Over the centuries, cosmetics be- came more used by women," said Michal Davagi-Mendes, curator of Biblical archaeology and organizer of the exhibit. In the hot, dry climate of the Middle East, cosmetics also served a medicinal purpose. PROPOSALS Continued from Page 1 one half percent sales tax increase as being a problem. "I'm voting for Proposal A," said Walker, "the 1/2 cent increase you won't notice, but the 2 cent increase (of Proposal B) you would notice." Proposal A would allocate 68 percent and Proposal B would allocate 75 percent of sales tax revenues to education. Michigan now appropriates 51 percent of its sales tax revenues to education. Proposal B would reduce school ptoperty taxes and different tax rates between businesses and residents. As the law stands now, all property is taxed at the same rate, but Proposal B would levy a slightly higher tax rate on businesses as compared to residential property. This higher rate is supposed to equalize the amount of taxes paid by businesses and consumers, said Marilyn Shapiro of the House Taxation Committee Staff. Con- sumers will pay more sales tax, and businesses will pay more property tax, she said. Proposal A has no provisions for property tax changes. Polling sites in Ann Arbor will be open around campus from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. CEREMONY Continued from Page 1 school John D'Arms, chair of the committee that is organizing the commencement weekend, said the Hill Auditorium ceremony will take place Saturday, May 5, at 9 a.m. He said the separate school commence- ment ceremonies will take place Fri- day evening, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday that weekend. As usual, schools such as medicine and law will hold cere- monies at a later date. D'Arms said each school's com- mencement ceremony will take place at venues based on that school's size. For example, LSA and engi- neering ceremonies will take place at Crisler Arena. Other locations in- cludethe Power Center, Rackham Auditorium, and Mendelssohn the- ater in the League. D'Arms promised that there will be "quite a lot of variety among" the ceremonies. A complete schedule of com- mencement weekend events will be available tomorrow, he said. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Supreme Court removes hurdle 1, in Dalkon Shield settlement WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on yesterday removed the last legal obstacle to carrying out a $2.5 billion settlement for victims of the Dalkon Shield birth-control device. But compensatory payments may not begin unitl next spring, and no one could say definitely how many of the nearly 100,000 women with active claims will receive substantial payments. The justices, over one dissenting vote, rejected a challenge by some 650 women to the settlement reached out of court with A.H. Robins 0 Co., manufacutrer of the intrauterine device. Marketed in the early 1970's, the Dalkon Shield allegedly caused infertility, spontaneous abortions, pelvic inflammation or, in some cases, death. Sharon Lutz, a Detroit lawyer representing 18,000 of the women who had sued Robins and who had urged the court to uphold the settlement, said payments might start by late February or early March. U.S.-Canada focus on free trade agreement in meetings DETROIT - The U.S.-Canadian free trade agreement can help businesses in both countries compete better in world markets, the Canadian ambassador to the United States said yesterday. In the auto industry and other areas, Ambassador Derek Burney told an Economic Club of Detroit at the news conference, "The whole point of the agreement is to improve the economic base of the North American economy." How to do that was one subject in meetings Burney had yesterday with Robert Lutz, president of Chrysler Corp.'s carmaking operations, and representatives of the auto-parts industry, he said. He said they discussed goals for a special panel debating automotive issues under the free trade agreement, though he would not elaborate on the meetings. Problems plague drug plane WASHINGTON - The first plane in a Customs Service radar fleet has been plagued by problems that seriously compromise its ability to find and track drug-smuggling aircraft, according to agency documents. One Coast Guard officer who went along on an early mission summed up: "A lot of 'Gee Whiz' gadgets and color displays - but a lot of the basic requirements for useful detection and tracking are absent." Deficiencies have included an unreliable computer system that has trouble locating and tracking smugglers, faulty on-board communications for the crew and a problem with a spinning, metal radar dome, according to the documents, most of which were written by crew members. Some initial reports critical of the performance of the first $27 million P-3 airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft were ordered rewritten by an agency supervisor to stress success and not failures, according to the documents and Customs sources. Some say quake linked to tides LOS ANGELES - Some researchers say changes in atmospheric pressure and the tidal pull of the sun and moon may have triggered California's disastrous earthquake. Many scientists call the theory plausible but still unproven. A few studies have suggested quakes happen more often during very high ocean tides - when solar and lunar gravity also tug at solid ground - and when shifting masses of heavier air create certain high-. pressure system and related winds that press down on and rub against the ground. "I would say it is at least 90 percent likely there was some (tidal) influence on the timing of this quake." said astronomer Steve Kilston of the Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory. Three days before the Oct. 17 quake, the moon was full and was closer to Earth than it had been in three years, Kilston said. The quake happened an hour before sunset. Two days later, the moon was at its northernmost point in its monthly cycle.

MSA Continued from Page 1 panel at tomorrow's forum. "The issues are very complex and very critical to the quality of our life here," she said. "This is a learning process for everyone." University General Counsel Elsa Cole, another scheduled panel partic- ipant, said student input was "absolutely vital" to the drafting process. She explained that the fo- rum will help administrators figure out what the policy will focus on and how it will best meet students needs. Cole added that the forum will help administrators write a factual history which would support the policy if ever challenged in court. The history would act as proof that the policy addresses a legitimate problem on campus. * U Concerned About Thinning Nair, HairLoss??-- " Attend A FREE Lecture Concerning Hair Loss And Treatment Alternatives " Presenter- A.
