the MTS user could send a pre-
pared message to University ad-
ministrators asking them to change
the bylaw.
The message was programmed
to be sent to University President
James Duderstadt, Vice President
of Student Services and Associate
Vice President of Academic AU-
fairs Mary Ann Swain, Jayne Thor-
son, a member of the study com-
mittee on the status of lesbian
women and gay men, and Director
of Affirmative Action Zaida Gi-
raldo.
Sam Kaufman, the originator of
the "Zap the Dude" day, said that
as of 3:30 p.m. yesterday over 250
messages were sent. An individual
MTS mailbox will hold up to 250
messages.
Duderstadt said yesterday at
5:30 p.m. that he had received
around 200 messages. It is easy to
identify "mass mailings" and read
one and delete them he said.
Kaufman stressed the impor-
tance of changing the bylaw be-
cause of its legal ramifications.
"(Changing the bylaw) would in-
crease the legal leverage of gay
people who have been discrimi-
nated against in a far more direct
way than a presidential policy,"
Kaufman said.
New Queer Agenda members
said they were satisfied with the
support they received from the
University body. "We have been
getting support from a real cross
section... from every minority and
majority," DeLaurier said.
Soviet officials: GorbaRCHev
sharing po
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev is
no longer in complete control of
his government and is sharing
power with the military, according
to Soviet officials.
In private conversation during
Foreign Minister Alexander Bess-
mertnykh's visit to Washington
this week, one source told the As-
sociated Press the Soviet president
"can't make decisions on his own
and expect them to be carried
out."

fled candidates.
"There has been no ticket set
for the spring election. It's not a
necessity to say anything this
early," he added.
Brett White, another MSA rep-
resentative, said the party was
close to deciding on a candidate.
"We're all almost decided. (The
nominee is) preliminarily chosen,"
he said.
Rackham representative Tim
Darr said the person chosen is less
important than the party as a
whole. "Our strength is not in any
particular person. It's in our mes-
sage," he said.-
White said SCC members
might be secretive because of
MS A's campaigning rules. "We
can get in trouble for campaigning
early," he said.
"There's a specific limit on
MSA campaigns. There are some
very strong statements about when
the campaign begins," Green
agreed.
forms, is "not necessarily" among
those urging the Soviet president
to get tough, this source said.
The crackdown has ranged from
bloody assaults on separatist gov-
ernment facilities in the Baltics to
giving the KGB blanket authority
to search foreign and domestic
business offices for black-market
activities.
A second Soviet official said
preservation of the union has be-
come the single highest priority for
the Kremlin, taking precedence
over the political, economic and
foreign policy reforms that have
been thc hallmark of Gorbachev's
six-year rule.
"This is the most critical mo-
ment in the last 100 years, perhaps
in the millennium of our country's
history," the source said, seeking
to explain the gravity with which
the government regards the situa-
tion.

"Gorbachev is not completely
in control," said the source, who is
well placed to observe Kremlin
decision-making.

The Independent-Greens party
started in West Germany in the
1960s and has been running candi-
dates in Ann Arbor for the last
eight years. Their main goals are
peace, ecology, justice and a re-
turn to a grass roots democracy,
where all citizens have a part in
running city government. This town
meeting format of government is
prevalent in many New England
municipalities.
Kirk Dodge, a part-time Univer-
sity graduate student in the De-
partment of Urban Planning, said
he wants to shift the property tax
burden to all taxpayers and lighten
the load on retired property owners
who live on fixed incomes.
Dodge also said he would make
envirnomental issues a priority.
"I have concern for green space
and environmental issues," Dodge
said. "The voters don't want to see

Do aielKlimaczewski is primar-
ily concerned with development
and city services. "The city should
provide basic services in a reason-
able way," he said. "You should
get what you're paying for."
Klimaczewski suggested that a
Democrat elected to the second
ward could tilt the balance of
power. "This Republican-ruled
Council has had problems govern-
ing the city," he said.
In the Third Ward, Meade, for-
mer Administrative Manager of the
Department of Epidemiology in the
School of Public Health, is con-
cerned with safety, responsible
planning, and the environment. His
campaign stresses council experi-
ence.
Robert Barry said he is con-
cerned about providing basic city
services and the money to pay for
them. He is proposing "an increase
in the number of police officers in
areas that are beginning to see
crime.
"The Third Ward has six of the
ten worst-condition streets that
need to be resurfaced," Barry
added.
Dalynn Park stressed transporta-
tion, housing development and
issues. "here are guidline o

"but there are no teeth in it. We

gotten around by big bucks."
rule, move to a market economy
and pursue a cooperative foreign
policy can only be implemented if
the government can stave off anar-
chy and civil war, the official said.
He complained, as Gorbachev
has, that the separatist government
of Lithuania has trampled on the
rights of the non-Lithuanian minor-
ity in the tiny republic, refused to
negotiate for its independence and
has driven political moderates out@
of the government. But the source
said Western news media concen-
trate only on the confrontation be-
tween Soviet authorities and the
elected Lithuanian leadership.
One U.S. analyst said, "There is
no doubt that there's been a shift
toward reliance on the KGB, the
military-industrial complex and the
army. Gorbachev is influenced by@
them, but he may be using them,
too."
Park said Democrats and
Greens function in many similar
ways, although "we differ from the
Democrats in that we are con-
cerned in the long-term."
Councilmember Jerry Schle-
icher (D-Fourth Ward) was un-
available for comment.
His opponent Kurt Zimmer (R)
said, "I have a city services cam-
paign that is concerned with effi-
ciency, accountability and the
long-term cost of things."
The competition between
Democratic candidates Lisa Danto
and Robert Eckstein will end with
a Feb. 18 caucus. Councilmember
Joe Borda (R-Fifth Ward) was un-
available for comment.0
Danto said housing, high prop-
erty tax and solid waste are the
important issues in this year's race.
"I am not interested in more fund-
ing for parking structures," she
said. "The money should be tar-
geted for low-income, affordable
housing."
Eckstein expressed concern tha*@
future growth of the city should re-
flect the values of Ann Arbor resi-
dents rather than "the narrow in-
terests of developers."
