Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 16, 1990 BYLAW Continued from page 1 students," Frank said. He said the bylaw was most likely intended to be used only in emergency situa- tions, when no University system existed to handle a problem, and when there was no time for the re- gents to act. "I don't want to belittle a serious problem that should be addressed," Frank said. "But I don't know that iC's the president's role to do this." But for administrators who sup- port a conduct code outlining regula- tidns and sanctions for student mis- conduct, Copeland's case is a prime example of why a code is needed. They say the University can not ig- nbre students who violate the stan- dards of the community. However, FORUM Continued from page 1 tinued development in Ann Arbor. "We should encourage careful devel- opment, and only development that we need," said Councilmember Larry Hunter (D-First Ward). James Marsh, a Demo- cratic/Green candidate from the Fourth Ward, said the city needs to assess what development has given to and taken from the city. "(Unrestrained development) is creat- ing a climate that is making the city uninhabitable," Marsh said. "We need to place limits on growth so that everyone can live in Ann Ar- bor." However, Republican candidate Thomas Richardson, an incumbent in the Fifth Ward, said prosperity and growth are not frightening to him. He stressed Ann Arbor's re- sponsibility to accept development in order to create jobs that will keep southeastern Michigan residents em- ployed. The forum, which was held at pity hall, was sponsored by the Ann Arbor Environmental Agenda. CORRECTION Yesterday's story about the Manning Marable lecture should have stated that it has not been established if Malcom X was killed by a member of the Nation of Islam. UM News in The Daily 764-0552 administrators do not feel the author- ity to do so should be only be vested in the president. "(Copeland's case) really spells out the reason why it's appropriate to have a set of rules and a method of enforcing them," Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said yesterday. "People should not be injured; they should be safe and secure. Prop- erty should not be damaged," Roach said adding that any incident involv- ing injury or a threat of injury should be the University's concern. But Roach said punishment should not be arbitrary. "Why should it be left to an ad hoc determination of the office of the president every time there's a question of miscon- duct?" he asked. Roach said having a code would provide a structured way to deal with student's non-academic conduct. Richard Kennedy, vice president for government relations and Univer- sity secretary, agrees there are better ways than using bylaw 2.01 to han- dle student misconduct. "There are all kinds of ways we should be able to deal with one an- other without having the president involved," he said. Because the University doesn't have a set of procedures outlining those ways, the president is the only one who can now do anything, he said. "If the process is absent we've got to have something." But the University could have taken the case through the court sys- tem, said Michigan Student Assem- bly Aaron Williams. Instead, Duder- stadt used the case to "test the wa- ters" and see how upset students would be over the use of bylaw 2.01 to discipline a student for non-aca- demic conduct, he said. "The case opens the door to other problems," said Michael Schechter, and LSA senior and president of the campus American Civil Liberties Union. "This case involves really a crime. Opponents of the code are worried about the University control- ling political debates," he said. "The case sets a precedent which could be expanded on and serve other purposes (beyond disciplining for a crime)," he said. Copeland was accused of two counts of malicious destruction to the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house on Feb. 14. He pleaded "no contest" to the charges.

HELP tMELDO MFW 3,16/ IN BIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Automakers argue clean fuels proposal may harm industry WASHINGTON - A proposal to require the manufacture of cars that burn clean fuels is the last major obstacle to Senate approval of a clean-air bill the industry can accept, spokesperson said yesterday. Automakers voiced arguments similar to those that prevailed last week, when the Senate rejected emission controls tougher than those in the compromise bill negotiated by the Bush administration and Senate leaders. The amendment could be financially devastating to automakers and dealers, forcing them to sell cars that consumers might not want, said Tom Greene, executive director for legislative affairs of the National Automobile Dealers Association. Under the amendment, automakers would have to manufacture and sell millions of clean-burning cars. Also, reformulated gasoline would have to be sold in cities not meeting federal air quality standards. Child labor abuses uncovered WASHINGTON - A surprise nationwide sweep of fast-food restau- rants and other businesses found 7,000 teenagers employed for too many hours or in dangerous jobs in violation of child-labor laws, Labor Secre- tary Elizabeth Dole said yesterday. The three day investigation, called "Operation Child Watch," is ex- pected to result in more than $1.8 million in civil fines against busi nesses, Dole said. Fines totaling $2.7 million were assessed during all of 1989. The majority of the allegations involved firms in which 14- and 15- year-olds worked more hours or later at night during the school week than allowed under federal law, said William Brooks, an assistant labor secre- tary. But there were also more than 900 youngsters, mostly 16- and 17-year- olds, who were performing dangerous tasks or using hazardous equipment such as power-driven meat-slicing machinery, dough mixers and paper- balers. Proposed bill to make family planning a basic health service LANSING - Unwanted pregnancies and infant mortality would be re- duced if family planning was made a basic service provided by the state, officials said yesterday in proposing legislation. Lawmakers sponsoring the bill emphasized that family planning ser- vices wouldn't include abortion counseling, abortions, prenatal care or other pregnancy-related health services. The Department of Public Health would be required to offer services to help women have the number of children they want within the desired time period. Those services could include fertility enhancement techniques. or contraceptives devices. The state is providing family planning services to about 60 percent of the 467,000 poor women and sexually active teen-agers who are at risk for unintended pregnancies, said Sen. Lana Pollack (D-Ann Arbor) and spon- sor of the bill. Mild winter may cause drought WASHINGTON - This year's mild winter could come back to haunt Americans in the form of a drought, the National Weather Service said yesterday. The March hydrological outlook, usually an annual report on potential for spring flooding from snowmelt, this year is more a chronicle of miss- ing snow and dry soil conditions. Unless heavy precipitation occurs, the return of drought to major areas of the nation is imminent, the report said. Drought plagued much of the nation in the hot summer of 1988, eas- ing somewhat last year. Pickers of dryness have persisted, however. Serious water-supply problems are a distinct possibility for much of California as well as in the Great Basin, lower Colorado, parts of the Rio Grande and in western and southern Texas, the weather service reported. EXTRAS Irish county to boycott St. Patrick's Day festivities LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Fla. - March 17 is just another day in Lafayette County, Florida, the nation's most Irish county. The county seat is named Mayo, but there will be no St. Patrick's Day parade, and no green beer at the Hideaway Tavern. No shamrocks, not even a leprechaun. Faith n' begorra, y'all! Residents, in fact, were surprised to learn that in the last U.S. census, 17.7 percent of Lafayette's 4,035 residents declared Irish ancestry, the highest percentage of any county in the United States. Apparently, Lafayette's Irish descend not from Roman Catholics who left Ireland after the 19thcentury famine, but from Protestants who mi- grated years earlier. These immigrants traced their own roots back to Scotland, which their ancestors left in the 1600s to colonize northeastern Ireland, and many moved on to America. abe £ibiguuikilt The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
