2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 19, 1994 RIVERS Continued from page 1 succeeded - education," Rivers said. "And it has to be here for everyone." Rivers' campaign staff announced yesterday that the first-term state legis- lator has secured the endorsement of EMILY, a roster of politicians who support women's issues. Candidates on the Early Money Is Like Yeast list draw additional funding from liberal and feminist groups. EMILY's endorsement will likely add at least $40,000 to Rivers' cam- paign coffers, she estimated. Rivers Raid she hopes to raise $300,000. Her Democratic opponents in the Aug. 2 primary are attorney Fultan Eaglin and David Geiss, an aide to outgoing U.S. Rep. William Ford (D- Ypsilanti Township). Ford is stepping down after three decades in office. Rivers said she and Ford share at least two traits: "I too, am short and feisty." Speakers preceding Rivers praised her for her down-to-earth style and unwavering stands on issues. "I had the opportunity to work with Lynn in the schools and I found her to be outstanding-clearly the bestof the school board members I worked with," said LeRoy Cappaert, a veteran admin- istrator . "You never have to second- guess where Lynn Rivers is coming from. I think that's an uncommon trait." Rivers tailored her campaign mes- sage to University students in an inter- view with the Daily yesterday. She vowed to fight for a larger pool of federal student loans, which she said have been jeopardized by conservative fiscal practices. HOUSING Continued from page 1 tee that women and minorities were equally considered." When asked by a staff member if they would go back into the pool if they were left with five white male finalists, Brewer refused to speculate. The committee will not choose one candidate. It will forward a list of three to five names to Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen A. Hartford who then will make the final decision. Robert C. Hughes, who was Hous- ing director for 16 years, was removed from his position by Hartford in March to assume a new position in the Office of Development. In response to criticisms from staff members present, committee members said at least one more public forum would be scheduled in the summer, primarily for staff members. Three students serve on the advi- sory committee formed in March, in- cluding MSA President Julie Neenan. The Office of Student Affairs hopes to have the new Housing Director in place by September 1. BOSNIA Continued from page 1 air attacks on Serb forces around Gorazde. He renewed his call for an end to the U.N. ban on arms shipments to Bosnia's Muslim-led government. U.N. officials said little would be gained by calling more NATO air strikes like the limited raids over the past week that did not blunt the Serb offensive. The only military officer in Gorazde to guide NATO planes was among seven British officers evacuated at dawn, U.N. officials said. Hampered by that muddled sense of purpose and lack of will, the United Nations could do little but express out- rage at the Serb attacks on Gorazde, one of six "safe areas" declared by the Security Council a year ago. In New York, U.N. spokesman Joe Sills said U.N. workers in Gorazde reported heavy shelling of the town about 35 miles southeast of Sarajevo. "The defenses have collapsed. There are intentional and indiscriminate at- tacks on civilians," he said. U.N. staff said thousands of people were campedhin the streets because they lacked shelter. "People are trying to hide in every conceivable safe place, obviously to no avail," said Ron Redmond of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva. "People are literally exposed to any shelling, sniper fire, machine- gun fire.... People are terrified." Shells fell at a rate of one every 20 seconds during the morning, but slowed to one a minute by midafternoon, said Redmond. Bosnian Serb forces said they had taken over most of the Gorazde en- clave, apart from the center of town and a stretch of 4 to 5 miles along the northern bank of the Drina. Aid officials said 302 people had been killed and 1,075 wounded since the Serbs began their attacks on the Gorazde enclave three weeks ago. Sills said about half the dead were children and more than 100 were women and the elderly. Bosnia's war began in April 1992, and Bosnian Serbs rebelled and took control of about 70 percent of the re- public. At least 200,000 people are dead or missing.

Guisewite said attending the Uni- versity had been a lifelong dream for her. "When I was young, my family took a trip," she said.

"When I entered as a freshman woman, we were wearing skirts and sweaters," she said. "When I gradu- ated, we were flower children wearing earthy sandals. The whole look and feel changed in four years." She said visiting the University is a rich emotional experience. "Your college years are an impor- tant time in your life. Visiting, you see the same buildings and you walk on the same sidewalks." Guisewite said she was thrilled to be returning to speak for commence- ment April 30. "I remember my own graduation as being such agreat event in my life, such TEXTBOOKS Continued from page 1 ket, publishers have begun to produce new editions more often. "I have seen the time between editions shrink," Gorecki said. In the last two decades, the update cycle has shrunk from every five years to every one-to-three years for a new edition. With the new editions out, students find themselves reluctantly adding many of textbooks to their personal libraries. Mostprofessors use the newest edi- tion of a text for their courses. Chem- istry lecturer Brian Coppola said that he uses the latest edition of the chemis- try text for classes of 1,200 students each term. That leaves 1,200 copies of the old edition text for the students to keep for themselves. "There are some professors that will stick with the old editions," Scheel said, "but they are forced into buying the new edition if it is more than six months out of print." If the classes are small enough, the bookstores will sometimes be able to get enough copies of an old edition for a class. Part of the high cost of textbooks has to do with the fact that, according to the Association of American Publish- ers, 17.4 percent of the cost of text- books is in marketing. Of that 17.4 percent, 2.9 percent is the cost of pro- viding professors with free copies. In the rush to get a professor to buy KEVORKIAN Continued from page 1 would ever convict Kevorkian after watching the videotape. "We're going to have a trial here in which there's no victim. Not only is there no victim, butthe alleged victim's family finds the prosecution reprehen- sible," Fieger said. "Something's wrong here." Jackson warned Fieger against en@ couragingjurors from disregarding their oath to uphold the law and instead acquit Kevorkian based on their per- sonal sympathies. "Certainly one could try to appeal to the emotions," Jackson told the law- yers. "I would order now that there be nothing that would even remotely in- vite the jury not to follow their oath." Fieger also plans to ask whether prospective jurors know that three cir-@ cuit judges have overturned the as- sisted suicide law as unconstitutional. Those three rulings are pending before the Michigan Court of Appeals. Kevorkian, who attended the hear- ing, has been present at 20 deaths since 1990. Hyde was the 17th. a turning pointin life," she said. "To be part of that day for a whole new group of people, especially at the same school that was so critical in my life." However, many students are un- happy with the University's choice to bring Guisewite as the keynote speaker, comparing her with recent speakers such as first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Bush. Com- mencement Committee Chair Ralph Williams said he is pleased Guisewit will be speaking at commencement. "Over the years I've seen strips she's done. 'Cathy' invites us to step back from ourown obsesions and laugh at ourselves. "I think she will give a perspective of warmth and irony," he said. their book - a contract worth thou- sands of dollars for a large class - publishers will often give professors free copies. "Publishers have come around to the bookstores, after having flooded the campus with desk copies, asking us not to buy the books back," Scheel said. A former Ulrich's employee said professors often come in to sell back used books, which can lower the amount@ of money given for used books. If students want to get more money for their new edition books, they should pressure the professors to turn in their orders on time, Scheel said. "The fac- ulty doesn't listen tome, if the students talk to the administration they could pressure theprofessors to get the orders in on time," Scheel said. In some universities, professors are required to turn in their textbook selec- tions to an administrator by a certain date. That is not the case at the Univer- sity. Textbooks are not adopted for a set length of time, either. Books for the same course may change from semes- ter to semester, again leaving students holding their old textbooks. With computer disks and other material being included in more books these days, publishers are making it more difficult to buy and sell used books. Without being able to verify the conditionof these materials, bookstores are reluctant to purchase them. Pub- lishers will not sell copies of the extra material without the accompanying book. * Open 24 Hours /7 Days a Week 530 E Ubsr."701-4539 " Color Copies & Transparencies * Oversize Copies & Posters 1220 S. university -747-9070 " Great Prices! . 2609 Plymouth Rd. -"996-0050 kinkos- the copy center Make A Difference In A New Students Life .: }}:":: :}1:" :"::. : Ab2 ;:; ": ti ""}:};:.'11}} vg": v3y. 11;.

The University Mentorship Program needs students who are sophomores, juniors, and seniors during the 1994-1995 academic year to serve as mentors. The Mentorship Program is designed to give incoming students the chance to connect with two different people-mentors- who are knowledgeable about the University and who share their academic and career interests. Mentors are volunteers who guide by sharing their experience and their knowledge of the University. Mentors provide their "mentees" with insight on what it takes to be successful at the University and in future careers, along with the support and encouragement to help them meet their goals. As a mentor, you will be paired with a faculty or staff member with whom you'll share mentoring duties. You'll also be matched with two or more mentees- incoming first year students. All of you will be matched by academic or career interests. We need mentors who are committed to helping other students make the most of their years at Michigan, and the opportunity to develop a one-on- one relationship with a faculty or staff person.
