The Michigan Daily -Monday, March 25, 1991 - Page 3 Woman sexually assaulted in home I ,By Tami Pollak *aily Crime Reporter An Ann Arbor woman was sexu- ally assaulted in her home early Sat- urday morning. According to Ann Arbor police reports, at about 10 a.m. Saturday, a man raped his ex-girlfriend after she let him into her apartment on the 1400 block of Hubbard. The man fell asleep after the inci- dent and he left after he awoke, the report said. The woman was treated and re- leased at the University Hospital emergency room following the inci- dent, reports said. Investigations are still continu- ing. Other crimes occurring in Ann Arbor include: n Ann Arbor police were on hand * fbr a Nazi demonstration at Swift Run Park Saturday afternoon. The police were notified of the event in advance, and met a van car- rying 30 demonstrators at Arborland, reports said. After being escorted to the park, the 30 demonstrators then spoke for about 45 minutes, and were re-es- corted out of town. Reports said there were no *counterprotests. - In further Neo-Nazi news, Nazi graffiti was found on an entrance to Mary Markley Hall last week. . According to reports from the University's Department of Safety and Security (DPSS), the graffiti was found scrawled on an entrance door. The graffiti must have been washed off fairly quickly however, since no Markley resident contacted confirmed the vandalism. Building Director Mary Hummel was unavailable for com- ment last night. JOBS Vontinued from page 1 Administration, also described the rpcession as "of a shallow variety. " It is less deep than the recession of the early 1980s - the most severe of the eight since World War II- he said He explained students from technical backgrounds - such as engineering and accounting - will lie better off than LSA graduates. He also said the Midwestern and Southeastern economic regions are fairing better than New England and California. McCracken attributed the reces- sion to tight Federal Reserve mone- tary policies in 1990 and the Persian Gulf crisis. This crisis caused a de- cline in "consumer confidence" - a measure correlated to consumer spending, hurting an already vulner- able economy. Students at the Business school are more anxious than usual, said Ann Arbor police arrested a man for armed assault at about 2 a.m. Friday morning on the 300 block of Maynard. The man was arrested after an of- ficer saw him involved in a confrontation. The incident is under investiga- tion, reports said. The "30 minutes or free" rule took on new meaning this weekend when a pizza delivery person was at- tacked by two unknown suspects af- ter making a delivery. Friday morning, just after 1 a.m. two unknown attackers approached the departing pizza person from op- posite directions. One suspect then pushed the de- livery person to the ground while the other went through the victim's pockets. The victim was able to kick one of the suspects in the face and told police that the attacker probably suffered some kind of facial injury. The suspects were last seen flee- ing southbound away from the apartment complex, Ann Arbor po- lice reports said. A student was hit by a car when crossing the street in front of University Hospitals early last Tuesday evening. LSA junior Paul Levine said he was out for a run at about 5 p.m. Tuesday afternoon when, while crossing carefully in a cross walk, he was hit by a car. "People are always complaining about students crossing the street, but they really have no regard for pedestrians," Levine said. Levine suffered a broken fibula and head lacerations as a result of the incident. He intends to press charges. Assistant Director of Recruiting Sandy Grabczynski. However, she did not believe any more students than usual would graduate without a solidified job. "What recruiters have always said about Michigan MBAs and BBAs is that they're very hard- working, down to earth, feet on the ground, roll up the sleeves type worker." More students do not appear to be turning to University graduate schools in order to solve job search difficulties even though both the Business School and Rackham have received more applications than they did last year at the same time. Natalie Grinblatt, assistant di- rector of Admissions and Student Services at the Business School, said the increase was consistent with an- nual trends. Rackham Assistant Dean Homer Rose attributed his school's increase to a growing sense that the job market will open up for Ph.D.s within the next few years. 4,000 students receive honors by Andrew Levy Daily Staff Reporter A nearly-full Hill Auditorium was host yesterday to the 68th An- nual Honors Convocation, paying tribute to the academic achievements of the University's top-ranked stu- dents. Honorees included James B. An- gell Scholars, those with a perfect academic record for two or more terms; Class Honors recipients, with at least a 3.5 GPA for 1990; and winners of William J. Branstrom Prizes, first-year students in the top 5 percent of their class. Following the presentation of the honorees, remarks were made on be- half of the students, the faculty, and the regents. Michel Oksenberg, a University political science prof. and the direcr tor of the Center for Chinese Stud- ies, lightened the mood of the cere- mony with his comments. "If universities vied in academic competition as they do in athletics ... there is no question in my mind that (the students) here would lead us ... to the Final Four," Oksenberg said. University President James Dud- erstadt, who spoke on behalf of the University's Board of Regents, said- "In a sense, our pleasure and pride is not only for your individual achievements,'but as well for your collective role in reflecting and sus- taining the values and goals upon which this University is based."

Ann Arbor gardening gr oup THE LIST What's happening in Ann Arbor today cultivates by Lynne Cohn Daily City Reporter Ann Arbor may not be a rural community, but Project Grow mem- bers are making sure Ann Arbor doesn't lose the "Arbor." Project Grow, founded in 1971 and based in the Leslie Science Center on Traver Rd., is a non-profit organization that provides Ann Arbor residents with an opportu- nity to learn about and experience gardening. "S hortly after I was elected in April 1971, one of my constituents, Susan Drake, called to ask for help because she and some of her neigh- bors wanted room for a victory gar- den," said Councilmember Nelson Meade (D-Third Ward). A gardener for 18 years, Meade recalls Project Grow's first years fondly. "Susan had a lot of visions of the role that community gardens could have where a variety of people - old, young, Black, white - could get together and break down the racial barriers that sometimes pre- vent people from getting ac- quainted," he said. This year Project Grow cele- brates its 20th anniversary. It has implemented gardening programs in Ann Arbor Public Schools and other community centers, and it provides workshops for interested gardeners. University students have an op- portunity to work with Project Grow through Project Community, a sociology course that awards GULF Continued from page 1 destroyed during the seven-month Iraqi occupation. Other American soldiers are occupying part of southern Iraq, where they are keeping an eye on Saddam's Hussein's troops. Powell reportedly said last week in Washington that U.S. forces will stay on to keep the pressure on Saddam "for some months to come." In recent newspaper reports, Powell was quoted as saying American forces would stay in Iraq until the Arab nations in the re- gion, including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, establish a regional secu- rity force. But Schwarzkopf said yesterday he had discussed the matter with Powell and that "there probably was a slight misstatement." "We're prepared to stay in Iraq as long as we have to, but, of course, we're not expecting to stay there very long," he told reporters after an awards ceremony honoring French officers in the allied forces.

Project Grow also hosts a Composting Club and a Beekeeping Club for area residents. Fifth Ward Democratic candi- date Robert Eckstein said Project Grow has broadened its scope to in- clude more than just giving garden space. "I think Project Grow is typical of Ann Arbor," he said. "It repre- sents the qualities and values people have here - wanting to have organi- cally-grown food and provide their ganized gardening projects for chil- dren. She became program director in 1985. Eckstein said Project Grow is not unique to this community. "However, Project Grow in Ann Arbor is one of the few to continue as a non-profit organization." Eckstein said residents in most city areas who are interested in gar- dening enjoy "being part of a com- munity group learning from other individuals how to grow food or- ganically." effects of Gulf War by Garrick Wang Daily Staff Reporter There has been much speculation about the Persian Gulf War's effect on the American electorate, but a University study is planning to put its finger on the pulse of the American public. The National Elections Studies (NES), a unit of the University's Institute for Social Research (ISIS), will conduct a nationwide survey this summer to study public opinion related to the war in the Persian Gulf. "The aim here is to determine the long term consequences of the w4,' Political Science Prof. Donald Kind~r said. "We would also like to know -if President Bush will be able to su9- tain the remarkable popularity he is enjoying after the war." Political Science Prof. and head .f the study, Steven Rosenstone sai, "Understanding the public's asses. ment of the war is a weigh station "i the road to the more important objet- tive of understanding how war shapes the future course of national polk tics." He added that the study will also determine if the partisan debate before the war will shift public sip port toward the Republicans. The study - beginning this JU4O and consisting of telephone inte- views - will be administered to 2,000 eligible voters who best repre sent the American population. Thy respondents participated in an in-pep- son NES survey shortly after -tht 1990 elections. They were asked tp give their opinions about the war, American foreign policy, the President, and the two major politic- cal parties. "We would like to determine if the same people changed their view about American foreign policy, the President, and political parties from last fall," Kinder said. Rosenstone said starting the study in June will allow the sample popu- lation time to consider the informa. tion and hear opposing views aboul the war. _ Kinder said the interviews will be conducted from ISR and will tal less than an hour to complete. Eadh respondent will receive a modest gift and a respondent report about the study. He added that NES is making id- quiries about receiving research funds from private foundations to help dc Meetings Enact, weekly meeting.
