The defunct political group Citizens for Good Government, $300. Dora Fuller, who served as its treasurer, said of the late filing: "It was a pure mistake. It was uninten- tional. We never once got a bill from (the county)." Former County Commis- sioner Margaret Kuebler, $300. Kuebler could not be reached for comment. Ann Arbor Republican Women's Club Committee, $170. Former committee treasurer Virginia Walker said she never re- ceived any information about the overdue fee. Former County Commis- sioner Catherine McClary, $70. McClary could not be reached for comment. m County Commissioner candi- date David Van Havermaat, $20. Van Havermaat could not be reached for comment. Michigan law says fees that re- main unpaid for more than 60 days should be collected by the county treasurer "in the same manner as other county debts are collected." Byrne said he has not transferred any of these files to the county trea- surer because the treasurer cannot enforce the fines. "I haven't forwarded any more (files), because the last ones I for- warded, nothing happened," he said. County Treasurer Mike Stimson said late fees do not qualify as a spe- cial assessment, and the county therefore cannot enforce them through property tax liens. And Stimson said he did not forward any previous cases to the county's prosecuting attorney be- cause of its workload.. "The reality is they're far ... bus- ier dealing with rapes and armed robberies and murders, that they don't have the time," he said. "Obviously it's a matter of prior- ity. So enforcement is difficult at best." The county prosecuting attor- ney's office, which has 21 assistant prosecutors in addition to Prosecuting Attorney William Delhey, reviewed 9,259 criminal counts in 1990 - about 36 per day. Despite the caseload, Delhey said the office would investigate late fees if it received notice of them. "If they were turned over here, we'd check into them," he said, but added that they might not be a "high priority." "We'd look into it and decide what to do, whether it needs further investigation or prosecution as criminal or prosecution as civil. Again, it depends what's pre- sented," he said. Rebel soldiers arrest Haitian president in ii*tary coup d etat 0 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was arrested yesterday af- ternoon by rebel soldiers at the National Palace, the foreign minis- ter said. The daylong uprising has claimed at least 26 lives. "The president and his staff have been arrested and taken to the army headquarters," said the foreign min- ister, Jean-Robert Sabalat. He told The Associated Press that the gov- ernment was negotiating "to at least save the president's life." Sabalat said a loyal captain was killed when the rebels took over the National Palace about 5:30 p.m. EDT. Rebel soldiers opened fire on Aristide's home early yesterday and several hours later attacked a mili- tary convoy that was taking him and the French ambassador to the National Palace. Neither Aristide nor the ambassador, Jean-Rafael Dufour, was injured, according to government sources. Among those killed during the unrest was Sylvio Claude, an. evan- gelical preacher and two-time presi. dential candidate. By nightfall, a presidential ad- viser, overheard on a radio frequency used by the military, government and embassies, spoke of loyalist soldiers deserting and hostile units moving onto the grounds of the National Palace. A government minister, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, "We're in serious trouble." Hours after word surfaced in Miami's Little Haiti section of the capture of Aristide, protests broke out on city streets. Demonstrators threw an American flag, furniture, tires and other debris into burning mounds in the street. Gasoline was poured on a patrol car and it was set ablaze, said Miami police spokesperson David Banks. Aristide, a hugely popular 38- year-old Roman Catholic priest, was at home with aides and a body- guard at the time of the early morn- ing attack, the government said. KERREY Continued from page 1 that business as usual - the pre- scription of the '80s - cannot work for our future," Kerrey said. In a speech punctuated by ap- plause and wild cheers from a crowd of nearly 3,000, Kerrey offered few specifics on what he would do if elected. But he said "1992 offers us a chance to break from a decade in which our leaders invited a season of cynicism." His priorities include lowering the national debt to reduce the bur- den on future generations, improv- ing education, reforming the health care system, fighting barriers to U.S. trade with other nations and promoting human rights around the world. The first-term senator is the fourth candidate to enter the Democratic field. He joins former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas, Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton is ex- pected to join Thursday. Kerrey kicks off his campaign with a 12-day swing that includes stops in Colorado, Iowa, South Dakota and Illinois in the next four days and then a week in New Hampshire.

LIBRARIES Continued from page 1 MSA Continued from page 1 cization of the recognition process. "I don't think the politics is impor- tant to the actual recognition, but the space allocation shall always be a problem politically," he said. "There's only so much space to go around, and people have to make their decision somehow. "I think that's always been po- litical. I don't think that will stop. The only thing that concerns me is that it is behind closed doors." Former MSA President Jennifer Van Valey said the assembly should keep the clauses so that people who felt discriminated against would have a recourse. "I don't think the right thing to do is to hide your head in the sand and eliminate the discrimination clauses," she said. "I think they're really shunning their responsibil- ity." past. The budget has also forced the library to shuffle money in order to keep the rate of new acquisitions steady, Riggs said. For example, the personnel budget has been reduced, leaving some positions unfilled. Riggs said if the library has to give up 2 percent of its budget, or about $425,000, University students would feel the effect. Vacant posi- tions would remain unfilled, slow- ing down the processing of books. Fewer books would be purchased and students would be working in locations usually staffed by profes- sional librarians, affecting service to students. Riggs said reduction inalibrary hours is also a possibility. Funding problems are also af- fecting service at libraries on other state-school campuses. The library system at Michigan State is facing shortfalls in its new- material acquisition budget, said Cliff Haka, assistant director for administrative services at MSU. "We will cancel some journal subscriptions and we will buy fewer books," he said. "When it hits a researcher in that particular area, it can be devastating, particularly to a Ph.D. candidate." Haka said MSU is expecting up to a 3 percent funding callback from the state. Haka said the library sys- tem would have to take money away from personnel and equipment bud- gets and cut hours. "There is a chance we would close one of our branch libraries," he said. Peter Spyers-Duran, dean of li- braries at Wayne State University, said his department has already submitted a plan to handle a 2 to 3 percent budget shortfall. Some of the actions included in the plan are reducing equipment purchases and delaying new hires. 1 But Spyers-Duran said reducing library hours- is an ineffective method of lowering costs. "I'm wondering if that saves enough money," he said. "There are. perhaps other measures that are more meaningful in saving dollars that make a less dramatic public statement." 0 Want to Know Where Your Liberal Arts Degree Can Lad Your bachelor's degree, combined with a Master's from the Annenberg School for Communication, can take you into a management career in mass media, telecommunications, public policy, corporate communication, and more.

Rosenthal was not surprised that the Consumer Bankers Association was opposed to the program. "Let's remember banks were pushing for the program when they were involved," he said. "Of course they are opposed to it now that they are no longer direct beneficiaries of student loans." Tom Butts, director of the Uni- versity's Washington', D.C. office, said the direct student-loan program will save money. "A report released by the Gen- eral Accounting Office showed how the direct loan program could sim- plify the loan process and reduce costs by eliminating several finan- cial intermediaries,"Butts said. Stacey Leyton, vice-president of the U.S. Student Association, a stu- dent lobbying group, said the direct student-loan program will simplify, the loan process. 'This program would have a severe adverse impact on ... students and schools' - Lawrence Hough Student Loan Marketing Association President "It would make it easier for stu-, dents to apply for aid and to receive it," she said. "It would also limit the origination fee put on all stu- dent aid applications."
