WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush on Tuesday virtually
ruled out intervening in the Eastern
Airlines strike, saying “man-to-man
negotiation” is preferable to a gov
ernment-imposed settlement.
While he didn’t flatly rule out
stepping in to end the walkout, Bush
said his policy “will hold firm” de
spite pressure in some congressional
quarters to force him to act.
Fielding questions for more than
40 minutes in the White House
briefing room, he insisted that
“there isn’t malaise” in his adminis
tration because of the drawn-out
fight over confirmation of Defense
Secretary-designate John Tower.
“A lot is happening,” the presi
dent said. “Not all of it good, but a
lot is happening. . . . We’re on track.”
Bush defended his chief of staff,
saying John Sununu, the former
New Hampshire governor, knows
his way around Washington and is
doing his job well. Bush said he has
“total confidence” in Sununu.
Bush noted that Tower has
pledged not to drink a drop of licpior
if he gets the job and told his nation
ally televised news confreence,
“You’ll have 25,000 people in the
Pentagon making sure that’s true.”
The president said his backing of
Tower against Democratic opposi
tion in the Senate “isn’t iron-willed
stubbornness; it’s a question of fun
damental principle here.”
The president had spare time in
his schedule Tuesdav because in
news conference statement to “res
tate my belief that free collective bar
gaining is the best means of resolv
ing” the strike.
He exhorted Eastern manage
ment, the Machinists union and
other unions to conduct “head-on-
head, man-to-man negotiation” and
said he thought that would be “bet
ter and more lasting . . . than an im
posed government settlement, which
could cause the airline to totally shut
down.”
On other subjects during the
more than 40-minute question-and-
answer sesion, Bush said he woult
like to see Palestine Liberation Orp
nization Chairman Yasser Arafi
“speak out” against raids that hatj
been carried out by Palestinian guei
rillas against Israelis in southei
Lebanon.
Bush said he hoped these inc
dents would not jeapordize l’.S
talks with PLO representatives
said he thought that Arafat sh<
“forthrightly condemn any teno:
that might be perpetrated by thePt
estinians.
President intends to replace
immigration head, source says
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Bush administration will replace
Alan C. Nelson as head of the Immi
gration and Naturalization Service,
an administration source said Tues
day.
Attorney General Dick Thorn
burgh, who recently received a de
partment audit that criticized man
agement and operations of INS, is
searching for someone to take over
the agency, said the source, speaking
on condition of anonymity.
The source confirmed a report in
Tuesday’s editions of the Los An
geles Times that Nelson would be

1986 immigration reform law, whit!
P rovided for massive amnesty foil

INS became embroiled in anum
her of lawsuits charging that it wai
improperly making it difficult for
legal aliens to obtain legal status wr
der the new law.
The Justice Department audii

for its failure to conduct backgrount
checks on many applicants for cii

Modeling for dollars . . . Some students dress
up for their jobs — and some don’t dress at all. Northern
Arizona It. (NAD) students Jim Mahoney and Kelly Roe
Wilson make their livings posing naked for art classes.
"The simplest poses can be very dynamic to draw, like
cracking knuckles or stretching," Mahoney said. He said
that to show tension in motion he sometimes poses as if he
were hiking by extending himself up the wall. Mahoney
said he does a lot of hiking so he is able to visualize the
canyon and feel what it is like to climb. “ It’s like ...
pantomime in a way.” Mahoney said that he is the highest
paid undergraduate student worker on campus, earning
$5.30 an hour. “Physically it is very hard to do,” he said.
“These (art) students are professional. They’re not there to
collect pornography. If they’re artists, they need to know
how to draw the human figure,’’ Mahoney said. He said
there are no qualifications to be a model for the classes.
Unlike Mahoney, Wilson is new at the job. Wilson said she
felt uncomfortable the first week. “ I felt I was sweating too
much and I needed to put on some more deodorant. I’d be
up there sucking my stomach in ... but I got over that,"
Wilson said. The fact that the majority ot the class is males
does not bother Wilson. She said she would feel more
uncomfortable if the class was mostly female. "Men are
less likely to judge (my body) harshly,” she said. Wilson
said that she is not usually critical of the way students draw
her, but, "There was one guy who drew me with the biggest
butt I’ve ever seen — I felt terrible.” ■ Wendy Lude-

‘Racial slurs’ clarified ... A memorandum
clarifying under what circumstances racial slurs constitute
“tighting words" is being prepared by the Boulder City
Attorney in response to the arrest of a U. of Colorado (CU)
star football running back J.J. Flannigan. Flannigan was
arrested for third-degree assault after he allegedly hit a
woman after a fight at the Boulder Halloween celebration.
After the arrest, members of the Black Community Support
Group said they were upset that the woman was not ticketed
for yelling racial slurs at Flannigan. Flannigan said the
woman called him a "stupid nigger" during the altercation.
The police report states the woman shouted obscenities at
him. "If she called him a name, she should have been
ticketed," said Penfield Tate, one of the group founders and
a former Boulder mayor. Tate said that he was concerned
that in fights between blacks and whites in Boulder, police
were not treating racial slurs as fighting words. Under the
Boulder City Code, it is a municipal offense to use lan
guage "likely to provoke a disorderly response,” said City
Attorney Joe de Raismes. The offense is punishable by 90
days in jail, a $3,000 fine or both. The U.S. Supreme Court
has ruled that the use of fighting words is not protected by
the First Amendment, de Raismes said. Boulder Mayor
Linda Jourgensen said, "The government can’t change the
way people think. But we can make it clear that racial insults
will not be tolerated. If you provoke a fight you might get a
fist in the face, and also get a summons.” ■ Mike San-

Foodshare serves the hungry ... Last year
second year law student Katharyn Barron started Food-
share, a group formed by U. of Notre Dame students to
prevent food waste in the dining halls. “It’s one way for
students to partake in solving the hunger problem. We hear
about starvation in Ethiopia, but so much is here at our own
back door," said Sophmore Lisa Mackett, who joined
Barron and 63 other Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s students

in their efforts. Every night four students in the group pick
up the boxed leftovers, pans and foodwarmers and distri
bute enough food for 50 to 75 meals to local agencies in
South Bend, Ind. Because of high dining hall quality
standards, already prepared leftovers may not be reused.
To combat this waste, Mackett, together with Barron and
several other students, contacted Bill Hickey, director ot
University Food Services, and got the ball rolling. Ever
since their initial successful run on March 22, 1988, the
program has operated at full force, continuing even
throughout the summer. “The only problem is that some
times the people are unfamiliar with the kind ot food we’re
bringing them. Some of them have never even heard ot
linguini," she said. "We are so proud that our students are
getting involved in the mainstream, dispelling the ‘distant’
image of Notre Dame in South Bend, and working to solve
hunger one person at a time,” Mackett said. ■ Cindy

There’s no place like this school... u of
Kansas (KU) graduate students Gary Allen and Barbara
Bichelmeyer have created a college named after Dorothy
from The Wizard ofOz. At Dorothy Gale A&M (Agriculture
and Meteorology), students can enlighten themselves in
courses such as Heel-Clicking 101 and Animals in Space,
which is taught by the Toto Gale distinguished scholar.
Allen and Bichelmeyer used skills learned in the School of
Education to create a make-believe university. “It’s one way
for me to get back at people who make tun of Kansas,"
Bichelmeyer said. "I’m using something that people rip
Kansas for — all those Dorothy and Toto jokes — to let
them know that people from Kansas have a sense of humor
and can be creative.” Allen said that anyone who is
accepted to Dorothy Gale A&M becomes a graduate, and
anyone who applies is accepted. The $15 application fee
buys the student a T-shirt with a cyclone — the school’s
mascot — on it. The student also receives a course
catalog, a fake diploma and a brochure telling about the
prestigious faculty, such as the College President L. Frank
Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz, and the Wicked Witch of
the West, who is the dean ot women. “It’s not profit
motivated," Allen said. "We only charge enough to cover
our initial expenses.” “It’s a fun diversion from classes,"

Communication Department freeze ...
Besieged by a bastion ol paperwork, Communication De
partment Secretary Jackie Irving is a perfect metaphor for
the stress plaguing U. ol Southern Maine's (USM) Com
munication Department. The Communication Department
has announced a freeze on admitting new students into
their major program. "We are badly understaffed and over
worked," said Irving. "The professors all teach four classes
instead of three like the rest ot the instructors around the
university. On top of that they are expected to be the
advisers for the department, complete their Ph. D. require
ments, the publishing requirements and their community
or university requirements." Mary Jo Drewn, a com
munication student, also has many concerns over the
quality of education she receives at USM "I feel strongly
about the teachers in the department; however, it is really
hurting me that the classes are not here tor me to take," said
Drewn. The Communication Department has six full-time
professors and five part-timers. These instructors teach
529 Communication majors and they also serve 480 non
majors who are taking communications classes. ■ Frank

Graffiti inspires differing opinions ... a
wave of graffiti swept across the U. of Maryland, College
Park campus during their recent Rape Awareness Week.
Buildings on campus became bearers of anti-rape mes
sages such as "Myth: she asked for it" and “Rape is
violence against women." Although none of the organizers
ot the week's events knew who was responsible, some said
students have been quick to finger their groups as likely
perpetrators. "I’m very disturbed that people think we’ve
done it," said Lyn O’Connor, a member ot the women’s
center. "We went through an awful lot of trouble to go
through the right channels to publicize this week." Judy
Sneeringer, a Coalition lor the Prevention of Rape member
said of the graffiti, “It’s doing us more harm than good.
Now people think the whole rape issue is being brought up
by a small group of militant women when it really should be
an issue of personal safety." But some organizers said the
graffiti is an effective way ot getting their anti-rape message
across. "I support the graffiti," said campus food co-op
worker Dagmar Mika. "It’s radical, but it’s for a very worthy
cause and an extremely important issue,” he said. While
Women's Center President Jyoti Jalali said she did not
condone the graffiti, she thought the activism behind it was
exciting. "I think there’s a sense of activism about this
issue that has kind ot died since the 1960s or 1970s,” Jalali
said ■ Michael Bennett, The Diamondback,

Pop culture Southern style ... Speaking
from behind a table display of beer cans, a Willie Nelson
flag, a fold-up card of Graceland and other southern items,
Charles Wilson, U. of Mississippi associate professor of
history and southern studies, said, "I am not interested in
collecting just everything. I collect items that are tied into
the identity of the South." Wilson said he started collecting
souvenirs from the Southern region when he came to the
university. "I probably put the first poster on my wall to
