OPPOSE MAJOR PAR T Y DOMINA TION Small parties seek MSA seats The Michigan Daily-Friday, April 4, 1980-Page 3 By LISSA OLIVER and MITCH StUART Fourth in a five-part series Members of large parties aren't the only people who will be vying for seats on the Michigan Student Assembly in the April 8 and 9 elections. Several smaller parties have also sprung into existence, and although members hope to enjoy many of the advantages of running on a slate rather than as independents, some- also say they are opposed to the current large-party domination of MSA. TOM GOOD, CANDIDATE for an LSA representative seat and president of the Alliance for Responsible Management (ARM), feels that "MSA has ost touch with the average student." He says the way to get students interested and involved with MSA is to reassess the assembly's priorities and narrow its scope. Good cited lobbying missions to Washington as being '"outside the bounds of MSA (and) an irresponsible use of resources." Another new small party this year is GATOR: Great Alternative to Outmoded Representation. Presidential candidate and party spokesman Bob Jobe said, "The biggest reason that we formed as a party is it's the only way we could compete with the big parties." GATOR has three members. GATOR STUDENT POLICY advisor and campaign manager Rod Falls said his party is dissatisfied with current MSA efforts to sponsor student projects. He said GATOR proposes to work on course evaluations, black enrollment, and especially student involvement. "We would like to break up the party system," said GATOR vice-presidential candidate George Majoros. He said he sees the responsibilities of the vice- president as delegating responsibility and coordinating information between committees. Mike Ryngaert, presidential candidate for the new Realistic party says he sees MSA now as "a joke." The Realistic party proposes redefining MSA's main priority as education of students, rather than activism. RYNGAERT SAID MSA now takes itself too seriously, and called the Assembly a "parliamentary pre-school." He said Realistic would strive to help Assembly members put MSA in the proper perspective. One small party this year is not a new organization-the Spartacus Youth League has run in MSA elections before. SYL presidential candidate Bruce Richard said his party is "using the election as a platform to expose the students to the policies we represent." SYL wants to abolish the administration and have a student-worker-teacher union run the University. The party also advocates doing away with tuition, and supports open admissions. SYL proposes that the state pay a stipend to students so they can receive an education without having to worry about supporting themselves.

By MAURA CARRY In 1940, when the University Lawyers Club was young, room and board in the elegant dormitory for law students was about $322 a year. Inflation has taken its toll over the years, and residents of the Club next year will be paying $2885 for the same type of room-an increase of over 9 per cent from last year's rate. This rate increase-recently approved by the club's Board of Governors-is about average for the Law Quard residence hall, according to Building Director Diane Nefranowicz. The Board of Regents recently approved an 11.2 per cent 1980-81 rate increase for the University's 13 traditional residence halls. Less than one third of the University Law students actually live in the Lawyer's Club, which houses 316 students this year. Nefranowicz explained that the club, unlike other residence halls, exists on its own, and is distinct from the Law school and from other University housing. It relies totally on student payments for support, and the management is contracted through the University housing office. The club itself, as well as the Law School and Martha Cook residence hall, was donated to the University by William Cook, an 1882 Law school graduate. Cook, who practiced law in New York City until 1930, donated a total of $16 million to the University during his lifetime. ORIGINALLY DESIGNED to hold 260 students, the Lawyer's Club started out in 1924 as a single wing structure on State Street. Successive wings were added in 1927 and 1930. The final addition was the Law School itself. Waiter service and professional tailoring were some of the services offered to residents in the early days of the club. Many of these luxuries can't be found today, but residents still eat from real silver flatware and feast on steak every Thursday night. Nefranowicz said that the Lawyer's Club is an ideal place for Law students to live. "Students have a lot 'of input here," she said. "They have the ability to make significant changes if they want." Students voted this year on cuts and additions in the new increased budget. RUSSEL RUA, a second term law student, said one of the advantages of living in the Lawyer's Club is its proximity to classes. "It gives you a chance to interact with other law students," he added. Another resident, Dale Stephenson, said that the Lawyer's Club has its State court backs funds for abortion (Continued from Page1) court decision saying it was "not per- suaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court." Justices Thomas Kavanagh and Mennen Williams indicated they would have accepted the appeal. Ryan, in his dissent, called the case one with "constitutional, moral, human, political and fiscal dimensions and now, in light of the court of appeals decision, jurisprudential dimensions as well." "If this case is not a case of sufficient importance for this court to decide, what case will be?" he asked.

Nefranowicz said that most of the residents of the club are first and second year students, and that usually about half of the incoming first year students choose to live at the club. THE CLUB ALSO has six guestrooms whicha re usually filled by visiting professors from other law schools and guest lecturers. "The students have a chane to interact with the profs and lecturers," Nefranowicz said.
