HIGGINS Continued from page 1 although he promised Fisher and his parents that he would return to obtain his degree in sports manage- ment and communication. Higgins averaged 14 points per game this season but was saddled with a stress fracture of the left foot midway through the Big Ten season; causing him to miss four games and his starting position. Demetrius Calip moved into the starting lineup with Mike Griffin moving to Higgins' position. Higgins' decision had been wide- ly expected as well as criticized. After Michigan lost to Loyola Mary- mount in the NCAA tournament, Higgins remained in California to discuss his future with his family. He later met with Fisher and notified him of his decisior last week. At Monday night's awards banquet, Fisher talked about each underclassmen's future with the team - except Higgins. Higgins has long spoken about his desire to turn professional. The injury as well as the fact that Michigan would be losing four starters may have contributed to his decision. If Higgins had remained at Mich- igan, he would have become the Wolverines' number one offensive option. Higgins worried that he would often be double or triple teamed with so many inexperienced players surrounding him. Most NBA experts say Higgins could be a first round draft choice if he matured another year in college. Most place Higgins to go some- where in the second round of the two-round NBA draft. However, being drafted is no guarantee that a player will remain on an NBA roster. Already, seven of the 27 players drafted in the second round of last year's NBA draft are not on an NBA roster. In addition, the salary differential from being a first and second round draft pick could result in millions of dollars lost through the lifetime of a contract. His father, Earle Higgins, a former NBA player who starred at Eastern Michigan has disagreed with his son's decision. Pistons General Manager Jack McCloskey told The Detroit News that Higgins' decision is a "drastic mistake" saying Higgins was only a "marginal player." AMNESTY Continued from page 1 Cavassa held a question and an- swer session after the slide show. In regards to outrages against his orga- nization by Sendero Luminoso or the military, Cavassa said, "Sendero told us they don't like us - some threats. The military are not enjoy- ing us but no threats. The army just attacks peasants." Cavassa said the most effective pressure to release political prisoners was "the kind of pressure Amnesty International is doing- write to the President and to the Prime Minister for disappeared people." Cavassa said the North American public can help change the current situation in Peru by becoming aware of the situation in the country. "It is very important to have these discussions, to always be obser- vant...( then ) scream and protest to change certain United States foreign policies." Amnesty International member Richard Hughes, an Engineering graduate student, characterized Cavassa's approach as "one of the most even handed human rights talks. Very, very impressive." After the discussion members of Amnesty International held an all night vigil to honor Peruvian desa- parecidos ( an emotive Spanish term which means disappeared ones). Vigil activities included singing songs and reading poetry. Amnesty members will occupy the "jail" today and will be seeking more signatures said Stubblefield. BORDER Continued from, page 1 "The Lithuanian people are a wise people," he said, and will real- ize that Lithuania "needs indepen- dence, but within the framework" of the Soviet Union. At the White House yesterday President Bush met with 13 Baltic- Americans who represented the inter- ests of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. The Baltic-American leaders asked that the U.S. recognize the renegade government in Lithuania but Bush declined. He said that he supports the Lithuanians' struggle for indepen- dence but voiced concern about the impact on the Soviet Union. White House press secretary Mar- lin Fitzwater said Bush told the group "the U.S. must avoid taking actions that would inadvertently make LIthuania's task more difficult by inflaming the situation" and stressed the importance of quiet diplomacy. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Doctors test more for profit Boston - Doctors at the nation's largest chain of walk-in clinics per- formed about 20 percent more tests and X-rays after the owners began let- ting them keep part of the fees their patients paid, a study found. The study found that doctors subjected their patients to more tests and other care when they personally profited from the extra care. The study implied that whether or not a sick person receives a test or a procedure can depend on what the doctor makes, rather than strictly what the patient needs. While this conflict of interest may influence care at many levels of medicine, the latest study focused on storefront walk-in clinics, which often pay their doctors a percentage of their patients' total bills. About 4,000 walk-in clinics have sprung up in suburban shopping strips and in downtown business districts during the past decade. Germany negotiates unity in face of economic hardships EAST BERLIN - Farmers vowed to drive their tractors through East Berlin, and telephone workers yesterday called a strike, as East Germany's new leaders tried to find a fair formula for unity with West Germany. An economic institute predicted 1.5 billion East Germans would be out of work in five years unless the country saw a spurt of growth after merging with its wealthy western neighbor. According to official figures, about 70,000 East Germans are unemployed now. Major political parties said yesterday they were close to agreeing on a blueprint for East Germany's economic and social future. Prime Minister designate Lother de Maiziere, the conservative Christian Democrat leader, held more talks with Social Democrats on ways to dismantle the nation's four-decade-old socialist system. Social Democrats want to retain a safety net of social programs to ease the withdrawal pains of East Germans dependent on heavy subsidies. All sides indicated they were near an agreement that likely would include some compromises on phasing out the socialist system. France denies paying Libya ransom to free 3 hostages PARIS - France rejected mounting criticism yesterday that it went too far in praising Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Gadhafi for helping free three hostages, and it denied paying a ransom of three warplanes for their release. A newspaper reported that the Libyan navy was the real abductor of the French and Belgians seized in November 1987 off the coast of the Israeli- occupied Gaza Strip. It said France bargained both with Libya and a group led by terrorist Abu Nidal. The government insisted it did not bargain with terrorists. But detrac- tors made little distinction between Gadhafi and Abu Nidal's Fatah-Revo- lutionary Council, a Palestinian terrorist group Gadhafi has supported. The hostages were held in Lebanon, not Libya as widely believed, hostage Jacqueline Valente's brother-in-law, Andre Metral, said at a news conference. He said the freed hostages had been treated well by their cap- tors. 1,500 honor AIDS victim 0. : The other fugitive, former WVU truck and field standout Melran Leach, has not been seen since he fled Morgantown on the morning of the raid.

BE THERE"' INDIANAPOLIS - More than 1,500 friends and admirers, including first lady Barbara Bush and singer Michael Jackson, bid farewell yesterday to Ryan White, the young AIDS victim who taught the nation a lesson in courage. Ryan's mother, Jeanne, sat with her 16-year-old daughter, Andrea, and Jackson, who had befriended Ryan. Ryan's father, Wayne, who is divorced from Mrs. White, also attended. Singer Elton John, who had maintained a bedside vigil during Ryan's final week of life, led the congregation in singing a hymn, then accompa- nied himself as he sang his own composition, "Skyline Pigeon." Rev. Raymond Probasco noted thatsmany celebrities had befriended Ryan during his struggle with AIDS and his legal battle to attend public school. He said Ryan's life, like theirs, also was successful. "He helped us to care and to believe that with God's help, nothing is impossible, even for a kid." EXTRAS Comerica goes Krogering DETROIT (AP) - Customers at six Detroit area grocery stores can get greens or greenbacks at the same location in a banking experiment by Comerica Inc. The bank-holding company has opened full-service branches in six Kroger stores since last summer and plans to open three more this year. Vice President Gary Laidlaw said the idea's time has come. "I've been in the business long enough so I remember when ATMs were a kind of dream for years, but then all of a sudden the time was right and ATMs spread like wildfire," Laidlaw said. "I think this will follow the same pattern." Eight percent of 250 banks in a recent nationwide survey said they planned to put branches in supermarkets this year, said Colleen Jamison, market research expert for Sheshunoff & Co. of Austin, Texas. Comerica apparently was the only one in Michigan. The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
