistics combine lecture and discussion sections because they be- lieve distinguishing between the two is not important, said Marilyn Knepp, director of Academic Plan- ning and Placement. The GEO and SSC hope to raise enough support by Marl, the GEO contract expiration date - it hopes a University-wide class size limitation will ,be included in the negotiated contract.

Malcolm X was a revolutionary, not a reformist. He didn't wan't to inte- grate into a sinking ship." "Once Africa is liberated, world imperialism will be destroyed," Ture said. He added that the capitalistic system is crumbling and America is more ripe for revolution today than it was in the 60's.

"This is a thorough search of the premises where the alledged attacks and assaults took place, according to witnesses," said Jaap Joubert, chief of the investigation into the death of Stompie Seipel. Police said they found traces of blood during a pre-dawn raid at the house. The men detained, according to radio reports, were members of the so- called Mandela United soccer team, who live at Mandela's home and act as Mandela's bodyguards. Three Soweto men have said Mandella's bodyguards abducted them and the boy and beat them at the Mandela house. Mandela has denied being at home when the four were brought there and has reportedly decided to remove the men from her home. Afghan President strenghtens hold KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan President Najib, in an attempt to solidify his control over the embattled government and military, has announced that he will form and lead a military council which will be responsible for coordinating the ongoing fight against the U.S.-backed Moslem guerrillas, the foreign minister said yesterday. Najib's announcement came one day after a nationwide state of emergency was declared as he worked to replace seven members of the' Cabinet who were not members of his ruling People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. The guerrillas, meanwhile, claimed to have captured a provincial capital in central Afghanistan while capturing government soldiers and supplies in the process. The guerrillas are launching an offensive against the capital of Kabul in the wake of the final Soviet troop withdrawal last week. Khomeini rejects writer's apology NICOSIA, Cyprus - Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini yesterday rejected the apology of British writer Salman Rushdie and exhorted Moslems around the world to "send him to hell" for his novel "The Sa- tanic Verses." In a statement issued by the official Islamic Republic News Agency, Khomeini said the "imperialist mass media were falsely alleging that if the author repented, his execution order would be lifted. This is denied, 100 percent. "Even if Salman Rushdie repents and becomes the most pious man of time it is incumbent on every Moslem (to) employ everything he's got, his life and wealth, to send him to hell," Khomeini was quoted as saying. Khomeini, patriarch of the Islamic revolution, last week sentenced Rushdie to death for his novel, which Moslems say insults Islam. Study shows increase in number of complaints against Det. police DETROIT - The number of criminal complaints against Detroit police officers has risen rapidly in recent years, resulting in high public dissatisfaction with the department, a newspaper reported Sunday. A four-month study of department. records showed the number of complaints rose from 497 in 1985 to 725 in 1987, while the number of investigations against officers increased from 215 in 1985 to 361 in 1987, The Detroit News said in a copyright story. In 1987, investigators found evidence that 36 officers committed crimes; in the first nine months of 1988, the figure was 45 officers, The News said. The newspaper didn't indicate comparable numbersfor 1985. Among the crimes alleged against officers, either by their own department, the Wayne County prosecutor of federal grand juries, are rape, car theft, insurance fraud, cocaine and heroin possession, armed robbery and hiring an assassin to kill someone. EXTRAS Get that bug outta my ear! BOSTON - Doctors were excited when a patient came to the hospital with a cockroach in her ear. It was a long-awaited chance to try out the latest in bug-removal technology. The best roach approach, according to a report four years ago, is to squirt it with the anesthetic lidocaine. "With hurried anticipation, we sprayed the drug briskly into the ear canal and quickly jumped back, fully expecting the beast to come hurling forth at first contact with the noxious substance," they said in a letter in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Alas, nothing happened. They tried again, this time dousing the in- truder with a bigger dose. Still nothing. "Get that sucker outa my ear!" the patient screamed. "What a brilliant idea," the doctors agreed. They hooked up a wall suction device and gently slipped the tip into the young women's ear. With a satisfying "schloop!" they nabbed the roach.
