" 4 Ninety-nine years of editorial freedom Vol. C, No. 42 Ann Arbor, Michigan -Thursday, November 2, 1989 Iran ok's arrest of an U.s. citizens NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Yes- tdrday Iran's Council of Guardians, the country's constitutional watch- dog, approved a law giving it the power to arrest Americans anywhere and put them on trial. The action came amid growing anti-U.S. passion being whipped up to mark the 10th anniversary of the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Protesters plan to burn 160 flags outside the compound on Saturday. The law will remain on the books "as long as the U.S. president is authorized to commit inhuman practices against the lives and inter- ests of Iranian citizens," the agency reported in a dispatch monitored in Cyprus. The Iranian move was in re- sponse to the Justice Department's authorization of the FBI to arrest suspected terrorists abroad and bring them to trial in the United States without the permission of the coun- * tries where they were located. Some Iranian people clearly saw the Justice Department's action as aimed at the Islamic republic. See IRAN, page 5 Michigamua, MAC reach compromise by Josh Mitnick i Daily MSA Reporter Michigamua, a campus all-male honor society, has agreed to elimi- nate all references to Native Ameri- can culture from their initiation ritu- als. Representatives from the Michi- gan Student Assembly's Minority Affairs Commission (MAC) and Michigamua reached the accord early yesterday morning, beating today's final deadline which was extended by MAC last week. MAC was planning to take the case before the Michigan Civil Rights Board if an agreement was not reached. Michigan hockey goalie Warren Sharples, the Michigamua president, said the group would sever all ties to Native American culture and would restructure its rituals based solely on University-based traditions. He said abandoning the old prac- tices wouldn't seriously affect the group: "The rituals weren't what made Michigamua the honor that it is. The primary function of Michigamua is to serve the Univer- sity." MAC chair Delro Harris said he was extremely pleased with the agreement, adding that the accord ful- filled the goals that his group had been actively pursuing. "Wherever there's a conflict, (MAC's) goal is to create something positive out of the situation," Harris said. Michigamua and MAC have been involved in periodic negotiations since the spring of 1988 when Na- tive American student groups restated charges that Michigamua's rituals were a mockery of their cul- ture. A Civil Rights ruling in 1973, stemming from student complaints, ordered Michigamua to "eliminate all public rites on campus" because it was practiced "unlawful discrimina- tion" against Native Americans. Last April, MAC was ready to file a complaint with the Michigan Civil Rights Commission against Michigamua, alleging the group had again violated the '73 ruling. The commission decided, however, to pursue the dispute under the Univer- See MAC, page 5 Leaves of grass SAMANTHA SANDERS/Daily Who needs a pillow or matress when the ground is covered with thousands of leaves?

Scott said the grant has provided a way r MEPO to expand its program initiatives, ich as scholarship dollars, study groups, formation on summer jobs, and free unseling. "I've been able to do a far more gnificant monitoring (of the progress of inority engineering students)," Scott said referring to an increase in coordination of resources beyond the College of Engineering. The grant also enables MEPO to obtain a counselor who will serve a dual role. Not only will the money permit counseling of MEPO students but also of students in the Comprehensive Studies Program, a minority support group composed of students who may transfer into the College of Engineering. Since receiving the grant, MEPO has doubled the amount of students participating in its Professionals In Training Program (PTP), a pre-enrollment orientation designed to give minority engineering students a first- hand look at being an engineering student. Stressing the importance of 'such programs, Scott pointed out that "students who participate in PTP have a 10 to 15 percent higher rate of retention than those who don't." Although fall enrollment of minority students in the College of Engineering is up to 319 from last fall's 265, Scott pointed out that the increase is not soley an increase in first-year students, but rather "the college's retention of minority students."

It's the Campus Camera Game Show, a new way for students to win fast money. The University Activities Center (UAC) will be hosting the show at 7 p.m. in the Michigan Union Ballroom. As its logo states, everyone who attends has a chance to play, and everyone has a chance to win. Admission is free, and the first 100 potential contestants to arrive will win door prizes. Cash will be awarded to winning contes- tants, randomly selected by host Howard Stevens (star ofWho's the Boss and Star Trek) to take part in four rounds of play. Finalists from each round will compete in the end with the chance to win grand prizes. Caroline Greenberg, UAC's committee chair for special events, explained that stu- dents were videotaped this past Monday and asked questions regarding campus hot-spots and the best and worst of Ann Arbor. "Tonight's contestants will have to match answers to these questions with those peo- ple who have been videotaped," she said. General Foods International Coffees is sponsoring the show as a campaign strat- egy for marketing their new Double Dutch flavored coffee.
