2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 11, 1999 NATION/WORLD Policy forbids smoking near 'U'buildings SMOKING Continued from Page 1A as close to a smoke-free environment 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 Continued from Page 1A 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. READ THE DAILY. RECYCLE THE DAILY. . t.

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. BM V Wants to up that also resulted in Chair Bed Wants toPischetsrieder's ouster.
