Since 1890 Vol. Cl, No. 105 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Wednesday, March 6, 1991 Cyg 1 The M icchiga DilU~y Peace orps 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, See CORPS, Page 2 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.

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 See MSA, Page 2 *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.
