2- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 10, 1993 -SOLAR RACE maker of the photovoltaic cells used ain Maize and Blue. However, he was ,forced to turn back after 132 miles, after realizing that reaching Prof. Martin Green would require too much kangaroo dodging and use too much gas. But team members were able to confer with Green, who confirmed atheir worst fears - faulty silver tabs are causing the problems with the array. The 18,000 tabs connect photo- voltaic cells to the car's battery and motor.

"t's so frustrating. If the damn array worked, we'd be up around third place."* Bathed in generator-produced light, members of the electronics and battery team performed systems checks ater the meeting. Meanwhile, other team members set off for camp- sites of other teams hoping to find some spare flux. Team members plan to use flux to clean the glass encasings of Maize and Blue's solar cells. When they are clean, they will be resoldered to their tabs, possibly generating more power and allowing for better conduction of electrical current. "We are going to look for flux to try to get rid of the losses (in wattage) in the array. It's abellof a task, but we have nothing better to do now," said Project Manager Furqan Nazeeri. At the endof the thirdday, Honda's Dream still led the race despite en- gine problems. Two other collegiate teams -Northern Territory Univer- sity and CaliforniaStateUniversity at Los Angeles - slipped ahead of Maize and Blue. Ross added that cloudy forecasts for the next couple of days should help the University's team. "The weather is turning cloudy, which will take some of our array disadvantages away," he said. "We hope to be able to take advantage of the poor weather and other teams' mistakes." High ourt WASHINGTON (AP)-The Su- preme Court strengthened workers' protection against sexual harassment yesterday, ruling unanimously that employers can be forced to pay mon- etaury daages even when employees suffer no psychological harm. "So long as the environmentwould reasonably be perceived, and is per- ceived, as hostile or abusive, there is no need for it also to be psychologi- cally injurious," Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote as the court revived a Tennessee woman's lawsuit against her ex-boss. The woman said her boss, among other things, had asked her to retrieve coins from his front pants pocket, suggested they go to a local motel to negotiate her pay raise and asked if she gained a sales contract by provid- ing sexual favors. "It's a big win for women," said Marcia Greenberger of the National Women's Law Center of the ruling.

The 9-0 vote emphasized that "sexual harassment is just as much a violation of the law as other forms of discrimination," Greenberger said. The decision comes at atime when complaints of alleged sexual harass- ment in employment are increasing.

Members of the recently-formed group, Futurist Think Tank, have plas- tered campus with hundreds of fliers urging students to voice support for the agreement, which would remove all trade barriers among Mexico, Canada and the United States. Alex Bokov, a founding member of the group, said NAFTA's passage is critical. "This is the most important event since the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall," Bokov said. Under the banner "If you think NAFTA doesn't affect you, think again," the flier urges students to write or call Rep. Bill Ford (D-Ypsilanti), who opposes the agreement.

We will be setting an isolation- ist example for the rest of the world. With all Michigan Democrats and all but one of the Republicans in Con- gress against the pact, Futurist Think Tank faces an uphill fight to change Ford'smind. He announced his oppo- sition to the pact months ago and aides say he is unlikely to change his position. Bokov said the group will work toward "improving the human condi- tion." "With the end of a bi-polar world, traditional political labels are mean- ingless," he said. "It is time to tran- scend labels and support an issue so critical to our economic future." Futurist Think Tank, a non-parti- san, pro-science policy group held its organizational meeting last Tuesday.

ROMNEY Continued from page 1 campaign literature in the Fishbowl at 2 p.m. In addition, she will address a contingent of television and news- paper reporters. Bill Lowry, state chair of the Col- lege Republicans and an LSA senior, said his group prohibits early endorse- ments of Republican candidates. Currently, Youth For Engler is the only other Republican student com- mittee on campus. It is up to the cam- paigns to contact students to form student chapters, Lowry said. The 50-year-old Romney gradu- ated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Education, and cur- rently is a talk show host for WXYT Radio in Detroit. She is the daughter- in-law of the late George Romney, a 1968 presidential candidate. Romney wasaco-chairofthe 1972 Nixon campaign in Utah and has raised money for Republican candidates for nearly 20 years. She was a co-chair of the finance committee for the Reagan- Bush '84 campaign. Romney's campaign literature fashions pictures of her with Repub- lican Presidents George Bush and Ronald Reagan to illustrate her expe- rience on presidential commissions. "I have served as chairman of the President's Commission on White House Fellowships and the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars, in addition to serving as a confirmation hearing. Hill said Thomas had harassed her years earlier, but Thomas strongly denied any such conduct. Thomas sat silently during court- roomarguments inthe Tennesseec ase last month, and he offered no separate written opinion yesterday. NAFTA Continued from page 1 the shadows of Mexican factories. Gore accused Perot of repeatedly playing fast and loose with the facts, saying he had predicted 40,000 Ameri- cans would die in the Persian Gulf war and that 100 banks would .fail after President Clinton took office. "You were wrong," Gore said as he eyed Perot. "The politics of negativ- ism and fear only go so far." "People who don't make anythingW can't buy anything," Perot said, as he displayed his photographs. "Never forget that." commissioner on the President's Na- tional Advisory Council on Adult Education," she said. U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, (R-Mid- land) whom many have speculated will seek the nomination himself, said@ in an interview he was pleased with Romney's entrance. "A wide field of candidates is ben- eficial," he said. "It will help us find the best candidate to fill the seat." Camp declined to comment on whether he will enter the race. With 51 weeks until the election, Romney is the third major candidate to seek the Republican nomination. * Carl Pursell, a former U.S. represen- tative, announced his candidacy last month. Spencer Abraham, Republi- can state chair, is also in the running. able to count on money being there," he said giving several examples of students waiting on financial aid checks to help pay for books and rent. "It's ridiculous for more than half the term to go by and students who depend on loans for rent and food haven't received them," said Robin Speakes, an LSA senior. Speakes, who justreceivedherloan last week,added, "You feel hopeless because you get into the position where you have to take out emergency and University loans to make ends meet." BY GMIKE GREEN NATIONALLY RENOWNED SPEAKER AT OVER 200 COLLEGE CAMPUSES MONEY Continued from page 1 has become less complex. Previously, students filled out a form as thick as a small booklet when applying for aid. But the process has been reduced by cutting more than half the questions from the form. Students like LSA senior Stephen Broyles are concerned about not be- ing able to register for Winter Term because of hold credits on their ac- counts. Nowak laid this concern to rest. "If students find out they have a hold credit, and we've notified them that they have a loan, we give a memo (to clear the hold credit) so people can CRISP." But, Nowak warns, "If (students) haven't heard anything in the past six to eight weeks, they should definitely come in and check on their loans. No one should be waiting longer than TRAVEL SMART!
