2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, January 31, 1994 U.S. grants entry to IRA leader for peace meeting WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States granted a limited visa yesterday to Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army. The decision, announced by the White House, reverses a policy of barring Adams from the country be- cause of his association with the IRA. The White House said Attorney General Janet Reno had issued a "waiver to his ineligibility" to allow Adams to attend a peace conference in New York. This was at the recom- mendation of Secretary of State War- ren Christopher. Adams has been turned down in eight previous requests for visas, and the decision to allow him into the country reflects recent progress in negotiations to end decades of civil strife in Northern Ireland. "The president supports this deci- sion and believes it will help advance the cause of peace in Northern Ire- land," said a White House statement. Adams, who is to address a meet- ing in New York on Tuesday, will be allowed to stay in the United States only 48 hours, and must stay within 25 miles of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel where the conference is being held. He also is prohibited from engag- ing in any direct or indirect fund- raising. Officials of the State Department, the National Security Council and the Justice Department met Saturday and Sunday to discuss Adams' case, ac- cording to a source close to the dis- cussions. In its initial response to Adams' visa request, the administration said Adams must first renounce violence. Sinn Fein is the legal political ally of the outlawed paramilitary group. Col. North says Reagan made him lie WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate hopeful Oliver North blamed Presi- dent Reagan yesterday for the lies he* told in the Iran-Contra scandal. North acknowledged during an appearance on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that he had lied to members of a House Intelligence committee. North denied to lawmakers that he was assisting the rebels. In fact, he was running an operation to keep the Contras supplied with weapons. s "I was asked questions that I had been told from the president of the* United States could never be revealed, OK?" North said in explaining.. "Who made you do it?" North was asked by host Bob Schieffer. "Well, the president of the United States," North replied. He noted that Reagan had requested money for the Contras from Saudi Arabian leaders. DER _ HE :7 LSA junior Tom Rohdy sits in his car, waiting to order from the Taco Bell on South State Street.

That district covers Ingham and Livingston counties and parts of Genesee, Shiawassee, Oakland, and Washtenaw counties. Chrysler, a self-made millionaire, outspent Carr $1.8 million to $1.4 million in 1992andcame within 3,611 votes of beating him (135,517- 131,906). "This is a totally different race, I would maintain," Byrum said. "I have no grandiose dreams that I'm going to outspend Dick Chrysler. I'll bejudged in terms of what I've done." Of course, that's only if Carr en- ters the Democratic Senate primary. The field for that already includes Macomb County Prosecutor Carl Marlinga, former U.S. Rep. Bill Brodhead, and state Sen. Lana Pol- lack, of Ann Arbor. Pollack admitted last week that she was relieved to hear Blanchard wouldn't be getting into the race. "It could open up the race for more people," she said. "This is a level playing field by and large. No one will dominate the primary over the next few weeks." Byrum, who still works at her family's hardware store on weekends, spoke for all incumbents weighing the odds of giving up their current seat to take a crack at a higher office. "There's just such a tremendous opportunity to do some things on a national level that would never be available at the state Senate," she said. "It's a gutsy call. I'm either going to go to the U.S. House or back to the hardware store." University Towers Apartment 536 S. Forest Ave. Ann Arbor, MI 48104 761-2680 Is MTS getting slower?

Users of the Michigan Terminal System (MTS), the University's larg- est e-mail system, have noted that things are moving significantly slower in recent months. Users complain that signing on and off or just typing a messagetakes longer compared to the quick responses of last year. The Information Technology Di- vision (ITD) attributes the slower speed to a rapid increase in the num- ber of MTS users. Several times this year, the system has reached 100 per- cent of its processor capacity. Also, MTS can handle a finite number of users. When the system reaches its limit, users seethe prompt, "All interactive ports are busy." Sim- ply put, the MTS processor can't lis- ten to any more people. While ITD searches for ways to distribute processor time more effi- ciently, MTS users can get a faster response by signing on at non-peak hours. ITD's Information Technol- ogy Digest reports use is greatest at about 11:30 a.m. and again at 2:30 p.m. Evenings and early mornings are the best times to sign on if users are looking for a faster response. UPCOMING ITD CLASSES Several times a week, ITD offers computing classes free of charge for University staff and students. Classes cover topics such as e-mail, network- ing, telecommunications and use of applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel and other popular programs. This week's classes include "Win- dows Next Step," "Intro to UNIX" and "What is the Internet?" Call 763-3700 for time and loca- tion, or to register for a class. 'U' PROF. RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD June Osborn, aprofessor of epide- miology and pediatrics at the Univer- sity, will receive a 1994 "Scientific Freedom and Responsibility" award from the American Association for the Advancement ofScience (AAAS). Osborn, a former dean of the School of Public Health and former chair of the National Commission on AIDS, will receive the prize Feb. 21 in San Francisco: during the association's annual meeting. AAAS heralded Osborn as "one Tchnolop of the first scientists in the United 0 States to decry hatred and discrimina- tion against people with AIDS." AAAS boasts 140,000 members and 300 affiliated science and engi- neering organizations. STARING AT HAIR Assistant Dermatology Prof. Bruce Nelson decided to take a closer look at transplanted hair - a much closer look. Nelson used an electron tunneling microscope, capable of magnifying objects 400,000 times, to look at trans- planted follicles. Transplanted hair is often lusterless and curly for a time after the procedure, and that can be surprising to patients who formerly had straight, shiny hair. Hair transplants are most com- monly performed on balding men. Hair is taken from a part of the scalp (commonly from the back of the scalp) and replanted elsewhere on the head, Nelson discovered transplanted follicles undergo some trauma, and tend to grow hair unevenly foi-up to a year. But the condition is not perma- nent, and hair looks healthier as the follicle adjusts to its new locale. 01 Application For BUICK olunteer Spirit Award MORE MB FOR YOUR HOME DIRECTORY ITD has decided to expand the size of Institutional File System (IFS) home directories from 3 to'5 mega bytes. This was effective Jan. 1. Users of campus computing sites can create a home directory by choos- ing the "Make me an IFS ho'e direc tory" icon from the applications server. A home directory allows users to save files on the University server. This lets users create a file at any campus computing site and modify it at another without having to deal with the inconvenience of a floppy disk. There are about 6,200 users with IFS home directories at the Univer- sity. - By Daily Staff Reporter Scot Woods * STEP 1 (Please Print) UStudent ®Faculty DAlumnus Applicant's Name: Local Address: Telephone: li __ ,. n Street Apt# City State Zip Evenings Day The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
