Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, November 14, 1989 EL SALVADOR Continued from Page 1 U.S. Embassy sources said about 1,500 rebels were fighting in the city. Heavy combat alsoswas reported in Santa Ana, a western province, in San Miguel to the east, around the central city of Zacatecoluca and outside Usulutan, a major city in eastern El Salvador. The army press office stopped providing casualty counts or other information and telephone calls to provincial cities did not go through. Officials at the armed forces mortuary said it had the bodies of 67 soldiers and military sources said 127 guerillas had been killed. Morgues reported the bodies of 51 civilians. Hospitals said 258 civilians had been wounded. On Sunday, the armed forces reported 65 soldiers and 55 guerillas wounded. The U.S. Embassy said 86 soldiers, 202 guerillas and 17 civilians had been killed, a total of 305. Its count of 373 wounded included 189 soldiers, 96 rebels and 88 civilians, the embassy said, and 43 guerillas were captured. Rosales Hospital, a government institution, was without water, blood plasma, anaesthetics and other supplies, said Dr. Fausto Cea, the director. Stretchers lined hallways outside emergency rooms. Young people look at the bodies yesterday of rebels killed during fighting with government troops outside San Salvador. Fighting began Saturday, and the sound of mortars and gunfire still echoed through San Salvador's deserted streets yesterday. The fighting was the worst the capital has experienced in a decade of civil war. At least 305 have been killed since the rebels attacked Saturday night in their biggest offensive since 1981. NASA needs women, official says by Eric Phillips JoAnn Morgan, a senior adminis- trator with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), spoke about new developments for women in aerospace and current trends in space exploration yesterday at Angell Hall. The speech, sponsored by the University's Center for Continuing Education for Women, emphasized the aerospace industry's currently exhaustive search for new talent. Morgan said the need for more women and minorities in the work force is especially important. Thus hiring goals for the future predict a marked increase in the percentage of Hispanics, Blacks, and minorities working for the space agency by the year 2000, Morgan said. While NASA seeks a diverse range of employees, the agency al- ready relies on an extremely varied base in the private sector to achieve its objectives. "Space research and development is spread a lot broader than people think," Morgan said. "It involves a lot of people, and not just scientists and engineers." She said companies like Ken- tucky Fried Chicken, which spon- sored experimentation of chicken embryos on one shuttle flight, con- tribute to space exploration in unex- pected ways. Morgan, who currently is the Di- rector for Payload Projects Manage- ment at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, said NASA is continually striving to cut costs with its tight budget, and employees must fight hard to keep their projects funded. "You have to have the personality of a pit bulldog and the eyes of an alli- gator to be in this business," she said. Morgan praised the U.S. gov- ernment's devotion to NASA. "President Bush makes it a personal point to be aware of what's going on. The administration is quietly and very importantly backing us," she said. Future exploration into black holes, space debris, and supernovas, or exploding stars, should convince the public to support the space agency despite the space shuttle Challenger explosion in 1986. IN BIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Court permits drug testing WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court yesterday permitted random drug testing for Boston police, offering new evidence that the justices condone widespread testing of government employees in jobs affecting public safety. The court, without comment, let stand a ruling that forcing police of- ficers to undergo the random tests - even when there is no reason to sus- pect drug abuse - does not violate their privacy rights. The court's action came within minutes of President Bush's naming 27 citizens, including medical pioneer Dr. Jonas Salk, as advisers in the war on drugs. With drug policy director William Bennett at his side, Bush urged the advisory panel to encourage private employers to keep workplaces drug- free and to coordinate anti-drug efforts. The court has never ruled definitively in a case involving random drug- testing of government employees and its approval of such tactics is not a certainty. Walesa gets freedom medal WASHINGTON - President Bush bestowed the presidential Medal of Freedom on Lech Walesa yesterday. The Polish trade union leader was re- ceived in an emotional White House ceremony by Bush who promised "American aid has begun and more is coming" to Poland. Walesa arrived in Washington as the Senate reached a bipartisan com- promise on a plan to give $657 million in aid to Poland and $65 million to Hungary, ending a long battle over the proper scale of aid to those countries. On Wednesday, Walesa was scheduled to address a joint meeting of Congress, the first foreigner without a government job to do so since the American Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette, a Frenchman, spoke there in 1824. His visit is sponsored by the AFL-CIO, which has backed Walesa's Solidaity union since it was founded in 1980 as the first independent trade union in the Soviet bloc. Mother charged with using cocaine during pregnancy MUSKEGON, Mich. - A woman accused of smoking crack cocaine less than 24 hours before giving birth was charged yesterday with deliver- ing the drug to her child. Kimberly Hardy was charged in Muskegon District Court with second degree child abuse and delivery of cocaine. No plea was entered and she was released on a personal recognizance bond. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Dec. 13. Attorneys say it's the first Michigan case in which a mother has been charged with delivering cocaine through her body to her child. Prosecutors say laboratory tests done at the hospital where Hardy's son was born Aug. 20 showed cocaine in the baby's and mother's systems. The baby and Hardy's 4-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter were placed in a foster home. Boeing pleads guilty to felony ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - The Boeing Co. pleaded guilty yesterday to two felony charges of illegally obtaining secret Pentagon budget docu- ments and agreed to pay more than $5.2 million in fines and restitution. Before accepting the plea worked out between the Justice Department and Boeing, U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis grilled company lawyers about whether "the penalty is appropriate to what I consider to be a serious vio- lation of the law." The company pleaded guilty to felony counts of unauthorized con- veyance of govermnent documents. The charge carries a maximum fine of $10,000. Richard Lee Fowler, a former Boeing senior marketing analyst, is awaiting trial next month on 39 counts of conspiracy and unauthorized conveyance. EXTRAS Whatever its name, the town remains the same BAD AXE, Mich. (AP) - Lewisville, Louisville or Louieville? That is the question? There is a small town, well, not a town. A small burg. No, its not re- ally a burg either. Let's just call it a corner. An intersection. Asmall parcel of land at the corner of Kinde and Huron City roads in norhteastern Huron County called Lewisville. Or Louisville. Or Louieville. While driving through the town one sign reading "Louisville Garage" and another reading "Louisville Party Store" could be seen. As you are leaving the place, the welcoming sign says "Lewisville." John Martin, the Huron road commission secretary, can help to relieve a little of the confusion. After checking the location in a 1904 Huron County platbook, he discovered that two people with the last name "Lewis" owned property there. But after searching through a number of history books, none showed the existence of an official "town" or listed a correct spelling.

The JOA request, brought under the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970, said the Free Press would fail without the deal. Knight-Ridder had said if the plan were not adopted, it would close the i58-year-old Detroit newspaper. Louis Mleczko, president of Lo- cal 22 of The Newspaper Guild, said he was disappointed with the deci- sion. The Guild was the last of the newspapers' unions to drop opposi- tion to the arrangement. "No more separate papers on weekends, no more morning Detroit Newses, no more Sunday Free Presses they've known it in the past, no more Detroit News as they've known it in the past," he said. "Advertisers are going to see sky- rocketing advertising rates after a short period of time," he said. Some suburban newspapers said the JOA would be bad news for them, too. Joining the two Detroit papers advertising departments could present smaller papers with a huge, near-monopoly on newspaper adver- tising and force them to boost their advertising rates, opponents have said. HOA Continued from Page 1 shortage of "ancillary services" personnel, who administer I.V.'s, draw blood, trans- port patients, and make residents' jobs easier. "Basically, with the U of M resident, the buck stops there," Dr. Majeske said. "Anytime there's a shortfall, the resident does all the work." Surprisingly, money is not one of the union's key concerns in the negotiations. Dr. Majeske said while the association had asked for a 15 percent pay raise, hospital officials only offered a five percent increase. The union immediately lowered its raise demands to 12 percent, and Ma- jeske said it would go lower in ex- change for hospital concessions on their other demands. "The union membership certainly does not want a strike," Dr. Majeske said. "They're very committed to staying on the job, and taking care of their patients." Dr. Majeske said he was not cer- tain how long negotiations would go on. He said the two sides of the bar- gaining table are still very far apart. "They have not given any significant concessions on ancillary services, days off, or on-call limitations," he said. Alan Brown, an orthopedic sur- geon resident at the hospital, said he normally works more than 100 hours per week. "There is no doubt in my mind that the long hours we are forced to work adversely impacts patient care," Brown said. "I have seen people mis- diagnose patients, misinterpret in- formation, make poor judgments and even fall asleep in the operating room because of working conditions here. It's time for a change." Dr. Majeske said the lack of an- cillary support is also a stumbling block in the current negotiations be- tween the hospital and the nurses' union. "My guess is that many of the nurses have similar frustrations, in that often there are not the ancil- lary support staff available to do the kinds of things that would free them up to do what they are trained to do," he said. ~be Arbigu ?failu Is an affirmative action emplo-rer. w U 0 "{:" :i.:...
