4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 31, 1989 Moscow Continued from Page 1 Square after dusk to mark the unoffi- cial "Day of the Political Prisoner" and mourn the millions who were wrongly imprisoned or killed under Josef Stalin. The hour-long protest, in which two rows of people holding flicker- ing candles lined up on three sides of the building, proceeded peacefully. It had been organized by the Memorial Society, which seeks to commemo- rate those who suffered unjustly un- der Stalin, and the Democratic Union, a self-styled opposition to the Communist Party. At the end of the demonstration, a splinter group of about 500 peo- ple, mostly young men, marched off in the direction of Pushkin Square, a favorite rallying site for human rights activists. The group was confronted with- out warning by riot police two blocks from Pushkin Square. The white-helmeted police, armed with long black rubber truncheons, formed a line, then waded into the protesters, clubbing at least four of their leaders to the ground, then dragging them into nearby buses for detention.

Cynthia Shevel, store owner for 23 years, agreed that the most popular cos- tumes this year were Batman and the Joker. She also said political masks of Khomeini, Bush, Kadaffi, and Nixon have been popular. "Halloween's such a fun time. I think it's sort of disappointing that I haven't seen more college kids parad- ing around the streets in costume. I love costumes. Personally, I always have an arrow through my head," said Shevel. "I always prefer to see home- made costumes. They're more cre- ative because you have to put thought into it," Shevel said. Some people shy away from the typical costume trends, like Kyle Bettigole, LSA senior. "Last Friday night I dressed as the Tooth Fairy for a Halloween party. I wore pink tights, a tutu, and den- tures on a string around my neck. Most people got the idea. It was my last chance to regress before I enter the real, evil world," he said, laugh- ing. Other students plan to regress to old Halloween activities. "Believe it or not, I'm going trick or treating around Ann Arbor with my friends. It should be pretty funny," said an LSA sophomore who was too embarrassed to be named. "For Halloween I'm celebrating my 21st birthday," said Mark Jacob- son, LSA senior. University residence halls plan to celebrate Halloween in their own way. South Quad is hosting a cos- tume contest tonight during dinner. Other residence halls, such as Mary Markley, are hosting trick-or-treating in residents' rooms for area under- privileged children. Bursley is host- ing a pumpkin carving contest. "I don't have to dress up, I al- ready look like a Halloween cos- tume," said an Engineering senior, who, for obvious reasons, wished to remain anonymous. JACOBY Continued from Page 1 "For the past 17 years, Robin Ja- coby has made significant contribu- tions to The University, first as a faculty member, and later as an ad- ministrator," Duderstadt said. "She has been a key member of my man- agement team." "This is a wonderful opportunity for Robin... With Linda Wilson, she will provide Radcliffe with a dy- namic leadership team," he said. Jacoby was selected from among 65 candidates following a nation- wide search. Prior to serving as se- nior assistant to the President, she The University of Michigan SCHOOL OF MUSIC FACTS Continued from Page 1 UMPNC is "always available" for further discussions. The council's main concern throughout the sessions has been the hospital's policy of mandatory over- time. Under mandatory overtime, the hospital can force nurses to work ex- tra shifts if no one volunteers for those shifts. Although this policy has been in place for some time, it had become a bigger problem re- cently because of an unrelated nurse shortage. NURSES Continued from Page 1 ing profession itself. Barkausas said baccalaureate nurses are needed "not because of elitism," but because the increasing complexity of patient care requires a high degree of education only offered through a baccalaureate degree program. A report issued by the U.S. De- partment of Health and Human Ser- vices statedthat by 1990 there will be an excess of 368,000 associate degree holders, and a shortage of 390,000 nurses at the baccalaureate level. As a consequence of the decline in students choosing nursing and the disputes over the levels of nursing education, hospitals have been find- ing themselves with fewer nurses. Other staff members are asked to work overtime to cover the shifts, adding to the stress level in an al- ready stressful environment. James Velghe, President of the Management Science Association, a Kansas City labor relations consult- ing firm, said in the March 27, 1987 issue of Modern Health Care "increasing workload can cause re- sentment and dissatisfaction among employees, which can lead to union activity." The issue of overtime shifts has been a focal point of the recent con- tract disputes at the University of Michigan Hospital. The hospital wants to insure safe patient care and enforces the practice of mandatory overtime so shifts will be covered. Stoll said the nurses want a "restructuring" of the current scheduling policies so on-the-job stress "won't burn out the nurses who are practicing." Stoll also quoted a Health and Human Services report, published in late 1988 which called on hospital administrations to "give nurses more control of scheduling". "We want to be treated like the professionals we are," she said.

The justices said they will decide what authority the Pension Benefit' Guaranty Corporation, a federal agency, has to order employers to retrieve scrapped pension plans. A federal appeals court limited such authority by setting aside the agency's order that LTV Corp. and its subsidiary, LTV Steel CO., restore three pension plans with unfunded liabilities of $2.3 billion. Government lawyers say the ruling, if not overturned, could make the agency "an open-ended source if industry bailouts" and spark a financial crisis similar to the one facing the government's insurance program for the savings and loan industry. The justices' decision is expected by July. The pensions case focuses on the power of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which protects the pension benefits of 30 million Americans. S. African gov't says peaceful demonstration eases tension JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Government-run broadcasting said yesterday that peaceful demonstrations such as the huge anti-apartheid rally over the weekend have helped ease political tensions and assisted reforms. "We thank the people for behaving within the norms of democratic society," Maj. Gen. Herman Stadler, the police public relations chief, said of the 70,000-member rally Sunday. It was the largest anti-government event ever, and virtually every aspect violated security laws. But authorities approved the event in advance and police maintained a low profile as African National Congress leaders, released from prison Oct. 15, endorsed the organization's guerrilla campaign and called for increased economic sanctions against the white-run government. Most favor U.S.-Iran deal NEW YORK - Most Americans favor rapprochement with Iran in exchange for the release of the U.S. hostages in Lebanon, even though they see the Islamic republic as a sponsor of world terrorism, a national poll has found. Ten years after the Iran hostage crisis poisoned U.S.-Iran relations, 61 percent in the Media General-Associated Press poll said Washington should offer to resume normal ties if Iran got the Americans in Lebanon freed. Support was somewhat lower for releasing Iranian assets locked in U.S. banks in trade for the hostages' freedom, with 50 percent in favor. And respondents overwhelmingly rejected paying ransom directly to the captors, with 85 percent opposed. Eighteen Westerners, including eight Americans, are held in Lebanon, most by groups believed loyal to Iran. Iran has offered to help free the captives if its assets held in U.S. banks were released. Ortega may cancel cease-fire WASHINGTON - Presidential press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said President Daniel Ortega was a target of mounting pressure from his Latin American neighbors not to follow through on his threat to end the cease- fire between his Marxist Sandinista forces and the Contra rebels. "The issue pretty much goes back to President Ortega and the Sandinistas in the sense of he's changed his position a little bit," Fitzwater said. "We, obviously, are urging that the cease-fire be maintained." After startling a hemispheric conference on democracy in Costa Rica by announcing Friday that he would cancel the cease-fire, Ortega modified his position to say he would decide the matter today. A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on the condition of anonymity, said that a decision by Ortega to abrogate the cease-fire would be merely "a pretext to end the election process." House Speaker Thomas Foley, (D-Wash.) called Ortega's threat "regrettable."
