rInrun *tit! Ninety-nine years of editorial freedom VOL C, NO. 7 Ann Arbor, Michigan -Wednesday, September W~, 1989 oool MSA may! cut back budget by 30% eby Josh Mitnick Ciaily MSA Reporter Faced with a $69,000 budget deficit accumulated over the last two years, the Michigan Student Assem- bly is considering cutting this year's budget by almost 30 percent. As a result, six major commit- tees and commissions could end up with budget cuts of more than 68 percent. The budget proposes serious uts for the Academic Affairs, Peace and Justice, Students Rights, and Women's Issues commissions. "We're not going to be able to sponsor the kind of projects we did last year," said Budget Priorities Committee chair Bryan Mistele, an engineering senior. "Less student groups are going to be able to get money for projects." MSA Vice President Rose *Karadsheh, an LSA junior, said she thought the budget pinch would ac- tually help discipline the assembly to find creative ways to supply funds for students. "I don't think you need excesses of money to be a student organiza- ion or to meet the students' needs," she said. However, Rackham Rep. Corey Dolgan accused President Aaron Williams, an engineering senior, of trying to close the budget issue dur- ing Tuesday's MSA meeting before the rest of the assembly could scru- tinize the appropriations. "The issue here is that Aaron and his cohorts don't like the issues Peace and Justice and Students' Rights works on and they're going to cut budgets to keep them from doing that," he said. Dolgan said the commissions that received budget cuts would have gotten slashed even if there was no deficit. He added that he and other see BUDGET, page 2 Monaghan to give up Domino's by Patrick Staiger Daily Staff Writer Tom Monaghan announced plans Tuesday to sell his locally-based Domino's Pizza Inc., worth $2.3 billion, in order to work more on his charitable causes. Some have suggested that Monaghan made the decision because he realized his controversial politics were becoming a liability for business. But Domino's Public Relations Manager Maria Pavelich said, "If Mr. Monaghan's politics have been an influence on the decision to sell, it is because of an understanding that there are those who cannot distinguish personal belief from company policy." A local group, the Coalition to Boycott Domino's, began 'a national campaign in July. The coalition includes the Ann Arbor Coalition to Defend Abortion Rights and the Latin American Solidarity Committee. According to member Phillis Engelbert, an Ann Arbor resident, the group's purpose is to inform people of Monaghan's financial connections with "right-wing" organizations. These include groups that blockade abortion clinics and groups that supported the Nicaraguan contras. "Consumers have a right to spend their money on what they want," Engelbert said. "Once they're made aware of what Monaghan supports, they can make a See DOMINO'S, page 2 Rain, rain, go away Ji Won Park, a second year student at Washtenaw College, waits for the bus More rain is expected today, along with a high temperature of 65. tAVIDsLUBUNEt nAILY in the rain outside the Union. QB Rice proves best option for Irish By Brian O'Gara The Notre Dame Observer There have bean a lot of knocks on Tony Rice since he first came to Notre Dame three years ago. First the critics scoffed at his SAT scores, which kept him on the sidelines during his frosh campaign. Next came questions about his ability to fill the quarterback role left vacant by the injured Terry Andrysiak in October, 1987. And once Rice had earned the signal-calling duties early last fall, the knocks on his arm and his passing were soon to follow. BUT THERE is one complaint that no one can have against the Woodruff, South Carolina native. No one can say that Tony Rice does not know how to win. "All summer I heard people say we could never be a great team with Tony Rice as our quarterback because he can't throw," said Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz. "I'm not particularly concerned about statistics or anything else, just look at his record. As a starter he is 17-2 and that's with wins over USC twice, Alabama, Michigan, Pitt, Miami and West Virginia. That's rather impressive if you ask me." Nothing has symbolized the obstacles Tony Rice has faced, and overcome, more than Notre Dame's Countdown to Kickoff pulled out a 38-37 come-from-behind victory. TWO YEARS LATER, again at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Rice was at his finest, directing the 27-10 win in the season-ending No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. One lingering memory from the win over USC is Rice scampering down the sideline for a 65yard touchdown, the longest of his career. "I was looking for the man I was supposed to pitch out for, No. 7 for USC, Mark Carrier," recalled Rice. "As I got toward him, I could see there was a little cut there and I thought to myself, 'If he goes a little further, I'm gone.' He did and I just took it." Rice took the ball in for the first score of the day against USC just like he has taken on the obstacles placed in front of him since arriving at Notre Dame in August of 1986 - with steady strides and eyes on the goal. "I started off slow," said Rice, referring to sitting out his first year. "And I've been fighting that ever since I've been here and I'm not through fighting. When something goes wrong you just have to work to get over it and then face the next challenges that come up. "A LOT of people said I didn't See IRISH QB, page 1C 27-10 win over Southern California in the regular season finale last year. As a Proposition 48 victim two years ago, Rice stayed behind while his teammates travelled to USC and Peaceful South African *march draws 20,000 Largest legal protest in South African history .takes place without conflict CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - More than 20,000 peaceful protesters sang songs of freedom and waved banners denouncing police brutality yesterday in *the biggest anti-government march ever permitted in this country. Police stayed out of sight as marchers, led by Black leaders and Cape Town's white mayor, clogged a mile- long route leading from St. George's Anglican Cathedral to City Hall. Organizers described the march as a historic occurrence in this racially divided nation. "We have scored a great victory for justice and peace," Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu told a crowd of 1,800 Black, white and mixed-race marchers who packed City Hall while thousands of others stood outside. He said acting President F.W. de Klerk should have been present "to see what this country is going to become... a technicolor country." The absence of police contrasted sharply with protest marches two weeks ago in Cape Town that were broken up by riot squads using whips, batons and a water cannon that sprayed purple water. "It is important to know we could have this peace- ful march toward our freedom," said the Rev. Frank Chikane, secretary-general of the South African Council of Churches. "Once that has started today, no one can ever stop it again." Protest demonstrations normally are illegal in South Africa, and the Cape Town police commander, Maj. Gen. Phillipus Fourie, said last week he would stop yesterday's march. But de Klerk announced Tuesday evening that the protest could proceed because he had been assured it would be peaceful. The far-right Conservative Party, the largest white opposition group in Parliament, said yesterday that approval of the march was "capitulation" to radicals. An anti-apartheid lawyer, Dullah Omar, praised the marchers for maintaining discipline. "What you have done is to prove that, when the po- lice are not here, when the batons and the (whips) and the tear gas is not around, then there is no violence," he said Associated Press,* A huge cosmopolitan crowd gathered in downtown Cape Town, South Africa, yesterday to participate in what turned out to be a peaceful march for change. Pollack supports free choice by Noelle Vance Daily Government Reporter The abortion issue is a ticking clock and needs to be addressed now, said State Sen. Lana Pollack (D-Ann "'arbor) last night after speaking to a group of about 60 supporters of the University's College Democrats. State legislation on the future of abortion in Michigan may come as cnnas the pendiof this month. she. believe you want the politicians to control that part of your life," she said. "There's nothing that can curtail your freedom faster than the birth of a child that you are unprepared to care for and love... once it's gone (the right to abortion) we won't get it back," she said. She urged the audience members pend partly on the 1990 census, which could cause Michigan to lose two seats in the U.S. Congress. "I could win in 1990, but by 1992 that district could disappear," she said. The state legislature is responsi- ble for redrawing the state districts, and for that reason, she said she may want to stay in the state legislature .
