The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, April 1, 1980-Pane 3 INDEPENDENTS RUN AS COALITION IS: End lare party control in MSA (EDITOR'S NOTE: This week the Daily will publish a series of articles examining the political parties, independent candidates, and issues surrounding the April 8 and 9 Michigan Student Assembly General elec- tions. These articles will focus primarily on presidential and vice-presidential candidates and ballot proposals for student con- sideration.) B y LISSA OLIVER and MITCH STUART The party running the largest slat of candidates in the Michigan St jdent Assembly elections is the same{ ne that advocates the abolition of tpe current system in which large parti s dominate the Assembly's membersKip. The Independent Stu ents (IS) party, established this year, is a party that isn't - at'least according to party chairman Mark Lazare, who said, "The only reason we decided to run as a coalition is we all do have one thing in commyon. We want to break up the party sysem." AS presidential candidate Bob Redko added that the group is "using the ..ystem to tear the system apart." .t ACCORDING TO Lazare, the group is not a party in the traditional sense. "We decided not to take a stance on any issues, except preferential voting. Basically, we want to give the indepen- dent students a voice. (Under the current system) the students aren't being represented, the two parties (which currently make up the majority of the Assembly's membership) are being represented and are bickering back and forth." IS members are opposed to preferen- tial voting because most feel such a voting system discriminates against independent candidates. A referendum on this year's ballot is intended to measure voter preferences on whether the system should be abandoned. According to vice-presidential can- didate Peggy O'Dell, IS believes MSA should be concerned with both campus issues and those with a wider impact. "Lobbying on a state or federal level is very important," she said, "but it shouldn't take away from the campus issues." O'DELL SAID each IS candidate represents a different segment of the student population, and thus will have a better chance of representing their con- stituents than some other party can- didates who she said are drawn from a smaller cross-section of students.. Redko said, "We're going-to mobilize a large portion of the student body that has not been mobilized before." Although there are only 11 available representative seats for LSA, IS is run- ning 18 candidates. Redko said IS cour- ts some candidates who had tried to run with another party, but had been "rejected"' because the party already had a full slate. Redko said one of the major faults with the current system is, "When people aren't elected, they're closed out of MSA." Redko said he would solve this problem by retaining f a list of can- didates and inviting those who were not elected to participate in committees or in some other way.

The proceeds of this concert, according to committee officials, will go to national hunger groups as well as local organizations such as Ann Arbor Catholic Social Servces, the Ann Arbor Hunger Coalition, and the Peace Neigborhood Center, which provides afterschool recreation and food for the disadvantaged Ann Arbor children. Kralovec said that the dates chosen for World Hunger Week were selected on the basis that the Chapins would be available. "But it couldn't have turned out any better," she said., "what with the religious holidays coming up." a t - r t C l 1 f g ~ Brinkerhof (Continued from Page 1) questioned whether Adams, who has overseen the development of the project since last term, had fully examined all funding possibilities. Initially, Canale and Adams asked Brinkerhoff to supply up to $15,000 in University matching funds to renovate the ,glassed-in juncture of Angell, Mason, and Haven halls. BRINKERHOFF agreed to this ex- penditure on the condition that MSA approve its portion of exactly one-half of the projected cost. (The budget for the project would be $20,000, but there would be a ceiling of-"$30,000, Canale said.) Last week, the Assembly declined to commit funds to the project, but did resolve to support an unspecified degree of renovation for the area. No Fishbowl funds Brinkerhoff said his refusal to fund more than 50 per cent of the project was based dn the fact that any renovation would help support student program ming in the Fishbowl, which he said would make student funding ap- propriate. 'The Assembly may be asked to vote on the proposal next week, Adams said. CANALE, commenting on the heated discussion that took place on the Fish- bowl issue at last week's MSA meeting, said, "We have to limit the arguments to the potential of the project and the potential for the growth of MSA." Adams said he would go to the student architect coordinating the Fishbowl design for more data to present to MSA. 5 1 Adams said he will not abandon the plan until he has "put up the biggest fight possible."
