Since 1890 Vol. Cl, No.100 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Wednesday, February 20, 1991 ThI129 wa AnI 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- See GUNS, Page 2 U.S. nixes 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.

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 See DRUNK, Page 2 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 See ESP, Page 2 ANTHONY M.
