(AP) - Warned by President Bush that the nation is imperiled when children "emerge into adulthood ignorant and unskilled," the education summit yesterday forged goals against which every public school in America can be judged. ,.. Governors and White House aides at the summit jointly drafted the list of objectives, which ranged from re- ; versing a dropout rate that sends nearly one youth in three into the job market without a diploma to making educators more accountable or their pupils' classroom perfor- Michige.n Daily ~ ARTS 76.-037?, Religious Services CANTERBURY HOUSE (Episcopal Church Chaplaincy) 218 N.

At a convocation with the gover- nors, a beaming Bush sported a blue and orange striped necktie in the col- ors of the University of Virginia, site of the summit, and declared himself pleased by "the commit- ment, the creativity and the knowl- edge that my fellow chief executives bring here to this education reform agenda." The summit didn't reach conclu- sions on how to pay for the reforms that all agreed were essential to the nation's future. "We just don't think that at this time it's worth lettingkthe summit break apart over a fight over how much money they'll have to put up next year," said Democratic Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas. itizens' groups sue NASA WASHINGTON (AP) - Three citizens' groups, claiming "a poten- tial disaster in the making over Florida," filed suit yesterday to pre- vent the launch of a nuclear-powered probe on the space shuttle next month. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court, contends an accident during the launch of the nuclear-powered Galileo space probe could spread poisonous plutonium over a heavily populated area of Florida. "There's a potential disaster in the making over Florida," Jeremy Rifkin, president of the Foundation on Economic Trends, said at a news conference. "We are determined that that will not take place." Bruce Gagnon of the Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice said that if the lawsuit is not successful, his organization plans "to put people in the launch area to sit on top of the launch pad in an effort to stop the launch." The president called for greater competition in education "between students, between teachers and be- tween schools" and "a report card for all," in which parents educators and students could all see how their schools rank. "The American people are ready for radical reforms," Bush said. "We must not disappoint them." Bush ticked off what national tests have shown the problem to be. He said "fewer than one high school junior in four can write an adequate persuasive letter and only half can manage decimal, fractions and per- centages and barely one in three can locate the Civil War in the correct half century." He concluded: "No modern nation can long afford to allow so many of its sons and daughters to emerge into adulthood ignorant and unskilled. 1400 at the Conservative service. The Orthodox and Reform services will be held at Hillel, and the larger Conserva- tive service will be held at the Michi- gan Union Ballroom. Cohane said, "These holidays al- ways get more participation... the way on Christmas and Easter you would get more numbers than on a regular Sunday." He added that non-Jewish friends of Jewish students often come along, especially to the Reform serv- ice. Students who preferra less formal religious atmosphere for the holidays often turn to the Chabad House, a Jewish co-op. Ester Goldstein, wife of Chabad's director Aharon Goldstein, said the co-op attracts students who might be intimidated by a more tradi- tional service. At Chabad, she said, "one can be as religious or as irrelig- ious as one wants." Others find even more relaxed ways to celebrateRosh Hashanah. SaidLSA senior Stephanie Brown, "I'm going over to a friend's house for dinner." RECYCLING Continued from page 1 If the ordinance is passed, the University might be able to petition the city to re-allow them to use the Ann Arbor landfill, thus decreasing the price of transporting the waste, said George Sanfacon, director of Housing Facilities. Councilmember Liz Brater (D- Third Ward) agreed that it might eventually be possible for the University to return to using the Ann Arbor landfill site. "One of the objectives is to bring people back to the landfill after the crisis," she said. Sanfacon also said that the amount of trash which the University will need to put in the landfill may be significantly less than in the past because of a new re- cycling program in University resi- dence halls. The new program, which has been in operation since the begin- ning of the term, has already diverted approximately 21 tons of cardboard and newsprint to the Ann Arbor Recycling center. Students in residence halls are en- couraged to separate their cardboard and newspaper from the rest of their trash and put those items in specified "recycling closets." The recyclables are then brought to a pickup dock and collected by special transfer ve- hicles. The project will cost an approx- imate $150,000 a year, an increase of $14 a year for each student's room and board rate, said Sanfancon. Although the project in the resi- dence halls is still in its initial stages, Doug Fasing, manager of Grounds and Waste Management at the University, said he hopes that participation will increase. In the next year to two years, he expects programs will be implemented to encourage recycling in other parts of the University. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Soviet party boss ousted MOSCOW (AP) - The conservative chief of the Ukranian Communist Party lost his position as boss of the Soviet Union's strongest political machine yesterday to a progressive protege of President Mikhail Gorbachev. Gorbachev sharply criticized the dictatorial style of the ousted official, Vladimir Shcherbitsky, who ran the Ukraine and its 50 million people with an iron hand for 17 years. He was retired in a meeting of Ukrainian Communists, which Gorbachev attended. The new Ukrainian party boss is Vladimir Ivashko, who was Shcherbitsky's second-in-command and who three weeks ago used the pages of the daily newspaper Izvestia to sharply criticize absolute com- manders unresponsive to the public. House votes for tax cut WASHINGTON (AP) - The House yesterday approved President Bush's proposed cut in capital-gains taxes, rejecting arguments by Democratic leaders that it would buy a windfall for the rich at the expense of a bigger budget deficit. A nearly solid bloc of Republicans - only Doug Bereuter of Nebraska defected - was joined by 64 Democrats, chiefly from timber and farm ar- eas, in the 239-190 vote to redeem Bush's campaign promise to tax in- vestment income at a lower rate than wages. The tax reduction, said House Republican Leader Robert Michel of Illinois, "fits well with the economic and tax policies which have guided this nation through 82 record months of growth, creating hundreds of thousands of new, productive, and lasting jobs in our nation." Brezhnev stripped of medal MOSCOW (AP) - The government stripped disgraced former President Leonid Brezhnev of the nation's highest military honor yester- day, saying he did not deserve it. Brezhnev had a fondness for awards and medals and during the later years of his life had himself presented with many of the country's highest honors. One of those was the Order of Victory. Only a few have been awarded it, including the leaders of the Soviet and allied forces in World War II. The decision to take away Brezhnev's Order of Victory from 1978 was made by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the country's highest ex- ecutive body, the Tass news agency said. Since he died in 1982, Brezhnev has been subjected to scathing criti- cism for fostering economic stagnation and an atmosphere of cronyism in the Soviet Communist Party and government. His name has been removed from cities, streets, and factories and a plaque honoring him has been removed from an apartment building in Moscow where he lived as Communist Party leader. Braniff declares bankruptcy MIAMI (AP) - Braniff, Inc. yesterday became the first major airline to seek bankruptcy protection twice, a day after canceling nearly all its flights and laying off more than half its work force. Some airline experts say losses of more than $1 million a week and intense competition from larger carriers may keep Braniff from re-enacting its comeback from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1984 as a smaller company. Braniff left thousands of travelers to seek alternate flights and ticket re- funds Thursday after halting all but four flights linking its Kansas City, Mo., hub with Dallas and Orlando, Fla., its home base. Braniff spokesman Don McGuire in Orlando said the carrier hopes to restore 40 of its 256 normal daily flights by Monday. Meanwhile, plans are underway to cut Braniffs work force from 4,791 to about 2,000. The work force currently includes an estimated 2,000 em- ployees in Kansas City, 1,165 in Orlando, and 450 in Dallas.
