continued reforms. Whites voted
68.7 percent to 31.3 percent in favor
of change, giving de Klerk the man-
date he needed to carry out his most
important move: negotiating a new
constitution to give the Black major-
ity voting rights.
Major issues still must be re-
solved betweenrde Klerk and Black
leaders, and there is not likely to be
a swift transfer of power.
De Klerk refused yesterday to put
a time frame on a negotiated settle-
ment with the Black majority.
He has agreed to the concept of
an interim government but disagrees
with the ANC on how long it should
rule. De Klerk also says the new
constitution should contain guaran-
tees protecting rights of whites and
other minorities. The ANC opposes
this.

the time to attend. There is so much
apathy about other cultures that
they don't come."
Yet Dashner said once people
attend the annual pow wow, they
come back for more year after year.
Susan Hill, president of the
University Native(American
Student Association (NASA), the
organization sponsoring the event,
said pow wows occur year-round
across North America, but most of
them take place in the spring and
summer to symbolically celebrate
life.
"Usually well over 100 tribes
are represented (in the Ann Arbor
Pow Wow), with over 700 partici-
pants dancing, singing, and selling
authentic goods," Hill said.
"It's not like a dance perfor-
mance. It's a celebration through
dance and song," she added. While
most of the dances are tribal and

performed for the audience, audi-
ence members will be able to par-
ticipate in a few of the dances.
Dancers will wear both tradi-
tional buckskin and colorful cloth

regalia, the preferred term for
Native American clothing. "They
come from traditional aspects, but
don't fit the traditional stereo-
type," Hill said.
"We want to overcome stereo-

types about our traditions,"
Dashner said. He cited a recently
syndicated Andy Rooney column
which he said exaggerated and
stereotyped Native American tra-
ditions.
"A whole lot of non-Indians
are going to read this, including a
lot of college students ... but our
system is based on humanistic val-
ues. Hopefully students who at-
tend the event will overcome their
stereotypes," Dashner added.
This year's pow wow is ex-
pected to break attendance records
set last year at 7,000. The pow
wow moved from the Sports
Coliseum to Crisler Arena last
year after a large attendance at the
previous year's pow wow.
"It's definitely one of the
largest university pow wows.
Because of where we're located,
we're able to draw people from all
over," Hill said. She said that par-
ticipants come from as far as
Canada and the West.

Filippi, a Brown supporter, said
she was not upset about Tsongas'
withdrawal and speculated that it
would help her candidate.
"Actually, it's probably for the
best, because (Tsongas) isn't very
strong as it is," she said. "It would
probably weaken the party if he
stayed in.
"I think it's going to give Brown
a head start, definitely."

lems in East Engineering.
Executive Director for Univer-
sity Relations Walter Harrison said
he could not comment on the cus-
todian's allegations because he was
not familiar with the situation.
However, a staff member de-
scribed clean-up instructions given
to the custodial crew as
"disgusting."
"We were given attire that was
inappropriate. The suits were either
fit too poorly to be used, or were so

ragged that we were told to wear
them backwards."
Despite these efforts, several
rooms in East Engineering were re-
cently sealed, and have signs pre-
venting entry posted on the doors.
Armando Lopez, maintenance
personnel officer and supervisor to
the health coordinator, refused to
comment on allegations that cus-
todians are being endangered.
Maintenance staff officers, in-
cluding Goergene Spenser, manager
of building services and Jerry Lon-
ergan, office of the plant assistant
director, also refused to comment
on similar allegations.

East Engineering staff members
claim neither their union nor the
maintenance health coordinator has
been willing to help them fight the
orders to clean up the mess.
Staff members also claim they
are entitled to physicals after han-
dling dangerous materials, but all
their requests for examinaitons have
been denied.
The janitors, who spoke under
condition of anonymity, recalled a
co-worker who resigned after suffer-
ing nerve damage due to the haz-
ardous materials he was forced to
handle. The maintenance staff said
they are now being asked to clean
up the same materials.

RANKINGS
Continued from page 1
Edward Cooper, Associate Dean
for Academic Affairs and Law pro-
fessor, said he was not pleased with
the ranking, questioning the rele-
vance of the criteria. Cooper said he
thought the ranking of the law
school should be "number one."
Robert Morse, senior editor in
charge of ranking at U.S. News and

World Reports, said he was not
suprised by Cooper's reaction. "No
one likes to be graded."
Morse added that the ranking cri-
teria was important. "If what we're
using is irrevelant, then what is reve-
lant?"
In other areas, the University's
graduate engineering program im-
proved its ranking to seventh this
year.

Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Stanford, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Purdue and California Institute of
Technology ranked above the
University, while Cornell was ninth,
Harvard 21st and Princeton, and
Rice ranked 24th.
The University's Medical School
was ranked 10th in research-oriented
medical schools - tied with
Cornell.

"The overheating of transformers
caused PCBs to leak in some cases
and to vaporize in others," Eaton
said. The university remained closed
an extra two weeks after winter
break would have ended.
As a result, the academic calen-
dar had to be modified, said
Associate Vice President for
Students David Eaton. "The alterna-
tive would have been to push the
semester beyond commencement."
Chandler sent letters to the stu-
dents informing them of the situation
and telling them the school would
not open on time.
The explosion's ramifications
reached all aspects of the university.
Modular science labs - opening
today - were erected in place of the
one science building that was pol-
luted by the explosion. Biology
Department Chair Arnold
Nemerofsky said the new building is
equipped with laboratories, prepara-
tion rooms, computer labs, and of-

faces.
"A substantial amount of science
equipment is not accessible - very
intensely expensive pieces of
equipment," Eaton said. Some has
been cleaned and the rest will be re-
placed.
In addition to the science facility
problem, 360 students - now
dubbed "displaced people" - were
unable to return to their contami-
nated dorm rooms.
"Initially four dorms were af-
fected, two were then tested clean
and opened up in the beginning of
the semester," Eaton said. One of the
other two dorms will open up next
fall and the fourth still requires a lot
of work.
Before sophomore Cindy
Herrschaft returned to school after
winter break, she was told, "You
can't return to your dorm or have
anything back because it is all con-
taminated - no questions asked."
Herrschaft said she was told in
the end of February that she will
probably get her belongings back
later this spring. Residents of other
dorms have not been as fortunate.
"Some students will get their
stuff back, but they are still testing.
A number of people will not get
their belongings back," Eaton said.
"All people who did not have ac-

cess to their stuff could fill out a
voucher for $250 against their claim
... beyond that depends on our resi-
dence hall insurance carriers," he
added.
Students whose belongings are
returned will probably be asked to
refund the money, but Eaton said the
situation is not definite.
But the sentimental value of stu-
dents' belongings - such as art
portfolios and computer files - far
outweighs monetary reimburse-
ments, Eaton said.
"It's frustrating knowing every-
thing you own is across the street
and you can't touch it," Herrschaft
said.
"I am certain that people will also
be compelled to seek redress through
the court system. I presume there is
some potential for class action,"
Eaton said.
Because several students have
been forced to move out of the
dorms, the school has lost additional
money due to cancelled meal plans.
"We lost about 200 meal plans,
probably about a couple hundred
thousand dollars in income ...
(Though) the financial impact is
minimal," Eaton said.
Eaton said most of the time and
money spent so far has been used to
test the buildings for safety.
