While the Wolverines prepare to crush the Buckeyes, University students find themselves in a similar competition with their counterparts in Columbus. The 14th annual Michigan vs. Ohio State blood battle, sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega sorority and the American Red Cross, began yesterday at East Quad and will continue at various sites around campus through Nov. 17. "Every year we collect more than them," said co-coordinator Gretchen Stoor, an Education senior. "It's usu- ally done on a percentage basis, but this year it's a straight campus-versus-cam- pus competition." Stoor said the goal is for each school to collect 2,300 pints of blood. "Today's turnout's been pretty good and we're optimistic about the rest of the week," said co-coordinator Dawn Osterholt, an LSA junior. "I'm giving blood because it just seems like a good thing to do," said LSA sophomore Jenny Preston: "They need blood and I have it, so why not?" Other students began just as excited, but were less enthusiastic afterward. "Ev- erything was fine until I started to feel Blood Battle Sun. Nov. 5, East Quad, noon-6 p.m. Mon.

"It's important to help people, and this is something I felt I should do, but this doesn't help me wanting to do this again." Despite the occasional donor feeling faint, the coordinators said no major dangers exist when giving blood. "There are no health risks, you can't get any disease," Osterholt said. "All the fluid you lose is regained in one hour." Donors are encouraged to eat a good meal before giving blood. Stoor added, "Everything is new and sterile every time, and the nurses are very well trained." Appointments are accepted but not required to donate blood. Osterholt said the entire process takes approximately one hour and requirements include be- ing 17 years old, weighing 110 pounds and having good health.

Pro Bono Students America/Gieat Lakes, anew national organizationddi- cated to connecting law school studnts with valuable public-issue internships, introduced itself to campus at a recepion Friday. "It's the domestic, legal version ofthe Peace Corps for students in law school," said Director Rob Precht, a former gub- lic defender for New York City. The program, sponsored by the Ford Motor Co., involves a computer dta- base ofnationwide volunteer and inem positions available for law school stu- dents to access. Based on students *ef- erences and experience, the computer provides a list of potential employ ers. Any compensation is worked out be- tween students and employers. Al Guskins, a student leader ofe the Peace Corps movement 35 years ago and current chancellor of Antioch Vni- versity in Ohio, was the guest of hnor at the reception. "Many people who entered the Pace Corps said, 'We learn much more han we gave.' Students should serve and apply what they learn," Guskins said. "The purpose is to create a network that can be accessed nationally. We're responsible for gathering information on Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylva- nia," said regional director Susan Guindi. Some students said they felt the progam would make it easier for tem to pursue public service. "In the first and second year, it's ard to get experience. They're making t as easy as possible to get involve by doing a lot of the legwork," said fjrst- year Law student Kevin Bringueh' "The idea is to get us interested eerly on by alleviating the roadblocks,"said first-year Law student Jason Sanders. Students may access the progam through the Law School's Offic of Public Service. Guskins shared many inspiring thoughts about his experience wit) the Peace Corps. "I was 24 when I started teaching in Thailand. It was my first real job. It changes the way you think about the world," he said. Precht said he hopes the program will be just as motivating and suceess- ful as the Peace Corps. Four law schools in the region are participating ii the program and more are expected tojoin, he said. "I researched Kennedy's speech and found that Al Guskins and other stu- dents made it (Peace Corps) happen. I want to put University students bak in touch with that tradition," Precht aid. Latino leaders encourage student activism By Katie Wang Daily Staff Reporter "Students and youths are finding themselves at the forefront of an inter- section between a lot of love, hope and the Contract 'on' America and right- wing mobilization," said Latino activ- ist Angel Cervantes. Campus activism was the theme of a focusedpanel discussion Friday, as three prominent Latino leaders shared their past experiences and encouraged stu- dents to remain active on campus is- sues. The three activists, Roberto Rodriguez, Vivian Brady and Cervantes were involved in different movements throughout three different decades. "The issues of 1989 are the same issues that we are struggling for now," Brady said. "The question of our pres- ence at universities is being raised again." Brady was an undergraduate at the City University of New York's Hunter campus when she and other students took over buildings and shut down the campus for one week to protest tuition increases and other administration poli- cies. "The issues of 1989 are the same issues that we are struggling for nOW, The question of our presence at universities is Obeing raised avanBad - Vivian Brady Latino activist "We were treated as if we should be grateful to receive an education at all, and we shouldn't demand anything," Brady said. Overall, Brady said the strike was successful due to a concentrated effort of different minority organizations on campus. She encouraged campus groups to form a dialogue with each other and to "be supportive of each other." Cervantes also emphasized the im- portance of building coalitions: "Coali- tion politics is the key to the future," he said. Cervantes, a graduate student at Claremont State and founder of the Four Winds Student Movement - which organized the Oct. 12 National Day of Action to defend Affirmative Action - recently ended a 16-day hunger strike in protest of the Univer- sity of California regents' July deci- sion to cut affirmative action programs. On Nov. 16, the UC regents are sched- uled to revote on the issue, Cervantes said. "I emphasize this struggle is not a new one," Cervantes said. "We are not inventing something new, we are con- itinuing a struggle." Cervantes also stressed the impor- tance of building on the accomplish- ments of previous activists. "We must not tear down everything we have built. We must strengthen them," he said. Panelists also addressed the issue of male supremacy within organiza- tions. In reference to the Oct. 16 Mil- lion Man March, Brady said, "It is possible to talk about male supremacy and to deal with the issues at the same time." "Male supremacy is not an issue for the back burner," she said. Audience member Renee Moreno said she was impressed by Brady's view- point on gender issues. "(Brady) really gave voice to con- cerns I have as a woman," Moreno said. "She's given me a way to approach issues of gender." Rodriguez, one of the principal or- ganizers in New York City activism, concluded the discussion by advising campus leaders who were concerned about drawing a larger number of par- ticipants, to "recognize your limits. There's going to be a struggle tomor- row." The panel discussion, held in the LSA Building, was sponsored by the Office of Academic and Multicultural Initia- tives in conjunction with the Latino/a Task Force. Pickets clash with guards, police ROSEVILLE (AP) - Security guards and police clashed with several hundred pickets early yesterday during a rally at a distribution center of the strike-bound Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News. Police used pepper spray to disperse the pickets, who smashed a police car window and threw rocks. Pickets gathered in Roseville, 12miles northeast of Detroit, about 2 a.m. in what has become weekly rallies at various distribution centers. The pickets have been trying to block carriers picking up yesterday's combined editions. About 2:30 a.m., about a dozen of guards in riotgearmoved in on about 50 pickets milling near a construction site next to the center. The guards pushed the pickets away with their shields and sticks. The pickets threw rocks, angrily taunted the guards and overturned a portable street light at the distribution center. The police quickly moved in and took one picket into custody, while the rest of the pickets fled from that area. John Anthony, director of security at Detroit Newspapers, said he has re- ceived no reports of clashes between pickets and guards. "I know of no such incidents," he said in a telephone interview. Anthony said some windows were broken when pickets threw rocks at the center building. In front of the center, hundreds of pickets shouted, "No scabs! Union!" facing off the guards and police stand- ing in line on the other side. About half an hour later, the police again moved in, using pepper spray, making at least one more arrest. Roseville Police Officer Keith Waller, answering the phone at head- quarters, confirmed that pepper spray was used on the demonstrators but could not confirm any injuries or arrests. No ambulance service had been re- quested as of about 4:15 a.m., he said. Reinforcement was sent into the area, including officers from neighboring towns, and the disturbance was brought under control by 4 a.m., he said. The six unions representing about 2,500 workers at the Free Press, News and Detroit Newspapers, which over- sees business operations at the two pa- pers, walked out July 13. They were unable to reach an agree- ment with management on a new con- tract because of many issues, including wages and benefits. Save a Life! Beat OSU! Give Blood Today!
