CBS show will
visit 'U'in Feb.

BY LISA FROMM
Three years ago it was Willard
Scott and Bryant Gumbel.
Next month it will be Kathleen
Sullivan and Harry Smith.
Sullivan and Smith, anchors of
the "CBS This Morning" news pro-
gram, are expected to bring their
show to the University next month,
as Scott and Gumbel did in 1985
with "The Today Show."
Barring any technical difficulties,
the two-hour-long program which
will air live Feb. 3, will capture
campus life - both good and bad -
at the University.
Camera crews may be on campus
as early as Monday to tape events in
conjunction with Diversity Day, said
Jay Kernis, a CBS planning producer
of series and special projects. Al-
though some interviews may be
taped, most of the show will be
broadcast live from Ann Arbor, ac-
cording to Senior Producer Bob Ep-
stein.
Michigan was chosen, Kernis
said, "because it's a big, diverse,
school that has an excellent reputa-
tion, important academic and athletic
programs. .
"Ann Arbor is a great place. It's
the kind of school that has the prob-
lems that many large universities
have and they seem to be trying to
solve those problems," he said.
The recent selectiort of James
Duderstadt as president and his
Michigan Mandate plan piqued the
interest of CBS officials.
"We're interested in how Univer-
sities are planning for the next
decade given economic realities in

this country," Kernis said. "It's in*-
teresting that Michigan has a new
President that is looking ahead to the
future and is making plans."
The Mandate is the University's
plan to increase racial and ethnic di-
versity on campus, and to "face"
these issues into the 21st Century'
Duderstadt has said.
Although CBS has not yet de-
cided on a main focus, posssible
topics include academic standards,
college athletics, funding, and dorm.
life, as well as questions about race,
sex, and behavior, said Kernis.
Weather forecaster Mark
McEwen will accompany Smith and
Sullivan to campus. CBS officials
plan to interview students, faculty,
and prominent alumni on the show.
The actual broadcast site is still
unknown, although Keith Molin,
University director of communica-
tions, said the University will sug-
gest several sites, and brisk February
temperatures may drive the program
to warmer quarters.
When NBC brought "The Today
Show" to Ann Arbor on October 16,
1985 it was in tandem with a broad-
cast from Brown University in
Rhode Island. The program con-
trasted Michigan, a large, midwest-
em, public university, to the smaller,
Eastern, private college.
The NBC show was broadcast
from the Diag and drew 35
protesters from the Latin American
Solidarity Committee who were
demonstrating against what they
viewed as inadequate media cover-
age of U.S. bombing of El Salvador.

LANSING (AP) - Anyone con-
victed of shooting to death a driver
on a Michigan highway would face
the death penalty under a constitu-
tional amendment introduced yester-
day by'a state lawmaker.
The measure was introduced by
Rep. Joe Porreca (D-Trenton) in re-
sponse to recent random shootings
on freeways in the Detroit area.
If the victim is injured by does
not die, Porreca said the assailant
would be sentenced to life in prison
without parole. Someone who dis-
charges a firearm but does not hit
anyone on the highway should be
sentenced to at least 10 years in
prison, under the bill,

The shootings would be consid-
ered a felony.
The constitutional amendment
would be necessary because the state
constitution bans capital punish-
ment.
Lt. Vern Reidsma said he hadn't
seen the bill, but the Michigan State
Police normally does not take a
stand on the death penalty because it
is considered a moral issue.
Reidsma, a legislative liaison for
the department said he believes cap-
ture and conviction of highway
shooters are more effective deterrents
than the length and severity of a
penalty.
