Bollinger is the invited guest of physics Prof. emeritus Martinus Veltman, who will be recognized Friday for receiving a Nobel Prize for physics. Last month, John Chamberlin,associate dean of the School for Public Policy and chair of the University's anti-sweatshop advisory committee, which is studying possible labor monitoring pro- ?osals, said the committee would most likely not nake a recommendation to the administration until May. If the University does not meet the Feb. 2 deadline, SOLE members said they would take action, but would not explain what the possible action could entail. But SOLE member Adam Kramer, an LSA senior, said the Feb. 2 deadline could force the advisory com- mittee to quicken its study. "We felt that this gives them ample time to deliber- ate with the advisory board," Kramer said. The University announced yesterday that the Collegiate Licensing Company - a licensing agent managing contracts between licensed manu- facturers and 172 colleges and universities - for- malized a request from six schools, including the University, for the public disclosure of the loca- tions of factories producing licensed apparel by Jan. 1. In July, Athletic Director Tom Goss sent a letter to the University's licensed apparel manufactures requir- ing the disclosure of factory locations by Jan. 1 "The earlier letter was sent only to our licensees and represents one principle of the U-M's Code of Conduct," said Martha Johnson Chaddock, the University's manager of trademarks and licensing in a written statement. Although the move by CLC will affect only the six schools, including the University, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Duke University, Georgetown University, the University of North Carolina and St, John's University, CLC sent the memorandum outlining the request to all CLC members, encouraging them to explore labor issues. ACROSS THE NATION " White House helps to sue gun makers WASHINGTON - The White House is helping prepare a class-action suit against gun makers, alleging that guns and how they are marketed have contributed to violence in public housing projects, administration officials said yesterday. The class-action lawsuit by some or all of the nation's 3,100 local housing authori- ties would be patterned on suits filed against the industry by 29 cities and counties, th' officials said. Those suits claim gun makers have sold defective products or markete them in ways that increase the likelihood they will fall into the hands of criminals. The new legal effort was made known yesterday and was described by some officials as more of a threat aimed at bringing gun manufacturers to the negotiat- ing table than an effort to take them to court. The administration hopes the-threat of a national lawsuit will force gun makers to agree to end practices such as marketing guns that are impervious to fingerprints. A negotiated agreement would allow the administration and gun control advo- cates to claim a victory at a time when Congress has rejected writing into law new firearms restrictions wanted by President Clinton. "The administration intends to work aggressively to ... try to work to reach a set- tlement with the industry," White House domestic policy adviser Bruce Reed saidi "If settlement is not possible, then the public housing authorities are prepared to g forward with their suit." sprin Break Tropical Beaches of Florida BIGGEST POOL DECK PARTIES Bronfman speaks at 'U' 3 I Panama City Daytona-Orlando 5-7 nights Deluxe Room Packages From Only 7 Per *Limited Availability Student " Private Balconies * Efficiency Suites " Jacuzzi Suites ordeY UOfM es ors online BRONFMAN Continued from Page 1 do some thinking. We as a people need to focus on why we shouldn't go out of business," he said. "We're going to try every way we can to impress people that being Jewish is good for them," Bronfman said. Some of the 75 students and University community members in attendance said Hillel doesn't always appeal to all Jewish denominations. Kevin Berman, treasurer of the University Hillel Governing Board, said Bronfman discussed beneficial ways the center can reach out to the University campus. "He had a good message of trying to make Hillel interesting and desir- able to the masses," said Berman, a Course Packets... We've Got You Covered.

Most people deal with questions about the strength of their spirituali- ty at one time or another, said LSA junior Jaime Goldberg, and Bronfman helped ease that insecuri- ty. "As someone who really grapples with Jewish identity, it was really a message of hope and encourage- ment," Goldberg said. Bronfman said he is proof that people are never too old or too late to reaffirm their faith. "I didn't become religiously Jewish until I was about 60 years old," he said, joking. "I'll tell you how much of a rebel I was - I ate ham on Yom Kippur." Joel and Bronfman also delivered speeches to about 200 guests at a dinner later in the evening. STABBING Continued from Page 1 adjacent to the University Power Plant and across from Palmer Field - about one block from yesterday's attack. According to DPS reports, a man holding a four- to six-inch knife asked a woman passing by to give him $1. She complied and the man continued to walk in the opposite direction. "We are doing extra patrols in the area," Skowron said. Brown said the two cases appear to be unrelated, although DPS is not ruling out the possibility. Comparing descriptions of the two attackers, the suspect in yesterday's inci- dent is taller than the suspect in last week's attack. Additionally, Skowron said the suspect in yesterday's incident was masked and the perpetrator in the Dec. 2 attack "did not wear any covering over his face." Brown said students and others walk- ing alone on campus should take precau- tions. "Try not to be alone, but if you are be aware of your surroundings," she said. Mars lander failure stalls future visits PASADENA, Calif. - NASA aban- doned any real hope yesterday for the missing-in-action Mars Polar Lander and promised to investigate every aspect of the failed mission and delay future expeditions to the Red Planet if necessary. The last, best chance to make radio contact with the spacecraft yielded only silence early yesterday. A somber Richard Cook, the space- craft's operations manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 1 said the flight team had "played its last ace." NASA said it will undertake a com- plete review of its ambitious Mars pro- gram, which has now lost three space- craft since 1993 - two of them in back- to-back failures during the past three months. "Clearly something is wrong, and we have to understand it," NASA + Administrator Dan Goldin said. "It is conceivable that we will completely change our approach" Critics have accused the space agency of trying to do too much with too little money with its "faster, better, cheaper" approach to spaceflight, in which smaller, less expensive probes are launched more often than in th past. Trial starts for army bludgeoning death FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - An Army private accused of bludgeon- ing a fellow soldier to death with a baseball bat went on trial yesterday, with military prosecutors saying for the first time that the victim wa killed because he was thought to be gay. Pvt. Calvin Glover of Sulphur, Okla., is charged with premeditated murder in the slaying of Pfc. Barry Winchell in July. Before the start of the court-martial, Glover admitted to a lesser charge of unpremeditated murder in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence.

U.S. officials declined to provide even the sketchiest details of Albright's conversation with the autocratic Syrian leader, saying only that he had provid- ed "new clarifications" on Syria's con- ditions for resuming talks with Israel that broke off in early 1996., Still, Albright's buoyant tone appeared to signal a shift. Prior to her arrival here yesterday, U.S. and Israeli officials had grown skeptical about Assad's desire to resume the talks, despite an initial burst of optimism after the election last spring of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. "I feel, based on my discussions (yesterday), that President Assad is serious about finding the most produc- tive way to" to resume the negotiations, Albright said at a news conference after meeting with Assad and Forei Minister Farouk Charaa at Assad's imposing modern palace overlooking the Syrian capital. Trail begins for 1988 Pan Am bombing CAMP ZEIST, Netherlands - Scottish prosecutor fumbled yest trying to fend off a defense motion drop a key conspiracy charge against two Libyans accused in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
