2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 24, 1993 NEWS Continued from page 1 annually remains in the top 25. "They tell you what are the top tier of U.S. universities. We're in the tier every year," Harrison said. University President James Duderstadt echoed the sentiment that the non-academic categories skew the ranking for public universities. "The surveys are really based on very weird things," he said. "There are facts that discriminate againstpub- lic universities." For anyone who still follows the University's fluctuation in the annual ranking, its 1990 spot was 21st, 1991 was 22nd and last year was 24th. The leap to 23rd seems to be bucking the downward trend of the past few years. This marks the first year the Uni- versity of Notre Dame was among the top universities. Harvard University - the top ranked - got scores of 1st, 1st, 3rd, 6th, 1st and 29th in the respective categories. COMMENT Continued from page 1 have an impact on the amendment. She said the bylaw is intended to apply to individuals, not campus groups. Associate Prof. of English Marlon Ross said the campus needs this amendment. He suggested that the University's lack of a bylaw prohibit- ing discrimination based on sexual orientation could cause prospective staff and students to think twice be- fore coming to the University. "I was dismayed to discover that the University at the highest level has not acted to ensure tolerance to all members of this community, exclud- ing those who happen to be gay, les- bian or bisexual," he said. Meredith Uy, a second-year medi- cal student and president of the Chris- tian Medical and Dental Society, claimed that the University does not need to add this amendment because it is already "tilted" toward gay and les- bian groups and away from religious I I I I See ,1e ,4d4 Sece 1977 Full & Self-serve Copying " Quick Turnaround - Automated Self-serve " Canon Color Laser Copies " Reductions/Enlargements Binding & Finishing Services " Spiral, Velo, & Tape Binding with tab insertion capability - " Folding & Laminating Collating, Stapling, & Cutting ).611 Church 665-9200h In the Arcade above "Rick's" QUALITY DRY CLEANING AND SHIRT SERVICE . 332 Maynard St. across from Nickels Arcade 668-6335 groups. "To my knowledge there are cur- rently two full-time staff persons for the Lesbian-Gay Male Programs Of- fice while there is only one person in the Office of Ethics and Religion. "Discrimination against religious groups on campus is largely ignored," she said. Van Harrison, a post-graduate fac- ulty member in medicine, criticized the regents for not acting sooner on amending the bylaw to be in concur- rence with an almost decade-old presi- dential policy. Assistant Dean of the Law School Virginia Gordan used examples of the "real and ugly" discrimination against lesbians, gay men and bisexuals she said exists on campus. "In my work I hear of derogatory comments about gay people made ca- sually in passing conversations in hall- ways, lunchrooms, dorms and class- rooms. I hear of them and I hear the comments myself," she said. Heather Brunsink, president of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, argued that there was not enough pub- lic input on the issue. "Is it right to make a decision with- out even letting the public know this issue is even being considered? I won- der how many students know that this proposal is being debated here today or how many members of the faculty know what's going on today, how many parents of students at this Uni- versity know," she said.. "I think the regents cannot legiti- mately pass this proposal without con- sidering the thoughts and opinions of the people who comprise this Univer- sity." Despite the protests of half of the speakers, McGowan and Deitch said after the meeting they still plan to propose the amendment adding gays, lesbians and bisexuals toBylaw 14.06, but they will not include an exemp- tion for religious groups, as many of the speakers had requested. Deitch said that will still be pro- tected under the First Amendment, which takes precedence over the re- gental bylaw. Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar- bor) said he will oppose the amend- ment. "I oppose the bylaw. I think it's not necessary. There is not discrimi- nation on this campus against homo- sexuals," he said. He noted that gays, lesbians and bisexuals are hired, promoted and ad- mitted to the University and said that there are other courses of action avail- able to anyone who feels they have been discriminated against. The majority of the regents said they were in favor of the amendment, but some said they had reservations. Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle Creek) said she supports the amend- ment in principle but she would have reservations if the amendment is pro- posed as Deitch and McGowen are planning. She said she is waiting to see the impact on such organizations as the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and affirmative action. "I do believe this is a group of individuals who have been selected out for negative action on the part of society and all society. I would cer- tainly like to give (the amendment) a try. McGowan and Deitch have said they will propose the amendment at today's regents' meeting, which be- gins at 9 a.m. in the Regents' Room of the Fleming Administration Building. 01 Pick-up & Delivery available _j U ml ]H © S {.C 11 x:1l11 y ©© C 11 hi 1g LECTURE GURDJIEFF-OUSPENSKY Sunday, September 26th at 3:00 pm Michigan League Bldg.

Clinton's plan to provide universal coverage is ex- pected to cost an additional $350 billion over five years. "It is still sinking in on our fellow citizens," Clinton said. "There's still a lot of people that don't think we're going to get this done," Clinton said. He also said the system has dete- HEALTH riorated so much that it will be pos- sible to form a national consensus. "We don't wantto rush this thing; it's too complicated," Clinton said. "But we don't want to delay it, using complexity as an excuse." Clinton asked for help in press- ing members of Congress to keep pledges of bipartisanship on the is- sue. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Tip- per Gore spoke, as well. Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen crossed the state of Penn- sylvania for tours of a rubber busi- ness, then an ice cream company. 0 11 JII TTir nrr y The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745.96 7) is publshed Monday tnrougn Friday duringnthe fall and winterterms by students at the University of Michigan.
