Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 27, 1990 Contras agree to disarm WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department welcomed yester- day an agreement providing for the demobilization of the Nicaraguan Contras and called on the United Na- tions to take steps to ensure the pro- cess is carried out quickly and peace- fully. Under the agreement, reached Fri- day, rebel forces based in Honduras would be disarmed by April 20 while those in Nicaragua would be de- ployed in enclaves protected by in- ternational observers. The agreement also calls for an internationally supervised cease fire in Nicaragua. State Department spokesperson Margaret Tutwiler called the agree- ment historic and congratulated the parties involved, including the Contra leadership, officials of the Nicaraguan Roman Catholic Church and representatives of President-elect Violeta Chamorro, who will take office April 25. "We are pleased that the Sandin- ista government has agreed to coop- erate fully in implementing the ac- cord," Tutwiler added. The agreement is to be guaranteed by the U.N. Observer Force for Cen- tral America (ONUCA) and a sepa- rate commission comprised of U.N. and Organization of American presi- dents. "We would encourage the parties to move forward as rapidly as possi- ble," Tutwiler said. "Towards that end, we urge the United Nations to deploy an enlarged ONUCA force to Nicaragua as rapidly as possible." Left unclear fror. the agreement was the time frame for demobilizing the Contras who are in Nicaragua. Published reports said yesterday that they intend to remain in the enclaves for months after Chamorro's inauguration. Tutwiler had no estimate of the number of Contras inside Nicaragua but President Daniel Ortega has said the total is 4,000 to 6,000. He has said that the Contras plan a big of- fensive shortly before Chamorro's inauguration.

In response to the $3 million al- located in the University's budget for building maintenance, Senator William Sederburg (R-East Lans- ing), chair of the committee, said, "It seems you are picking up in your campus budget what ought to be the responsibility of the state." According to the University's budget proposal, an additional $6 million will be reallocated within the University budget to cover "restoration and new initiatives," in- cluding additional funding for finan- cial aid, undergraduate research op- portunities and the College of Litera- ture, Science, and Arts. The Univer- sity also included a $10 million al- location for "other critical needs," which it would fund as completely as possible. University officials also stressed the need for capital outlay expendi- tures. These expenditures are appro- priated for the construction and reno- vation of buildings. Four capital projects were deter- mined to be critical to the Univer- sity. These include: A renovation of the East Engineering building ($27 million), which would allow the psychology and math departments to be housed there. Construction of the Integrated Technology Center to be built on North Campus ($34 million). This building will contain library facili- ties as well as "innovative design and performance space and equipment to be shared by students and faculty of the four schools and colleges on the North Campus." An addition to the Randall Laboratory ($22 million) to house new research facilities for the Physics department. Renovation of the C.C. Little Building ($15.5 million) to provide additional laboratory areas.

ROSH-1 N t IL BE IARE AT "© Man charged for killing 87 NEW YORK - The man accused of setting the city's worst fire in 79 years to the Happy Land social club was arraigned Monday on 87 counts of murder, and police said he told them "the devil got into me." The families of the 87 victims, most of whom were Honduran or Dominican immigrants, sought solace in their grief, and a government task force was set up to counsel them and help make funeral arrangements. Julio Gonzalez was accused of setting the fire early Sunday with only $1 worth of gasoline after arguing w i) a former girlfriend who worked at the illegal club. He is said to have threatened to "shut this place down." During a hearing at Bronx County Criminal Court, Gonzalez was. charged with 87 counts of murder committed during the course of arson; 87 counts of murder by depraved indifference to human life; one count of attempted murder; and two counts of arson. Honecker, Politburo leaders escape charges of treason EAST BERLIN - Prosecutors said yesterday there were no legal grounds for charging Erich Honecker with high treason, but the deposed Communist leader still was under investigation for corruption and abuse of power. The office of chief prosecutor Hans-Juergen Joseph said two members of Honecker's Politburo -- state security chief Erich Mielke and Guenther Mittag, the economics minister - also would escape treason charges but, like Honecker, were suspected of corruption and misusing their power. Prosecutors had said earlier that the three men would be indicted and put on trial this month for high treason, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Joseph's statement accused Honecker and his lieutenants of "persistent breaches of the constitution." It added, however, that the actions were part of a one-party Stalinist system and suggested treason charges against individuals would be inappropriate. Lawmakers propose new doctor licensing procedures LANSING - Disciplining Michigan's physicians takes so long that doctors suspected of endangering patients continue practicing for as long as two years before their case is completed, lawmakers said yesterday. The House Ad Hoc Committee of Physician Licensure has proposed separating licensure and discipline in the medical field, and having a single discipline board that monitors all medical occupations and 200,000 li- censed health care professionals. Similar to the Liquor Control Commission, the board would include five full-time members of the public appointed by the governor, and two licensees. The committee is recommending the state to set up regional review boards comprised of doctors of the same specialty as the defendant and an attorney. Those regional panels would present their fact-finding to the main discipline board. Gorbachev vows not to use force LITHUANIA - Sen. Edward Kennedy said in Moscow that President Mikhail Gorbachev reiterated his pledge not to use force except to save lives in the Baltic republic, which declared independence March 11. Soviet troops occupied another Communist Party building in Lithuania and an army helicopter yesterday dropped leaflets in the republic's capital, calling for an anti-secession demonstration, reports said. Lithuanian leaders began talks with the Soviet army about their stand- off with Moscow since declaring independence two weeks ago. They dis- agreed over whether the meeting reduced tension. Lithuanian Deputy Premier Romualdas Ozolas, one of two top offi- cials who met two Soviet military officers yesterday, told reporters: "After coming out of this meeting, I can say the mood has changed." "It is evident that the conflict will not be escalated," he said. EXTRAS Broccoli invades White House WASHINGTON - There was broccoli, broccoli everywhere yesterday at the White House - broccoli on the lawn, broccoli in the boutonnieres, and broccoli in the bouquet in Barbara Bush's hand. Everywhere, that is, except on President Bush's plate. And that apparently is how it will stand given the president's adamancy against the vegetable his wife and mother forced him to eat for decades. The broccoli lobby rode the wave of publicity right onto the White House lawn, where hundreds of reporters turned out to watch the broccoli- boosting first lady accept three boxes of the vegetable and a bouquet. That was just the tip of a 10,000-pound avalanche of broccoli Califor- nia growers shipped east to donate to soup kitchens and shelters in the na- tion's capital in a riposte to the president's predilections.

"People are looking for new solu- tions to the city's problems," said Marsh, who is also stressing leader- ship in his campaign. "(Ann Arborites) don't wasn't a laissez-faire manager." he contends. "My election will provide a return to leadership to advocate their con- cerns." Councilmember Mark Ouimet (R-Fourth Ward), Marsh's opponent, thinks his managerial ability is an asset. A senior Vice-President with GreathLakes Bankcorps, Ouimet brought his 18 years of banking ex- perience to the council two years ago. Comments?

Thorp i nn rhnrnm to rein the iirvv In 1988, Ouimet's campaign vic- tory was one of three for Republi- cans that gave the G.O.P. a working majority on the council. Ouimet said he feels his manage- ria. ability has been one of his major contributions to the council. "There was a need to bring an expert to the council that understood the (financial) issues," he said. Trying to stay out of ideological wrangles and rise above council poli- tics, Ouimet said he focuses on solv- ing problems. A member of the city's budget and capital improve- ment committees, Ouimet points to his work which helped erase the city's budget deficit as one of his best achievements. Ouimet said city government in Ann Arbor tends to ignore problems until they get too big. Referring to the current solid. waste crisis - which the city is ask- ing voters for $28 million to solve, Ouimet said, "We need to look for- ward. What's the landfill problem of the year 2000?" Ouimet said one of those poten- tial crises is maintenance of the city's infrastructure - roads, bridges - at a certain level without raising taxes is one of those problems. While Marsh has said that city hall has not done enough to control development of Ann Arbor's remain- ing green spaces, Ouimet believes the main issue concerning develop- mant lire in rnnrina tinit it wth ad- I' EDITORIAL STAFF: Editor in Chief Managing Editor News Editors Opinion Page Editor Asociate Editors Weekend Editors Noah Frnkel Kristine LaLonde Karen Akeot, Marion Davis, Tara Gruzen, Vera Songwe David Schwartz .
