One hundred three years of editorial freedom "UI Housing director to develop student emergency fund By DAVID SHEPARDSON DAILY NEWS EDITOR The Office of Student Affairs will get a new full-time employee whose primary responsibil- ity will be to raise money for new projects that could have substantial benefits for students. Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen Hartford announced yesterday that Robert C. Hughes, director of the Housing Division, has been named executive director of development and external relations., In a interview last night, Hartford outlined several of the projects Hughes would be head- ing. Foremost on the list is a fundraising drive to create an "emergency student appeal fund." "If a student broke a tooth and couldn't pay to have it fixed, they could come to our office to get the money," Hartford said. Rent, tuition, gas bills and other emergency expenses could be paid for by the University through this fund. Under the plan, students would not be re- quired to pay, but would "be asked that when they could, to pay the money back to the Uni- versity of Michigan." Hartford, who has implemented similar pro- grams at schools where she had previously worked, said she had spoken to several execu- tive officers who voiced their approval for the fund and added she did not believe approval from the University Board of Regents was necessary to implement the program. "This is a program I've wanted to create since I came here," said Hartford, who came from Washington State University in early 1992 to become a University vice president. Hartford said the fund would need at least $50,000 in seed money before it could be started. Additionally, Hartford said Hughes would also look at funding a community service facil- ity. Hartford noted the University's role in developing the National Service Trust Act and the University Commission on Community Service. Hughes will work closely with the Office of Development and the Campaign for Michigan. In fact, his office will be located in the develop- ment office and not in the student affairs office. "He will be developing strategies with the office and look to co-ordinate fundraising ac- tivities," Hartford said. He will replace Shirley Clarkston, who had been on a one-year leave of absence until Jan. 19. Clarkston was director of presidential com- munications for four years. She was appointed by President Clinton last year to be the public relations director of the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Clarkston was hired by then-Provost James Duderstadt in 1986 and followed him to the president's office. Clarkston was re-assigned to the Office of Student Affairs four months before she left in October 1992 to join the Clinton campaign and then the transition team in Little Rock, Ark. Jackson, King to play in IU game ePolice set to charge players in beer theft SLICK TRIM State lawmakers applaud Clinton budget proposal By CHAD A. SAFRAN DAILY BASKETBALL WRITER While madness is normally asso- ciated with the month of March and the NCAA men's basketball tourna- ment, a bit of craziness has surrounded the Michigan Wolverines in early February. Besides being heavily involved in their quest for the Big Ten title, the Wolverines have had to deal with the suspensions of juniors Jimmy King and Ray Jackson and sophomore Chris Fields for last Saturday's Michigan State game, due to their alleged in- volvement in a shoplifting incident. While those three players have domi- nated the headlines the past four days, Michigan's roster must now deal with *a different problem - Indiana. The No. 11 Wolverines (7-2 Big Ten, 14-4 overall) and No. 12 Hoo- siers (7-2, 14-4) battle tonight at Crisler Arena (7:30 p.m., ESPN) with first place in the conference on the line. However, Michigan will no longer be shorthanded. King, Jackson and Fields were all reinstated yesterday after Michigan *basketball coach Steve Fisher met with school Athletic Director Joe Roberson. "I've discussed this matter with Joe Roberson, and we have dealt with the team violation," Fisher said. "The city of Ann Arbor now has proper jurisdiction over this matter and they will deal with this situation." Fisher would not comment any further on the suspensions or the in- vestigation, which will result in Ann Arbor police charging three players with retail fraud, a misdemeanor, ac- cording to yesterday's Ann Arbor News. Tonight, the only thing the Wol- verines want to take is a victory over the Hoosiers. Michigan has dropped its past three contests with Indiana, including an 82-72 loss at Bloomington Jan. 16. Bobby Knight's club is coming off two wins last week - an overtime triumph against Ohio State and a 10- point road win over Penn State Satur- day - setting up this evening's high- profile confrontation. Despite the controversy surround- ing the team, Fisher said that his team knows what is in front of it. "We need to find a way to focus on basketball," Fisher said. "We want to make sure we are thinking. We're ready for Indiana." While the Wolverines may be fully prepared for the game, the Hoosiers i WASHINGTON (AP) - Michi- gan lawmakers applauded President Clinton's willingness to make cuts in the federal budget he proposed yes- terday, but they weren't happy with all of the cuts or with how deep they were. The 9-pound budget book, encom- passing $1.52 trillion in spending for the 1995 fiscal year that begins in November, included cuts in more than 200 programs and the elimination of 115 others. Some of the cutbacks that would impact Michigan included $2 million less to rid the Great Lakes of the zebra mussel, and broader cuts that include fewer funds for a low-income home- heating assistance program and oper- ating assistance to cities with mass transit services. "The president has made some tough choices and I am glad he did because it is the only way to get fed- eral spending under control," said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.). "Shrink this deficit because that directly leads to job creation. "Obviously, Congress is not go- cases we are going to go with him and go strongly with him." Levin said he would oppose the zebra mussel cuts, saying, "we have got to get rid of that pest or our Great Lakes are in danger." "The zebra mussel poses a serious threat to our ecosystem, fishing and shipping industries in the Great Lakes," said Rep. Bart Stupak (D- Menominee). "Cutting federal money for zebra mussel eradication would be unwise and ultimately more ex- pensive for Michigan's taxpayers." Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit), said he wants to make sure that bud- get cutting doesn't mean forestalling progress in Detroit and elsewhere. "I believe that the proposed reor- dering of urban mass transit, housing, and lead-paint programs have to be given a strong second look by the Congress, particularly as they affect cities like Detroit whose economic turnaround relies heavily on these programs," Conyers said. Low-income home heating assis- tance for Michigan would drop to $40.3 million, down from $79.1 mil- lion, according to an analysis by the See BUDGET, Page 2 See INDIANA, Page 8 1 Jerry Erickson gives graduate engineer Gunnard Johnson a trim yesterday.

B FvArw 91 WASHINGTON (AP) - The Clinton administration called on its allies yesterday to extend a protective shield to civilians in Sarajevo by threatening air strikes if Bosnian Serbs continue their attacks. No more empty threats, the president said. The aim is to end the siege of the Bosnian capital, where 68 civilians were killed and some 200 injured in a mortar attack on a Muslim marketplace Saturday. It would require a change of heart by many of the European governments to whom the Clinton administra- tion has assigned the primary responsibility for ending the fighting in the Balkans. In Houston, Clinton was asked why the Serbs should take this latest threat of air strikes seriously, given the West's previous saber-rattling. "Let's see what happens in the next 'couple of days," the president said. "You know what I feel about that. I don't think we should have any more empty threats." The NATO allies last year blocked a U.S. appeal to, both lift an arms embargo against the Muslim-led govern- ment and to bomb Bosnian Serb artillery and mortar sites if attacks continued. Partly out of concern U.N. peacekeepers might get caught in the cross-fire, the allies shied away from force- ful intervention. Continued blood-letting in what Secre- tary of State Warren Christopher called "unacceptable actions" by the Serbs was expected this time to result in allied unity. "We expect the North Atlantic Council will decide on a course of action, on an overall strategy, within the next few days," Christopher said after President Clinton's senior advisers met for a second day at the White House. The NATO meeting will be held tomorrow in Brus- sels, Belgium. The ambassadors to NATO from the allied countries are expected to attend. In Brussels yesterday, European Union foreign minis- ters urged the NATO nations to use all means to lift the siege of Sarajevo, including the use of air power.

U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali on Sunday asked the NATO 16 allies to authorize use of air power in response to the shelling of Sarajevo. Clinton said he had long hoped the U.N. official would take the step. The president said, though, that "until those folks get tired of killing each other over there bad things will continue to happen," Christopher said he expected the NATO Council to approve Boutros-Ghali's proposal to give commanders on the ground authority to call for air attacks. 'U' alum gets 8 years for By LARA TAYLOR DAILY STAFF REPORTER Phil Pavlik, a recent University graduate, was sen- tenced to eight years in the State Prison of Southern Michigan in Jackson last Tuesday for making and selling the drug CAT, a methadone-based stimulant similar to battery acid. According to a friend who knew Pavlik briefly, Pavlik's father is a chemistry professor at Northern Michigan University and Pavlik was familiar with the science. He and his brother created their own version of a recipe for CAT several years ago and began to make and sell it out of their home in Marquette in the Upper Peninsula. Pavlik apparently sold CAT cheaply and even helped people learn how to use it. CAT was an obscure drug used in Siberia in the 1950s. Someone from the University's chemistry depart- ment, who wished to remain anonymous, said obtaining the ingredients and making CAT is not difficult or expen- sive.
