fluorescent lighting tubes used in resi-
dence halls. The tubes contain small
amounts of mercury, which has been
determined to be hazardous to plants
and animals as well as a pollutant in
the Great Lakes.
Also under the settlement, the hos-
pitals will identify products that con-
tain mercury and search for alterna-
tives. The search for hazardous waste
sources also will probe research labo-
ratories, classrooms and other opera-
tions on campus.
The University will institute a pi-
lot computerized chemical tracking
system as well.
The University plans to publish
manuals from its pollution preven-
tion project to aid other institutions in
Michigan faced with storing and dis-
posing hazardous waste.
"They (University) will look for
substitutes by assessment and then
provide information to other hospi-
tals and research laboratories in a
technology exchange," Sygo said.

Greenspan: Dollar decline baseless
WASHINGTON - The pfummeting dollar stabilized yesterday after
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called the
decline unwarranted and sought to stiffen Congress'
resolve to attack the federal budget deficit.
After going into a near free-fall for four days, setting
record lows against the German mark and the Japanese
yen, the dollar rebounded following Greenspan's testi-
mony.
Some economists viewed this as a signal that the
latest crisis is over. Others cautioned that the dollar is
likely to remain under downward pressure because of
worries over the soaring U.S. trade imbalance, eco- *reenspan
nomic chaos in Mexico and the uncontrolled federal
budget deficit.
Testifying before the House Budget Committee, Greenspan called the
decline in the dollar "very likely overdone" and decried it as "both unwelcome
and troublesome."

Members of Sigma Lambda Beta, a Latino fraternity, turn their backs to
speaker Ronald Prince, who helped organize support for California's
Proposition 187. Prince spoke at Rackham Auditorium last night.
Debate gets heated at
Prop. 187 conference
great scores...
By Tim O'Connell
Daily Staff Reporter
California's Proposition 187 came
under fire last night at Rackham Au-
ditorium from both participants in the
Jack L. Walker Conference of Politi-
cal Affairs and students picketing
outside before the event started.
Ronald Prince, a Los Angeles ac-
countant, and Thomas J. Gray, the
special assistant to the commissioner
of the U. S. Commission on Civil
Rights, delivered keynote speeches.
Prince organized the "Save our
State" campaign that helped write
Proposition 187. The proposition,
which was passed on last November's
ballot, states that its intent is "to pre-
vent illegal aliens in the United States
from receiving benefits or public ser-
vices in the State of California."
"We have been victims of illegal
aliens for too many years," Prince
said.
Prefacing his speech, Gray said

that he was not representing the U. S.
Commission on Civil Rights, but was
speaking as a private citizen.
Gray argued that the proposition's
wording has already encouraged the
harassment of U.S. citizens. "Denial
of health care can be based on a whim.
In Section 5, the proposition states
that 'if any public entity in this state to
whom a person has applied for public
social services determines or reason-
ably suspects ... that the person is an
alien in the United States ... the entity
shall not provide the person with ben-
efits or services.' Who decides what
is 'reasonable' suspicion?"
Prince's keynote address was in-
terrupted at times by organized chants
from audience members, many of
whom wore red ribbons and "Stop
187" stickers. Preceding the confer-
ence, more than 50 picketers marched
in front of the Rackham Building.
One of the protesters was
Alexandro Grodilla, a graduate stu-
dent in Anthropology and member of
the graduate Latino group, Fuerza
Latino. "We're pleased that this is
being discussed tonight. We're pro-
testing 187 because we want to in-
form people. Our concern is that our
side is not being voiced on CNN and
in the media."
University College Republicans
President Mark Fletcher was one of
.the few students who voiced support
for the propositions: "We wanted to
come out to support Rob Prince. I
think that Mr. Gray has neglected the
fact that they are illegal and that they
don't deserve public services." The
LSAjuniorcalled the organized chants
during Prince's speech "childish."
Prince described illegal aliens as
obtaining a slew of benefits such as
health care, welfare and education,
which are obtained through the use of
"phony green cards" and "phony
driver's licenses." He also spoke of
citizens who were losing jobs to ille-
gal aliens. Prince presented the propo-
sition as requiring identification and
proof of citizenship for receiving so-
cial services, something he said is
already required under current laws.
Citing applications for enrollment
in Los Angeles public schools, Gray
maintained that citizens have not in
the past needed to provide the kind of
identification Prince speaks of.
Gray suggested that Prince direct
his attention to agricultural compa-
nies, dismissing notions that illegal
aliens steal jobssfrom citizens: "Agri-
culture companies admit to their work
force being 40 to 60 percent illegal
aliens. Nobody else would work these
jobs. They pay them inhumane wages
that allow us to buy apples for 25
cents apiece at the store."
Following the keynote addresses,
a panel discussion was held. On the
panel in addition to Prince and Gray
were Roland Hwang, a Michigan as-
sistant attorney general, and assistant
Profs. MarkE. Brandon and Ann Linn.
The conference was co-sponsored
by the Undergraduate Political Sci-
ence Association and the University's
Asian American Student Coalition.

Order aimed at firms
that replace strikers
WASHINGTON-Plunging into
a new conflict with congressional
Republicans, President Clinton yes-
terday issued an executive order au-
thorizing the government to cut off
federal contracts to companies that hire
replacement workers during strikes.
The order, another sign of White
House efforts to strengthen its Demo-
cratic base, addresses a subject that is
a top priority for Clinton's labor al-
lies. But it is also a highly charged
issue for U.S. business, and Republi-
cans in Congress quickly scrambled
to counter the order.
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum (R-Kan),
chairwoman of the Senate Labor and
Human Resources Committee, de-
nounced the move as an end-run
around congressional authority and
said she would add language to a
pending defense appropriations bill
to reverse the order.
In the House, Rep. Bill Goodling
(R-Pa), chairman of the Economic
Eureka!
and Educational Opportunity Com-
mittee, introduced a bill to void the
order.
Two weeks ago, a House subcom-
mittee voted to prohibit the use of
federal funds to implement such an
order.
Cop admits mistakes
in Simpson probe
LOS ANGELES - Nearing the
end of his exhaustive examination, a
Los Angeles police detective ac-
knowledged yesterday he had made
some mistakes in the investigation of
O.J. Simpson and that some drug kill-
ings are committed by knife-wielding
assailants.
JohnnieL. Cochran Jr., Simpson's
lead trial lawyer, also elaborated on
one of the defense team's most con-
troversial theories of the case: the
notion that the intended victim of the
attacks might have been Faye Resnick,
the self-described best friend of Nicole
Brown Simpson and an admitted drug
user.
