With the Senate Appropriation bill still pend- ing, final funding is not known. The youthful atmosphere of the five-hour meetingwas highlighted by bowls of Jolly Ranchers placed on the conference table, the presence of a dozen students, and the noticeable fact that the White House staffer is only 23 years old. Goodwin Liu, the program officer for higher education at the Corpora- tion for National Service, facilitated the closed meeting yesterday. noues acnuiar rocusea te session on discussion of higher education's role in community service. He de- fined the importance of service learn- ing and laid out a time table for imple- mentation of the act. Liu said funding for the first direct grants will be in place by September 1994, and the first community service grants will be ready by January 1995. With time running out before in- terim regulations are to be printed in the Federal Register, many decisions have already been made, Liu said. But some critical questions remain demic credit and get paid a stipend for community service? Should students be able to go to school full time and serve in a full time community service program concurrently? Should the federal government set "quotas" or "targets" to ensure geographic or ethnic diversity of par- ticipants in the program? Should pre-existing programs get preference over new programs? Although few definitive conclu- sions were reached at yesterday's Most members of the group said they thought students should be able to work full time and attend classes. Currently, regulations allow Vol- unteers in Service to America volun- teers to take only one class while serving full time. Liu said he believed this regulation would be changed by the White House.

He's been in two episodes of the Fox network's TV show "COPS." He's Ann Arbor's top law enforcement officer, Chief Douglas Smith. A police officer for more than 25 ears, Smith has had plenty of oppor- tunity to observe every aspect of po- lice work, from shuffling papers to dealing with armed robbers. "Police work really is ... hours of boredom punctuated by moments of extreme terror," Smith explained. Smith, 45, spent most of his 25 years in law enforcement with the Minneapolis Police Department PD), working his way up through e ranks from patrol officer to deputy chief. In 1991, he left the MPD to come to Ann Arbor when he was chosen by the City Council after a lengthy search process. Smith has no definite term of of- fice, and said he plans to stay at the helm of the Ann Arbor Police Depart- ent (AAPD) for some time. His relationship with the City Clinton tightens pressure on Cedras, pushes peace plan at home ASSOCIATED PRESS Haiti's military defied an ap- proaching midnight deadline to yield power yesterday and belittled a U.N. arms and oil embargo. Its right-wing supporters threatened that any Ameri- can invaders will go home "in bags." Rightists mixed threats against the outside world with gifts of chrysan- themums to foreign reporters, while Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras, the army pow- erhouse, suggested new talks on his departure. But the United States said Cedras was only stalling. "I think the solution is in dialogue. Dialogue must lead us to national reconciliation," Cedras told "McNeil- Lehrer NewsHour" on the Public Broadcasting System, hours before the sanctions were to take effect. He also said the United States should not try to reinstall ousted Presi- dent Jean-Bertrand Aristide by force. Aristide is scheduled to return Oct.30 under terms of a U.N. accord. "That solution would bring suf- fering, blood and tears to my coun- try," said Cedras. An army broadcast urged Haitians not to worry about the U.N.-autho- rized embargo or the U.S. warships steaming offshore to enforce it. The measures are aimed at forcing the return of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's first democratically elected president. tal, fearing violence by army-sup- ported Aristide opponents or a pos- sible intervention by U.S. forces. The United States said the army leader would have to make the next move in resolving the conflict and blamed him for any suffering that will be caused by the economic embargo. Facing efforts to restrict his au- thority to send troops to Haiti, Presi- dent Clinton said yesterday he would oppose any congressional curbs on his foreign policy powers. He asserted that he alone "must make the ultimate decision" on when to use force. "I think it's a mistake to cut those decisions off in advance," the presi- dent said. Clinton also tightened pressure on Haitian military and police officials blamed for blocking the-return of de- posed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. He froze any, assets they might have in the United States and denied them entry into this country. The president indicated he was not about to order U.S. forces to Haiti unless Americans there were threat- ened. "Keep in mind, as we speak, the Haitian government has not asked for that," Clinton said. Clinton ordered six warships pa- trolling off Haiti to move closer to shore. The president met withforeign policy advisers on the Haiti crisis as the administration fought off attempts in Congress to limit his powers.

Council has a lot to do with how long Smith stays in Ann Arbor, he said. "If you continue to stay on and you continue to agree with policies... and you see eye-to-eye with your elected officials, it really is an indefi- nite appointment," he said. Since he came to Ann Arbor, Smith has implemented a policy of commu- nity-oriented policing, in which indi- vidual officers are responsible for small areas of the community with a view to establishing a good relation- ship with their given area.
