The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 6, 1990 - Page 5 UAC organizes festivities in U nion by Elisabeth Weinstein Daily Staff Writer Michigras - four days of University Activities Center sponsored festivities - kicked off with a bang Wednesday night and the will continue through Saturday night. Michigras will include an ongoing residence halls competition, the Battle of the Bands, the Starbound talent competition Friday night and the Jazz Cafe Saturday night. The festivities will end Saturday night at the Union with the program's most popular events, "Casino night" and "Carnival." Several art exhibits are being featured everyday in the Michigan Union. Walter Griggs, a 1977 University graduate, will do caricatures in the mall of the union for $5 or $10, depending whether the sketch is in color or black and white. Though yesterday was slow - he only received one customer - Grigg's remains optimistic. "This evening things should pick up, especially during the Battle of the Bands." Despite many campus-wide activities this week - including Earth Week, Greek Week and MSA elections - UAC members don't expect less student participation this year than they have seen in the past. Sue Poopate, Michigras chairperson and LSA sophomore, said, "I'm not sure if Michigras was that strong last year. This year, I'd like to see more response" But Michigras chair of two years ago, LSA senior Susan Goldfarb said, "Participation is going up. There should be no problems with Earth Week. If anything (would hinder participation) it would be the weather." Lowell Cantor, UAC presideni and LSA senior, agreed with Goldfarb. "There is generally good participation, though one goal is always to increase participation" Though the entrance fees charged for Michigras events pay for the festival, UAC will donate the funds received from Starbound to the Ronald McDonald House, said Cantor. Like most of UAC sponsored activities, the purpose of Michigras is simply entertainment. "Come out and have fun," said Poopate. *1 I Castro Cuban President Fidel Castro addresses a youth rally Wednesday in Havana.

Police said overnight howitzer aid mortar duels between the rival Christian forces killed two people and wounded three in east Beirut and north of the city before the big guns fell silent at daybreak. -' But sharpshooters of Aoun's army and snipers from Geagea's Le- banese Forces militia continued to skirmish in the 310-square-mile Christian enclave. ' In Moslem west Beirut, President Mias Hrawi said he would heed Geagea's appeal that the president's * 22,000-man, mainly Moslem army 16d by General Emile Lahoud take over army barracks in the enclave. But it was not believed he had the firepower to dislodge Aoun, nor were there any signs that Syria's army in Lebanon would back a foray in the Christian enclave. The inconclusive showdown for mastery of the enclave, normally *home for about 1 million Chris- tians, has killed 841 people and wounded 2,298 since it broke out January 30. Numerous cease-fires have been declared and broken. Police say at least one-fourth of the enclave's population has fled to safer areas in Lebanon and neighbor- ing countries to escape the savage fighting that has inflicted damage es- timated at $1 billion. Geagea and Aoun, in separate statements, said they accepted a cease-fire in line with the plea from 20 Maronite Catholic clergymen who met Wednesday with Partiarch Nasrallah Sfeir at his seat in Bkirki, north of Beirut. In their peace bid, the 16th cease- fire call in the 66-day confrontation, the clergymen told Geagea and Aoun their war threatened the Christians' "very existence in Lebanon.and the Orient." The Maronite clerics said contin- ued fighting between Aoun's 10,000 troops and the 6,000 militiamen of Geagea would "finish off the Chris- tians." "The Christians' fate should not be decided by two guns confronting each other and spreading horror, death and destruction," the clergymen said in their statement, copies of which were delivered to Geagea and Aoun. Aoun, Geagea, Hrawi and Lahoud are Maronites, the main Christian sect that has controlled key govern- ment posts, parliament, the army command and the judiciary since in- dependence from from France in 1943. Aoun has rejected Hrawi's November election as president by Lebanese legislators meeting under Arab League auspices. He complains the peace plan under which Hrawi was elected does not contain a spe- cific timetable for the withdrawal of Syria's 40,000 troops in Lebanon as part of a peacekeeping mandate. Aoun contends the Syrians abrogated that mandate by siding with the Moslems. ELECTIONS Continued from page1 that's for sure. But we don't know how many we're going to have," Kittrie said, adding that, as of 9:30 p.m., ballots were still coming in from the Union and Undergraduate Library polling sites. Candidates had mixed reaction about the heavy voter turnout. Conservative Coalition presiden- tial candidate Aaron Williams felt the extra votes came from publicity generated from Earth Week, which he thought rival Action party leaders used to their advantage. "It was the dirtiest campaign I've ever run in," Williams added. "I've never been called so many names by people who have no right to be casting stones." Action Party presidential candi- date Jennifer Van Valey, one of William's rivals, was very enthusi- astic about the high level of voting. "We worked damned hard to get the vote out, and to reach groups that MSA had traditionally ignored," she said. "I think people were looking for someone who would tell them the truth." About the negative campaigning., Van Valey responded that "it's not dirty politics to talk about a candi= date's record... we need a student government that's accountable, be= cause we sure don't have one now." Final results were not available at press time, but will be in Monday's paper. REA - \ Where to find a Mac at midnight. .. E ® ' 'y ..
