Q No matter how you say it, urination is
something that should be kept behind closed
doors, or at least indoors.
At least that's what the officers at
* laichigan State University Department of
Public Safety (DPS) are saying.
e "I think they give out a couple tickets a
night" for public urination, said MSU junior
Craig Appel.
"My roommate has been caught for peeing
in public. He went to court and got fined $50.
He was thoroughly embarrassed in front of
tie courtroom because when they said public
Wnation was the charge, everyone laughed,"
*Appel said.
MSU sophomore Tobin Yager also was
apprehended by police for what he said Staters
affectionately call "P.I.P. - Pissing in
Public."
"I spent the night in jail for it," Yager
said. "I had just come out of Dooley's, the big
bar up here, and I was taking a leak. I didn't
have any defense. So they brought me in, and
they took mug shots. I didn't get to make a
phone call until the next morning."
Yager was set free on $50 bail, and faces
trial next week on charges of disorderly
conduct.
"It's a misdemeanor. I'll have a criminal
record if I'm found guilty. I'm pleading not

"If I was in the middle of the street
whipping it around, I can see getting a ticket
for that, but it was well concealed ... It's
biological. I still do it. I just have to be a
little more careful," Yager said.
DPS officer Ronald Weesies denied that
MSU officers issued two tickets per night for
public urination.
"I would be surprised if there were 20
arrests per year," Weesies said.
"Generally when they write a citation its
under state law, and they are charged for
something like indecent exposure or
disorderly conduct," Weesies said. The
maximum penalty under state law for
indecent exposure is $500 or one year in jail.
Although University police in Ann Arbor
were unavailable for comment last night, few
University students had heard of widespread
arrests for public urination on campus.
LSA junior Richard Beame said, "I've had a
few friends who have gotten tickets, but it's
not something a lot of people have gotten'
caught for... If you get caught, you're doing it<
in a place to get caught, and you're probably
being stupid and acting like an idiot all
night."
First year LSA student Sarah Shaw said
that public urination is not appropriate.
"My opinion of urination is that it is
something you should be able to control and
something you shouldn't do in public," Shaw
said.

University and the National

'The money is used to
help women from all
over the world to
study in the United
States'
- Miriam Garber
Book Sale Publicity Chair
The money is distributed to for-
eign nationals, undergraduates, and
graduate students who want to do
research or pursue higher degrees.
"The purpose of the book sale is
to support the education of
women," said Miriam Garber, pub-
licity chair for the book sale. "The
money is used to help women from
all over the world to study in the
United States. We try our best to
help people in Ann Arbor as well as
all over the country, and AAUW
does help people all over the
world."
Money for women's education is
critical, Garber said. "Women are
traditionally underrepresented in
terms of higher education," she said.
"We basically just want to advance
the education of women world-
wide."
Many AAUW branches hold
book sales to raise funds, since read-
ing is one of the best methods of ed-
ucation, Garber said. "(The book
sale) goes with promoting what
AAUW tries to do, which is to
promote education," she said.
Garber added that the Ann Arbor
b'ook sale draws people from across
the Midwest.
For the first time, the AAUW
will use a variety of resources at the
University. There will be greater
publicity, public service announce-
ments, and ads placed in local news-
papers, Garber said.
Students who still need to use
their books but want to donate them
later can make special arrangements
by calling either Collections Chair
Gloria Hovan, 769-2686, or Garber,
930-6863.
Any donations from University
faculty, staff, or students would be
welcome, Garber said. "To put it
bluntly, if one-tenth of the students
at the University donated one book,
we would be very, very grateful.
The more used books we have, the
more we can sell."
The AAUW also works on is-
sues concerning sex discrimination
and protection of reproductive
rights.
Stony
Brook
joins
protest
by Melissa Peerless
Daily Higher Education Reporter
As the student occupation of the
City University of New York
(CUNY) system entered its 12th
day yesterday, students at the State
University of New York (SUNY)
at Stony Brook joined the protest.
The takeover of SUNY-Stony
Brook marks the 15th school held
by students protesting reforms to
New York state and city schools
proposed by Gov. Mario Cuomo.
If the state legislature accepts
the proposal, the students will face
a 67 percent tuition increase, layoffs
of more than 800 faculty, and pro-
gram cuts. The cuts will affect
CUNY more severely than SUNY.
Jan Pierce, leader of the SUNY-
Stony Brook takeover movement,
said, "We feel that we should not
have to account for the budget
deficit of the state of New York.
We're sorry that the government
has no money, but it's not our fault,
so we simply refuse to pay."
Tom Conroy, a spokesperson for
Gov. Cuomo, said, "It came as no
surprise to us that the students are
upset about this proposal. We knew
they'd be unhappy, but it's our only
choice at this point."
"Gov. Cuomo respects the stu-
dents right to use their First
Amendment rights," he added.
SUNY-Purchase faculty mem-
bers have joined the student move-
ment as well.
Albert White, a professor of
psychology at SUNY-Purchase
said, "In the teaching profession,
you occasionally encounter phenom-
enal students who make you feel
like it's all worthwhile. At SUNY-
Purchase, such students abound. It
would really be a shame if they
were unable to be educated for fi-
nancial reasons.
"We must back up our students
in their protest of an unfair policy,"
he added.
At Manhattan's CUNY-City
College, where the protests began,
student leaders have a variety of
events planned for the weekend, in-
cluding rallies, teach-ins, and cul-
tural events.
Rafael Alvarez, president of the
Day Student Government at
CUNY-City College, said, "We
want to get the support of commu-
nity members and not just students
While we have planned three st-
dent rallies, we also have a rally for
the community on the whole.

Late Wednesday, Congress ap-
proved a bill setting up an emer-
gency panel to resolve disputes and
impose a settlement in 65 days.
President Bush was expected to sign
it promptly.
Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.),
chair of the House Energy and
Commerce Committee, was a key
player in a furious burst of con-
gressional action that halted the rail
strike after one day.
Dingell wrote a letter to
President Bush last week as the na-
tion's biggest railroads and their
employees struggled to avoid a
walkout.
The strike was waged by eight
unions representing 235,000 rail
workers and was honored by three
other unions against 10 companies.
It began at 7 a.m. Wednesday.
The strike over wages, work
rules, and health care costs threat-
ened as many as a half-million non-
railroad workers.
