° -y~*i'r ~ ) * The Michigan Daily-Thursday, April 3, 1980-Page 3 st in ivolvem enit By LISSA OLIVER and MITCH STUART Third in a five-part series Members of the Student Alliance for Better Representation (SABRE) say they are independent thinkers. But they also say they will remain a cohesive group, even after the Michigan Student Assembly elections have come and gone. SABRE presidential candidate Jerry Kowalski ad- dressed the problem of increasing MSA influence in the University community: "The only way we can give credence to what MSA does is increase student participation." Increasing student participation can be achieved by getting student leaders together, Kowalski said. Such a coalition is a popular campaign proposal this year. Kowalski added that both he and vice- presidential candidate Tim Lee have many "contac- ts" in the Greek system, which he said would also help to increase participation. BUT SABRE Party Chairman Brad Canale added that Greeks are not the only student group represen- ted by the party. "We have a good cross-section of people running," he said. Lee said he would also strive to get a student ap- pointed to either the University's Board of Regents or the executive committee. About the Regents he ad- ded, "How can people making decisions about students keep in tune if, they don't have a student helping them, guiding them?" Agreeing with a stance taken by several other can- didates, Lee said he would try to bring a higher degree of coordination to MSA as vice-president. LEE SAID ONE area where coordination could make a big difference is MSA's role in increasing minority enrollment. "That's why that area has gone defunct, there's no coordination," he said. Stressing that SABRE focuses on student issues, Lee said, "For the first time in student election history, the issues are student issues. And that's thanks to SABRE." CANALE SAID SABRE traditionally has not been deeply involved in issues that he said have little, if any direct impact on students. He said issues like tenure and divestment should be mainly the respon- sibility of University administrators. MSA should take a firm initiative and fund many more student-oriented projects next year, most SABRE candidates agree. Kowalski said this past year MSA has rebuilt its internal workings, and next year can focus on external projects. UNOPPOSED FOR THIRD WARD COUNCIL SEAT: She idor By MAURA CARRY While City Council candidates are ac- tively soliciting votes in most corners of Ann Arbor, things are comparatively quiet - at least politically - in the Third Ward. Since he is running unopposed for a seat on council, Republican incumbent Cliff Sheldon's campaign is about as, low key as is possible - Sheldon is on vacation and will not return to Ann Art- bor until the day of the election. Instead of the door-to-door cam- paigning that's common in the other wards, Sheldon's "campaign" strategy is only to mail statements urging 0 runs quiet residents to vote in the April 7 general years ago, andf city election.

"I'm more with the Democrats - restricted growth I'm in favor of." But any challenge from Democrats in the Third Ward is probably not causing Sheldon many sleepless nights. ACCORDING TO Sheldon, his relationship with the other council members is a good one. "Ninety per cent of the time, we're all out for the same thing," he said. Sheldon added that at election time, there is obviously some antagonism between the Democrats and Republicans, but he said the council is "mostly a pretty good team that works together. Sheldon said that besides taxes, growth and development is the biggest issue in the ward right now.

For example, Republican Toni Bur- ton, running in the traditionally Democratic Second Ward, has spent less than $500 on her campaign as of the March 27 filing date for candidates' receipts and expenditures, while Democratic incumbent Earl Greene has spent over $1,500. SIMILARLY, Republican Joyce Chesbrough, running in the GOP- leaning Fifth Ward, has spent almost $1,400 so far, while the Democratic Y challenger, Thomas Bletcher, has spent less than $500.
