board that the combination of four
renewal requests be combined to
form one of these requests - the
Central Campus Renovation Project.
An estimated $58,500,000 will
be used to complete this project
which will include work in West
Engineering and renovations at C.C.
Little, Angell Hall and the Frieze
Building.
The U-M has already chosen the

may have biased perspectives that
affect their police work, but he said
he has worked to eliminate depart-
ment-wide racism.
"We certainly don't have any
outward racism that I'm aware of,"
Smith said. "But at the same time, I
am not Polly Anna ... Certainly
we've got work to be done, but
we've got to look for solutions and
not focus on the problem."
Instruction Center, a building to be
located on North Campus that will
include libraries, computer equip-
ment and other facilites for the engi-
neering, music, art and architecture
schools.
Plans will also be presented to
the board to approve the construc-
tion of a $6,850,000 addition to the
Undergraduate Library (UGLi),
which will house the science li-
braries. The money is part of a $62.5
million university-sponsored bond
issue approved last spring.
"It will expand a little on all sides
and build a new facade of brick,"
said Walter Harrison, executive di-
rector of university relations. "It will
be the same building but a different
face that will match the architecture
of the Graduate Library and West
Engineering."
The board will be asked to ap-
prove the addition design, a
$4,000,000 renovation of the exist-
ing library and $200,000 for offices
on the connecter bridge from West
Engineering to the UGLi.

Karen Sabgir contributed to this
report.
Smith said he has made an ac-
tive effort to make his officers un-
derstand that racist behavior will
not be tolerated. He said he has also
made efforts to recruit patrol offi-
cers with diverse backgrounds to
ensure ethnic tolerance.
"Cultural awareness is more
than just sensitivity training - it
goes beyond," he .said. "Officers
have to understand what their au-
thority figure means to certain
cultures."
Two cultural consultants are
employed by AAPD to conduct
awareness seminars, Smith said.
"As chief you have total respon-
sibility for what goes on in the
street," Smith said. "You shouldn't
have to wait for a death to begin
dealing with these issues."
DPS has also hired cultural con-
sultants and requires its officers to
attend a 32- hour seminar on cul-
tural diversity.
But RC senior Senanu Asamoah
said despite police efforts, he is still
skeptical of the department.
"I don't like police officers," he
said. "When I'm into trouble I see
them as the problem. Police respect
the status quo and they serve to pre-
serve it. Racism is the status quo.
They perpetuate it."
He said he and many of his
friends have been stopped
"unnecessarily by police."
LSA senior Erik Thorne said he
has also been detained by Ann Ar-
bor police.
"I've been placed in custody for
driving without my license,"
Thorne said. "But I don't know if
you want to call it racism. I see it as
a fear."
DEBATE
Continued from page 1
bers of RSG and those associated
with the Baker Mandela Center
(BMC), will host their own debate
on the steps outside. The BMC sent
Gates a "disinvitation" to speak on
campus last week.
"Hopefully we'll be having a se-
rious discussion about police brutal-
ity," Buchan said. "I totally disagree
that the debate inside is a serious
debate of criminal justice."
Lisa Tafuri, co-producer of
UAC/Viewpoint - which is spon-
soring the debate withLSA Student
Government - disagreed.
'I totally disagree that
the debate inside is a
serious debate of
criminal justice.'

RSG president
"They have a right to be upset
that he's coming here, but I don't
understand why they would say we
shouldn't have brought him here,"
she said. "The issue of police brutal-
ity is one of the biggest issues facing
us in 1992 and who better to speak
about it than the chief of police of
Los Angeles during the L.A. riots?"
Tafuri said the debate's sponsors
will be distributing literature ex-
plaining their reasons for funding
the $10,000 debate.
TRANSITION
Continued from page 1
Fund, the advocacy group that his
wife once led. Pamela Harriman,
Washington hostess and Democratic
fund raiser, invited the Clintons to
her Georgetown mansion this
evening.
Clinton and his wife, Hillary,
flew into town on a chartered plane,
its cost subsidized by the dozens of
reporters who accompanied them.
The Clintons were staying in the
presidential suite of the luxury Hay-
Adams Hotel, with a commanding
view of Lafayette Park and the
White House.
Mrs. Clinton planned to visit the
White House today for a tour of the
private living quarters by Barbara
Bush.
As Clinton's limousine arrived at
the White House, Bush strode from
the Oval Office to greet him.
The president escorted Clinton to
the colonnade in front of the Rose
Garden where they smiled and shook
hands again for the benefit of the
cameras but declined to answer
questions.
They met in the Oval Office for
an hour and 45 minutes. A White
House statement called it "a warm
and informative conversation."
Clinton said that Bush "was very
helpful to me. We talked about a
couple of domestic issues and .more
than a dozen actual or potential
trouble spots in the world. He wad
very candid. He gave me the benef)
of his thinking on a lot of things. It
went a half-hour longer than ex<
pected. It was terrific."
Clinton and Bush went next door
to the Roosevelt Room where
transition leaders for each man were
meeting. Bush said he wanted .
smooth transition and that he.
"appreciated the
task that lay ahead of the;
transition team," the statement said.;
'He was very candid,
hegavemealotof
insights. The American
people should be
pleased.'
--Bill Clinton:
President-elect:
Bush was represented by his:
transition chief, Transportation .
Secretary Andrew Card, and two
other administration leaders, Chase;
Untermeyer and Bob Zoellick.
Clinton was represented by
Jordan and other leaders of the
transition team: Warren Christophe,
Alexis Herman and Mark Gearat.
Their discussions focused on-
procedures for making
appointments, including FBI cleas-
ances and financial disclosure forms.

and then seen at Beth Israel, where
the suspect broke the window and
was arrested after a short chase.
Cooper added that the suspect
talked at the scene saying he blamed
Jews for murder, extortion and as-
sault, and had previously spray-
painted "Jews" in green paint on
Hillel.hMiller also saidat the scene
that he would continue these
activities after he was released from
jail.
The arraignment was suspended
to allow Miller to cooperate. When
he was brought back in to the court-
room by police officers, an outburst
of profanity followed and Judge
Thomassen ordered his mouth taped.
HOMELESS

Sleep-Out, which consisted of a
walking tour of downtown Ann Ar-
bor, pizza and hot chocolate, speak-
ers, a slide show, educational games
and skits, and a discussion.
Speakers touched on a wide vari-
ety of topics, ranging from the lack
of low-income housing in Ann Arbor
to the special problems faced by the
homeless who are mentally ill.
"I think educating yourself is the
first thing. Until we know why there
is a problem, we can't change it,"
said Jeri Schneider, a member of the
Homeless Action Committee. "We
need to look at who controls re-
sources and put pressure on those
people."
The committees also collected
canned food donations that will be
given to the Bryant Community
Center.
Though the turnout was low, vol-
unteers were optimistic.
"I think it's a busy time in stu-
dents' lives. Plus, 'Malcolm X'
The proceedings continued a,
Thomassen ordered a court-ap-
pointed attorney for Miller, set bail
at $10,000 for each incident, and
sent Miller back to the Washtenaw
County Jail to await his preliminary
hearing.
The suspect also confessed to
about a dozen other incidents in the
past few months against Jewish
houses of worship.
The charges of ethnic intimida=
tion arose from a relatively new state
law that specifically charges some
one with intent to damage, deface, or
destroy property specifically because
of a person or group's race or
religion. Miller's case is one of the
first in Ann Arbor to be tried under
this law.

chair of hunger and homelessness for
Project SERVE.
Other volunteers were less
optimistic.
"We have about thirty people
here tonight for the Sleep-Out, but iis
April there will be 7,000 people on
the Diag rallying for the right to
smoke marijuana legally during
Hash Bash," said Peggy Pews, a
volunteer speaker.
"It's sad, but she's right," Grose
said.

"I cannot stress how much re{

member of this community to aid the
homeless. Homeless people are ha-
rassed by police and ignored by stu-
dents every day on this campus. We
