But the state militia can stay home, as the commotion can be attributed to this weekend's Michigan-Michigan State footballk game (Sat., 3:35, ABC-TV). "This is the biggest game going right now," Wolverine coach Bo Schembechler said. "It just means whoever wins is definitely in the race and whoever doesn't is out of it." As Schembechler indicated, more than just bragging rights are up for Erick Anderson leads the MichiganC grabs tomorrow, when the past two Big Ten champions collide before a coming out on top in eight of its last national television audience and a nine visits to the state capitol, and sold-out Spartan Stadium. eight of the teams' last ten meetings.

JULIE HOLLMAN/Dav ends on the series, which began in 1898 with a 39-0 victory and continues through last year's 17-3 Michigan victory which catapulted the fifth-ranked Wolverines (3-1, 1-0)' into the conference driver's seat. "When you have two state See MICHIGAN ,page 10 by Noelle Vance Daily Government Reporter There are 463 more minority stu- dents - an increase of 9.6 percent over last year - studying at the University this year, according to figures released yesterday by the University. The total number of minority students, 5454, marks a record high for minority enrollment at the University. Minorities now account for 16.6 percent of the University community, up from 15.4 percent last year. However, decreases in the num- ber of first-year Black, Hispanic and Native American students have some student leaders concerned that the figures are not as promising as they appear. "The number of Native American students are embarrassing to me," said Delro Harris, chair of the Michigan Student Assembly's Minority Affairs Commission. Top University officials said that despite the drops in first-year-minor- ity enrollment, the overall increase demonstrates the University's com- mitment to diversifying its enroll- ment. The increase, then, can be at- tributed to a larger number of trans- fer students at the University, offi- cials said. Native-American total enrollment increased from 132 students to 138 students. The Rackham School of Graduate studies lost one Native American student bringing their total down from 15 to 14 students. "There are a lot more Native Americans in Michigan who are eli- gible to come here and do well here," he said, "six (more Native Americans) does not speak too well of the University." "The numbers are not anywhere near the 10 percent of total enroll- ment that the University promised in the seventies," said MSA President Aaron Williams, an engineering ju- nior. "We lost 38 Black students in the freshman class." Black student enrollment rose to 2140 students, or 6.5 percent of the total campus enrollment. Total en- rollment includes only U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents, and not foreign students. First-year-Black enrollment fell from 290 students last year to 252. The figure is the University's third highest enrollment of Black students in the last 10 years. The total Hispanic enrollment at the University increased from 824 to 927 students. However, like other minority groups, the first-year- Hispanic enrollment fell from 171 to 163 students. Harris said the drops may reflect See MINORITY, page 2 TT_ ----- *House passes WASHINGTON (AP) - The House voted fi- pass a met nal and overwhelming approval yesterday for a a constitu federal ban on flag burning.

Groups to nominate speech policy board by Kristine LaLonde Daily Administration Reporter University President James Duderstadt has charged three campus groups with the responsibility to nomi- nate students, staff and faculty members to advisory committees on the anti-discriminatory harassment pol- icy. The groups - the faculty Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, the Academic Services Board (made up of administration officials) and the Michigan Student Assembly - face an October 18 deadline for the nominations. In the memorandum sent by Duderstadt to the groups, the President said he will review and solicit re- action on the interim harassment policy which is cur- rently in place. The information will be used as back- ground for preparing a permanent policy. Duderstadt said in his memo that he hopes to have a permanent policy in place by January 1, 1990. The original harassment policy was struck down as unconstitutional in federal court on Aug. 25. Duderstadt implemented the interim policy at the University Board of Regents' September meeting. University Council Student Rep. Corey Dolgan said '0Duderstadt should use the U-Council to review the pol- icy. "The place for this to be done is through U- Council... If U-Council wanted to set up committees that's a different issue but for the President to set up these committees is ridiculous," said Dolgan. "It's another example of the administration by-pass- ing the established process." University Board of Regents by-law 7.02 provides for the council, which was established to formulate and propose student conduct rules. The council is made up of student. facultv. and administration renresentatives. Abortion lobbyists fight parental consent bill By Jennifer Miller Daily Staff Writer LANSING - Lobbyists from the Ann Arbor chapter of Planned Parenthood and University College Democrats had no trouble convincing representatives Lana Pollack (D- Ann Arbor) and Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) to vote against the pending parental consent bill. Many other state legislators, however, ap- pear to still be supporting the proposal. The bill, introduced by State Senator Jack Welborn (R-Kalamazoo), would require minors to get their parents' permission for abortions, unless they had a court-approved appeal. "O.K., you twisted my arm," joked Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) in his Lansing office as the groups commemorated Reproductive Awareness Week by holding a lobby day at the state capitol. The ten Ann Arbor lobbyists between the ages of 16 and 60 were among 90 pro-choice representatives from around the state who met with their state representatives to discuss the bill. But it won't be easy to convince Michigan voters. A survey done by Right to Life through a private consulting firm, Tarrance and Associates, said 75 percent of the state supports the parental consent bill. The lobbyists also met with representative Kirk Profit (D-Ypsilanti) to express their concerns about the bill. Profit said he would vote the way his constituents wanted, which for now is for parental notification. "If he is going to split to the right on this you need organization to bring him back to the middle," said Bullard. Bullard told the lobby- ists they should start a letter writing campaign to show Profit that his constituents are in fact against the bill. "It is the toughest anti-choice bill to oppose because it sounds so reasonable, but when you get to the heart of it, there are many discriminatory problems with the bill," said LSA senior Roger Kosson, president of the Colleges Democrats. Opponents feel the judicial appeal clause - for exceptions such as pregnancies resulting form rape or incest - will become a class issue between the upper-middle class and the poor because some women won't know how to file for an appeal. "We feel the bill is contradictory because if the state says you are not mature enough to have an abortion without asking your parents, then how are you mature enough to raise a child," said LSA Junior Deborah Goldman, head of the abortion issue for the College Democrats.
