The deal is in addition to personal services contracts Nike has with basketball coach Steve Fisher and football coach Gary Moeller, who receive $200,000 and $85,000 per year from the athletic outfitter, said Athletic Director Joe Roberson. Nike Public Relations Director Keith Pe- ters said the deal will benefit both the corpo- ration and the University. "We think that it's a win-win deal," Peters said. "(The University) is not just historically highly successful (in athletics), but it's also pretty good academically." Revenue from Nike, totaling just over $1 million per year for six years, will go toward outfitting athletes from all 22 of the University's varsity teams with shoes, prac- tice apparel and on-field wear, Roberson said. Nike, by virtue of designing official Michi- gan game clothing, will have exclusive rights to the sale of on-field apparel. Nike will also fund a $75,000 payment to the athletic department each year, Roberson said. Between the cash payment and complete funding of athletic outfitting, the contract will enable the creation of a new women's sport - closing the gap on gender equity. Roberson said his department had such an addition in the works before the contract was brought up. "We didn't do this to add a new sport, it's just another benefit," Roberson said. He noted that the contract will allow the designation of a women's sport as varsity without revoking the varsity status of a men's sport. Earlier this year, women's soccer was promoted from club to varsity status at the expense of the men's gymnastics team, whose varsity status was revoked. Currently, a com- mittee within the department is in the process of determining which women's varsity sport will be created. Roberson said three or four sports are being considered. Roberson said some of the money will be added to the athletic department's recruiting budget, allowing coaches to recruit more thor- oughly. He said the partnership was created to benefit the athletic department, the Univer- sity and the community. "The institution in general benefits from this, not just the athletic department," Roberson said. Although $700,000 to $800,000 of the yearly income will go toward outfitting ath- See NIKE, Page 14 UGLi* renamed after ex- president * University Board of Regents lauds Shapiro Library By RONNIE GLASSBERG Daily Staff Reporter With its renovations, the Under- graduate Library isn't ugly anymore - and it isn't the UGLi either. The University Board of Regents named the library the Harold T. and vian B. Shapiro Undergraduate Li-. brary at its meeting yesterday. Shapiro, who is now president of Princeton University, served as the University's 10th president, begin- ning Jan. 1, 1980. His wife, Vivian, served as a clinical researcher in the Department of Psychiatry from 1970- 80 and was an associate professor in the School of Social Work at the time her departure. "We are in the process of renovat- ing the Undergraduate Library, which has had several distinctions on cam- pus. One, it is ugly. Two, it was never named for anyone," said Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Arbor). "Harold and Vivian Shapiro served the University for many years with great love and great distinction. To my knowledge, l re are no structures on campus Mned to Harold and Vivian, yet their contributions have been enormous." The name change took effect im- mediately following approval by the regents. The University will hold a formal ceremony for the name change, but the date has not yet been deter- mined. It is not unusual to name Univer- sity buildings after presidents when *y leave office. Haven Hall, Angell Hall, the Fleming Administration Building, the Frieze Building and Tappan Hall are some of the campus buildings named after past presidents. Chief Financial Officer and Ex- ecutive Vice President Farris W. Womack said he hopes students will not continue to call it the UGLi. "I hope they will call it the Shapiro Li- ," Womack said. "I think stu- nts will be sensitive to the respect they will be showing to Harold and Vivian." But students may not talk about studying at the Shapiro Library that soon. "I don't think the name, in reality, will change as far as what students say," said Regent Paul Brown (D- Mackinac Island). *0 "(Shapiro) was a first-class presi- dent and I'm happy for he and Vivian See LIBRARY, Page 2 PRE-HALLOWEEN TREATS Regents approve new medical campus plans By RONNIE GLASSBERG Daily Staff Reporter To prepare for changes in the health-care industry, the University Board of Regents yesterday approved the master site plans for a new medi- cal campus. The new campus will be the fifth at the University, which broke ground on its last new campus, North Cam- pus, in 1953. The East Medical Campus, which will provide primary and secondary care, will be built in an area bordered by Plymouth and Earhart roads. The 320-acre site is located one mile east of North Campus. The campus is intended to comple- ment the A. Alfred Taubman Health Care Center and incorporate the cur- rent Northeast Health Care Center facility. A spring 1996 opening is targeted. "The idea was really born out of concern to position ourselves for the coming health care era," said Joe Diederich, director of the East Medical Campus. "When you look at academic medical centers, we have relatively little capacity.... It's mostly a strategy to build primary-care capacity." The site will begin by using 55 acres for development.

The nation was plunged into mourning as families buried 14 of the 19 Israelis killed in the bombing. One Dutch tourist also died. Drivers for the Dan Bus Co., whose No. 5 bus was incinerated in the attack, kept their headlights on all day as they traveled their routes, a gesture of soli- darity with the victims. By yesterday afternoon, a video- tape aired on Israel Television of the man who is believed to have carried out the attack. In the videotape, Salah Abdel- Rahim Hassan Souwi Nazal, 27, who carried a briefcase packed with ex- plosives aboard the No. 5 and is thought to have blown himself to bits in the bombing, bade farewell to his friends and family. Nazal cradled an bombing Israeli-made Galil rifle in his arms as he somberly addressed the camera. The neatly dressed man said he wanted to avenge the deaths of three Hamas militants killed by Israeli sol- diers on Oct. 14 in the army's failed attempt to rescue an Israeli soldier kidnaped by Hamas. The kidnapped soldier, Nachshon Waxman, and an- other Israeli soldier were killed in a raid on the West Bank house where Waxman was held. Nazal also said that his brother had been killed by Israeli soldiers during the Palestinian uprising, or "intifada," that erupted in the Israeli- occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip in December 1987. The attack sparked anti-govern- ment protests around the country and gave Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin little choice but to retaliate against extremist groups who oppose Israel- Arab peace-making. The Cabinet, called into emer- gency session by Rabin yesterday morning, agreed with Rabin that se- curity forces could use unspecified "additional means ... to strengthen years. The campus could eventually handle a maximum of 1.25 million to 1.6 million gross square feet of devel- opment. The campus will be designed in See CAMPUS, Page 2 Stabenow speaks to College Dems By JONATHAN BERNDT Daily Staff Reporter As part of the Democratic ticket's day on reproductive rights, lieutenant governor candidate Debbie Stabenow attacked Gov. John Engler's stance on abortion. About 25 people, mostly other Democratic activists and candidates, attended the half-hour event, and each speaker attacked their Republican opponent's position.

In a television address, Rabin said he would seek legislative backing for a wide-ranging crackdown on the fun- damentalists, while at the same time pressing ahead in peace talks with the Palestine Liberation Organization. He stressed, the need for a final political settlement that will divorce Israelis from the Palestinians of West Bank and Gaza Strip. "We need a separation between us and the Palestinians, not just for days but as a way of life," Rabin said. The attack came as Israeli and PLO officials sat down in Cairo, Egypt, to talk about expanding the five-month-old Gaza-Jericho au- tonomy to the rest of the West Bank.
