2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 26 , 1994 FORD Continued from page 1 Ford and the University have a continuing educational exchange through joint research projects, in- ternships and sabbaticals at Ford for University professors and work-leave programs offering Ford engineers an opportunity to study new and devel- oping technologies at the University. "The location of campus is close to a lot of Ford operations. It makes it easy to set up programs where both can benefit," Culver said. Ford's contribution also will in- clude funds to the Dearborn campus to support the College of Eng- ineering's Center for Education and Practice and the renovation of the Fairlane Mansion. The Center for Education and Practice, which was established with a $160,000 grant from Ford in 1992, combines class- rooms and laboratory study. For the past three years, Ford has been the top corporate recruiter at both the College of Engineering and the Business School. In 1993, Ford hired 200 University graduates. "We have over 2,500 U-M alumni employed by Ford. No other school is that big (at Ford)," Culver said. Ford's last major gift to the Uni- versity was a five-year $2.5 million grant in 1989 to promote manufactur- ing studies in the College of Engi- neering. ak AtIj 55w*,AeJ SATISFACTION Continued from page 1 Higher levels of competition are the prescribed remedy by the ACSI. This would "bring about improved customer satisfaction." ACSI provides a different ap- proach than current economic indica- tors, including the CPI. The big dif- ference is that ACSI focuses on qual- ity, not just productivity. The the new indicator is based on a simple premise: Neither productivity nor the CPI can be calibrated accurately without taking quality into account. Fornell said scores are affected in part by the degree of service needed after a product is purchased. "The more service that is required, thelowerthe satisfaction index," Fornell said. Meats and produce, for example, require less service than a dishwasher. Goods and services are measured by customer satisfaction as well as production. About 50,000 telephone interviews were conducted to collect information for the index. Customers were asked their perception of and willingness to pay for the quality of a number of goods. Separate ACSIreports areproduced for seven sectors of the economy: manu- facturing nondurables; manufacturing durables; transportation, communica- tions and utilities; retail; finance and insurance; and services and public ad- ministration and government. Forty industries, several key gov- ernment agencies and more than 200 companies are scored quarterly within these seven sectors. The index is sponsored by the American Society of Quality Control and several companies. -The Associated Press contributed to this report. By CATHY BOGUSLASKI Daily Staff Reporter Supporters of the Ann Arbor Ten- ants' Union say they will continue to press for additional funds from the Michigan Student Assembly, despite another setback last night. Tenants' union supporters on the assembly moved to transfer $3,000 from the capital goods reserve fund to the AATU line-item in the surplus and reserve budget. The motion would have given AATU a total of $5,000. This amount falls $1,500 short of the amount the tenants' union had most recently requested. The motion failed, 13-9. To pass, the motion to reopen an approved budget would have needed 21 affir- mative votes - the support of half of the voting members on the assembly. LSA Rep. Jonathan Freeman said supporters will continue to fight for AATU funding. "It's still worth it because AATU' s got to be able to function," he said. "If they have to go to students for fund- ing, it's almost against the spirit of the group. It was founded as a group for students, to give free services to std- dents. The work they do is definitely important and definitely worthwhile." Freeman said AATU supporters were attempting to compromise when they reduced the amount of funding they requested for AATU. AATU backers continue bid for funds. ROCKING AND ROLLING 70 MSA Vice President Jacob Stern said he opposes any transfer of funds from the capital goods fund. Stern said AATU should be funded through the assembly's Budget Pri- orities Committee (BPC), which allo- cates funds to student groups. "I believe last year the most any student group got in funding (from th BPC) was $1,000, but I don't see wh AATU wouldn't be able to get $2,500, maybe even $3,000. There are also tons of other funding sources on campus," Stern said, naming the LSA Student Government and the RackhamStudent Government, among others. Freeman said AATU funding will be on the agenda of next Tuesday's meeting.

The normally taciturn 72-year-old general, who was chief of staff in the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel seized more than one-tenth of Jordan's terri- tory, the area now known as the West Bank, referred to the recent wave of attacks that have blunted Israel's ini- tial delight with the Jordanian peace. Jordan's British-educated King Hussein predicted in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth that the treaty will bring a "very warm peace." Until a few weeks ago, the doors to the king's palace were shut to any Israeli journalist. It is only in the past 20 years that non-Muslim for- eigners no longer had to show a baptis- mal certificate, proving they were not Jewish, to obtain a Jordanian visa. The Israeli right-wing opposition generally has endorsed peace with Jor- dan, although settlers denounced it as a "smoke screen" for the government's controversial peace moves with the Pal- estine Liberation Organization. But in Jordan, Islamic fundamen- talists and leftists in the 80-seat Par- liament have vowed to oppose the treaty when it comes up for ratifica- tion in a few days. Jones renews proposal to settle sex suit with Clinton The Baltimore Sun WASHINGTON - The woman who is suing President Clinton, claim- ing he made unwanted sexual ad- vances toward her in 1991, moved yesterday to put new pressure on him to settle the case out of court. PaulaJones, a former Arkansas state employee, said at a news conference here that "all I want is to reclaim my good name from Bill Clinton, the only person in the world who can do that." Gilbert K. Davis, one of her attor- neys, told reporters a proposal to settle the case "is still on the table," even though two prior efforts to reach a settlement have failed. Jones, ho added, seeks no money, only "a simple statement" from the president that an incident occurred, and an apology. In May, Jones sued the president., seeking $700,000 in damages for al- legedly exposing himself to her in a Little Rock hotel room in 1991. Clinton denies that the incident ever occurred. Simpson asks judge to remove cameras from DNA hearing Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES - O.J. Simpson's lawyers have asked that television cameras be excluded from a crucial hearing on the admissibility of DNA evidence so that jurors in his double-murder case will not be ex- posed to potentially prejudicial infor- mation, according to a letter sent to Judge Lance A. Ito. "If the courtroom camera is elimi- nated during the (DNA) hearing, it will reduce the extent of media satu- ration while thejury panel is at risk,"Simpson attorney Peter J. Neufeld said in a letter sent to Ito last week. In addition, Neufeld suggested that the lawyers for both sides avoid any discussion of the DNA test re sults during the hearing, which is no scheduled to begin until after a jury has been selected. DNA evidence is expected to play a key role in the prosecution case against Simpson, the former football hero who has pleaded not guilty to the June 12 killings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, andherfriend. MIKULEC Continued from page 1 Abraham for U.S. Senate, it's impor- tant to elect people to the state House and Senate who will work with Engler, and who will make sure he stays on track," Fletcher said. Mikulec views crime, spending,jobs and schools as the biggest issues of the campaign. He offered a plea to stu- dents, and asked how he can make them more interested in local politics. Mikulec asked, "How do we turn on college voters? We really want to be a party of inclusion." AngelaJerkatis, an LSA sophomore who attended the speech, told Mikulec to stay in touch with students. "You have to show people you'll be back, and not only at election time," she said.
