* Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Thursday, January 9, 1992 Russian shoppers heckle Yeltsin, angry at 4 MOSCOW (AP) - Shoppers angered by soaring prices heckled Russian President Boris Yeltsin as he began a two-day tour of the provinces yesterday, and he told farmers that the public that once adored him is "applauding no more." Yeltsin's remarks, run on na- tional TV, were his first admission that the freeing of prices across Russia on Jan. 2 has cut into his popularity. "No one dared to start this re- form for seven years," he told farm- ers near the southern Russian city of Saratov. "If we had done it two or three years ago, we would be living normally now." "If anyone thinks the president can fill the empty pots all by him- self, you are mistaken. We can only do it together," Yeltsin said. He was surrounded and heckled by shoppers at a state store in Saratov, a city of 920,000 people along the Volga River, about 465 miles southeast of Moscow. Later, Yeltsin told dozens of fur-hatted workers at the former Osinovsky State Farm that "of course there is no applause" by the 'No one dared to start this reform for seven years.' - Boris Yeltsin Russian President Russian people for his price reform. "They applauded before the pres- idential election" last June, he said, standing next to a rusty tractor. "I understand that I have staked my credibility, to some extent. But it's not a matter of me personally, but of these issues. "Of all the countries in the world that have made a transition to igh prices a market economy, none has evaded free prices." Yeltsin also stopped at a former defense factory that now makes re- frigerators. In the evening, he trav- eled to another Volga River city, Ulyanovsk. He is to go today to Nizhni Novgorod, the grimy industrial city where dissident Andrei Sakharov spent seven years in internal exile. In Saratov, Yeltsin met ethnic Russian demonstrators upset over his support for creation of an au- tonomous area within Russia for ethnic Germans. "Germans, Yes! Autonomy, No!" one sign read. Yeltsin assured the ethnic Russians that only overwhelmingly German areas would be incorporated in the autonomous district. He said the heart of the district would be a former military testing ground near Volgograd. 0 0 Look at it from their side Ulrich's employees rush to fill student orders yesterday.

In Washington, Quayle was alerted about Bush's trouble but went ahead with his campaign trip_ to New Hampshire after being as- sured the president was all right. He said assuming command in Bush's place "didn't even cross my mind" since he knew the president was not seriously ill, but he added that "I'm ready" to take over if necessary. World markets fell after the first bulletins but quickly recovered. The incident also took the spot- light from a day of acrimonious trade talks, centered on U.S. de- mands that Japan buy more American autos and parts. The contentious tone of the trade discussions was underlined when Mosbacher rejected a Japanese offer by fuming, "I would be embarrassed to show this to the president." The president is to return to Washington tomorrow, ending a 12-day, 26,000-mile trip through Australia and Asia billed as a cam- paign to rip down trade barriers and create jobs for recession-weary Americans. JAPAN Continued from page 1 told Japan's trade minister, Kozo Watanabe, one witness said. Japan's five major automakers unveiled proposals saying they would try to sell about 20,000 U.S. cars a year in Japan. One Japanese official quoted Watanabe as saying Japan could make no further concessions. U.S. officials had no concrete improvements to report after Bush and Miyazawa met. Noboru Hatakeyama, vice min- ister of Japan's Ministry of Inter- national Trade and Industry, sug- gested that the United States was abandoning its own stated com- mitment to free trade. "If we're asked to come up with concrete figures (for increased im- ports), isn't that the same thing as managed trade? They don't seem to be able to understand that, no mat- ter what we say," he said. The two sides did conclude a joint "strategy for world growth." THE HOMELESS CHILDREN AT RISK ADULT ILLITERATES THE ELDERLY For more information stop by Project Community, Room 2205, Michigan Union Trained Volunteer Corps CITY Continued from page 1 First woman city attorney hired The City Council appointed Elizabeth Schwartz as the new city attorney Monday night. She is the first woman to serve in this posi- tion. The council voted 7-3 in Schwartz's favor with the three Republicans voting against hiring Schwartz. The Republicans ex- pressed a concern regarding Schwartz's lack of municipal expe- rience. The Democratic caucus empha- sized her experience with Michigan state law. The other final candidate spent most of her career practicing law in Florida. "Any candidate has a certain amount of learning to do for this position," said Councilmember Bob Grady (D-3rd Ward). "I am, very confident she'll do an excellent job in this position." Five council members and four local lawyers chose Schwartz from a field of 57 applicants. Schwartz, a graduate of the University's law school, currently is an assistant Michigan attorney general. She will begin her new job sometime between Jan. 29 and Feb. 17, said Mayor Liz Brater.

"It's been slipping for the past three years," he said. The growing enrollment is cou- pled with a growing job market for students with degrees in Russian and Eastern European studies, El- liott said. "People are no longer obses- sively studying Communism, but emerging political parties, because there weren't multi-party systems there in the past," said Elliott. Many professors are shifting the focus of their courses to Russia and the Commonwealth, but Elliott said he would also like to expand existing classes in Russian law and geography at George Washington. The four most important areas in Soviet studies now, according to El- liott, are Russian language, history, geography, and demography. Zimmerman mentioned the pos- sibility of adding classes at the University in the near future that explored Russian political systems, democratic transitions around the globe, and the collapse of multi-na- tional states.
