Budget would *cost Mich. WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan's proposed budget for 1990 would deal Michigan's finances a $200 million blow through revenue reductions and increased responsibility for programs, state Budget Director Shelby Solomon said yesterday. Reagan in his final budget set federal spending at $1.15 trillion but included in his proposal a host of cutbacks that Solomon said would have great impact on Michigan. Federal funding for criminal * justice assistance, student financial aid, school nutrition programs and services to seniors would all be reduced should Congress accept the Reagan spending plan, Solomon said. MSA to i: BY ALEX GORDON The Michigan Student Assembly approved a resolution last night to form an investigative committee to look into alleged conduct violations of LSA Rep. Zachary Kittrie. Engineering Rep. John Coleman called for the formation of the committee as MSA president Michael Phillips passed out copies of Kittrie's alleged conduct violations in a report to the assembly. Bruce Belcher, Advice Computer Consultant, assembled the original report for Phillips. Coleman said he introduced the resolution based on his research into the MSA constitution. "I found out it (Belcher's report) was not 'only unethical, but illegal. I feel it's very I The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 11, 1989 - Page 3 Shamir concedes to U.N. f JERUSALEM (AP) - Yesterday for the first time Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir opened the way for a United Nations role in the Middle East peace process, but he again re- jected the PLO as a negotiating partner. In the occupied territories, an al- leged Palestinian collaborator was killed, reportedly by other Arabs, and 10 Palestinians were reported wounded in clashes with Israeli troops. Shamir told representatives of the European Parliament that Israel would accept U.N. involvement in Middle East peace negotiations. The Parliament has been pressing Israel to negotiate with the PLO. Shamir said any peace talks must be held directly with Arab parties to the conflict and ruled out the Pales- tine Liberation Organization's sit- ting at the bargaining table. "Such negotiations can be launched under the auspices ofathe great powers (the United States and 'orum the Soviet Union) or the United Na- tions, providing they refrain from any involvement in the substance of the talks," Shamir said. Shamir has contended until now that a U.N.- sponsored forum would be biased against Israel and force' concessions from the Jewish state. The Arab states want an interna tional conference attended by the five permanent Security Council mem bers - the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Britain and France~- who would play an active role in negotiations. European Parliament Speaker Lord Plumb said the Europeanr Community supported an interna, tional conference under U.N. ausm pices with the PLO as a negotiating partner. He said European Community members also believe the conflict could not be resolved unless Israel withdrew from the occupied territo- ries and recognized the Palestinian right to self-determination.

Some assembly members felt the report was politically motivated, and felt it violated the constitution because the assembly had not authorized it. Phillips defended the legality of Belcher's report, likening it to the equivalent of a personal letter between Belcher and himself. "I don't agree with the alot of things in the report," he said, but later added, "I think Zack broke the rules." Law Rep. Kevin McClanahan was elected to chair the committee. McClanahan said he wants "to make sure that an MSA rep. has a fair and impartial investigation." Four other assembly members were chosen committee chair randomly to make up the rest of the committee. Kittrie said Phillips was choosing to emphasize "petty politics over issues. He is criticizing me for working too hard." Calling Phillips' tactics McCarthy-like, Kittrie said "this is nothing less than a witch hunt." He said the official investigative committee was "better than having political henchmen investigating me." The report, he added, "treads a fine line between being an investigation and being nothing at all." Many assembly members questioned whether or not the report itself constiuted an unauthorized investigation by Phillips. LSA Reps. Heidi Hayes and Matt Manisfield attempted to introduce a resolution to vote on creating a committee to investigate Phillips' conduct. They cited the Kittrie report as being possibly biased and slandering Kittrie "for possible reasons that may not be conducive to the intention that justice be done." The assembly, however, defeated the motion to discuss the resolution. Phillips dismissed the resolution as "just politics." McClanahan also was critical, saying to Phillips, "If you're going to be political at least be a little more under-handed about it because this is just blatant." WAND works for. end to arms race Bank settles affirmative action case BY NICOLE SHAW The money required to provide adequate food, water, education, health and housing for everyone in the world has been estimated at $17 billion a year - about as much as the world spends on arms every two weeks, according the campus chapter of Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament. WAND is concerned about these and other issues. Since the group formed in fall 1987, it has been the only organization on campus to ac- tively educate and lobby for the end of the arms race. "The average woman doesn't feel qualified to speak on the issue of nuclear arms," said organizer Julie Berkley, an LSA senior. "So we have a dual purpose - to educate ourselves while educating other stu- dents on campus." Campus WAND, part of a na- tional group that unites women and men in an effort to reverse the arms race, spent last term evaluating the goals of the group and how it should reach out to the campus. In an attempt to inform the cam- pus community of the dangers surrounding the arms race and hove the University is involved in arm* research, WAND members are cur- rently planning educational events and demonstrations. The first event of this term will bi a demonstration on Jan. 20, where WAND members across the country:i will ask President-elect George Bush, to reverse the current escalation of the arms race. The group plans to march to the Federal Building on East Liberty t(J hear speakers and then march to the Ann Arbor News building, where the group will protest what WAND sees as the the unfair treatment its posi- tion has received in the media. As another project, the grou plans to distribute a pledge for all graduating students to sign. This pledge would ask students to "use their talents for humane and ecological reasons" and "consider all social and environmental conse- quences of their actions" when they graduate. Tobi Hanna-Davis, Director of Washtenaw WAND said, "You don't feel powerless when you belong to WAND." WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the nation's largest banks agreed yesterday to pay a record $14 million in back pay to women and minorities it employed from 1973 to 1988, but refused to concede that it had discriminated. Harris Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, 40th among the nation's banks in assets last year, said it was agreeing to settle charges originally filed by the Labor Department in 1977 to avoid "more legal and statistical wrangling." A Chicago group that had supported the government's complaint said up to 5,000 people could share in the award. Under the agreement, Harris Trust must revise its affirmative action program for women and minorities seeking promotions to professional and managerial posts, and tell the department periodically over the next three years how well it is complying with the agreement and anti- discrimination laws. The agreement did not set any quotas or goals The settlement brings to a close a 1977 case that charged Harris Trust with discrimination by promoting white men at a significantly higher rate than women and minorities with comparable skills and was paying white men more for comparable work.

However, Jackman said, "I've talked to (Farley) myself on issues concerning sexism and racism, and I've always found him to be quite sensitive about these issues." United Coalition Against Racism members Tracye Matthews and Kimberly Smith criticized Jackman in a letter to the Daily. "Mary Jack- man's testimony regarding her per- sonal relationship with Farley is quite irrelevant to the issue at hand." Toni Caldwell, co-chair of Soci- ologists of Color, declined to com- ment, but said her group would re- lease a statement about Farley within a few days.
