2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 18, 1997 NATION/WORLD GAME Continued from Page 1 Engineering sophomore Joshua Sauer proposed a way around the regulation. "I'd try to get everyone else around me to rush the field, so they couldn't stop us," Sauer said. Rushing the field may endanger fans, Hall said. "It's our hope that people will not rush the field," she said. "It presents a danger to both people in and out of the stands." DPS will be cooperating with the Michigan State Police, Ann Arbor Police Department and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department to maintain order at the game. "There's going to be increased security in general;" Hall said. Students have never rushed the field in full force at Michigan Stadium. Still, officials are concerned that this may happen at such an emotionally charged event. "The level of excitement among students, staff and particularly among alumni, is just astonishing," said Vice President for University Relations Walter Harrison. "People are absolutely thrilled by all this. I think it's terrific." While fans might not be permitted to rush the field in the event of a Michigan victory, there will still be plen- ty of excitement. Two events are being planned to make this football Saturday in Ann Arbor even more memo- rable - a pre-game student tailgate on Elbel Field and a post-game celebration at Michigan Stadium. The student tailgate is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and will last until kickoff at noon. The event is spon- sored by Nike, Starbucks Coffee and Borders Books and Music and other local and national companies. Along with $1 pizza slices, the event will feature activities such as Nike interactive sports, a raffle for footballs signed by the Michigan football team and a live band performance. The student tailgate is being organized by Spiritchange, a new student organization that has been working since September to host this event. "Our basic goal is to increase school spirit at athletic events," said Spiritchange member Barbara Rublein. Spiritchange members sent out more than 1,000 e- mail messages to attract attention to the tailgate and plan to continue advertising throughout the week. "We're hoping to get around 500 or 600 people," said Rublein, a Business senior. "It will be interesting," said Spiritchange president and LSA senior Rachel Madden. "Hopefully, we'll get a good turnout." The post-game celebration will be held in Michigan Stadium immediately after the game. Organizers orig- inally intended to hold the festivities at Crisler Arena, but changed the location to Michigan Stadium because of its larger size, said Deb Moriarty, assistant to the vice president for student affairs. "Players (and) coaches will speak," Moriarty said. "(It will be) a typical post-game celebration." Fans will inevitably be worked up by the end of the last quarter and the post-game celebration is a way to safely cool down. "There's a need for everybody to expend their energy," Moriarty said. ARUND TH E NATI N Feds to let motorists turn off air bags WASHINGTON - Federal regulators will allow some motorists to have on-Off switches for their automobile air bags, provided they meet certain criteria indicat- ing passengers could be seriously injured or killed by a deploying bag. The new government regulation - scheduled to be announced this morning at the Department of Transportation - allows cutoff switches for the driver- or pas- senger-side air bag in vehicles already on the road, according to industry and L ernment sources speaking on condition of anonymity. Motorists would read information about air bags and sign paperwork certifying that they fit into one of several higher-risk categories of people before a mechanic installs the switch. There has been a public outcry over air bag deaths, prompting the government in March to allow air bags in new cars that deploy with less force. Air bags have been blamed for the deaths of 49 children and 38 adults. Most of those killed were not wearing seat belts. Air bags also have saved more than 2,600 lives. Four major automakers - General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc. and Nissan North American Inc. -- all say they h retrofit cutoff switches in the works. Many other automakers say they are studying the idea.

We were up to our knees in blood. Even those who did not die will be dead psychologically." Police exchanged fire with the gun- men, killing one at the scene while the rest fled in a commandeered bus. Over the course of the next several hours, police killed five more gunmen when they sought refuge in nearby desert, authorities said. The attack was the most lethal inci- dent of violence in Egypt since Islamic fundamentalists launched their cam- paign to topple the secular, military- backed government of President Hosni Mubarak in 1991. Coming after more than a year of rel- ative calm, and repeated claims of vic- tory by government security officials, the violence served as a brutal reminder of the continued terrorist threat in the Arab world's most populous and, by some reckonings, influential country. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But suspicion centered on the Islamic Group and Islamic Jihad, Egypt's two main militant organiza- tions, and a witness said the attackers' red bandannas bore the Arabic words for Islamic Group. The two organiza- tions' targets have included police, gov- ernment officials, secular intellectuals and, occasionally, foreign tourists in six years of violence that has killed more than 1,000 people on all sides. Yesterday's attack was a major set- back for Egypt's tourist industry, which has undergone a renaissance of late after several years in the doldrums caused by previous episodes of vio- lence. Tourism is a mainstay of the Egyptian economy and travel agents braced for a wave of cancellations just before the busy holiday travel season. COUNCIL Continued from Page 1. The amendment is already supported by the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Prosecuting Attorney's Association and the Michigan Municipal League, in addition to many gay and lesbian groups, Kolb said. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have laws protecting homo- sexuals from discrimination. Kolb said that both of Ann Arbor's state representatives and its state senator are "all strongly in favor" of the amendment. "I think it has a good chance of pass- ing the House," Kolb said. "Passing in the Senate will take some work." State Sen. Alma Wheeler Smith (D- Ann Arbor) said that if the bill survives the Senate Judiciary Committee, it will probably pass in the Senate. "It really depends on where the judi- ciary stands on the bill," Smith said. Key to passing it is winning the support of Judiciary Chair William Van Regenmorter (R-H udsonville), she said. Smith said she is hopeful that Van Regenmorter will lend his support despite his conservative bent. "I think this is a man who believes in the personal security of every man and woman in this state," Smith said. The issue of discrimination by sexu- al orientation recently has become an issue of great importance in the neigh- boring city of Ypsilanti. A social work group that went to a print shop to have some raffle tickets made has recently attracted attention. The owners of the shop refused to print the tickets on the grounds that the raffle proceeds were to benefit a gay and lesbian event. Ypsilanti councilmembers have since introduced legislation to forbid discrimination by any of 14 attributes, including sexual orientation. "After the printer, people started say- ing, 'Wait a minute, I can't believe that people can do this,"' said Paul Heaton of the Campaign for Equality, a group advocating the city ordinance. Heaton said it was right for a city to have non-discrimination statutes. "I would never expect that to happen in an Ann Arbor environment," said Kenneth Jones, chair of the Michigan Student Assembly Minority Affairs Commission. The city of Ann Arbor does protect against discrimination by sexual orien- tation through a city ordinance. "As a big college town, we expect it to be more inclusive" Jones said, but added, "Of course, you can find igno- rance anywhere you go." Stolen art was displayed at gallery WASHINGTON -An art show that drew gushing reviews at the National Gallery of Art seven years ago is get- ting a second look - and a far less friendly reception. Critics complain the museum failed to note that some of the paintings had been looted by the Nazis from Jews in France. "This exhibit raises a myriad of questions, including why your presti- gious institution gave a public plat- form to a Nazi arms dealer who was also the largest Swiss buyer of looted art," Sidney Clearfield, executive vice president of the Jewish organiza- tion B'nai B'rith, wrote gallery direc- tor Earl Powell. The gallery minimizes its role in displaying "works of art that were shown for nine weeks in a tempo- rary loan exhibition" pieces of owned by the late Swiss industrialist Emil Buhrle and a foundation he created. Among the 84 paintings in the show, "The Passionate Eye," were at least four - by Alfred Sisley, Camille Corot, Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet - that had been seized by the Nazis when they occu- pied France during World War lIt historians say. Prosecution Rniks Nichols to 'hot' guns DENVER - Hoping to show how the Oklahoma City bombing was financed, government lawyers yesterday tied Terry Lynn Nichols to a cache of exotic firearms and other valuables reporter stolen from an Arkansas gun collect "Testifying at Nichols' trial, Karen Anderson, the roommate of gun enthusiast Roger Moore, identified about a dozen weapons and other items, including pieces of expenlsive jade, that she said were stolen from the Moore farm. Some of the items were discovered in Nichols' home in Kansas after the bomb- ing. AROUND TH E WORL Allies may adust sanctions on ra ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - As an incentive for Iraq to end its confrontation with the United Nations over weapons inspections, the United States and its allies are considering "modest adjust- ments" in part of the international sanc- tions against Baghdad - maybe allow- ing Iraq to expand its oil sales, a senior U.S. official said yesterday. Other possibilities include increasing the variety of humanitarian goods Iraq is allowed to buy through the special U.N. arrangement and eliminating periodic reviews of the progran. The proposals, which U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright discussed yesterday with the British and French before flying to Pakistan, would give Moscow and Paris new leverage in their consultations with Baghdad - and potentially a face-saving mecha- nism for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to reverse course. Over the weekend, the United States invited Russia and France to mediate the Iraqi crisis. The next phase of the show- down is expected to be dominated by their intervention. But the United States, through its pos- sible shifts in the Baghdad embargoso wants to undercut the primary sour f opposition worldwide to the United Nations' sustaining against Iraq the longest, most comprehensive sanctions in modern history.
