Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Monday, November 20,1989 LASC Continued from page 1 against the student movement," said LASC member David Austin. "We want Duderstadt to make the same kind of statement about the Salvado- ran government's force against stu- dents and professors." Six priests and two others were killed at the University of Central America in El Salvador. Austin also cited reports that the University's sister school in San Salvador has been "destroyed." About 150 demonstrators partici- pated in a three-hour sit-in at Duder- stadt's office, termed a "very peaceful demonstration" by Director of Public Safety Leo Heatley. Assistant to the President Shirley Clarkson told the demonstrators that the President was at a retreat and could not be reached, but said she would convey the students' message to him. The protesters then confronted Vice President for Government Rela- tions and Secretary Richard Kennedy. Kennedy would not comment on the administration's behalf, but he said the protesters' demands would be given "serious consideration." After about an hour, Kennedy told the students that Duderstadt would meet with 10 of them in a closed meeting this afternoon to dis- cuss their demands. The protesters then asked how the administrators contacted Duderstadt. Clarkson responded, "He called us." Kennedy said, "We called him." LASC members then charged that University officials lied to them about being able to reach Duderstadt. "I think we have a duty to say some- thing," said LASC member and RC sophomore Martha Panschar. "I'm insulted that we were lied to today." "I didn't know where he was, and I didn't know what anyone else knew," Kennedy said. "(But) we were obviously able to contact him." Kennedy said he personally called Duderstadt. "Somebody gave me a number; I really can't remember who," he said. As the protesters waited, a group of "concerned faculty and campus re- ligious leaders" - including Sociol- ogy Prof. Jeffery Paige, Ethics and Religion Prof. Bob Hauert, and As- sociation of Religious Counselors Executive Committee member Vir- ginia Peacock- sent a letter to Dud- erstadt, requesting that he write a let- ter condemning the deaths at the University of Central America and calling for an investigation.

Milwaukee. MAC Continued from Page 1 MSA President Aaron Williams, an engineering senior, said students' end-of-the-term pressures may explain the lack of candidates. He added that two years ago, when Harris was selected to chair the commission, the search process took two months. "These things take time," he said. LSA junior Crystal Gardner, a Black Student Union officer, stressed the importance of MAC's role as a unifying organization for minority groups on campus. "Through MAC, our organization is able to talk to and work with other minority organizations that we might not normally be working with," she said. Without MAC, Gardner said, a vital support group would be lost. "Minorities as a whole would suffer," she said. Ramon said if the commission became dormant, the rapport between minority groups would also suffer. He said the position demands that the chair be well organized, able to effectively communicate with many campus groups, and have an understanding of different cultures.

IN*BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Boeing workers end strike SEATTLE - Boeing Co. and Machinists union negotiators, spurred by an unusual move by a federal mediator, agreed to a tentative contract yesterday that could end the 47-day-old strike by 57,000 workers in nine states. After 14 hours of talks that ended about 3:30 a.m., chief Boeing negotiator Larry McKean said the production workers could be back on the job as early as Wednesday at the world's No. 1 maker of passenger jets. "This proposal is a substantial improvement," over previous offers, said Tom Baker, president of Seattle-area District Lodge 751, which represents nearly 80 percent of the Boeing workers covered by the Machinists contract. SF earthquake victim dies from respiratory failure SAN FRANCISCO - Buck Helm, the longshoreman rescued from a flattened freeway 3 1/2 days after the Oct. 17 earthquake, was mourned yesterday as a gutsy symbol of endurance. His death raised the toll from the quake to 67. Helm died of respiratory failure Saturday night at Kaiser-Permanente medical Center in Oakland, said hospital spokesman Ron Treleven. No other details on his death were available. Helm had been taken off a kidney dialysis machine, and doctors had hoped to wean him from the respirator that had enabled him to breathe. His death raised the toll from the collapse of the double-deck Nimitz Freeway in Oakland to 42. Overall, the 7.1-magnitude quake killed 67 people, injured more than 2,800, left more than 14,000 homeless and caused an estimated $7 billion in damage. Congress tackles final bills WASHINGTON D.C. - Congress tried tackling a pile of trouble- some budget, health and other bills in a rare session yesterday, spurred by lawmakers' hopes of leaving the capital for the year before Thanksgiving. House-Senate negotiators, who on Saturday announced an agreement repealing Medicare benefits for elderly people with lengthy illnesses, met again yesterday to consider retaining parts of the program. A separate deficit-reduction bill - also agreed to Saturday by bargain- ers from the two chambers - also ran into problems. Some legislators complained it failed to achieve the $14 billion in savings President Bush has demanded. Confusion reigned about the effect the measure would have on this year's federal shortfall, which congressional budget experts think will reach about $141 billion. NAACP criticizes Supreme Court civil rights decision WASHINGTON D.C.- Federal judges dismissed at least 96 discrimination claims since last June's Supreme Court decision narrowing the application of an 1866 civil rights law, according to a report released yesterday. The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. surveyed lower federal court decisions since the Supreme Court held that employees could not sue under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to press claims of racial ha- rassment on the job. The decision "has had very serious and regrettable consequences for the men and women who live with the intractable realities of racial discrimi- nation,"the group said. The 5-4 ruling by the Supreme Court said the 1866 law, known as section 1981 of the federal code, was enacted by Congress to allow newly freed slaves to negotiate and enforce contracts. EXTRAS Daily Libels end hiatus, notch volleyball victory over MSA The Michigan Daily, a renowned volleyball powerhouse, rose to accept a Michigan Student Assembly challenge, and beat the legislators in a best-3-of-5 volleyball match Saturday. A quick win in the first game, spearheaded by Daily MVPs Mark Katz and John Niyo, made it very clear that the Daily's finely tuned volleyball machine was just too much for the motley set of representatives. After the briefly distracted journalists allowed the MSA team to squeeze out a narrow victory in the second game, the Daily went on to claim the two remaining matches. The final results: three games to one, the press over the newsmakers. "We were on a mission," said Niyo, a Daily sports staffer. "I saw the fear in their eyes." MSA President Aaron Williams dismissed the Daily victory and called for a rematch. "The odds were against us overall," he said, noting that MSA fielded a team of only seven members. "We still played a valiant and very good game." Uh, sure Aaron. Whatever you say. What lesson does the Daily victory hold for MSA and other upstart campus groups, searching vainly for a way to assert some face-saving sense of parity with the Daily? Quite simple. It won't happen. Just be grateful we're so modest. - David Schwartz The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
