Roberts said the abortion issue has created divisions within the par- ties, especially the Republican party. "The reason it's a bigger problem for Republicans is because there's a much bigger expectation of them on the part of the ant-abortion commu- nity," she said. Roberts also discussed journalis- tic issues. She said the monopoliza- tion of newspapers has narrowed the market, and forced all papers to strive for objectivity. MANDATE Continued from page 1 "The discussion seems to focus on who the people in our neighbor- hood are," said Achenbaum. He said the University seemed to be collect- ing people from different cultures as if they were "stripes" without also emphasizing the need for a broad range of ideas. "It seems we should really be in- terested in promoting a diversity of ideas which needs but doesn't depend on a diversity of people," Achen- baum said.

"However, the Mandate addresses a different moral and historical im- perative. In the long run, the two are coupled," he said. The goal of the Mandate, says Duderstadt in his foreword of the dlocument, is to "join inextricably together... community and pluralism and excellence and diversity." Michigan Student Assembly President Aaron Williams, an engi- neering senior, said that goal could be reached if the University stops thinking of students as statistics. "These are just numbers. People don't want to be known as a num- ber. The University has to make it know they want (a certain person) because that person is important." CHINA' Continued from page 1 to China's struggling economy, which flourished and then overheated under Deng's economic reforms of the past decade. Li imposed tough austerity measures in 1988 to com- bat excessive growth and runaway inflation. Senior leader Deng Xiaoping was missing from the rostrum, his seat conspicuously empty beside party chief Jiang Zem in. NAMIBIA Continued from page 1 watched the celebrations. South African President F.W. de Klerk marked the end of his nation's rule of Namibia by calling for peace in the region. "I stand here tonight as an advocate. for peace. The season for violence has passed for Namibia and the whole of southern Africa," he said. "It is above all a moment for hope. Hope that the future of this vast and beautiful land will bring peace,' de Klerk added. Soldiers of the new Namibian army in blue uniforms and green berets marched briskly through the stadium to the beat of drums as officers bearing swords barked com- mands. About 25,000 spectators, some of whom waited 12 hours for the ceremony, roared approval at their first sight of the new army. A runner bearing a torch that had been carried about 1,800 miles around the country ran into the sta- dium and lighted a "Flame of Free- dom." AND awetea k ~ol/ o' ye'. 1 Dc .

The spiritual leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas, or Torah guardians, said Torah Flag parties held a crucial meeting and decided to back Shamir, Israel radio said. Earlier Monday, leading rabbinical scholars of the small ultra-Orthodox party Agudat Israel decided to throw their support behind Shimon Peres' Labor Party. Shas leader, Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, indicated Monday on army radio that Shas' support of the Likud was conditional on acceptance of proposals from U.S. Secretary of State James Baker for convening Israeli- Palestinian peace talks. Senate rejects provision to toughen pollution control WASHINGTON - The Senate rejected efforts last night to toughen auto pollution controls in a compromise clean air bill as opponents successfully argued the provision was "a prescription for deadlock." The vote was 52-46 to table, and in effect kill, an amendment which would have required considerably tighter emissions controls on automobiles than a compromise bill crafted by Senate leaders and the White House. It also called for one million vehicles capable of burning fuels other than gasoline toward the end of the decade. Sen. Timothy Wirth, D-Colo., and other backers of the amendment argued that additional restrictions on automobile pollutants were needed because autos "are the biggest source of pollution in our cities." But Senate leaders and supporters of the compromise bill characterized the tougher requirement as threatening enactment of clean air legislation altogether this year because of the strong opposition from the Bush administration. Bill lowers seniors' medicare LANSING - About 250 senior citizens crammed into a committee room yesterday as legislators voted to eliminate some out-of-pocket expenses for seniors whose doctors charge above the Medicare reimbursement rate. The House Judiciary Committee approved the bill, but Republicans said it interfered with the free market system. "We need government regulation of prices only when competition doesn't exist," said Rep. Tom Power, R-Traverse City. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Perry Bullard, D-Ann Arbor, does not change the current requirement that senior citizens pay 20 percent of the charge. "There are many horror stories of senior citizens being victimized by unscrupulous doctors, clinics and hospitals," said Charles Smith, a senior citizen from Detroit. Doctors oppose the bill, and said fewer of them will take Medicare patients because they currently are not fully reimbursed anyway. Lawyers dispute Exxon Valdez captain's sobriety ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A prosecutor denounced yesterday Joseph Hazelwood as a man who drank recklessly before his ship created the nation's worst oil spill, and accused Exxon of pressuring crew members to testify for the captain. But a defense attorney replied in closing arguments that crew members were not the only ones who saw that Hazelwood wasn't impaired aboard the Exxon Valdez when it struck a charted reef a year ago Saturday. Defense attorney Dick Madsen pointed to 21 witnesses at Hazelwood's criminal trial who said the captain was sober and showed no signs of being impaired by alcohol. Assistant District Attorney Brent Cole said it was not necessary to show that Hazelwood looked intoxicated to have been impaired by drink. "The state has to prove he was under the influence of intoxicating liquor," Cole said. He said this did not mean that "a person is stumbling, falling down, and needs support." EXTRAS Daily romps the Review Those on the right side of the campus political fence - especially The Michigan Review - have been bragging that student conservatives are taking over campus. But not so on the volleyball court. Last Saturday, the Daily Libels volleyball team defeated a team from the Review 14-16, 15-13, and 15-10.
