Cream puff *pponents. While most people equate these images with homecoming football games, tomorrow's contest between No. 13 Michigan and Illinois might be long on the memories and short on the puff. As the Illini face the Wolverines (2-1 Big Ten, 4-2 overall) on the road *Radicals assassinate Palestinian *1mToderate GAZA CITY, Occupied Gaza Strip (AP) - Assad Saftawi's 12- year-old son ran out of the schoolyard and up to his father's car, when he noticed three masked gunmen on the other side. One fired a 9mm pistol and the bullet hit Saftawi just below the e ye. 0 "He turned to talk to them, but they shot again," said Ali Saftawi. The murder yesterday of Saftawi, a close associate of PLO leader Yasser Arafat, was the third assassination of a moderate Palestinian since the Is- rael-PLO accord was signed in Wash- ington on Sept. 13. It threatened to ignite a vicious cycle of killings and reprisals among 'alestinians and posed a challenge to the PLO leader, who must exert con- trol over Gaza before Israel's army starts withdrawing on Dec. 13. Armed members of the under- ground Fatah Hawks appeared at Saftawi's three-story house after the slaying and fired several shots in the air as a salute to the fallen Palestinian leader. "I will revenge my father's death, *will kill the assassins of my father," said another son, Ziad, 27, a bearded activist with the militant group Is- lamic Jihad. "We are on the brink of a serious degeneration of the situation," Hanan Ashrawi, spokesperson for the Pales- tinian peace talks delegation, told The Associated Press. Others, like Gaza PLO official Zakariya al-Agha, pre- *icted "civil war." See ISRAEL, Page 2 for the second straight year, they ap- pear to be the type of team that has been Michigan's nemesis thus far this season. True, Illinois has won only two of their six games this season, but both have been against Big Ten oppo- nents, leaving them with the same 2- 1 conference record as the Wolver- ines. In addition, Illinois is surging, coming off a 49-3 thumping of Iowa in the Hawkeyes' homecoming game last weekend. Illini coach Lou Tepper said he knows that another strong performance could do wonders for his team. "A victory over Michigan would immediately get us back into the Big Ten conference race," Tepper said. Of course, the same refrain has been coming from the Wolverine coaching staff during the past week. After an emotional victory over Penn State, Michigan coach Gary Moeller sees his team as being at a pivotal crossroad of its own. "If we want to go to the Rose Bowl, in my opinion, we can't afford to lose another ball game," Moeller said. "We're halfway through the sea- son and the key now is to maintain our character and spirit. We made a big step in the right direction against Penn State. The question is can we main- tain it?" If the Wolverines need any addi- tional motivation from this game, they need look no further than last season's battle. Just in case Michigan fans have forgotten this little bit of nostalgia, it was the 28-point underdog Illini who shocked the Wolverines with a 22-22 tie, upsetting their bid for a second straight unblemished Big Ten season. Moeller, however, needs no reminder of this unpleasant memory.

And that was just the beginning of the fun. This year's Homecoming celebra- tion will feature a variety of events encompassing both tradition and new attractions. The University Activities Center (UAC), the Alumni Association, and several other campus groups have planned and organized events for stu- dents and alums of all ages and inter- ests. The celebration began with a Girbaud fashion show on the Diag Wednesday, yesterday's carnival and a performance last night by nation- ally recognized comedian Dennis Miller. Tonight, Rackham auditorium will reverberate with the melodies of the Vocal Jam-- a concert by several University vocal performance groups. Homecoming activities will con- tinue tomorrow morning while Maize and Blue faithful prepare for the big game against the Fighting Illini. The Alumni Association will spon- sor the Go Blue Brunch. And alumni from all University schools and col- leges will have the opportunity to hobnob with their former classmates at individual reunions. Alumni Asso- ciation Reunion Coordinator Kay VandenBosch said the association will also host reunions for Black gradu- ates, swimmers, and alumni band and cheerleading groups. The Alumni Association collabo- rated with UAC in early planning meetings and the two organizations cooperated to send out announcements for upcoming events and take confir- mations for the Go Blue Brunch. This afternoon, the Evans Schol- ars Fraternity will host the 17th an- nual charity Car Bash on the Diag from 2-4. Members of campus frater- nities and sororities raised money for the event, which will benefit the C. S. Mott Children's Hospital. See EVENTS, Page 2 Regents discuss political correctness, free speech issues By NATE HURLEY DAILY STAFF REPORTER The idea of political correctness humbly began as an inside joke among liberals. Now it is a dumping ground for issues as widespread as free speech and multiculturalism, hate speech and conduct codes. These issues come to a head every day in classes across campus, con- cluded the University Board of Re- gents at a discussion yesterday. Law Dean Lee Bollinger, one of five panelists at the discussion, illus- trated how issues of political correct- ness affect him in his job. If a law professor asked students what they would do in a case in which a woman was raped, said she enjoyed it but later decided to prosecute, many students in the class may be offended and come to Bollinger for help. He asked the regents and panelists how he should handle the situation. Bollinger sought to direct the con- versation into a discussion about spe- cific issues. "Political correctness is a capture word for three quite distinct problems - speech codes, curricu- lum and campus climate." The two-hour meeting evolved into a broad-based look at political correctness at the University. Philosophy Prof. Elizabeth Ander- son said some students' exercise of free speech could inhibit others' con- tributions to a discussion. "If you just let anything be said, there are going to be some people's speech that will be chilled," she warned. She suggested professors can help by playing "devil's advocate" to bring unpopular ideas to the discussion. Regents Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) and Shirley McFee (R-Battle Creek) spoke against speech codes to direct the terms of classroom debate. McFee said a conduct code is not See REGENTS, Page 2 SAPAC week to foster awareness *of sexual assault By ELIZABETH DALTON FOR THE DAILY Do you have three friends?
