WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. economy grew at a faster-than- expected 1.8 percent rate in the third quarter, the government said yester- day, but the report failed to dissuade many analysts who believe the economy is entering a recession. The Commerce Department re- port on the gross national product showed that consumers buying cars and other items had continued to drive the longest peacetime eco- nomic expansion in U.S. history through September. Whether the ex- pansion reaches its eighth anniver- sary in November was a matter of debate. "This release contradicts those who believe we are in a recession or are about to enter one," Commerce Undersecretary Michael R. Darby told reporters. "We expect the econ- omy to continue to expand at a mod- est pace for the remainder of the year and in 1991." "I believe we're in a recession," said economist Bruce Steinberg of Merrill Lynch Capital Markets in New York. "I think that most of the things showing strength in the third quarter will be weak in the fourth, particularly consumer spending." Robert G. Dederick, chief economist for the Northern Trust Co. in Chicago, also believes the economy is declining this quarter. He contended that much of the GNP strength "was concentrated early in the quarter."

MSA elects ERC chair by Julie Foster Daily Staff Reporter The Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) elected engineering sopho- more Bill Cosnowski chair of its External Relations Committee at last night's meeting. Cosnowski was a member of the committee and takes over the posi- tion left vacant by former chair Stephanie Simon, an LSA junior, who resigned Oct. 2 for academic reasons. The ERC lobbies at the state and federal level of government for edu- cational issues such as lower tuition and increased financial aid. ERC Vice Chair Tony Barkow nominated Cosnowski, the only can- didate for the position. "I think it is vital that the person who is chair has had experience, (on the committee)," he said. Cosnowski said he plans to create "an MTS conference between the state legislators and our congres- sional members so students can voice their concerns directly." Both Barkow and Cosnowski said MSA President Jennifer Van Valey neglected the importance of electing a committee chair earlier. "Somehow the (last) meeting had been adjourned before we got to it (the election)," Barkow said. Cosnowski said Van Valey de- layed his election because of ideolog- ical differences between the two. Van Valey denied the allegations. "I think the ERC does good work. It has nothing to do with Bill ideologi- cally. It was an oversight."

Secretary of State James Baker on Saturday will begin a weeklong visit to Arab and European countries to consult on future steps in the gulf, officials said. The visit will include a meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. Asked about the potential for a U.S military strike, White House spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater said; "As these things unfold, of course, there are always scenarios for action that have to be considered...but there is no timetable for action." Fitzwater sought to dampen fears that fighting was imminent. "The attitude at the meeting was "play it down-be calm," he said.

He said "I thought it'd be nice to watch the kids Trick-or-Treating since I'm no longer doing it myself."

"It should be really fun," sai School of Music sophomore Jennifer Fari Ansel. "Everyone, including some of the audience, comes dressed in costumes. Some of the sections are coming as a group. I'm excited to see the flutes in their ZZ Top skit." Yet, amidst the fun, the envi- ronmental concerns of the 1990's ar not forgotten. LSA senior Elizabe Steel said "the weirdest costume At East Quad's Halloween Thang would have to be the guy who came dressed in non-recycable plastic." It must have been a scary sight to behold.
