SPRING Continued from page 1 LSA Dean Edie Goldenberg said the college is not upset that it will now share the stadium with the other schools. "We have had several wonderful LSA commencements, but I'm cer- tain the all-University commencement will also be wonderful, and it will address the concerns of students who want to share a common ceremony with their friends," she said. Whitaker said that by moving the ceremony to the stadium, most schools will be able to accomodate more guests. "There was a period where lots of students did not come, but now the tradition is back in full force," he said. Many schools and departments will hold individual recognition cer- emonies to honor graduates. University spokeswoman Lisa Baker said the individual ceremonies will still provide the intimacy that students experienced in smaller col- lege-specific commencements. The Rackham School of Graduate Studies will confer degrees at its own ceremony April 28 at 3 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. Non-Rackham graduate students will take part in unit-specific ceremonies. Professional schools also will hold separate commencement exercises. The undergraduate ceremony, open to all graduating seniors and guests, will be held April29 at 10 a.m. MSA President Julie Neenan said she is pleased with the change be- cause it encourages class unity. "We've gone to college together for the last four years," she said. Neenan confided that she hopes the speaker will be either President Clinton or Vice President Al Gore. She has written the White House on behalf of the student body to appeal for their presence at the April ceremony. Engineering senior Warren Johnson said he does not feel cheated by the University's decision to hold a combined commencement. "I think its a good idea because your putting all your energy into one ceremony instead of many small ones," he said. RALLY Continued from page 1 unacceptable." The rally and march were held in observation of International Human Rights Day "to protest the racism and xenophobia" of Proposition 187, which "denies basic human rights to basic groups of people," Pothukuchi asserted. LSA junior Sam Copi, 20; who was attending the protest and holding a banner that stretched across State Street, was arrested and charged with obstructing a police officer and fail- ure to obey the lawful order of a police officer. "There were 20 people in the street and she picked me out of the crowd," Copi asserted. "I was not warned that I would be arrested." Dreiling said the police ordered the crowd off the streets as the march passed the intersection of South Uni- versity and State Street, and it spilled onto the street a second time as the march neared Liberty Street. The arrest occurred after the of- ficer again ordered the protesters to vacate the street and continue their march on the sidewalk. "We shouldn't let (the arrest) dis.. tract us from the cause," Pothukuchi said. "The rally went on as planned." The protesters drew from student groups such as Alianza, Sigma Lambda Beta and the Public Health Student Association. They were sup- ported by Amnesty International, Bi- cultural Women's Group and at least 20 other groups. "It was good because a lot ofpeople that didn't know (about Propositio 187) were really receptive," Cisneros said. M-STOP-187 obtained a Univer- sity permit for the Diag rally and state and federal permits for the march and rally in front of the Federal Building, said Social Work graduate student and M-STOP-187 member Sara Shuffler. After the rally, about 25 protesters trekked to the Ann Arbor Police De* partment to rally in support of Copi's release, chanting and marching in front of the doors, Pothukuchi said. The group plans additional activi- ties to protest the law, such as advanc- ing a petition campaign and holding educational workshops. "We don't want this to die. We want this to keep going because it affects all groups," Shuffler said. MLK Continued from page 1 commemoration of Dr. King's life work that will always have an activist component and as a University there will be an academic component." Lester P. Monts, vice provost for academic and multicultural affairs, told the University Record for an article to be published today that the panel dis- cussions are reflective of the themes. "The panels are designed to allow dialogue between guest speakers and the audience. It is within these more intimate settings that learning can occur, information can be gathered, and individuals can express their opin- ions on the topic being discussed," Monts said. In addition, the BSU will sponsor its annual MLK Unity March on South University Avenue. The planning com- mittee has encouraged each University department to schedule programs for the entire week. This list will be re- leased at the beginning of next term. Jones-Coleman agreed. "I'm ex- cited about this year's program," he said. It is "a great day of events."

The lower channels (2-13) are VHF stations, which generally have a stronger signal but are mostly occu- pied by long-established networks. Murdoch invested $500 billion in New World Communications, which owns television stations all across the country, including Channel 2 in De- troit, so that affiliates with a better spot on the dial would carry Fox pro- grams. Channel 2 had been a CBS affili- ate owned by New World Communi- cations, which told CBS that the sta- tion would carry Fox beginning Dec. 11. CBS had to find a new station and purchased the independent Channel 62. The sale still awaits approval from the Federal Communications Com- mission. A group of local business owners had earlier tried to block the sale of the nation's first Black-owned TV station. Channel 50 will still retain some of Fox's children's programs, like "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," which are syndicated and will not transfer to Channel 2. Most shows will still be shown during the same time slot. How- ever, there will be some time changes. Late-nightTV fans will notice that the "Late Show with David Letterman" is now on at 11 p.m. on Channel 62. Cydni Colquitt, a Channel 50 rep- resentative, said the move will force Channel 50 to give up all of its prime time shows, such as "Melrose Place" and "The Simpsons," to Channel 2. Channel 50 plans to fill the gap with more movies and syndicated program- ming. Channel 2 has begun offering seven hours of news throughout the day. Channel 62, which does not cur- rently have a news program, will show all CBS programs, including daytime soap operas. Washtenaw County Columbia Cable subscribers can tune into Chan- nel 62 on 13, Channel 50 on 14, and Channel 2 on 2. Detroit's NBC and ABC affiliates - Channel 4 (WDIV-TV) and Chan- nel 7 (WXYZ-TV), respectively - will not be affected by the change. Nor will independent Channel 20 (WXON-TV), though it will become part of the Warner Bros. network in mid-January.

RUSSIA Continued from page 1 line factions of parliament and was most strongly condemned by demo- crats normally aligned with President Boris Yeltsin. They warned that Yeltsin's resort to military force in an internal conflict threatened the country's fragile democracy. Until late last night, Yeltsin had been virtually silent on the issue. He issued a statement calling the action necessary to prevent a "threat to the integrity of Russia" by the separatists. "Our goal is to find a political solution to the problems in one of the subjects of the Russian Federation - the Chechen Republic - and to pro- tect its citizens from armed extrem- ism," said Yeltsin's statement. The secretary provides an orienta- tion for all new regents and plans and implements all activities in support of the regents' role in the governance of the University. After members of the board ques- tioned the recent Nike endorsement deal, they ordered the secretary to prepare a summary of the guidelines behind these contracts. Cosovich said he hopes to have a new secretary appointed by the endof March.

And that is only one of the risks Yeltsin has incurred by sending troops toward Grozny.
