as practicable ... The right of a non-
smoker to protect his or her health and
comfort will take precedence over
another's desire to smoke."
For the most part, the policy says,
smoking is prohibited in all
University buildings and "smokers
are expected to stay a reasonable dis-
tance from building entrances, in
order not to interfere with access or
the rights of others." But "smoking
will be permitted for controlled
research, education or religious cere-
monial purposes, with prior approval
of the dean or direct responsible for
the facility."
RED SHIRTS

attacked, tied to a fence and beaten to
death, in part because he was homo-
sexual, early last October.
Nancy Miller, an administrative
assistant for the Undergraduate
Research Opportunity Program and
Women In Science Engineering, also
said the Matthew Shepard killing was
in the back of her mind as she dressed
for Red Shirt Day.
"Education is necessary and wear-
ing a red shirt is a wonderful visible
mean of support of gay issues," Miller
said.
Miller said she couldn't otherwise
support Visibility Week because of her
work schedule, but was pleased that
she was able to show support despite
her busy schedule.
LSA first-year student Wade
Penhorwood said he did not think Red
Shirt Day would be a big event for
Visibility Week, but was ecstatic to see
all the red shirts worn in the Diag
throughout the day.
"That's why I love Ann Arbor so
much," Penhorwood said. "The com-
munity is so supportive."
Penhorwood, a gay student at the
University, also said red is a good
color for the LBGT community to
chose for the day, because it evokes
emotion and the act of wearing a red
shirt is "a simple way to get the point
across."
But not all red shirt wearers said
they are advert supporters of the les-
bian, gay, bisexual and transgendered
community. One University student,
who did not want to be identified, hid
his red shirt by zipping up his coat the
instant he was informed it was Red
Shirt Day. Upon learning that the
shirts are intended to represent sup-
port for the community, the student
said it was "not OK, because I'm not
gay."
Activities for Visibility Week will
continue through Sunday, Feb. 14,
including the LGBT Kiss-In on the
Diag at Noon on Friday.

Dems push for investigation into Starr
WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats yesterday urged Attorney General
Janet Reno to move quickly in investigating new allegations that independent
counsel Kenneth Starr's office misled her about the genesis of the Monica
Lewinsky investigation.
Newly disclosed records show that when Starr sought to secure approval fi
Reno in January 1998 to look into the Lewinsky matter, his prosecutors told Reno's
aides they had "no contacts" with lawyers for Paula Jones, who was suing
President Clinton for sexual harassment.
But the independent counsel's office has acknowledged that just days earlier an
attorney working closely with the Jones camp had contacted a Starr prosecutor
regarding Clinton's involvement with a White House intern. Starr's attorneys say
that was when they first learned of allegations that Clinton had encouraged.the
intern to lie about their affair.
While Starr's critics have accused him of failing to volunteer potential conflicts
surrounding his investigation, the new disclosures represent the first indication that
his prosecutors may have actively misled authorities when they sought to exp=I
their probe.
Officials with Starr's office have steadfastly denied any collusion with lawyers
for Jones.
