Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, February 6, 1991 GULF Continued from, page 1 is successfully cutting supply lines to Iraqi troops at "a pretty fantastic rate," said Col. John McBroom, commander of the First Tactical Fighter Wing. In an interview with the Asso- ciated Press and two other news organizations, McBroom said more bombing runs are being aimed at addam's troops each day. The al- lies are able to concentrate on the troops because they are easing up on earlier targets, including Iraq's nuclear and chemical facilities. "Most of our sorties now are geared toward attriting out the people in Kuwait," McBroom said, using the military euphemism for killing. "We're taking a very heavy toll on the troops." McBroom, whose wing flies F- 15 escorts for allied bombers, said the success of air attacks on Iraqi troops had convinced him that any plans for an allied ground assault should be put on hold. British officers yesterday re- ported strikes on an ammunition storage site south of Baghdad, and a railway junction and rail bridge in southeast Iraq, among other tar- gets. Baghdadis were told by official radio yesterday that all sales of heating oil and other fuel had been banned. BUDGET Continued from page 1 crafted to minimize their impact on average depositors. Individual depositors would be covered for no more than $200,000 per institution, eliminating exotic combinations of trust and joint ac- counts which now enable families to insure more than $1 million. Moreover, regulators would be dis- couraged from fully reimbursing uninsured deposits, which they have done so far in virtually all bank failures. Longstanding laws barring commercial and industrial compa- nies from owning banks would crumble, as would the division of banking from the insurance and securities industry.

"Lithuania is in observance of law ... and views the president's decree as impermissible political interference in the matters of the sovereign Lithuanian state," he said. The decree followed Gor- bachev's order for new talks with the Baltics and seemed a clear at- tempt to force Lithuanians to seek independence only on the Krem- sults. "The poll and the attempt to call it a 'plebiscite on the future of the Lithuania state' are legally in- valid," his decree said, according to the state news agency Tass. The poll "cannot be seen as anything other than an attempt to block...the holding of a national referendum on the question of pre- serving the Soviet Union," said Gorbachev, who has called for all fifteen republics to vote March 17 on whether to preserve the union. He ordered national authorities and Soviet-controlled officials in Lithuania to "ensure strict imple- mentation" of the national referen- newed federation of equal, sovereign republics in which the rights and freedoms of people of all ethnic groups will be fully guaranteed?" The Lithuanian poll asks: "Do you support the idea that Lithuania must be an independent, demo- cratic republic?" Voters must answer "Yes" or "No." Soviet experts have noted that both questions are loaded to elicit "Yes" responses. At least five republics have re- fused to hold referendums under Soviet law, which they reject on their territory. Three of the republics, includ- Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson HOUSING AII K !

The re- gents must approve the proposed rates in order for them to take effect. "We met in November and early December, and things changed after we met with the merger between the Housing Divi- sion and Michigan Union," said Larry Durst, business manger for the University Housing Office. The Single Student Housing Rate Study Committee originally recommended a 5.9 percent in- crease in housing rates - 5.6 per- cent for inflation and .3 percent to shift the purchase of mattresses from the reserve budget to the op- erating budget. "The 5.6 percent rate increase is to cover a market basket of things... wages, raw food costs, utilities, and telephone," Foulke said. Although the committee does not formally fix ratios between room and board, board averages 48 percent of the rate which a student pays and room makes up the re- maining amount. The Family Housing Rate Study Committee originally re- quested a five percent rate in- crease, but due to the expansion of the Housing Division, residents of 1,672 family housing units will pay an average of 5.4 percent more per year. For instance, a furnished one- bedroom apartment at University Terrace will increase from $375 to $390 per month. altic poll. ing Lithuania, scheduled alterna- tive polls. Gorbachev's decree did not mention Estonia's vote on March 3 or Georgia's on March 31.0 The decree as reported by Tass did not say what measures woldd be taken to enforce the March 17 vote. Soviet authorities could call a vote on that date, but it would be difficult if not impossible to carry out republic-wide balloting without cooperation of the local govern- ment. s Lithuanian leaders "are taking advantage of the aggravated so- cial-political atmosphere in the re- public. (Lithuania's) leadership is trying, with the help of this poll, to organize support for its separatist aspirations," the decree said. Director of Family Housing Eric Luskin explained the discrepancy between the two inflation estiW mates occurred because the two types of housing rely on different sources of energy. "The two committees' esti- mates won't be exactly the same because we have little reliance on steam, but a high reliance on natu- ral gas. Residence halls are highly reliant on steam. The inflation es- timate for gas is nine percent, bt* for steam it is four percent. The rates depend on the building and the building's needs," Luskin said. Both committees looked to other universities for information regarding inflation to set their housing rates. "We remain cognizant of where we are in relation to other schools. In. the state of Michigan* we are one of the most expensive. In the Big Ten we are close to the top... Schools exchange informa- tion on what projections they have made in terms of the rate of infla- tion, utilities," Foulke said. Foulke said that during his in- volvement with the Single Student Housing Rate Study Committee, housing rates have remained con- sistent with inflation.a "Our rate increases have stayed extremely consistent - not in ex- cess of the increase in the Con- sumer Price Index... When there have been slight variations it has been because of an increase or de- crease in services or programs."

Most other programs have workshops but no office." SAPAC offers more than 50 workshops each semester on women's empowerment, self-de- fense, sexism awareness, sexual harassment, and men's involve- ment in rape prevention. "We have turnouts of about 25 people per workshop that are al- ways increasing," Steiner said. "Our first few workshops had only five participants at most." The FBI estimates that rape is the most underreported crime, with less than ten percent of all rapes reported. Statistics show that 90 percent of reported rapes involve acquaintances of the victims. In 1985, the year before; SAPAC was established, three; rapes were reported on campus. In SAPAC's first year, the number increased to 12. In 1989, 100 rapes were reported at the University. Since increasing education causes more people to identify and. report assault, there was a general fear that the University would be viewed as a rape hot spot, Steiner said. "This type of service is costly," Steiner said. "It's a matter of prior- ity. You need to ask the adminis- tration how they decide where the money goes." SAPAC has had no budget in- crease since the office opened.40 Since then, they have developed SAFEWALK's team walking ser- vice and expanded the Nite Owl bus service. s E Burnham Associates 543 Church Street (313) 761-1523 1001 S.
