2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 9, 1994 CHANGES Continued from page 1 Betts said although he has not com- piled any numbers, from his observa- tions, the number of incidents have declined. "From what I've been told and checking with custodians, it seems to have ended the problem." He added that his initial impresssion is that the activity has not moved to any other area of campus. Aaron Rank, a facilitator of the East Quad Group for Lesbians, Gay Men, and Bisexual People, said he was leery of the changes made by the University. Rank feels the changes invade the privacy of men in the restrooms. "I think it is definitely a product of homophobic people within the Uni- versity and students," he said. "There's a million wrong ways to handle (the problem) and very few right ways." He added, "It'll go elsewhere and it will go on." Despite the criticism, Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) said he was pleased the University has taken steps to halt the bathroom activity. Baker said he has complained about the problems in the restrooms for many years. 'We're just trying to make it a little more open so people don't have that cloak of secrecy ... while still allowing privacy because going to the bathrooms is a very private act.' - Sgt. Dave Betts Department of Public Safety Crime Prevention Coordinator He said the University must show that it will not tolerate illegal sexual behavior. "It is a matter of safety of the students, staff and employees." LSA Senior Brian Meeks said he was approached in the Mason Hall bathrooms last Febuary. Meeks said the changes are only superficial and the activity will ever- tually relocate. "There is a way around every- thing," he said. "They cannot moni- tor the bathroom all the time." Dec. 12 tnial date set for man held in alleged Umon rape By LARA TAYLOR Daily Staff Repoter The preliminary trial of Ronald Avelle Fowler, who allegedly com- mitted a rape in the Union on August 17, was held Wednesday in the 15th district. Fowler, 37, is currently being held over in the Washtenaw County Jail for third degree criminal sexual mis- conduct. Bond was set at $25,000 cash. If convicted, Fowler faces a maxi- mum sentence of 221/2 years. Fowler was on probation for a prior felony A carrying a concealed weapon when he was arrested. The date of his trial has been set for Dec. 12. According to the Department of Public Safety, Fowler and the victim, a 23-year-old woman, met at a nearby fast-food restaurant and then entered the Union together. Fowler allegedly attacked the vice tim between the third and fourth floors in a Union stairwell between 8 and 9 p.m. RADIATION Continued from page 1 chaired by Gerald D. Abrams, a pa- thology professor, will work with the government's investigators and is set to release a preliminary report of its findings Oct. 15. Steven L. Kunkel, a professor of pathology and an associate vice presi- dent for research, who is on the com- mittee, said no evidence of any "ex- periments" on volunteers has been uncovered. "The use of radiation was in con- nection with treating medical condi- tions, like cancer," Kunkel said, rather than testing of random volunteers.

Those findings agree with two preliminary studies Abrams has done of radiation research at the Univer- sity. The committee, which has already met once and will meet twice a week throughout the month, is currently reviewing historical records at the Bentley library. The Daily first reported in April that the University used more than 1,500 people - many of them chil- dren - as test subjects in 1950s ra- diation research.

But he added: "I recognize my fault in this matter but I still keep coming back to questions I have why certain things were not done which might have prevented this horrible accident." While startling because of the se- verity of the charges, yesterday's de- velopments are simply the start of the military judicial process-the equiva- lent of being arrested by a civilian police officer. The next step is that the charged individuals will be given an "Article 32" hearing, which is roughly similar to a civilian grand-jury pro- ceeding.

FUNDS Continued from page 1. Despite the consensus on other measures, the abortion debate that introduced rancor into the conference Wednesday came charging back late in the day, renewing the agonizing search for common ground among the world's diverse value systems. A special committee emerged from nearly 30 hours of wrangling with yet another draft of the 113-page document's crucial abortion para- graph, one that it hopes will satisfy all -- or at least nearly all - the 182 national delegations. But even as it was being "shopped around" infor- mally, the Egyptians raised a new objection. Still, the latest revision would probably be put before the conference's main body today in what is essentially a take-it or leave-it form, according to a member of the U.S. delegation. This move is intended to force the Vatican, which has been battling the paragraph, and its allies to declare themselves one way or the other. So far the Holy See has not taken this step, thus forcing negotiations to continue softening language whose central goal originally was to urge governments to deal with the high disease and death rate from illegal, unsafe abortion. The latest draft is largely given over to urging govern- ments to prevent abortion, both by not promoting it as a form of family plan* ning and through stronger family plan- ning programs. Before the latest version of the paragraph was issued, a Vatican offi- cial criticized press accounts that said the Holy See alone opposed the para- graph or commanded only a handful of allied countries. "The Holy See does not stand alone," he said, after asking not to b named. "What we're looking at is not as some elements of the press pre- sented it - that it's simply the Holy See against everyone else. That is a propaganda exercise, far from the truth. We have more countries than 15 on board." One of the changes in the latest revision to the abortion paragraph, called 8.25, tries to deal with the church's unwillingness to accept any language that appears, even tacitly, to accept that abortion could be legal. The previous version said, "In cir- cumstances in which abortion is le- gal, such abortion should be safe." The newest version - showing how subtle nuances can be in these pro- ceedings - changes "legal" to "not against the law."
