LSA-SG to honor 16 student
war reservists with plaques
0
by Rachel Freedman
University students who served
in the Persian Gulf War will be
met with praise and honor from the
LSA Student Government (LSA-
SG) when they return from the
Middle East. LSA-SG will send
letters and plaques to the homes of
all students who fought in the Gulf
War.
The letters and the plaques
honor the reservists for their ser-
vice and dedication and express
the University's gratitude.
"LSA Student Government has
been thinking about the idea for a
while," LSA Student Government
President Joe Sciarotta said, "At
first, we thought of sending care
packages. But, the process became
too difficult and we encountered
too much bureaucratic red tape try-
ing to send them."
Sciarotta said the letters were
sent to the homes of 16 reservists
this week, along with a cover let!
ter from the University. The
plaques will be sent in a week or
two.
As of this week, none of the
sixteen reservists have returned
home, he said.

STANFORD
Continued from page 1
$45,250 was spent for a
weekend trip to Lake Tahoe for the
university Board of Trustees and
their spouses.
University officials claim that
these expenditures are permitted
because the government's grants
may be used to support "general
administration in support of
research."
However, the university has al-
ready repayed the government
more than $500,000, and has
agreed to reimburse the
government for other expenditures
deemed inappropriate.
Frank Mankiewicz, the attorney
representing Stanford, said, "There
is no factual evidence of the
misuse of funds."
"We payed the government
back for funds in question, and if
need be, we will pay them more,
but we maintain that we acted
according to research grant
standards," he said in a press
statement.
Stanford is also under investiga-
tion for failing to be audited since
1981. Private universities are sup-
posed to be audited every two
years.
"Stanford is changing its
accounting procedures," said
Mankiewicz. "Our old method was
not fool-proof. We made some
mistakes. Our new method won't
be perfect either but maybe it will
reduce the number of errors."
Committee members were un-
available for comment.

that the allied victory over Iraq
opened "a window of opportunity,"
to move ahead on the basis of two
U.N. Security Council resolutions
adopted at the end of the 1967 and
1973 Mideast wars.
The resolutions imply the ac-
ceptance of Israel by other
Mideast nations and call for with-
drawal from occupied territories.
"There is a better chance than
there was before of real reconcilia-
tion, real peace," Baker said after
seven hours of talks with Syrian
President Hafez Assad that ended
past midnight.
.Baker acknowledged that none of
eight Arab leaders he had met with
over six days was ready to make
peace with Israel.
The eight ranged from King Fahd
of Saudi Arabia to Assad and
included representatives of Kuwait,
Oman, the United Arab Emirates,
Bahrain, Lebanon and Qatar.
Baker also met with Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo,
with a group of Palestinian Arabs in
Jerusalem who said they were
authorized by Yasser Arafat, Chair of
the Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation, to meet with him and with
Lebanese Foreign Minister Fares
Bouez in Damascus.

PRIVATIZING
Continued from page 1
Privatization Council and a former
Executive Vice-President of the
Michigan State Chamber of Com-
merce, defined privatization as the
"alternative delivery of public ser-
vice." He used a number of exam-
ples to illustrate the wastefulness
of public services and the financial
benefits of privatization.
The Michigan State Supreme
Court, for example, employed 85
workers to handle its transcripts. A
private company offered to take
over the job for no money except
10 percent of the costs it could cut.
$100 million was saved, Mills
said.
Mills also challenged critics of
privatization. For example, in re-
gard to concerns that privatizing
public services would lead to cor-
ruption, he said, "By competitive
bidding and regular reporting (of
the performance of the contractor),
it would be much harder to give
(the contract) to a good old boy"
who didn't deserve it.
DeGiuseppe, who graduated
from Michigan last December with
a degree in economics, focused on
the benefits of privatization of Ann
Arbor, specifically in waste pickup
and disposal, and parking
structures.
He said Ann Arbor projected a
$1.7 million deficit for garbage
pickup even before the defeat of a
plan to charge residents a dollar
for every bag of trash collected.
To solve the problem he sug-
gested loadshedding, a technique
used in Traverse City.
DeGiuseppe said he was not
criticizing public employees, but
thought they should not be exempt
from competition. "Let public em-
ployees bid along with private
companies," he said.
