The strike was intended to help GEO members negotiate with the University on financial and fringe benefits for graduate student instructors. The GEO's conversion to a union ensured recognition the Michigan Employment Relations Commission and permit' negotiations with the University. 24 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK 10 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (FEB.21,1990) (Feb. 20, 2004) The University began issuing non-transferable photo IDs that also served as real cards. The new system served as a response to a number of problems with University yellow cards, including the problem of theft. The new cards were modeled after yellow cards and combined the functions of those used in the College of Engineering and the Ross School of Business. The cards included a magnetic strip that allowed students to purchase meals in dining halls, check out books from the library and enter laboratories and other University facilities. Supporters of the Lecturers' Employee Organization rallied in front of the Fleming Administration Building before the weekly scheduled University's Board of Regents meeting of the week. The rally's goal was to highlight support for increased benefits and job security for non-tenure track faculty at the University. Other concerns included higher wages and increased representation in University policy-making. - MAYA KALMAN Newsroom 734-418-4ns opt.3 Corrections corrections@nichigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section ,por@,,schigadaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmait.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com EditorialPage opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classiied@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com LSA freshman Samantha Newton has a Valentine's Day date with Art & Design seniors Callie Stewart and Tara Ellis on the Diag Friday. i CRIME NOTES League larceny In a scrape WHERE: The Michigan WHERE: Church Street League carport WHEN: Thursday at about WHEN: Friday at about 3 9:10 a.m. a.m. WHAT: A subject was WHAT: A car was found reportedly disrupting with deliberate scratches ongoing events and on the sides,University possibly attempting to steal police reported.

(AP) - A verdict in the city of Jackson- ville is again raising the issue of self-defense and race in Florida, just seven months after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin. Michael Dunn, a white 47-year-old software developer, could face 60 years in prison following his conviction Saturday on multiple counts of attempted murder for shooting into a carful of teenagers outside a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012. Jordan Davis, a black 17 year old, was killed in the shooting, but the jury couldn't reach a verdict on the first- degree murder charge against Dunn. A mistrial was declared on that count. The verdi delivered in when he wa the shootin old Martini miles south Like Zim he felt his lii he fired the suggested t see it that w Followint loud music that Davis he shot at t handgun - and thought the car.

A, But in each case, jurors were told by the judges that they should acquit if they found the defendant had no duty to retreat and had the right to "stand his ground:' That phrase is part of standard instructions given jurors when they weigh a case involving a claim of self-defense. 3 But the state's stand your ground law was technically not part of either trial. d"Dunn's attorney argued self- defense, which has been around forever," said Miami defense law- yer and former assistant U.S. At- torney David Weinstein. "I think people will say that because some of the language from the stand your ground statute gets embed- ded into the jury instructions,that stand your ground has an effect." Judge Russell L. Healey could impose a 60-year sentence - state statutes call for a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years on each second-degree attempted murder conviction. But the Florida Supreme Court could reduce the total sentence to 20 years if it decides that consecutive sentences are not appropriate when the sentences arise from one criminal episode, said Weinstein. Eruption debris is used as a valuable construction addititive SIDOMULYO, Indonesia (AP) - The ash and debris that Indo- nesia's Mount Kelud blasted from its belly brought death and mis- ery, and disrupted international air traffic. But for many of the mil- lions of people cleaning up in the wake of the explosive eruption, it was also a money earner and a shot of life for their crops. "This is a blessing of the disaster," said Imam Choiri, a farmer who was scraping up the ash from the road to use as fertilizer on his small vegetable plot a few kilometers from the crater of the rumbling mountain. Choiri said locals believe the ash helps drive away pests from crops. The eruption of the 1,731-meter (5,680-foot) -high mountain on Java island late Thursday was one of the most dramatic to hit Indonesia in recent years, with ash falling as far as 600 kilometers (370 miles) away., Four people, including a 97-year-old woman, were killed when the roofs of their homes caved in under the weight of ash. More than 100,000 people were evacuated to temporary shelters. On Saturday, scientists said Kelud's activities were dying down, in line with its reputation as a mountain that blows its top dramatically but then quickly settles down for another 10 years or so. But authorities warned that water from its crater, along with rain, could bring deadly landslides of fresh ash and rocks down river beds into villages and valleys. Army troops enforced a ban on people returning to houses within 10 kilometers (6 miles) of the volcano, but many people sneaked back to check on livestock and clean up. Authorities were finding it hard to prevent people from returning, given the money farmers stand to lose by staying away, and said about 56,000 people remained in 89 shelters. "Our cows need to be milked. If they aren't, they can get sick and die," said Marjito, who was riding on a motorbike with his wife to his village around 5 kilo- meters (3 miles) from the crater. "We have so much work to do, including running and hiding from security officers," said his wife, Dinayah. Like.many Indo- nesians, both go by a single name. Volcanic ash and debris are also prized in the building industry because they make especially strong cement, and sand diggers can charge almost twice as much per load than they can for regular sand. Scores of diggers were collecting the fresh, easy-to-dig sand, packing the windfall into bags or onto trucks. "Kelud is a valuable source of livelihood to me and my family," Harjito Huda, a sand miner from Ngancar village, said. Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said that the Juanda international airport in the country's second- largest city, Surabaya, resumed operation late Saturday along with three others in Malang, Semarang and Cilacap. A total of seven airports on Java - Indonesia's most densely populated island and home to more than half of the country's 240 million people - had been closed because of ash on the runway and on planes. Three other airports in Bandung, Solo and Yogyakarta are scheduled to reopen later Sunday or Tuesday at the latest, Ervan said. The Darwin, Australia-based Volcanic Ash Advisory Center informed that the conditions in Indonesia are safe for airlines, he said.
