Schauer added that he supported the state resolution allowing casinos to operate on Native American reser- vations, but said he feels the type of gambling in Jaye's bill leaves too many possibilities open. "I think there could be some negative repercus- -sions," he said. Marc Amy, manager of Gallagher's Eatery and Sports Bar on South State Street, said the passage of Jaye's bill would allow businesses to join in the fun with their customers. "Being a sports bar, it would be an especially good idea. We could get everybody involved," Amy said, adding that owners and employees know small-stakes betting takes place, but estab- lishments try to distance themselves from gam- bling activities. The threat of prosecution keeps a strict no-gam- bling policy in place at Touchdown Cafe, said gener- al manager Julie Hazimi. But a change in the law could equal a change in business - and that's some- thing the Ann Arbor bar would eagerly take advan- tage of, she said. "There's always an interest," Hazimi said. "If (the law) passed, it would be a real draw." Hazimi also said gambling pools organized by restaurants or bars would take away the headache for participants. "If there was an establishment that set it up, took the work out of it and kept track of points, I think it would be a great thing for customers," she said. LSA sophomore Craig Peiser said if the bill passes, he would definitely participate in bar-sponsored pools. "Everyone is doing it anyway and I haven't really heard of anyone getting caught," Peiser said. "If it's going to help a business draw customers, then I think it's OK." Peiser also said the broad range of participants in bar and restaurant-sponsored pools would make them more fun. "As long as the money they make isn't through the pool, it might make things more interesting" if a big- ger group is involved, he said. AROUND THE NATION M Pentagon scrambles to avoid shortage WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is scrambling to avoid a shortage of Crnise missiles, increasingly the weapon of choice in attacking heavily defended targets in places like Iraq and Yugoslavia. Before the latest NATO strikes over Kosovo and Serbia, the Air Force was down to 150 cruise missiles carrying conventional warheads. At least 30 have .bj launched since then. The Navy has more than 2,000 but is using them up at a 'fater rate. No cruise missile production line is in operation. "The stocks of air-launched cruise missiles are limited, and it's something we're addressing" Pentagon spokesperson Kenneth Bacon said yesterday. The dwindling supply is "something we do worry about," he said. "We halve a supply now but it won't last forever. But we certainly have enough to continue striking important targets." The Air Force announced yesterday that the Office of Management and Budget was permitting it to convert 92 nuclear-tipped cruise missiles into conventional air- launched cruise missiles, or CALCMs. The $51 million program will require con- gressional approval. In an era in which aversion to casualties tops the list of military priorities, cn missiles have increasingly become Pentagon planners' preferred weapon. _- InNy1MIIMtlr 11M1Y1Yi1 Oq OM 01IP fIMIO Ir (Hong Kong Style) caFeteria 510 E.

Michigan's Asian students and fre- quently extended to them the hospitali- ty of his home," Bordin wrote. The scholarship Barbour established for Asian students in 1917 brought many more women of color to campus. "Among women students at Michigan, racial integration and accep- tance seem to have functioned in the 1890s," Bordin wrote. "Segregation and prejudice came later." With the1920s came an influx of not only more college students across the country, Solomon wrote, but also more people of different races, religions and ethnic backgrounds applying to the pre- dominantly white institutions. "Not all institutions welcomed the influx," Solomon wrote. Older private schools, "perturbed ... by the ethnic diversity of new students," came up with ways to restrict access to people who did not fit their standards.

While the majority of black college students attended historically black col- leges, Jewish women's enrollment was rising at all the predominantly white schools, Solomon wrote. At the University, Jewish women were not excluded from available housing, but Asian and black women often had trou- ble finding good housing, Bordin wrote. Not only did black women have to live in segregated housing during the 1920s, but "the color line was drawn at all campus dances and other social activities. African Americans were banned from the university's swimming pools and gymnasia. Racism flourished among the faculty, students, and admin- istrators." The Negro-Caucasian Club, formed in 1926 by black and white students, helped to change University housing policies, Bordin wrote. MSA Continued from Page 2. Students who receive an e-mail titled "Your MSA Elections Ballot," can recast their vote until 11:59 Thursday at www.umich.edu/-vote. Members of the Students Party, including Chopp, a presidential can- didate, planned to file a complaint with the Central Student Judiciary about certain decisions the Elections Board made since last week. The CSJ is a group of students appointed by the assembly to handle complaints against the elections board. Members of the elections board "are trying to keep candidates in the election," Chopp said. "I question the purpose of the elections board." In reaction to the Students' Party's case, Serowik said, "all of the deci- sions of the election board are defendable." Outlook improves for Social Security WASHINGTON - The healthy economy has boosted the fortunes of Social Security and Medicare, delaying the date when each will run short of money, trustees for the two retirement programs announced yesterday. "The strength of our economy has led to modest but real improvements," President Clinton said. It is the second consecutive year that stronger-than-expected economic growth has improved the outlook for the nations retirement system. Medicare, the health insurance pro- gram for the elderly and disabled, had been projected to run short of cash in 2001. Last year that date was moved to 2008, and yesterday's report moves it fur- therto 2015. The Social Security insolvency date, extended last year from 2029 to 2032, was moved yesterday to 2034. Yet Clinton and Republicans in Congress both said they will continue to press for changes to strengthen the retire- ment system this year. "Now is the time to make these changes.... Now, when we have tire on our side," Clinton said. Rep. Clay Shaw (R-Fla.), chair 6f the House Ways and Means Social Secu subcommittee, said lawmakers "mW not lose focus or become complacent. The longer we delay true reform, the more difficult it will be."

Mexico's experiment in Democracy fails MEXICO CITY - In an ill-starred experiment with internal democracy, Mexico's long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party chose a new leader yesterday - the only candidate on the ballot. The party's failure to carry off an election with multiple candidates cast a pall over the victory of Jose Antonio Gonzalez Fernandez. Some analysts predicted that the turbulent election, marred by charges of manipulation, will intensify a power struggle in the party, known as the PRI. "The differences within the party are sharpening. There is permanent uncertainty" about the PRI's future, said Joel Estudillo, an analyst at the Mexican Institute of Political Studies. If divisions in the party aren't healed, "there is the possibility of a return of political violence," he warned, referring to the bloodshed that accompanied the 1994 presiden- tial campaign. The PRI, however, wasn't the only party failing at internal elections reflection of the fragility of MexUc institutions, the main left-wing qppo- sition group, the Democratic Revolution Party, is leaderless 4s well.
