2 - TheMichigan Daily - Tuesday, January 27, 1998 MSA Continued from Page 1 MSA's coursepack store would eliminate the high costs that students pay at other coursepack distributors because students would just pay for the cost of the paper and the cost of the ,copies instead of paying for overhead costs. The store would be open the first two months of each semester and would operate ): - of the basement of the Michigan Union Bookstore. Coursepack copies would cost $ .03-.04 per page. Nagrant also explained that the delay in the operation of the studetit-run coursepack store is partly due to complications itr finding an affordable copy machine to do the job. MSA has .been working with Lanier Copy Company. Lanier, Copy Company "won't sign a contract with us unless it's for a year. And that contract works out to $10-20,000 for I^"ofle year," Nagrant said. It would be difficult for the coursepack store to put out enough coursepacks in such a short time to pay for the copi- er, Nagrant said. "One of the negotiations we're going to try is to get coursepacks for 115 and 116 level math," Nagrant said. The earnipgs from the math coursepacks "would sustain the copi- NATION/WORLD I _ er alone. Right now it's all about cutting costs" LSA first-year student Brian Reich, who is working with Nagrant to organize the coursepack store, said MSA had every intention of having the copier ready by this semester. "The goal was to get a high-powered copier in our hands and in place in time for the beginning of the semester," said Reich, an LSA representative and vice-chair of the Campus Governance Committee. "It's a tough thing because these copiers are enormous and enormously expensive." MSA representatives initially overestimated the altruism of the copier companies, Reich said. "Admittedly, at first when we went to Xerox and a couple of the others, we were hoping they'd be really generous and just give (a copier) to us," Reich said. "That would be ideal:" Reich said MSA has the support and commitment from some University professors, but MSA still ran into obstacles. "It's a lengthy process to convince these professors to change the way that they're doing things," Reich said. "It's basically the kind of process where you have to sit down with each one indi- vidually and explain the merits of the coursepack store" Despite the obstacles that have delayed the opening of the store, Nagrant said he is confident that cheaper coursepacks will be available to students by the fall. IRAQ Continued from Page 1 inspectors. While saying that they have not abandoned hope of a peaceful end to the crisis, officials have begun contacting allies to inform them of U.S. resolve to act unilaterally if diplomatic efforts fail. * Russian President Boris Yeltsin yester- day sent Deputy Foreign Minister Viktor Posuvalyuk, a top Middle East expert, to Iraq in an effort to promote a diplomatic asses starting in outcome.

Last fall, a similar Russian mission was instrumental in persuading Saddam Hussein to permit the return of the weapons inspectors to Iraq. In return for Iraqi cooperation, Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov promised to lobby for an eventual end to economic sanctions that were imposed on Iraq after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Generally, Primakov has been trying to forge an assertive foreign policy role for Russia and the repetitive Iraqi crises have provided a stage for showing inde- pendence from the United States. Council. But a foreign ministry spokesperson said yesterday there were "regular con- sultations" going on with Washington. Russian officials say that the Yeltsin government shares the same objectives as the United States - to eliminate Baghdad's capacity to make chemical and biological weapons - but differs in tactics. The Foreign Ministry said in a state- ment that the use of force is "unaccept- able and counterproductive," and any further steps must be taken by the U.N.

AROUND T E NATIOQN Foundation pledges $55M to schools WASHINGTON - Saying every child needs a place to go after school, President Clinton announced yesterday that a Michigan foundation has pledged $55 million over five years for after-school programs. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in Flint, which has long been asso ciated with after-school programs, is providing the funding to help commt nities start or expand after-school programs for children from lower-income families. The funding is aimed at boosting the quality of such programs by provid- ing technical assistance and training. It comes as the Clinton administration is asking Congress for $1 billion over the next five years for after-school programs. The administration's request represents a significant increase in such funding. his The administration's budget for this fiscal year included $40 million for after- ha- school programs. The new request would help some 4,000 after-school programs ied, serving about 500,000 students nationally, Education Department officials said. ore, "Most of the kids who get in trouble get in trouble after school closes and befo with their parents get home from work," Clinton said in a White House ceremony r to attended by the first lady, Vice President Al Gore, Education Secretary William Riley and William White, president of the Mott foundation. e," ras. not Airport naine may ered drive to memorialize the nation's hat 40th president, though they have hopes old honor Reagan of slowing it.
