The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 20, 1989 - Page 3 Senate folds flag *proposal WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate defeated a proposed constitu- tional amendment yesterday to ban burning and desecration of the Amer- ican flag, dealing a sharp rebuff to President Bush on an issue he had put in the spotlight. "We do not serve our national tradition by forcing Americans to make a false and unnecessary choice between the flag and the Constitu- tion," said Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell (D-Maine). However, Republican leader Bob Dole said, "To say that the act of flag burning is somehow deeply en- shrined in the First Amendment is preposterous." The White House said Bush was "disappoir.ted" at the Senate's action. He had called for the constitutional amendment in June after the Supreme Court threw out the con- viction of Texas flag burner Gregory Lee Johason on grounds that a Texas flag-burning law violated his consti- tutional right of freedom of speech. The proposal won a slight major- ity, 51-48, but that was still 15 votes short a two-thirds majority needed for a constitutional amend- ment. Democrats led the opposition, but the vote was hardly along strict party lines. Thirty-three Republi- cans and 18 Democrats voted for the measure, while 11 Republicans and 37 Democrats opposed it. Critics of the amendment said the danger to the flag was not as great as the bill of rights. "For 200 years, they have pro- tected the liberties of Americans through economic turmoil, civil war, political strife, social upheaval and international tension," Mitchell said. In a final appeal on behalf of the amendment, Dole took the Senate floor to invoke the history of the flag from Iwo Jima to the moon landing. Even though the Senate defeated the amendment yesterday, last week, Congress did give final passage to a bill to ban flag burning by simple statute. Michigan Daily ARTS 763-0379 Senate aborto: WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate sent President Bush yesterday a bill permitting federally financed abortions for poor women who are victims of rape or incest, ignoring the president's pledge to veto the measure. The bill, which has assumed symbolic importance in the larger political war over the abortion issue, would ease an eight-year-old restric- tion on circumstances in which Med- icaid will pay for a poor woman's abortion. The Senate's 67-31 vote provided final congressional passage of a spending bill including the key pro- vision on abortion, which the House approved in a surprise vote last week. The Senate previously had ap- proved broadening federal funding for abortions, and its last vote was needed to send the bill to the White House. The measure would allow federal money to be spent on abortions for poor women who are victims of rape or incest and who "reported promptly" to law enforcement or public health authorities. Although the measure has be- QUAKE Continued from Page 1 after Tuesday's earthquake, which claimed an estimated 270 lives and $2 billion in damage. Most of San Francisco's other landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Mission Dolores, and the colorful Victorian- style homes, were unruffled and as picturesque as ever. Not all the landmarks got through the earthquake untouched, of course. The San Francisco-Oakland Gate bridge was crippled. About $4,000 worth of glass was broken at the Conservatory of Flowers, a huge greenhouse in Golden Gate Park. At the bayside end of Market Street, the flag atop the Ferry Building was tilted and the tower clock was still stuck on Tuesday's late-afternoon earthquake time, 5:04 p.m. Oakland Mayor Lionel Wilson said Thursday that only 85 people were officially reported missing. passes n bill come the object of intense effort by both sides of the abortions issue, there was little Senate discussion of abortion as it came to the floor. Sen. Brock Adams (D-Wash.) said Bush's promise of a veto was "unconscionable" and would "cause enormous additional suffering" for poor victims of rape or incest. "The president has told us he will veto this bill because he won't ac- cept language that allows poor rape and incest victims access to abor- tions," he said. "I'm sorry the presi- dent of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, has cho- sen to veto this bill... and thereby cause enormous additional suffering for some of the world's-most unfor- tunate and powerless victims. Medicaid restrictions in the law since 1981 permit federal money for> abortions only in cases where the life of the mother is endangered by her pregnancy. Medicaid financing for poor women's abortions has been restricted in one way or another since 1977. The abortion provision is part of a $156.7 billion measure to finance labor, health and education programs for fiscal 1990, which began Oct. 1. - Alcohol education University students watch an Oprah Winfrey show examining teenage alcoholism, part of Alcohol Awareness Week sponsored by the Michigan Student Assembly, the Panhellenic Association, and University Health Services. Pres. okays 10 students for speech policy comm--ittee by Josh Mitnick Daily MSA Reporter President James Duderstadt agreed yesterday to appoint 10 students to serve on a committee to solicit stu- dent input on and review the Univer- sity's interim anti-discriminatory ha- rassment policy. Originally, Duderstadt proposed that three to five students be ap- pointed to the committee - whose input he plans to consider when drafting a permanent policy - but the Michigan Student Assembly submitted 10 names because assem- bly representatives felt more students were needed to adequately reflect campus viewpoints. Assembly leaders said the presi- dent's acceptance of the appoint- ments came as a surprise. But Assistant to the President Shirley Clarkston said Duderstadt never intended to limit the number of students on the committee. "He wants as broad an input as he can get," she said. LSA rep. Ori Lev,called the ap- pointments a step in the right direc- tion on the part of the administra- tion. "It showed they have responded to some of the concerns that have been raised in a positive way," said Lev, vice chair of MSA's Campus Governance Committee. MSA President Aaron Williams said the appointments clarified the purpose of the committee, which was previously ambiguous. Williams said he thought this showed that Duderstadt was firmly committed to getting student input. While acknowledging the presi- dent's action, assembly members re- peated a request that University offi- cials attend a forum where they would discuss the anti-harassment policy with students. MSA rep. Nick Mavrick, chair of the Students' Rights Committee, said he will continue to channel his efforts into convening this forum. Despite his appointment to the committee, he remained firm in his conviction that students were still not being given a strong enough voice on the policy. "This is not what we want and this will not satisfy students on campus," Mavrick said. He added that students should have the final say on the policy and if they don't, he would refuse to participate on the committee. "We will not be advisors," he said.
