The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 14, 990 - Page 3 City intensifies war against drug and alcohol abuse ' y Donna Woodwell aily City Reporter of businesses for liquor licence vio- Council Monday night. The report I is The national "drug war" has in- tensified in Ann Arbor. ' The city police department has declared new measures against drug and alcohol abuse - including more patrols for noisy parties near campus - while a City Council-appointed tssk force proposed hiring a city of- ficial to coordinate Ann Arbor's anti- g and alcohol abuse programs. Acting Police Chief William Hoover said enforcing substance aliuse laws will be the "number one pViority" of the police force in the cdming year. He included cracking a6wn on driving while intoxicated ({WI) arrests, increasing the noisy Party patrol, and closer monitoring lations. Ann Arbor Police Captain Paul Bunten said education will still take priority over these and other law en- forcement efforts. "Our focus will definitely be on education programs in the schools and in the commu- nity," Bunten said. The Anti-Substance Abuse Task Force report proposes the appoint- ment of a city coordinator to lobby for government funds, study drug abuse prevention strategies in other parts of the country, and to coordi- nate education efforts in Ann Arbor. The task force presented their fi- nal report to the Ann Arbor City the result of a 30-month study on drug and alcohol abuse in Ann Ar- bor. The task force, which the city council established in 1988, is made up of 12 Ann Arbor residents, public school employees, city and health officials. Although the City Council ac- cepted the report by a vote of 7-4, the task force's recommendations may not be implemented. Council members will take the next few weeks to study the report before any decisions are made concerning its recommendations. .Wiesel to become first recipient of Raoul by Annabel Vered Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Boston University professor Elie Wiesel will be awarded the first Raoul Wallenberg Medal by Univer- Sity President James Duderstadt at 'Will Auditorium Tuesday. ' Wiesel will also deliver a lecture entitled "The Passion For Memory." The award - which is named for University alumnus Raoul Wallen- berg, class of '35 - is given in recognition of unmatched courage, s4lf-sacrifice in the protection of the persecuted, integrity of the human spirit, and the ability to reach out to the powerless, said Vi Benner, Coor- dinator of International Activities at Rackham. As a Swedish diplomat during World War II, Wallenberg led an ef- fort in Hungary to save the lives of Hungarian Jews by issuing Swedish passports to them. The Nazis would have been in violation of diplomatic conventions if they arrested citizens from a neutral country such as Swe- &en. allenberg Arrested by the Soviets near the end of World War II, Wallenberg has never been heard from again. "Wallenberg was a larger than life figure," Benner said. "He was very much a person of the world with in- credible courage. He started a legacy that can be perpetuated by other peo- ple." "Wiesel's writings and work per- petuate Wallenberg's own extraordi- nary accomplishments and human values," said Susan Lipschutz, se- nior Associate Dean of the Graduate School and chair of the Wallenberg Lecturer Selection Committee. This makes him, "an especially fitting choice as the first Wallenberg medal- ist and lecturer." An active defender of human rights and world peace, Wiesel has supported such varied causes as So- viet Jewry and Ethiopia's famine- stricken population. Wiesel is a survivor of the Nazi concentration camps of Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buchenwald. On the day the S.S. -- Hitler's elite guard Medal - planned to kill Wiesel, Allied forces liberated Buchenwald, the camp then containing him. Wiesel has written about his ex- periences in more than 30 books, winning him numerous literary awards. His latest, "From the Kingdom of Memory" is a book of reminiscences, with a collection of essays and speeches. Wiesel's appearance is sponsored by the University, the Hillel Foun- dation and the Jewish Community Center of Ann Arbor. It serves as a benefit for the Celebration of Jewish Arts. Hillel's program director, Michelle Blumenberg, said, "It is the ninth year of this year-long series run out of Hillel that attempts to bring in artists, writers and perform- ers - especially Jewish ones." LSA senior Jennifer Cohen plans to attend the lecture. "You hear him talk and you hear about his ex- periences. It reminds you how peo- ple should treat others and how they themselves deserve to be treated." ANTHONY M. CROLUDay Ann Arbor resident Carl Bruton challenges the preaching of evangelist Dr. Hubert Lindsey. Visiting preacher's remarks stirreligious debate on Diag by Matt Pulliam A blind, 76-year-old preacher from Birmingham, Michigan cap- tured the attention of lunchtime Diag pedestrians with a fiery lecture condemning Christians, Jews, and Moslems yesterday. Dr. Hubert Lindsey, of the non- denominational Church of Birm- ingham, promoted teachings which provoked heated debate. By claim- ing that organized religion is not ef- fective and that most students should expect an afterlife in Hell, "Hubert" alienated much of his multicultural audience. Attacks on the shortcomings of all major religions highlighted Lindsey's lectures. His blunt com- ments provoked some students into angry defense of their religions. LSA first-year student Mark Leuchter responded to Lindsey's at- tacks on "law-breaking Jews", say- ing, "Until there is understanding among religions there is a problem. This man believes he is right, and I respect that, but at the same time he is insensitive and intolerant to opposing views." Ann Arbor resident Carl Bruton angrily denounced Hubert and his preaching. Addressing Lindsey's remarks about alcohol consumption and the armed forces, Bruton said, "I believe in the kingdom of Heaven and all that, but I disagree with their (Lindsey and assistant Dr. Jim Elsman, Jr.) self-righteous condem- nation of everyone." Capital gains stall budget talks State House panel approves measure for abortion rights LANSING (AP) - A House panel approved an abortion rights protection bill yesterday, less than a '4@week after anti-abortion forces won a major victory in the Legislature with passage of a parental consent mea- s~jre. . The House Judiciary Committee passed the bill on a 10-6 vote and sent it on to the full House. The short bill says simply that Michigan wpn't have any laws forcing women to carry out or end a pregnancy. "The bottom line is no govern- Oient intrusion and who should make the really critical decision of whether o; not to complete or terminate the pregnancy. We feel it's not the gov- ernment," said its sponsor, Rep. Maxine Berman (D-Southfield). "That's all this says and that's all we've ever wanted. What we're say- ing is get off the backs of the public and get on with more important work of state government that in- *truding on the most private decision that people make in their lives." - The staunchly pro-choice law- niaker admitted she didn't have the votes in the House to gain passage of the bill. She said she wanted to use the bill to make sure everyone knew Right to Life of Michigan would continue to chip away at abor- tion rights. Barbara Listing, president of Right to Life of Michigan, said the goals of the group never had been a secret. "I think everyone realizes what Right to Life is all about and that's to restore protection to the unborn child." "She realizes just as everyone else does that the bill is not going to go any place. I think she is really using this as an organizing tool," Listing said. "I really have to take my hat off to Maxine. She is clever in finding ways of grabbing the headlines." Listing said her group will go on working at the grass roots level and try to pass laws to reduce the num- bers of abortions. WASHINGTON (AP) - Demo- cratic congressional leaders today blamed the Bush administration's demand to slash the capital gains tax for the breakdown of budget talks two weeks from the start of the new fiscal year. But President Bush, asked if capi- tal gains was the stumbling block, told reporters, "not as far as I'm con- cerned." Bush said he talked with his budget negotiators today and "we're going back. We're staying with it. I can't really predict what's going to happen. "The problem is the insistence of the administration to reduce the capi- tal gains tax," House Speaker Thomas Foley (D-Wash.) told re- porters. "The real difficulty and the major obstacle to agreement is the tax is- sue," said Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell (D-Maine). "The rest would come together quickly." Participants said they still hoped to work out a budget deal, but it was unclear how quickly they could do so. Congressional leaders planned to meet in the Capitol today with top administration officials to discuss the impasse. "It's not total gridlock," said Fo- ley.
