He said while the Asian Pacific American, Latino/a and
Native American divisions are all housed within American
Culture, African American studies is a separate but related
department.
To celebrate the revisal of the APA division, the fac-
ulty is hosting a celebration today in Stillman's office,
2443 Mason Hall, now the central office of the APA
division.
The "event is a celebration to meet the programs faculty
and to celebrate the efforts of students, staff and faculty to
make it materialize," Stillman said.
Emily Lawsin, a lecturer ittAmerican Culture and
women's studies, was hired this year by the University to
teach classes in the APA division.
This semester Lawsin teaches two classes in Asian Pacif-
ic American studies, one dealing with Filipino American
literature, the other an oral history of Asian Pacific Ameri-
can women.
"I think that we live in a society where there are
many different cultures and races and backgrounds,
whether it's sex, class," she said. "All these different
backgrounds that make up our identity and we don't
always learn about these. Michigan is at a forefront of
doing that now."

"One has to work at balancing
short-term impacts with long-term
impacts," she said.
While many students are frustrated
with the inconvenience of the fences,
others don't foresee major problems.
"It's going to be like everything else,
though, we'll just get used to it," said

Hollywood won't guarantee a change
WASHINGTON - Hollywood executives refused to guarantee to lawmaker
yesterday that they would end all marketing of R-rated films to underage auO
ences. Some acknowledged trying to market to children movies made for adults
an effort one studio chief called "a judgment lapse."
A day after the industry released its 12-step plan to stop "inappropritely
specifically" targeting children in advertising R-rated movies, lawmakers derid-
the effort as insufficient and pressed for firmer commitments.
"I don't understand this language. It is filled with loopholes," said Senate
Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.), who convened thi
hearing of eight top studio representatives.
Both the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns weighed in, urg
ing movie makers to take more action.
o put it as bluntly as I can, they have not done enough," said Democratic
vice presidential nominee Joseph Lieberman. "They would not say explicitly tha

FDA poised to rule
on abortion pill
WASHINGTON - With a deadline
fast approaching, the Food and Drug
Administration was poised to decide,
perhaps as early as today, the fate of
the long-awaited abortion pill RU-486.
Abortion-rights advocates said
yesterday they expected the pill to be
approved under certain restrictions
designed to ensure women take it
safely.
If so, it would be a long-awaited vic-
tory for abortion-rights groups. Anti-
abortion organizations have battled to
keep RU-486 out of the United States
since the drug debuted in France in
1988 - and they pledged Wednesday
to continue fighting the drug if it is sold
here.
Approval has been long expected.
The Clinton adninistration in 1994 per-
suaded French manufacturer Roussel
Uclaf to give U.S. rights to the pill to
the nonprofit Population Council,
shich hired a U.S. marketing company
to apply for FDA clearance. In 1996,
the FDA declared RU-486, now known
by its chemical name mifepristone, safe
and effective for early abortion. Bu
problems passing manufacturing ane
labeling requirements delayed fina
approval. The FDA had set Saturday am
its deadline to decide, and could accep
or reject the drug or request more infor
mation.
