they really should have voiced their
concerns."
Ellison challenged the group's claims
that students had signifigant input in
developing the Code. She said the old
Statement of Students Rights and Re-
sponsibilities was a more student-based
document.
"The members of the group were
acting as paid employees of the Univer-
sity and held closed meetings through-
cut," Ellison said. "For the last Code,
nore than 2,000 students had input, and
br this one, the group says they talked
t) about 500.
"I think in many ways it is actually
Yorse than the last Code," Ellison said.
, [n terms of student rights and due
rocess issues, the old Code had a few
tings over this draft."
The .Michigan Student Assembly
pssed a resolution Tuesday night in
Which members urged the regents not to
gout the current draft.
MSA President Flint Wainess, who
4s worked closely with Vice President
or Student Affairs Maureen A. Hart-
.°rd on the draft, did not speak at the
reting other than to confirm MSA's
'solution.
Wainess told The Michigan Daily
at he does not support having a Code,
-spite his work on the current draft.
"Ifthe regents were to vote tomorrow
at they weren't going to have any
ode, I would jump for joy," Wainess
{id last night. "But that is not realistic.
he regents have said there will be a
ode, so trying to fight having a Code
Tfutile. I have been working to im-
ove the Code so that maybe it will
rotect a few more students."
Wainess said the proposed Code is
ir better than the previous one.
In a private memo to the regents,
btained by the Daily yesterday,
Vainess outlined four major changes
e would suggest. The changes include
more open process, less ambiguity in
1c violations section and removal of
ower-from the resolution coordinator
-position. In the letter, Wainess said the
ode document "is 80 percent success-
However, members of the American
ivil Liberties Union attacked the new
[raft. Citing specific objections, three
kCLU members told the regents not to
accept the new Code and to abolish the
)Id one.
Mary Rave, director of the
Nashtenaw County ACLU, said, "All
f this stress on the Code basically
comes down to 'thou shalt not break the
law.' ... In reality, the Code could be
three sentences long."

This year marks the 20th anniversary
of the fall of Saigon to Communist
forces and the pullout of American sol-
diers in Vietnam.
The first-annual Southeast Asian
American Conference, scheduled to take
place on campus this weekend, will
explore issues relating to the American
involvement in the Vietnam conflict
and focus on issues relevant to the South-
east Asian American experience in the:
United States.
"We hear so much about how we lost
Vietnam - that's the American per-
spective," said American culture Prof.
Gail Nomura. "How about the South-
east Asian perspective?"
The theme of the conference,"Where
is Home?" addresses how many Asian
Pacific Americans - specifically
Southeast Asians - are confronted
daily by this question.
Marie Ting, program associate for
the Office of Academic Multicultural
Initiatives, said it is important forpeople
to realize that each ethnic group has its
own unique experiences of immigrat-
ing to the United States.
"People lump Asian Pacific Ameri-
cans together as one group," Ting said.
"Many forget Southeast Asians. Their
experience is very different, especially
because of the war."
American culture graduate student
Nhi Lieu said the question "Where is
Home?" is valid because of the racism
that many Southeast Asians face in
America.

"Home in the United States has a
double-edged meaning a lot of times
because a lot of times you face racism
and discrimination," Lieu said.
Lieu fled from South Vietnam on a
boat to Malaysia when she was 5 years
old. After spending two years in a refu-
gee camp, Lieu came to the United
States.
"The Vietnam War is very much in
the memory of American society to-
day," she said.
The conference, which is the
University's first to focus solely on
Southeast Asians, opens tonight with a
reception and speech in Rackham Au-
ditorium.

A recently discovered protein could
be a link in the development of a new
treatment for breast cancer, says a re-
searcher examining its effects.
Paul R. Ervin Jr., president and sci-
entific director of Ann Arbor-based
Biotherapies Inc., is researching
mammastatin, which he discovered sev-
eral years ago while at the University.
Ervin said early tests indicate
mammastatin, which is produced by
normal female breast cells, is inactive
or not present in cancerous breasts.
"We have found in breast cancer pa-
tients that their levels (ofmammastatin)
are lower and they continue to decline
with the progression of the disease,"
Ervin said.
"There is also some indication that if
you use high levels of the protein in
breast cancers, that it actually causes
the cancer cells to die," said the 36-
year-old entrepreneur. "So we may ac-
tually get regression of the tumors as
well, but it's too early to tell."
Testing has only been done on human
cancer cells in a laboratory. But in Janu-
ary, animal trials are set to begin at the
University, The Detroit News reported
yesterday. Six months later, clinical trials
on breast cancer patients could begin.
"The reason we think mammastatin
will have an advantage over chemo-
therapy is that it only affects breast
cancer cells so it shouldn't have any
associated toxicity," Ervin said.
If the trials are successful,
Biotherapies could apply to the Food
and Drug Administration for approval
to test nationwide. The whole process
could take three or more years and is
estimated to cost around $4.1 million

Kevorkian retrieves car
Don't Just Use Ifs
For The
PONTIAC (AP) - Dr. Jack
Kevorkian paid a $38 towing fee yes-
terday and picked up his Renault Alli-
ance from the Oakland County Sheriff's
department.
The car was impounded last week
after the body of Patricia Cashman, of
San Marcos, Calif., was found in the car
outside the county medical examiner's
office.
Kevorkian's attorney, Geoffrey
Fieger, has said that Cashman died in
Kevorkian's presence Nov. 9. Hers was
the 26th death Kevorkian has acknowl-
edged attending since 1990.
Sheriffs Sgt. William Harvey, who
is in charge of the investigation, said
there was no longer any need to keep it.
"It was processed, and it was his,"
Harveysaid. "I sincerely wish he wouldn't
use it to drop dead bodies off. He paid his
$38 towing fee. I also advised him the car
was leaking oil like a sieve."
Michael Odette, another of
Kevorkian's attorneys, said the quick
release ofthe car may indicate the county
does not have a case against Kevorkian
in Cashman's death.
