Authorities said they're more concerned with the thousands of unregistered handguns in the state than with the more than 2 million small firearms legally on file. "For every legal gun we know about, there are three unregistered ones," said Liz Welton, a Michigan State Police gun registration supervisor. "That's conservative. You could probably double that - say, six to one." Violence involving weapons shot up 10 percent statewide between 1989 and 1990 to 6,468 crimes, according to the most recent state police statistics. In Eaton County, it rose 46 percent, and Clinton County reported a 25 percent increase. More Michiganians are buying handguns. In 1991, 50,681 handgun purchases were officially filed with the state, Welton said. Most were first-time registrations. In Lansing alone, more than 1,100 handgun permits are issued annually, said police Officer Lowell Nash, who licenses gun owners in the state's capital. Not long ago, arrests for carrying a concealed weapon were relatively rare in Lansing, Nash said. Offenders now are routinely charged with the crime. "I can remember when one ... in a month was something to talk about. Now it seems the night shift alone might pick up 10 or 15 a month," he said. The easy availability of handguns means more young people are likely to end a dispute by pulling a trigger than by throwing a punch, said Dorothy Cooks, a neighborhood ac- tivist in southwest Lansing. "We're fearful of retaliation from certain people on the streets," she said. "They don't settle things with fists any more, they settle things with guns." Teen-agers arm themselves for protection from rival gangs and drug traffickers and because they think "it's the cool thing to do," said Robert Trojanowicz, a Michigan 'For every legal gun we know about, there are three unregistered ones.' - Liz Welton Michigan State Police State University criminal justice professor. School programs that help police officers develop friendships with students are helping discourage some teens from turning to crime, Lansing police Lt. Sam Campbell said. But experts and activists said deglamorizing small weapons was the key to cutting handgun-related crime. "It should be up to parents and the other kids, demanding the authorities act and making the kid with a gun a social leper," said Carl Taylor, a Grand Valley State University professor. ql Looking for election Magic?

APPEAL Continued from page 1 He said that he expects that the regents will appeal the decision. "I would assume that they are going to appeal," he said. Harrison added that this decision will not affect only future per- sonnel searches at the University. "It's going to affect all state universities. Candidates for posi- tions at any of them will be sub- jected to the public," he said. Harrison said that if the University appeals the case, it could take years to get through the legal system. He added that if the regents de- cide not to appeal or lose the appeal, the money to pay the $66,000 fine will either come from the University's reserves or be covered by the University's insurance pol- icy. ZIMMER Continued from page 1 consider candidate personality or in- cumbency advantage, Laracey said. He also suggested that Zimmer's analysis of only fifteen elections over ten years (ten council elections and five mayoral) was too limited to ensure accuracy. "The assumptions are that neigh- borhoods have voting patterns," Zimmer said. "Probability is not a crystal ball. I'm not going to pre- dict the future. My claim was never that these wards would make it im- possible for a minority candidate to win." Zimmer himself is a minority candidate - a Democrat in a Republican ward. Zimmer is the first Democrat to be elected in the 4th ward in 18 years. According to his own figures, he has a very small chance of being reelected. MIDEAST Continued from page 1 all the investments ... for solving this very complicated problem, in- cluding these loan guarantees." Shamir did not make clear how he expected to resolve the dispute, but Israel television reported he saw Baker's reported proposal as agreement in principle to provide loan guarantees. Shamir told 300 Jewish journalists, "The U.S. has reaffirmed its readiness to assist us in the unprecedented task of absorbing the large immigration." "The United States understands that for us the building and development of all parts of Eretz Israel is a matter of principle," Shamir said. "Eretz Israel" or the "land of Israel" is the term right-wing Israelis use to define both pre-1967 Israel and the territories it captured from Syria and Jordan that year in the Six Day War. He was confident both sides would be able to "find a formula that will not contradict U.S. policy or this principle of ours." "As long as such an effort exists, we believe it will succeed," he said. According to sources in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Baker suggested that U.S. objections to the Jewish settlements might be met if Israel stopped building new homes. The offer apparently would allow Israel to complete the sizable housing units it already has begun. Before the settlements got tied up with the loan guarantee issue, the United States repeatedly asked Israel to stop building new Jewish settlements as a gesture toward the U.S.-sponsored peace talks. In Tunisia, meanwhile, Yasser Abd-Rabbo, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization's information department and a close aide of PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, said it was "inopportune" for Palestinians to take part in the Moscow talks. A committee of Palestinian delegates has already recommended a boycott of the talks because of a lack of progress in earlier bilateral negotiations in Washington and the exclusion of the PLO from this week's talks. Israel refuses to negotiate directly with the PLO, which it considers a terrorist organization, while most Palestinians consider the group their representative. the women," Marshall says.

Grown men saying 'Get your rosaries off my ovaries!' I am embarrassed for them." Pro-choice supporters substan- tially out-number the Operation Rescue picketers, and AACDARR members say they face a dwindling number of opposition at every clinic defense. Some AACDARR mem- bers contribute the decrease to their militant tactics. "Our numbers show where the majority of the population lies on the abortion issue," says pro-choice supporter Steve Craine. , Police announce that the clinic is to remain open, despite earlier re- ports. Surrounded by people, women begin entering the clinic. In a less than confidential whisper, Opera- tion Rescue demonstrators remind, "You know you can get off that table anytime you feel like it," and "I sense murder in the air." "Personally, if I had to walk in here with all these people shouting values at me, I would be scared to death," comments Becca Meyer, an RC sophomore helping to defend the clinic against Operation Rescue. In the single-digit temperatures, the opposing factions hold their ground. Some less hearty demon- strators seek refuge in the Hi-liter Restaurant, a coffee shop next door reminiscent of the 1950s. Over warming cups of coffee, two women from Operation Rescue discuss their reasons for blockading the clinic. "The weather wouldn't stop me. Once you start, you know you're do- ing the right thing," says Stawinski, looking down at a miniature plastic fetus sitting on the table. "I am a Christian. We are supposed to speak up for all those who have no voice." By noon, all activity has settled down. Despite that several women make it into the clinic, both sides head home, believing they did the right thing. I Get a beautiful tan at .. 'm u m r5TH AVE.
