2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 18, 1994 FIRE Continued from page 12 Stuart said that she believes the fires are related. Neither AAPD nor the fire department currently have any suspects. "We're questioning a few people right now," Stuart said. "We have no idea if the person or persons are affili- ated with the University or not. No- body has been arrested yet." Fire officials said there seems to be no motive for setting the fires. All the fires are being investigated as arsons. SACUA Continued from page 1. The governance subcommittee of SACUA was charged in April to gather information on the actions of Goldenberg in suspending bylaws and other governance activities with the communication department. "Seven members of the communi- cation department approached SACUA in April and asked for our assistance," said SACUA Chair Jean Loup. "The potential that it could happen in other colleges provides the grounds for our concern." The four-member SACUA gover- nance subcommittee issued a report that was unfavorable to Goldenberg. "The suspension of faculty gover- nance by Dean Goldenberg taken without clear authority, without justi- fication, without due process and with- out consultation with the governing faculty,sets a bad precedent with respect to the responsibilities and au- thority of the faculty," the report stated. At a Jan. 14 meeting of the com- munication department faculty, Goldenberg suspended the depart- mental executive committee, the de- partmental bylaws and an ongoing search for a new faculty recruit. "It appears that the dean did not consult with the LSA Executive Com- mittee in the process of making these decisions, but rather informed them on Jan. 13, 1994 of her impending actions to be taken on Jan. 14," the report stated. According to the report, members of the executive committee said they were unable to discuss the situation because the committee meet- ings are confidential. "It is clear that with perhaps a few individual exceptions, the faculty of the communication department and Know of news?

But the letter from the LSA Ex- ecutive Committee disputed SACUA's assertion. "The dean and the elected mem- bers of the executive committee dis- cussed those circumstances and took steps to remedy the situation," the letter stated. Thomas Dunn, a member of the SACUA committee that prepared the report, de-emphasized the importance of the assembly's action. "rhis is exactly what we hoped, that it would go back to the executive committee," Dunn said. "Most of the authority within the University re- sides within the governing faculty. We obviously have some disagree- ments about where the authority is." Senate Assembly members raised concerns about the number individu- als consulted for the report, SACUA's stormy relationship with Goldenberg and the amount of information pre- sented. "I was concerned that there wasn't enough information to base a deci- sion," said Senate Assembly member Shelia Feld who voted against en- dorsing the report. The report charged that Goldenberg and the LSA Executive Committee refused to meet with the SACUA committee. "The committee did make every effort to meet with the executive com- mittee and that was refused," Dunn said. The report also said it was not possible to make arrangements for a meeting with Frank Beaver, former chair of the communication depart- ment and L. Rowell Huesmann, who became acting chair of the depart- ment after Goldenberg suspended the faculty governance. But Huesmann said at the meeting that he had been contacted by the committee and would have been will- ing to meet with them. Goldenberg, President James J. Duderstadt and Provost and Execu- tive Vice President for Academic Affairs Gilbert R. Whitaker Jr. have been openly critical of the communi- cation department, which ranked fourth in the 1993 Gourman Report. RAPE Continued from page 1 off campus," Betts said. "We still have people going about their lives in their own ways. On the one hand it's good. On the other hand it's bad because not all of those ways are smart and safety- conscious." DPS is increasing its police force with the addition of six new security officers, but officials stressed that the new personnel are not being hired as a result of the reported rapes. "We are in the processing of bring- ing some new people, but it is not in direct reaction to the serial rapist," Betts said. I* By the end of the week, the new security officers will begin to patrol the campus with experienced DPS officers. A spokeswoman for University Hospitals would not comment on the victim's current condition. She was admitted under an alias and is being treated for multiple head injuries and sexual assault. Anyone with information A garding the serial rapist is urged to contact the police tip line at 996- 3199. KOREA Continued from page 1 that some North Korean steps were being put off too long. The officials stressed that the two sides will still have to cooperate closely in carrying out the agreement, despite a legacy of mistrust and hos- tility dating from the Korean War. The chief U.S. negotiator, Am- bassador at Large Robert Gallucci, said in a telephone interview from Geneva that the deal had been agreed "ad referendum," explaining that it is to be referred to top policymakers in the two nations' capitals for final ap- proval, and then, if all goes well, formally signed in Geneva on Friday. But Gallucci claimed that if the complex deal is carried out, it will address all U.S. concerns "about the problems of the past, present, and future" involving North Korea's nuclear program. By this, Gallucci said he meant that it would allow an international probe of the country's past plutonium production, block North Korea's pro- duction of new plutonium by repro- cessing existing spent nuclear fu rods, and halt efforts by North Kor to expand its nuclear facilities to make more such fuel rods. Washington believes North Ko- rea has produced plutonium with the aim of building nuclear weap- ons, and the CIA suspects the coun- try of having built one or two nuclear weapons. Other U.S. officials said the com- plex deal reflected an abrupt abou* face by North Korea's communist leadership, in which it had accepted a series of U.S. demands that the iso- lated state had earlier judged unac- ceptable. The disputes had blocked an accord during nearly 17 months of intermittent, direct negotiations in New York and Geneva. But the officials said the Clinton administration had also smoothed t road to an agreement by allowinTr North Korea to defer its compliance with some of the U.S. demands. North Korea will retain for a time some of its nuclear weapons-grade materials, giv- ing it leverage to enforce U.S. com- pliance with the deal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- PLEASN SENO INFORMATION O NASTERtS' PROGRAMS INS FlHealth Services Management and Policy F U - A 3 1 Nonr4r1t Manatomtot VIUrban Policy Analysis and Management 17 umart Resources M'anaement GEO Continued from page 1 act does not affect teaching assistants directly, Curtiss said its effect on the teaching profession is troublesome. "While we aren't public teachers in that we don't teach K-12, it hits everyone right next to us," he said. John Truscott, Engler's spokes- man, said the bill merely gives exist- ing state law some teeth. "Judges would never enforce the law because there were no pen- alties," Truscott said. "This actu- ally fines them for walking on strike." While various groups have threat- ened to challenge the law in court grounds ranging from free speech singling out a groups of workers and violating equal protection under the law; Truscott denied such a problem exists.

It describes Abraham as "a backroom Republican campaign operative." "Spencer Abraham's been on the Republican Party payroll his whole life. So when the Republican leaders in Congress ordered Spencer to agree to their agenda, he did," it says. Abraham's campaign manager, Mike Hudome, said it was an effort "to divert attention from his key vote on the largest tax increase in history. He's basically running away from his record of raising taxes and doing favors for lobbyists and special interests." Hudome added that Abraham has used his party posts to fight for con- servative principles and now is doing it as a candidate. Abraham emphasized his support for those conservative principles as he and Carr took turns answering ques- tions from the audience yesterday. Commenting on the 1994 cam- paign, University Communication Prof. Michael Traugott said party af- filiation is waning in importance. "Party is still fairly important; it's the basic building block of the voti positions, but the weight of parties has been diminished somewhat," Traugott said. "Voters build in their assessment of the personal attributes and character- istics and positions on issues." Traugott, an expert on public opin- ion, also said he thought negative campaigning could be effective for candidates this year "unless they go completely out-of-bounds." Political Science Prof. KeW- Kollman, who studies political par- ties and elections, said he sees a change in this year's election. "One thing that's exciting is that the parties are acting likeparties at the national level." Kollman said. "They actually have an agenda." He said Democrats are focusing on Clinton's legislative record, whi Republicans have clearly stated the goals for a Republican Congress. Kollman said the Michigan Sen- ate race is still up for grabs. "Neither party has written if off," he said. "The Republicans smell blood. But I don't see how it's any more important than any other major Senate race." --- Daily Staff Reporter Scot Woods contributed to this report The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745.967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
