"I want to have a system which gives incentives to retrain the workers continuously and charges people who don't do it so we can do it, and I want to change the tax code to take.out the incentives for moving the jobs overseas," he said. "And then I want a strategy for getting the American market back." Clinton also said he supports help for small businesses to increase job growth. "According to an MIT study, 85 percent of the jobs created in the last 12 years have been created in businesses of under 50 (people)." Clinton said. "So what do you have to have? You need a very viable small business economy." He also called for abandoning the current student loan system in favor of a "National Service Trust." "(Under my plan) anybody can borrow the money to go to college and sign a contract to pay it back in one of two ways," Clinton said.

"Your national government has Court decision unlikely to affect 'U' lawsuits by Purvi Shah Daily Administration Reporter The Supreme Court decision paving the way for students to receive monetary awards in cases of sexual discrimination or harassment sexualI %araaament, suprem6 Court, and students .fluaa in lys will have little impact unless victims also make a decision to risk public humiliation by litigating, University administrators say. The Supreme Court cast a spin on the issue of sexual discrimination and harassment Feb. 26 in ruling 9-0 that students can now receive pecuniary damages as restitution under Title IX of a 1972 education law. Since Title IX had been interpreted to allow only retroactive pay or injunctions to stop the illegal activity, students - who do not get pay and usually graduate by the time cases are heard - were previously stranded without an effective remedy. While the Supreme Court decision may constitute an ideological victory for women's rights groups and provide an impetus for money-conscious officials to modify behavior, the ruling is unlikely to change social attitudes or spur victims to litigate in light of recent sexual harassment and sexual assault trials. "It's my gut feeling that a woman sues when she's so desperate she doesn't know what to do.... It's the fact that she's been wronged," said Affirmative Action Office Representative Deborah Orlowski. "People that complain about sexual harassment aren't doing so because they want money. Who wants to go through all the nonsense in court?" But University General Counsel Elsa Cole said she believes more lawsuits will be filed due to the possibility of a financial award - with increases in plaintiffs and lawyers who will be more willing to take cases. Cole explained that lawyers will now be able to request a certain percentage of monetary damages for fees. "Before there was no financial incentive for attorneys," she said. Yet, keeping in mind the burdens of litigation, she adds, "It's very difficult - one of these lawsuits - whether you're an employee or a student, because you yourself become the subject of the dispute because your own 'encouragement' becomes the issue. "It's often one person's word against the other and that's hard to prove. It takes a pretty tough person to go through that." Kay Dawson, assistant to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and principal drafter of the University policy on sexual harassment, said the policy would not have to be modified because it currently focuses on resolving disputes internally. . A 1976 Michigan statute similar to Title IX was used in 1986 to fight an elementary school sexual discrimination case and could have been used as a standard to adjudicate sexual harassment cases, but none have been reported, Cole said. Orlowski points to recent events such as the Clarence Thomas hearing and the William Kennedy Smith and See HARASSMENT, Page 2 IASA provides 'U' students a cultural haven Marijuana activists to sue for use of Diag NORML protesting 'U' permit denial by Mona Qureshi Daily Staff Reporter Many members of the University Indian American Students Association (IASA) say the organization pro- vides them a new opportunity to socialize with others of similar cultural backgrounds, after having come from high schools with a small representation of Indian Americans. "(IASA) was founded in the intent to make it into a social organization," said Amrik Singh, a former IASA president. Singh explained he was born and raised in Detroit, and attended a school with very few Indians. "Indian people were pretty much scarce except for religious community functions once a week," he said. He said he did not have the chance to socialize and meet other people of Indian origin. The term "Indian origin" Singh and other IASA members use refers to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other related cultural origins, Singh said. IASA Vice President of Public Relations Bobby Guhasakar said he too never really had an opportunity to meet and socialize with other Indians.

The University has denied NORML's request to reserve the Diag for a rally which was organized to coincide with Hash Bash, a na- tional pro-legalization of marijuana gathering in Ann Arbor. The ACLU's Washtenaw County chapter will file a complaint in Washtenaw County Circuit Court this week. Adam Brook, secretary of U of M NORML, said his organization is asking the court for permission to use the Diag this year, an injunction prohibiting the University from denying NORML the Diag for Hash Bash ever again, and "$10,000 in damages.
