" Blues Radio " Lean on Me Sit IUn, Ut4 Ninety-nine years of editorial freedom Vol. IC, No. 114 WCBN board *votes to ire DJ BY VERA SONGWE After a two-and-a-half hour meet- ing, the Board of Directors of WCBN, the University's student- operated radio station, voted unani- mously to fire Henry Hardy as pub- lic affairs director, talk show host, and DJ. WCBN General Manager Emily Burns said Hardy was not fired be- cause he decided to read excepts from The Satanic Verses, but because "WCBN will not tolerate behavior that is antagonistic, anti-productive, or- in any way inhibits the ability of * the network members to perform in good faith," Burns said. She added that Hardy's consistent behavior of this nature had left her do alternative but to fire him. "Hardy is endangering the station as a whole," said Burns, an LSA se- nior. ' Members of the board said they would not elaborate on Hardy's past record because Hardy asked them not to discuss such occurrences. "I was very disappointed that the board did not vote to overturn the decision of the general manager," Hardy said. "The issue here is that I'm being silenced not for my ac- tions but for my words and my ideas." Hardy, a University graduate stu-, dent, said he was being "thrown out for what he might do, not for what See WCBN, Page 2 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, March 17, 1989 Copyright 1989, The Michigan Daily Focused Wolverines set to X-out Xavier BY ADAM SCHRAGER With all of the hullaballoo surrounding Mich- igan's coaching situation, it is difficult to re- member that a game against Xavier (12:07 p.m., Ch. 2) is going to be played today in Atlanta. While the Musketeers may not seem overwhelming on paper and to the fans, they have Michigan's coaching staff worried. "You know we still have a game to play," said Steve Fisher, who will coach the team against the Midwestern City Conference tourn- ament champions instead of new Arizona State coach Bill Frieder. "They're a good team that has a lot of weapons. Plus, they're quicker than us, which doesn't seem to be a rarity these days." The Xavier guards are the ones that worry Fisher the most. Senior Stan Kimbrough leads the team in scoring with a 19-point average after leading the team in assists last year when Xavier could rely on the NCAA's 11th all-time leading scorer Byron Larkin for scoring. Kimbrough shares the guard spot with Michael Davenport, who, while not averaging that many points on the season, has recorded successive career-highs in the last two games. "Davenport is playing really well right now," Fisher said. "He's peaking now, which is the way you want it going into the tournament." On the front line, Xavier is not as small as Michigan had first perceived. At 6-foot-9 and 6- foot-10 respectively, Tyrone Hill and Derek Strong matchup well with the Wolverines. Hill, the Most Valuable Player of the MCC Tournament and a first-team MCC performer, averaged 18.9 points and 12.4 rebounds a game. Despite the worry that Xavier poses to the Wolverines, Musketeer coach Pete Gillen is fretting more. See Xavier, Page 10 North Campus may create its own assembly JULIE HOLLMAN/Daily - Job Fair, Sid Freidman talks to student BY TARA GRUZEN North Campus students need a governing body separate from the rest of the University, says LSA sophomore Charles Dudley, who is working to establish a North Cam- pus Assembly (NCA). Although Dudley organized a meeting last night to start plans for the assembly, only two people at- tended. Although every student and fac- ulty group on North Campus was invited to the meeting, Conservative Coalition presidential and vice presidential candidates Aaron Williams and Rose Karadsheh were the only ones who came. - "I hope this is not a reflection of how North Campus people feel about each other," Dudley said. "You know we came out here to try to support you," said Williams. Williams explained that although he does think that an assembly on North Campus will separate that part of the campus from the rest of the university, he still thinks it is a good idea. "I can't let North Campus go un- touched any longer," he said. But Dudley does not feel that the assembly, which would be composed of both students and faculty or staff members, would alienate North Campus. Rather, he said the inter- ests of students there would be better represented. "I don't think MSA represents a broad enough constituency of North Campus," Dudley said. "This is not a reflection on (MSA president) Mike Phillips, but on the assembly as a whole." NCA would be led by an assem- bly speaker, who would act as a president. This speaker would serve over a cabinet made up of four stu- dents and two faculty or staff mem- bers. This cabinet would steer the general assembly. The people who would do the most of the work would be the stu- dents on the assembly, Dudley said. "The students would get more out of it and would put more into it." Dudley said the problem of fund- ing is one of the most difficult that the new assembly would face. Pos- sible ways of getting money would be from the North Campus groups represented by the body, the univer- sity reserve fund, or MSA. Although he said going to MSA for money might make NCA rela- tively dependent on the main student government, Dudley said that he does not think it would be possible to get money from the University's Board of Regents, as does MSA. He said the regents would tell NCA to work alongside MSA. However, Dudley said that would be the ideal situation anyway. Dave Fisher at the job fair in the Michigan Union Ballroom.

"Zeus on the Loose - Reaching for Olympus" is the theme of this year's Greek Week. Though events officially begin today, fraternity and sorority members worked on the Ann Arbor Shelter Association's Women in Transition House last Saturday. The shelter houses home- less women for minimal rent while they look for permanent homes. To raise money for philan- thropies, fraternity and sorority houses team up and compete in a week-long series of events, which range from riding a tricycle to jumping into 500 gallons of blue Jello. In addition to a Red Cross Blood Drive and charities chosen by indi- vidual sororities and fraternities, this year's three main philanthropies are: -Literacy Volunteers of America, which aims to increase literacy; -The Wilmot House, which pro- draisin vides a home for radiation therapy patients and their families in a joint effort with The University of Michigan Medical Center and the American Cancer Society, and; -Prospect Place, a shelter for homeless children and their families. "Our goal is $40,000, but we don't nit pick on nickles and dimes, said LSA senior Mark Weiss, the Greek Week Committee chair. "The whole week is fun and all for a worthwhile cause." t. To promote unity within the Greekosystem, fraternities and sororities have been divided up ran- domly into teams to compete in events. Tickets, t-shirts, food, and boxer shorts will also be sold to raise money. Local proprietors are also taking part in Greek Week by sponsoring events. In addition, money raised from the variety show "Greek Sing and Variety," sweatshirt sales and partic- ipation fees will be divided among the three charities.

Preselected 1989 philanthropies BY KRISTINE LALONDE A group of Nazis may be demon- strating on the steps of the Ann Ar- bor post office tomorrow and a group of counter-protesters is gear- ing for their arrival. Judy Levy, a member of the Ann Arbor Ad-hoc Committee to Oppose the Nazis, said she hopes several hundred counter-protesters will attend the rally. Levy said the committee would not disendorse physical confrontation with the Nazis, and added that the United Coalition Against Racism and the Latin American Solidarity Committee would not endorse the demonstration because of the possi- bility of violence. Members of UCAR and LASC could not be reached for comment. "Nazis are a threat to your life," she said. "This is something you can't be passive about." Levy said that although the Nazis have been demonstrating in Ann Ar- bor for eight years, it is difficult to find out'when they are coming. "We don't know what particular time (they're coming)," she said. has consistently overwhelmed the Nazi participants in the Ann Arbor rallies - last year more than 200 people counter-demonstrated. The Nazis, who mainly consist of De- troit skin-heads, left only minutes after their arrival a year ago. Over 46 police officers were assigned torthe rally, creating a line between the counter-protesters and the Nazis. Four of the counter-demonstra- tors, including one University stu- dent, were arrested for disorderly conduct and disturbing the police.

One of PIRGIM's biggest victo- ries since its establishment has been the adoption of the Freedom of In- formation Act by the Michigan State because they either don't have time or they aren't idealistic enough," said LSA junior Rich Kedzior, a PIR- GIM volunteer. The PIRGIM headquarters, located in Ann Arbor with a second office in Lansing, reports that there are about 40,000 PIRGIM supporters on statewide issues, such as supporting the Comprehensive Cleanup Act, which would provide stronger standards for cleaning up the environment. Last semester the group worked to put the Environmental Cleanup Bond, which called for $800 million F i
