Bush sends officials to
investigate Alaskan oil spill
WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Bush dispatched three high-
ranking officials to Alaska yesterday
to "take a hard look" at the nation's
worst oil spill and judge whether the
government should take over the
massive cleanup job from Exxon.
With an oil slick spread across
100 square miles of Prince William
Sound, Bush said the first priority is
to protect the environment and
"clean up this disaster." Then, he
said, the government will decide on
any penalties for the spill.
The oil spilled into the water after
a 987-foot tanker, trying to avoid
ice, rammed a reef and ran aground
Friday. Fewer than 135,000 gallons
of oil have been recovered from the
10.1 million-gallon spill.
The ship's captain, Joseph
Hazelwood, was not on bridge when
the accident occurred. Instead, the
third mate, who did not have proper
certification, was in charge, accord-
ing to ExxonShipping Co., which
owns the tanker.
Commenting on reports that
Hazelwood had a drinking problem,
National Transportation Safety Board
spokesman Bill Woody said, "We
look at all areas in an investigation,
and that's an area of concern."
According to Transportation Sec-
retary Samuel Skinner, Bush has
instructed that the oil that remains
on the tanker be offloaded as quickly
as possible.
"That is our primary objective as
mandated by the president," said
Skinner. "We'll then worry about
who is going to pay for the dam-
age."
At this point Exxon is in charge
of the cleanup in one of the world's
most environmentally sensitive and
biologically rich marine waters.
By some estimates, the cleanup
will require several months. Exxon
Shipping Co. President Frank
larossi said Monday that the cleanup
was not proceeding well.
"Believe me," he said, "we've got
a real mess on our hands."

Lesbian and Gay Awareness Week
celebrates. rights of individuals
BY MATTHEW SHANKIN
Brady Gallagher's legendary blue
jeans were more than just a fashion
statement. They symbolized a life
full of humor, wisdom and deep
individual expression.
Last Friday, Gallagher died
tragically in an automobile accident
in Michigan's Canton Township. He
was a 19-year-old first-year
Residential College student at the
University.
While on campus, Gallagher
spent his time involved in acting,
music, and art, which were among
his favorite talents. His friends said
he was also a person who loved to
be with people, and he had a knack
to make others feel confident and
good about themselves.
"The word 'dynamic' best
describes his personality," said his
mother, Beverly Gallagher.
Brady Gallagher attended Loy
Norrix High School in Kalamazoo,
where he graduated in 1988. He
played the role of Tevye in Fiddler
on the Roof, and he carried on his
interest in theater by acting in the
RC production of Tartuffe. He was
also planning to be in a series of
one-act plays put on by the RC
Players this spring. This production
will now be dedicated to Gallagher.
A memorial fund, which will
provide scholarships for Music and
Drama majors, will be dedicated in
his name through his high school.

Through films, poetry readings, lectures, and dis-
cussions, the annual Lesbian and Gay Awareness Week
will address the problems of homophobia and celebrate
the accomplishments of homosexuals.
The week will end with the annual "blue jeans day"
this Friday, when Lesbian and Gay Rights Organizing
Committee members will encourage Ann Arbor resi-
dents to wear denim to show their support for gay
rights.
"It's a good opportunity for people who are gay and
bisexual to know about their culture," and to feel
"validated," said business school senior Mark Chekal,
president of the Lesbian and Gay Business Associa-
tion.
Chekal said, "It's important for our own self-es-
teem" to be "open about our sexual orientation." He
added that homophobia can exist within the gay com-
munity when homosexuals are uncomfortable with
their own sexuality.
Ann Arbor resident Felicia French, who will read
some of her poetry this Saturday, said, "As much as
we feel exempt from (homophobia), we are entrenched
in it."
French, a Black lesbian, said she has not been
"exempt" from homophobia and has been a constant
victim of "looks and stares," despite Ann Arbor's lib-
eral reputation.
While some view the city as free from homosexual
discrimination, the University's Lesbian and Gay Male
Program Office Coordinator Jim Toy pointed out that
residence hall bathrooms have been plagued with graf-
fiti insulting to homosexuals.
Homosexuals in Ann Arbor "feel tolerated but not
well-liked," French remarked, but she added that
toleration alone is not enough to erase the existing
homophobia.
Third
party
tries for
council
BY NOAH FINKEL
Most candidates for Ann Arbor
Mayor and City Council stress the
need for new revenues to close the
city's budget deficit and suggest
ways for the city to better handle its
landfill difficulties.
But the three Libertarian candi-
dates take a much different approach.
Their general philosophy is that any
government action usually exacer-
bates, rather than alleviating, a
problem.
LIST
The Libertarian candidates for
Monday's city election are David
Damroze for mayor, Jesse Walker for
Third Ward council member, and
David Raaflaub for Fourth Ward
council member.
"The 'Republicrats' on council
either make a new law or form a new
committee," Damroze said. "Both
cost the people more money... The
only justified purpose of government
is to provide protection from oth-
ers."
To ease the overflowing landfill,
the Libertarians advocate recycling,
but they do not favor making it
mandatory.
"The problem is that it's a viola-
tion of civil liberties. We say restore
individual responsibility so people
will recycle," said Walker, an LSA
sophomore who ran unsuccessfully
last week for Michigan Student As-
sembly representative on the Aboli-
tionist ticket.
The Libertarians favor a voluntary
recycling program, which was started
last year in Seattle as evidence that
voluntary recycling can lessen the
burden on a city's landfill.
"It's succeeded beyond their
wildest dreams," Walker said.
The Libertarians support the
eventual private ownership of the
landfill and a system of "freely-com-
peting garbage collectors," who
would charge by volume. Walker
said this would be cheaper than the
present system because of the com-
petition it would create and the re-
moval of a costly government
bureaucracy.
Damroze explains, "Government
should be out of the landfill busi-
ness. It either raises taxes or makes
new laws. A business has to be
more efficient because it faces
competition, but the government
faces no competition."
The Libertarians have a simple
solution to the city's budget deficit:
cut city government and have city
services, such as garbage collection
and fire and police protection, run by
private companies.
"In the long run, there's nothing
the government can do that private
individuals can't do better," Walker
said. "We should cut everywhere as
much as possible. We can get rid of
city services eventually. In the long
run, we don't need a city govern-
ment."
The Libertarians also advocate the
"decriminalization of victimless
crimes," such as drug possession,
pornography, and skateboarding, to
cut city expenses.
