Neither side of the Columbus Day debate seems to ackowledge the other. What people need to realize is both the significance of the event and the historical consequences.

More than 60 students, U-M administrators and community members met in the MLB to discuss the latest version - draft 12.2 - of the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities. A student moderator directed questions and comments from the S audience to a panel of four U-M administrators: Maureen Hartford, vice president for student affairs; Elsa Cole, U-M general counsel; Virginia Nordby, associate vice president for student affairs; and Royster Harper, dean of students and associate vice president for student See FORUM, Page 2 Presidential debate has little effect on race What's wrong with this picture? Infrared film provides a different view of fall at U-M yesterday afternoon. Week encourages student abilities Associated Press Bill Clinton said yesterday, "We held our own," in the first of three presidential debates. President Bush said, "I think I did okay," but some aides said he had missed chances to confront his challenger vigorously. The Bush and Clintonz camps agreed that Ross Perot - had helped his cause. The polls indicated the 90- R minute con- frontation had done little to al- ter the trend in the race for the White House. g "In the last Bush four years, there has been a decline ... in the whole United States of America, a decline of 35,000 jobs in private in- dustry," Clinton said in South Philadelphia. Bush also campaigned in Pennsylvania. He passed the word through aides that he was ready to jettison his top economic advisers in a second term. He also said Clinton "has absolutely no experience in in- ternational matters, and I am the president who has led the world and made these kids safer." Bush was in Holland, Michigan yesterday as well, and while he did not mention Sunday night's debate, Republican Gov. John Engler intro- duced the president by saying Bush "hit a home run last night." Many in the crowd, however, said Bush didn't impress them in the debate and that his showing only added to their indecisiveness about the Nov. 3 election. Political analysts have said Bush needs to win Michigan in order to have a chance of winning the elec- tion. Michigan GOP National Committee member Charles Yob said the GOP is counting on the traditionally Republican vote of southwestern Michigan to win the state for Bush. In 1988, Bush won 75 percent of the vote in Ottawa County. Some aides conceded privately that Bush had failed to inflict serious damage on Clinton during the debate. On taxes, reforming the legal sys- tem and other areas, the aides said, he had not carried the fight to Clinton. "Our objective was to keep him calm, keep him presidential," said one aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, who said a more combative Bush might have ap- peared less so. "The preliminary reports are that Perot came up and Bush dropped and we held our own," Clinton said. "So if Perot is getting his votes from Mr. Bush and the undecided ... that's not going to change our campaign any." VP caridates plan for debate ATLANTA (AP) - The presi- dential campaign spotlight now shifts to Dan Quayle, Al Gore and James Stockdale as the three running mates square off for their only debate. For Quayle, the showdown tonight in Atlanta could be espe- cially critical. Not only is President Bush in dire need of a campaign lift, but, if the Bush-Quayle ticket loses in November, this may be the vie president's last showcase opportu- nity for a long while to bolster his chances for a run at the top job is 1996. Gore, too, could have more than just top-of-the-ticket interests at stake, since he also is regarded as a presidential prospect.

"The purpose of this week is to help students with disabilities fo- cus on their own abilities, while helping employers as well as the general public notice their abili- ties," said Brian Claphorn, coordi- nator of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for the U- M affirmative action office. Claphorn said Investing in Abilities Week was first created by former Michigan Gov. James Blanchard. The U-M first held on- campus activities to acknowledge the week in 1990.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed in 1990, requires the university to provide accessibility for disabled students by Jan. 26, 1995, said Brian Clapham, coordinator of the ADA with the U-M's affirmative action office. The older buildings on campus need more renovations because of their age and the way they were designed, Clapham said. He said it also costs more money to go back and redesign and improve older buildings. "The new buildings are well designed and for the most part are quite good," Clapham said. Although modifications have been made to several university buildings, some students say the campus is still inaccessible. "You have to know the right ways to get in buildings. I have seen improvements, but I guess it takes a long time. It would be re- ally helpful to install automatic doors. Those are really helpful. I can't always rely on people," said Melissa Hafeli, a junior in the School of Education.

Children died in stam- pedes out of swaying schools and rescuers struggled into the night to dig survivors from debris. The midafternoon quake regis- tered 5.9 on the Richter scale and was centered about 20 miles south- west of Cairo. People thronged Cairo's streets after the quake. One woman stood 0 on a sidewalk screaming while a knot of people sat in a downtown square, tears streaking down their cheeks. Thousands of people crowded around the ruins of a 14-story apart- ment building in the suburb of Heliopolis late yesterday while four n quake bulldozers cleared debris under floodlights. An ambulance worker said five people were pulled alive from the rubble before nightfall. There was no word on whether anyone died there. In a dispatch late yesterday, Egypt's government-owned Middle East News Agency said reports from provincial security officials indi- cated that at least 200 people had been killed and 2,300 injured. nationwide. The official toll in the capital was eight dead and 230 injured, but the Middle East News Agency quoted a "reliable police source" as saying 130 died and 2,000 were injured in Cairo. Seven schoolchildren were killed and about 100 were injured during stampedes in Cairo neighborhoods, said Maj. Gen. Rida Abdel-Aziz, an assistant interior minister. Caller ID will be available to eavisome students'p by Megan Lardner A telephone service that screens incoming calls will soon be available to U-M students living off-campus. Automatic Number Identification (ANI), also known as Caller ID, is a service allowing a subscriber to screen the numbers of incoming calls on a special display hooked up to the telephone. The service has sparked debate about privacy rights, especially for people calling anonymous police tip lines and crisis hotlines. All numbers, including private and unlisted, are displayed. But callers may block their numbers from being screened by entering a set code when making, a call. The service will begin in some off-campus neigh, borhoods Nov. 1. Michigan Bell has already installed Caller ID services in many areas of Michigan. Caller ID probably will not be an option for students living in residence halls anytime soon, said Steve Mayo, manager of U-M telecommunications. The U-M has no current plans to implement Caller ID, but Mayo said it should not be completely ruled out for future use. Installation in U-M residence halls would be expen- sive, and would require a complete reorganization of Don't interrupt Brother Jed Smock, a born-again Christian, argues about religion, Colombus and the rights of women and homosexuals with Mike Freidman, an LSA sophomore. .
