Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, November 26, 1991 MIDEAST Continued from page 1 kind," he said upon his return to Is- rael on Sunday. S.yria held back its reply amid re- ports it would insist as a precondi- tion that Israel agree to consider in the negotiations a withdrawal from the Golan Heights, the disputed ter- ritory Israeli forces occupied in the 1967 Six-Day War. Spokeswoman Tutwiler said "myself and others here are puz- zled" by accusations of mistreat- ment from Israel officials. She said while Washington was not the first choice of any of the parties, holding the talks in the cap- ital had been discussed over several months with Israeli officials. Baker's spokesperson said the deadline for a decision had been de- 'There is no crisis of confidence' - Yitzhak Shamir layed several times. On one occasion the delay was in response to a re- quest last Tuesday by Zalman Shoval, the Israeli ambassador. Besides, Tutwiler said, Baker waited a week longer than origi- nally planned in selecting a time and place after the Arabs and Israel were unable to decide on their own. Indicating the deadline would be pushed back for a few days, Tutwiler said, "Our deadline was merely a deadline for planning pur- poses. We do have an obligation to have facilities, to have security, to have people met at the airport, et cetera. So it was in our best estimate a date that would help us do a good job of facilitating these delegates or negotiators when they come here. So if the deadline comes and goes, it come and goes." SOVIET Continued from page 1 people, the Ukraine is an agricul- tural and industrial power, and Gorbachev has said a union without it was "unthinkable." Several changes are to be made in the Union Treaty before it is sent to the legislatures, Gorbachev said. He did not spell out the revi- sions. The treaty would limit the Kremlin's role to foreign affairs, strategic nuclear arms, and coordi- nation of economic policy. It also would establish a five-year, di- rectly elected national presidency and an independent judiciary and would let the republics introduce their own currencies. Part of yesterday's debate ap- parently centered on whether the new union would be a real nation or merely an association similar to the European Community. Gor- bachev said it was agreed to keep it as a "confederated democratic state." Participating in the session were Russian President Boris Yeltsin and the leaders or top offi- cials of the republics of Kaza- khstan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenia, Kirgizia, and Byelorus- sia. Absent were the Ukraine, Moldavia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia.

Tell Us What You Think Send your letters to: The Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 II POLICY Continued from page 1 made a lot of fraternities vote yes."~ Among those who supported the new version of the plan was Bill Lewis, previously the plan'sbmost vocal opponent. Lewis, a member of Chi Psi fraternity, described the old policy last week as, "The first step in breaking the autonomy of individual fraternities." Despite the committee approval, there is still a great deal of speculation about whether the policy will pass. Liam Caffrey, the Delta Kappa Epsilon representative on the committee, voted against the plan. "I still don't feel that this policy represents the majority of Greeks. Out of those that were present, about five houses voted 'no,' but there were a lot that weren't present who obviously don't support the plan," Caffrey said. Caffrey said the new compromise does not guarantee the proposal's success. "Before, the SRC compromise the plan was doomed to fail, but chances are still pretty slim. Either way, it's going to be one hell of a fight," he said. One issue Caffrey cited as important to fraternities which opposedgthe new proposal was its handling by the committee's leaders. He described the policy as being "railroaded through" by "scare tactics" such as National Interfraternity Council (NIC) threats. The NIC has named the University a "target campus," and will send representatives this winter to observe the Greek system out of concern that problems exist. The bylaws of the NIC specifically state that the body "shall not make laws that infringe on the autonomy of individual chapter organizations." MERRILL LYNCH & CO.

"(Women's feeling of vulnera- bility) always seemed curious to me because I could go out for walks at three in the morning," Poulson said. "It is difficult to get used to. Now when I go out at night I have to think twice, but I am not faced with nearly the same threat as women." SAVINGS ON BIG JOBS FOR ALL CLUBS, BUSINESSES, AND ORGANIZATIONS. PRINTING CENTER 401 E. HURON ST. 769-0560 Roberts said that while the cur- few would obviously not stop rapes altogether, the proposal has shocked some people into realizing the ap- proaches taken so far have not worked. "We need to quit arming women to the teeth," Roberts said. VOICE members said although escort services and rape prevention seminars are made available to women, these "solutions" go against the group's main point, which questions why women should have to live any differently than men. Administration officials said they believe a male curfew could potentially cause more problems, rather than prevent them. "It is generally not men on cam- pus that are causing the problem. To prohibit men on campus one night a week would be a heyday for attack- ers," Richards said. "All-female campuses are not safe, so prohibiting men from campus would not be effective." Poulson said he does not feel the administration is doing a good job of handling the problem of sexual assaults on campus. "The administration here is a complete joke. They try so hard to maintain an image that doesn't ex- ist," Poulson said. "The university is entirely image-oriented with no character or substance." Kata Issari, a counselor at the University's Sexual Assault Pre- vention and Awareness Center, said she does not believe the curfew is an effective tool for preventing rape. "Rape is not an issue of where men are, but an issue of what they choose to do with their power," she said. "Rape will not stop happening when we use gimmicks, but when men stop raping." CONGRESS Continued from page 1 dismantle as many as 15,000 tacti- cal nuclear weapons over several years. The weapons include nuclear mines, artillery shells, bombs and short-range missile warheads that President Mikhail Gorbachev has promised to destroy. That promise is similar to a pledge by President Bush to get rid of tactical nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal.' The aid measure was a pared- down version of a $1 billion Soviet aid package that was withdrawn less than two weeks ago after it ran into a tide of anti-foreign aid feel- ing in Congress. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R- Wyo.)objected to "asking the U.S. taxpayers to pay for dismantling the very weapons that were con- structed to destroy them." Senate Intelligence Committee Chair David Boren (D-Okla.) said without intervention, "there is a genuine threat of the proliferation of nuclear weapons, of these weapons falling into the wrong hands." The Senate added a condition that the U.S. would seek parallel agreements with any republic that breaks away from the Moscow government and directed the ad- ministration to keep trying to clear discrepancies between the number of weapons Moscow says are located in the treaty area and the higher number estimated by U.S. intelligence. ---I MEET BILLY BRAGG AT 49P FVA Aw *I TODAY BETWEEN 3-4PM ENTER CONTEST TO WIN FRONT ROW SEATS FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW AT THE MICHIGAN THEATER 2be Lirbign iai~ The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students atthe University of Michigan.
