Panel may draft complete 'U' drug .and alcohol policy The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 16, 1989 - Page 3 Gorbachev rejects German reunification by Kristine LaLonde Daily Administration Reporter A new University task force on drugs and alcohol hopes to have a comprehensive drug and alcohol pol- icy in place by the end of the school year. The 54-member committee of students, faculty and staff, formed by University President James Duder- stadt last April, held its first meeting last Monday. The panel has been looking into issues ranging from al- cohol in the residence halls to mandatory drug testing. The University currently has a number of different alcohol and drug policies covering faculty, staff and stud- s. Task force co-chair Beth Reed, a social work and women's studies professor, said the plan will "ensure greater consistency among unit poli- cies" and make treatment programs known. Another task force co-chair, Fred- erick Glaser, the director of the Uni- versity Hospitals Alcohol Program and the new Michigan Substance * Abuse Center, stressed the task force's goal to form an extensive al- cohol and drug abuse prevention program. He said the federal gov- ernment requires such a program un- der the "Drug-Free Workplace Law" to receive certain federal subsidies. Glaser said the law was contro- versial because of its provisions on mandatory drug testing. The law in- cludes but does not require the drug tests, but Glaser said the task force will look into the possibilities of a drug testing program. "Drug testing will be one of the things that will have to be consid- ered," Glaser said. "A preventive program would not necessarily entail drug testing, but it might." He said drug testing, if imple- mented, would most likely apply to staff members who infringed on the health or safety of others, such as medical personnel. The task force will solicit public input into the policy through a series of public hearings on Nov. 27, Dec. 4 and Dec. 11. Reed said the task force will need public opinion to have a wide per- spective on the policy. "We have a very broad and com- prehensive charge, no one will have a broad overview," she said. Of 567 undergraduates polled in a 1988 University Health Services survey, 95 percent considered alcohol a problem on campus. Sixty-two percent considered it a major prob- lem. MOSCOW (AP) - President Mikhail Gorbachev yesterday rejected claims that reform in Eastern Europe spell the demise of socialism and in- sisted the Communist Revolution "was not a mistake." Speaking to a national student conference in Moscow, Gorbachev also said the existence of two Germanys "has been recognized by the world community" since the end of World War II and even talk about reunification constitutes interference in the affairs of the two countries. The Soviet Union in the past week has flatly opposed any sugges- tion that East and West Germany should be rejoined. "Noting that certain forces in the West try to create the impression that profound changes in socialist countries signify the failure of so- cialist ideas, Gorbachev said that this was wishful thinking," the official news agency Tass said. It did not specify which forces Gorbachev had in mind. In a televised speech that ran al- most two hours, Gorbachev ham- mered home to students whom he seemed to suspect believed otherwise that "the October revolution was not a mistake." Using a persuasive, emotional tone, Gorbachev extolled the ideol- ogy behind the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and condemned "people who are trying to find the roots of our troubles not in the distortions of socialism that took place, but in its very nature and principles." "We cannot allow dissatisfaction with ourselves, with how we live now, to be transformed into attempts to question our indisputable, univer- sally recognized achievements and the choice of socialism itself," he said. That Gorbachev felt the need to come to the defense of the most ba- sic ideological postulates of Soviet society indicated that they are com- ing under ever wider attack as the "We cannot allow dissatisfaction with ourselves, with how we live now, to be transformed into attempts to question our indisputable, universally recognized achieve- ments and the choice of socialism itself," -President Mikhail Gorbachev country struggles through economic crisis and sees East bloc neighbors moving toward multiparty systems. In his remarks about East Germany, which were carried by Tass but not shown on television, Gorbachev expressed for the second day in a row concern over Western powers' response to the democratic upheaval in Eastern Europe. CORRECTIONS The proposed protest policy issued by the University Council can be equally applied to students, faculty, staff, and administrators. This point was unclear in a Daily story yesterday.

(AP) - A former Okla-. homa football player said yesterday he saw teammates Nigel Clay, Bernard Hall, and Glen Bell rape an Oklahoma City woman in a football dormitory the night of Jan. 21. Jimmy Fennell testified in the trial of Hall, Clay, and Bell, who are accused of first-degree rape in the alleged assault on the 20-year-old woman. The three men were suspended from the university after charges were filed in February. Hall is from Detroit, Bell is from Oklahoma, and Clay is from California. At the end of Fennell's testimony, District Attorney Tully McCoy asked one by one whether Fennell had seen Hall, Clay, and Bell rape the woman. "Yes sir," Fennell replied each time. In cross-examination, Fennell admitted he had lied to police in two earlier statements. He said he didn't tell the truth until the third time police talked to him. "I didn't want to be where I am now," Fennell said. Fennell denied that any promises were made by prosecutors in exchange for his testimony. He told the jury that the woman at times screamed and struggled with her attackers during the 20-to- 30-minute assault. He said Hall guided the alleged victim into a bedroom. He said he later heard "a scream and somebody yell, 'Stop."' Fennell said that when he ran into the bed- room with Clay, Bell, and Keith Traylor, he saw Hall and the woman on the floor. He said initial attempts by two of the defendants to rape the woman were unsuccessful as she struggled against the attacks. He said Hall later laid on top of the woman and he saw him push up against her. "When he pushedup, she just screamed and said, 'No, please!" Fennell testified that although the room was dark, he caught glimpses of the attackers when someone opened a door. He said he tried to leave the room, but couldn't because someone was standing outside the bedroom door. He also said someone pushed him onto the. woman at one point. Fennell said that as he was pushed, he saw Traylor standing in a corner of the room. Fennell had testified in the preliminary that he did nothing to the woman and quickly moved away. He said yesterday that he went to his room to change clothes and later saw Clay, who told him the woman thought Fennell was one of the at- tackers. He said Clay told him not to worry about anything because the woman couldn't iden- tify anyone. Fennell also testified that he took as threats statements from Hall before giving what he said were the "truthful" statements about the alleged attack. He said Hall told him he had relatives who would "come and take care of anyone who got in his way." Rapist of by Karen Akerlof Daily Staff Writer U, students accepts plea bargain Michael Johnson pleaded guilty on Tuesday to one charge of first de- gree criminal sexual conduct for the rapes of two University students he and his uncle committed in 1983. In return for the guilty plea, As- sistant County Prosecutor Larry Burgess reduced the original charges - two counts of armed robbery, three counts of criminal sexual con- duct, and one count of breaking and entering with intent to commit crim- inal sexual conduct - to the one charge of criminal sexual conduct. Burgess said Johnson could re- ceive anywhere from one year to life in prison, and would not be eligible for probation. Johnson's uncle, Harrison John- son, was sentenced to five life terms in prison last month after police matched the Johnsons' fingerprints, taken from a break-in last winter, to those taken from the students' Long- shore Dr. apartment in 1983. Michael Johnson's prints were also matched to those found in the student's apartment on a window frame, a jewelry box, and a "penny tin" in which one of the women kept change. Only one of the women was at home when the two men reached in through an open window, took off the screen, and unlocked the door at about 2:00 a.m. on Oct. 4, 1983. The men attacked the woman, and then her roommate when she re- turned to the apartment, Burgess said. Burgess said the Johnsons robbed the apartment and tied up the two women before leaving. Neither of the women could de- scribe the men with much detail be- cause the apartment was totally dark. Michael Johnson initially claimed in court that his uncle forced him to rape the two women, Burgess said. In the end, however, Johnson confessed to aiding and abetting the crime free from duress. Under Michigan laws on aiding and abetting, Michael Johnson was then subject to the same charges as his uncle - the three criminal sex- ual counts, two robbery counts, and a count of breaking and entering. Because Michael Johnson was 15 at the time of the crime the case had to be transferred from Juvenile Court to Circuit Court. Johnson is cur: rently 21 years old. Michael Johnson will be sen= tenced by Judge William Ager Jr. on Dec. 8.
