The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 4, 1992 - Page 3 Bush's tax plan *att acked y ems. WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic governors took over a White House ceremony yesterday and pummeled President Bush with criticism of his economic-revival plan. Bush demanded to know if Democrats wanted to raise taxes, close military bases and lay off workers. The Democrats accused Bush of trying to stampede them into sup- porting his tax and spending plan, and the March 20 deadline he set for Congress to enact it. They accused Bush of resorting to budget "gimmicks," warned that the nation was falling into "a sewer of debt," and called for higher taxes on the wealthy. "There are some times and some places in an election year that we do have differences," said Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, incoming chair of the National Governors' Associa- tion. "More and more we're beginning to hear people say this sluggish economy is turning around," Bush said, citing drops in interest rates. Romer said Bush's $1.52 trillion budget contained $40 billion in "gimmicks" and said, "We're con- cerned that some of those may end up on ourbacks." "Do you want it to be $100 bil- lion, and if so, what bases do you want to close?" the president said heatedly. "What areas do you want to shut down? What weapon sys- tems do you want to knock off right now? Or do you want to lay off the people?" White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater acknowledged that reaction to Bush's proposal "has been mixed." Gov. John Engler, also present at the conference yesterday, gave Pres- 1 ident Bush a vote of confidence and said the best thing Washington can do for the states is to quit burdening them with rules and orders. "I guess if you send enough money you can live with any rule or regulation," Engler said in an inter- view. "But one person gets left out of the equation and that's the tax- payer who's supposed to pay for all a this. u New Student Affairs VP gears up for true 'U' life in South Quad Squaring off A group called the "A-Squares" square dances in the Anderson Room at the Michigan Union last night during one of its weekly get-togethers. Japan leader says U.S. by Melissa Peerless Daily Administration Reporter Maureen Hartford's father did not help her carry her things up to the third floor when she moved into South Quad yesterday. "I carried it up myself," she said. "It made me miss my parents." Harford, the University's new vice presi- dent for Student Affairs, said she will be living in the residence hall through Friday night - eating, sleeping and showering there, then go- ing to work in the Fleming Administration Building. Also, Hartford will have the opportunity to live with a student roommate. Engineering sophomore Doneka Scott said she is excited to have Hartford staying with her for the week. "My RD knew that my roommate from last semester was not going to be coming back this term so she asked me if I would mind having this opportunity. I thought it was great," she sad. Scott added that she does not consider liv- ing with Hartford to be a big deal. "She'll only be here until Friday, so it will be brief," she said. "When I tell my friends, they are usually like, 'Why?' It's not anything major. I'm excited. She's charming." Last night, Scott and -lartford ate dinner together in the South Quad cafeteria and went to an intramural basketball game. Hartford said South Quad is similar to the dorm in which she lived while she was a stu- dent at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hlill. She was a member of the first class of women admitted to the university as first-year students. "It kind of reminds me of the dorms that I lived in, except that the bathrooms weren't locked," she said. Hartford said she is also concerned because the bathrooms are so far down the hall from her room. "When you're my age, you would like it to be closer," she said. Hartford said she was pleased to see how clean Scott kept her room. "It's much nicer than any college dorm room I've ever stayed in before, in terms of cleanliness," she said. And while IIartford is excited to use this, experience to get to know a large and diverse ,t 'My RD knew that my roommate from last semester, was not going to be coming back this term so she asked me if I would mind having this opportunity.

Hartford called the meeting" a first chance to get acquainted" rather than a business meeting. She told the committee she was concerned to hear student com- plaints of a lack of input in campus affairs. She asked the committee for advice on student relations. SACUA members voiced con- cern that the CRISP registration pe- riod is too long, and students who have not declared majors do not receive adequate counseling. The committee also said faculty members ure not adequately trained to handle students' personal prob- lems.

Anna Hooper, a member of the blood drive publicity committee, said there is a very high demand for blood in the state of Michigan, and that the southeastern area of the state is chronically in short supply.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The highest levels of ozone-destroying chemicals ever measured have been found in the skies over the northern hemisphere. It is now likely that an ozone hole will develop this winter over parts of the United States, Canada and Europe, National Aero- nautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists said yesterday. "Everybody should be alarmed The levels are high enough, he said, to destroy ozone at the rate of 1 percent to 2 percent a day for brief, late-winter periods. With conducive weather conditions, the northern ozone layer could be depleted by 30 to 40 percent, he said. Kurylo said the areas of depleted ozone found by NASA satellites extended as far south as New Eng- land and France during parts of Jan- cancer and cataracts, and to suppress the human immune system. The nat- ural radiation can also damage plants and ocean plankton. Atmospheric molecules of chlo- rine monoxide and bromine monox- ide react in the presence of sunlight to cause a thinning of the ozone layer. Thus, by measuring the levels of these chemicals, scientists can predict the level of ozone destruc-
