The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 13, 1993 - 5 Bargains abound at Kiwanis Club Fall Sale By JENNIFER TIANEN DAILY STAFF REPORTER Disappointed football goers who were unable to attend the Kiwanis Fall Sale over the weekend should notsink deeper into depression when they realize that they missed out on aNotre Dame defeat and good deals at the sale. Luckily for them, there are more bargains tocome. WhiletheKiwanis ClubofDowntown Ann Arborholds two major sales each year- the Fall Sale and a Christmas Sale - volun- teers staff the Kiwanis Activity Cen- ter every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon for local shoppers. "We sell between $1,000 to $2,000 worth of things every Satur- day," said Fred Sanchez, a Kiwanis member and volunteer. "We made $11,272 for the fall sale." Sanchez cited useful items at in- expensive prices as the key to every 'Our objective Is to build better people and create better places in this world.' - Fred Sanchez Kiwanis member and volunteer sale's success. "A lot of that stuff went out the door for 25 cents," he noted. Students and area residents alike snatched up bargains left and right on furniture, appliances, clothing, baby items, hardware, housewares and more. Rumor has it the Kiwanis Club supplies Shakey Jake with his famous white, patent leather shoes. However, the local minstrel wasn'tspotted at the sale this year, Sanchez said. More than 100 charities will reap benefits from the results of the sale.

"I really believe it's a win-win situation," Sanchez said. Area high school students will also profit through scholarships provided by the Kiwanis Club.

"Our objective is to build better people and create better places in this world." The Kiwanis Club accepts dona- tions on arolling basis and is located at First and West Washington streets, north of the Blind Pig. NAFTA pros, conS come to MEchigan ASSMIATED PRESS Michigan will be one battleground this week for the North American Free Trade Agreement, with opponents and supporters visiting the state to make their pitches. On Monday, U.S. Senate Republi- can Leader Robert Dole of Kansas speaks to the Detroit Economic Club, andon Saturday, U.S. Sen. PhilGramm, R-Texas, will be on Mackinac Island to push NAFTA. Also on Saturday, Texas billionaire Ross Perot and Democratic U.S. Sen. DonaldRiegle will holdan anti-NAFTA rally in Flint. Michigan's strong unions and solid manufacturing base make the state source of support for both detractors and defenders. For example, Perot tapped anti- NAFTA sentiment at his rallies in June in Grand Rapids, Flint and Macomb County. But major Michigan manufac- turers such as General Motors Corp., DOW Chemical Co. and ChryslerCorp. want the agreement ratified. In Washington, theU.S. House Ways and Means Committee opens NAFTA hearings this week. UnderNAFTA, tariffs andotherbar- riers to the movement of goods, ser- vices and investment among the United States, Canada and Mexico would be eliminated over 15 years, creating the world's largest and richest trading bloc. Opponents contend it will cost U.S. jobs, as companies flee to Mexico to employ workers who earn far less. "Michigan is the most vulnerable state, with a half a million jobs at risk under NAFTA," said Jon Ogar of Michigan's AFL-CIO.

Dems begin '94 campaign to put Anybody Bu 'in office Dunk tank and baloney sculpture tout Republican governor as start to publicity blitz LANSING (AP) - Democrats launch the second part of their "Any- body But Engler" drive today with a fund-raiser that features a John Engler look-alike in a dunk tank, plus a baloney sculpture of the governor. About 800 Democrats are expected to attend the Warren event and shell out $50 apiece fora chance to soak the look- alike and watch the creation of the lunchmeat statue. Steve Gools, a spokesperson for the state Democratic Party, said organizers decided on baloney for the sculpture because they believe that'swhatEngler's policies are. Engler spokesperson Rusty Hills said the Republican governor wasn't wor- ried. "The Republicans are trying to re- form education and the Democrats are fooling around with baloney. I think that accurately sums up the difference with the two parties," he said Friday. "I'd like to think they could come up with something better to offer in terms of public policy than fooling around with baloney and dunk tanks. "I don't think all this folderol means anything to the average voter and frankly, it shouldn't. It is a long, long time between now and the election in 1994. The last thing on the voters' minds now is worrying about the governor's race or any other race in 1994." The state Democratic Party launched it's "Anybody But Engler" effort sev- eral months ago. The Democrats have made periodic attacks on the governor's record and Gools said that will con- tinue. The plan's second phase will be raising some $1.5 million for next year's election, he said. He added the third part will be creating a grass roots organiza- tion for the party's nominee to take over the day after the Aug. 2 primary. Three Democrats - state Sen. Debbie Stabenow, state Rep. Lynn Jondahl, and former U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe, all of Lansing - already are in the gubernatorial race, but they'll be too focused on winning the nomination to build a statewide organization aimed at winning theNov. 8 election, Gools said. We want to make sure that when all is said and done and we have our candi- date next year that we. have a good chance to nail John Engler," he said. Hills said Engler's view is "the vot- ers want us to focus on governing, not politicking, they want us to get things done and that's the way it should be. There's plenty of work to be done and tha's what we want to do." But political consultant and pollster Steve Mitchell said Engler can't afford to ignore the Democratic effort. "I think they absolutely have to be worried about that. The governor only won with a margin of 17,000 votes in 1990 and when you win with that kind of margin you're not starting out with a mandate by any means," said Mitchell, "He's done a number of controver- sial things in his administration. The whole education package is up in the air and how that plays out will affect what will happen." FOR YOUR EYE EXAMS & EYEGLASSES cichardson' Calvin Klein e y e w e a r STUDENT DISCOUNTS 320 S.

IIp r Aspin: Half of troops in Bosnia would be American BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -U.S. military planners believe that roughly 50,000 peacekeepers would be needed to implement a possible Bosnia peace accord, and about half the troops would be American, Defense Secretary Les Aspin said yesterday. In remarks at a defense conference in Brussels, Aspin said that no final decisions had been made and he pre- dicted it would be hard to get Congress to approve U.S. participation if the al- lies didn't contribute at least half the force. Aspin's comments were the most specific to date on the size and makeup ofaU.N.-sanctionedmultinational force that mightbe asked to enforce an accord in Bosnia. Aspin at first said it was "too sensi- tive" to discuss in public when asked about planning for implementing apos- sible peace agreement that would di- vide Bosnia among the Croats, Serbs and Muslims. Then he referred to recent news ac- counts of the likely size of apeacekeep- ing force. "The numbers that you see (in newspapers) are roughly what it's looking like,"Aspin said. "You're talk- ing about overall numbers of around 50,000 total." Aspin said President Clinton was notready to officially commit the United States to participating ina Bosniapeace- keeping force, but that in any case it was politically important that the allies con- tribute heavily to any such force. Aspin gave a speech and answered questions from the audience at a con- ference of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Brussels, hen briefly visited with U.S. troops in Germany en route to Rome where he was meeting with Adm. Jeremy Boorda, who is heading U.S. military planning for Bosnia. While reiterating that the adminis- tration intended to keep 100,000 U.S. troops stationed in Europe, Aspin said NATO - the institutional framework for allied operations - must change or else the U.S. public may want the troops brought home. Aspin described some of the details of his recently announced new five- year defense plan that restructures the military to account for the fact that the Cold War-era threat of attack from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact is gone. He said U.S. forces will be tailored to handle other dangers such as regional conflicts in Korea or Iraq and the pos- sible spread of nuclear weapons knowhow. Aspin said the NATO alliance must make clearer arrangements for how it would share the burden of responding to crises and conflicts outside of Eu- rope. He said this should be the main focus of a NATO summit in January to be attended by Clinton and the heads of the 15 other governments in the Atlantic alliance. In abrief stopoverat Rhein Main Air Base in Frankfurt, Germany, on his way to Rome, Aspin was given a briefing on U.S. participation in Operation Provide Promise. LAW SCHOOL?
