It would, he said, "create the kind of market-based reform plan that will give Americans the kind WASTE, Continued from page 1 general in Washington state. Richard Kraus, a lawyer for a group of Michigan radioactive waste generators known as the Michigan Coalition of Radioactive Materials Users (MichRad), said the state is having difficulty identifying a site for waste disposal. "Michigan has done three site reviews, but in each case (it) has run into wetlands," he said. Since the three original site reviews, there have been 78 other proposed sites, Kraus said, but the state funding crunch means development is not possible. Other Compact states were an- gered by new, tighter environmental statutes in Michigan which disqual- ified all state land from use as a dump site for low-level radioactive waste. Kraus agreed that Michigan's environmental legislation may pre- vent the creation of a state dump site, but that no federal regulations were violated. "The statute was definitely adopted, but we don't believe the criteria are inappropriate under federal law," Kraus said. Kraus said there are 54 compa- nies in the state that use nuclear materials and generate low-level of health care they want and deserve and put an end to the worry that keeps them awake at night."+ "The president's plan is disgraceful," said Joyce Lashof, president of the American Public Health Association. She said Bush was putting a Band-Aid on a system radioactive waste. Among these pro- ducers are utility companies, univer- sities, hospitals, and industrial plants. The waste producers have been storing their own waste in their own facilities since November 1990, and some of them are reaching capac- ity. Kraus said, "It's primarily some of the smaller generators like hospitals and industrial producers." As for what will happen when their own sites are filled, Kraus said, "It depends on each individual case. They could switch to different types of radioactive materials which would produce less waste. Some universities are restricting research activities." It is not feasible that Michigan will have its disposal site com- pleted by the deadline date of Jan- uary 1993, Kraus said. Between 1993 and 1996 "the state has the option to take possession of the waste or repay surcharges to the generators," he said. After 1996, the state will have to accept the waste. Kraus said Michigan plans to ap- peal the latest decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals. "I'm submitting a petition for a rehearing in federal court (Friday)," he said. that needs "radical surgery." House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-Mo), said Bush's plan "will put more money in the pockets of insurance companies and doctors, but will do nothing to make health coverage affordable or ensure Americans have access to quality care." Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore), said the Bush proposals were good, but wouldn't solve the cost questions. He said many people eligible for the credits won't use them, "and they won't be covered." DEAN Continued from page 1 She added, "With the recession time it's important that we have someone who is good at fundraising." Pao emphasized that the new dean must continue the progress made by Warner in the last six years. She said Warner "has done a phenomenal job. This new person that we're seeking must build on that. ... We're not starting from ground zero." School of Information and Library Studies graduate student Leslie Riester, the only student member of the six-person committee, also stressed the importance of acquiring a visionary leader who will build on past improvements. "I think the dean has to be a leader among the deans," Riester said. "Our current dean is highly respected and well-liked on the campus. Our new dean will have to continue that." Riester said she is on the committee to represent students' interests, but has not yet acted in this facility since the committee is still in the preliminary stages of the search. "It's a lot of formulation so we haven't really gotten to the point where I'll be playing the role of student rather than a committee member," she said. "I'm there I guess to balance - to remind - the committee that there's an obligation to the students as well as research." Pao emphasized that the committee will refrain from exposing candidates. a Warner "We're keeping everything confidential," she said. "Confidentiality is extremely important because we don't want to lose candidates. If you embarrass people when they have a good job," you can lose them." Even though committee members are aware of the recent court decision claiming the University violated the Open0 Meetings Act when directing the search for University President James Duderstadt, they are not A shifting search techniques. Pao said, "We're aware of the newspaper information and we're doing everything as fair as we can. without sacrificing the individual. We are not doing anything our conscience tells us not to do." Since the School of Information and Library Studies only has an estimated 270 students, committee members demand a dean who will make the smallest segment of the University visible.

(AP) - State government is going ahead with plans to turn over parts of the state's liquor operation to private enterprise, Gov. John Engler said yesterday. The governor said restructuring the state's monopoly on the whole- sale distribution of liquor will let the Liquor Control Commission concentrate on regulating estab- lishments that sell liquor. "The economic regulation, the running of a business, is not some- thing that is either inherently a gov- ernment function or the government is inherently good at," heasaid. But the executive director of the Michigan Interfaith Council on Al- cohol Problems called it a mistake to erode the state's control of the liquor supply. SEARCH Continued from page 1 "It seems to be a really impor- tant issue to most of (the presiden- tial candidates). If we say we are go- ing to interview, they give up the right to anonymity," Herron said. "When the final group of candi- dates is recommended to the board and in the final process when the confidentiality is no longer relevant to the candidates, the process shall be open," a spokesperson for the MSU news bureau said. Staff and faculty voiced opposing opinions, declaring they have thehright to know information about the candi-, dates and to assure they are selected fairly. Bud Hart, provost at the Oregon Institute of Technology - a univer- sity currently searching for a presi- dent - said that according to thet Oregon Public Meetings Law the press may attend meetings as a safeguard to assure fairness. "Oregon can meet and discuss personal matters closed to the pub- lic, but press can be there to make sure there is no 'good old boy' stuff," he said. 0 L DENTAL HEALTH DAY SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8 - 9:00 am-12:00 noon U of M DENTAL SCHOOL FREE ORAL CANCER SCREENING FREE X-RAYS FREE DENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION ALL AGES ARE WELCOME ALL SERVICES ARE FREE THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WILL HOST THEIR ANNUAL DENTAL HEALTH DAY Parking Is Available In The Fletcher St. Parking Lot The School Is Located On The Corner Of N.

"There is no reason to be terribly depressed, but there is not much room for enthusiasm," he said.. Schwarz said one possible source of revenues for higher education is his bill which would increase the state tax on all tobacco products. The bill - comparable to one introduced in the House by Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) and Rep. William Bryant (R-Grosse Pointe) - would raise the tax on each pack of cigarettes by 25 cents. While the Bullard-Bryant bill would devote all tax revenues to health initiatives, the Schwarz bill would use 40 percent of the income for health and 60 percent for education. Schwarz said the result could be a 3.5 percent increase in funding for higher education. "That would put downward pressure on potential tuition increases," he added. According to the Lansing State Journal, University President James Duderstadt said students could ex- pect to receive double-digit increases in tuition. While Duderstadt applauded En- gler's commitment to education in the new budget, he stressed the 'There is no reason to be terribly depressed, but there is not much room for enthusiasm.' - Keith Molin Associate Vice President for Government Relations University is facing financial difficulties. "It means that our universities must make tough choices and sacri- fices in order to hold down costs. while continuing to educate the, people and produce the ideas needed. to achieve greater prosperity for all. our citizens in the long term," Duderstadt said in a statement.
