Investigations continue into
dead opossum left at Daily

Christine Kloostra
Daily Staff Reporters
The University Department of
Safety (DPS) is continuing an inves-
tigation on the anti-Semitic note
left on the front stairs of the Stu-
dent Publications Building last
Monday morning.
The note read: "Liberal Jewish
bastards feast upon your brethren.
Foul associates of Satan. Deutsch-
land uber alles. The fatherland will

triumph." The German phrase is a
line from the national anthem.
The officer investigating the in-
cident was unavailable to comment
on the status of the investigation.
The message was found attached
to a dead opossum with a butter
knife early last Monday morning.
Acting Building Manager Carol
Pytko turned the animal over to
DPS, who is investigating whether
the incident is related to an ad that

was recently published in The
Michigan Daily claiming that the
Holocaust was an exaggeration.
Last Monday, Sgt. Paul Vaughan
of DPS said the incident may have
been in support of the ad, but that
the letter was not written directly
to the Daily.
The Student Publications Build-
ing houses the Daily, the Michigan-
Ensian yearbook, and the Gargoyle
humor magazine.

"Independence is the only way
out of the current situation. It's
easier to put order into small yard
than a large yard," said Viktor Za-
kerpikny, as he cast his ballot in
Byelo Tserkov, 55 miles south of
Kiev.

In Kiev, Mihailo Avanesov, a
metal artisan, said as he waited to
vote: "If the center no longer takes
a big slice of Ukraine's pie, we'll
live fine."
The only early returns were
from six Soviet military bases in
Kiev, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk and
Donetsk. The referendum carried
there easily, with support ranging
from 80.4 percent in Dnepro-
petrovsk to 97 percent in Kiev, said
military spokesperson Vladimir

cameras, follow them to lunch, and
harass them in the workplace. Some
employees have filed a lawsuit with
the Miller firm in Detroit for the
reasons I just stated."
The leaflet the group handed out
read "Hudson's breaks the law, mis-
treats its employees." According to
the leaflet, employees were dissat-

isfied with their pension plans and
felt pressured by increasing sales
quotas, and they desired union repre-
sentation.
"The only thing we hope to ac-
complish here is to have Dayton-
Hudson sit down in negotiation
with the UAW and be neutral to-
ward employees that approach us,"
Waters said.
Philip Gillial, a lawyer for the
UAW unemployment clinic, said
that Hudson's "has got a duty to
bargain under the National Labor

Relations Act and they will not
bargain with us. They are depriving
people of the right to negotiate a
contract."
"The law says that if 30 percen.
of employees sign cards to join tht
union, the law says it has the right
to vote. At Westland, the union
won the vote," Gillial said.
Eslinger said the picketing has
not affected sales. "We will end up
having a record Thanksgiving week-
end - the biggest in our history."

enced more turbulent bouts with
the friendly skies. One LSA junior,
who wished to remain anonymous,
said that flying was a "hellish ex-
perience."
"Just being in the airport with
all those people was annoying. You
feel like swatting them away," he
said.
He said that the airline had over-
booked the flight, so he and his
friends were split up onto separate
flights. He also complained that his
baggage took forever to reappear. "I
had to get in line to yell at the bag-
gage people," he said.
One student benefitted from air-
line overcrowding. Jodi Sokol, an

Airline companies geared up for
the holiday rush by adding extra
employees to the shifts.
But not all travelers chose tc
wait until the last minute to fl-

"This past weekend has been@
pretty much different than previous
years. People spread out their trav-

than all on Wednesday," said
Preston Bilberry, service manager
for customer service at Northwest

Bilberry said that yesterday was
