2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, December 8, 1994 TRAVEL Continued from page 1 year, for which no date has been set, Dale's attorneys are expected to portray both as "heavies" who ultimately caused his legal troubles. Robert S. Bennett, Thomason's Washington lawyer, said yesterday, "Mr. Thomason is not the target of any investigation. He did absolutely nothing improper and had no interest in getting the travel business." Cornelius could not be reached for comment. WhiteHousepress secretary Dee Dee Myers declined comment on the indict- ment but pointed out that the administra- tion had revamped the travel office last year and cooperated with investigators. In statements to reporters, Tabackman has suggestedhisclientwas made a scapegoat because presidential aides were embarrassed by the furor that arose over the firing of Dale and others. He has vowed to question everyone involved in the dismissals, including Thomason, Cornelius and possibly first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Congressional Republicans have said they may hold hearings on the matter next spring. Dale, who faces a maximum pos- sible punishment of 20 years in prison if convicted of the two-count indict- ment, began converting travel funds to his own use in February 1988 the grand jury charged. Prosecutors believe Dale used mediamoney to help build ahouse, but his friends insist he kept a cash fund only to take care of unexpected re- quests of the White House press corps. GREENSPAN Continued from page 1 of economic conditions in the nation's 12 Federal Reserve districts. The report issued yesterday said "re- tail salesinmostdistrictshaveiimproved, with nearly all districts reporting strong sales early in the holiday season. Manu- facturing activity is increasing further in most districts, especially in durable goods industries, and the service sector is continuing to show strength." Prices are rising for paper products, plastics, chemicals, steel and construc- tion materials, the report noted, and there is some tightening in labor mar- kets. As Greenspan testified, however, manufacturers have not yet been able to pass along these higher costs in the form of higher retail prices. CODE Continued from page 1 have two or more hearings in a year." Last winter, Student Affairs had three unsuccessful attempts at hear- ing changes to the code. The first hearing was canceled because of a January ice storm. The two other scheduled hearings could not proceed because they failed to reach a quorum of jurors. "I think traditionally they have problems with the amendment hear- ings because students really don't care," Stern said. At the last scheduled hearing, 25 student jurors attended the hearing - one short of quorum. "If you're one out of 25, it's easy to think someone else will be there. They won't miss me," Antieau said. "We're going to talk about the fact that 25 people came last time.... The personal choice of one became very, very important." To encourage student jurors to at- tend the amendment hearing this year, Antieau has altered the training session. The session will provide time to discuss and plan for the amendment hearing. "We're trying everything to en- courage people. We've never allo- cated hours to it," Antieau said.

Yesterday's weather was just what Engineering first-year student Darius Minai-Azary was hoping for. "I came to Michigan for snow," he said. "I wish that the snow and cold had come earlier, and I am defi- nitely happy to see it here now." Towing companies and ski resorts were also delighted - more snow means more business. "We're excited. Telephones are ringing off the hook. Every skier in southeast Michigan is home waxing their skis," said Greg Yost, promo- tions director of Mt. Brighton ski resort at Brighton, about 25 miles from Ann Arbor. By noon, hundreds of people had flocked to the slopes and the parking lot was nearly full, he said. AAA Michigan was also busy. The Dearborn-based auto club re- ported a 25-percent increase in calls for help Wednesday over the same time last week. By noon, AAA had taken almost 1,600 calls, most from people whose cars wouldn't start or were stuck, said spokeswoman Nancy Cain. "They're stuck all over," added Sharon Byers of Byers Wrecker Ser- vice of Rochester. "Their own drive- ways, ditches, freeways, someone else's driveway." For some, including avid snow- ball-fighters and creative worship- pers of the cold, the new snow opened a playground with limitless possibili- ties. More than 200 students joined in the annual South Quad vs. West Quad snowball standoff in the newly fallen snow Tuesday night. With snow hur- tling across the Madison Street neu- tral zone, students relieved end-of- term stress and enjoyed their fresh, white ammunition. More pacifist students decided to forego the multiple melees around campus to seek more constructive pursuits. L "Tuesday afternoon, when the snow started, I went out and a built a snowman on Palmer Field," sai Engineering first-year student JerreW Sherenco. "I was the first person out there." In Bay City, the snow was cred- ited with helping police track down two suspects. A 34-year-old man and his 21-year-old companion faced lar- zeny charges after they were spotted carrying Christmas wreaths allegedly stolen from Keit's Greenhouse, said Bay City police officer Barr* Kenyon, Officers nabbed the pair by track- ing footprints in the snow, he said. The sight of the first snowstorm also drew a few mixed comments from those who wandered outside. "Initially, I like the snow, but I don't like it when it gets slushy and gross," said LSA first-year student Beth Elrod. "That wet mess is not fu to walk through. This kind of weathei is good for a month or two, but around spring break I will be getting sick of it." Jac Matthews, a former Univer- sity student, said the snow serves a purpose, but once that purpose is over, he hates it. "I like the snow until Christmas, after that, the snow is bad," he said "The only reason I really like th9 snow now is for Christmas. Right after that, I start longing for the warm weather again." Unfortunately for those who didn't like yesterday's conditions, weather reports indicate that the snow is here to stay, at least for a while. Today's forecast calls for a break in the precipitation including partly sunny skies and high temperatures i the lower 30s. Tonight should b1 partly cloudy before midnight when mixed snow, sleet and freezing rain should top what is already on the ground. Temperatures are expected to re- main below 30 degrees for most of the weekend and there is a good chance of snow both Friday and Sat- urday. - The Associated Press contril uted to this report.

Upjohn is the producer of Depo- Provera, a contraceptive injection for women that was introduced in the United States last year. The contra- ceptive is injected once every three months and has been proven 99 per- cent effective since its 1969 release in New Zealand. McCormick will be joined in her presentation by Dr. Elizabeth Kennard, an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gyne- cology at Ohio State University. Since her days of stardom on the "Brady Bunch," McCormick has ap- peared in television shows, feature films, and most recently as Rizzo in the Broadway production of "Grease." "Birth Control Matters" visits about 12 universities and colleges annuall and will also visit Western Michiga University and Eastern Michigan Uni- versity while in the state.
