The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 20, 1992 - Page 3 Publishers, . shops clash over copy regulations by Sarah Fette In a recent U.S. federal court hearing, three member companies of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) made significant progress in their suit against Michigan Document Services, when Judge Barbara Hackett issued a pre- liminary injunction requiring Michigan Document Services to stop copying and distributing texts with- out permission from publishers. The AAP-coordinated lawsuit was filed February 27 and noted six specific instances of copyright viola- * tions by Michigan Document Services. AAP representatives said the liti- gation is part of a broad-based ucopyright enforcement program conducted by AAP on behalf of its member publishing organizations. Jim Smith, president and owner of Michigan Document Services, said he anticipated the suit, but that his company has consistently sought to keep the costs of materials down for students. "(The lawsuit) was not a surprise. Publishers have made a systematic attempt to exploit students by charg- ing outrageous loyalties," Smith said. "Michigan Document Services is not willing to be a party to that. I feel we have good grounds for de- fending ourselves and a good chance to win this case. We will pursue this case to its end," he added. AAP Chair Charles Ellis, presi- dent and chief executive officer of John Wiley and Sons, stated in a press release AAP seeks to protect the interests of both publishers and copy stores nationwide that comply with established copyright laws. "AAP's member publishers are * committed to making high quality educational materials available at reasonable cost. We continue to press for copyright compliance not only in the interest of authors and publishers, but also in support of those copy shops throughout the country... "Ellis said in the press statement. Students forego studying to enjoy spring weather Above: The Law Quad lights shine through the mist which covered the area late Saturday night. Below: People enjoy yesterday's warm temperatures while playing catch in the LawQuad. by Mona Qureshi Daily Staff Reporter Many students gave up trying to study inside yesterday in favor of enjoying the first ."real" day of spring to hit.Ann Arbor this year. Students celebrated spring at popular spots such as the Law Quad, the Diag, and the Central Campus Recreation Building. "I love the weather. It's just weird - one minute it's cold and then it's hot the next," LSA first- year student Leela Kilaru said while playing Frisbee in the Law Quad. "I'm surprised how fast the flowers come out and a day or two later, it's 40 degrees outside," said Sonja Worte, an LSA senior exchange student from Germany who sat on the steps of one of the Lawyer's Club doors. Yet the weather brought some disadvantages to students who said they should have been studying. One of Kilaru's playing partners, LSA first-year student Raju Shah, said he had a lot of work to do, but would rather spend time outside while it was nice and then study inside when the weather cooled. "I'm taking it easy. This is procrastinating at its best, one of those top 10 Michigan stress relievers," Shah said. Some students said they felt no regrets for spending time outside.."I don't -feel guilty.-I -have to- do everything, catch up with everything.- I'm way behind schedule. But I'd be wasting a day just sitting inside. I'd go crazy," School of Natural Resources first- year student Anne Yen said while she sat in the Diag. Students still visited the library to prepare for exams. First-year engineering student Eric Partington said he had four finals in six days and could not spend time outside. "It makes me feel good, though, because I have lots of exams. I'm proud of myself," he said. Some visiting the library regretted not being able to spend time outside. "It's lovely. I'm pissed that it's warm so I can't study for finals. Who the hell wants to be inside?" engineering first-year student Anne Bagchi said. Kinesiology senior Jeff Brainard brought his studies with him to the Diag. "Well, the warm weather makes studying outside a lot easier. It makes my playtime and study time go hand-in-hand," he said. He admitted he would be more efficient studying inside because outside he likes to watch what is happening around him. "But it uplifts your spirits. It's hard to stare out from a window and not be tempted to be outside," Brainard said. 8 8 t ' Officials say Chicago River tunnel leak may be fixed . i CHICAGO (AP) - After six days, engineers finally plugged the tunnel leak under the Chicago River that caused a devastating flood and virtually shut down business in the heart of the city, officials said yes- terday. They said business in the city's Loop, the business district, could go back to normal - or almost. The flooding, which began Monday, in- undated basements and caused power outages in some of the na- tion's largest buildings. Commonwealth Edison said yes- terday that electricity was restored to all but 11 Loop buildings that still must have their basements drained and other problems repaired before it's safe to turn power back on. Marshall Field's flagship State Street department store said it planned to reopen today after work- ers spent a week pumping water from a basement. It was late Saturday that the last bit of concrete was poured in three spots needed to plug leaks in the century-old system of tunnels below the Loop. Yesterday workers further sealed the concrete plug with grout. A tunnel wall was breached through the bed of the river Monday, and more than 250 millions gallons of dirty river water poured into the 50-mile underground network and into basements. Once used to deliver coal, mail and freight, the system now contains a modern equivalent: electric cables. "In short terms, the leak is plugged," said Billy Davis, an aide to Mayor Richard Daley. And that means a return to some kind of nor- malcy today in the central business district, he said. "Most Loop businesses will be able to reopen," he said. However, the financial loss that drained from the city and its busi- nesses remains untold. Fleeing the deluge and the threat of electrical fires, 200,000 people evacuated scores of buildings, in- cluding the Chicago Board of Trade, which closed in an unprecedented two-day shutdown and limited trad- ing the rest of the week. The concrete may take up to two days to harden before engineers start their next big task - removing the millions of gallons of river water from the tunnels. The wait will allow engineers to determine whether the concrete seals are strong enough to be permanent or need reinforcement. Davis said the Army Corps of Engineers would help decide the best way to drain the tunnel. * UAW workers go back after five month strike ____ Do You?j Bargain Matinees, Sr. Citizen $3.7 "RIRW - THIS COULD BE THE SMARTEST MOVE ..TAE7 OF YOUR COLLEGE CAREER. WASHINGTON' (AP) - It played in Peoria for Caterpillar, and now it's being played out again in Congress: an election-year struggle over the right of businesses to hire 0 permanent replacements for striking workers. "The threat of strike replace- ments was a major factor in causing the union to throw in the towel" in the recent five-month United Auto Workers (UAW) strike at Caterpillar plants in Peoria and elsewhere in Illinois, argues Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio), a leader in the Senate effort to ban permanent replacements. There seems little doubt. Within days after the company advertised for replacements, 12,600 UAW workers went back to their jobs. Save the L DAILY ARTS COPE ESj THE LIST 30 REG.
