Police officers do not
always have to have a
warrant to enter a home
by MATTHEW BACH
Police officers are investigating .i complaint of a loud
party
When they go to knock on tlull ont door of the residence
containing the party, officers see
people snorting cocaine inside.
What should the law enforcers
do next.' Wait for a search
warrant'.' (Jo right in.' Ask the
suspects to come out?
This dilemma and many
others like it are situations
police officers frequently face
concerning search warrants.
"You're approaching a door
you sec two people snorting
cocaine, you're witnessing a
felony so — boom! — you kick
the door and go in," Isabella
County SherifT Rarry DeLau
said.

"In all times it's better to get a

Students. representing
CMl"s American Indian, black
and Hi-panic minorities Friday
told Hoard of Trustees memUrs
that it's tune to act. not talk
At the Hoard's open forum,
approximately aO minority
students gathered m the Presidents Conference Room in Hovee
University Center to present a
li-t of five "problem points'
concerning minorities and their
lelationship to President
F.dwatd Ii. .Jakubauskas' 12
priorities tor the University
Fric Farmer. Flint junior,
exprt—ed the need for action to
addre-s the concerns of minorities at ("Ml".
"We're not trying to rush you.
hut you've had a long time to
gather your facts. We realize this
kind of change takes time and
we're not asking for it tomorrow
or next week -- but very soon."
The five problem points the
students identified as needing
attention are'
• A place of congregation at
which minority students can use
to socialize and enjoy music of
their choice
• Minority aids to offer
students the chance to consult
with peers of their own heritage
to combat their unique problems.
• Cultural education that
appears in I he form of University
Program courses as well as that
of library materials about
Mart in Luther King Jr., Malcolm
X and Cesar Chavez.
• A full-time minority
recruiter to visit high schools in
holies of encouraging more
minorities to attend CMU.
• Kxpansion of the Office of
Minority Alfairs personnel and
the direction of fund allocations
to minority groups through that
office rather than the Student
liudget Allocations Committee.
Tyrone Williams. Detroit
senior, said some of the points
could take shape immediately.
"It we don't see some kind of
action we'll have to pursue other
means." Williams told the Hoard.

by BRIAN D. BELL
WASHINC.TON,     DC       —
More than :J0 CMU students
loined the .illO.OOO-plus
pro-choice advocates marching
for reproductive rights in
Washington. D.C . Sunday at the
"Mobilise For Women's Rights"
rally.
The students had positive
things to s.iv alxiut their experiences.
"It was nice to see that the
men were so active in the
women's movement." Christine
Webster. Florida senior, said.-
"The  rally  wasn't just   for the
right  to have an abortion —  it
was about human rights."
University Democrats
Secretary Matt I.arsen liked the
upbeat atnio-phcre of the group
"I was very impressed with the
enthusiasm of everyone there —
although there were very few
anti-choice (marchers i, they
were not harrassed by-
pro-choice, even though they
were harrassing us." 1-arsen. St.
Johns senior, said.
"If we were to go to an
anti-choice rally and hold up
pro-choice signs they would go
nuts and attack us"
Pro-choice marchers held
signs with  sayings like "Bush-'
(juay'e two reasons for birth
control" and "A sperm is not
sacred." while pro-life demonstrators chanted "Choice is a lie
ISahies never choo-e to die."
The pro-lifers were sectioned
off by State Park Police. Many
shook baby rattles and some
were dressed like the (Jnm
Reaper, while nearby pro choice
advocates listened to speakers
The 4''.- hour rally took place
at the Lincoln Memorial. A
monument to "all the women
who didn't have a choice" was
dedicated near the Washington
Monument.
Molly Yard, president of the
National     Organization     for
Women, talked about the last
woman to die of an illegal
abort ion
"She ua- a young girl from
Indiana who would have just
turned IS." Yard said. "She got
pregnant and she felt couldn't
talk to her parents because she
ua- afraid they would be
di-gusted — so she gave hersell
a -elf-inflicted al*>rtion."
She got sick and was rushed to
hospital, hut refused to tell
anyone that she had tried to
abort the fetus. Her doctor
prescribed an antibiotic, sent her
home and she died shortly after.
Yard said.
