2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 6, 1994 IS IT REAL OR IS IT ... North Korea refuses U.N. calls for nuclear inspection TOKYO (AP)-- North Korea re- jected a U.N. Security Council call for thorough inspections ofits nuclear sites, and said Monday that it plans to "nor- malize" its nuclear activities. U.S. State Department spokesper- son Michael McCurry said in Wash- ington it was not clearwhat "normaliz- ing" might mean. He again asked Pyongyang to let international inspec- tors complete their scrutiny of seven suspectsites. In making a similar request last week, the Security Council urged the North to allow inspections of nuclear facilities at Yongbyon, 56 miles north of Pyongyang, its capital. The North accused theUnited States on Monday of manipulating the coun- cil and demanded an apology from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear controls watchdog, for"joining force with the United States in its intrigues against" the North. "Since the United States has opted ... to put pressure on ... (North Korea), we cannot but normalize our peaceful nuclear activities," said a statement by its Foreign Ministry, carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency, KCNA. The Communist North is under in- creasing pressure to prove it is not developing a nuclear arsenal. It has insisted for more than a year that its nuclear program is peaceful, while it bars IAEA inspectors from facilities thatcan produce plutonium, which can be used to make nuclear weapons. McCurry said a report that North Korea has doubled its capacity to pro- duce plutonium disturbs Washington, but no evidence has been reported that the enhanced technology has been used for weapons. U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry said Sunday that the United States was willing to risk provoking a war to keep North Korea from speeding up nuclear weapons development. Hesaid the CIA believes the North already has up to two nuclear bombs and is work- ing on more. On Monday, an official of pro- Western South Korea questioned the CIAreport. "There is no unanimous opinion on it even in the United States," Assistant Foreign Minister Choi Dong-jin said in Seoul, capital of South Korea. "No one seems to have clear evi- dence that North Korea has developed nuclear weapons or not." And the South's vice foreign min- ister, Hong Soon-young, said Sunday Seoul should consider dropping its de- mand foran envoy exchange with North Korea as a major concession toward breaking the Korean nucleardeadlock.

I TUITION Continued from page Z sociate Director of Housing Dave Foulke said one of the reasons that the increase in room and board rates is higher for Unversity students is the difference in expenses between the two schools. For example, Foulke said, the Uni- versity of Michigan has to pay for the $6.5 million for renovations currently underway at Mary Markley and South Quad residence halls. "But Michigan State has paid off their debts," he said. In addition, Foulke said Univer- sity of Michigan students pay more for room and board than MSU stu- dents because the University's resi- dence halls are entirely self-support- ing, with residents paying for all ser- vices and programming. On the other hand, MSU might use other sources for funding, Foulke said. Lisa Baker, director of public af- fairs for the University of Michigan, said the University does not make comparisons between the two schools. "We don't have the same set of con- ditions as Michigan State," she said. Alhough the University will not make any decisions regarding tuition rates until July, Baker said most people are pleased with the University's at- tempt to maintain low rates. State school tuition to increase by less this year LANSING (AP) - The bad news is college tuition in Michigan is still going up. But there's good news. The increases are looking like they'll be lower than they have for years. Since 1986, tuition at Michigan's 15 public universities has increased an average of 8.3 percent annually, Booth Newspapers reported yester- day. The annual average tuition bill at a public university in Michigan is $3,200. But Michigan State University's board of trustees voted last week to increase tuition in the fall by 3.5 per- cent. That move "sets expectations for what fair tuition is," said William Sederburg of Public Sector Consult- ants Inc., a Lansing-based think tank. "This is what everybody will use to compare tuition."' State Sen. John Schwarz (R-Battle Creek) said MSU's action "sends a strong message to other schools that it's possible to budget for the next academic year using restraint." Michigan's 14 other public uni- versities won't set tuition rates until summer, but some told Booth they expected increases to come in at 6 percent or less. Patrick LaPine, legislative direc- tor for the Michigan Collegiate Coa- lition, a student lobbying group, said his organization is encouraging uni- versities to keep tuition increases at the inflation rate of 3 percent. "That's more than realistic," LaPine said. "If it doesn't happen, students should be outraged." Saginaw Valley State University is considering a 5 percent increase. Lake Superior State a 3.5 percent in- crease, down from 18.8 percent last year, and Grand Valley State said it looks to increase by 3 percent or less. Central Michigan said it would like an increase around 5 percent; Western Michigan about 6 percent. Sell it . . find it! The Daily Classifieds! I FUNDING Continued from page 1. tatives at the time. Stern proposed a motion moving $10,000 to AATU, which failed in a 20-15 vote. "I think this Mr. Scrooge mental- ity is out of line," said Rackham Rep. Roger DeRoo. "I think we should just give them their money." Then-Vice President Brian Kight urged the assembly to vote against restoring funding to AATU. "I don't buy the excuses we were given. I think it was very clear on the resolution that it was 180 days," Kight said. Despite gaining continued support from the assembly at last night's meet- ing, AATU will likely have to fight once again for continued support. In her campaign, Neenan pledged to change the funding procedure for AATU, which would most likely cut its funding. AATU currently receives a line- item on MSA's budget. Neenan pro- poses changing this to make AATU funded like any other student organi- zation.

Each module will run for one third of a semester and will be a one credit course. In many cases multiple modules can be combined to make up a traditional course. Students may choose from the various modules to create a program that best fits their educational objectives and interests. Microbiology 501, 502, and 503 collectively provide an advanced introductory course designed for upperclass undergraduate and beginning graduate students interested in health sciences. The three modules will be offered consecutively and will meet MWF from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. Prerequisite-first year biochemistry or permission of course director Module I (9/9-10/10) Microbiology 501-Introductory Microbiology (I credit) Module II(10/12-11/9) Microbiology 502-Introductory Immunology (I credit) Module III (11/11-12/12) Microbiology 503-Introductory Virology (1credit) KOOP Continued from page 1 their interest in the course. The review committee may use a lottery system to decide which stu- dents will be given a spot, according to the application. Wallan also noted that seniors will be given preference. The course meets for a four-hour lecture October 5, and another three- hour lecture the following morning. Expectations include a 20-page paper on the changing health care system, which Koop will speak on. Koop will also deliver a public lecture in Rackham Auditorium Oct. 5, which Wallan says will fill easily, due to the interest in the class. The DeRoy professorship was founded in 1981 by the Helen L. DeRoy Testementary Foundation, and has allowed the Honors Program to host individuals such as Dr. W. Michael Blumenthal, a former secre- tary of the treasury. MSA Continued from page 1 was not complete because the MSA Election Court did not post the full text of the referendum question in the MSA offices and did not post notifi- cation of any hearing to determine the wording of the ballot question -re- quired by the MSA Compiled Code. "I think it's sore-loser tactics," said former President Craig Greenberg. "The constitution passed. If people want to change it, then let them try it next fall." The constitution, which was pro- posed by Neenan's Michigan Party, passed narrowly in the last election and has already taken effect. If CSJ declares the constitution invalid, the assembly would return to acting un- der the old constitution. In addition to the CSJ suit, Whittaker also proposed amendments to the new constitution. When Stern said Whittaker could not discuss the amendments during a first read to the assembly, Whittaker proceeded to read the document - word-by-word. * Overview & strategies for success!!!
