The Michigan Daily- Friday, April16, 1993- Page 3 Environmental fair foiled by wet weather March will show support network among women by Scot Woods Daily Staff Reporter For the second year in a row, na- ture interfered with the Earth Week Information Fair. Morning rains yesterday caused organizers to call off the event, sched- uled to run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Diag. Last year, cold weather sent the fair indoors and organizers said student turnout was low. Payal Parekh, an SNRE sopho- more and member of the MSA Envi- ronmental Issues Commission (EIC), said the rain caused several problems. The fair format called for local environmental organizations to setup informational tables on the Diag, but Parekh said, "People don't want to sit three hours in the rain, and (students) won't stop in the rain." Organizers also arranged for The Impatients, a local band, to play dur- ing the event, but feared wet condi- tions would make using electrical sound equipment dangerous. SNRE junior Linda Stalker, also an EIC member, said the cancellation is a setback. "It's really unfortunate for all the groups who wanted to participate," she said, adding that 15 organiza- tions were to be represented. Because the event comes so late in the year, it cannot be rescheduled. Stalker said the Diag policy re- quires three business days advance notice to get electricity, but the Diag was already reserved for next Tues- day, the first day power would be available. Tuesday is alsothe lastday the Diag can be reserved this term, since the policy prohibits its use dur- ing exams. However, the weather has not dampened organizers' optimism. Former EIC Chair Stuart Kaplan said, "We're already planning a fair for early September." Parekh added that after two years of weather problems, organizers have learned their lesson. "Next year, we'll plan it for the first day (of Earth Week), so we can reschedule for later in the week," she said. KRISTOFFER GILLETTE/Daily by Jon DiMascio Daily Gender Issues Reporter Despite a snowy weather forecast, thousands of Ann Arbor women will march through the streets of Ann Arbor tomorrow for the 14th annual Take Back theNightto show the world thatwomen supporteach other, organizers predicted. LSA sophomoreNeg Mahmood said Take Back the Night is, "a symbol of women's right to walk around safely at night. Everyone will notice." Take Back the Night activities begin at 7 p.m. with a rally at City Hall. Speakers will address rape in the former Yugoslavia, women in prison, survivor space and rape reform laws. A women- only march around the city will follow the rally. After the procession, participants will conclude the evening with a dance. Marchers can sway to the tunes of fa- mous female artists such as Suzanne Vega, Queen Latifah, PatBenetar, Gloria Estefan and the University's own Ma- donna - until the authorities ask them to leave. Also presented at the rally will be the winners of SAPAC's "Sexism in Advertising" contest. 'This isn't an exclusionary event. To have women feel they can look to other women for support - it's a safe space for women," Mahmood said. Preeti Garg, an LSA sophomore, said men and women address rape dif- ferently and they deserve equal impor- tance. The group said no specific theme was slated for the march, but Mahmood said it wanted to stress the international aspect of rape. That is why they attracted Natalie Menadic as a speaker, Mahmood said. Richard Salsman speaks last night Nenadic is a University law researcher who is currently working with media starandUniversity Law Prof.Catharine MacKinnon in a case against Bosnian war crimes. The group described the severity of violence against women in Bosnia. "It's a genocidal act. They're using the penis as a weapon - as a gun," Mahmood said. Although the march is primarily di- rected to the safety of women, organiz- ers said the event should be nonexclusionary.Men will conduct their own rally as the women parade the streets of Ann Arbor. The men's rally begins with an in- troduction of all the men in attendance. University students Ryan Bradley andPolkWagner will speakatthemen' s rally, and Homeless Action Committee member Corey Dolgon will sing. Organizers of themen'srally agreed that rape is partially caused by socially constructed values, but men need to discuss ways to stop the construction's, continuance. Aaron Ahlstrom, an RC sophomore said, "We as men can think about how we can stop rape - how we've been constructed - how sexism is dehu- maizing for both women and men." "In our culture men learn alot about sex that's not a shared experience that's consensual - 'you're going to fuck her,"' he said. Ann Arbor resident Gaia Kale said, 'We come from different perspectives. As boys, we grew up with a lot of essentially misinformation fed to us by a patriarchal society." The group said more than 1,000 women marched in the event last year. Panelists dispute merits of environmentalism by Andrew Taylor Environmentalists of the world were the subject of harsh criticism last night at Rackham Auditorium. Richard Sanford, president of the Society for Objective Science, said the goal of environmentalism is "to destroy industry and civilized man." More than 300people gathered to hear similar assertions at "The Case Against Environmentalism: Moral, Economic, and Scientific," discus- sion, sponsored by the U-M Students of Objectiveness. "Without exception the environ- mental crisis you hear about every- day is grossly exaggerated," Sanford said."The ozone crisis is as full of holes as the warming crisis is full of hot air." Sanford proceeded to show a series of statistics supporting his notion that most environmental problems are caused by nature, not humans. "The Earth's temperature is going to do what it's going to do no matter how much (carbon dioxide) man pumps into the atmosphere," Sanford said. LSA Senior Sam McDonald coun- tered, "I guess that just shows that you can prove any argument with statistics. You can't convince me that all of the things mankind has done to the planet have a negligible effect." Richard Salsman, president of the Association forObjectiveBusinessmen, turned the discussion toward an eco- nomical perspective. "Man survives by transforming his environment," Salsman said. "If man is to survive manmust live under a system of capitalism." Salsman elaborated by describing the environmental movement as amod- ern version of socialism. He said he feels the opponents of capitalism have failed in their efforts to prove that the system exploits workers and the poor, so they now claim capital- ism thrives at the expense of the envi- ronment. "If the depletion or extinction of a species like the spotted owl best serves the needs of man, that is entirely pref- erable and acceptable," Salsman said. He added, "Americans are not in- terested in sacrificing their jobs for plants, animals, rocks and the bio- sphere." Peter Schwartz, a board of direc- tors member at the Ayn Rand Institute spoke on a similar position. "In all major environmental con- flicts... the issue is whetherman's life is subordinate to nature," he said. ;United Nations barred from evacuating Muslims in TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina(AP) -Local commanders barred theUnited Nations today from evacuating hundreds nore Muslims from Serb-ringed Srebrenica, and insisted that wounded soldiers be flown out first. Despite harsh criticism from U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros- Ghali,BosnianSerbsrainedmoreshells on the eastern Bosnian enclave where dozens died Monday. £ And Croat-Muslim clashes in central Bosnia were reported raging for a second day. U.N. aid officials said a humanitarian convoy of five trucks brought aid into Srebrenica but left with only five elderly women, who wereplacedonboardatruckthatheaded to Tuzla, 35 miles to the northwest. Theoriginal plan, asinpastmissions, had been to pluck hundreds of Muslim civilians to safety from the government- held town. ButJohn McMilan, a representative for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, said Srebrenica officials had blocked the evacuation until 500 wounded Muslim soldiers could be airlifted out. "They wouldn't let us load," McMillan said. McMillan said the agency would sendnomore convoys to Srebrenica for several days. The town's Muslim-led defenders have blocked evacuations before, saying Very, very tough sanctions will come into effect if Bosnian Serbs do not move to an agreement soon.' - Reginald Bartholomew U.S. envoy to former Yugoslavia Serb-ringed Karadzic on Wednesday alleged the shelling was done by Muslim forces eager to increase world indignation at his forces. Earlier, Karadzic said Serbs had shelled after Muslim provocations. Serbs, Muslims andCroats have been warring for more than a year over Bosnia's secession from Serb- dominated Yugoslavia. The arrival of several aid convoys has given some relief recently to tens of thousands of residents and refugees in the town, but the situation remains desperate. McMillan said medical staff could not cope and an average of five people Srebrenica were dying daily of infection. Sources in Tuzla say the Serbs have closed to within a mile of Srebrenica, whose fall would be a devastating blow to the government. President Clinton's envoy to former Yugoslavia, Reginald Bartholomew, used the threat of stiffer sanctions to press Serbs to sign a U.N. peace plan partitioning Bosniainto 10autonomous provinces. 'Very, very tough sanctions will come into effect if Bosnian Serbs do not move to an agreement soon, Bartholomew warned in Zagreb, Croatia. theU.N. trucks were open to Serb attack and that an exodus would weaken the town's defense. Srebrenica is one of three eastern Bosnian enclaves still under the control of the Muslim-led government, and its fall would be a devastating blow to the government cause. Boutros-Ghali condemned a Serb attack that killed 56 people Monday as an "inexcusable assault on civilians." "I urgently call upon the Bosnian Serb forces in the area to halt their unjustifiable attacks, which have occurred despite explicit assurances to the contrary from their military and political leaders," Boutros-Ghali said in a statement.
