2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 12, 1994 HOUSING Continued from page 1 triples and so forth. Accompanying this drop has been an intense advertising campaign to convince students to "Come Back". Radio and newspaper advertisements have urged students who are living off campus to consider returning to the dorms. "We want you back," said Durst repeating the campaign mantra. The campaign is due in part to the drop, said officials in the Housing Division. "We're very concerned about this drop," said another Housing official, who asked not to be named. "This campaign will hopefully aid in pre- venting further drops." Durst agreed that further years of 100-person drops would cause the department to reassess its budget but still says this year's decrease is only "a blip." "If this continues, then we would have to look at making changes," Durst said. He noted that the University enjoys one of the highest occupancy rates in the Big Ten. Durst estimated the advertising budget at $2,000 or $3,000 for the campaign - funded through fees paid by students living in the dorms. The Housing Division is also urg- ing students who are looking for off- campus housing to come in for advice. But students like Julie Munger, an Engineering sophomore who has lived in Alice Lloyd for two years, say they have "had enough." "We're moving out. We lived in the dorms for two years. I want my own room," she said. Other changes have been made to make the residence halls more appeal- ing, including the addition of a 7-meal aweekplan and renovations of Markley and new elevators for South Quad. Additional renovations are being planned. Species threaten Great Lakes EAST LANSING (AP) - Exotic creatures introduced into the Great Lakes, like the zebra mussel and the sea lamprey, pose a bigger threat than toxic pollution, a Michigan official said yes- terday. "I'm not saying don't spend money on the toxics," said G. Tracy Mehan, director of the Michigan Office of the Great Lakes. "I'm arguing we need to look at some of these ecological threats" which threaten the area's fish- ing and recreational opportunities. Mehan said exotic species prob- lems "are really bearing down hard on us right now, very quickly." He said there is "imminent danger of the fish- ery going into decline now." "We're seeing a real resurgence in the sea lamprey while we're cutting back treatment," Mehan said. He commented during the second day of the 4th annual zebra mussel conference at Michigan State Univer- sity. On Monday, he told the confer- ence that efforts to control toxic pollu- tion in the Great Lakes has dwarfed the fight against exotic species introduced through the St. Lawrence waterway and the discharge of ballast water from oceangoing freighters. Mehan said about 130 species not native to the Great Lakes have been introduced into the water system over the past several years. And, he said, "the valve is not shut off." "The bottom line is nobody is ip noring chemical threats. (But) we need to reaffirm and elevate these biological threats," he said. "Sometimes you have to wait until things reach adisasterstage," he added. SWARTHMORE Continued from page 1 the president of the college ... sees something is wrong here, either the penalty, the process or the procedure." Yearwood denied harassing his classmate and said she misinterpreted his actions. He said that he shaved his head last semester, revealing several scars, and that he "looks mean" when he's not smiling. His lawyer, Harvey Silverglate, said the case resulted from an "outra- geous infestation of political correct- ness." Clinansmith was away during the school's winter break and could not be reached for comment. After Clinansmith complained about Yearwood to the college, police and the Delaware County District Attorney's Office, Yearwood agreed to stay at least 40 feet away from her, But a disciplinary committee decided to suspend Yearwood for the spring semester for violating that agreement. Yearwood and Clinansmith both apppealed to the president of Swarthmore, resulting in Friday's de- cision. "I do not think I have a problem," Yearwood said. "They feel that I probably inadvert- ently, subconsciously, release intimi- dating vibes and that I need counseling to better understand what it is in my behavior that makes people feel that way and how to be perceived as less intimidating." RUSSIA Continued from page I. enemies, whose supporters had rioted in the streets. "Despite the diversity of parties in parliament, there is a fundamental ba- sis for constructive work together," Yeltsin said yesterday. He urged parliament to pass laws easing the transition to a market economy. "During the electoral campaign, a lot of fresh and original ideas were heard, which could provide a second wind to the economic reforms," he said. Since the stunning success of ex- treme nationalists and Communists in December's parliamentary elections, doubts have emerged about Yeltsin's commitment to his painful "shock therapy" reforms.: Yeltsin has ordered a Cabinet re- shuffling to trim the bureaucracy, and some reformers could lose their jobs. Yeltsin has pledged that Yegor Gaidar, architect of his free-market transition, will remain. Addressing the lower house, or Duma, Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin said yesterday that the government "must avoid unjustified lurches and shock-type decisions." "Society's patience is largely ex- hausted" with painful economic up- heaval, the prime minister said. "We are at a new stage in the reforms. The government's efforts will be concen- trated on stabilizing the economy and forming favorable conditions for Russia's manufacturers." Clinton is likely to propose ways the West could help develop a social safety net to help cushion Russians from the pain the reforms are causing. Parliament's two chambers opened separately, in temporary buildings in different parts of Moscow. The law- makers in both halls rose for Russia's new national anthem, "Glory to Rus- sia" from Mikhail Glinka's pre-revolu- tionary opera, "A Life for the Czar." Yeltsin addressed the 178-member Federation Council, which consists of two deputies from each of Russia's regions and republics, in a cramped hall of a former journalists' building. Chernomyrdin spoke to the 450- member Duma, elected from geo- graphic districts and from party lists of candidates. The Duma convened in a shod skyscraper next to the old parliamenT building, the White House. The sky- scraper, which once housed the Soviet trading bloc Comecon, suffered heavy damage in the October violence. Zhirinovsky captured the most at- tention during the chaotic Duma ses- sion, by criticizing Clinton for refusing to meet with him. The outspoken na- tionalist also said Russia doesn't nea Western economic aid. The Duma is expected to be deeply divided since no party holds a majority. Zhirinovsky controls 64 seats, the sec- ond largest faction after the 94 seats held by Gaidar's Russia's Choice coa- lition.

NATO Continued from page 1 "We still need the approval for a first strike" from U.N. Secretary-Gen- eral Boutros Boutros-Ghali, he said. Boutros-Ghali said that if U.N. mili- tary, humanitarian and political offi- cials on the scene ask for air strikes, he will immediately ask NATO to carry them out. He said NATO's statement demon- strated "a political will to do some- thing." The NATO leaders raised the pros- pect of bombing raids to evacuate the Canadians from Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia and force open the airport at Tuzla, a key conduit for aid to the north. "We've asked the Serbs several times to open Tuzla. They refused," said French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe. "Now we've decided to do it anyway." The allies also reaffirmed their readiness to conduct air strikes "to pre- vent the strangulation of Sarajevo, the safe areas and other threatened areas of Bosnia-Herzegovina." The allies seemed to move closer t military intervention in th conflictra ing on their doorstep. More than 200,000 people have died since fighting broke out when Bosnian Serbs rebelled against inde- pendence from Yugoslavia nearly 21 months ago. The Bosnian crisis dominated the final day of the NATO summit. The leaders declared a readiness to let their former foes in Eastern Euro* join the elite fraternity one day. The allies did not draw up a time- table or a list of candidates formember- ship. In their final statement, they en- dorsed the U.S. proposal for a"Partner- ship for Peace," which invites East Europeans to take part in military exer- cises and other limited activities. "The offer is there," NATO Secr- tary-General Manfred Woerner saic "The door is open." From Brussels, Clinton flew to the Czech capital Prague to try to sell lead- ers of that new democracy, as well as Poland and Hungary, on the alliance's plan for limited partnerships. GMAT Continued from page 1 use the test to determine the language skills of students. Lieberthal added that some international students re- ceive help with their applications, but the GMAT essays will be a more accurate representation of the appli- cants' abilities. "We are assured that we are get- ting a bona fide writing sample," she said. She added that the University will probably use the essays as a diagnos- tic tool for placing both international and domestic students in writing tuto- rials. "Exclusion is not the goal," she said. Although the University is not currently planning to reject students based on the essays, many studen4 fear other business schools may use them in this way. Yutaka Torigoe, a native of Japan and graduate student in the school of business administration, took the GMAT exam. He said the essay re- quirement might have jeopardized his admission to the University due to the language barrier. But many students agreed th communication skills are a necessi in the business community. Bradley Arnold, a graduate stu- dent in the school of business admin- istration, said, "The chance to evalu- ate someone on their writing ability I think is relevant ... That is life - extra time, extra pressure." Rwi,-,,your own compainyat 26. We're looking for a few good college students and graduates who can fill the shoes of a Marine Corps officer.
