About 10,000 people - includ- ing 120 University students - gath- ered at the Lincoln Memorial to par- ticipate in the Washington March for Democracy in China. The march, organized by the newly-formed International Fed- eration of Chinese Students and Scholars, began at noon with an assembly at the memorial. Student groups were present from Michigan and several other universities from around the country, as well as dozens of groups from Taiwan, Korea, and Hong Kong. During the rally, Asian student leaders memorialized the Chinese students and citizens slayed in Tiananmen Square, and encouraged those present to work toward Chi- nese government reforms. Several members of U.S. Congress were also present, includ- ing Sen. Slade Gordon (R-Wash.), who praised the rally's size and the federation's organizing efforts. Gor- don criticized the. Chinese gov- ernment for its efforts to intimidate Chinese nationals in the U.S. work- ing for reform. In an interview later, Gordon apologized for the apparent lack of action by the Bush administration, but pointed out that much of the diplomatic dialogue is taking place See CLASH, page 8 'U' adds 45 new minority to by Tarane Daily Faculty facul h Shafii y Reporter riL i AF 'l Ann Arbor Committee to Defend Abortion Rights member Rhonda Laur and other abortion rights advocates face off with an Operation Rescuer at an abortion clinic in Southfield.

Abortion activists clash at area clinic The University, working toward its pledge to improve racial and eth- nic diversity on campus, has hired 45 new minority faculty members this fall, but University officials say they won't know their names until the end of October. Of the faculty hired, 21 are Black, 15 are Asian-American, and 9 are Hispanic. Thirty-seven of the new faculty members will be eligible for tenure in the future. Walter Harrison, director of University relations, said 18 of these faculty were hired through the Target of Opportunity Program. The program, a part of the Michigan Mandate, states that if a department can identify an outstand- ing minority faculty prospect, then the University will allocate enough money to the department to hire that person. Last year, 19 of the 32 new minority faculty members were hired through this program. Harrison and Charles Moody, vice provost for minority affairs, said both junior and senior faculty were hired this fall. Mary Ann Swain, associate vice president for academic affairs, said most of the hires were lower-rank professors. Though the new faculty members have already been hired by the University, top University adminis- trators say they do not yet have the names or know the genders of these professors. University officials have sent let- ters to the deans of the different University colleges asking for the number of new hires, but their names will not be known until the ty first payroll at the end of October, Swain said. While 13 more minority faculty were hired this year than in 1988, there is some concern that minority faculty who come to the University do not stay. Last year, for example, the University lost three minority professors. Walter Allen, an associate profes- sor of sociology and Afro-American and African studies, went to UCLA, Ali Mazrui, professor of political science, went to the State University of New York at Binghamton, and Aldon Morris, associate professor of political science, went to Northwestern University, Moody said. "They are not just minority fac- ulty," said LSA senior Delro Harris, chair of the Michigan Student Assembly's Minority Affairs Commission. "They are good fac- ulty," Harris added about the departed faculty. Views as to why these professors left the University differ. "You get better treatment and bet- ter respect at other universities," Harris said. He attributed their loss to a lack of University support, ex- pressed through unfavorable working conditions and uncompetitive salaries. Harrison said, "They got better deals elsewhere... We have to pro- vide them with the kind of support and the facilities that will keep them." Harrison said -in Mazrui's case, University officials thought they made him a competitive offer to stay. by Kathryn DeMott SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Pro-choice and anti-abor- tion activists clashed again Saturday morning at Woman Care, an abortion clinic in Southfield. About 100 pro- choice activists attempted to prevent Operation Rescue from shutting down the clinic for the day. Lathrup Village Police Sgt. Michael McCormick said 48 Operation Rescue members were arrested. Singing hymns and saying prayers, Operation Rescue members, from the Detroit Metro chapter, suc- cessfully blocked one of the clinic's two doors before 9 a.m., the scheduled opening time of the clinic. "We are here to keep the doors closed. This is strictly non-violent," said Mary Larkins, Operation Rescue's spokesperson. However, Carmen Franco, the clinic's administrator, said all of the women who had scheduled appointments kept them on Saturday. "This kind of action does not change people's minds," said Franco. Before a woman comes into the clinic, she has already under gone the trauma of making her decision, and "these fundamentalists are just creating an inconvenience," Franco said. Ann Arbor Committee to Defend Abortion Rights (AACDAR), members met with about 30 pro-choice de- fenders early Saturday morning to organize their plan of action to keep the clinic open. Joining forces with about 20 members of the Detroit Coalition to Defend Abortion Rights, AACDAR cleared a passage to a window through which employees crawled to open the clinic. Pro-choice defenders then locked arms, creating a semi-circle around the Operation Rescue members who were blocking the doorways, to prevent additional anti- abortionists from reaching the door. The friction between the pro-choice and anti-abortion groups quickly degenerated after about 30 police officers from four local departments arrived as the clinic was due to open and began clearing the door. Operation Rescuers went limp, forcing police offi- cers to carry them from the door. Larkin said the group's members had signed a commitment to non-vio- lence and 35 rescuers volunteered to be arrested. First official Soviet exchange students experience 'U' life by Karen Akerlof The effects of glasnost have reached the University this fall; as exchange students from the Soviet Union are studying at the University for the first time this term. - Andrei Shroubek, a computer science specialist at the Moscow Institute of History and Archives, and Hasmik Ghevondyan, a com- uter science major at the Yerevan olytechnical Institute in Armenia, arrived five weeks ago in Ann Arbor, following a short orientation period at Vermont's Middlebury College. The Soviet students are studying in the U.S. through the American Collegiate Consortium, a Middle- bury-based exchange program that also sent two University of Mich- igan exchange students to the USSR. The two Michigan exchange stu- dents - Residential College Sophomore Diahanna Lynch and LSA Junior Andrew Stock - are currently studying at Irkutsk State University and the Moscow Institute of History and Archives. Michigan is the the first major university to join the consortium, said Marysia Ostafin, student ser- participating, and this year the num- ber grew to 120 students. Both Soviet students currently live in East Quad, studying at the RC. "The young people are very similar (to Armenian students)," Ghevondyan said. "They want to study, and have a good time." In fact, some of Shroubek's hallmates - many of whom study Russian - have taken him to cam- pus fraternity partieF "He seems to have a good time," RC Sophomore Aissa Feldmann said. Other times Shroubek helps his hallmates with their Russian home- work. He said such study sessions have improved his English. In between his first two years at the Moscow institute, Shroubek spent two years in the army because of a mandatory service requirement for students, which was recently dropped by the government. He was stationed in Archangel, in the cold far North of the Soviet Union. Ostafin said she thought Shro- ubek's military experience was making it easier for him to adjust to the University, because both experi- ences threw him into diverse situa- tions. Shroubek remembered his first view of some of the more unfamiliar elements of American culture, taking a bus'. from the Ne~w York airnort to DAVID LUBLINER/DAILY Catch the wave Over 101,000 University of Michigan football fans enjoy the game as they partake in the wave.
