SECURITY
Continued from page 1.
"Social Security is very much
on the table" for cuts by Republi-
cans, Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-
Conn.), general chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
said yesterday.
It is an assertion Republicans
vehemently deny. But it is what
the debate over the proposed con-
stitutional amendment has evolved
into.
This time, a group of wavering
Democrats - including North Da-
kota Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron
Dorgan - are declaring that protec-
tion of Social Security is the price for
their support. Remove its vast sur-
pluses from budget calculations, they
say, and save the trust funds for their
intended recipients.
Republicans offered a compromise
that over a. decade would gradually
remove the Social Security surpluses
from the budget. The offer would let
the GOP, pledged to balance the bud-
get by the year 2002, use the surpluses
to fulfill its promise, while letting Conrad
and Dorgan claim their demands had
been met. No deal, the North Dakota
senators said yesterday.
On its face, the standoff seems
confusing.
Assuring the integrity of Social
Security would seem an easy political
call for Dole and fellow Senate Re-
publicans, who unsuccessfully sought
Social Security cuts in 1985 and lost
control of the Senate in the following
year's elections.
Social Security, the government's
biggest program, provides retirement,
death and disability benefits to 45
million American families. Touching
it might be considered political sui-
cide. Why not agree to make it off
limits?
The reason is in the numbers.
Without access to the Social Se-
curity surpluses, "you'd create amuch
higher hurdle in trying to balance the
budget," said Sen. Larry Craig (R-
Idaho), a chief sponsor of the bal-
anced budget amendment.
DEAN

kindergarten through 12th grade to
public school teachers throughout the
country.
SNRE Associate Prof. Robert
Grese, a member of the school's ex-
ecutive committee, said Brewer has
been a strong dean.
"I think a lot of the faculty, if not
most faculty, have said the ties he has
built to the Business School will be an
advantage to the school," Grese said.
Grese said a recent review of
Brewer by the Senate Assembly Com-
mittee on University Affairs showed
the faculty supported the dean's ef-
forts.
SNRE senior Noah Hall said
Brewer is one of the more conserva-
tive people in the school.
"I know a lot of students found
him rather conservative and business-
oriented for a school of natural re-
sources, but he made changes which
may turnout for the better," Hall said.
Hall, who served on the school's
student government, said he believes
the time Brewer spent in fund-raising
caused him to leave his post.
"I know he's always out trying to
raise funds. He probably wanted to
get back to teaching," Hall said. "I
think there's a lot of pressure on all
the administration to raise a lot of
funds. The (Campaign for Michigan)
wants to raise $1 billion and every
dean has to do their fair share."
Whitaker said raising funds takes
a lot of time for the deans. "I think
(deans) know it's part of their job,"
he said. "All universities are look-
ing for resources and that may get
worse."
The University now will begin the
process of filling Brewer's post.
Whitaker said he will name a com-
mittee to conduct the search and an
interim dean to serve until a new dean
takes office.
Brewer holds a bachelor's in eco-
nomics from Berkeley, and both a
master's in a public administration
and a doctorate in political science
from Yale University.

States unsure on budget amendment
If Congress passes a balanced-budget amendment, it's no sure thing that 39
states will ratify the measure and make it a reality.
. One month after an Associated Press survey found legislative leaders in
only 32 states predicting passage, a second check this week found the same
thing.
The number of states where the leaders were uncertain went from 16 to 15.
And the number that said they were unlikely to ratify the measure went fron
two to three. With seven years to decide, of course, much could change on the
political landscape.
California shifted from the "uncertain" column to the "unlikely" one..
Tuesday, Willie Brown, the powerful Democratic speaker of the Assembly,
said the chances for ratification in his state were "not even close."
In Michigan, Republican state Rep. Terry London said language of the
ratifying measure was being edited as the amendment changed in Washington.
"We are ready to go when they pass it. It would be great to be No. 1. I'd be
willing to do whatever it takes," he said.
The measure was undergoing revision in the Senate yesterday as backer

Gingrich hopes pay
will get kids to read
WASHINGTON--An inner-city
school is so poor its leaky roof has
damaged the few books in the library.
Yet House Speaker Newt Gingrich
(R-Ga.) urged this school's children
to read yesterday by promising them
$2 for every book they finish.
Handing out hundreds of new
books donated by a private charity,
the speaker told children at Lucy Ellen
Moten Elementary he wants them "to
grow up and make a good living, so
you can come back and do good things
for this school."
"But to do that, you have to be able
to read," Gingrich told the kids.
The youngsters - who live just
outside the shadow of the Capitol but
in a neighborhood so crime-ridden
many fear walking to the local library
-- clapped at his words.
Twelve-year-old Erick Turner says
he often reads in school. But, he admit-
ted with a grin, it's awfully hard to find
him at home with a book. "Just tired of

After U.N. pullout,
Somali militiamen
take over airport
MOGADISHU, Somalia -War-
lord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's mili-
tiamen swept into the Mogadishu air-
port yesterday, chasing away packs
of looters and filling the void left by a
retreating U.N. mission.
American and Italian troops
watched from the nearby dunes while
the militiamen loyal to Aidid, who
once carried a $25,000 U.N. price on
his head, roared through the airport
gates in stripped-down trucks and
jeeps mounted with heavy weapons.
After the last U.N. peacekeepers
left the airstrip in the morning, hun-
dreds of looters swarmed over barbed-
wire fences to pick over wooden pal-
lets and what little else remained.
American and Italian troops pro-
tecting the withdrawal of Pakistani
peacekeepers nervously watched the
looting. Rifle shots rang out, most
fired by militiamen.
The airfield looked like a hurri-
cane hit it after the looters, a motley
collection that was mostly young and
female Somalis, many in long red
skirts, finished carting off the remains.;
No looters were hit by gunfire.

The $2 incentive could change
his mind. "I'll try it. Sure I will. I
want the money."
Court: Evidence can
be used, despite error
WASHINGTON - When Phoe7
nix Police Officer Bryan Sargent
pulled Isaac Evans over for a traffic
violation four years ago, the com-
puter in his cruiser told him - erro-
neously - that there was a warrant
out for Evans' arrest.
Evans was handcuffed, and a
search of his car revealed a bag' of
marijuana under the passenger seat
But even though the search was un
constitutional, the U.S. Supreme Court
yesterday upheld his drug conviction
based on the fruits of that search.
In a 7-2 decision, the court held
that computer errors innocently
caused by court personnel do not fapi
under the general rule that evidence
obtained illegally should not be ad
mitted in court.

"The old Mexican regime is being

the daily Reforma newspaper yester-

said, is a blow against the 1928 birth
