trrn Unily Assembly By CATHY BOGUSLASKI Daily Staff Reporter In an emergency meeting yesterday, the Michigan Student Assembly agreed to provide $2,000 to the Ann Arbor Tenants' Union (AATU), a fraction of the interim funding re- quested. Last year, MSA allocated $24,320 to AATU. MSA members who support the tenants' union obtained a temporary restraining order from the Central Student Judiciary (CSJ). The order prevents MSA from spending money, until a hearing can be held. AATU supporters allege that several MSA members were not duly informed of the meet- One hundred four years of editorial freedom slashestenants'union fundingby $22,000 ing, as the MSA Complied Code requires, said LSA Rep. Dante Stella. CSJ will hear the case at 6:30 p.m. Monday. In a move led by Michigan Party members, funds that had been cut from the internal budget in order to fund AATU were transferred into MSA's Student Lobbying Fund, which now totals $26,750. The assembly approved its ex- ternal budget, 12-10, leaving no additional funds for AATU. Only 23 members attended-the minimum needed to conduct a meeting. MSA has allocated $2,000 from its surplus and reserve budget for the tenants' union. "I personally think (AATU) received $2,000 more than they should have. That's $2,000 more than any other student organization has received from MSA (in this manner)," said MSA Vice President Jacob Stern. LSA Rep. Jonathan Freeman said he made a last-ditch effort to compromise. "I offered a compromise to Julie (Neenan, MSA president,) an hour before this meeting," Freeman said. The compromise included raising the stu- dent fee by five cents, and taking money from the surplus budget and distributing it between the lobbying fund and the AATU, he said. "Obviously, Julie doesn't want to be an effec- tive leader, and didn't want to compromise ... Neenan could not be reached for comment. Freeman said the assembly members who support AATU would find a way to restore funding. Pattrice Maurer, AATU coordinator, said "I think there's going to be a move to contest the vote. In my opinion, a vote of 12-10 cannot possibly be considered appropriate. Even if it meets the letter of their rules, it violates the spirit of democracy." "(The tenants' union) are committed to find a way to continue to provide our services to students. We will work to get our funding restored by any means necessary," she contin- ued. Several students attended the meeting in hopes to speak in favor of AATU funding, but could not, since the emergency meeting did not provide constituents' time, as normal meetings do. Michelle Dawson, an LSA senior, said, "As a constituent, as a student and as a person who has been interested in MSA, I really do not understand what purpose this meeting served." She pointed to the "senseless arguing" of the assembly, and the close vote as evidence that there is still dissent among assembly members. "I believe that any funding AATU needs, it should be allotted, because it is an invaluable service," she continued. M.' looks to recoup against Hawkeyes By RACHEL BACHMAN Daily Football Writer It would -be understandable for ary Moeller to lose confidence after ast Saturday's punch-in-the-stomach f a game. With Colorado nearly oped, the coach saw his team lose in e most dramatic and shocking way ssible - on a desperation pass with time left. 's keep things in perspective. Moeller's Wolverines (2-1) will in Iowa City tomorrow at 3:30 to e on the Hawkeyes (2-2). His team s still ranked among the nation's top 10. And he has the respect and admi- ation of one of college football's ost revered coaches: Hayden Fry. Things could be worse. When asked what it would take his team to beat, Michigan, Fry ied, "For them to forfeit." How's that for a confidence ooster? For another shot in the arm, oeller can look at Iowa's record this eason. It includes a 40-18 loss to regon and victories over unranked owa State and Central Michigan. "We took a beating-up at Penn te and then we played on artificial at Oregon," Fry said. "We have ot an awful lot of youngsters that are 'ot going to practice this week just in opes that they're going to be able to lay in the (Michigan) ball game." But the outcome of Saturday's ame is not a foregone conclusion. e No. 1 reason why is the Hawkeye ffense.

Try 1999 U experts say Congress may have missed best opportunity Los Angeles Times PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A grenade attack on a pro-democracy demonstration yesterday killed at least five people and wounded more than 30 in a bloody act of resistance by Haiti's military dictatorship and its murderous supporters. The killings came on the eve of the third anniversary of the violent over- throw of the country's only democrati- cally elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, whose impending return has been marked repeatedly in recent days by sneak attacks, beatings and shootings of his supporters. According to witnesses, hundreds of demonstrators marching between downtown and the city's airport were passing a warehouse owned by Lt.Col. Michel-Joseph Francois, Haiti's feared police chief and a leader of the ruling military junta, when at least one gre- nade was thrown from a car that may have emerged from the building. Paradoxically, Francois, one of the three Haitian officers who have ruled Haiti with violence and corruption since the coup, was reported by friends and U.S. military sources to have packed up his office and was preparing to leave the country within days. Francois thus would be the first of the three Haitian military leaders to accede to U.S. and U.N. demands that they leave power or face punishment See HAITI, Page 5 U.N. to lift sanctions after Aristide returns Los Angeles Times UNITED NATIONS - After hearing Secretary of State Warren Christopher report Haitians now "enjoy their first respite from ter- ror in three years," the U.N. Secu- rity Council voted yesterday to lift all sanctions against Haiti on the day after President Jean-Bertrand Aristide returns to power. But there were two glaring ab- stentions - Brazil and Russia. Brazil abstained as a protest against foreign troops occupying a Latin American country. Russia abstained because it said the Clinton administration was too hasty in pushing a resolution through the Council before Haiti's military leaders had been removed and Aristide restored. The Russian abstention was a surprise. But Russian Ambassador Sergei V. Lavrov expressed his displeasure that the Council had not even received an assurance from the United States that the Haitian military leaders would leave Haiti. And he noted sharply See SANCTIONS, Page 5 By SCOT WOODS Daily Staff Reporter January 1999.1n the middle'of his first term, Republican President Colin Powell takes the podium to speak on the State of the Union. He tells us the ranks of those with- out health care have grown steadily, administrative costs are out of hand and the cost of good health coverage is rising for all Americans. He lays it on the line: America needs to change its health care system significantly. Now. Of course, it is only speculation that Powell is Republican, and he may not run for president. But after Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell ,l his week pro-' nounced health care reform dead for 1994, that is among the most likely scenarios for reform, University ex- perts say. With major Republican gains ex- pected in both houses of Congress, the consensus is that Washington has missed a window of opportunity for meaningful health care reform, but law- makers will be forced to deal with the issue again in a few years. "Many people believe that in 1994, the conditions for major reform to happen were as good as they can get," said Leon Wyszewianski, an associ- ate professor in the Department of Health Services Management and Policy. "Since nothing happened, most people expect that the immediate fu- ture will bring incremental changes." Political Science Prof. John Campbell predicted, "There will be really substantial health-care reform within the next five years." Campbell suggested the possibility See HEALTH, Page 2 - - - oma rank By RONNIE G Daily Staff During World War I amily of Anne Fran ttic from the Nazis.

Y 9 - Average college tuition nses twice rate of Inflation By ANDREW TAYLOR Daily Staff Reporter College students face a greater increase in expenses each year than most Americans because tuition rises at twice the rate of inflation, according to a report released Wednesday. The average tuition at America's four-year colleges rose 6 percent this year, according to the College Board, an association of 2,800 higher-education institutions. Inflation last year was 2.7 percent and is projected to stay the same this year, said Jaquline King, a spokeswoman for the College Board. For a typical University of Michigan student, tuition rose 6.9 percent this year, marking the fourth time out of the past five years that the University tuition increase has outpaced the national average. "The national average looks at schools that are not like the University of Michigan," said Julie Peterson, director of news and information for the University. "It's interesting to look at the average but it doesn't really mean very much," Peterson said.
