The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 1, 2000 - 7 Sarak calls off Syrian peace talks Los Angeles Times warplanes strafed suspected militant strongholds JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak yes-:erday called off peace talks with Syria until the Damascus regime reins in Shiite Muslim guerrillas who killed three Israeli sol- diers and a senior Lebanese ally. Barak's ultimatum came amid a fierce escala- ti of fighting in southern Lebanon and despite s for restraint from U.S. officials, who have been struggling to put the negotiations back on track. In the worst fighting in months along the region's last active battlefront, Syrian-backed guerrillas of the Hezbollah launched rocket and artillery attacks on Israeli forces and Israel's proxy militia, the South Lebanon Army.

"Israel will not be able to negotiate peace as long as the Syrians do not restrain the Hezbollah from acting against the Israeli army in the secu- rity zone," Barak said in a statement issued after an emergency Cabinet meeting. Israel and its allies have occupied the 9-mile- deep "security zone" in southern Lebanon for nearly 15 years. Hezbollah is waging a battle to oust them. Negotiations between Israel and Syria were launched in December at the White House amid much fanfare. The talks were suspended last month in what U.S. officials insisted was a momentary glitch.

There are 10 rooms available to stu- dents organizations in the Michigan League, the Michigan Union, Pierpont Commons and at the Trotter House. The rooms range in capacity from 140 to 600 occupants. "There is a life-safety code that we a ys have to follow," League Direc- tor Bob Yecke said. "The capacity is determined by the square footage of the room, the number of exits and how quickly we can get people out of the building in an emer- gence,"he said "We then plug this into a formula determined by the federal government and we determine capacity," Yecke said. cke said room capacity is a crucial isl because in order to determine the number of pmeople in a room, wrist- bands are given to participants. Issues have been raised that wristbands are not used by all stu- dent groups are required on campus, but they to be used by parties sponsored by minority organiza- tions. The committee studying the policy will recommend changes to the policy to the Office of the Dean of Students by March 15. "The people that were outside the Union protesting are not here," he said, referring to a protest spon- sored by the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action By Any Means Necessary of the Union's wristband policy in November. "This policy was a reactionary policy," LSA senior Kevin Jones said. "I'm willing to suggest that times have changed and this policy isn't that necessary, he said. "The facility-use policy works, so we should scrap the dance/party pol- icy and build from there." The committee encourages Univer- sity students to offer their input on the issue by participating in a student survey.
