Melissa Lopez, Secretary of the Native American Student Associa- tion, said as of yesterday they were still not sure that the group spotted on Monday was in fact Michigamua. She added that "(the members of the association) deplore any representa- tion of Native American culture that is derogatory." In October the MSA passed a unanimous resolution to derecognize Michigamua as a student organiza- tion because of offensive actions to- ward Native Americans, and also be- cause the group has been accused of being anti-Semitic and elitist. Last spring Harris said he, along with two other MSA members, wit- nessedmembers of Michigamua "imitating Indians" in public. He said they were pounding on drums with painted faces and "whooping." MSA representatives LSA junior Heide Hayes and LSA sophomore Nick Maverick said they both wit- nessed the Michigamua rites outside the Fleming Building.

I I SWAPO solidarity Associated Press.

The group feels Exxon's apology was not sufficient for the amount of damage that was caused. To signify this, they burned a copy of Exxon's published apology. "It was totally inadequate," said Foerderer.

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Helicopter crashes while working on high-rise building in Milwaukee MILWAUKEE - A helicopter being used to work on a high-rise building crashed yesterday morning near the Lake Michigan shore, but the pilot escaped serious injury, authorities said. Ben Moore, 43, of Elmhurst, Ill., was taken to the Milwaukee County Medical Complex, where he was treated for cuts to the leg and face, said hospital spokeswoman Pam Hansen. The helicopter went down around 10:25 a.m. next to the U.S. Coast Guard Station on Milwaukee's south side. A Milwaukee Fire Department dispatcher said the crash occurred as the pilot was trying to remove an air-conditioning unit from the top of a 25- story condominium. A homemade videotape showed the helicopter going out of control suddenly while lowering the unit. Police crack down in Soviet republic MOSCOW -=- Police arrested hundreds of people yesterday and seized tens of thousands of hunting rifles from Soviet Georgians in an attempt to calm the republic. Tanks, armored personnel carriers and soldiers patrolled the streets of the southern republic's capital, Tbilisi, to enforce a ban on public gather- ings and an 11 p.m. to 6 p.m. curfew. President Mikhail Gorbachev told Hans-Jochen Vogel, the head of the West German Social Democratic Party, that he considered it a "sacred" principle that Georgians and others have the right to express their opin- ions freely, but the law set limits on their actions. Yesterday was declared a day of mourning to mark what the Georgian Communist Party leader, Djhumber Patiashvili, called "a common grief" - the deaths of civilians killed in a clash Sunday with soldiers and police at the pro-independence demonstration. Nine die in Illinois apartment fire PEORIA, Ill. - Fire swept through an apartment house early yesterday, killing seven children and two young mothers. Investigators were seeking to question a visitor who left the building shortly before the fire broke out. The three other occupants of the building were injured, two of them seriously. Officials said the cause was under investigation and stressed the man being sought was not a suspect. The blaze started about 2 a.m. on the first floor and had engulfed the two-story, wood-frame structure by the time firefighters responded. "The fire was just blazing all of a sudden...I can't remember hearing (noise) or anything," said Rhonda Tracy, a relative of several of the victims who lived across the street and was first to call the fire department at 2:20 a.m. "I had never seen people come out burned like that," she continued. "It was just hysterical." Congress alters Bush S&L plan WASHINGTON - A house banking panel battled yesterday over pro- posals to weaken the heart of the Bush administration's savings and loan bailout plan by diluting a requirement that S&L owners back loans with more of their own money. In the first of a planned series of votes on proposed tougher capital standards, the House Banking subcommittee on financial institutions adopted, 30-17, a weakening amendment offered by Rep. Bill McCollum (R-Fla.). The administration wants to encourage S&Ls to get out of areas such as real estate and insurance by requiring owners to back those investments entirely with their own capital. McCollum's amendment exempts healthy thrifts already engaged in those businesses from the stricter standard. Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa), argued against the change, saying risky ar- eas not traditionally part of S&L's business helped push the industry into crisis. EXTRAS Mort exudes some class for a change ALBANY, N.Y. - Morton Downey Jr.'s television act may be all finger-pointing and shouting, but his behavior off the show is a shock: he's polite. Showing little of the swagger that characterizes his syndicated talk show, Downey dueled a former lawyer for the Federal Communications Commission Monday on government regulations of broadcasting. The conclusion? Civilized minds may differ. "I might like filet mignon and you might like hot dog," Downey said at a forum celebrating the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. "No one can dictate good taste." Downey said the government shouldn't decide what people can listen to while his couter part, lawyer Bruce Fein, argued that the government needed to take a more active role in making suie television doesn't descend into bad taste. Despite disagreements, the two were quite civil during the discussion. Fein was even kind about Downey's show.
