"'- The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 4, 1997 NATION/WORLD i PROTEST Continued from Page 1 time and place we would have left," said LSA sophomore Melanie Lawrence, a LUCha member. "We were not asking for him to respond to all of the prob- lems. We were asking for a meeting." RC student Teofilo Reyes said that LUCha would not back down because LAtino/a students on campus are dis- d riminated against. "Latinos at this University are widely ,,ignored and disrespected," Reyes said. "We are all marginalized to a ridiculous level. The University only reacts to ,:ssues like this when students take ,ection into their own hands. If the ,University refuses to be a pro-active institution, we have to act.' 1 LUCha members followed Bollinger .out the doors of the Alumni Center and through the Diag. "I said to the students that I would be Absolutely willing to meet with them," Bollinger said, as he left the Alumni SCentcr. "But they are insisting on a spe- ,cific time and place. That seems like a small difference at this moment" LSA junior Jorge Lozano, a LUCha member, said the group would not let Latino/a issues be ignored by Bollinger the same way he said they were by for- mer President James Duderstadt. "Duderstadt tried to ignore us before, and we are not going to let Bollinger do it to us again," Lozano said. After more discussion, Bollinger agreed to invite two LUCha members into his office to choose a specific date, time and place for the meeting. The three agreed the meeting will occur Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the Michigan Union. Salas said she is still not satisfied. "I won't be satisfied until Latinos achieve all 16 demands of LUCha. There can be no compromise on justice." Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen Hartford said she was sympa- thetic to the students' cause, but said they took an opportunity away from other students who also wanted a chance to speak with Bollinger. "I understand the purpose of the stu- dents who felt the need to speak with President Bollinger, but they interrupt- ed what could have been a very lovely time for other students to express their concerns," Hartford said. Former MSA President Fiona Rose said that LUCha ironically fulfilled the purpose of the event. "I wanted students to have a chance to tell him what's on their minds," Rose said. "And we got that - to a rather excellerated level. This did not go the way I planned it, though. But ... damn it, we're glad to have him on campus." Earlier in the day, Bollinger met with representatives from 10 student groups who expressed concern over a comment Bollinger made about student activism in The New York Times. SNRE senior Angie Farleigh said she also was upset with Bollinger a week ago, but after meeting with him yester- day morning, she now understands he is committed to listening to students. "The meeting went great," Farleigh said. "He was receptive to our concerns. He was very interested in working with students. We are very impressed with his enthusiasm." -- U t Presbyterian Church (1432 Washtenaw Ave. -between South U. and ill) Campus Ministry led worship including poetry, sacred dance and featuring r The U of M Gospel Chorale Sunday, AprIl 6, 9:30 and 1 a.m. dome JIoI 4 "'v iX .

I, 3N Farleigh said LUCha's demonstration yesterday does not reflect Bollinger's true dedication to student issues. "I thought that they went about it the wrong way," Farleigh said. "If they wanted him to listen to them, then there were better ways than to cause a scene at a reception where student leaders were to express their concerns." LSA Student Government Representative Blake Lynch said he understood LUCha's reasoning, but said their methods were inappropriate. "I understand that it was really advantageous for them to come," Lynch said. "I think it really could have been held outside, though. But when they start chanting and interrupting during (Bollinger's) response, they are not get- ting a chance to listen." SAC President Ann Kolkman, an LSA senior, said she was disappointed by LUCha's behavior. "I guess it was a sad way to see a lot of hard work end," Kolkman. "Everyone was just really surprised. Their claims and demands were perhaps valid, but this wasn't the place or the time' Markets face rocky territory NEW YORK (AP) - Hugh Johnson, a market pro since Lyndon Johnson was president, decided yes- terday to.pull some of the $260 mil- lion his firm manages for investors out of the stock market. That decision was not taken lightly. But the market has been so weak recently that even the most seasoned Wall Street investors are beginning to whisper the unthinkable. "It's a correction," Johnson says. "Now the question is, is it going to deteriorate into a bear market?" Important government figures on employment in March, due out Friday, are more critical now than ever. A stronger-than-expected job picture might prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again, hurting the economy. If that's so, the 6 1/2-year bull market may be in jeopardy. The trouble, of course, is that no one really knows. Like many others, Johnson, First Albany Corp.'s chief investment offi- cer, doesn't think a bear has yet come knocking. But bear markets are like quicksand, often hard to recognize until it's too late. Stocks tend to ebb and flow, but since the fall of 1990 a rising Dow Jone-industrial average has been pret- ty much a constant.

People won't have to immedi- ately junk their analog TV sets and VCRs. But after nine years, they'll either have to buy new ones or $100 converters. The changes are coming under a Federal Communications Commission p1 approved 4-0 yesterday, to implement the biggest advance in broadcasting since color in the 1950s: digital television. While the new wide-screen sets will have better picture and audio, a "convert- ed" digital signal fed to today's analog set will produce no better picture and audio than the analog set already provides. And get ready for sticker shock: Initially, the digital TV sets are expected to cost around $5,000 - up from earlier estimates of $2,000, says Gary Shapiro, presi- dent of the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association. Digital VCRs will sell for well above $500. But if the devices sell as briskly as VCRs did when they debuted, those pr* es should come down quickly. Manufacturers predict the new sets will sell like hotcakes. They're estimating up to 20 percent of all TV households will have them in six years, VCRs, one of the best-selling electronic products ever, took nine years to get 20 percent penetration. ,, . ,. '> Tainted berries cause hepatitis scare LOS ANGELES - Many of them giggling and putting up a brave front, youngsters lined up in two states for shots yesterday to protect them against hepatitis from a contaminated, illegal shipment of frozen strawberries. "Needles don't scare me. I'vealready taken a lot of shots," said 9-year-old Lucy Kadzhikyan, a fourth-grader at Ramona Elementary in Hollywood. About 2,000 children in California and Georgia received shots yesterday, and officials in four others states worked to prevent the spread of the dis- ease from tainted berries believed to have been served its school lunches. One inner-city Los Angeles school served the suspect dessert cups on Monday after it was left off a list of schools warned last Friday. More than 700 kids and teachers at Mount Vernon Middle School will have to get shots next week. "A clerical error left Mount Vernon off," district spokesperson. Brad Sales said. "By the time we contactedthe food service manager, the fruit cups had already been served?' So far, the only reported cases of hepatitis attributed to the frozen, slic'd strawberries have been in Michi with 163 children and adults sickened.

"We have discovered the talk of some leaders on the U.S. side, includ- ing leaders of Congress, is contradicto- ry," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Shen Guofang said during a regularly scheduled news briefing here. Gingrich rattled China's leadership when he deviated from the standard diplomatic line Sunday, the last day of a three-day visit, by bluntly announcing that the United States would come to Taiwan's rescue if the island were invaded by the mainland. "We will defend Taiwan. Period," Gingrich said he told top leaders, includ- ing President Jiang Zemin and Premier Li Peng. The Georgia Republican repeat- ed the statement this week in Taipei. the Taiwanese capital, where he concluded a swing through eastAsia with 11 mew bers of Congress in tow. ' In contrast, Gore, who concluded his five-day visit here just as Gingrich was arriving last week, was much more circumspect in his dealings with the top leadership.

Defying opinion polls that show a majority of Germans want him to retire from politics, Kohl said in a national television interview that he feels a per- sonal duty after 15 years in power to remain at the helm when his country is facing serious challenges at homes abroad. - Compiledfivm Daily wire reports.
