De K ierk w ill1 bb i:. alk to AN S. Arican President accepts ANC delegation for dialogue JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - President F. W. de Klerk accepted a proposal by the African National Congress yesterday to send a delegation for the first formal talks between the white government and its foremost adversary. The ANC's commitment to dia- logue "is a positive step," reflecting a desire to "search for solutions through peaceful means," said de Klerk, who lifted a 30-year ban on the guerrilla movement three weeks ago. De Klerk also made his first pub- lic statement on controversy involv- ing Defense Minister Magnus Malan, who has been linked in press reports to a secret military unit that allegedly assassinated anti-apartheid activists. The president, interviewed by the state-run TV network, said the alle- gations would be thoroughly investi- gated by a judicial commission, Water, water everywhere A woman jumps over an enormous, all-encompassing puddle outside the Fishbowl which, despite what its name might imply, was perhaps the one dry part of campus.

Opposition political leaders de- manded Malan's resignation and urged de Klerk to ensure that no cover-up takes place. Malan, in statements this week, denied having ordered assassina- tions, but did not rule out the possi- bility the unit may have committed such acts. He pledged the military would not interfere with any investi- gations. The Star newspaper of Johannes- burg quoted sources as saying Malan had been aware of the unit at least since 1987. Police investigators have said in court papers that members of the unit, called the Civil Cooperation Bureau, are suspected of involve- ment in the assassinations last year See S.

Also, Youde Wang, last season's other assistant, will not return to Mich- igan next year. Wang received a non- volleyball related research role at the University of Massachusetts. Bradley-Doppes takes over a voll- eyball program that had been run by Joyce Davis for the last four seas- See COACH, page 10 ACC volleyball Coach of the Year takes by Ryan Schreiber Daily Sports Writer The University of Michigan Athletic Department named Peggy Bradley-Doppes as the women's volleyball coach for the 1990-91 season Wednesday. Bradley-Doppes, 32, was form- erly head coach at the University of North Carolina, where she compiled a 140-77 record. In addition to earn- ing honors in 1989 as the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year, she engineered the Tarheels' 1988. ACC championship and earned NCAA tournament bids in 1988 and 1989. Previous to her coaching stint at North Carolina, Bradley-Doppes compiled an impressive 160-67 record as coach at Miami of Ohio. "She's a proven coach both at Miami of Ohio and North Carolina," said Phyllis Ocker, Associate Dir- ector in charge of women's athletics. "Both institutions are fine educa- tional programs and I think she would understand the requirements of student-athletes here." Besides her volleyball experience as a collegiate head coach, Bradley- Doppes has worked at other levels of competition as well. "She's involved with the Olym- pic program and the United States Volleyball Association," Ocker said. "She's a winner and she'll be an outstanding addition to our pro- gram." Bradley-Doppes already h- number of goals for her rook on as the Michigan coach. "My first goal is to establish some type of spring practice and work on recruiting for next season," Bradley-Doppes said. "I want to set a strong foundation for the volleyball program for years to come." While there were no extenuating circumstances for her departure from North Carolina, Bradley-Doppes cit- ed three major reasons for her switch to Michigan volleyball. "I've been very successful and happy here and there are only a few schools in the country that I could leave UNC for," she said. "Michigan was one of those schools. "I decided to come to Michigan for three reasons. First is the strength and recognition of the Big Ten conference. Second is the natio- nal and international prominence of Michigan in academics and athletics. I want to tap into that resource. And finally is that it is an ideal situation. The setting is going to be suc- cessful." New assistant coach Jennifer Dhaenens is looking forward to a successful squad run by Bradley- Doppes. "I'm very excited about her com- ing here," Dhaenens said. "I think she's going to do wonderful things Speech kicks off Robert Hayden conference by Tim Gammons University alumnus and award-winning Black poet Robert Hayden helped to "build, shape, and determine the texture of African American culture" University of Iowa Profes- sor Darwin Turner said yesterday in the open- ing of a four-day conference on the poet. The conference, titled "Words in the Mourn- ing Time," commemorates the 10th anniver- sary of Hayden's death. Turner said Hayden's relative invisibility during the 1950s was directly attributed to the fact that "neither white scholars nor publishers considered Black poets marketable." The subsequent turmoil of the 60s, said Turner, created a market for "young (Black) writers who proposed to use their work as lit- erary weapons (in the struggle for racial equal- ity)." Turner said Hayden lamented the notion that many believed Black poetry "had to have a message, to preach" often at the expense of art. Hayden's criticism of the younger poets caused controversy within the Black literary community and according to Turner, "some young Black writers charged that Hayden was not sufficiently Black." Turner, however, defended Hayden as a "Black human being who needed no slogans or signboards to assert his Blackness," referring to many of his poems that "denounced economic oppression and racism." Turner said Hayden was simply "tired of having our work inter- preted in a social and political context" instead of appreciated for its lyric and song. Turner stressed Hayden's love of the rhythm of poetry and its structural artistry, emphasiz- ing that Hayden's poetry, whatever the subject matter, never ceases to "reflect his love and compassion for not only all of mankind but for all creatures big and small." Hayden won the Grand Prize of Poetry at the First World Festival of Negro Arts at Dakar in 1966, and See HAYDEN, Page 5 Baker cautious over elections WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State James Baker III said yesterday that even if international ob- servers find the Nicaraguan government wins Sunday's elections fairly the Sandinistas will have to show "a substantial period of good behavior" before there can be normal relations with the United States. He also said the Bush administration reserves the right to decide on its own if the election is fair. Baker, appearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the administration would insist on pe- riod of good behavior including an end to support for leftist insurgents in neighboring El Salvador and recon- ciliation with domestic political opponents, before end- ing economic sanctions and restoring full diplomatic re- lations. The secretary accused the government of President Daniel Ortega of intimidating opponents and poll watchers besides denying visas to congressional ob- servers. The leading opposition group - the United National Opposition, headed by Violeta Chamorro - has re- ceived U.S. aid in its bid to govern the country. Baker said that the United States is "prepared to rec- ognize a government that wins a free election." Then he set conditions that must be met for the restoration of normal relations and asserted U.S. authority to judge the elections. Observer groups, including one led by former Presi- dent Carter and another sponsored by the United Na- tions, will assess the election and "arrive at reasoned judgments" about its fairness, the secretary said. "But, in light of experience, the United States needs to make its own judgment." See BAKER, Page 2 .Sen. Durenberger to be investigated for actions WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate Ethics Committee said yesterday it would begin a trial-like hearing on Sen.
