In class, he would use many examples, from male to fe- male each time. He did that with his third-person pronouns (he, she) too. People reacted posJtively to that style and I have begun to use that language style more myself," the student wrote. Carson said the brochure, to be distributed in the fall, will recom- mend the inclusion of women schol- afs on syllabi and the use of gender- neutral language in lectures. The President's Advisory Com- mission on Women's Issues is "completely supportive of this pro- ject and will find the- resources to fund it through various methods," said Shirley Clarkson, commission member and assistant to the presi- dent. MURDER Continued from page 1 "He (Christopher) knew the bouncers," Keel said. "They told him to go outside and start the fight." Both Dooley's and the Ann Arbor Police declined comment Keel's al- legations. Ann Arbor Police Captain Gary Kistka did say, however, that Doo- ley's has been under fire for serving alcohol to minors. "We've historically had a prob- lem with those guys," Kistka said. Keel added she was close to Moore during his high school years at Plymouth-Salem.. "He was not a trouble-maker," she said. "I can't believe he went to a bar and now he's dead." LEADERS Continued from page 1 Sheeren Rothman, a Rackham grad- uate student, and Marc Samuels, an LSA senior, won Individual Achievement Awards.

Those who attended the last Laughtracks of the year last night got the best laughs as they watched the best comedians on campus. Laughtracks featured: Tom Frank, Rich Eisen, John Heffron and Jason Arlington. These students placed the highest in the Certs' U.S. College Competition in January. Frank was the emcee for the evening, and professional comedian Tim Allen was the headliner. Allen appeared in his first Laugh- tracks about five years ago. When asked why he was returning he said, "I don't know. I'm only off for one day and I find myself working." Allen, who just flew in from Los Angeles after completing six con- certs, is due in Philadelphia tomor- row for two more. He has also been in McDonald's ment Award primarily because of her involvement with Recycle U-M. Rothman said her actions "helped bring a positive change by raising consciousness." Berger, LSA senior and another Achievement Award winner, said, "I am very honored. I am excited about great groups receiving recognition as well. I am graduating in two-and-a- half weeks and it is a great feeling to be recognized." A committee of nine faculty members and one Michigan Student Assembly representative selected the students for awards based on three criteria; leadership abilities, quality and quantity of support given to the community, and creativity in im- plementing their ideas, said Terrance Brown, Associate Director of the Comprehensive Studies Program and Selection Committee Chair.

He said he is scheduled for a one hour comedy special to appear on Showtime, which is to be filmed June 8. Frank, the host for the evening, recently went to Daytona beach to participate in the finals of the U.S. College Comedy Competition, where he took first place. Frank's father, who attended the show last night said, "He comes from a long line of people who are funny, or at least think they are." "My dad is very funny, but you really have to know him to under- stand his humor," Frank replied. Kerry Birmingham, chair of Laughtracks, said this year has been incredibly successful for Laugh- tracks. She said Laughtracks moved its shows from every other week to once a week due to the its popular- ity. "The University ought to be able to take action (without proving) the person who did the harassing intended to do it," said Julie Steiner, director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC). "Intent is not the question," she explained. "It's the effect on the harassed. If I gave a hug - even if my intention is to show that I care - if they feel intimidated, it's harassment." But intent is important, Lowenstein said. "You can't enforce a penalty against someone who makes an honest mistake," she said. "That's why there are insanity pleas" for people who are unable to predict the consequences of their actions. Though the main problems dealt with by the advisory committees and the University administration have been those of constitutionality and the proper role of the University in students' lives, the University could face problems administering a finalized policy. Under the interim policy, as in the former policy, students can file complaints at one of seven The Final Hours 15 Locations in Michigan Ann Arbor 24 Hours 540 E.

When Arlington was asked 'I do a lot of stuff on being a kid, because everyone usually was one of them' - John Heffron what makes him one of the best, he responded, "Actually, all of the other guys are sick." "I do a lot of stuff on being a kid, because everyone usually was one of them," said Heffron. University offices or with department chairs and faculty members. The person who receives the complaint is supposed to determine if it falls under the policy or is protected by the First Amendment. In his decision, Cohn criticized the system for leaving the definition of First Amendment rights to people who were often not trained in constitutional law. In the instancesin which action was taken, Cohn found, "The administrator's manner of enforcing the policy was constitutionally indistinguishable from a full-blown prosecution... the policy was never interpreted to reach protected conduct." Once the final policy is implemented, the University will spend more time educating people about the nature of that policy, President Duderstadt said. "The policy which is in place is much narrower and makes the job of (establishing) uniformity much easier," he said. Even if the problems with the policy can be worked out to make it both legal and efficient, the University must establish educational programs to make people aware of how their actions affect others before it can accept a policy, students on the committee said. "A policy is not a cure-all," Van Valey said. The University needs to educate students, faculty and staff about the problems behind harassment and discrimination, she said. Education is the one area students and the administration agree upon. "Education is important," Duderstadt said. No matter the kind of policy the University establishes, he said, it will only be a "last resort." IN BIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports 15 die on Lebanon school bus during faction fighting BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - A rifle-fired grenade slammed into a school bus and exploded during Christian factional fighting yesterday, killing 11 schoolchildren and at least four other people. A police spokesperson said the bus was hit while crossing into Chris- tian east Beirut in the afternoon. It was bringing children back from school in south Beirut. The grenade ignited the fuel tank. "It couldn't be determined who fired the rifle grenade," said the spokesperson, who cannot be named in line with regulations. Gen. Michel Aoun's radio station accused gunners of Samir Geagea's Lebanese forces militia of firing at the bus. But the pro-Geagea Voice of Lebanon radio station called the hit "mysterious." Aoun and Geagea have been involved in a bloody power struggle for control of the 310-square-mile Christian enclave for more than two months. The showdown has killed 892 people and wounded 2,388 since it started Jan. 30. Most victims have been civilians. USSR cuts off Lithuania oil MOSCOW - The Soviet Union yesterday shut off the supply of oil from fhe Russian city of Polotsk to Lithuania's only refinery at approxi- mately 9:30 p.m., imposing part of Mikhail Gorbachev's threatened eco- nomic embargo on the breakaway Baltic republic, Lithuania spokesper- sons said. The official government statement, read by telephone to refinery direc- tor Bronius Vainoras, said: "In accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers, we are halting pumping of crude oil to your refin- ery." Lithuania is entirely dependent on the Soviet Union for all oil and gas, and petroleum products are the Soviet Union's most profitable export. Gorbachev said that unless Lithuania rolled back several laws support- ing the declaration of independence, he would impose an embargo on key supplies to the small Baltic republic of 3.8 million people. Universities attack ROTC gay men and lesbian policy WASHINGTON - Major universities are warning the Pentagon that a military policy barring homosexuals from service is generating pressure to oust ROTC from campuses. "The contradiction between the university's principle of non-discrimi- nation against individuals on the basis of sexual orientation, and the pres- ence of an ROTC that does not discriminate, cannot exist on the cam- puses indefinitely," John M. Deutch, provost of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology said in a letter to Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. The Department of Defense has declined to comment on the campus pressure. February shows smallest trade deficit in six years WASHINGTON - The United States in February recorded its small- est trade deficit in more than six years, a $6.49 billion imbalance that re- flected a sharp drop in oil imports, the government reported yesterday. The Bush administration, which is counting on strong export growth this year to boost a sluggish domestic economy, hailed the dramatic nar- rowing of the deficit. But some private economists cautioned that the improvement could be short-lived, contending that the trimmer deficit came primarily from a huge 20 percent drop in oil imports that's not likely to be sustained. The Commerce Department said February's trade gap was down 30 percent from a $9.32 billion January deficit. It was the best trade showing since December 1983, when the deficit was $5.68 billion. Imports fell by 7.6 percent, to $38.12 billion, while U.S. exports to- taled $31.63 billion, a modest one percent decline from an all-time high for exports set in January. U.S. Court bans child porn in Ohio, other states may follow WASHINGTON - States may make it a crime to possess or look at child pornography, even in one's home, the Supreme Court said yesterday as it imposed new limits on freedom of expression and privacy. Voting 6-3, the justices upheld an Ohio law aimed at stamping out such material by punishing those who buy it, not only those who sell it. Besides Ohio, 18 states already have laws against possessing child pornography. Ohio's law has been described as the nation's toughest. Conservatives cheered the decision, saying it gives states a blueprint for tough legislation. Beverly LaHaye of Concerned Women for America said every state should "take advantage of this decision and immediately begin to crack down on this depraved and contemptible exploitation of children." But Justice William Brennan, in an opinion dissenting from the court ruling, said the law is so vague and so sweeping that it might ban the en- gravings of nude children "that adorn our courtroom."
