1 ust a \meek after an anti-Israel
divestment resolution was
soundly defeated by the
University of Michigan student gov-
ernment, students activists and lead-
ers of the anti-divestment effort were
elected to fill the top two posts of
the University's student government
for the 2005-2006 school year.
Jesse Levine, a 2I-year-old junior
from Brookville, N.Y., who is study-
ing English and
political science,
was elected presi-
dent of the
Michigan Student
Assembly (MSA) as
the head of the
Students 4
Michigan slate.
This slate won all

sophomore Andrew
Yahkind of West
Bloomfield, also
part of the Students
Yahkind
4 Michigan, will
serve as the LSA
Student
Government (LSA-SG) president.
Levine and Yahkind were criticized
by the Maize Rage Party campaign
director, who told the Michigan
Daily newspaper editorial board that

are "white and Jewish." The Maize
Rage's candidates were all white and

The Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) on Standard Federal Bank's Home Equity Lines of Credit are tied to Prime. Prime is the highest Prime Rate as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Well SUeet
Journal on the last publishing day of the calendar month immediately preceding the billing cycle. The margin tied to Prime varies and depends on the approved credit line amount and combined loan-to-value.
APRs disclosed above assume a combined loan-to-value of 80% or less. On February 28, 2005, Prime was 5.50% and the APR on Standard Federal Bank's Home Equity Line of Credit products varied between
4.75% and 8.50%. Prime is a variable rate; as it changes, the APR on your account will change. The maximum APR is 21 %. A balloon payment will result at the end of the ten-year draw period. The Home Equity
Lines are limited to owner-occupied, 1-4 family principal residences and are subject to no less than a second lien position on your property. You must carry insurance on the property that secures this loan. Flood
insurance required if necessary. There is a S50 annual fee after the first year unless you are a member of Credit Exclusives. Consult your tax advisor concerning the deductibility of interest. Closing costs in,
paid by Standard Federal Bank are limited to appraisal, title insurance, flood certification and recording fees. Any additional fees or conditions imposed by the city, state or county that the subject property
MEIER
is located in will be the borrower's responsibility. The APRs are subject to change without notice. Member FDIC. ©2005 Standard Federal Bank NA
