But one aspect that is likely to change - and recently came under strain - is the University's police services contract with the city of Ann Arbor. Closing Of Ypsilanti plant will affect 'U' by Hope Calati Daily Staff Reporter The Ann Arbor Police Department has traditionally pro- vided services to the University, but campus deputization is decreasing city officers' involvement in campus security. Yet DPS Director Leo Heatley said the shift in deputization power will have no effect on the day-to-day activities of the force. Because the shift is technical, and not organiza- tional, neither the structure of the department nor officer hiring and training will be affected, he said. However, Shirley Clarkson, di- rector of Presidential Communications, said the University expects a higher standard of hiring and training as a result of the shift. "The feeling from the start is that students are better served when offi- cers are accountable to the University," she said. "The officers will learn all of the things required by any police department, but be- yond that, they must also understand the campus and become part of the community." "There will be a higher standard in terms of sensitivity to particular areas and improved relations with students," she added. DPS Lt. Vernon Baisden said the highest priority is to get the most qualified individuals and to maintain a diversified force of men, women, and minorities. At the same time, the University will have to negotiate its police con- tract with the city. While last year's contract sought to define procedural relations between the forces, this communication faltered recently. Ann Arbor police declined to pro- vide backup aid requested by DPS for protection against student protests. City Administrator Alfred Gatta said there are two levels of agree- ment between the University and the city of Ann Arbor concerning police backup: a contractual agreement with the University that generally involves one day's notice for sup- port, and "emergency support," in which the Ann Arbor force will an- swer campus calls for mutual aid in emergency situations. "Those in control of field opera- tions at the time considered the phone call a call for services in con- tract," he said. Ann Arbor Police Chief Douglas Smith said DPS' phone call at 8:15 a.m. Feb. 21 asking for aid by 9 a.m. did not allow for ample time, and was not considered an emergency situation. "The University must understand the day-to-day operations before it makes certain demands," he said. "There was no way we could get See POLICE, Page 2 At the Feb. 21 regents meeting, Spy budget to stay at Cold War level $30 billion set aside for intelligence Fewer student job opportunities, a decrease in admissions and a re- duction in state higher education funding are three possible effects the closing of General Motors' Willow Run plant in Ypsilanti might have on the University. Although the plant will not close until .the summer of 1993, many University officials said they are concerned about the ramifications of the closing. Deborah May, director of Career Planning and Placement, said she expects a reduction in local jobs - available to students because of lower retail spending by Willow Run employees. Donald Peterson, director of Placement for Engineering, also said the plant closing will hinder em- ployment opportunities for students. "The GM downsizing has had an impact on recruiting here.

Spending is estimated at $30 billion for next year - about where it stood when Soviet communism was considered a major threat. Some members of Congress, which will eventually vote on the intelligence budget without revealing its contents, think the spies and analysts ought to be taking cuts along the lines of those faced by the military. But the White House counters that intelligence activi- ties will be all the more vital after the armed forces are cut. Officials will not comment publicly on the intelligence budget. But Defense. Secretary Dick Cheney, asked recently whether intelli- gence cuts would equal those in defense, said, "Let's just say (CIA Director) Bob Gates is a happy man." The administration's proposed budget for next year does take a bite from intelligence spending. But it is nowhere near as much as the 7 percent cut in the defense budget of which it is a part, according to indications from official and private sources. And that is not sit- ting well with some lawmakers. "The intelligence budget has got to reflect developments in the world," Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) said. "There's a general consensus that there should be some cuts," added Metzenbaum, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Democrats believe the intelligence budget should be shaved at least another 2 or 3 per- cent, bringing it closer to the defense cuts. Spending on spy satellites is a likely target, now that the former Soviet Union is disman- tling many of its nuclear weapons and consoli- dating the rest. Last year, Congress cut about 1 percent from the administration's requested spending. For fiscal 1993, lawmakers say they will be less generous But the administration contends, in the words of one official, that "intelligence is a force multiplier," meaning that it makes up for the smaller number of U.S. troops and weapons. To feel confident that the United States can afford to close bases and take many troops and systems off alert, the administration must be able to rely on timely intelligence, he added, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Candidates exchange barbs, negative TV ads by Andrew Levy Daily Campaign Issues Reporter Recent days have seen a shift to a more negative campaigning style among both Democrats and Republicans in the presidential race, as an onslaught of personal attacks and negative advertisements have hit the nation's airwaves. On the Republican side, President Bush and right-wing chal- lenger Pat Buchanan have gone all out in attempts to differentiate them- selves from one another. Bush's ag- gressiveness can be attributed to Buchanan's strong showing in New Hampshire, and to the fact that un- committed delegates won 31 percent of the South Dakota vote. Among Democrats, former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at- tacked one another and were at- tacked by the other Democratic can- didates over the weekend, as they met for three debates - in Denver, Atlanta, and College Park, Md. Bush has attempted to character- ize Buchanan as a candidate with no political experience, liable to cripple the economy with protectionist tac- tics. Buchanan, on the other hand, has questioned Bush's conservatism. In one Buchanan campaign ad- vertisement, aired last week in Maryland, the president was criti- cized for signing a recent civil rights See NEGATIVE, Page 2 NEW CARROLTON, Md.

The Commerce Department re- ported that consumers boosted their spending a lackluster 0.2 percent in January, while their incomes actu- ally fell by 0.1 percent. Private economists said the mixed reports were typical of an from 47.4 percent the month before. A reading below 50 percent is viewed as indicating a recession in manufacturing while a reading above 50 percent signals an expanding manufacturing sector. It marked the first time the index has been above the 50 percent mark since last November. Economists said the closely- watched manufacturing survey was good news for the one-fifth of the economy engaged in manufacturing, a sector that had appeared to be leading the country out of recession ioo e n no n to fltt-r rinQ thP. City approves housing funds $KXOforlw-income homes by Erin Einhorn Daily City Reporter Creating affordable housing for Ann Arbor's low and moderate income familes has long been a priority for the city, said City Council members, who last night unanimously approved the allocation of about $870,000 in federal funds for developing local housing units. The resolution advocated that the city administration make the development of affordable housing a main priority and that the city encourage Washtenaw County to find additional funds and contribute the project called "the Ann Arbor Affordable Initiative." The new funding comes from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocation for the purpose of providing housing assistance under the National Housing Affordability Act's "Home Program."
