Clinton, Bush court state Reagan Dems. by David Carrel and Melissa Peerless Daili Staff Reporters STERLING HEIGHTS - Democratic Presidential Candidate Bill Clinton returned to Macomb County yesterday in an effort to woo back Reagan Democrats in Michigan. New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and Clinton - who has made two previous campaign stops in Macomb County - addressed about 10,000 people at Adlai Stevenson High School in Sterling Heights. Meanwhile, President George Bush spoke to the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Detroit. Bush criticized Clinton's anti- crime program, and touted his own plan for toughening penalties for criminals. "People who act like animals have no place in decent society," he said. "Thugs who take cars at gun- point should spend so long in jail that when they get out they are too old to drive." Bush, in his speech to police of- ficials, said Congress has been blocking his anti-crime plan, which includes strengthening laws against domestic and sexual violence, since 1989. Bill Hamilton, a volunteer from Clinton's campaign headquarters in Little Rock, Ark., said Clinton came to Sterling Heights to secure votes in Michigan. "Michigan is a very competitive state. It has gone Republican in the last three elections, but Michigan voter registration is mostly Democratic," he said. "Macomb County is unique as a home to Reagan Democrats. This county has high unemployment. A lot of people are hurting - people who were willing to take a chance on George Bush four years ago. Now they are See RALLIES, Page 2 Perot begins campaign tour with attacks on character FLEMINGTON, N.J. (AP) - Ross Perot began to campaign in person yesterday and joined the debate over character for the first time, casting himself as more reliable than President Bush or Bill Clinton. Perot made the first face-to-face appearance of his revived campaign be- fore an enthusiastic crowd of tens of thousands at a stock car track. He also planned to speak to a rally in Pittsburgh later in the day. "If you are going into combat and you could take any of the three of us, who would you want on your side?" Perot asked the cheering crowd at Flemington Speedway. "If you were takenyhostage in a foreign country, which one of the candi- dates do you think would come in and get you?" said Perot. "All'three candidates go over to your house one night and want to bor- row money from you. Which one would you lend money to?" he asked above uproarious laughter from the crowd.

Regent hopeful stresses open ties *This is the first in a three-part series on the non-incumbant candidates running for the U-M Board of Regents by Karen Sabgir Daily Administration Reporter Larry Deitch, Democratic candi- date for the U-M Board of Regents, said his passion for politics -is as old as the presidential campaign poster of John F. Kennedy that hangs in his den - dating back more than 30 years. "I get passionate about voting. I think it is a great privilege. I think the choice in the regents' campaign is clear in what we believe in." Deitch - an attorney in private practice specializing in corporate; real estate and banking law in Southfield, Mich. - is a member of the Michigan Civil Service Deitch Commission and the treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party. Deitch has campaigned for various state Democrats, including Gov. James Blanchard and Sen. Carl Levin. Deitch, who hails from Bloomfield Hills, is one of four can- didates running for the U-M Board of Regents. Each of the eight mem- bers of the board is elected for an eight-year term. U-M President James Duderstadt serves on the board, but does not vote. There are two seats open this year. One was vacated after the Michigan Republican Party did not endorse Regent Veronica Smith (R- Grosse Ile) for re-election. Regent Neal Nielsen's (R-Brighton) term ends in November, but he is running for re-election. Deitch said accessibility to the students - a major part of a regent's constituency - is important and added that it is the regents' respon- sibility to consult with students. "I'm thinking about the idea of having office hours," Deitch said. He said he wants to find ways to open communication between stu- dents and regents before and after important decisions are made - like tuition increases and implementation of the conduct code. "We do have a responsibility to the taxpayers, but we have to strive for a consensus and let people know that (decisions) were honestly and conscientiously arrived at."

But people attending, "Sexual Assault: The Greek Perspective," tackled issues such as combating sexual assault in the Greek system and improving communications between men and women in party situations. About 50 students attended the discussion, co-sponsored by the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) and the Project on Intergroup Relations and Conflict (IRC). Each fraternity and sorority house was supposed to send five representatives to yesterday's event, SAPAC peer educator and sorority member Elizabeth Galani said. "I think its really pathetic when only 50 of about 2,500 people show up," Galani said. "The lack of concern over this issue is an embarrassment." Interfraternity Council President Bruce Namerow said he felt the low attendance could have been a result of Homecoming Weekend. "You have to start somewhere," Namerow said. "I think the small steps all add up to the bigger picture See SAPAC, Page 2 Men speak out on effects of sexual assault as part of week by Karen Talaski Daily Gender Issues Reporter When Phil started college, he had no idea he would become the one man out of 10 who is sexually abused. Joe, the man who allegedly abused him, was a successful busi- ness man in his mid- to late-50s. "He was very charismatic. He made you feel very loved and wanted," Phil said. "I spent much of my youth looking for a dad. Joe gained my trust and gave me physi- cal comfort as a dad. But I hated myself because it progressed into sexual intimacy." An audience of about 30 people listened to Phil's story yesterday as part of the Eighth Annual Sexual Assault Awareness Week sponsored by the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC).
