2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 2, 1993 TETRIS Dingeli comes out against NAFTA WASHINGTON (AP) - Influ- ential Michigan U.S. Rep. John Dingell announced yesterday he would oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it "falls short of its worthy goals." Dingell, chair of the House En- ergy and Commerce Committee, urged Clinton to negotiate a new trade agreement "free of the defects plagu- ing this one." The decision by Dingell, until now publicly uncommitted, means every Michigan Democrat is on record against the trade pact among the United States, Canada and Mexico. Only one of the delegation's five Republicans, Rep. Joseph Knollenberg of Bloomfield Hills, has announced support for the plan. In a letter to President Clinton, Dingell said he supported the concept of a North American agreement but couldn't back the one Congress is scheduled to vote on Nov. 17. The lawmaker from Trenton ex- pressed concern about Mexico's lack ofenvironmental statutes, and its child labor practices, health and safety prob- lems, and other labor issues. "The NAFTA, if properly negoti- ated, could contribute greatly to solv- ing the problems of illegal immigra- tion, worker exploitation and envi- ronmental degradation," Dingell wrote.'"A well-crafted agreement can promote real democratic reforms in Mexico, create jobs in and enrich all three signatory countries, and enhance our economic position within the hemisphere. "However worthy the concept, members of Congress must cast their votes on the NAFTA not on the basis of its potential, but on the terms of a particular context. Unfortunately, the agreement negotiated by your prede- cessor, even with the side agreements recently concluded, falls short of its worthy goals." In addition to the 10 House Demo- crats who oppose it, Sens. Carl Levin and Donald Riegle, also Democrats, are working to defeat the plan. Spearheading the anti-NAFTA effort in Congress, House Majority Whip David Bonior (D-Mouni Clemens) says he has 208 committed "no" votes, just 10 short of an abso- lute majority. Toilet 'artwork' graces New Sense Museum BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -New York has the MOMA. Paris has the Louvre. Berkeley has the New Sense Museum, where art is strictly in the eyes of the beholder. The New Sense (say it fast) con- sists of avacant, weed-strewn lot stud- ded with weird objects, most notably a flotilla of commodes painted fluo- rescent pink, orange and green. "What can I say? Art is whatever you can get away with, I guess," said Andy Ross of nearby Cody's Books. "I'd much rather have a nice monu- mental Picasso or an ice skating rink, but we have the toilet museum." Some exhibits have severed man- nequin limbs and flamingo heads. Others sport lines of poetry. All are probably destined for a garbage heap once the museum's guiding force, RichardListmoves on in afew weeks. He says he wants to relocate to Utah, where the air is fresh and the landscape "looks like melting ice cream." Until then, his humble objets d'bath, alternately jeered and cheered by passersby, continue to pose a riv- eting question: Is it art? Or is it just a bunch of spray-painted toilets? List, who cites Belgian painter Rene Magritte as one of his inspira- tions, chooses not to answer. "I just have this random juxtapo- sition of objects," he said. "People say, 'I don't get the message.' Well that's the point. Life is a mystery." This being Berkeley, the museum's history is rooted in protest. The city is fighting with the owner over cleanup costs of the lot, which has been vacant since a 1990 fire. City Councilmember Carla Wood- worth said the owner seems unwilling to sell, rebuild or clean it up. 0 PHOTO ILLUSTRAION By ELIZABETH LIPPMAN/DaiIy Andrew Blovey, an RC sophomore, obviously prefers the "creamed spinach color" and "pea soup color" of his Nintendo Game Boy to other hand-held, computer-animated toys.

In arguing for a second term, soft- spoken Mayor David Dinkins said he had held the line on property taxes and that crime was on the decline. Republican challenger Rudolph Giuliani said Dinkins had done little to stop violent crime, and had been slow to act when Blacks committed crimes against Jews and Asian mer- chants.

Payne asked. "MSA serves a very important purpose on this campus and when people make fun ofit, itmakes amockery ofMSA." However, members of the Keg and Beavis n' Butt-Head parties said their nicknames only serve to make MSA elections lighthearted and more interesting for student constituents. Beavis n' Butt-head party mem- ber Brent "Butt-Head" House said the party wants to keep using nicknames because the monikers relate to its image.

"Since0 it's been done in the past, we didn think there was going to be any prob- lems with it." House said he plans to take the new nickname policy before MS A's judiciary committee for questioning, "Our complaints were falling 6n dead ears," House said. "Ifeellike we're being snubbed because we don't fit the norm of a political party." Although she is not running in this election, LSA Rep. and Keg Party member Michelle Ferrarese said she thought the decision to remove party nicknames was unnecessary. "It's kind of ridiculous for them to do that (when) they could limit the nicknames tomaybe acouple of words and solve the problem," Ferrarese said. University Tovers Aparmnenta 536 S.
