IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports
Military bases fate debated
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House decides this week whether to
accept or reject a federal commission's recommendations to shut down 86
military installations and partly close five more.
A vote on a resolution to disapprove the report of the Commission on
Base Realignment and Closure is scheduled for tomorrow, and the full
House is expected to follow the lead of its Armed Services Committee.
The panel voted 43-4 last month to support the commission's report.
Savings from the plan, which also includes substantial changes at 54
other facilities, were estimated at $694 million a year initially and $5.6
billion over 20 years.
The Senate, meanwhile, takes up President Bush's $90 billion plan to
bail out and reform the savings and loan industry, with Senate Majority
Leader George Mitchell, (D-Maine), promising to resolve the issue by
week's end.
Abortion survey statistics uneven
WASHINGTON - Hispanic and Black women, low income women,
women living with someone they are not married to, as well as women in
school, are statistically more likely to undergo abortions than women in
general, according to a survey by The Alan Guttmacher Institute.
The study found that non-white women make up 16.7 percent of the
child-bearing age population, but accounted for 31.4 percent of the
abortions.
Women with family incomes below $11,000 accounted for 33.1 per-
cent of the of those receiving abortions although they made up only 29.2
percent of the child-bearing population.
Unmarried women living with a man constituted 17.4 percent of
abortion clients although they only made up 3.4 percent of all women of
child-bearing age.
Students constituted 31.1 percent of those seeking abortions, but
makeup just 20.5 percent of all women of child-bearing age.
Exxon's cleanup examined
VALDEZ, Alaska - State and federal officials dissected Exxon's
cleanup plan for hundreds of miles of shoreline yesterday as an environ-
mentally risky steam-cleaning method was tested on rocks blackened by
America's oil spill.
The jets of high-pressure steam from the sprayers upend rocks, strip
away sand and gravel, and kill beach life.
Adm. Paul Yost, the Coast Guard commandant sent by President Bush
to hasten the operations, said he believes the steam method is the only
one that can cleanse the sound's shoreline.
Yost said Saturday that it might take three weeks to get Exxon's
cleanup underway.
"I wish it were two or three weeks ago," said Dennis Kelso, Alaska's
environmental chief.
About 3,000 rocky beaches were tainted by the oil in Prince William
Sound. The 44 beaches targeted for immediate cleanup have at least 240
miles of often rugged shoreline.
Fusion exp. results doubted
SEATTLE - University of Washington researchers duplicated a cold
fusion experiment developed at the University of Utah, but could not get
the same results using a control experiment with ordinary water, a
university spokesperson said Thursday.
Results of the experiment address a major objection for physicists
who doubt Utah chemist Stanley Pons and co-investigator Martin
Fleischmann actually produced the "fusion in a bottle" in their
experiment. Pons and Fleischmann said their experiment used a rod of
palladium and a coil of platinum immersed in a beaker of "heavy water".
Harold Furth, director of plasma physics at Princeton University, said
top physicists will not take the Utah findings seriously until the precise
process is demonstrated and explained fully with control experiments.

Police Captain Paul Bunten, is
also pressing assault charges against
an Operation Rescuer who allegedly
grabbed him and pulled him out of a
doorway.
Eventually staff members and pa-
tients were able to enter the clinic by
climbing over a fence. Menin said
the clinic was unable to see as many
patients as it usually does.

"The police started kicking people
off of South U. and naturally they
headed towards State St.," said
Hamilton.
The assailant faces five years in
prison if convicted.
The police department is still
looking into the possibility of using
video tapes from Detroit television
council member Ann-Marie Cole-
man (D-First Ward) who attended the
protest. She added that the she was
frustrated with the Police Depart-
ment's slow response.
The police are "avoiding the
(Operation Rescue) people in charge.
If they would arrest the people with
the head phones they would not be
able to communicate," said pro-
choice protester, and RC sophomore
Elizabeth Heinlen.
Dawn Chalker, chair of the
Committee to Defend Abortion
Rights, said the counter protest was
"quite effective and just shows that
there are as many pro-choice people
who are more committed." She said
pro-choice protestors mobilized
quickly despite Operation Rescue's
unexpectedly quick strike.
station WDIV-TV, which has the
only tape of the riot in which people
can be clearly recognized. WDIV has
given permission to allow police
officers to see the tapes, but did not
give permission for public viewing.
Ehnis said despite the the actions
of those on S. University, many of
those arrested seemed "like nice peo-
ple. On an average day, they're just
like you and me. On this one night,
they got caught up in the excite-
ment. I've never seen anything like
this. It was a unique situation. I
can't explain it."

of a chance of escaping rape in their
lifetime."
The source of the problem, said
Wheeler, is the white, male domi-
nated hierarchy of our nation with a
legal system such as the one in
Florida - where many men of color
are convicted and sentenced to death
for raping white women, yet not a
single white male convict is sen-
tenced to death for the raping of a
woman of color.
Mark Chekal, another member of
LGMPO, angrily chided SAPAC for
neglecting gay and lesbian issues.
He criticized the organization's
awareness video which features
white, heterosexual characters. "The
two percent of all men who are gay
or bisexual are made invisible by
SAPAC's failure to address their is-
sues," said Chekal, a senior in the
Business School.
One anonymous member of
Touch Stone - Adult Survivors of
Child Abuse and Incest, who was
spontaneously asked to speak, gave
an account of the shame he endured
as a victim of child incest. He told
of the taboo that is particular to men
as victims of rape. "There are many
women who will publicly state tha
* they are victims of rape. Very few
men are willing to do this."
"With a third of all children be-
ing assaulted, I think we have a re-
sponsibility as men to speak out
against the assault of children," he
said.
The rally also featured original
numbers by musician John Guildry ,
and the Talk to Us theater troupe
which performed skits and fielded
questions from the audience.
In anticipation of the marcher's
return, men held up a banner featur-
ing the caption "Men Supporting
Women Taking Back the Night" and
signatures supporting women's soli-
darity.
When asked how he felt about
being excluded from the march,
Millard Elder, a participant in the
rally for five straight years, said, "At
first I felt left out, but now I realize
the importance of empowering
women's solidarity." Elder also ex-
pressed his shame for the presence of
f the National Organization of Men
f who had earlier harassed the partici-
s pants of the rally.
"Men don't need to take back the
night," said Keiser. "I think the
march is very important because few
events are really safe for women.
y The rally proves that men have a
place."

attacking her."
AACAR members read the de-
mands of the march, some of which
included repealing Proposal A, up-
holding Roe V. Wade, and expanding
the University's student harrassment
policy to apply to all off-campus
groups such as fraternities. And then
the marchers began the annual three
mile route.
The route of the march was
planned to target poorly lit areas.
Marchers passed through residential
areas because 50 percent of rapes oc-
cur in residences, and by residence
halls and fraternities to protest date
and acquaintance rape, said LSA se-
nior and AACAR member Nadine
Nienhuis.
Marchers passed President Duder-
stadt's residence to protest the
"insensitivity and lack of genuine
commitment on Duderstadt's part to
the needs of women and people of
color," according to the march's
program.
Nursing School Junior Lisa Wal-
lace, who also attended the April 9
march for women's equality in
Washington D.C. organized by the
National Organization for Women,
said, "This is so much better than
D.C. - There were so many people
there, but no unity. Here, there's so
much unity."
Love animals? Rent-a-pet
BATTLE CREEK, Michigan - Plenty of petless people can't resist
the adorable approaching puppy on someone else's leash. Others have a
hard time walking away from the playful kittens in the pet shop window.
They love animals, but they cringe at the thought of freezing midnight
walks, costly vet bills, and housebreaking.
Ernest Oliver has an answer: Rent-A-Pet.
You can walk into Oliver's dog grooming shop and choose among
eight poodles, a beagle-mix pup, a collie, .four kittens, and two cats,
which you "rent" for a fee.
"People can come in here, pick up a puppy, love it, talk nonsense to it
and then leave with none of the responsibilities," said Oliver,"There's
nothing else like holding and loving a pet."
