Deputization
fades behind
anti-war effort
by Tami Pollak
Daily Crime Reporter
Hey-hey, ho-ho, where did the
"No Cops" protest go? -
Three months ago, 16 students
were arrested in the Fleming Ad-
ministration Building following an
anti-deputization sit-in in the Pres-
ident's office.
Two months ago eight depu-
tized officers hired by the Univer-
sity's Department of Safety and
Security (DPSS) started patrolling
the campus.
Last month, war broke out in
the Persian Gulf, and the kiosks
that once were covered with "No
Cops, No Guns, No Code," are
now covered with "Stop Bush"
slogans.
While it may seem that campus
activists have traded in their fluo-
rescent "No Guns" T-shirts for pas-
tel "Stop the War" pins, the issue
of deputization of security officials
is still a active topic on campus.
"With the war going on, so
many of the committed activists
have had to prioritize. So although
the movement isn't as large as it
was last term, we are still fight-
ing," said Todd Ochoa, LSA ju-
nior. Ochoa was arrested in
November for chalking anti-depu-
tization slogans and will be going
to trial Feb. 28.
Corey Dolgon, chair of the Stu-
dents Rights Commission (SRC),
said there are plans to hold a
teach-in entitled "Students on
Trial" following next week's break.
Speakers will include Ochoa,
members of the "Fleming 16" who
will be going to trial on April 4,
and a student who is pressing
charges against the University for
an assault at an anti-CIA protest in
1988.
"There are still intersections
coming up that the anti-deputiza-
tion movement will be able to act
on," Ochoa said. "The most obvi-
ous junctures are coming in April,
when the University will consider
switching to legislation to deputize
their officers."~
The legislation the University is
planning to use, Michigan Senate
Bill 254, passed last April, al-
lowed "governing boards of public
four-year higher education institu-
tions to grant the institutions' pub-
lic safety officers the same powers
and authority as granted ... to po-
lice officers."
Currently, the University depu-
tizes and arms security officers
through the Washtenaw County
Sheriff's office. If the University
applies the new legislation, the of-
ficers would instead be account-

Soviet call
for peace
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Tues-
day dismissed a Soviet proposal for ending the war in
the Persian Gulf as "well short of what would be re-
quired." The Pentagon declared its readiness to fight a
ground war against Iraq and predicted victory "in short
order."
After analyzing the Kremlin offer, the adminis-
tration concluded that Gorbachev wanted to "prop up"
Saddam and keep him in power in order to give
Moscow some influence in the region, an ad-
ministration source said.
Bush's chief objection to the plan centered on
conditions it contained. "The main problem is that it
leaves Saddam wounded with his army largely intact
and a threat to the region," the source said. The plan
also provides for Iraq's borders to be protected, and
would not require Baghdad to pay war reparations, as
demanded by the U.N.
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney told Congress that
any pause in the war would allow Saddam Hussein to
regroup his army, which has been weakened by
relentless air strikes. "A cease-fire, a pause of some
kind, would in fact be very dangerous from the
standpoint of U.S. and allied force," Cheney said.
The president was quoted by his spokesperson as
telling the lawmakers, "I obviously cannot say exactly
when a ground operation might commence. What I can
say is, our preparations are on schedule."
The administration stepped back from its announced
willingness to help rebuild Iraq after the war. "We are
not about to pay to rebuild Iraq," Bush told the
lawmakers. "It's a rich country, if they'd just use their
resources wisely," Bush said, according to one
participant.
After a day of silence about Moscow's proposal to
end the war, Bush declared it was inadequate.

Organization coordinates
anti-war group activities
by Robert Patton
Area anti-war activists can now coordi-
nate their activities through an organiza-
tion devoted to publicizing events spon-
sored by groups peacefully protesting the
war.
The Nonviolent Action Clearing House
(NACH) helps about 50 peace groups pub-
licize and receive information about up-
coming demonstrations, teach-ins, and
other events.
Several activists founded the organiza-
tion last month to facilitate cooperation
between anti-war groups, said NACH
member Deb Reinke. "Back in January
there were three rallies planned at the
same time," she said. "More unity was
needed in the movement."
To avoid this kind of confusion in the
future, NACH publishes a master schedule
of anti-war events each week. In addition,
it maintains a small library of videotapes
and transcripts of teach-ins held here and
elsewhere.
NACH collects and distributes updated
scheduling information via newsletters,
electronic mail, and telephone.
However, NACH confines its role to fa-
cilitating an exchange of information.

Program discourages bars from serving intoxicated patrons
by Jeannie Lurie person who is visibly intoxicated toxicated customers have doubled tor in Landover, Maryland, said, the server and another against the said.

Today, more bar employees
refuse to serve obviously drunk pa-
trons and fewer people may be
driving while intoxicated due to a
experimental program imple-
mented by the University of
Michigan Transportation Research
Institute (UMTRI), a head re-
searcher said.
Through the Server Interven-
tion Program, Ann Arbor police
"enforce with great rigor the law
that states it is illegal to serve a
alcoholic beverages," said Fred-
rick Streff, the division head of
UMTRI's Injury Analysis and
Prevention.
The main goal of the program
is to prevent drunk driving by in-
creasing enforcement and making
drinking establishments and pa-
trons aware of this law, Streff said.
"The program seems quite ef-
fective," in its first five months of
operation, Streff added. UMTRI re-
search shows refusals to serve in-
since the beginning of the study.
The program was created by the
National Institute of Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
NIAAA selected Washtenaw
County to run the pilot program
because of its active participation
in enforcement against underage
drinking, said Detective Sergeant
Tom Gray, coordinator of liquor
enforcement at the Washtenaw
County Sheriff's Office.
Liz Langston, project coordina-
"The point is to study whether en-
forcement inhibits servers from
serving visibly intoxicated pa-
trons."
The police enforce the program
by sending undercover cops to sit
in bars for a few hours to identify
obviously intoxicated customers,
people who "can't stand up
straight and are being terribly ob-
noxious and rude." Streff said. If
servers bring them more alcohol,
police issue one citation against
establishment.
"These people ought not be
served for their own protection,
and also to prevent alcohol im-
paired driving," Streff said.
For the sake of comparison,
UMTRI did its own study to obtain
a base number of times bar em-
ployees served visibly drunk cus-
tomers before the implementation
of the program, Gray said. "They
sent people into bars who acted
intoxicated but were not," Gray
They recorded the number of
times drunk decoys were served,
though servers were not breaking
the law because the customers
were not really drunk, Gray said.
"Compared to 80 percent before
(the program began), only 40 per-
cent will be served now," Gray
said.
UMTRI also compares the
number of alcohol related acci-
dents which occurred before and

New party wants
'efficiency' in MS
by Jay Garcia
'A
Daily MSA Reporter
This March, Michigan Studentl
Assembly elections will include a
new party called Emphasizing
Student Power (ESP). LSA sop-
homore Eric Stempien will run for
MSA President on the ESP ticket.
ESP is a progressive party that
falls between last election's
Conservative Coalition (CC) and
Action parties, Stempien said.
The main platforms of the new
party are working for students and
efficiency within the assembly -
both fiscally and politically -
said Stempien. Stempien ran for a
seat on MSA on the Action ticket
last fall and lost.
One problem Stempien sees
within MSA now is fighting over
ideology.
"Our main focus is on students
as opposed to ideology. Executive
leadership (on MSA) now has
some good intentions which get
lost in political fighting. Nothing
gets done," he said, adding the
election process is also too ideo-
logical.
Another reason cited for the
formation of the party is inade-
quate representation of students'
Stempien
viewpoints in MSA and in the par-
ties that vied for seats last fall.
"Action and CC are the radical
views of campus, one far right and
