Duderstadt also addressed the con- cern that less than one-third of stu- dents in the professional and graduate :schools at the University are women. II To improve this disparity, Duderstadt said the ad hoc commit- tee's suggestions of active recruit- ing, mentoring, and creating finan- cial aid programs and curriculum en- richment programs are under "active consideration." Duderstadt also said lesbians are another group that has suffered from discrimination.

University student fatally injured in automobile crash 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." crease chigan 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. BY JESSICA STRICK 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.
