Pam Nadasen, a member of the Free Southern Africa Committee which constructed the first anti- Apartheid shanty in the spring of 1986, said the University should not try to prohibit student expression and awareness of the issues by get- ting rid of the shanties. "I would expect the governing body of the University to encourage this kind of dialogue and debate, considering this is a center for educa- tion, rather than try to stifle people's opinions," she said.

HOUSING continued from page 1 However, the rates will be slightly less than originally pro- posed due to a regental decision which requires the Office of the Vice President for Student Services to continue to allocate $20,000 to Talk to Us, a student theater group which portrays campus issues. Vice President for Student Ser- vices Henry Johnson and Director of Housing Robert Hughes had re- quested that the Housing Department take over funding the theater group, which costs approximately $41,000 or $4.00 per student living in the residence hall. After hearing comments from students Zach Kittrie, an LSA se- nior, and Michigan Student Assem- bly President Aaron Williams, an engineering senior, who asked the regents to question where the money would be spent, Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) made a motion that the board decrease funding for Talk to Us by $16,000. "There has got to be some disci- pline on the expenses of the institu- tion," Baker said. Baker said that in his18 years on the board, he had never seen housing cut its costs. He drew a distinction, however, between the expenses an institution incurs as part of its operation, as in recycling, and the expenses which are extrane- ous activities, such as student groups. Last year the regents approved an approximate six percent increase for housing to cover inflation and new recycling programs. The motion to decrease Talk to Us funding failed, and on first vote all of the proposed housing rate in- creases failed. After a short recess, a new amendment to require student ser- vices and housing to share the fund- ing of Talk to Us was prooosed and accepted along with the overall hous- ing rate increase. With the passing of the amend- ment, Regent Thomas Roach ( D- Saline) noted that all students at the University would continue to pay for the program, not just the students in the residence halls who utilize it most. Larry Durst, an administrative manager in residence operations, said the change in funding mean students would pay $2.26 less than originally proposed by the housing department. Protest violence builds in Romania BUCHAREST, Romania (AP)- Demonstrators yelling "Down with Communism!" smashed their way into interim government headquarters with rocks and iron rods yesterday in the most violent protest since the December pro-democracy revolution. Soldiers fell back before the demonstrators, who numbered more than 1,000. An official said not enough troops were on hand to keep order. The state news agency Rompres said more than 20 paratroopers were severely wounded, but reporters saw only two injured soldiers. The building on Victory Square has been used by Prime Minister Pe- tre Roman since the revolution that toppled longtime Communist dicta- tor Nicolae Ceausescu, later exe- cuted. The enraged crowd occupied the offices, shouting for interim Presi- dent Ion Iliescu to resign and accus- ing the provisional government of being dominated by Communists from the Ceausescu's regime. The only member of government in the building apparently was Vice Prime Minister Gelu Voican Voiculescu. Demonstrators seized him, punched him and dragged him onto a balcony, where he was jeered. Sol- diers hustled him to his office, where they guarded him from hundreds of demonstrators yelling "Voican! Voican!" The crowd broke inside the build- ing after soldiers hauled away protesters who scaled the building and waved Romanian flags from a balcony. Protestors told the crowd one man who was hauled away had been shot, prompting cries of "Assassins! Murderers!" SIN IEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Rebels attack power plant SAN SALVADOR - Leftist rebels attacked an electric substation, knocking out power briefly and injuring a guard, before they were repelled by army soldiers, the military said yesterday. The skirmish Saturday night in the western part of the capital did not result in long or widespread power outages, the military statement said. No injuries to soldiers of the U.S.-supported government or to rebels of that Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front were reported. The last major rebel offensive occurred in November when more than 1,000 people were killed in fighting in and around San Salvador. In his Sunday homily, San Salvador's Roman Catholic archbishop, Arturo Rivera Damas, said that government policies and rebel attacks were causing great hardship to the nation's people. "The pain has been immense," he said. The voice of our Lord is res- onating strongly on all horizons to say that violence brings about more violence, that only love can build a new world." Dingell says proposed '91 defense budget is wasteful WASHINGTON - The Bush administration's fiscal 1991 budget would repeat wasteful mistakes of the previous decade by rushing weapon systems into production without adequate testing, Rep. John Dingell says (D-Michigan). Dingell, chairperson of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said $10 billion to $20 billion could be trimmed from Bush's proposed $292 billion defense budget by delaying the purchase of weapons in need of further research and testing, including a Navy attack submarine and de- stroyer and the Air Force's B-2 bomber. "When we look at our military procurement strategy, it still reflects the thinking of the early 1980s," Dingell said in a Feb. 9 letter to Presi- dent Bush made public yesterday. Bush's budget would continue rapid procurement, which no longer is justified with the dramatic improvement in East-West relations, he said. Pentagon spokesperson Chris Simko said she had not seen the letter and could not comment. Motel fire kills at least three HAGERSTOWN, MD - A natural gas leak apparently triggered an explosion and fire that ripped through a three-story motel yesterday morn- ing, killing at least three people and forcing some guests to jump from the windows, authorities said. The 5:30 a.m. blast blew out the middle front of the 62-unit, three- story Super 8 Motel, throwing debris as far as 300 feet from the building, Fire Chief Gary Hawbaker said. Hawbaker said there was a natural gas line in the middle of the fire, "so we couldn't put out the rest of the fire until the gas was shut off." It took fire fighters about 30 minutes to shut off the gas, he said. Fire fighters found the body of James Scharnek, 45, of Milwaukee in a second floor hallway of the motel, and the bodies of Kristoddie Brown, 25, and Mercy Keyes were found in a third floor room directly over the origin of the explosion, said Dr. Edward Ditto III, Washington County medical examiner. Bill may raise Detroit's taxes LANSING, Mich. - Republican lawmakers don't think of it as Detroit-bashing, but see a Detroit bailout bill as giving them valuable leverage for a property tax cut. A showdown begins this week over the bailout bill. It would reinstate a 5 percent utility tax -deemed in court to be invalid- so the state's largest city can be spared repaying $102 million and a flirtation with bankruptcy. The House Taxation Committee tomorrow will review a bill that continues the tax and lets the city off the hook for the money it collected since the tax expired on June 30, 1988. Focusing just on that issue, lawmakers agree it's better to allow Detroit to tax itself rather than have the entire state pick up the pieces later. Bush reasserts position on Germany's NATO status KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine -President Bush said yesterday he hopes to bring Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to visit his oceanside retreat here during June's superpower summit. "I think he'd enjoy it," Bush said, speaking with reporters as he and his wife Barbara enjoyed a brisk hour-long walk on the beach. Bush also said he continues to believe that a reunified Germany should be part of NATO, despite Soviet reservations. "That's our position," Bush said. Bush was asked about the assertion on Saturday by a top adviser to Gorbachev, Valentin Falin, that if the Western alliance insists on "NATO membership for all of Germany, then there won't be any German unifica- tion." "There will be a lot of discussions before now and the event," Bush said. "We have our position supporting (West German) Chancellor (Helmut) Kohl. We know what Kohl's position is. We're just going to stay with it." The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
