Judge places permanent party
restraint on End of the World
BY MARCIA McOONALO
LIFE Staff Wnter	
End of the World partiers will
not be able to legally congregate in
the Main Street vicinity — at least
for the next few years.
Midland County Circuit Court
Judge Paul J. Clulo said
Wednesday he expects to issue a
permanent injunction within 30
days that will declare spring
post-exam parties a public
nuisance.
Clulo was assigned to the case
after Paul O'ConnelL, Isabella
County 21st Circuit Court judge,
disqualified himself because he
issued the May 19S6 End of the
World party temporary injunction. That injunction made large
gatherings in the Main Street
area illegal.
After the two-day hearing. Clulo
said Wednesday he had not determined the injunction's time span.
But he indicated the injunction
probably will be effective for three
or four years, mentioning 1991 as
a possible cut-off date.
Isabella County Prosecutor
Joseph Barberi argued in support
of the injunction, while attorney
Charles Koop — supported by the
American Civil Liberties Union —
represented two CMU students
and an alumnus who deemed the
injunction in violation of their
Constitutional rights.
Clulo said the complaining
students seemed to be more
agitated by May 1986's police line
and special "disaster area" passes
that prevented non-residents from
entering the area.
He said he was not sure
whether people knew the two
actions were separate.
The injunction simply declares
Main Street partying a public
nuisance. A city ordinance,
approved in 1985, gives police the
authority to cordon the area.
"Where is it in the Constitution
that the closing down of this party
is violating Constitutional
rights?" Clulo asked Koop during
the hearing.
"All of your witnesses who
believed they had their rights
violated had them supposedly
violated by the police line, not the
injunction. . .This court is not
going to issue cordoning with the
injunction."
Facts presented during the
hearing showed the party was a
nuisance, Clulo said. He said he
then was faced with finding an
appropriate way to handle the
nuisance and knew of no recourse
other than the injunction.
Clulo asked Koop to submit a
proposed injunction that would
satisfy Koop's Constitutional
concerns. Clulo said he will
consider Koop's suggestions before
writing the injunction's official
wording.
Koop said of Clulo's decision
that he did not want an injunction
at all but was pleased the judge is
considering his objections.
Barberi said he also was pleased
with the decision and would work
with Koop on the proposed injunc-
Governor picks Lambie,

Once under the heat lamp. (lov. James
Blanchard's choices for CMU Board of Trustees"
spots say the situation is m the cooling stage.
Blanchard reappointed Mitch Kehetian and
Gordon I-ambie to trustee seats Wednesday. Their
terms will expire Dec   M. 19114.
In the past year, the CMU Faculty Association
and Academic Senate have sent letters to
Blanchard, addressing their groups' concerns on the
governor's 19H7 appointments.
"(The letters) were unpleasant and unfortunate.**
said I-'imhie. .">.*>. of Dearborn Heights. "They can do
what they want to do. and I'll do what 1 do. I have no
feeling of vendetta   I want to get on with things."
I-ambie. assistant superintendent for personnel
and labor relations in the Taylor School District,
joined the Board in August 19S.'* to complete
resignee Kich.ird Halpert's term that expired Dec
31.
Kehetian. "i7. of Allen Park, enters his first full
eight-year stint on the Board He has served as a
trustee since February 1SIS5.
Kehetian, managing editor of the .Macomb Daily
in Mount Clemens, replaced Alfred Fortino who
resigned before his term expired
"I welcome the reappointment, and will strive to
MBIE KEHETIAN
serve in the best interest of the University."
Kehetian said Wednesday. "It doesn't do me any
good to tell the FA or A-Senate where to go."
Kehetian and I-ambie are among 19 appointees
Blanchard is expected to make to nine higher-
education governing boards in 1987. said I--tDonna
Slivfco, special assistant in the governor's personnel
office.
Blanchard's appointments, which will be
forwarded today to the Senate, are subject to
confirmation within 60 days, Slivfco said.
FA sent a letter Jan. S to the Michigan Education
Association, requesting Blanchard not to reappoint
1-ambie and Kehetian. The MEA later forwarded the
letter to the governor's office.
FA President Rd McKenna said Blanchard's
appointments were "political moves." and the
association will accept the governor's choices.
"We'd like to congratulate both Mr Kehetian and
Mr. Lambie on their reappointments," said
McKenna. professor of sociology, anthropology and
sixrial work. Wednesday.
"The action we took last yearand thisjear. were
not aimed at these two people. Instead, it was at the
leadership of the board as a whole."
Despite the reappointments. McKenna added the
FA's letter successfully conveyed its message to the
governor.

Alcohol aware
CMU program earns honor, rates with nation's best
BY BRYAN LAVIOLETTE
L if t  '.-.: .tt .'., ■, ■
CMU has one of the top five
alcohol awareness programs in
the country — a distinction worth
$1,000 to Centrals scholarship
fund
Ross Rapaport. coordinator of
the Alcohol Abuse Intervention,
and Prevention Program, received
a letter from the Inter-As.MH-iatinn
Task Force, coordinators of
National Collegiate Alcohol
Awareness Week, stating Central
has one of the top five alcohol
awareness week programs ol
United States universities
The task force is a national
coalition of students, instructors
and administrators.
Rapaport said CMU was one of
70 to 80 colleges and universities
to apply for the award.
"I found (the award) a
high honor when you
consider there were only
five schools in that eater-
gory. "
—James Hill.
vice president. Student Affj:rs
The University of Missouri in
Columbia, Colorado College,
Syracuse University and Illinois
State University were the other
award winners.
Rapaport said he was pleased to
learn Feb. 13 that CMU received
the award, but not totally
surprised. He said he does not
know        which institutions
competed.
"I thought when we put
together our report we had a good
chance," Rapaport said.
The awards will be presented at
a regular national meeting of the
Inter-Association Task Force in
Chicago, March 14-18.
The Inter-association Task
Force is a coalition of student
personnel groups like the Fraternity Executives Association,
National Association of College
and University Residence Halls,
National Orientation Directors'
Association and others
Rapaport said he and possibly
James Hill, vice president of
Student Affairs will accept the
award.
Hill said many organizations
helped make Alcohol Awareness
Week,   Oct.   20-27,   a   success.

would stick with May 1986's

of Wednesday through Saturday

"I think they should keep the

Establishing a permanent injunction against End of the World
partying won't solve party problems entirely, some local officials say.
The annual Main Street party's fate was decided Wednesday after a
two-day hearing. A permanent injunction is expected to be issued
within 30 days declaring spring post-exam parties in the area a public
nuisance.
Student Government Association President Pam Weaver said by
issuing the permanent injunction, the city actually is not dealing with
the problem They're just making it impossible for students to
congregate and party on Main Street rather than dealing with why the
students feel the need to do this, she said.
"It's a short-run solution to a long-run problem." Weaver said.
"I think no matter what, it's the last week of school and people are
just going to want to let loose."
Capt. Robert Denslow, of the Mount Pleasant Police Department,
said he is happy with the decision, but added it won't solve problems
overnight.
Party problems probably will not die down for a couple years, he
said. Students who can remember End ofthe World parties and want
them to continue will eventually graduate, he said.
Police have not decided yet whether a police line, keeping
non-residents out ofthe Main Street area, will be used this spring in

Dow pullout
or not, CMU
unlinked to
apartheid
BY BRIAN VANOCHTEN
Hfl   A<.s.M.ir.r. News F d'lor
President Arthur Ellis said
Wednesday the University's
association with apartheid is a
dead issue.
In response to criticism of
JCMlTs. alleged ties with South
'African apartheid through Dow
Chemical Company and Michigan
Molecular Institute, Ellis said all
relations with the country had
been severed.
Dow announced last week the
sale of its Mer-National drug
manufacturing plant to South
African investors.
CMU is affiliated with MMF
through the offering of an undergraduate degree in polymer
science. MMI owns Dow stock.
CMU faculty members Vernon
Schuln-I, assistant professor of
religion, and Dennis Machnik,
assistant professor of physics, said
Tuesday they considered that
association as direct University
support of apartheid
However, Ellis said CMU's
alleged apartheid ties are
non-existent.
"There's nothing more to talk
aliout," Kilis said Wednesday.
"The issue is over .and done as far
as I'm concerned.
"That's a Dow Chemical
decision, not a CMU/MMI
decision That seems to me like
that's the end of it," he added.
Ellis said the link between CMU
and Dow's presence in South
Africa should not be construed as
-support of apartheid via MMI.
Michigan law prohibits state
funded universities from investing
in corporations that have business
assets in South Africa, Ellis said.
"There was a divestiture act
passed a couple years ago that
applies to state universities. The
intent was (CMU) couldn't invest
in Ford. General Motors or any
other company," Ellis said. "We're
just not a participant because we
do not own stock (in Dowl," Ellis
said.
"(Schubel and Machnik) were
willing   to   reach   farther   (in
