Peace

renews
'U bond
*by Rachel Freedman
Thirty years ago, President John
F. Kennedy stood on the steps of
the Michigan Union to announce
the idea of the Peace Corps. In
commemoration of the event,
Peace Corps Director Paul
Coverdell will return to the very
spot to announce a new program
between the Peace Corps and the
University.
At 4 p.m. today, University
President James Duderstadt will
join Coverdell at the Union to sign
a memorandum of cooperation to
implement the Peace Corps Fel-
lows-USA program at the Univer-
sity.
The new program offers return-
ing volunteers two years of paid
teaching experience in the Detroit
Schools while they earn a masters
degree and a teaching certificate
at Michigan. The program will
place volunteers in schools and ar-
eas in Detroit where there is a lack
of teachers and certain skills.
"These volunteers bring back
special cross-cultural skills and
experiences that can be of great
use in classrooms in America,"
Robin Dean, University program
coordinator for the Peace Corps,

Iraq releases last of
allied war prisoners
Associated Press
The Iraqis turned over 35 pris-
oners of war, including 15 Ameri-
cans, to the Red Cross in Baghdad
yesterday, and said they were the
last allied captives. Bad weather
delayed a transfer of the ex-POWs
out of Iraq in exchange for Iraqi
prisoners.
With rapid-fire prisoner releases
and proclamations, Iraq struggled
to clear away the fallout of its Gulf
War defeat yesterday. But an anti-
Saddam uprising was reported
sweeping city after city, in what a
dissident spokesperson promised
would be "a long, violent battle."
The Iraqis formally annulled
their "annexation" of Kuwait and
pledged to return looted Kuwaiti
property.
The Kurdish opposition claimed
it seized a major city in the north,
just days after violent protests
against President Saddam Hussein
began spreading through Iraq's
southern cities. American military
sources said Iraqi army units were
choosing sides in bloody local
showdowns.
On Capitol Hill, the House Ap-
propriations Committee approved a
compromise $650 million package
of war aid for Israel and then voted
to spend $42.6 billion to finance
the U.S. effort in the Persian Gulf
War. All but $15 billion of the
larger amount is to be contributed
by allies.
Pentagon sources said a first
wave of returning U.S. troops
would arrive at Andrews Air Force
Base outside Washington tomor-
row.
On Monday, the Iraqis moved
quickly to meet the allies' de-
mands for immediate prisoner re-
leases, freeing six Americans and
four other captives as an initial
gesture.
"Iraq has completed the hand-
ing over of all prisoners," an Iraqi
Foreign Ministry spokesperson was
quoted as saying by Baghdad Ra-
dio.
That meant 29 military people
remained unaccounted for in the
war's aftermath. Yesterday the
Pentagon also updated the U.S. ca-
sualty toll in the 43-day war to 115
dead and 330 wounded. Tens of
thousands of Iraqis were believed
killed.
The prisoners freed yesterday
were to have boarded a Red Cross
plane for Saudi Arabia, after it
flew in 294 Iraqi POWs in an ex-
change.

Students demand 'U' investigation
of incident, ask for MSA's support
by Julie Foster
Daily MSA Reporter
Two students requested Michi-
gan Student Assembly support in
their efforts to make the University
further investigate the Ann Arbor
Police's use of chemical mace to
stop fights that took place at an
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority party
in South Quad Dec. 8.
The two students said they were
speaking on behalf of a larger
group of students who want the
University to take action and make
a statement about the issue.
LSA senior Lester Spence gave
assembly members a petition the
group plans to circulate to stu-
dents. They also distributed a letter
written to University President
James Duderstadt by the group.
The letter condemns the AAPD
for allegedly calling some of the
students "black asses" and
"niggers."
The incident, which occurred in
Dining Room II, was compared to
the riot on South University after
the Michigan basketball team won
the NCAA championship. "That
was a real riot. Cars were over-
turned, people were beaten... but
the police did not use mace,"
Spence said.
LSA first-year student Tonya
Clowney said she believed the po-
lice used mace against the stu-
dents at the party because it was
an African American crowd. She
said racism was evident in the use
of the language the police used.
"They (the police) maced the
students without trying to break up

*Campus war groups plan strategies
SAUSI intends to further cause; SOS and STUDS will disband
by Andrew Levy
With the swift end of the war in
the Persian Gulf, campus groups
formed primarily in response to the
crisis have been left scrambling to
adjust their agendas.
The two largest groups on cam-
pus, Students Against U.S. Inter-
vention in the Middle East
(SAUSI) and Support Our Soldiers
(SOS), along with the Students
United for Desert Storm (STUDS)
have made alterations in their
goals and strategies.
SAUSI plans to broaden its fo-
cus and maintain a permanent
presence on campus.
"We want to expand our inter-
ests to pay attention to all U.S. in-
tervention, not just in the Middle
East," said SAUSI Coordinating
Committee Member and Rackham
student Allison Rolls.
Rolls added that the attendance
at SAUSI meetings has declined
from a peak of 500 people at the
height of the war, to a core group
of 50 to 60 people who are "very
dedicated" to their cause.
Rolls said SAUSI would change
as a result of the war's end.
"We want to focus a lot on ed-
ucation, rather than on rallies,"
Rolls said.
This education will include fo-
rums, discussion groups, and pre-
sentations by professors that
SAUSI hopes will reach a broad
group of students, she said.
However, SAUSI will continue
to hold events to heighten aware-
ness. Last night, a candlelight vigil
was held on the Diag to mourn the
dead in the war, and a fundraiser is
planned to raise money for the vic-
tims of U.S. air attacks on Iraq.
SOS, the only campus group
that exists specifically to support
U.S. troops in the Gulf, plans to
disband after it finishes spending
remaining funds.
"SOS was formed to support the
troops serving in the Gulf War. Un-
less the cease-fire doesn't hold,
our job is done," said SOS mem-
ber and LSA Senior Reg Goeke.
With its remaining funds, SOS
plans to hold events to help the re-
turning troops. Specifically, Goeke
discussed a parade, co-sponsored
by Ann Arbor SOS, to welcome
the troops home. The group also
plans to make donations to groups
that help returning veterans get
back on their feet.
"We want to give funds to local
veterans' groups to get the care
they need, unlike 20 years ago
when they returned from Viet-
nam," Goeke said.
