New student magazine
will disci
by Bonnie Bouman
LSA sophomore Heather Szerlag
looked at the student-run publica-
tions available on campus last year
and decided something was missing.
What was missing was a global
perspective.
Szerlag's brain-child is the
International Observer, a monthly
20-page magazine will hit news
stands by mid November. The
magazine will be distributed free of
charge.
The IO staff hopes to offer readers
an informative, unbiased analysis of
world events and culture.
"It's not liberal, it's not conser-
vative - it's global," Szerlag said.
"We wanted something a little more,
in-depth, more thought-out than
iss global
what's available on campus."
IO's first edition will feature arti-
cles on German reunification, the
Soviet Union, and a cultural study of
Iraq by two students who lived there
last summer. Dave Bernstein, an
LSA junior, will start a column on
what he dubs "attitude satire".
Other possibilities for the publi-
cation include contributions from
foreign universities, editorials, and
articles on world culture.
The staff expects funding from
the Michigan Student Assembly.
They will also depend on advertising
revenue to finance the magazine.
The 10 staff expects its writers
will vary from foreign students and
people who have spent time abroad,
to anyone interested enough in a
views
subject to research it.
Szerlag found it difficult to pin-
point the exact aim of the Interna-
tional Observer, only that it will
fill a gap in an international view-
point on campus. Szerlag said that
even with the University's reputa-
tion as an international university,
students can become isolated in the
academic community and lose sight
of the rest of the world.
"This is a world magazine. Id
like to cover everything, not ju~st
Europe," she said.
"We don't want the World News
Tonight perspective," agreed Envi-
ronmental Editor Chris Bzdok, an
LSA sophomore. "Mouthing the
media is just one level, and we want
more than that."
Iranian kills student during
,"$
hostage stand-off at Berkeley
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - A
gun-carrying "deranged" Iranian man
with a hatred of blond Americans
died in a burst of police bullets yes-
terday, seven hours after he stormed
a bar, killed one man, wounded
seven people and took 33 hostages.
Six officers stormed Henry's
Publick House and Grille in the Du-
rant Hotel after police negotiators
decided they couldn't talk the man
out of the bar, said Lt. Jim Polk.
The man with the gun, identified
by University of California, Berke-
ley, spokesperson Ray Colvig as
Mehrdad Dashti, gave away his posi-
tion inside the bar by using one of
the terrorized hostages as an interme-
diary in talking to police by tele-
phone.
"Every time the hostage would
have to ask a question of this bad
guy, he would have to turn around
and look at him and this gave us a
good idea of where he was," said
Polk.
Seconds after the burst of police
gunfire around 7:20 a.m., hostages,
some of whom had been forced to sit
in the windows of the bar as shields,
ran from the hotel.
Dashti, 30, a native of Iran, was
naked and bleeding when he was
loaded into an ambulance and taken
to Highland Hospital. He was dead
on arrival, according to hospital
spokesperson Phyllis Brown.
"He was apparently very con-
fused," said Berkeley Police Captain
Phil Doran. "Deranged is not a bad
description."
"For some reason, he had some-
thing against blondes, Caucasian
women and blond-haired, blue-eyed
men," said Douglas Moore, 25, a
UC student and manager of the bar
who was one of the hostages. "He
had something against Americans."
"He said (American women were
the) kind of trash that was leading
guys like him on and that they de-
served to be punished.... He did ,i
pretty good job of degrading
women."
Moore said Dashti claimed tce
"government owed him $16 trillion
for mental telepathy work and this
was his way of getting back."

FOR JUNIOR NURSING STUDENTS
WASHINGTON (AP) - Regula-
tors learned yesterday the govern-
ment fund protecting bank accounts
is dwindling faster than thought only
two months ago, and they voted a
1991 increase of more than 60 per-
cent on the deposit insurance premi-
ums charged banks.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp.'s bank fund dropped from
$13.2 billion at the end of last year
to $11.4 billion at the end of June-
a 14 percent decline.
FDIC Chair L. William Seidman
said he now expects that by the end
'of the year the fund will have lost
"closer to $3 billion" rather than the
tion would have to consider a tax-
payer bailout, as they have with the
S&L insurance fund.
After receiving the new financial
report, the five-member FDIC board
raised the insurance premium charged
banks by more than 60 percent.
Banks in 1991 will pay 19.5
cents for every $100 in deposits, up
from 12 cents this year and 8.3 cents
last year. The higher rate will raise
the fund's premium income from
$2.8 billion in 1990 to $4.8 billion
in 1991.
Under last year's S&L bailout
law, the premium had been scheduled
to rise to 15 cents. Regulators began
