The Michigan Daily-Saturday, March 31, 1979--Page 5 I Daily Photo by PAM MARKS A sure bet Entertainer Gamble Rogers, singer, songwriter and raeconteur is appearing at the Ark this weekend, and is shown here during his performance last night. Rogers, who made a sensational appearance at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival in early January, is a wry and incisive commentator on Public Radio's "All Things Considered".Performances will be both tonight and, Sunday, and doors will be opening at eight thirty. YSA aims to educate through social chan ge (Continued from Page 1) "We feel that every issue affects students because we're all part of the same society," Warren said. The ten points YSA members em- phasize are: " funding student needs, not apartheid; w defending women's rights; " supporting free 24-hour child care; t " supporting the boycotts of Cam- pbell's, Libby's and Nestles-products; defending affirmative action; * supporting gay and lesbian rights; * opposing nuclear power, nuclear weapons; * keeping the FBI and CIA off campus; * supporting international student solidarity; and *,demanding worker-student-faculty control. Graduate student Denis Hoppe, YSA vice presidential candidate said, "Our conception of MSA is more to provide a forum for groups that want to organize." He said in the past MSA should have worked to build a divest- ment movement, and sought support for a day care center. The group also said students shouldn't pay a mandatory assessment, but MSA has no other viable form of funding. Warren said the University should provide funds to run student governemtn. ANOTHER TOPIC the candidates emphasize is the protection of women on campus. Warren advocates a; women's defense guard made up of women. He said one was recently ini- stituted at Michigan State University. They also said the University should pay more attention to courses such as those in the women's studies program and those aimed at Africans, Chicanos, native Americans, and Asian Americans. "We would try to make the Univer- sity a more welcome place for students, and try to use MSA and its resources to make it better for minority students," Warren said. YSA MEMBERS said they support quotas for admissions, and also faculty positions. Although the candidates said many of their issue positions are similar to those of the People's Action Coalition (PAC), they are somewhat more to the left of some PAC members' positions. "We're running as socialists," Warred said. "We don't want to get elected under some other name and then say, 'Surprise - we're socialists.' We want people to know that these are the things, socialists stand for. People, then begin to get a picture of what socialism is about." YSA MEMBERS also said that as Assembly members they would bring interest groups to meetings for discussion on the issues they are con- cerned with, and then push MSA to pour special projects resources into these groups and activities. They said they would see to it that MSA not only passed resolutions, but took action on them. "We would take a more active role - beyond just endor- sing issues," Hoppe said. "There is too much busy-work that goes on in MSA meetings," he added. "We feel MSA should become more of a forum for social change." Warren added, "Students do have power, and we're trying to educate them about it." . -SPECIAL .1.).
