"In a way it does help us. There's less for us to worry about since we don't have to have someone checking IDs for the party. And I do under- stand the need for safety. "But the negative side is the way the security guards treat people on the way in, and the way it looks, be- cause people don't want to go into a building where they feel like they're under constant surveil- lance," Green said Green said representatives of the BGA had spoken to the Union man- agement and the Administration about making some changes in the policy. He said even minor changes like having the security guards at the door wear jackets instead of uni- forms and replacing the table block- ing the door with an easel would greatly improve the atmosphere. "If they looked more like hosts, people wouldn't mind it so much as when they look like military pa- trol," he said. Cianciola agreed that the policy had negative aspects and said he hoped to iron these out. He said he submitted the dress proposal to se- curity and has received a positive re- sponse. Another complaint against the policy is that it had been unequally enforced. Tom Oko, president of the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO), said that group stopped us- ing the Union after its members saw unequal enforcement of the new policy. "We had an event the same night as the BGA and we noticed that many of our members could get in without having their IDs checked, while most of the people there for the BGA function did have them checked," he said. Oko said GEO opposed the policy at its subsequent membership meet- ing, and that the organization doesn't plan to change its position until the Union drops the new pol- icy. "We don't like the idea in the first place and we don't like the un- equal treatment in the second place," he said. Cianciola said this was simply not true. rule.

"There's general agreement around the country and certainly in the Senate that the present process is not fair," Bush said, a day after Thomas' confirmation to the Supreme Court, by two votes to spare, ended one of the most bitter and inflammatory nomination bat- tles ever. Officials said he may visit the White House this week to take an oath to uphold the Constitution. He must take a second, judicial oath, probably Monday morning at the court. Bush said he would present his ideas on changing the process fairly soon. "I owe the people my observa- tions and more importantly some suggestions to improve the pro- cess," Bush said. "We need to strengthen the ad- vice, as well as the consent process," said Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.). "When senators have legitimate concerns about nominees, the president must take those concerns seriously, not simply take the position that each nominee warrants unqualified sup- port for political reasons." "Very little advice on this nom- inee was sought by the White House, and that's why they got very little consent," Sen. John Breaux (D-La.) said. "I think we have to im- prove both ends of those processes in order to improve the system." Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.) intro- duced a non-binding "sense of the Senate" resolution saying that the president should conduct informal, bipartisan consultations with some members of the Senate before mak- ing future selections. It urges that the president "keep philosophical balance in mind" in deciding on the next nominee. Simon, a member of the Judiciary Committee that conducted three days of public hearings into the de- tails of the sexual harassment charges against Thomas, said the panel should have had "harder ques- tions" for the nominee.

Ritter said that, "through the cathedral, the people are getting jobs which they haven't had in a long time." But protesters countered that the jobs would be gone when the cathedral was finished and more money would be needed for the building's upkeep.

A neighboring resident who re- quested anonymity said she "knew there was going to be a problem when (Ilene) first moved in. Three weeks later (Joseph) showed up with a tether on his ankle like he had just been let out of prison." The neighbor noticed obvious problems between the two. "She was petrified of him and threw him out of here a few times. I think there was a problem with drugs. There were cars coming and going at all hours of the night," she said. However, the neighbor said she believes that Ilene "was a good mother to Philip. She had gone through a lot of grief with him." Residents of the subdivision have been forced to come to terms with the child's death. The neighbor said that one resident heard the murder through a wall she shared with Ilene. "She's been sick all day," she said. Other children in the subdivision have suffered as well. "A lot of lit- tle kids are very emotionally upset. They played with him," the neigh- bor said. 0 dbe A idiianNailg The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students atthe University of Michigan.
