The loss of the largest remaining department store in the downtown area has raised questions about what the city could have done to prevent Jacobson's move and the possible Executive officers oreview new code by Jennifer Silverberg Daily Administration Reporter The U-M Executive Officers met yesterday morning to discuss the newest draft of the Statement of * Student Rights and Responsibilities and, though there were a few ques- tions, response to the policy was positive. "They had a few questions about draft 12.2, about the limit and defini- tion of on- and off-campus, but I think all in all they were pretty happy with it," said Maureen Hartford, vice president for student *affairs. Hartford distributed copies of the new policy draft to the executive of- ficers Monday. Yesterday she ex- plained the policy for the first 10 minutes of the hour-long meeting before fielding questions. "They didn't ask for any changes to be made," Hartford said. "They seemed pretty comfortable with where it was and they felt good about the student input." Vice President for Research William Kelly said, "I thought over- all it was a very reasonable docu- ment. As an interim policy I, for one, think it's sound and responds to the view of most of the men and women on campus." Walter Harrison, executive direc- See CODE, Page 2 loss of other downtown stores. Steve Bergman, president of the State Street Area Association and owner of Schoolkid's Records SKR Classical, said, "We didn't want to see them go. It made us one of the most unique college towns. Most college towns serve only college students. Our downtown offers something for other residents of the city." Some store owners said they do not think Jacobson's departure from the downtown area will have a large 'My business doesn't depend on Jacobson's.

One store owner, Augusta Edwards, said she feels Jacobson's move will severely affect the area. "It's probably the beginning of the end." Edwards, whose store Maison Edwards has been in the Nickels Arcade for 30 years, said she has al- ways referred customers to Jacobson's and the store would al- ways send customers to her. "I grew fond of the place. I sent people there all the time. It was al- ways like a family. It's sad because it's a legend here," she said. In a statement made last week, Jacobson's representatives said the store's leaving has nothing to do with the city's actions regarding parking and safety. However, many store owners in the arcade blame the city for allowing Jacobson's to relocate. Many people have speculated See JACOBSON'S, Page 2 effect. "I think it is a very alive, fun place to work and a fun place to be," said Dooly Holek, designer at University Flower Shop. Elizabeth Rice, owner of Elizabeth Ann's, agreed with Holek.

Assembly voices concern WASHINGTON (AP) - The 102nd Congress stumbled toward adjournment yesterday, the House going home but the Senate staying on to face a $27 billion tax bill and stubborn stalling by dissenting lawmakers. House members approved the disputed tax bill on a 208-202 vote and left shortly after noon, presum- ably for the year - though they could return to session, if necessary. House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt told President Bush in a telephone call: "We have now sent our members home. Our legislative effort has been completed." He said the House's adjournment would take effect officially once the Senate concludes. But no one was sure when that would be. The Senate was recessing for the Jewish Yom Kippur holy day yesterday evening, but planned to return tomorrow. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell said the Senate may drag on until Saturday or even into next week. The uncertainty in the Senate threw into doubt not just the tax bill but a smattering of other bills passed by the House but left in limbo by Senate inaction. Among them was an anti-carjacking bill, a housing bill that would raise the limits on FHA home loans, and a major energy bill. Republicans said that even if Democrats manage to dislodge the tax bill, Bush might veto it. Lawmakers in both parties were in a rush to return home to campaign for re-election. But adjournment, already put off by one day, became elusive when Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, a New York Republican battling for re-election, snarled the Senate in a 15-hour fili- buster over the tax bill after it cleared the House early yesterday morning. D'Amato's filibuster was an un- conventional one; he wasn't so much seeking to obstruct the bill as to demand that a deleted provision be restored - one designed to pro- vide relief for New York state type- writer-factory workers facing loss of their jobs. Aided by a pair of sympathetic senators, D'Amato gamely held the floor through the night and beyond noon. His talk turned to song a few times. He sang "Deep in the Heart of Texas," a pointed reference to the tax-writing Finance Committee Chairman Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) and "South of the Border," a refer- ence to where he said New York state jobs were headed. over code draft by Robin Litwin Daily MSA Reporter Michigan Student Assembly representatives acknowledged the improvements in the latest copy of the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities but voiced concern over changes involving the docu- ment's jurisdiction at last night's meeting.

But Walter Harrison, executive director of U-M relations, says President James Duderstadt and his wife Anne really do live in the large white house on South University Ave. that so often mysti- fies students. "The president lives (in the President's House) 365 days a year. It is his full-time residence," Harrison said.

"There is a strong tradition that a U-M president live in the President's House. President Duderstadt felt that he should con- tinue that long tradition," Harrison commented. However, some U-M students said they can't believe that Duderstadt lives in the house. "I've seen cars (at the President's House),but I don't think that he really lives there. I've never seen anyone come in or out of that house," said Engineering ju- nior Ken Davis. Senior LSA student Aimee Marquis agreed with Davis, adding "vP, hePn here fnr f r never-nda Bush administration urged the Supreme Court yesterday to keep federal judges fi-om stopping ahor- tion clinic blockades, but a lawyer for clinic owners said that would cripple abortion rights. Justice Department lawyer John Roberts Jr. said the administration does not defend the tactics of Operation Rescue members and other anti-abortion protesters who block access to clinics, but he argued state courts. Those who engage in unllawf'ul acts at clinics lack the necessary motive - ill will toward women - to bring their conduct under federal scrutiny, Roberts said. "'they are targeting (women) not because of who they are but because of what they are doing," he said. Deborah Ellis, a lawyer repre- senting Virginia abortion clinic op- erators, said removing federal court blockades would leave women with- out adequate protection. But .Jay Sekulow, Operation Rescue's lawyer, said his clients op- pose abortion, not women. The right of women to have an abortion is not directly at issue in the case, but rather a federal law which bans conspiracies aimed at violating someone's constitutional rights.
