(AP) - President George Bush telephoned Nelson Mandela from the White House yesterday and told him all Americans "were rejoicing at his re- lease" after 27 years in South Africa's prisons and personally in- vited him to the White House. "I stated to him our desire to see a peaceful evolution towards a to- tally racially free South Africa, a so- ciety without prejudice, a society of total freedom," Bush told reporters in the Rose Garden yesterday afternoon. "He told me that he wanted to consult some of his colleagues, but that he expected he would be able to accept my invitation," the president said. "It was a very friendly conversa- tion. It lasted five or six minutes, maybe, and he expressed his grati- tude to me and to the American peo- ple for calling," Bush said. The president said the future of U.S. sanctions against the white minority government of South Africa was not discussed during his brief conversation with the African National Congress leader. "That did not come up. I will ad- dress that at an appropriate time. There's no time frame. I will be dis- cussing that with our top advisers," said Bush, who on Saturday called South African President F.W. de Klerk and invited him to pay a sepa- rate visit to Washington. "I'm not prepared to express my view on sanctions at this time. We've had some momentous events, and I think the thing is to let these events settle in now," said Bush. "There's differences of opinion in the Congress... (and) American public opinion. Let's just rejoice in the fact that Mr. de Klerk took some very forward steps and let us rejoice in the fact that Mr. Mandela is free." Asked whether he planned to send Secretary of State James Baker to South Africa now, Bush said, "I have no immediate plans to do that," but said he would not rule it out. Bush, asked whether he plans a more active U.S. role in seeking a peaceful solution to the problems in South Africa, said: "Anytime that human rights and equality are at stake anywhere in the world, the United States has a very useful role to play, and I think both President de Klerk and Mr. Mandela feel that way. Indeed, both of them indicated that to me. Piots broke out yesterday in Cape Town, South Africa where thousands turned out to hear former political prisoner Nelson Mandela speak. The man was wounded by police during the riot. REJOICE continued from Page 1 Africa and throughout the world. "Freedom as we know it is a struggle," he said. "We are not free yet. We are not free until everybody is free." After the speeches, the celebra- tion moved into the "cultural" part of the evening. Led by the pounding rhythms of bongo drums, people joined hands across the Diag to dance and join in singing, "Free Nelson Mandela" and other songs of free- dom. "Soon and very soon, we are go- ing to change the world... no more apartheid now, we are 'going to change the world.wIt's going to last ,forever and ever," they sang. SFirst-year Residential College student Julia Figueira-Mcdonough, who attended the celebration, said it is important that student action is not limited to the struggle for free- dpm in South Africa. "We should put our money where our mouth is, and encourage and support civil fights groups here on campus," she said. "We can't preach it for other cpuntries without having it here." MANDELA Continued from page 1 Black youths smashed shop windows in the city center. Some youths retaliated by hurl- ing bottles at the officers. Hundreds of terrified people waiting to hear Mandela ran for cover as police fired blasts of shotgun, pellets. Clashes between police and cele- brating Blacks were reported in at least two other areas, while in Jo- IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Aquino refuses to meet U.S. Defense Secretary Cheney HONOLULU- Defense Secretary Dick Cheney yesterday sliced one day off a scheduled visit next week to the Philippines after President Corazon Aquino said she would not meet with him. Aquino, in a snubwhich comes one week prior to Cheney's visit to the Philippines, announced Saturday she would refuse to meet him after he expressed unhappiness over U.S. support for her government and after she saw negative reports in the U.S. media about the efficacy of her government in light of a series of coup attempts. Even though a meeting with Aquino had not formally been placed on Cheney's schedule, Aquino has routinely met with high ranking officials. The lack of a get-together is stinging because of President's George Bush's decision to send U.S. Air force jets to her aid during the latest coup attempt December 1. Chrysler cuts 2,300 workers LAS VEGAS - Chrysler Corp. yesterday said it will cut deeper into its salaried work force as it continues with an accelerated cost-cutting program. The nation's number three automaker in October announced a program designed to carve $1 billion in costs from its $26 billion budget by the end of 1990. At that time, Chrysler said 2,300 salaried employees, or eight percent of its 31,000 member white-collar work force, would be removed from the company's payroll. Chrysler spokesperson Steve Harris said yesterday that more white- collar workers would be cut through attrition. He said he knew of no plans for further layoffs, and couldn't say how many positions the company planned to eliminate. Automotive News, a weekly industry journal, quoted sources in Monday's editions as saying the new round of cuts would remove five percent to 10 percent of the company's salaried work force, in addition to those announced in Oct. Mich. Sen. Engler to begin gubernatorial campaign LANSING, Mich. - Senate Majority Leader John Engler headed north yesterday to kick off his gubernatorial campaign, officially starting his effort to unseat Democratic Governor James Blanchard. "I'm ready and the people are ready," he said. The Mount Pleasant Republican will announce his candidacy today in Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Midland, Detroit and Lansing. No other Republicans are expected to enter the race, leaving Engler free to focus on Blanchard all the way to the Nov. 6 general election. Blanchard hasn't announced his intentions, but is expected to seek a third four-year term. As an unofficial candidate, Engler has criticized Blanchard, saying his spending priorities are misplaced, especially on education. He also rejected Blanchard's claim that the state has made a miraculous recovery form the bitter recession of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Oil spill cleanup continues HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - Cleanup continued yesterday on Southern California beaches smeared with globs of oil spilled from a tanker, but a 14-mile-long slick in the water may be impossible to skim, the Coast Guard said. One-third of an estimated 400,000 gallons of Alaskan crude spilled Wednesday still menace the coast. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration said that 23 percent of the crude spilled from the American Trader was skimmed or picked up at sea as an oil-water mixture, while 43 percent evaporated or naturally dissipated. The unrecovered 34 percent, a 14-mile long, 4-mile wide slick, was spread out on the water as a thin sheen and was nearly impossible to re- trieve, Chief Warrant Officer Rick Meidt said. EXTRAS Slimy swamp specimen stops show-and-tell session VERO BEACH, Fla. - A 3-foot alligator was returned to the wild after a night spent in a gerbil cage and a trip to an elementary school for an aborted-show-and-tell session. The gator, found by 11-year-old Bradley Schlomer in his yard, was ordered removed from the classroom and sent home by the principal, then freed last Wednesday by an animal control officer. Carol Joiner, a school secretary at Rosewood Elementary, said she knew just what to do when she saw the gator that had been brought in for show-and-tell: "I went out the back. "Last week, it was a baby coral snake," she said. "They put it in a little tin box and drove up to school. And I called the mother to tell her to come back and pick up the snake and she said, 'What snake?"' Bradley's mother, Sheri Schlomer, said she was unaware that her son and his sister Bobbi had hidden the gator in the house. JOSH MOOUily To celebrate the release of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, students and Ann Arbor residents gathered on the diag last night for an 8 p.m. rally. S 0 hannesburg thousands of young Blacks received an escort from traffic police as they ran triumphantly through the city. Columns of cheer- ing activists jogged through Durban and other cities. Dr. Aslam Dasoo, tending the in- jured at a first aid station, said about 100 people had been hurt, and jour- nalists counted 130 injuries. There was no immediate statement from police. In Johannesburg, hundreds of young Blacks, joined by a few whites, ran through downtown streets shooting, "Viva ANC!" after the release. Traffic police patrol cars cleared the way for them. In Soweto, the sprawling Black township outside Johannesburg where Mandela has his home, crowds of supporters danced and sang in cel- ebration, many under umbrellas be- cause of a steady rain. There were unconfirmed reports that three celebrating Blacks in the tribal homeland of Ciskei were shot dead by police. In Inanda, a Black township outside Durban, a local journalist said she saw one Black killed and five injured when police fired at a celebration. The decision to free Mandela was announced Saturday by President F.W. de Klerk, who had met Man- dela the previous night. He described the Black leader as "committed to a peaceful solution." The state-run South African Broadcasting Corp. gave live televi- sion coverage to the release. Is WHERETI TR THISI W ERB TH Y: O: . S 1*: ....?.... ;;:; W }i ki:::{ :G::" :::=}:{::.;}L: tJS{:?

Director of Public Safety at Michigan State University, Bruce Benson, who got his Doctorate from the University, said he sup- ports an autonomous, armed force on campus. Benson said MSU has had a fully deputized police department since 1928 but that deputization is not enough. "It is unnecessary and demeaning for security officers to be responsible to the Sheriff," Benson said. Director of University Relations Walter Harrison said the regents would have to consider financial is- sues in addition to security require- ments. "Right now the University pays the city $450,000 for police protec- tion," Harrison said, "the regents would have to draw up a cost/benefit analysis-how much it would cost to train the new officers, etc." Harrison agreed that the question of having campus police has histori- cally been a sensitive issue. "Any time you give officers authority, people get nervous," he said. MURDER Continued from Page 1 torney Office documents say War- mus met Soloman at Greenville Elementary where the two were teaching during the Fall of '87. They became romantically involved in the Spring of '88. Warmus changed schools in the Fall of '88, and then again in the Fall of '89, but maintained her rela- tionship with Soloman. On the morning of January 15, 1989, Warmus allegedly entered the the Soloman home, knowing that their 15 year-old daughter was away, and shot Betty-Jeanne nine times. Warmus then met Paul Soloman at a Holiday Inn in Yonkers some- time between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m. After he left the hotel, Soloman re- turned home to find his wife's body. At the request of his lawyer, Soloman ended his relationship with Warmus immediately following the incident. He later became involved with Barbara Ballor, another teacher from Greenville Elementary. Warmus then started to pursue Soloman and Ballor. Reports said she followed the couple to Puerto Rico. On one occasion.
