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. 4. 4 4 DAVID LUBLINER/Daily They play football here?

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. "This is an outrageous situation because there are people who have scheduled appointments and are not able to get what they need," said city Riot Continued from Page 1 reconstructive surgery as a result of a fight. "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." Men's Ral Continued from Page 1 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." lli 54" r It' i EXTRAS Do Supremely On Your Finals!! l y SUPREME COURSE TRANSCRIPTS L..LJLE&.1 _IE March Continued from Page 1 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."
