j ' The Michigan Daily - - Thursday, October 12, 1995 - 3A Campus protest to support inonty issues TrD now 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. University researcher dies University researcher Andrea Foote, a leading expert in the area of health promotion in the workplace, died from Krukenberg's syndrome, a form ofcan- cer, Oct. 6.

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 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 " We want to show how we are readyr to fight" - Angel Cervantes Four Winds Student Movement member illegal immigrants. 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 mnnEd. Bldg. 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."

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.'..."
