Greek conference to
enhance le
by Soma Gupta
The University Greek community
- in an effort to promote leadership
skills - will unite this weekend for
its annual Greek Leadership
Conference (GLC).
The conference will host a variety
of seminars and dialogues on diverse
topics that affect students in fraterni-
ties and sororities such as commu-
* nity service and race relations.
"It's a great opportunity to hear
some great speakers. We learn a lot
about leadership and meet people
from all over the school," said
Gretchen Miller, Panhellenic judicial
vice president.
Tim Schuster, GLC finance direc-
tor, said the conference will cost
$15,000, much of which was do-
nated by local businesses.

Among the scheduled activities
will be keynote speaker Tim Jones,
a nationally-recognized orator from
Florida State University.
"People love Tim Jones. He's a
motivational speaker but he's very
down to earth. He gets the message
across," Schuster said.
GLC organizers said the event is
open to the public and they expect a
good turnout, considering that atten-
dance has steadily increased over the
past three years.
"The first year we had about 400
people, last year we had about 800,
and this year we think it's going to
be even bigger," said Polk Wagner,
president of the Interfraternity
Council and co-chair of the GLC.

tem to get together for an afternoon

Bill to ensure rights of
sexual assault survivors
by Andrew Taylor
Daily Government Reporter
Legislation to protect the rights
of sexual assault survivors could
soon be reintroduced into the
Statehouse.
The. Michigan Campus Sexual
Assault Victims' Bill of Rights Act
would require each college and uni-
versity in the state to establish a
written policy providing a fair legal
process for those who have had their
rights violated.
The bill passed the House unan-
imously last September, but died in
the Senate Judiciary Committee at
the end of the session.
"The House passed it last year,
but we ran out of time before the
Senate could pass it," said an aide
for State Rep. Tracey Yokich (D-St.
Clair), who introduced the bill last
session.
Yokich's aide said she thinks the
bill will pass this year.
"This bill would ensure that
schools treat the victims with dignity
and allow them to go through the le-
gal process with their case," she
said.
The bill would require that sexual
assault cases be handled by the
proper authorities and the survivor
not be encouraged by those authori-
ties to cover up the incident for any
reason.
The legislation would also man-
date that survivor's requests for sev-
eral services would be carried out.
Examples include that the survivor
be given a prompt medical examina-
tion and counseling from mental
health services, if requested.
Also, the institution would be re-
quired to act upon a survivor's re-
quest for secure housing and a trans-
fer of classes.
"Basically, I don't see anything
in there that we're not doing al-
ready," said Debi Cain, director of
the University's Sexual Assault
Prevention and Awareness Center.
"There's already federal legisla-
tion that provides for most of what
(the bill) is doing. I think their idea
is to reinforce what we are already
doing," Cain said.
Yokich's spokesperson said this
bill would require all universities to
have a written policy on sexual as-
sault to ensure that proper action is
taken.
The proposed legislation would
be tie-barred to ten other bills to
Proposed legislation in the
Statehouse would require
universities to draft a bill of
rights for survivors of sexual
assault. The policy would
require several procedures.
These include:
the institution must refer
sexual assault cases to the
proper authorities;
no one may encourage the
survivor to not fully report
the incident for any reason;
a survivor's request for
housing and a transfer of
classes must be honored by
the institution;
the survivor must be given
a medical examination if
requested; and,
suspects of sexual assault
can be given an examination,
as allowed by federal law.
provide financial sanctions against
universities that did not establish a
policy.
Many forms of state financial aid,
such as tuition grants, state competi-
tive scholarships, work study pro-
grams, and state-sponsored student
loans could be eliminated if an insti-
tution did not comply with the act.
After win, mock trial team heads to Iowa
by Randy Lebowitz
Aspiring attorneys at the
University are gaining first-hand lit-
igation experience and accumulating
awards along the way.
The University Mock Trial team

tion last weekend at the Lucas
County Courthouse in Toledo, Ohio.
The team beat out 21 competitors -
including Notre Dame University
and Ohio Northern University -
and finished with a record of eight
wins and one loss.
Team members also brought
home individual awards. LSA senior
*Derek Johnson, LSA junior Todd
Schoenhaus, and LSA sophomore
Kellie DuBay were recognized as
"best attorneys." LSA junior Kevin
Bartlett was named a "best witness."

indecent exposure
A University faculty member was
arrested yesterday for exposing him-
self in the Harlan Hatcher Graduate
Library.
University Department of Public
Safety (DPS) officers arrested
Associate Professor of Biology
Byron Doneen yesterday morning on
indecent exposure and disorderly
person-obscene conduct charges.
Doneen was arraigned yesterday
in the15th District Court.
He pleaded not guilty to both
counts and was released on a
personal recognizance bond.
The warrants were issued Jan. 28
after two complaints of indecent ex-
posure in the graduate library.
According to DPS reports of Jan.
17 and 19, Doneen would pretend to
read a book while waiting for the
victim to be alone, then expose him-
self.
Doneen faces a one-year jail term
or a $500 fine for the first count and
a 90-day jail term and/or a $100 fine
for the second count.
Biology Department officials said
they were unaware of Doneen's
arrest and had no comment.

Jewelry store
owners pistol-
whipped, robbed
The Ann Arbor Police
Department (AAPD) received a re-
port of armed robbery from
Schlanderer's Jewelry Store, located
at the corner of Church Street and
South University Avenue, Monday
afternoon at approximately 1:30 p.m.
Two suspects allegedly entered
the store asking to view some of the
top-line Rolex and Omega watches,
and then proceeded to beat the own-
ers in the head and face with their
pistols until they were able to take
the merchandise from the store. The
suspects fled the scene by foot.
One of the owners had her finger
broken during the struggle.
Police have described the sus-
pects as two men dressed in dark
clothing, one approximately 5-foot-
9, 195 pounds, and the other as 5-10,
to work, adding that the office inten-
tionally submitted her to emotional
distress.
The team is provided with ten
pieces of applicable law to prove
that sexual harassment did in fact
occur.
"A lot of people think that what it
means to be an attorney is what they
see on L.A. Law.... In this competi-
tion everyone comes out with a bet-
ter understanding of what goes on in
the courtroom," Rozovics said.
At the national competition, the
winning team gets the opportunity to
argue in front of three robe-clad
judges in the Iowa Supreme Court.
"This is an excellent program that
provides a realistic basis and experi-
ence for future litigators,"
Schoenhaus said.

a two-inch revolver and a handgun.
AAPD is continuing an
investigation of the incident.
Vandals strike
Angell Hall offices
Vandals broke into 25 offices in
Angell Hall last week, leaving be-
hind racist graffiti and stealing small
items such as prescription inhalers,
pens, stamps, and some cookies.
The vandals broke into the of-
fices of the departments of Classical
Studies, Mlathematics and
Philosophy as well as the Office of
Academic Advising and the
Hopwood Room.
But Lt. James Smiley of the
University Department of Public
Safety (DPS) said he believes the
break-ins and the graffiti incidents
are unrelated.
He said a homeless man is a sus-
pect in the break-ins, but he thinks
students may have been responsible
for the graffiti in an attempt to get
back at a professor.
Smiley said police found physical
evidence on the scene and inves-
tigations are continuing.
