"I wonder why they were deputized first and then trained. If the University had been concerned about the training, they would've checked the officers' 'sensitivity' before deputizing them." "To distinguish between the University rhetoric and what had ac- tually been going on is difficult," said Mark Buchan, a member of the Students' Rights Commission. "It's deceitful, but I can't say I'm sur- prised," said the second-year Rackham student. Students cite many incidents which trace the University's refusal to release information on the depu- tized officers' status. At an information session on campus security October 11, atten- dants attest that Associate Vice President for Business Operations Bill Krumm said the University had not begun deputizing officers. By this date, eight Department of Public Safety and Security officers had already been selected and depu- tized. However, yesterday Krumm de- nied telling students the University was not deputizing officers. "I did not say that. We started deputizing officers in August. We've deputized eight officers at this point in time," Krumm said. Buchan accused Krumm of lying at the forum. "He said it was still in the recruiting stage and they were going to conduct a nationwide search for the officers," said Buchan. Sgt. Vernon Baisden of the DPSS Crime Prevention .. and Community Relations Department did not deny in mid-October that eight officers had been deputized, but reserved comment on the issue. He later acknowledged their authoriza- tion. The officers' training is another issue of contention. The University reported in the Oct. 22 issue of The University Record that DPSS had been training the officers since Oct. 1. Prior to the release, however, Baisden told The Daily, "We've just about completed the process. We're now working on choosing people." Baisden later said he had not been authorized to report the information on officers' training. Phone calls to DPSS trainees were not returned or were referred to Baisden, who said it was not possi- ble to interview them. Associate Vice President for Governmental Relations Virginia Nordby said there is no public inter- est, in the police officers' back- grounds. "(There) has been no specific in- cident or event involving any of these officers which might create a public interest in knowing that offi- cer's employment record, discipline history, medical records or traini experiences," she said in a lettw denying a request for information under the state's Freedom of Information Act. The eight officers were formerly University security officers. They have all received college degress and have fulfilled the necessary police academy training required by the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council, Baisden said. DPSS has already received 115 applications, many from out of state, for the next group of six offi- cers, who will begin training in January, he said. "The University of Michigan has a fine reputation for not only academics but also for em- ployment." he added. All security officers applying to be deputized are subject to an inte, view panel made up of a representa- tive from University personnel, a member of the DPSS command staff, and a member of a minority group or a female. _ Weekend columnist applications are due Monday.

"This is probably going to go up or down all evening," he said shortly after 7 p.m. The DC-9, Flight 1482 to Pittsburgh, was carrying 39 passen- gers and four crewmembers, accord- ing to the airline. The 727, Flight 299 to Memphis, was carrying 146 passengers. Both flights had originated in Detroit, according to Patrick McCann, a Northwest spokesperson at its headquarters in Eagan, Minn. "Apparently the right wing of the 727 hit the aft section, the engine, of the DC-9, taking the engine off," said Alan Muncaster, another Northwest spokesperson. "That re- sulted in the fire. That, at this point, is all we know." At the time of the crash, visibility was poor and the ground was wet from a morning snow and sleet storm that delayed flights at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Muncaster said the airport had been closed to inbound traffic but that planes were being allowed to take off. Tony Dresden, a spokesperson for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said there was about a quarter-mile visibility in the air, but only about 800 feet on the ground. "We've had some discussions with our people out there," Dresden said. "The DC-9 pilot became lost on the runways. The pilot gave the ground controller erroneous informa- tion about his position and turned right onto the runway where the 727 was taxing. "The DC-9 pilot discovered at the very last moment where he was, and so the ground controller told him to immediately get off that runway, but it was too late." He stressed that his information was preliminary. The Federal Avintinn Adiministratin which su- ticipates a budgetary short fall in the parking system fund, and approved the installation of the new parking meters to help raise revenues. The shortfall is due to repair and mainte@ nance costs and revenue shortfalls for city parking structures. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were be- ing dispatched to begin a probe aimed at determining the cause of the accident, a safety board spokesperson said. The 727 did not appear to hav been seriously damaged in th collision. At Annapolis Hospital in Wayne, seven passengers were in stable con- dition and one in critical condition, spokesperson Pat O'Dowd said. TwQ of the victims at that hospital were transferred to the University of Michigan Medical Center Burn Center at Ann Arbor. At least two of the people taken to Annapolis were Northwest em- ployees, O'Dowd said. Four people were in stable condi- tion at Heritage Hoospital in Taylor, spokesperson Barbara Nicholson said. None of their injuries were burns. Muncaster said surviving passen- gers were taken to the airport Marriot hotel. A family center was opened at a Ramada Inn about a mile from the scene. with earlier administration pro- nouncements. As recently as Oct. 15, Cheney himself had said the opposite. He said yesterday that lengthy re- liance on sanctions would cede tv Saddam the ability to determine fu- ture events. "Such a policy would give Hussein breathing space" during which he could augment his army, Cheney contended. "It is far better for us to deal with him now ... than it will be for us to deal with him five or 10 years from now, when the members of the coalition have gone their disparate ways and when Saddam has become an even better armed and more threatening regional superpower than he is at present," Cheney said. j..

The sky is falling and the only option is war." . Cheney spelled out in detail the U.S. position that American and in- ternational interests are in jeopardy in the gulf crisis, contending that Saddam might gain a stranglehold on oil, that he is destroying Kuwait and that his continued military buildup could mean further aggression.
