2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 19, 2000 NATION/X ORLD Dry fraternities may become more common ACROSS THE NATION sK- .T_-_ . _._ ALCOHOL Continued from Page 1 house, there is no alcohol. If they have a party at any other house which is not substance free, they can have alcohol. As long as they follow national fraternity guidelines, they can do whatever is allowed," Mountz said. Hockman also said that removing alcohol from chap- ter houses does not mean that the fraternity can not serve alcohol at parties held in other locations. "By removing alcohol from chapter property we are not saying that our members can not make their own choices," Hockman said. Theta Chi Executive Director Dave Westol said the national organization, including its Ann Arbor chap- ter, has adopted a plan to have all houses and facilities alcohol-free by July 1, 2003. "We are part of ... a risk management consortium of 50 national fraternities and sororities which have all agreed to follow several alcohol policies," Westol said. "They are basically no open parties, the chapter can't provide alcohol, they either have to have it BYOB or hire bartenders and there must be limits in the size of the event" IFC President Adam Silver said he does not believe that dry chapter houses will dissuade students from rushing and pledging the fraternities. "People look to join a brotherhood for the people who they will be surrounded by," Silver said. "I don't think that it will affect rush at all." Westol said he agrees that rush will not be affected by the initiative to remove alcohol from Theta Chi's chapter houses. "Our expectation is that for every guy we lose, another says 'I like this.' This way the house stays clean, the alumni give more money and the guys will be a significant cut above some who get in now who join purely for alcohol," Westol said. The Social Responsibility Committee, the organiza- tion responsible to ensure alcohol policies are obeyed by all member organizations, will not be responsible for checking to be sure alcohol is not present in substance- free houses. YOUR SPRING BREAK PACKf AGE INCLUDES "Substance-free houses are implemented by the individual organizations of the national fraternity. It is not with the IFC to monitor that," Mountz said. Hockman said that the substance-free chapters of Delta Sig will be enforced by "landlords, alumni who advise the chapter and the chapter itself." Although IFC will not be regulating substance-free chapter houses, all fraternities and sororities on cam- pus must still adhere to the IFC and Panhellenic Association's Social Environment Management Policy. According to the policy, "no bulk quantities of alco- hol such as kegs, party balls, punch bowls or any com- munal alcohol container of more than two liters are permitted at any social event" In addition, "the host- ing member chapter(s) will require all those attending the event to present proof of legal age in order to con- sume alcoholic beverages." According to the policy, all sponsoring organizations must also provide food and alternative beverages, other than water, in plain view and be of a "quantity reason- able" with the potential attendance.

"It would seem to me that it is irre- sponsible to spend tax payer money on enforcing this ordinance, but also defending this ordinance in the courts," said Tom Whitehouse, Ann Arbor Board of Realtors president. A majority of the speakers during the public hearing were Ann Arbor realtors who urged the council not vote for the proposal because of the numerous restrictions on signage in the proposed ordinance. The realtors were threaten- ing to sue the city if the ordinance passed, but not all of the realtors who spoke were against the amendment. "I very much regret the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors threat to sue if the ordinance is passed," said Eunice Burns, a realtor with Charles Rienhart realty and a former city council member. SOLE Continued from Page i WRC, they will pass their recommenda- ov tion to Bollinger for consideration. Committee member Martha Johnson optional Chaddock said the committee is "totally in re sync with (SOLE's) goals" but added she was not willing to consider an early vote. "We are working very hard. We take aca this very seriously'" said Chaddock, apply, manager of University Trademarks and Licensing, adding that the committee has not been working to meet SOLES Feb. 2 ultimatum for the University to endorse the WRC. * The policy will greatly affect the University and therefore needs to be thoroughly examined, Chamberlin said. ® ® If Bollinger does not sign the WRC by the ultimatum date, SOLE members said they will take action, but would not go into details on what action they could take. Last March, 30 SOLE members stormed and occupied Bollinger's office for 51 hours. ENGLER Continued from Page 1 education is not likely to be stressed, Hansen said, who serves on the House Education Committee. "We haven't had a higher education issue all year:"'he said. The affirmative action question that lingers in the air - especially at the 20 University - is going to be answered by 40 the courts, not the legislative or executive branches of government, Hansen said. Brater said Engler has ignored mental health issues the past year and during a -9669! press conference yesterday, Brater called for Engler to take action on the issue. -r - 1 Citing a recent report from the Michigan Department of Community Health, Brater said 34 percent of inmates from three state prisons suffer from mental illnesses. Engler closed 15 of the state's 21 mental institutions dur- ing his administration. "When you've turned your jails into mental hospitals, the state of the state 1 isn't good," Brater said. Arab-Americans spurn airport survey WASHINGTON - An Arab- American group is criticizing a Transportation Department plan to ask airline passengers about their ethnicity and religion - an effort intended to test the level of discrimination felt by fliers. "When we start down the road of ask- ing people to provide this kind of infor- mation, where does it take us?" asked James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute, a Washington- based Arab-American interest group. The department intends to gather the ethnic and religious background and citizenship information to help it deter- mine if passengers feel they were sin- gled out for scrutiny by security offi- cials for no good reason. In light of the concerns voiced by the Arab American Institute, department spokesperson Bill Mosley said yester- day that no final decision has been reached on whether the surveys will be distributed. "We just want to ensure that no dis- Clinton urges Syria to resume talks WASHINGTON - President Clinton talked by telephone with Syrian President Hafez Assad for almost an hour yesterday in a determined effort to persuade Syria to resume interrupted Middle East peace talks. Clinton's call to the wily Syrian autocrat came as Secretary of States Madeleine Albright predicted that Israel and Syria eventually will overcome half a century of animosity and sign a formal peace treaty, despite the inde* nite postponement of high-level negotiations that had been scheduled to resume today. Albright and nongovernmental Middle East experts said Assad's objective ir delaying the talks was almost certainly to gain procedural advantage, not to torpe- do the peace process, which seems closer to success than at any time since the cre- ation of the Israeli state in 1948. "The logic of peace has become compelling" for both Syria and Israel, Albright said. "Their leaders will have to take hard, fateful, even painful deci- sions, but they have increasingly come to understand that there is no better alternative." Albright said the latest snag came over the same procedural issue that twice stalled the two countries' talks earlier this month in Shepherdstown, W.Va. - t order in which the key issues will be discussed and resolved. crimination occurs, "Mosleysaid.

Fish deaths affect * Indiana campaign ANDERSON, Ind. - Riverfront resi- dents knew something was wrong when carp began leaping seven feet out of the water and thrashing about on shore. Before long, dead carp and minnows were piling up on the banks. Hundreds of thousands of fish have collected along a 50-mile stretch of t White River since the water was po soned five weeks ago by what investi- gators suspect was an industrial polish- ing agent used at an auto parts plant. "It is like someone dropped a nuclear bomb:',said Josh McDermott, who lives near the river. "The fish had jumped six or seven feet onto the shore. It was like they were jumping out of the water to try and get away from whatever it is".

"God is great!" a teen-age boy screamed as his friends pushed a car out of the garage and turned it over in the street. The crowd scattered when a squad of riot police arrived. Muslim mobs targeted Lombok's Christian minority for a second day yes- terday, burning and ransacking homes in the main town of Mataram and forcing hundreds of tourists to flee. Security forces fired warning shots to stop one gang from storning a police station, where 500 Christians had taken sheltered. Yesterday's violence came a day after mobs burned and desecrated a dozen churches and other Christian places of worship in Lombok, 670 miles east of Jakarta. Some fear religious intolerance, which has gripped another part of east- ern Indonesia for more than a year, has taken root in Lombok and could sweep across the sprawling Southeast Asi nation, putting at risk its transition democracy. Japanese cult admits leader's tie to attack TOKYO -Nearly five years after a lethal poison gas attack on the Tokyo subway, Aum Supreme Truth leaders admitted yesterday for the first time that cult founder Shoko Asahara wUa probably involved in that mass killin and other crimes. In a communique sent to news orga- nizations and posted on the group's Website, cult leaders announced that Aum will change its name, "dramati- cally" reforming its teachings and sell- ing off $952,000 worth of property to compensate its victims. Twelve people died in the satin gas attack. - Compiled from Daily wire repo Top students take notes in your classes and provide them in typed paragraph format.
