WASHINGTON (AP) - New
claims for unemployment benefits
jumped sharply early this month and
housing starts fell in October, the
government said yesterday in reports
seen as evidence of a temporary set-
back for the economy rather than a
renewed slump.
The number of Americans filing
unemployment claims shot up by
31,000 to 386,000 for the week
ended Nov. 7, the Labor Department
said. It was the biggest increase in
three months and the highest level of
claim:: in six weeks.
Meanwhile, housing starts fell
1.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 1.23 million last
month after rising in August and
September, the Commerce
Department said.
Both reports were unexpectedly
bleak, but they did not shake ana-
lysts' belief that the economy is
growing- gradually and will continue
to improve in President-elect
Clinton's first year in office.
"It's two steps forward and one

step back," said economist Bruce
Steinberg of Merrill Lynch in New
York. "There are a lot of signs that
things are getting better and growth
is picking up, but these (reports) are
reminders that it's still a slow and
uneven process."
In the latest report, the number of
new claims probably reflected in
part temporary layoffs of construc-
tion workers following an early
snowstorm in the upper Midwest,
they said.
"This is just a temporary fly in
the ointment," said economist Mark
Zandi of Regional Financial
Associates in West Chester, Pa.
"Although we're not seeing a dra-
matic improvement in hiring yet, I
think the labor market is stabilizing
and the worst is behind us in terms
of job losses."
National claims figures are ad-
justed to screen out the effects of
normal seasonal fluctuations. The
numbers for individual states and for
the special emergency program are
not.

that legislation to raise fees and pro-
vide money is stalled in the
Legislature. Michigan is one of the
only states not to have provisions for
enforcement penalties written in to
state law.
Truscott said neither the gover-
nor's office nor the DNR have any.
control over pending legislation.
"We support the legislation, but
there is nothing we can do," Truscott
said. "It is certainly one of our top
priorities."

ELECTION

allocating this money toward MCC.
Rackham Rep. Roger DeRoo,
who has worked extensively on the
MCC membership issue, said he
was displeased with the results of
the vote.
"I'm disappointed. Maybe the
word didn't get out that the two
were related to each other. It was
worded poorly. I'll admit that,"
DeRoo said.
LSA sophomore Erika Gottfried,
who ran with the Progressive Party,
said she would like to continue
exploring students' viewpoints.
"I'd like to see more student
concerns brought up in the assem-
bly because they are the ones I
represent," Gottfried said.
School of Education junior Jeff
Parker, who ran with CC, said he
will be working on juggling his
time.
Some new representatives said
they were still getting over their
surprise at being elected to the
assembly.
"I think 'shocked' is the emo-
tion that comes to the forefront be-
cause I hardly campaigned - I
even went home to Chicago for the
weekend," said LSA junior Jeffrey
Alexander, who ran with PP.

u Ae - s
Michigan Student Assembly representative

the importance of the accused's right
to an attorney, they supported the
statement. "We need a code ...
Legally we have to have a code,"
Brown said.
During the meeting's public
comments session, students voiced
opposition to the current draft of the
policy.
"Do not assume that because I
am a person of color that I am
pleased with this code. Do not as-
sume, as many have, that because
I'm a woman, that I am pleased with
this code," said Amy Ellis, vice chair
of the Student Rights Commission,
in a public comment session after the
meeting.

DEBATE
Continued from page 1
that's a terrible disgrace."
But he said he had no regrets
about the way he handled his offi-
cers after the Rodney King beating.
"I've been accused of all kinds of
things in that incident," Gates said.
"A lot of people think I was actually
at the scene. But I was not and I did
what was right ... I think it is im-
portant that we investigate things
thoroughly, that we find out what
the facts are before we suspend our
officers - that's due process."
He criticized Detroit Police Chief
Stanley Knox for immediately sus-
pending his officers after the fatal
beating of Malice Green two weeks
ago without what he assumed to be a
proper investigation.
Strossen, however, pointed out
that Rodney King was not thor-
oughly questioned before being
beaten by the officers.
"All it requires to arrest some-
body, and to stop the normal course
of their life is probable cause," she
said. "Not proof beyond a reason-

able doubt. Why not use that same
standard in deciding whether or not
to suspend a police officer?"
She also addressed the
"dichotomy" that hasdeveloped in
society between police departments
and communities.
"We're not afraid of criminals
any more, we're afraid of police,"
she said, adding that the relationship
between police forces and the public
can be improved if police become
more accessible.
"We should not have to choose
between the freedom from abuse and
protection from other kinds of
crimes," she said.
"These sad patterns which seem
to have been lived out all over again
are a result of this buildup of frustra-
tion and rage and outrage."
Gates also addressed the issue of
anger and rage.
"Anger is corrosive," Gates said.
"It is all right to be angry if you
channel that anger into productive
things, but when you don't, you get
riots."

"I am asking you to support a
code that only supports federally-
mandated aspects of sexual harass-
ment," Ellis said, adding that she ob-
jected to the current draft on the
grounds that the amendment proce-
dure does not include a student vote.
Van Houweling agreed, saying he
is not against the idea of a code, but
this specific draft.
"Anyone can bring charges
within 30 miles (of the U-M).
Anyone can have their lawyer bring
a complaint," he said, adding that if
the accuser can have counsel, the ac-
cused should also be able to have
counsel.
"I'll continue working on this is-
sue. I'm forced to because the stu-
dents voted in a democratic forum
- not a survey," he added after the
policy's approval.
