2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 24, 1997 Cone~ from Page 1A said. "I was able to leave my ip with a very positive feeling ut U of M." .Km realized that the University has vdinritistrators overseeing the organiza- ;Q'of unique resources. Ting and Tait 4e,'a student services associate at the htiversity's Multi-Ethnic Student ffairs division, are two such people. ."Unfortunately, I learned no one had -Aesome resources like Tait Sye and M rAe Ting," Kim said. ',ittm Cho, assistant editor at A. 14gazine, said the magazine created the rvey "in response to other general sur- Nys that are published regardless of ace." He added that the A. Magazine purv'ey is geared toward East Asian, South Asian and Pacific Island students. N The University was among three d'U west schools in the top 15, while six colleges from California dominated the airngs. But Ting said the survey s the stereotype that the Midwest is a Wihospitable place for APA students. rThere is a stereotype that the Midwest is not diverse," Ting said. "U of M shatters that misconception." Jonathan Ying, an assistant dean of stu- dents at the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, said more schools in the Midwest are attracting APA students. "It isn't realized that there are such high numbers of Asian students at (mid- Todpuniversiies for A1PA students: 1, University of California at Irvine 2. University of California at Berkeley 3. University of California at San Diego U5. University of Michigan western) schools," Ying said. Cho said the survey may be repeated next year because of the positive feedback from university officials and students. "It received a great response and adds a twist to college rankings," he said. APA student organization leaders said they were proud and satisfied with the University's ranking. "Any time we are recognized it is a great accomplishment, especially from a source like A. Magazine," said Engineering senior Brian Ebarvia, vice chair of the United Asian American Organizations. Ebarvia said his group represents 19 separate student campus groups, which collaborate on an annual cul- tural show. Tushar Sheth, president of the Indian American Student Association, said he's pleased with the survey results, but wants more interaction between APA faculty and students. "When you know you have support, you get involved," Sheth said. N ATE ONIWO RLD Surprise witness says Mary Albert bit her ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - A sur- prise witness testified yesterday that Marv Albert, wearing white panties and a garter belt, bit her three years ago in a Dallas hotel room during a struggle that left her holding the sportscaster's hair- piece. Patricia Masden's story was the most shocking yet in Albert's forcible sodomy and assault trial, drawing gasps from spectators when she initially told it out- side the presence of the jury. Circuit Judge Benjamin Kendrick later allowed her to tell it to the jury to show a pattern of behavior by Albert. Masden said she got to know Albert well during the early 1990s when he traveled with the New York Knicks bas- ketball team and she was the VIP liaison for Hyatt Hotels. She said he summoned her to his room in Dallas in 1994, saying he needed help sending a fax. When she entered Albert's room and announced her presence, she heard him say, "Come on in." "I was standing in the bar area looking out the window and I heard the door close behind me." Masden said when she told the story to the judge. "He had panties and a garter belt on. He was exposed and aroused. "I was in shock and didn't know what to do. I had never seen anything like this." Masden said Albert told her he was tense, approached her, rubbed his body against hers, pushed her head toward his crotch and bit her on the side of her neck. As she tried to push Albert off her, she said, "I went to grab his hair, and his hair lifted off." As surprising as that encounter was, Masden said, it wasn't the first time she had been bitten by Albert. That came in 1993, when Albert invit- ed her to a party he said he was having with the Knicks in his Miami hotel room. When she arrived, there was no one else there but Albert. "He started asking me weird ques- tions, sexual questions," Masden said. "He started to kiss me and instead of kissing me, he bit my lip." At that point, she said, Albert asked her "could I help him recruit any men" for a sexual threesome. She firmly refused, and he began kissing her on the back of her neck, and the kiss turned into a bite, she said. Realizing that no one else would be attending the party, she abruptly left, she said. Masden's testimony was admitted after a furious battle. Defense attorneys called it irrelevant, but Kendrick agreed with prosecutors that it was important because it mirrors the charges on which the 54-year-old NBC sportscaster is now on trial. A 42-year-old woman said Albert, furious when she failed to recruit anoth- er man for a sexual threesome, threw her onto the bed in an Arlington hotel room Feb. 12, bit her severely on the back and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Earlier yesterday, an emergency room nurse testified that the woman went to an emergency room with 18 to 20 bite marks on her back, one of which broke the skin. The nurse, Jonathan Gold, said the woman was "tearful, and at other times she seemed angry" when she came to National Hospital. Under cross-examination, Gold said he took a swab from the one bite that had broken the skin. He said he took two other swabs, one from her mouth and one from her chest. DNA on the swabs were used as evidence to link Albert to the bites. The first of several forensics experts took the stand later to say that DNA from semen taken from the woman's lip, chest and underwear was linked to Albert. Virginia State Police forensics expert Karen Ambrozy said the chances that the DNA was left there by someone other than Albert were I in 2.6 billion. AROUND THE NATI 1. Clinton warns unions against sour relations PITTSBURGH - As union leaders listened in silence, President Clinton urged them yesterday not to let a bitter disagreement over free trade sour traditionally strong relations between labor and the Democratic White House. "Friends and allies don't participate in the politics of abandonment,' Clinton told the annual convention of the 13 million member AFL-CIO. "They band together, disagreeing when they must but banding together." When a handful of protesters shouted opposition from the back of the David Lawrence Convention Center, Clinton cut them off. "I think I've earned the right to be heard," he snapped. Clinton warned there would be painful consequences if labor tried to punish Democratic lawmakers who stood with the president on his request for stronger authority to negotiate new free-trade treaties. "If they were to lose their positions because they stood up for what they believe was right for America's future, who would replace them?" Clinton asked. "And how much harder would it be to gei the necessary votes in Congress to back the president when he stands by you against the majority" in the GOP-led House and Senate. "America is far better off when the friends of working people stand togethW without letting one issue trump all the others," the president said. FUN DRAISI NG Continued from Page 1A "But you do it for students, so I don't have trouble doing it." The celebration also will feature a symposium in Tisch Hall titled "The Future of the Humanities." "We think its an occasion to cele- brate the humanities and honor Tisch for his support, especially in the humanities," said history and anthro- pology Prof. Tom Trautmann, one of three symposium panelists. A symposium on sports titled "Managing Professional Sports: A Conversation Between Bon Tisch and Friends," will be held in Hale Auditorium on Saturday at 3 p.m. WDIV sports broadcaster Bernie Smilovitz will moderate the sympo- sium. Diet pills cause patients to worry WASH INGTON - Dieters are showing up at doctors' offices demand- ing echocardiograms to see if their hearts were damaged by the drugs Fen- phen and Redux, but doctors aren't always sure what to advise. The tests are expensive, and physi- cians say they're probably not worth it for many patients who have no symp- toms. "There could easily be an onslaught (of demand). We're wor- ried about that for sure," said Dr. James Weiss, who runs the echocardi- ology lab at Johns Hopkins University. "By no means are we rec- ommending that everyone who's taken one of these diet drugs have an echocardiogram. If that happens, we'd be doing nothing else in the lab." But for patients such as Annemarie Stokes of San Diego, an echocardio- gram could explain worrisome symp- toms, like severely swollen ankles or the tightening and tingling in her chest and arms when she coughs or breathes deeply. The problem is the uninsured student can't afford the heart test, which can cost $800. Senate OKs major overhaul of FDA WASHINGTON - The Senate yes- terday overwhelmingly approved a major overhaul of the federal Food and Drug Administration, aimed at stream- lining the regulatory approval process for new drugs and medical devices. The bill provisions include estab- lishing a new program to accelera4 the review system for experimental medical devices; easing the way for desperately ill patients to have greater access to experimental drugs; allowing wider circulation of information about the unapproved uses of already licensed drugs and relaxing procedures for food compa- nies to add health claims to their labels. RUSSIA Continued from Page IA and Boris Nemtsov as first deputy prime ministers, sales of shares in attractive gov- enment industries have been going to the highest bidder in confidential tenders rather than being parceled out among the business clique at knockdown prices. While it was his strongest statement yet in the public squabbling over the spoils of privatization, Yeltsin's latest upbraiding of the powerful industrialists also called further attention to an embar- rassing and disruptive division in the ranks of power. ..::_ " a -- AROUND THE WORLD.

University " 930-1892 Al erian insurgents cal u ely truce PARIS --The Islamic militant group that launched Algeria's bloody insur- gency five years ago has called for an unprecedented truce, the fruit of nego- tiations with the military-backed regime. Still, the move is not likely to end the slaughter of civilians by the group's more radical rival. The Islamic Salvation Army said an Oct. I cease-fire would "unmask the enemy hiding behind the abominable massacres," Algerian newspapers reported yesterday. It said Algeria's recent carnage was the work of "per- verse extremists" of the rival Armed Islamic Group. Well more than 60,000 people have died since the start of the insurgency, triggered by the army's cancellation of a second round of legislative elections in January 1992, after an overwhelm- ing first-round victory by the Islamic Salvation Front. "Algerian Muslim People ... the national emir of the Islamic Salvation Army orders all chiefs of companies i. I I fighting under his command to stop operations as of ... Oct. 1, 1997, and calls all other groups close to the inter- ests of the religion and the nation to rally to this call' the statement said. * Paris photogphers protest investigation PARIS - Dozens of photogra- phers at the French presidential palace laid down their cameras yes- terday to protest an investigation of some of their colleagues in conne tion with the death of Prince Diana. Joel Robin, a spokesperson for the 80 photographers, said two col- leagues placed under investigation "now cannot work, because some of them haven't been returned their press cards. We're here to protest that injustice." The Aug. 31 crash in the Pont de l'Alma traffic tunnel killed Diana, her companion Dodi Fayed and driv: Henri Paul. -- Compiled from Daily wire reports.
