4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 19, 1989 MSA p ontinued from Page 1 happened," Harris said. The wit- nesses' reports include sightings of tomahawks and hearing drums pounding. Associate Athletic Director Don- Sld Lund, a member of Michiga- mua's "Old Braves Council," de- { fended the organization yesterday, calling the allegations "off-base." Michigamua members and Native American students met last fall to A -discuss some of Michigamua's prac- tices.- such as wearing feathers and face paint - that Native Americans Re a-M U3e gi, might find offensive. Lund said Michigamua reached an understanding with the students, - adding that Michigamua has "done evething they've requested." F During last fall's discussion, however, the Native American stu- dents were only "aware of feathers and finger paints, because Michiguama didn't say anything about tomahawks and drums," Harris said. . "Legally they did follow the agreement," Harris said, "but only in letter, not in spirit. It wasn't done in good faith." Calling Michigamua "a high class organization trying to do its best for Michigan," Lund applauded Michigamua members for their work with children at C.S. Mott Chil- dren's Hospital. "They just do things quietly," Lund said. "They don't want any praise." He added that he felt people were trying "to raise Cain" against Michigamua. Harris, however, was critical of Lund's philosophy. Of the initia- tion, Harris said "the only thing that's visible they do is negative." Faculty Continued from Page 1 Markert, who was not dismissed but publicly censured by the University in 1954, said in an inter- view yesterday, "We thought the University ought to be a much more insightful, forthright, strong 1954: UNDER INVESTIGATION H. Chandler Davis: "If I announce my opinions publicy now, either in the hearing room or outside, they would not be listened to for their content, but in terms of their acceptability or unaccepta- bility by the Committee's standards. I will not discuss my political ideas while they are the subject of scandal and threat." Clement L. Markert: "The House Com- mittee on Un- American Activi- ties has unfortu- nately transgressed the bounds of con- stitutional authority in asking questions related to political belief and association. I cannot in good conscience cooperate in such violations of the constitution and have therefore re- fused to answer all questions pertaining to my political beliefs or associations or the lack of them." Mark Nickerson: "Both as a scientist and as acitizen I. have unequivocally rejected any asso- ciation or commit- ment which would in any way limit myoi freedom to evaluate evidence objectively and to arrive at my own intellectually honest conclusions. I do not consider that the present hearings represent a valid excuse for departing from this principle." institution in resisting those terrible, degrading pressures in society." He added that other universities took similar actions during the pe- riod and that "the University of Michigan wasn't by any means the worst." Davis and Nickerson were un- available for comment yesterday. Market and Nickerson claimed the First and Fifth Amendments before the Clardy committee in 1954. Davis invoked only the First Amendment on grounds that the committee's questioning constituted a violation of his freedom of speech, press, and assembly. "(The University) shouldn't have fired anybody. In fact, they should have come vigorously to the defense of all of us," Markert said. "The professorate has to be protected from trench and pressure from society at large. Otherwise, a University can't really fulfill its social functions that the people in this society really want it to fulfill." The program will also include a documentary video on the period, prepared by six University LSA stu- dents. "I find most students are abysmally ignorant of the past. They have no idea what happened or why or what lessons to draw from it," Markert said. "It's often said by his- torians if you don't understand his- tory then you'll go through all the mistakes all over again, and I believe that." "People did wake up and Mc- Carthy was eventually squelched and defeated, but I didn't see much effort on the part the University to rectify their past bad behavior," Markert said. In 1958, the American Associa- tion of University Professors cen- sured the Universityrof Michigan because of the University's 1954 ac- tions. All three former faculty members have supported the honorary rein- statement of Davis and Nickerson. University Provost and Vice Presi- dent for Academic Affairs Charles Vest said he would "have no idea (if) any such move" would occur.

A t d. #I cber , kshop tme -arch in land helping Marcoses hide millions BERN, Switzerland - Saudi financier and arms merchant Adnan Khashoggi - once believed to be the world's richest man - was arrested yesterday on charges he helped Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos hide the thefts of millions of dollars from the Philippines. The jet-setting arms merchant, allegedly the man who ordered the Iran- Contra arms deal, was seized by police at an elegant Bern hotel and jailed, said Pierre Shmid,.of the Swiss Federal Police Office. Shmid said the arrest came shortly after the U.S. Embassy tipped off Swiss authorities that Khashoggi was in the capital and demanded a de- tailed extradition request within 60 days as required by treaty. Khashoggi is charged with racketeering, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and mail fraud. Racketeering carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. Senate panel okays "right to die" bill LANSING, Mich. - Controversial "right to die" legislation under which a person could name an agent to make care and medical decisions was approved yesterday by a Senate committee. The bill, approved by the Senate Human Resources and Senior Citi- zens Committee, now goes to the full Senate. But the measure is likely to touch off a new firestorm in the Legisla- ture because it would extend legal protections to an unborn baby. The measure would require a guardian be appointed to represent a fetus or embryo that could be harmed by a decision to withhold or withdraw treatment if something should happen to the mother during birth. "It should be a senior citizens bill, not a vehicle to upgrade the status of a fetus," said Pamela Tobin, legislative liaison for NOW. But Edward Rivet, legislative director of Michigan Right to Life, sup- ported the bill. Bush reassures organized labor WASHINGTON - President Bush scored points with organized labor yesterday in his first post-election speech to a union audience. But Bush avoided discussing his positions on the Eastern Airlines strike and mini- mum wage. "I want this door at the White House to stay open," Bush told about 3,000 delegates representing building trade unions. "I want to work with you." The closest Bush came to discussing his recent differences with the delegates was when he said,"We have had honest differences but we agree on goals and what matters is that we make progress on issues of shared concern." Labor had several confrontations with the Reagan Administration on issues like the firing of striking air traffic controllers and White House opposition to legislation requiring employers to give workers advance notice of plant closings. Prosecutor links North to Hitler WASHINGTON -- Oliver North was portrayed to his trial jury yesterday as a liar who couldn't stop, and as "the Joe Isuzu of govern- ment" who followed Hitler's maxim that "the victor will never be asked if he told the truth," said prosecutor John Keker. But, in return, defense lawyer Brendan Sullivan said anyone "who links Colonel North to Adolf Hitler is not credible and should not be believed." Sullivan was scornful of his opponents, saying everything the gov- ernment sees North as doing "is through a dirty glass." Why shouldn't North have thrown papers away, said Sullivan, when the prosecutors referred to the secret operations of the government. North, the former National Security Council aide who was at the cen- ter of the Iran-Contra vortex, sat stone-faced at the defense table as Keker methodically dismantled his American-hero image.

Rebuked by former Education Secretary William Ben- nett, who disapproved of the consid- eration, administrators at Stanford publicly defended their decision to change the content of "Western Cul- ture." The course is titled "Cultures, Ideas, and Values." Brown University Associate Dean Jean Wu has encouraged her univer- sity to revamp its entire undergradu- ate curriculum. Students at Brown have no required courses, so a gradu- ation requirement was not a consid- eration, said Wu. With a grant from the Ford Foundation, Wu said she is changing existing courses and adding new ones. At Wisconsin, Minnesota, Stan- ford, Brown, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of California at Berkeley, students have responded to racist incidents on their campuses by introducing proposals for educational changes. Students at UC-Berkeley have been demonstrating weekly in antic- ipation of April 25 - the day fac- ulty will vote on whether or not to institute a graduation requirement on ethnic studies, said student govern- ment officer Kathy Newman. "No single group constitutes a majority at Berkeley. That's where the pressure comes from," Newman said. "We don't see ourselves in our books." JAVA r .
