2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, January 31, 1995 ,:,;; ^ Vendors want space on State Street Street vendors like Christopher Lauckner, the photo card vendor and a hot dog vendor are fighting the State Street Association for the right to vend on this corner of State Street and North University Avenue. The association is trying to drive them out because their business affects places such as Michigan Book and Supply and Red Hawk Grill. MOLLY STEVENS/Daily Q ,(jt 51 fbN , N r , i y l> t s, 3 . Asir, NATIONAL REPORT Another interest rate boost seen WASHINGTON - With Alan Greenspan calling economic growth "torrid," the Federal Reserve is widely expected to boost interest rates this week for the seventh ._ time in a year. Such action would drive up borrowing costs for millions of Americans. Many analysts are predicting the central bank, which, Greenspan chairs, will increase two key interest rates by one-half percentage point, triggering a similar increase in banks' prime lending rate. The prime is the benchmark rate for many business and consumer loans. 'They are going to raise rates again. There is just not Greenspan enough evidence yet that the economy is slowing down," said David Wyss, an economist at DRI-McGraw Hill, an economic consulting firm in Lexington, Mass. V AMENDMENTS Continued from page 1 members. It would evaluate the amendments based on "frivolity, le- gality, and consistency." Proposals that pass the committee's evaluation would then be decided through a referendum of the student body. Another proposal would allow at- torneys to fully participate in hearings. "Our need is to hear the student voice, not to hear the attorney's, which may be quite different," Antieau said, defending the current regulation. At- torneys may attend hearings but are prohibited from speaking. "This system puts an incredible amount of power in the hands of the accuser," said Margaret Leary, direc- tor of the Civil Liberties Board. MSA supports allowing attorneys or advisers represent students during code hearings, Keenan said. MSA also proposed an amendment to establish an AdvisorCorps, which would train students to advise other students of their rights under the code. Students can currently be charged under the code for crimes committed within a thirty-mile radius of campus. Many of the amendments proposed by MSA and the Civil Liberties Board (through SACUA) concerned limit- ing the code's jurisdiction to campus, but allowing for charges to be brought if the accused is convicted in criminal court proceedings. Ethan Kirschner, chair of the Stu- dent Civil Liberties Watch, said "The most important thing (in amending the code) is not one amendment - it's one category of amendments that ... make sure there's some sort of check on what the judicial advisor can do, and provide disclosure of the facts about code cases." Gingrich got post after helping official WASHINGTON -It started as a constituent's request for government help. But it didn't take long for Newt Gingrich to turn a 1992 contact with a Georgia college dean into a teaching job. Correspondence obtained by The Associated Press sheds light on the origins of Gingrich's nationally tele- vised college course, which is now the focus of a complaint before the House Ethics Committee. The letters show Gingrich re- ceived the offer to teach at Kennesaw State College less than three months after he got the State Department to agree to meet with the school's busi- ness dean, who was pursuing fed- eral contracts for his private busi- ness. Dean Timothy Mescon never got the contracts he began seeking in fall 1992. But by the following March, Gingrich and Mescon had arranged to co-teach the course, "Renewing American Civilization," at Kennesaw. Mescon is dean of the college's busi- ness school, where Gingrich taught. The course is carried on cable televi- sion. Members of Congress assist con- stituents all the time. And with certain restrictions, they're free to pursue a wide variety of private interests while in office. Ethics watchdogs, however, ques- tion Gingrich's judgment in doing both simultaneously with a single in- dividual. Public opinion up for Clinton, Congress n poll WASHINGTON -- In recent weeks Americans have given Con- gress and President Clinton another look, and a new Washington Post- ABC News poll suggests that the pub- lic initially likes what it sees. More than half of those surveyed now approve ofthe jobClinton is doing as president. Atpproval for Congress - now Republican-controlled - has doubled in three months, an unprec- edented ihcrease in public support for an institution that had fallen into public disfavor in recent years. Republicans in Congress ax breaking legislative gridlock, a ma- jority of the survey respondents said. At the same time, Clinton today looks more like the "New Style" Democratw of his 1992 presidential campaign than the liberal tax-and-spender portrayed in last year's congressional cam- paigns. q ov " kHIGAP ..11"C* j UiFIi1.......+. 6"9 . .... 7I1I:-..~.$....... ~-th~ ~ 0'9 " * . i i f'Sf {~fti~rY.,,iiV'H wA 'iwr AL4iw. .". *1~kiiiikl?

Renegade Muslims who oppose the Muslim-led Bosnian government in Sarajevo said they were advancing and taking strategic points. But the United Nations countered that claim. "We believe that the tide may be turning in favor of the Bosnian army," said U.N. spokesman Lt. Col. Gary Coward in Sarajevo. If the Bosnian military was look-' ing stronger, the country's political unity seemed to be fraying. Five mem- bers of the seven-member, multi-eth- nic presidency charged yesterday that army units were being brought under the control of Muslim clergy and hard- liners allied with President Alija Izetbegovic. The fighting in the northwest was. a serious violation of a four-month nationwide cease-fire. Israel hands over land to Jordan BEER MENUCHA, Israel - Jor- danian army officers unfurled flags and soldiers performed an impromptu0 folk dance yesterday after Israel trans- ferred a swath of desert borderland to Jordan as part of a peace treaty. Israeli officers, more low-key, shook hands, hopped into their Jeeps and sped away into the dusty valley. The Israeli pullback, along a 106- mile frontier in the Arava Valley, completes the first phase of a peac treaty between Israel and Jordan. Jordanian Brig. Gen. MansourAbu@ Rashid said Israel was handing over 132 square miles yesterday and would withdraw from about 20 more by Feb. 10, completing the terms of the treaty. Israeli officers could not confirm the figures. - From Daily wire services Corner of S. Forest and S.
