The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 30, 1994 - 5 *Campus TV station debut is a .'Big Bang' By MAGGIE WEYHING Daily Staff Reporter The University has many newspa- pers, a yearbook and a radio station. Now, it has its own televison sta- tion. This fall marks the first year of WOLV, the new student-run television *station, located on the ninth floor of South Quad and broadcasting to dorms campuswide on cable Channel 60. WOLV kickoffed its inaugural broadcast last night at 8, airing "Big Bang: TheNewMichiganExperience," a program that Danny Schwaab, LSA .junior and president of WOLV, and other club members worked on during most of last year. Schwaab described *the show as an "entertaining and comi- cal look at the University." Schwaab said he transferred to the University from Franklin Marsh Col- lege in Pennsylvania that had a stu- dent television station and was shocked that there was not already a program here. "I came here expecting a similar, and possibly even more of an elabo- rate situation, I was very surprised when I did not find one," he said. To get the station started, Schwaab met with Randall Root, a Housing Police respond to drunK men Ann Arbor Police responded to a disturbance on Packard Street early Tuesday morning. Several intoxicated men were running up and down the 800 block of Packard, yelling ob- scenities and throwing garbage. AAPD asked the men to return to their home. No arrests were made. ON.

Schwaab said, "We were both thinking of the same idea at the same time, however I was looking for administrative support while he was looking for student support." Schwaab stressed that the only prerequisite for becoming a mem- ber of WOLV is to be a student at the University. He stressed that the sta- tion will be completely student-run. "We want complete student input. I never wanted this to be my club, I want it to be our (the students') club. The things that you will see on P -C Police Beat lf% pains.

A man not affiliated with the Uni- versity was charged with fradulent activity yesterday between 4 and 5 p.m. The man was soliciting funds for an AAPD juvenile finger-printing program. The recommended "dona- tion" was $280. AAPD has said that this program is completely "bogus." - Complied by Daily Staff Reporter Lara Taylor the air are going to be students' ideas," he said. Schwaab said that students will be working the cameras, writing and com- ing up with the ideas for shows, as well as acting in them. He encourages those who are interested in participating in any particular area of production to join as soon as possible before more stu- dents join. "I promise that anyone who wants to join now, will be able to fulfill their goals easily," he said. Schwaab also said WOLV is look- ing for diversity among its members. He said, "We are not solely looking for communications majors to join, we want all kinds of students as well. We really encourage freshmen to join - they usually come to the Univer- sity bright-eyed and often see things that students who have been here for a while do not." The content of the programs that will be airing on WOLV throughout the year will be widespread. Schwaab said, "We will have all sorts of shows - game shows, newscasts, sports events and sports highlights. How- ever, we're always looking for new ideas." Law review advances to information superhighway Sorority rush ends tomorrow; fraternities started passing out bids yesterday By AMY KLEIN For the Daily Three weeks into fall semester, sorority and fraternity rush are com- ing to an end. For sororities, the last two weeks of parties and mixers cul- minate Sunday with "bid day." Fra- ternities have been distributing their bids since yesterday. Major changes in sorority rush policy and a recent fraternity hazing incident have failed to discourage rushees. The Office of Greek Life reports that rush numbers are higher than ever, but is waiting until rush is over to release the numbers. Changes in the formal sorority rush originated in the National Panhellenic Conference this past year in response to intense competition between houses on other campuses. As a result, the amount of money sororities spend on rush has been reduced, singing out- side on the lawns has been eliminated and the rush process is more casual. Mary Beth Seiler, a Panhel ad- viser, believes that the University al- ready met many of the new require- ments before this fall. "The National Panhellenic Con- ference was looking at campuses where women were buying matching formal dresses for Final Desserts. We know that is not what the houses are really about. They are about the people, not who sings the loudest or dresses the fanciest," Seiler said. Rushees appreciate the chance to look beyond the appearance of a house. "Rush started off as very fake. It was all, 'Hi, what's your name, where are you from?' Then as it went on, I think the whole process, the parties, the people, have all gotten more natural. You're able to get a real idea of the houses separate from just reputations," said Erica Lambert, a first-year LSA rushee. Also, without sacrificing any of the four sets, the traditional three-weekrush was exchanged for a more intense two- week period. This change, however, has received mixed reactions. "It's difficult this year. The rush period is shorter this year and it's inhibiting everyone involved from keeping up with classes and home- work. On one hand, it's good because rushees are placed quickly, yet at the same time we're all exhausted from late weeknight parties and meetings," said sorority member Jessica Mass, an LSA sophomore. Panhel also works to make rush more open by eliminating the previ- ous $25 participation fee, releasing interested students from any initial commitment. Panhel's goal remains placing as many students as possible into sorori- ties. Seventeen out of the 26 Univer- sity sororities participate in formal rush, and this year quotas have been set on the number of students each house invites back. Seiler hopes this practice will force the houses to make commitments and prevent the rushees from feeling strung along. "It's a mutual selection process. Although the chances are better than ever this year of placing the women, attitudes do enter the pic- ture and the rushees are cutting houses, too," Seiler said. In comparison, fraternity rush is less structured, as the individual houses bear the majority of rush re- sponsibility. "If the house is doing a good job rushing then it's going to survive. If they're lazy, sit back, and do nothing, then they'll go under.It's happened before," said Terry Landes, a fraternity coordinator. Although one fraternity house faced hazing charges last week, Landes believes fall rush has been relatively unaffected. "We'd be crazy to think this inci- dent didn't shy some people away, but I think-people have realized that not all fraternities do things like this. I've gotten very positive feedback about rush, and the numbers of stu- dents rushing are up," Landes said. Last week on the Diag, the two- day Fraternity Forum provided stu- dents with the opportunity to talk with fraternities casually on neutral ground. The remaining structured event was a mass meeting outside the Michigan Union Ballroom. The Inter-Fraternity Council sim- ply requires that "dry" rush be ob- served during the following days of parties. Other than a few rules, the fraternities are on their own. "Women and men are very different," Landes said. "Men are competitive by nature, whereas with women, the role of rush is to keep everyone even." While fraternity rush is more re- laxed, some believe this doesn't give rushees the chance to visitevery house. "Rush is great, but the only shortcom- ing as a rushee is that you don't get to find out about many fraternities. Repu- tation and word of mouth play a big roles. We get targeted by people on the Hill, which means we don't get to meet a lot of great guys from Southor West Quad simply because they haven't heard of us," said fraternity member and LSA sophomore Adam Bernstein. Fraternity rush is also a faster pro- cess than sorority rush. While soror- ity rushees have a Saturday round of parties and receive their bids on Sun- day, the fraternities already started distributing bids yesterday. By MICHELLE LEE THOMPSON Daily Staff Reporter Starting in February, there will be a new student publication on campus. But you won't be able to pick it up next to the Daily or the Review on the newsstand. You will be able to tap in online, though, as The Michigan Telecom- munications and Technology Law Review is America's first fully online law review, and will be published on Lexis/Nexis. - "The chief bonus of that group will be that each article will have an interactive aspect," said Erin Rodriguez, managing editor of the publication. Resources including electronic mail and bulletin boards will be employed - and students are using such resources more and more often. The Law Review is holding the first in a series of symposiums to call for papers to be published in this unique forum today, beginning at 9 a.m. in Hale Auditorium in the Busi- ness School. "Competition and the Information Superhighway" is being sponsored by the Law, Business and Public Policy graduate divisions. The publi- cation itself is the product of a group of Law students who began work last spring. The inaugural issue will come out in February, and will include pa- pers from today's symposium. The morning session of the pro- gram will deal with regulatory and legislative issues pertaining to elec- tronic information access and the ef- fect that the recent surge in telecom- munications will have on regional Bell operating companies. Focusing on marketing aspects, the afternoon sessions will include discussion of mergers and acquisi- tions such as those at AT&T. Tele- communication service companies like AT&T will be represented at the conference. "Basically, what the mar- ket is doing right now and what it will be doing in the future," Rodriguez said. Other issues that will be posted in the first issue will include global as- pect reports from Washington, D.C., and papers from partners in many law firms. "The great thing about telecom- munications itself is that it encom- passes so many issues in the business world," Rodriguez said, citing the importance of a publication via tele- communications about telecommu- nications. HtAITI Continued from page 1 *for their ousting of Aristide. Witnesses said that yesterday's grenades were thrown by known members of a civilian terrorist wing of the Haitian army, at least one of whom was later tracked by a U.S. military police dog team that led him away in handcuffs. The final death toll from the sec- ond attack on peaceful demonstra- tors in two days was incomplete by dusk yesterday, but eyewitnesses, hospitals, the Haitian Red Cross and U.S. officials agreed that the total of people killed or wounded was more than 40. A passing U.S. Army patrol stumbled onto the incident and opened fire just moments after the explo- sions. It was unclear whether the American forces hit any of the dem- onstrators or any of the attackers, but at least one of attackers was reported among the dead. U.S. Army Col. John Ryneska, who also happened by the scene soon after the attack occurred, said none of the American forces was injured, and he confirmed that at least one Haitian had been detained after the attack. .SANCTIONS Continued from page 12 that, even in the case of South Africa, the Council had not lifted sanctions until that country had complied with *all U.N. anti-apartheid resolutions. This prompted U.S. Ambassador Madeleine K. Albright to insist, "Let me be clear. My government be- lieves that voting today is the right choice. By voting today, we promote the early departure of the coup lead- ers, the early return of President Aristide, and thus the early restora- tion of democracy to Haiti." The simply-worded, relatively short resolution would disband an array of strictures imposed on Haiti to punish its military rulers for re- fusing to step down in favor of Aristide. The sanctions, which have crippled Haiti's economy, include a ban on all trade (this also affects oil shipments) and a halt in all financial transactions. By a 13-0 vote, with the two ab- stentions, the Council decided the sanctions would end a minute after midnight EDT "on the day after the return" of Aristide. g5 u-s 3~, 3u-u Correction According to internal audit of the communication department endowments, the use of the Weber account to support travel and hosting expenses that do not directly support the internship program are not prohibited by the endowment.
