Fraternities on campus will no longer be serving alcohol during rush activities, after a decision made last night by members of the Inter- fraternity Council. Twenty-three of the fraternities voted for the amendment; eleven op- posed the measure. The Interfraternity Council - a governing body of the University's 38 fraternities - votes on fraternal policies for events such as rush and Greek Week. Several national frater- nity headquarters have pushed for dry rush for insurance liability reasons. "Fraternities did this to protect themselves," said IFC Public Rela- tions chair Marcel Bonnewit. "We 1 activities had no pressures from the universi- ties, just from our nationals." Fraternities may be held legally responsible for any alcohol-related accidents involving rushces who have been served alcohol at rush functions. In addition, fraternities .may be persecuted for serving alco- hol to underage rushces. Many of the fraternities on cam- pus already belong to the Fraternity Insurance Purchasing Group (FIPG), which has a blanket risk manage- ment policy prohibiting hazing, al- cohol, drugs, and sexual abuse. It is this insurance policy which has caused most national fraternities to do away with a "wet rush." "It is time that we have realized that dry rush is here." said Patrick Woodman, President of the IFC and member of Theta Chi fraternity, pointing out that "21 houses on the campus either belong to the FIPG or abide by their rules." The amendment states that "all rush activities between 4:00 p.m. on Sunday through 11:59 p.m. on Thursday during the week of rush will be conducted without alcohol." Rush activities only take place be- tween these times. Many IFC representatives, how- ever, questioned how such an amendment would be enforced within each fraternity. The creation of a Greek Activities Review Panel (GARP) was included in the amend- ment to handle any reported com- plaints of fraternities who get out of hand during rush. January 21 is the first date for winter rush this year. Half ton of TNT explodes, kilS 35 BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - A truck bomb containing half a ton of dynamite exploded outside secret police headquarters during the morn- ing rush hour yesterday, killing at least 35 people and wounding hun- dreds. The bomb, presumably the work of drug gangs, was the most power- ful to strike the capital since Colombia's cocaine traffickers be- gan a wave of terror after the gov- ernment declared war on them 16 weeks ago. A spokesman for President Vir- gilio Barco said the bombing might be the start of a new campaign of mass killings by the drug traffick- ers, but that the government would fight on. The blast, which tore open a crater 20 feet deep and destroyed or heavily damaged a score of build- ings, occurred less than 24 hours after government investigators said a bomb caused the crash of a Colombian jetliner last month that killed 107 people. A statement from the so-called Extraditables delivered to newspa- pers and radio stations in Medellin, base of the most powerful drug car- tel, said: "We will stop the war only when the Senate understands the people must be our judge." The reference was to a bill that would permit a national referendum on extraditing drug trafficking sus- pects wanted in the United States.

One assailant then killed himself. Police said one assailant was ar- rested and that officers were combing the engineering building for the third Oman. Montreal Police Director Claude St. Laurent said three men, one car- rying a rifle, walked into a class- room and yelled in French, "You're all a bunch of feminists!" and then began firing. All of the victims were women, said Louis Courville, director of the engineering school, his voice shak- ing. Police said they could not con- firm that all the victims were fe- male. One student said a bullet passed his leg and he brought his hands up in a pleading gesture. The assailant left him alone. "lie was clearly gunning for the women," the student said. Some witnesses told police one of the men entered a classroom on the second floor of the building and divided the students by sex. They said he then ordered the men out of the classroom and then fired a number of rounds. It was not clear how many women in the classroom may have been shot. Students said the man emerged from the classroom, fired three or four shots at a group of people and ran up a flight of stairs. A car bomb which ripped through downtown Bogota, Colombia yesterday left a huge crater and severely damaged a government building. More than 30 people were killed and hundreds of others were injured. Minorit, by Marion Davis Daily Minority Issues Reporter After four weeks of searching for candidates, the Minority Affairs Commission (MAC) of the Michi- gan Student Assembly finally nomi- nated a chair and appointed a vice- chair Monday night. Engineering sophomore Ravi Gadhia - nominee for chair - must be approved by the Michigan Student Assembly before taking of- Kzech leader to offer new Cabi net PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (AP) - Communist Premier Ladislav Adamec will submit a new govern- ment for the opposition's approval by the end of the week, opposition leader Vaclav Havel said yesterday. Havel said the premier agreed to deliver a Cabinet list tomorrow. The two had a long negotiating session Tuesday and a brief meeting yester- day. Adamec, who encountered mass opposition when he named a new Cabinet on December 3, said later on national television that he would re- sign if the political crisis continued. CTK, the official news agency, said Adamec had accepted a list of possible candidates from Civic Fo- Y Affairs Commission finds new leaders fice. Scottlin Rucker, graphic artist for the Office of Minority Affairs, was appointed as vice-chair. His ap- pointment does not require assembly approval. Gadhia said he is going to work to make the commission a "hub of communication" for campus minor- ity groups. He said more communi- cation via MAC would make the ac- tions of these groups more unified. Gadhia also said he wants MAC to deal more directly with the mis- conceptions minority groups often have of each other. Gadhia has worked with U-M Asian Student Coalition and served as programming chair for the Indian- Pakistani American Student Coun- cil. But Rucker said he liked MAC's commitment to a diversity of con- cerns. "I wanted to work with a group that was concerned with (all) minori- ties and not just one group," Rucker said. Rucker, who organized a minor- ity support group for art students, said he will push for more Univer- sity outreach programs targeted at minority students. Rucker said such programs are needed to dispel the University's "racist" image. Outgoing MAC chair Delro Har- ris said he was pleased with both of MAC's selections. "I'm completely comfortable with them both." Outgoing Vice-chair Kevin Ra- mon said the commission looked for candidates who had the ability to1 break away from any bias towards one culture. Ramon said this quality was important because the chair andI vice-chair have to work with so many different ethnic groups. Ramon said other qualifications included knowledge of other cultures, dedication to the commission, time commitment, organizational skills, and previous leadership roles. "We were looking for people who had objectivity and would be able to allow the group (as opposed to the chair) to come up with decisions," Ramon said. He pointed out that the chair must steer a variety of opin- ions along one path.

"The problem is already fin- ished," said Brig. Gen. Arturo En- rile, the head of the Philippine Mili- tary Academy who negotiated all night with rebel leaders. "We all agreed that if they returned to the barracks... it would be good." The rebel decision to end their occupation of Makati came about sition presidential candidate and was swept into office by a civilian-mili- tary uprising. "In other words, their political demands and other demands were not entertained," Enrile told reporters yesterday. Enrile said that the rebels began to leave their positions from several high-rise buildings in the financial district of this capital and should be out of the area by late morning to- day. They were to be taken to the Philippine Army's headquarters at Fort Bonafacio about 12 blocks away. It was not clear if Enrile's an- nouncement marked the end of the 11 <
