erliners rally to *mourn deaths BERLIN (AP) - At least 20,000 East Berliners observed a 'minute of silence Sunday for those killed while attempting to flee over the Berlin Wall, the first such public ,mourning since Communist 'authorities built the wall in 1961. I) The observance came as the East Berliners gathered in a downtown square for a rally called by Mayor Erhard Krack to discuss reform. Similar meetings were organized in !,(he southern cities of Leipzig and Karl-Marx-Stadt as part of a -government effort to stop activists ffrom staging protests to voice their ,demands. In East Berlin, microphones were provided for speakers from the crowd, one of whom called for a pinute of silence. "We have to remember those who lost their lives in the minefields and along the barbed wire and in the waters of the Spree River just because once in their lives they wanted to see another part of the world," said an unidentified man. West German human rights groups say 191 people were killed trying to flee East Germany from 1961 to 1988. The East Berlin dialogue session outside the old city hall was * 'sponsored by the city's Communist leadership. It quickly became an emotional forum in which Communist leaders were called to account for a host of misdeeds and blunders. : The leaders were called to task on privileges accorded to Communist officials and were asked to respond to demands for election reforms and allegations of police brutality 'against peaceful pro-democracy 4protesters earlier this month. Communist officials in recent -days have appealed to protesters to attend government-organized rdialogue sessions rather than taking to the streets to demand change. The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 30, 1989 - Page 3 LASC walk raises money for El Salvador by Terri Jackson The Latin America Solidarity Committee (LASC) and its support- ers took steps yesterday to aid El Salvador's movement for democracy and to push for an end of the United States' funding that nation's current government. The committee held a 10-kilome- ter walk-a-thon to raise money for community projects in El Salvador, which the group says the govern- ment is not providing. The walk-a-thon was the first LASC has sponsored, but 47 similar events across the United States in the past month have raised $130,000 for the war-torn country, said com- mittee member Rob Hickey, a Resi- dential College senior. "We want people to understand that the U.S. is directly responsible for the war in El Salvador," said Martha Panschar, a steering commit- tee member of LASC. "The United States sends over $1.5 million a day to El Salvador." Pam Nadasen, a recent University graduate who spent six weeks in El Salvador over the summer as a Michigan Student Assembly dele- gate, was the keynote speaker at a rally prior to the walk-a-thon. "The right-wing fascists in MSA, Wash- ington D.C., and in El Salvador are reaping benefits from the widespread ignorance of citizens in the U.S.," she said. "We are no longer going to sit back apathetically," Nadasen added. "We have to demand accountability from the American government to the American people." LSA sophomore Liza Herzog, who participated in the rally, said she learned about the situation in El Salvador in her "Biology and Human Affairs" class. "It doesn't help know- ing about things unless you act upon them," she said. Christa Cywinski, an LSA junior who joined the walk-a-thon, said she was participating in the walk be- cause she was conscious of the is- sues, and it seemed like an easy way to "do the right thing." "Besides, it's a good day to walk," she said. Demonstrator Gina Schreiber, a student at Forsythe Junior High School, was adopted from El Sal- vador at birth. She said she only knows about her native country from what she sees on television and said she would like to see the fighting end. "I've raised $169," she said. About 50 people who had col- lected pledge money and several other walkers gathered on the Diag for the rally. They then marched to the office of U.S. Rep. Carl Pursell (R-Michigan), who has voted for aid to the El Salvador government sev- eral times. The group also walked past the offices of the Ann Arbor News, which LASC members said has had poor coverage of El Salvador. The walk-a-thon concluded on the steps of the Michigan Union. LSA junior Eric Reicen talks with Alpha Epsilon Pi member Dan Bonowitz Awareness Day at the AEPi fraternity house yesterday. during workshops for Greek Sexual Greeks attend awareness day by Joanna Broder "It is realistic to expect your sex- ual partner to tell you about a sexu- ally transmitted disease." After listening to this statement, about 40 members of fraternities and sororities made their way towards "strongly agree" and "strongly dis- agree" posters at either end of a room at Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity yes- terday. After shuffling and laughing a lit- tle, participants became serious. Then, from all corners of the room, they voiced their opinions, and a true interchange of ideas emerged. This was the scene at the Safer Sex Seminar, one of the five work- shops offered during the First An- nual Greek Sexual Awareness Day. The event, which came during the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center's Sexual Assault Awareness Week, was sponsored by AEPi, the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the Panhellenic Association, and SAPAC. LSA junior Eric Reicen, chair of Greek Sexual Awareness Day and IFC treasurer, said because Greeks make up more than 15 percent of the University population, they should have some specific involvement in Sexual Assault Awareness Week. Mike Head, a junior in Alpha Sigma Phi, said the University's Greek system has always had a bad reputation. He said the day's work- shops would set a good example for the rest of the University and make the positive elements of the Greek system evident. About 200 members of the Greek system attended the event, including representatives from 19 sororities and 16 fraternities. The day consisted of five workshops relating to sexual issues and a keynote speech by SAPAC Director Julie Steiner. "Getting people to talk about these issues is the most important thing we can do," Steiner said. "It's a first step. People will talk to their friends and they'll be the snowball effect. That's what counts." Andrea Adler, a senior at Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, agreed. "We're participating in this so we can bring all this information back to our house and have our own work- shops," she said. The groups sponsored the day to openly discuss and promote aware- ness of sexual assault. Participants learned about sexism in advertising and sexually transmitted diseases. In a seminar on sexism in adver- tising, students and SAPAC facilita- tors systematically listed and at- tacked common stereotypes of men and women. Peer educators conveyed the idea that the gender gap was clos- ing and said men and women possess both feminine and masculine traits.
