chargingfor
Ci1- access
Students who access the University
computer systems via modem are now
being charged for that service.
The charges are being deducted from
each student's monthly computing al-
location of$11.30. Students who dial in
are charged $4.40 per month, which
allows them access to the networks,
said Ken Horning of the University's
Information Technology Division.
Since the computing allocation is in-
cluded in a student's tuition, most stu-
dents will not end up paying extra for
dial-in service.
The $4.40/month fee includes any
number of dial-in hours at the follow-
ing rates: 44 cents per hour from 5-11
p.m., 22 cents per hour from 6 a.m.-5
-'p.m., and 11 cents per hour from 11
p.m.-6 a.m. Students who exceed
their $11.30 allocation have the op-
tion of self-funding additional dial-in
hours.
"I don't think many students will be
in a position where they will run out of
money," Homing said.
No students will be denied service
for lack of funds during the month of
October, Horning said.

Energy Deptartment
offers industrial
hygienist fellowship
The Department of Energy is offer-
ing a fellowship to train industrial hy-
gienists, who monitor working condi-
tions in the department's laboratories
and other facilities.
The need for healthful conditions
in the workplace for employees has
created an unprecedented demand for
industrial hygienists who can antici-
pate, recognize, evaluate and control
environmental factors in the work-
place.
Otherprogram goals include increas-
ing the visibility of industrial hygiene
as a career, strengthening the industrial
hygiene profession, and strengthening
".ties between the Energy Department
and academia.
Appointments in the Industrial Hy-
giene Graduate Fellowship program last
for 21 months. The fellowship pays an
annual stipend of $15,600, and full tu-
ition and fees.
The program is open to U.S. citizens
who hold a baccalaureate degree and
who have not completed more than one
academic year of graduate studies.

The Alliance to Defend Affirma-
tive Action is urging students to par-
ticipate in today's campus protests
against assaults on minorities and to
show support for affirmative action
programs.
The demonstration will be one of
more than 40 taking place today on
college campuses.
Nora Salas, co-chair ofAlianza, said,
"Oct. 12 is part of a national day of
action to defend affirmative action in
all public arenas - to support justice
for all people and to support the ideals
behind affirmative action."
The Alliance to Defend Affirma-
tive Action is composed of a num-
ber of student groups including
Alianza and the Black Student
Union. The Alliance is working in
conjunction with the Four Winds
Student Movement, a national coa-
lition of student youth organiza-
tions that was formed last year in
response to California's Proposi-
tion 187 campaign.
Proposition 187 was a state referen-
dum limiting government services to

Angel Cervantes of the Four Winds
Student Movement said the National
Day of Action is a "pro-active student
movement that is launching an offen-
sive. We want to show how ready we
are to fight."
Protesters in California will target
the University of California system's
decision to eliminate a bulk of its
affirmative action programs. UCLA
students who have been on a four-day
hunger strike will resume eating to-
day.
Cervantes said that until the UC
regents overturn their decision on af-
firmative action, he and students from
UC Irvine will hold a permanent hun-
ger strike, beginning Monday.
'U' Media
Center to
open doors

By Kate Glckman
For the Daily
More of the latest in computers and
multimedia technology will go on dis-
play today at an open house for the
University's new Media Center in the
School of Education Building.
The center had been part of the com-
puting site in the Michigan Union until
this summer when it was relocated and
expanded with new equipment dedi-
cated to learning technology.
The new site has a classroom with
double monitors and CD-ROM drives
at each computer, separated by a parti-
tion from the main lab so that classes
can be held.
"The effort has been focusing on
people to people,"said Louis King, the
Information Technology Division's
manager of new media initiatives. "It's
not enough just to put machines out
there."
The center's consultants will work
one-on-one with instructors to develop
and teach special classroom activities.
The consultants also will help faculty to
incorporate computer projects into as-
signed course work.
At the University, however, Presi-
dent James J. Duderstadt reaffirmed
his commitment to affirmative action
while addressing the Michigan Stu-
dent Assembly last month. Under the
Michigan Mandate, the number .f
University students of color has in-
creased from 13.5 percent in 1988 to
about 24.2 percent of the total student
body in 1994.
Vice Provost for Academic and
Multicultural Affairs Lester Monts
said affirmative action is a "useful
tool for the University to achieve di-
versity."

Pre-trial exam for alleged
arsonist postponed again
By Will McCahili
Daily Staff Reporter
A man accused of starting a fire in a
University housing complex had his
pre-trial examination postponed yes-
terday for the second time in as many
weeks.
Dale Lipke of Oakland County was
arraigned Sept. 25 on one count of ar-
son in a dwelling house and one count
of conspiracy to commit arson in a
dwelling house for the Sept. 22 fire in
Baits housing.
At the arraignment, Lipke pleaded
not guilty to both felony charges. Each
carries a possible 20-year prison sen-
tence.
Yesterday, 14th District Court Judge
Ann Mattson agreed to Lipke's request
that the examination be moved back
two weeks, to Oct. 25.
Lipke, 23, stood before Mattson wear-
ing the green jumpsuit of Washtenaw
County jail inmates. His ankles were
shackled and connected by a metal
chain.
The accused man has been held in the
jail since the day of the arraignment, in
lieu of a $500,000 bond.
Accompanying Lipke was his new
lawyer, Randall Roberts. Roberts is the
second lawyer to defend Lipke in the
case; the first, a public defender as-
signed to the case by the state, had to
drop the case after a conflict of interest
was discovered. The former lawyer was
representing another person involved
in the case.
One reason for requesting the post-
ponement, Roberts said, was to allow
him more time to work on the case.
"I need more time to marshal the
information together," he said.
The purpose of a pre-trial examina-
tion is twofold: first, to determine if
there is probable cause to believe a
crime has been committed by someone;
and second, to determine if there is
probable cause to believe the accused
was somehow involved in the crime,
Roberts said.
Lipke was returned to jail after
yesterday's proceedings. Roberts said
there are no plans to post the half-
million-dollar bond at the moment, but
said it might be a possibility after the
next step in the legal process has been
taken.
The fire, which swept through the
first floor of Baits II Ziwet House on
North Campus, caused an estimated
$200,000 in damages.
No one was injured in the fire, which
roused Ziwet residents from their beds
just before 2 a.m. However, there was
extensive damage in Room 2101, where
the fire apparently started, including
burnt furniture and carpet.
Lipke was apprehended after a coop-
erative effort between the University's
Department of Public Safety, the Ann
Arbor Police Department and the
Washtenaw County Sheriff's Depart-
ment.
"'Huron Valley Bridge' has been
chosen from more than seven hun-
dred suggestions as the name for the
new eight-lane bridge north of the
city on US-23.
"According to Mayor William E.
Brown the new construction 'is the
largest bridge in the state west of
Detroit.'..."
