WE F' Unily Duderstadt By RONNIE GLASSBERG Daily Staff Reporter LSA officials believed they finally ended the three-year saga on questionable communi- cation department endowment spending by pro- posing new guidelines earlier this month. ButUniversity PresidentJamesJ.Duderstadt *erted Friday that LSA Associate Dean John Cross "misspoke" when he said the guidelines would go into effect, pending approval of a University attorney. In June, an internal auditor's report showed One hundred three years of editorial freedom promises Comm. endowments will be restored I the communication department had misspent three of its endowments. Duderstadt told the University Board of Regents at its June meeting that LSA would fully restore the questioned funds to the endowments. Cross, however, said the college would only restore questioned funds that do not fit into the new guidelines, created after the auditor's re- port. "He is wrong. I talked to the dean," Duderstadt said. "The University, not the de- partment, will determine whether the funds are reimbursed." Duderstadt said LSA Dean Edie N. Goldenberg had not seen the new guidelines at the time of Cross' statement, and she had many changes to propose. Goldenberg could not be reached for com- ment yesterday. Both Cross and John Chamberlin, associate deans working in Goldenberg's office, had said the guidelines were final, pending approval by a University attorney. Yesterday, Chamberlin backed off his ear- tier statement and said the review of the guide- lines will continue, and emphasized they do not yet stand in final form. "People in the Fleming Building have com- mented on them. Every time someone com- ments on them, we have further discussions," Chamberlin said. The questioning of the endowments started with an Aug. 30, 1991 letter to Duderstadt and Walter Harrison, then-executive director for University relations, on the use of the endow- ments. The letter was from an attorney for Wesley MaurerSr. Maurer was close friends with Harry and Helen Weber, who established one of the three misspent endowments. As chair of the University's former journalism department, Maurer encouraged the Webers to set up the endowment. On Jan. 9, 1991, Regent Philip Power (D- Ann Arbor) sent a letter to Duderstadt, Goldenberg, Harrison and Provost Gilbert R. Whitaker Jr. questioning the use of the Marsh See GUIDELINES, Page 2 U.S. takes city; Haitian police beat 1 to death From Daily Wire Services PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -As combat-ready Ameri- can troops looked on, Haitian police and soldiers beat at least one person to death yesterday and wounded several ers to break up crowds that gathered by the tens of usands here to cheer the arrival of U.S. forces. Earlier in Cap Haitien, within minutes of an overwhelm- ing and unresisted landing by sea and air, 1,500 U.S. Marines secured the port and airport. The Marines established their perimeter along a main street at the port, blocking off side streets with concertina wire and posting guards. At each one, the Marines stared across the wire at curious Haitians, including women portecting themselves from the hot Caribbean sun with -gasols. Twenty-fourhours after the Americans began landing in an effort to end brutal military rule as part of "Operation Uphold Democracy," the confrontations highlighted both local tensions and the delicacy of the U.S. position here. The police were operating under an American policy that leaves the responsibility for maintaining civil order to the Haitian army, among the most brutal in the world and until recently labeled "thugs" by U.S. officials. The worst of the violence came at this capital's seaport in front of heavily armed American troops from the 10th untain Division, at the entrance of an industrial park ed by the Americans as a supply depot and in view of the office of Haitian Army commander Raoul Cedras. By late afternoon, one Haitian was confirmed beaten to death by police, with dozens of others hurt. There were reports of at least two other deaths. The blue-uniformed police and brown-suited army riot units, long accustomed to using violence against even peaceful demonstrators, were under orders "to stay away from Americans but defend your dignity." The dead man, so far unidentified, was standing with *eral hundred other men on a corner about 50 yards away from the seaport's main gate. Witnesses said about five or six police suddenly ran at them, swinging their clubs. One man, a coconut vendor standing against a wall, fell to the ground, where he was kicked, clubbed with a wooden baton and battered with a five-foot long leather thong. He died, the witnesses said, after about five minutes of continu- ous clubbing. Yesterday's ugliness might have been even worse if not for the Americans, who rarely interfered but whose pres- e nearby seemed to restrain somewhat the Haitian police and army troops. There were no reports of shootings other than the firing of some tear-gas canisters, and the Haitian forces staged only sporadic raids and left quickly. Police reacted only to the crowds' existence and not to any provocation, although some in the crowd, which had been shouting pro-American slogans, threw rocks to slow the pursuing troops. As the gatherings grew large, "the police would come and start beating us," said Jean-Louis Ednar, who answered stions through broken teeth and bloody lips. "I came to port to watch the Americans come. I thought they would stop all of this." But Army Col. Barry Willey, spokesman for the U.S. forces in Haiti, said Tuesday there "had been no distur- bances or civil disorders ... requiring our involvement." Willey said the troops' job "is to establish a secure nvironment for the return of the legitimate government," ut he emphasized that the maintaining of order in the near future is being left to the Haitians. GLUED TO THE TUBE Sigma Phi Eps removes 4 for hazing By KATIE HUTCHINS Daily Staff Reporter Four members of Sigma Phi Epsi- lon have been removed from the fra- ternity and seven suspended, follow- ing an investigation of a Sept. 4 haz- ing incident. The fraternity's headquarters and a board of fraternity alumni announced the sanctions yesterday. In addition to the individual sanctions, the chapter's charter will remain revoked through December. University Sig Eps President Scott Sandler said yesterday, "We definitely are going to take this semester and make improvements in the house and improvements in ourselves." Other sanctions leveled against the fraternity includes 20 hours of com- munity service for all members, at- tendance at educational programs on hazing and other issues, and weekly meetings with Terry Landes, the Uni- versity fraternity coordinator.

MSA budget vote postponed until Sept.27 AATU protests funding cuts with referendum By CATHY BOGUSLASKI Daily Staff Reporter The Michigan Student Assembly will go without a budget for at least another week because of a dispute over funding for the Ann Arbor Tenants' Union (AATU). The vote on the budget was delayed until next week's meeting so MSA President Julie Neenan and AATU Coordinator Pattrice Maurer can meet to discuss future funding for the tenants' union, which receives about half of its budget from MSA. Maurer said the AATU has collected enough signatures on a referendum petition to make line-item funding a question on the November MSA ballot. "We collected 1,000 signatures between day and today," she said at yesterday's mee "It's not in anybody's best interest (for the i to come to a vote)." AATU's petition may prolong the bu process if a compromise is not reached. Delaying the budget vote also gives the sembly a chance to pass some procedural cha that affect the budget, said MSA Vice Presi Jacob Stern. The meeting between Neenan and Ma was planned after last week's MSA meetin which the elimination of the tenants' union f ing was proposed. AATU received about $22 from the assembly last year. Maurer said that many students had expre support of AATU, both to her office and dire to MSA. MSA hopes some compromise could reached, said Neenan. However, Neenan sa will be difficult for MSA to give the mone AATU.
